Bouyed by a splendid contribution from St Crispin’s Day, TheEye feels it can relax, slip back into the metaphorical armchair and contemplate the buying of Christmas gifts for its corporeal friends. And so one’s gaze turns to the ultimate in Something-For-The-Person-Who-Has-Everything: A Space Shuttle. Yes, TheEye kids you not. NASA’s […]

Never shy about reporting on breaking news which is vital to the future of our civilisation, TheEye needs to inform its readers of breaking news from Missouri. A state legislator there wants to rescind a 19th-century law banning the sale of yellow margarine, though it’s been years since any violator […]

Despite not existing as a corporeal being, TheEye is delighted to note the election of Kseniya Sukhinova (20) as the new Miss World. Kseniya (if we may be so familiar) from north-west Russia (TheEye has her telephone number but isn’t telling*), beat Miss India and Miss Trinidad and Tobago into […]

Police believed Weatherley was doing something […]

Talk about historical revisionism. Last month the French were claiming that we didn’t play fair at Agincourt and now a group of lecturers at third-rate ex-Poly Portsmouth Uni are claiming that the pride of Henry VIII’s fleet, Mary Rose, was actually sunk by a cannonball fired from a much smaller […]

After a few serious posts I’d like to lighten the mood of the site. My friend PB has emailed me this man-held female controller. Strangely I doubt that it works but it’s worth a look. Not for sale locally as far as I can track down. Click on the image […]
