Random Miscellany Featuring Beavers And Other Suspects

December 14, 2008 at 5:41 am

In the never-ending hunt for miscellany, TheEye casts its glower in the direction of the newly-valuable Austrian Times. From here TheEye, who was brought up in the countryside and so is not daft about the fact that wild animals might actually do things without permission, found a most amusing story. […]

Physician Heal Thyself

December 12, 2008 at 7:18 am

There are very few occasions when a screen-grab simply speaks for itself, and when they do come along they are simply priceless. This is one such occasion. From the The Daily Telegraph website on 10th Dec we are told about a UK judge who savaged lawyers for excessive fees after […]

A Tangled Web – A Recommendation

December 12, 2008 at 5:30 am

TheEye, under another name, often makes a nuisance of itself over on Biased-BBC….a cause very close to one’s retina (in all sorts of ways). However, as the gaze has been cast wider, one has just observed that B-BBC Editor David Vance also hosts a site called A Tangled Web. It […]

There! May! Be! Trouble! Ahead!

December 10, 2008 at 5:06 am

Today, a few friends of TheEye who work for Yahoo! are very nervous – poised to find out if their mortage repayments are going to go south more rapidly than a Michael Jackson facelift. All Things Digital is claiming that 1,500 (or approximately 10% of the workforce) will be told […]

A Day To Remember The Fallen

December 7, 2008 at 3:39 pm

The Eye is frequently reminded of the frailty of human life and the inhumanity we too often see. Hence the Eye keeps track of things which must never be forgotten. Today is the 67th anniversary of the infamy of the Pearl Harbor attack.Nine ships of the U.S. fleet were sunk […]

First They Came For The Falklands….

December 7, 2008 at 12:13 am

From a newspaper which used to be known as the Daily ToryGraph but now shills on a daily basis for the Labour Party, we obtain some very disturbing news. In 1982 the icebreaker HMS Endurance was withdrawn from around the Falkland Islands. Although not a front line ship its withdrawal […]

Faster Than A Speeding Tax Increase, Able To Leap Tall Campaign Promises In A Single Bound.

December 5, 2008 at 3:33 pm

The image is shamelessly acquired from Free Republic (not on my daily must-read list but I should probably drop by slightly more frequently than I do). The article sparking this post off was John Hawkin’s Before We Carve Barack Obama’s Face on Mt. Rushmore which is well worth a read. […]

Letters From a Tory – a recommendation

December 2, 2008 at 9:06 pm

It’s been surprising that I’ve not clicked on Letters From A Tory’s website before – and even more entertaining we come from the same side of the aisle we don’t agree on most things. We have grumbled in our exchange of blog posts but we are basically on the same […]

The Legacy Of Herod

November 30, 2008 at 9:32 pm

This is probably the most disgusting present you could give to anyone for Christmas, but trust me, as you’ll see from the sources, it’s genuine: an abortion. In the U.S. an organisation called Planned Parenthood, which in past years has promoted a “Choice on Earth” abortion campaign during the Christmas […]

The Royal Gibraltar Regiment in Gambia

November 30, 2008 at 2:14 pm

This post is combined from a variety of articles, posts and news articles so not my original work, but, all together, they deserve a much wider audience than just in Gibraltar. In sweltering tropical conditions members of the Gambian Armed Forces are being trained for a peacekeeping deployment to Darfur […]
