The Blogging Den

January 1, 2011 at 5:42 pm

In a splendidly retro way, TheEye has been tagged in a what-does-your-desk-look-like meme by Woman On A Raft. The path of tagging destruction wends its way back to Mordor via JuliaM; Grim Reaper and ManWiddecombe, Filthy Engineer and to the instigator, the unmissable Dick Puddlecote. Various others of the bloggers of Gondor have […]

Happy New Year

December 31, 2010 at 8:00 pm

For this evening: TheEye will be trying out a new iPhone application called ‘Top Shelf‘. If you want to mix a new drink, the app thinks the way most of us do – instead of going out to buy the ingredients, it shows you how to build a new drink with […]

Merry Christmas

December 24, 2010 at 10:14 pm

On behalf of all four contributors to the AllSeeingEye blog, TheEye wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year; and for those of you on deployment or serving in unfriendly places, a safe homecoming.

Yes, You Are In A Slower Queue

December 24, 2010 at 3:24 am

It’s the age old feeling, and no doubt it’s been honed over the last few weeks as you’ve stood impatiently waiting to buy Christmas presents. That other line is moving faster than yours. Turns out that it’s probably true. And in a perfectly valid academic exercise to enable shops to […]

Leslie Nielsen

December 1, 2010 at 2:18 am

Most people now know of the sad loss of Leslie Nielsen on Sunday. Pneumonia, in the end, rather than the much more likely banana peel, wheelchair, and eight flights of stairs. He was famous for roles in dozens of films and tv shows including The Naked Gun and Police Squad; and […]

World Vegan Day

Today is, apparently, World Vegan Day. You know where you can stick that idea. The weather is still good enough here for a barbecue tonight.

Football’s Coming Home

June 23, 2010 at 12:00 pm

Remember this Super Soaraway Sun headline from last December? Well, in the words of the Prophet Jagger: “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, so it’s down to England against Slovenia in the crunch match today. TheEye is, though, looking forward to his regular Wednesday early evening poker game and […]

RMS Titanic Memorial Cruise

September 12, 2009 at 6:55 pm

Now this has to be possibly one of the most inventive and outrageously tasteless events of all time. You can recreate the voyage of the RMS Titanic (iceberg not included). Bookings are available for 1,309 passengers – the same number that sailed on Titanic’s maiden voyage – and Balmoral will follow the […]

Fantastic Excuses Of Our Time

September 5, 2009 at 1:33 am

A teenage girl agreed to have under-age sex because she wanted to lose her virginity before the Large Hadron Collider caused the end of the world, according to the Telegraph. The girl, who is aged between 13 and 15, had heard rumours that particle accelerator under the Franco-Swiss border would […]

Whatever Next

August 29, 2009 at 10:50 am

Well temporarily stun TheEye with an item of avian plumage. We learn from the BBC that people drink on holiday. No, contain your shock, horror and righteous indignation. And its phrased in a very negative way too…booze…not alcohol or fine local wines. It’s 8 drinks a day, which they multiply by […]
