ok chaps. How does one take photos of someone wearing glasses, somewhere where you *need* flash, without the flash bouncing back and killing the photo?

Have them turn their head slightly to the side and point their chin down a hair. That's usually enough to change the angle of incidence. How far you need to turn their face will depend on their prescription, how large the lenses are and any coatings they may have on the lenses.

But by following the angle of incidence and using the curvatures of the lenses, you can sometimes get the flash to bounce away from the lens.
