27? U R So Old, Dude

March 15, 2009 at 10:27 pm

TheEye is unimpressed by a paper issued by the University of West Virginia and published in the journal Neurobiology Of Ageing. Apparently your mental ability hits a peak at around the age of 22 and by 27 you are well on the downward spiral. The study of 2,000 men and […]

This message is from the Young Britons’ Foundation to certain chaps and chapesses in Luton (and elsewhere). Says it very well.

Mind Your Own Business (Part Deux)

March 14, 2009 at 10:02 am

“It’s Either Banned Or Compulsory” asks an interesting question in the Comments on the DVDs given to The One-Eyed One Eyed Son of the Manse. What DVD’s should he have been given instead? Great idea and TheEye will kick this off: Moby Dick – what else for Jonah Broon?An Inspector […]

Mind Your Own Business

March 13, 2009 at 10:25 pm

If there are two things TheEye really hates…memes and being tagged for them. The reaction is summed up by the picture. Now TheEye forgives fellow contributor GOT for tagging him (just) so this is the answer although revenge will occur. An obscure MP called Tom Harris decided that it might […]

The UK’s Flying Eyes And Ears Are Grounded

March 13, 2009 at 8:47 pm

You may want to buy a used Harrier jet for the front lawn as per the previous post, but if Del-Boy offers you a Nimrod then turn him down. The RAF have 18 of them. One tragically crashed in Afghanistan on 2nd September 2006 with the loss of 14 servicemen. […]

For Sale: One Harrier GR7

As St. Crispin has blogged below on second-hand aircraft, TheEye offers him an opportunity for the ultimate in garden ornaments…a used Harrier GR7 (one careful owner, some scratches). Obtainable from the MoD Disposal Services Authority here, it doesn’t come with an engine so he’ll have to pick it up from […]

It’s My Body And I’ll Die If I Want To

What better way to celebrate World Kidney Day than with a bottle of decent red wine? The answer is by opening a second…which will occur in the very near future here. Cheers! TheEye does not smoke but does enjoy the occasional cigar after dinner. To celebrate National No Smoking Day […]

Where Does “Anti-Extremist” Funding Really Go?

March 11, 2009 at 7:55 pm

There is a Government makework slushfund blackhole initiative to throw £70 million of our cash at projects to cuddle domestic terrorists resident extremists. It didn’t do any good in Luton, obviously. The Shadow Minister for Communities and Local Government Paul Goodman made a point of order in the House of […]

A Land Fit For Heroes?

March 11, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Despite the fact that this is already receiving widespread front page media attention. this demands a post on this military-leaning blog. Muslims, as everyone will know by now, protested when the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglicans marched through Luton to mark their return from a tour of Basra. There were 12 […]
