I have just come back from the hospital where our local paramedics took my wife in after a weird after dinner accident.

Skills topic addition request - Sketchup or layout/drafting skill? - 2 replies Hello Martin, As always I am very impressed with this site and am grateful that you do such a great job on it. Would it be possible to add a category to the Skills tags that would encompass layout, drafting or Sketchup skills? Maybe Sketchup could be added to the Tools tags? Thanks again for all the work you put into this site! Mark |

Contact lenses in the shop...good idea or a trip to emerg just waiting to happen? - 19 replies Do you wear contact lenses in the shop? I am torn by the convenience and clarity of contacts but and concerned about the potential risks of dust etc. I also hate the idea of dropping a pair of glasses in the shop and breaking them.
