As usual, one of your convivial hosts will be assisting with the moderation of a live-chat over on BiasedBBC which provides in-running banter, comment and lashings of haughty contempt during Question Time. The panelists most likely to make me throw things at the screen this week are Charles Clarke, Caroline […]

Much as TheEye enjoyed the G.O.T.s posting below, the BBC reports: “An 18-year-old has secretly painted a 60ft drawing of a phallus on the roof of his parents’ £1million mansion in Berkshire. It was there for a year before his parents found out. They say he’ll have to scrub it […]

A few gems are proffered from the ever-bizarre Austrian Times here in a digest rather than as full posts. Ever looked at your sister in a strange way? No? Ah, so it’s just me in trouble then* unless, of course, I was living in Romania. Incest Laws Scrapped Legal authorities […]

TheEye has no time for Goody-mania, and has no idea what she has ever done (if anything). However she isn’t dead yet and it’s really a bit much that OK! has published a 1981-2009 Official Tribute Issue before her pulse has even stopped. If you want to avoid one thing […]

In what has become a great Thursday night ritual, once again TheEye will be assisting in the moderation of a live-chat over on Biased-BBC – which tracks the BBC’s Question Time as it goes along. It’s a rough-and-tumble live blog which is well worth the entertainment value and several readers […]

David Amess (Southend West, Conservative) | Hansard source […]

Iain Dale has posted and interesting although US-centric poll on his blog.From the Orator blog there is a link to a questionnaire to let you know how “conservative” or “progressive” you are. You have to answer 40 questions and then it gives you a rating on a scale of 1 […]

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 […]

“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 […]

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 […]
