One of the TV channels in the UK has been showing ‘stuff’ in 3D. A major supermarket has been giving away the glasses needed.
Last Sunday I eventually got round to getting some but they had run out. I was going to leave it at that but having settled down in front of the telly after a splendid lunch I then decided to rise to the challenge and create my own 3D specs using an old pair of reading glasses.
I had a blue felt tip pen that worked well but the red pen was missing from the set. Having tried red sauce and beetroot juice and the skin of a tomato to colour the other lens, none of which worked (you’re forgetting the redcurrant jelly with added port – no good, the port makes it too brown. Lo,TG Ed) , I popped out to a local shop just before it closed and bought a small Christmas pudding that was wrapped in red cellophane ……. brilliant!
I finished my creation and tried them out.
Rubbish.
Nothing.
No re-creation of my childhood.
There were a couple of upsides though. There’s a tiny Christmas pudding to be eaten and the looks I received from Tiggz, who had popped round for lunch, were a joy to behold.
Lo, she is a terrible Goddess just looked resigned.
(Unlike most of the drivel you’re subjected to here, this is the literal truth. I need a quiet little South
sea island urgently. Anybody got one I can borrow? Lo,TG Ed)

Stumble It!

Will there be a youtube video of this event? Just wondering… I’d like to know if I should stock up on popcorn (or perhaps some incontinence pads in anticipation of whatever poor Tiggz went through…)
Oooo – my comments haven’t been working – nubbin’ I did BTW.
Anyhoo, funny you should mention YouTube young Fraccy 2, I’ve just completed a fascinating, nay scintillating, educational video. I’ll put it up tomorrow ….. just for you ……..
[makes note to hack you tube and disable it for several days until the DP madness subsides]
But it’s brilliant!!!! ……. tee hee
You should only ever look at stuff through rose coloured glasses.
Rose or rosé? ………….
I don’t think it Mateus – - -
A maligned brand – it’s actually quite nice. Keeping on the 3D theme, I can’t say the same for Blue Nun though ….
I’ve been watching these 3D films etc on Ch4 the last week, they’re not a patch of the new 3D in the cinema which is awesome, but I must say your attempt at reconstructing some 3D shades is brilliant, get a video of them on youtube and you’ll be famous, oh! you already are famous
I’m very pleased to hear that “they’re not a patch”. My glasses were complete and total rubbish …… [nothing new there then]
Maybe you had them on upside down….
PS Didn’t 3D specs used to be green and red?
Indeed they did …… [note to self - make no mention of age ...... goddesses find it very upsetting]
you know why it failed? You used National Health specs and you didn’t colour in the entire area blue tsk!!
[TG you know if I had a South sea island get away you know I would let you share it ... mean while I have a spare room
]
Not National Health!!!! Asda’s finest – £2 for two pairs – I don’t buy rubbish you know ……..
Looks like creativity gone horribly wrong!
Some you win and some you lose ……. oh well
