I somehow contrived to break my glasses on my way into work this morning. They are currently held together with sellotape. Even by my standards, I'm a bit of a nerd cliche today.
So, naturally, it's this morning that I meet the lovely Nell Boase. Sigh.
Update: Photo as requested.
Simon, get someone to take a picture of this geek cliche. Was Nell suitably unnerved by your appearance or did she just not notice you?

No change there, then - that's the impression I normally give.
