Plant Pot Is An Elf’N’Safety Risk

April 8, 2009 at 7:42 am

Why do we tolerate this sort of nonsense? Why do we put up with it? Why can’t we get these people up close and personal with rope and lampposts? Diana Angel left out a sack of rubbish with a plastic plant pot and a broken dustpan and brush only to […]

Take A Swing At Gordoom

April 7, 2009 at 2:56 pm

The World of Golf in New Malden has come up with a fantastic way of helping golfers to improve their aim: it has set up a target of the the one-eyed snot-gobbling Prime Mentalist on their driving range. Originally seen on the Standard’s website, apparently day-on-day golf ball usage is […]

…But Carry A Big Stick

April 7, 2009 at 6:48 am

A decade ago, TheEye was invited aboard the USS Enterprise (the aircraft carrier, not the starship) and had a most excellent although dry dinner in the wardroom. Luckily was pre-armed with a hipflask. It dropped anchor in The Solent…the stretch of water between the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth….because it […]

The Obamessiah Invents A New Language

April 7, 2009 at 5:59 am

Love’im or loathe’im, President Bush made a verbal gaffe or two. In todays intense media scrutiny of every cough or hesitation by a politician on television this will only increase. The MSM jumped on Bush for not remembering the name of the then President of Pakistan and replayed the clip […]

Pub Quiz Question On Politics

April 7, 2009 at 5:31 am

What do the following men have in common – apart from being ex-Prime Ministers obviously: Lord North John Russell, 1st Earl Russell Benjamin Disraeli William Gladstone Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury William Gladstone Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery Stanley Baldwin Ramsay MacDonald James Callaghan Clue: TheEye wants to […]

It Must Have Been A Great Curry

April 5, 2009 at 2:44 am

Have you ever met a Russian with a sense of humour? No, TheEye hasn’t either…but it turns out that they do exist. Pravda brings us news that the statue of Lenin which stands outside of the Finnish Railway Station in St. Petersburg has been vandalised. It happened at 4a.m. on […]

It Was A Bright Cold Day In April….in 1984

April 4, 2009 at 12:59 am

On the 4th of April 25 years ago, it was, famously, a bright cold day. George Orwell wasn’t writing a instruction manual for ZaNuLabour, it was/is a warning. If you haven’t got it then get a copy, read it and pass it on to spread the message. “It was a […]

Heroes And Zeroes

April 2, 2009 at 12:02 am

For exactly 250 posts now, TheEye and his co-conspirators St Crispin and the GrumpyOldTwat have been randomly spreading military stuff, political opinion and random nonsense with all of the enthusiasm of a Rwandan soldier who has just won 2 minutes on a trolley-dash in a machete shop. To mark this […]

EU: All Your Base Are Belong To Us

April 1, 2009 at 5:28 pm

This gets so spectacularly on TheEye’s nerves that random physical violence against passing tourists is possible. A report commissioned by the European Parliament wants bases like Gibraltar, Cyprus and the Falklands operating under EU flags as part of the “European Security and Defence Policy”. It says: “Member states of the […]

Diamonds In The Dark (Or Not)

March 31, 2009 at 5:38 pm

Now TheEye has no truck with this eco-nonsense. David Cameron may have a windmill on his house and councils may be putting microchips in bins but it comes to just too much when the entire world is instructed to turn every light off for some nonsense called “Earth Hour”. Doubtless […]
