Emergency spectacles

This is fun, and it works - I just tried it.  (the practical value may be limited, but I can actually read text that I can't otherwise read without my glasses)

A good one if you ever want to show the kids some instant science.

The ZZ9 livejournal has problems.

It's been set up as members only being allowed to post.  Which would be fine, except that the two people listed as able to give membership of the community are now no longer active.  One didn't reply to my request and the other wants nothing to do with it...

If there is any way this community can be set to open posting, it needs to be done.

I want to try and find volunteers to go early on the day of the British Museum slouch and get tickets for the Terracotta Warriors exhibition.  If we all arrive later in the day, the odds are that there won't be any left.  The LJ community seems an obvious place to do this, both to find how many people intend to go, and if anyone planning on going is willing to get tickets for the others.  (I'm told that one person can get up to four tickets)
