There is almost no risk of me going blind. I’m not prodding my eyes roughly or causing any sensation other than mild pressure.

We have never seen the headline ‘Man goes totally blind by gently pressing heel of hand into closed eyes’

It’s also, as I said, not something I do all the time. It’s not a hobby. Every once in a while in a nice hot bath or lying in the sun for added colour variance.

It’s sweet.

I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’m not doing irreparable damage with the mild pressing a dozen or so times a year.

Why ‘especially if you’re 43’?

I’m Northern Irish and regularly get confused for being Scottish, despite the accents and cadence sounding not at all similar to my ear.

I have this and it’s annoying but has the best name.

It’s known as ACHOO syndrome. Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helioopthalmic Outburst.

He is, in fact, a bitch.

Facebook: not then, not now, not ever.

Hoisted by my own petard (to be foiled by your own plan), is a nice flowery one, although it actually makes sense. The bee’s knees (for something excellent) is a good one that makes no sense. Wet behind the ears (inexperienced) is another cool one.
