I have the same problem. After going back to the opticians a few times, the solution I ended with was progressives that are great for long and middle distance (so good for driving and using the screen) but no use for reading or close-up work.

Many women are able to borrow a friend's whenever they want to.

Penis size is pretty useless as a biometric. It changes depending on the site being accessed.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Because of the low fleet flight hours, that one accident gave it the worst safety record of that generation of aircraft. It was retired because it would have been too expensive to make it safe.

Trust me -- whatever country you're in, the right side of the road is the opposite one to the oncoming traffic.

You never ride the subway, then? I don't think trains have steering wheels...
