Cadbury, Britain’s most famous chocolate maker, has decided to warn chocolate lovers that its product contains: milk. The latest Dairy Milk wrappers feature a logo showing a glass and a half of milk being poured into a chocolate chunk, put milk first in a list of ingredients and explains that […]

4ChangeLife from The Dept. of Health

January 4, 2009 at 4:56 pm

TheEye dislikes reproducing stories which have already begun to make their way around t’interweb but this one is almost too scary to be true and an exception must be made. The vastly expensive campaign has had this poster designed. The Lone Voice here observes:In a time of recession the government […]

Where Are They Now: The Bangles

January 4, 2009 at 2:42 pm

Those of a certain age will remember The Bangles, an 80’s pop phemomenon/embarassment depending on your taste. Who could forget hit songs like “Manic Monday” (written by Prince, incidentally), “Walk Like An Egyptian” and “Eternal Flame”? After a fifteen-year pause, the original members Susanna Hoffs, Debbi Peterson, and Vicki Peterson […]

January 2, 2009 at 1:07 am

Whilst in no way denegrating serious stories, TheEye delights in trivia and is pleased to note that the Gibraltar Football Association has been notified by its Swiss lawyers of a ruling of the Swiss Supreme Court on 22nd December which favoured GFA’s application for UEFA membership.

BlogRoll Suggestion: Falling Down

December 31, 2008 at 12:14 am

TheEye has observed that a blog called Falling Down has become aware of our non-corporeal existence and has alerted his readers to this fact. This may or may not be a disturbing occurrence. The blogger, who calls himself “The Screech” is quite blunt – if you don’t like swearing then […]

Katherine Jenkins To The Rescue

December 28, 2008 at 2:48 am

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 […]

Have An Opinion? Blog!

December 27, 2008 at 9:02 am

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 […]
