Not Dead Yet, OK!

March 21, 2009 at 12:35 pm

TheEye has no time for Goody-mania, and has no idea what she has ever done (if anything). However she isn’t dead yet and it’s really a bit much that OK! has published a 1981-2009 Official Tribute Issue before her pulse has even stopped. If you want to avoid one thing […]

It’s My Body And I’ll Die If I Want To

March 12, 2009 at 2:31 pm

What better way to celebrate World Kidney Day than with a bottle of decent red wine? The answer is by opening a second…which will occur in the very near future here. Cheers! TheEye does not smoke but does enjoy the occasional cigar after dinner. To celebrate National No Smoking Day […]

Random Things Costing £700,000ish

March 3, 2009 at 9:35 pm

Two items of complete and utter pointlessness on offer for the ongoing confusion of our readership. First up we have the “Hillsboro Banner” of North Dakota informing us that the Viking Bridge is to be saved. Eh? You don’t read the Banner? TheEye is shocked. We learn that “Restoration of […]

Does This Bus Stop At…Anywhere?

February 23, 2009 at 6:56 pm

Following two serious posts, it’s time for a fun item. The shambles run by the ‘one-eyed Scottish idiot’ has triumphed once again. The Isles of Scilly have received a government (i.e. your money) grant of £51,000 to fund free bus passes for all over-60’s. That’s almost a third of the […]

So, It’s Back To Watching Star Trek For Hints

February 6, 2009 at 1:47 am

There is, according to scientists paid simply to churn out random made-up statistics for publication in journals read only by other scientists – who then steal and recycle the bogus figures to inflate their own nonsense – a theory that our galaxy may contain as many as 38,000 intelligent civilisations. […]

Trivia: Two Great Computer Mods

TheEye saw these over on Dizzy and, being a bit of a geek personally, I felt the need to share them.

Kill Someone With Your iPod…Really

February 1, 2009 at 3:38 am

Due to being slightly nervous that St Crispin, who has fired a substantial gun or two in his time – and still does – might have lost the plot with his post below (personally TheEye hates dreams involving gun rampages because you always wake up before you kill the last […]

“Prof Emeritus” TheEye Wishes To Make A Booking

January 28, 2009 at 7:37 pm

Found via The Poor Little Greek Boy and well worth sharing. Every had to register for something on a website? Of course you have. The “Title” dropdown is always Mr, Mrs, Miss and this strange ‘Ms’ thing which TheEye thinks is just a misspelling. ‘Doctor’ might creep in there too […]

Northern Ireland: Positive And Negative

January 27, 2009 at 9:24 am

TheEye declares himself a friend of Her Majesty’s loyal subjects in Northern Ireland – who have repeatedly expressed via the ballot box that the wish of the majority is to stay within the Union. On this point, there is an excellent article over on ConservativeHome by Tony Sharp arguing against […]

How To Celebrate, Cambodian Style

January 7, 2009 at 12:07 pm

Today is rightly a day of great celebration in Cambodia. The 7th January marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of Pol Pot and his murderous Khmer Rouge scum (’75-’79). May they all rot in hell after being left to soak in a bath full of candiru fish for a […]
