Lost Contact Lens Delays Brown Speech

Gordon Brown was forced to delay a speech to a Labour Party conference last week after he accidentally washed a contact lens down the sink, reports the Times of London. The British PM had no extra pair, and a staff worker had to detach the pipe beneath the sink to retrieve the lens. Brown is blind in one eye from a teenage rugby accident, and rumored to be having vision issues in his other.
