TheEye often sets the quiz in the local Hostility and has been known to deeply upset the compilers of other quizzes on a good night. Hence knowing, for example, that in landlocked Utah state it is illegal to hunt whales. In the event that you ever win a pub quiz […]
Two suggestions for this post (feel free to add others in the comments but only if you’d be happy for your mother to read them). 1. Get elected to the H0use of Commons whilst being called Iain Dale (sorry Iain, I know you sometimes stroll via here and that was […]
The GrumpyOldTwat thought that he might as well throw his hat into the ring with regards to this MP meme thing on the basis that he couldn’t possibly do any worse than the current cash troughing incumbents. On reflection though the answers seem strangely familiar . Oh and there will […]

Spanish scientists have discovered traces of cocaine and LSD in the air in the cities of Madrid and Barcelona. Air pollution has long been a fact of life in Spanish cities, but scientists now say that it is not just smog that chokes people as they walk to work or […]
TheEye teams up with the splendid David Vance for the weekly nightmare that is Question Time. Both of us, if not beforehand but certainly afterwards, have consumed industrial quantities of red wine. The live chat that he hosts and TheEye assists moderating, though, is always a rollercoaster of an evening. […]
This blog has always had a military slant and writing about this is obscure but par for the course. Anyone not interested can of course get a full refund at the cloakroom door on your way out. Allow TheEye to introduce the USS Freedom which is the first of the […]
TheEye is an awful poker player. Especially at No-Limit Texas Hold’em. Please invite me to any game you are holding and help yourself to my money because I have no idea what I am doing*. However at least it is still legal in this parish – unlike in Russia. From […]
