The UK’s Flying Eyes And Ears Are Grounded

March 13, 2009 at 8:47 pm

You may want to buy a used Harrier jet for the front lawn as per the previous post, but if Del-Boy offers you a Nimrod then turn him down. The RAF have 18 of them. One tragically crashed in Afghanistan on 2nd September 2006 with the loss of 14 servicemen. […]

For Sale: One Harrier GR7

March 13, 2009 at 2:11 pm

As St. Crispin has blogged below on second-hand aircraft, TheEye offers him an opportunity for the ultimate in garden ornaments…a used Harrier GR7 (one careful owner, some scratches). Obtainable from the MoD Disposal Services Authority here, it doesn’t come with an engine so he’ll have to pick it up from […]

Spitfire shoots down BNP

March 13, 2009 at 1:15 pm

This little article made me laugh! Apparently their PR people neglected to check the details, and used an image of a Spitfire to represent “The defence of Britain against invaders”. As you all will know, the RF prefix on the fuselage indicates a 303 Sqn plane which was manned by […]

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

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 […]

Where Does “Anti-Extremist” Funding Really Go?

March 11, 2009 at 7:55 pm

There is a Government makework slushfund blackhole initiative to throw £70 million of our cash at projects to cuddle domestic terrorists resident extremists. It didn’t do any good in Luton, obviously. The Shadow Minister for Communities and Local Government Paul Goodman made a point of order in the House of […]

A Land Fit For Heroes?

March 11, 2009 at 3:42 pm

Despite the fact that this is already receiving widespread front page media attention. this demands a post on this military-leaning blog. Muslims, as everyone will know by now, protested when the 2nd Battalion Royal Anglicans marched through Luton to mark their return from a tour of Basra. There were 12 […]

The Torygraph Is Back

March 10, 2009 at 6:11 am

Nicknamed the “Daily Labourgraph” on many blogs – including this one – for a while it is nice to see some resistance from within the ranks. This is on a few other blogs now but really needs echoing here too. An article begins: “Gordon Brown should say ‘sorry’ over economy, […]

So Who Fancies A Pint, Then?

March 9, 2009 at 11:59 am

TheEye likes to see a campaign well-run. If you want to see an organisation so unbelievably useless at running one then the irony is that its the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) who can’t organise a piss-up in a brewery. Yes, the pub-saving campaign is brought to you by the […]
