Not being a reader of the Grauniad I’m grateful for a nod in the direction of this article by Peter Wilby: “The Telegraph group, by my calculations, probably sold an average 60,000 full-price papers a day (including Sundays) that it would not otherwise have sold, taking into account that, on […]

Whilst it is disgraceful that Her Majesty was not invited to the commemorations in Normandy to honour the heroes of “Obama Beach”, it is interesting to note one fact-ette. The Queen is constantly being referred to as the only current head of state who was in uniform and served during […]

In 1773 a bunch of Boston Yanks decided to raid a perfectly legitimate trading vessel and offloaded its expensive cargo into the harbour. Shareholders were presumably not happy. This became a trigger for some further minor grumblings in the colonies, but rest assured that we will bring them back into […]

As odd suicide bids go, this one is rather impressive. Milo Bogisic, 52, walked in to a funeral parlour in Podgorica, Montenegro, and paid cash for a coffin. Staff looked on bemused as he sat down and wrote his own obituary, but they weren’t expecting him to climb in to […]

Is there no end to the mindless stupidity of the people who live around us? Sometimes they manage to breathe and talk at the same time but that’s about their limit. And they are allowed to vote, too. For example, who could believe that the library at HMP Erlestoke near […]

Afghanistan ultimately prevailed 5-4 over Russia in the men’s final while Zambia won the inaugural women’s final 7-1. Newly […]

In an exercise in what might be regarded as rather poor taste, Estonia has published a 2009 calendar of WW2 recruitment posters for the the 20th (1st Estonian) Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. The calendar sold out in three days and had to be reprinted. It has 12 reproductions […]

As a non-corporeal being TheEye cannot have committed a sin. However, as the picture shows, souls have been literally weighed for purity in the past. With a newly-found and certain nervousness about one’s lack of physical being, TheEye is worried that eBay has now banned the selling of one’s soul. […]
