It would be hard to believe that most of TheEye’s regular readers are not frequent denizens of Komsomolskaya Pravda. So therefore it is only for passing blog visitors that one feels the need to relate the sorry tale (reported today) of a naked couple pulled from a freezing river after […]

Always on the lookout for that final stocking-filler, TheEye happens upon this book called “Toujours Tingo: Weird words and bizarre phrases“. Compiled by Adam Jacot de Boinod, it lists weird words and bizarre phrases from around the world. The “tingo” of its title is an Easter Island word, meaning to […]

As a non-corporeal being TheEye cannot have committed a sin. However, as the picture shows, souls have been literally weighed for purity in the past. With a newly-found and certain nervousness about one’s lack of physical being, TheEye is worried that eBay has now banned the selling of one’s soul. […]

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 […]

TheEye, under another name, often makes a nuisance of itself over on Biased-BBC….a cause very close to one’s retina (in all sorts of ways). However, as the gaze has been cast wider, one has just observed that B-BBC Editor David Vance also hosts a site called A Tangled Web. It […]

The Eye is frequently reminded of the frailty of human life and the inhumanity we too often see. Hence the Eye keeps track of things which must never be forgotten. Today is the 67th anniversary of the infamy of the Pearl Harbor attack.Nine ships of the U.S. fleet were sunk […]

It’s been surprising that I’ve not clicked on Letters From A Tory’s website before – and even more entertaining we come from the same side of the aisle we don’t agree on most things. We have grumbled in our exchange of blog posts but we are basically on the same […]

The Eye likes to cast its gaze over trivia as much as the burning issues of the day, hence this bit of fun. The always indispensable Croydonian often publishes polls which genuinely defy belief and he has continued this fine pattern with a survey of our Gallic neighbours “Is the […]
