People talk of “barriers” or “milestones” or “tipping points” or “marks” and assign them a significance far beyond their actual worth. Hitting a century at Lord’s. Getting that telegram from the Queen. Watching the FTSE top 6000. This is not one of those moments. Every one of those 201 servicemen […]

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 […]

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 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. […]

This is the first New Year for TheEye with this blog, and doubtless fellow contributor St Crispin will join in offering próspero año nuevo to all of our readers. In the meantime, a New Year’s Resolution is necessary. Please add your own in the Comments section but as far as […]

TheEye wishes his family, his friends including his fellow contributor St Crispin; and all of the readers of this site – a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year (despite the worrying omens from the economic entrails). Christmas has once again been hijacked by the Politically Correct lobby and […]

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 […]
