Along with the dancing car-robot and the singing-in-the-rain remake, nibble nobbys nuts is one of the best ads on the telly at the moment.
I haven't actually nibbled his nuts yet, but I have nobbys crisps here infront of me (Balti Chicken flavour; goon recommends) and there is an interesting fact on the back that I think is relevant here:
 Originally by: NOBBY, NOT NODDY!
Most pirates had two perfectly good eyes. By wearing an eyepatch at all times, the covered eye would become highly sensitive, making it ideal to navigate at night using the stars. Modern day soldiers are taught a similar night vision technique during basic training, to assist them when fighting under the cover of darkness.
Did any of you know this? Interesting news to me!

It's one of the most disturbing ads ever, imo.
The thought of anyone nibbling on Noddy Holder's genitalia is horrific

hehe, I remember an ad for Nobbys Nuts over 10 years ago in Australia - they had a slogan that was like this "Nibble Nobby's nuts..... before Nobby nibbles yours".

in world war 2 submarines, they used to wear goggles with red lenses to enhance the sight in the dark, since when the torps or depth charges exploded near, the first thin got go was the light-bulbs

Being a soldier and involved in training the little hoodlums there are techniques taught to maintain night vision. If I may, some examples:-
1. White light flare or illum shell (called star shells) go up as you're sneaking around the enemy position and the immediate action is to close one eye. Preferably the master eye that you use to shoot with.
2. Use of red light. Red light is "a good thing"(tm) since it is less disturbing to the eyes and they recover quickly from red light intrusion more so than other light type. The only problem with red light is when map reading in the dark the contour lines are red and with red light you can ruin your night by trapesing up a hill you never knew was there cos the red light cancels the red contour lines.... doh.
3. Night vision aids. Less common than you might think and mostly in green these days. Using these lil buggers leaves your eyes unaccustomed to darkness when you remove yer eyeballs from the sight and your eye has to readjust. Having one eye out of adjustment with the other is quite odd.
4. Eye readjustment to darkness takes on average about 30 minutes to get really good. Some peeps - i r a lucky one - readjust quite a bit faster. I am however shortsighted and cant tell green from brown, so I lost out in other ways! You can tell how well adjusted your eyes are when you wake up at night and the v dark room is actually quite bright. Give yourself a headache by turning on your bedroom lights for 5 minutes then turn them off and sit for ages waiting for night vision to return. When the room vision picture matches with waht it was like when you woke up in the dark, yer eyeballs have adjusted.
5. Contrary to common sense night isn't often very dark and with adjusted eyes you can see quite well with ambient light sources around the place. The desert without moonlight or starlight, i.e cloud cover, is fecking pitch black. Most modern, passive, Night vision aids don't help much since they rely on ambient light amplification. (Infra red is another story)
Completely off topic regarding nobby's nuts, but reasonably interesting nevertheless.

Actually I only used nobbys nuts to get peoples attention, your reply was more the kind of answer I was looking for. Very interesting, thanks!
Maybe I'll start wearing an eyepatch for advantage in night situations... beats spending a couple of grand on night vision goggles (which I was actually planning) :)
