There’s a great article in the Independent on Sunday (and it’s not often you get to say that) about how a 2009 general election might be fought with the campaigning advertising that will be appearing on poster sites all over the country. The paper asked half a dozen top advertising […]

Despite being a non-coporeal being, TheEye appreciates the finer things in life, and regards Katherine Jenkins as an opera singer with very fine lungs. Apparently someone called “Leona Lewis” refused to open the Phony Pharaoh’s shop this year for the start of the Harrods Winter Sale. TheEye has no idea […]

The always indispensable Croydonian is very fond of surveys and research, and sometimes uses the Washington-based Pew Research Center for People & the Press as a source, although he hasn’t used this result (yet). He blogs rather than produces a dead-tree newsletter, which seems very sensible as the latest from […]

In an exercise in what might be regarded as rather poor taste, Estonia has published a 2009 calendar of WW2 recruitment posters for the the 20th (1st Estonian) Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. The calendar sold out in three days and had to be reprinted. It has 12 reproductions […]

TheEye wishes his family, his friends including his fellow contributor St Crispin; and all of the readers of this site – a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year (despite the worrying omens from the economic entrails). Christmas has once again been hijacked by the Politically Correct lobby and […]

TheEye was rather amused to see the following series of news items sequentially on the Pravda website. You don’t need to read them really as they are mostly propaganda and tractor production statistics. Just read the titles here…the oldest one is at the top, so feel scared as you read […]

In ridiculous news today, TheEye has been tipped off about plans by architect Tom Stebbings to build a nine-foot wide house. It’ll be three storeys high and will be built on the site of a garage (pictured) in Albert Street, Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. Somehow there will be two […]

This article in the excellent “The Register” Lists more of the woes of the jolly old Eurofighter (Typhoon to you & me, but I suspect not to our square headed co-owners), and along with it, the woes of the Jolly old RAF. Apparently we are now “pooing on our own […]
