TheEye dislikes reproducing stories which have already begun to make their way around t’interweb but this one is almost too scary to be true and an exception must be made. The vastly expensive campaign has had this poster designed. The Lone Voice here observes:In a time of recession the government […]

Those of a certain age will remember The Bangles, an 80’s pop phemomenon/embarassment depending on your taste. Who could forget hit songs like “Manic Monday” (written by Prince, incidentally), “Walk Like An Egyptian” and “Eternal Flame”? After a fifteen-year pause, the original members Susanna Hoffs, Debbi Peterson, and Vicki Peterson […]

Almost certainly Chris Hoy is a thoroughly decent cove. He may even have a personality despite being voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year which, from the recent results, probably means the opposite. Today he was awarded a knighthood. Eh? Why? He cycled around in a circle in Peking this […]

No, not the plaintive cry of a potato, but the words of the most famous cartoon spinach-eater: Popeye. Not true for much longer. In a few hours time the copyright on the sailor will expire. Our EU overlords only allow his creator, Elize Segar (who died aged 43), 70 years […]

TheEye would like to Hat-Tip The Croydonian for a marvellous headline: Israelis consider ground offensive in Gaza As he observes…was the ground grumpy? Angry? Depressed? Vaguely not amused? Unhappy to be there? Was sea or air preferable for a sparky conversation? It’s here. TheEye suspects that Israel probably had a […]

TheEye was rather amused to see the following series of news items sequentially on the Pravda website. You don’t need to read them really as they are mostly propaganda and tractor production statistics. Just read the titles here…the oldest one is at the top, so feel scared as you read […]

In ridiculous news today, TheEye has been tipped off about plans by architect Tom Stebbings to build a nine-foot wide house. It’ll be three storeys high and will be built on the site of a garage (pictured) in Albert Street, Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk. Somehow there will be two […]

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 […]

One begins to worry sometimes whether sanity and grass-roots realism will surface in time to peg back the ever-encroaching grip of the EUSSR. Christopher Booker records here the disgraceful behaviour of certain Members of the European Parliament during their visit to Prague Castle recently and their outright rudeness and arrogance […]
