After a few serious posts I’d like to lighten the mood of the site. My friend PB has emailed me this man-held female controller. Strangely I doubt that it works but it’s worth a look. Not for sale locally as far as I can track down. Click on the image […]

Although this is doing the rounds, one has to enjoy the idea of buying this from here.* *Once again the Eye is doing this for fun and not for any profit.

I’m specifically avoiding a “It’s This Long” comment based on the photograph because Lord Ashcroft (who is the world’s biggest collector of VC’s. That’s slightly due to our current government’s contempt for our armed forces which force grieving spouses to have to sell them on) has published a book called […]

The time-zone my job has just taken me to and also the out-of hours work I’m doing now means that I’m horribly late blogging about something I care about enormously. James Cleverly posted the picture which I snaffled and there are, I’m delighted to see, tens of thousands of other […]

…or Christmas Gift Ideas (Suggestion 94) This blog is intended for political thoughts, some military matters and also general idiocy. This certainly comes under the final category. Whoever thought of this bit of kit needs his head examined, as this single slot toaster for no apparent reason creates a perfect […]

I’ve resisted the temptation to blog very much about the US Election on the grounds that everyone else is doing it a whole lot better (and much worse) than me. I’ve just retreated to the AllSeeingEye’s secret lair and am enjoying reading the refined efforts/collective stupidity of many others. Some […]

Both parts of the title are true. ‘Yawn’ because I stayed up to watch the whole thing and had a few drinks (not contributing I hope to someone on Iain Dale’s most excellent live chat calling me a ‘right-wing nutcase’ or something along those lines). I’ve only just woken up. […]
