As usual there will be a live chat and running commentary during QuestionTime using CoverItLive on Thursday at 10:30pm (UK) over at BiasedBBC. It is possible that TheEye may be lurking. Please feel free to add your 0.02p to lively banter and a bit of irreverent fun. Also, AllSeeingEye blog […]

Nicknamed the “Daily Labourgraph” on many blogs – including this one – for a while it is nice to see some resistance from within the ranks. This is on a few other blogs now but really needs echoing here too. An article begins: “Gordon Brown should say ‘sorry’ over economy, […]

TheEye likes to see a campaign well-run. If you want to see an organisation so unbelievably useless at running one then the irony is that its the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) who can’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. Yes, the pub-saving campaign is brought to you by the […]

Like a faithful old dog, TheEye wishes to mourn the passing of a long-time friend. Three days ago the final edition of the Rocky Mountain News gave one last update of the happenings of Denver. TheEye is much like The Croydonian…a connisewer of obscure overseas jottings and actually had this […]

Take a look at It’s Either Banned Or Compulsory– the new blog started after a slight bit of persuasion from the G.O.T. and TheEye. EBC was bullied in to starting something because this blogless vagrant was actually really witty on other sites. At the moment that blog is only carrying […]

TheEye knows a nice little earner when one appears on the horizon. Courtesy of The Croydonian we can see how Northern Ireland’s lawyers are raking it in (£98M for the Saville Inquiry and the meter still running). This is hardly news. More interesting for TheEye and his fellow cable-monkeys is […]

Your (previously) dual-conspirators have given the GrumpyOldTwat a non-sweary haven in exchange for St Crispin and (more likely) TheEye a chance to vent their spleen in splendidly obscene verbosity elsewhere. This will remain, by agreement between St C, G.O.T. and myself a non-sweary family-friendly blog. The welcome could not have […]

Today is Shrove Tuesday or, for those of a less religious nature…Pancake Day. TheEye heartily recommends this recipe for Beer Pancakes. 2 eggs8 oz plain flour2 tbsp granulated sugar2 tsp baking powder1 tsp bicarbonate of soda1 tsp saltHalf a pint milk2 tbsp butter meltedgrated rind of 1 lemon2 tbsp Ale […]

TheEye and St Crispin have, by and large, managed to contain their general venom for the few months that this blog has existed. It’s been non-sweary and will remain (roughly) so. However, there are times when words need to be said, and GrumpyOldTwat and TheEye have come to an arrangement. […]

Regardless of his (unknown) politics, TheEye thoroughly recommends the members of the University of Exeter Students’ Guild to vote for this bloke as their next President. Although your humble host has lengthened the night of more than a couple of returning officers and tellers in his time, he never had […]
