Re: Eyes
Well in Cambodia you can by pre loved dentures.
They are in the shop window and you can go and try some on until you get the ones you like.

Re: Eyes
Reminds me of a good laugh with my dear late Brother, we ae in a Pub in Londons East End, having a good Drink, he suddenly seems to get very Green in the Jowles and runs to the Loo.
I just sit and wait, soon he returns but when i look at him his face looks thinner!
What happened Greg says i ?
Bloody Scrumpy got me throwing up he says and i hurled it all down the Loo ,including my Top Dentures, all gone down the Toilet Damn!!
I have a good laugh at this but he is Mad as a hatter, now how the hell am i going to get a good Babe for Tonight!
Then we spot the Jar! Yes there it is and quite a few Dentures therin,so he strides up and just picks a set that fits (well almost) in they go and wallah! Happy as Larry/
Yes he did get that Sheila for the Night as well LOL
cHEERS

Re: Eyes
On some of the ships I sailed on there was a jar in the messroom with various dentures found on the quay, came in useful for some crew members, not me I've still got all my own.

Ivan were they not thrown away trophy’s before coming back on ship, how did that for courting the fair sex go “ your lips are like petals , bicycle pedals”, “ your teeth are like stars , they come out at night, in a glass of water”. Can’t remember the eyes. Cheers JS

Re: Eyes
Forgot to mention before the drops, it was stressed to me that they were very important
to guard against infection. Initially, could not see well enough to use properly and was
going through more than should, soon realised, they would not last the 14days and
near panicked, got to docs and told I needed the hospital med details, I had not read
all, due to small print and op etc. Once sorted they could not give me enough of the
stuff Panic over.

Round one John and you are still standing, just as you will be at the end of the last round.
