Austerity – Spanish Police Style

June 29, 2012 at 5:24 pm

The increasingly militant Inspector Gadget police blog complains about “cuts” but he hasn’t seen real budget austerity yet. Spanish style.

Tornado landing at RAF Gibraltar They are a 100 year old failed experiment but because they helped out in the ’40s we haven’t politically been able to roll the Royal Air Force back into the Fleet Air Arm and a logistical branch of the Army. TheEye believes in spliting the […]

Bane Of Souls

June 21, 2012 at 10:47 pm

TheEye doesn’t usually recommend things but is just a few pages away from finishing a fantastic book called Bane Of Souls. It’s a fantasy book written by Thaddeus White and TheEye thinks it is brilliant. An epic tale of friendship, honour and huge numbers of people getting murdered.  TheEye has […]

Two Fingers To The Spanish

June 14, 2012 at 10:54 am

It’s a bit difficult to illustrate this post visually correctly but TheEye will give it a go. The main problem is the pure scale and impressiveness of the insult and how it doesn’t translate well in pictures. This is the north face of Gibraltar. It points directly at Spain. You […]
