Where are my specs?
34 Answers
There must be an invention where you whistle or something to locate your specs.I only need mine for reading (struggle even then) and then I put them down and cant find them.I've even lost a lens but it was a clear one so it doesnt matter - the other one is for an astigmatism.I'm a female Jack Duckworth but I'm lost if I dont have them.
Anyone heard of an invention?

My mum had a specs holder - it was a bit like a slightly flattened leather cuff sitting on a flat base, lined with fur.
Now, my idea (not patented) would be to have a flip-up pair of specs. You see people wearing sunglasses like that, and plastic lenses would be light enough to make it work, I think.
p.s. the thought of a female Jack Duckworth makes me shudder.
gammaray - Your idea is multi functional.
If you dont have the specs attached you can always replace with your gloves if its a nippy day and you have to go out.You could also attach a knife to the left side and a fork to the right thus enabling one to watch the TV and eat at the same time and not having to scramble for the cutlery without taking our eyes of the box (forgot we would probably be wearing the specs) -minor detail - forget that.My brains are now racking with other ideas- out a simple piece of string.
gammaray - I'll be back at cha:)
alfie - it makes me shudder as well.No elastoplast but eyelashes coming out the space and the ability to itch your eye right through the space.Its not feminine -but the thought of getting told my eyes are worse (I know) is stopping me from going to the Optician and having to spend another hundred and odd cos I've seen ones I like better than the ones I've got instead of just getting a new script for the ones I have.I've seen the pop up ones and they are indeed the perfect solution but no offence I associate them with older people but I'm still in my vain stage:)
alfie - people think that about me anyway - even with my intellectual specs on!
Good we can have a laugh about it.
Now - next Q - what do do with the marks the specs leave on the bridge of your nose?I'm serious - do you think they are too tight cos I dont have them on that often?The marks is almost permanent - now you can see where the vanity is coming in alfie:)
HI Drisgirl,
After all the silly answers you got here is the one you asked for!

Found it after a 2 minute search on google.

gammaray - I have been thinking of other uses and I am going to surprise my husband by either attaching the Sky remote to one end and the the surround sound remote to the other end - or his fags on one end and his lighter on the other.Its almost limitless and yet so simple.
I personally am going to use green garden twine - so if he accidentally falls asleep whilst smoking ,after a swift half - then it will melt and it just might fall on him rather than my suite and carpet:)Forgot - it was the cat.
talking about those key finders that beep when you clap or whistle, there are hundreds on ebay, but one caught my eye - this one is flat and has a remote with it so it can be operated by a button push (since you cant whistle) it is also discreetly flat so it could be attached to a specs case, providing you get in to the habit of putting them in the case this could be what you need !
