    Moya Doherty of Riverdance. What's with those terrible glasses? Looks like she's wearing an iron cast bridge across her face.

    Bono. But there might be a medical issue there in fairness.

    Anyone else?

    Sonya Lennon. I know she works in the fashion industry but they look like big timber windows on her face. Her hairstyle doesn't do much for her either. Shes only 50 but actually quite good looking ordinarily.

    I had glasses like those in the early 80’s. And a long curly perm!

    She’s 50?! Seriously?

    She’s looking well.

    I grew up having to wear those monstrosities in the 80s. Never again.

    You can’t call being a wanker a medical condition.

    You'll be sorry when the rapture comes and Bono does his list.
    Granted there'll only be about 11 on it , but still.

    Those Deirdre Barlow glasses were extremely popular in the 80's.

    A funny thought just occurred to me. I don't think I've ever watched any soap episode for longer than 10 minutes and yet I know who those two are in that picture and what decade it's from.

    A truly terrifying contemplation.

    I see Susie Dent is now wearing glasses on Countdown. I wouldn't say they're terrible. In actual fact they give her the appearance of a nerdy librarian. Quite nice actually.

    Indeed, and I know that her name then became Deirdre Rachid ...
