Five and a half rods cost me £30 per year.

Budget do it yourself eye surgery, where a set of new rods, to go with the cones on the retinal surface sets you back about £30.

My mate plays World of Warcraft and is forever banging on about making rods.

No that is wrong Cardinal, and you can chin him when he turns over for leading you up the wrong path.
