Never never never have any building work done. Never. Ever. In. A. Million. Years. Move house or something instead. Or just burn the place down. Blogging has been light for this reason. Anyway, for a bit of light entertainment this excellent picture of the new iRant keyboard is courtesy of […]

February 11, 2009 at 5:12 pm

TheEye has the builders in. This is not a cheap undertaking, and it also involves a certain Sleeping-At-A-Mate’s-Place effort as the disruption really is unbearable.

Those Were The Days….

February 8, 2009 at 2:58 am

Yesterday was the anniversary of traitor, liar, EEC-sellout and infamous cottager Edward Heath calling a snap election in 1974. Alistair Cooke has written a very good article about what life was like in those hard times. Documenting the run-up to the election it serves as a bit of a reminder […]

Not something you will want anywhere near you at 4pm UK time today if in a violent frame of mind. Chapter 15 of The Armourer’s Prentices by Charlotte Yonge which is on TheEye’s current “being read” schedule is called Heave Half A Brick At Him. Replace ‘Him’ with ‘Her’. You […]
