Hero Of The Day: Mr . Lai Jiansheng

May 23, 2009 at 9:23 pm

TheEye is delighted to report that the GOT is almost where he needs to be with his own blog. Where he happily isn’t though is the snappily titled Haizhu Bridge in Guangzhou, southern China. It’s become rather a hotspot for local suicide attempts (luckily the GOT decided that his blog […]

David Vance: International Man Of Mystery

May 20, 2009 at 11:45 pm

Okay, guilty as charged. David Vance is apparently not exactly like the bloke in that photograph. In fact a current photograph of our latest co-conspirator would indicate a lack of hair which may be more in the direction of the little-above-the-eyebrows scenario. Now please encouraged to Google for David Vance […]

Official: Men Become Impotent Because Of Women’s Legs

May 20, 2009 at 6:12 pm

Now it might be argued that TheEye has only run with this story as an excuse to publish a picture of a fantastic-looking girl. It might be similarly argued that a picture of a woman in a burqua would have elegantly made a counterpoint to the post and been interestingly […]

Snouts In The Trough (Croatian Edition)

May 20, 2009 at 5:57 pm

A politician running with the slogan “All for me, nothing for you” has made it into the second round of local elections in Croatia. Independent candidate Josko Kraljevic Risa also campaigned using the slogan “It is definitely going to be better for me, but will be the same for you.” […]

Gorbals Mick Is Toast

May 18, 2009 at 8:03 pm

Regular readers will be aware that The G.O.T. St C and TheEye are completely different on politics, background, professions, relationship situations…well basically just about everything. Which is why the three of of us doing this blog together is so much fun. And judging by our readership stats it is for […]

Breaking Obscure Laws Just Because You Can

May 18, 2009 at 6:10 pm

TheEye often sets the quiz in the local Hostility and has been known to deeply upset the compilers of other quizzes on a good night. Hence knowing, for example, that in landlocked Utah state it is illegal to hunt whales. In the event that you ever win a pub quiz […]

Something You Can’t Do If You Are Gay

May 18, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Two suggestions for this post (feel free to add others in the comments but only if you’d be happy for your mother to read them). 1. Get elected to the H0use of Commons whilst being called Iain Dale (sorry Iain, I know you sometimes stroll via here and that was […]

Flat Stevens

May 13, 2009 at 11:56 pm

Does TheEye have a sick sense of humour for blog titles? Hmmmm, sorry, guilty as charged… Cat Stevens is mourning the death of his former manager Monti Luftner, who was run over by a lorry in Garching, Germany. Cat – now back in the charts as Yusuf Islam – enjoyed […]

It Must Have Been A Great Curry

April 5, 2009 at 2:44 am

Have you ever met a Russian with a sense of humour? No, TheEye hasn’t either…but it turns out that they do exist. Pravda brings us news that the statue of Lenin which stands outside of the Finnish Railway Station in St. Petersburg has been vandalised. It happened at 4a.m. on […]

Eastern European News Oddities

March 21, 2009 at 7:48 pm

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 […]
