Re: Favourite Martin pics
Another birthday photo together with some mysterious promises:
-----------------------------------
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Recording some lines for their characters I guess. They look like they are having fun.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Is he far-sighted? And is that a word?

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Yes, it's a word! But he's not a youngster, so it could be presbyopia (I think that's the correct term!) - vision change due to aging. The odd thing is that he's wearing glasses, so you'd think they would be correcting for that - but quite possibly they are not varifocals.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
The terms are long sighted and short sighted, I believe!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
I thought we already knew that Martin and Mark wore glasses?

Me, too.
Most of the cast do...it's an age thing!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
Yes, I think it's the particular vision problem that we're trying to diagnose - lol! I'm still going for presbyopia, because I noticed a big change myself in my 40s. I remember thinking, it doesn't matter how young you look for your age, it's a giveaway when you have to hold things away from you to read them!

Re: Favourite Martin pics
I know, sorry, I was being facetious as usual...
Each time I have my eyes tested, there is very little difference in my prescription...for long sightedness.
But I am really noticing a change now, I think there will be a massive alteration to my next prescription.

Re: Favourite Martin pics
I've gone the other way. I kept needing new glasses through my forties, and now have had the same prescription for years. I was short-sighted to start with, so I wonder if that's what makes the difference? (Sorry, getting OT, but it's so quiet, I don't suppose it matters!). Anyway, I think Martin suits glasses.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

I wonder what he's laughing about in the first photo.
