I wish to formally inform the collected membership of this here community of something of which they may previously have been unaware. Spectacle wearers and yoghurt makers should pay special attention.
Those lucky ones among you who have no need of ocular assistance may not realise that spectacles are magnets. They attract all sorts of muck, filth and general detritus. This you don't want.
Those underprivileged people who don't make their own yoghurt may not realise that the manufacturing process requires bacteria. Not any old bacteria, though.
No doubt, my spectacles, without which I am bat blind, are a regular petri-basin of bacteria, but I guess the wrong type. I did try soaking my specs overnight in milk, but to no useful result.
So, there I was half an hour ago attempting to digest the latest hot news from eG, when I realised that the gunk on my glasses had reached critical overload blocking my view of the wit and wisdom on display and so, decided to clean them. For this purpose, I have some special Japanese devices, no doubt hi-tech, but really just mini wet-wipes sold as lens cleaners. Each wrapped in a little blue sachet.
Unfortunately, also on my desk (god knows why) at the time was a little blue sachet of Lactobaccillus, the very bacteria that milk loves when it wants to grow up into yoghurt.
In order to clean your specs you have to take them off, then you can't see what you are doing.
I am here to tell you that lactobacillus, wonderful and magical in all its milk-related properties, is utterly useless at cleaning spectacles. And mini wet-wipes do nothing for your milk either.
Don't forget!
