Everyone Is Avoiding Broon But Some Of The Excuses Are Great

March 3, 2009 at 10:17 pm

What happened to that ‘Flinty Chicago Toughness’? Osama can’t be bothered to meet with the One-Eyed Scottish Idiot and blames it on snow. Apparently the six weeks of partying in the White House and destroying the economy have exhausted the Obamessiah. In January he scoffed at the lightweights in Washington […]

Random Things Costing £700,000ish

March 3, 2009 at 9:35 pm

Two items of complete and utter pointlessness on offer for the ongoing confusion of our readership. First up we have the “Hillsboro Banner” of North Dakota informing us that the Viking Bridge is to be saved. Eh? You don’t read the Banner? TheEye is shocked. We learn that “Restoration of […]

Farewell To The Rocky

March 3, 2009 at 3:14 am

Like a faithful old dog, TheEye wishes to mourn the passing of a long-time friend. Three days ago the final edition of the Rocky Mountain News gave one last update of the happenings of Denver. TheEye is much like The Croydonian…a connisewer of obscure overseas jottings and actually had this […]

It’s Either Banned Or Compulsory

March 1, 2009 at 9:34 pm

Take a look at It’s Either Banned Or Compulsory– the new blog started after a slight bit of persuasion from the G.O.T. and TheEye. EBC was bullied in to starting something because this blogless vagrant was actually really witty on other sites. At the moment that blog is only carrying […]

The UUP And The Tories Finally Work Out That They Want Similar Things

March 1, 2009 at 7:12 am

It wasn’t an accident…it was pure bias. The BBC photograph of Sir Reg Empey on the BBC website (as linked to on a post below) was intended to make him appear a used car salesman. TheEye has found a better picture via the Belfast News Letter. Also it is a […]

Join the Man-Up campaign

February 28, 2009 at 1:16 pm

At last, someone has had the scales lifted from his eyes. Over at good old Arrse.co.uk, they have finally decided that the wimp culture that women have foisted upon us “chaps” is to be resisted at all costs. It is gratifying to hear phrases such as “you need to MTFU […]

No Tea Allowed At A Tea Party

February 28, 2009 at 3:54 am

In 1773 a bunch of Boston Yanks decided to raid a perfectly legitimate trading vessel and offloaded its expensive cargo into the harbour. Shareholders were presumably not happy. This became a trigger for some further minor grumblings in the colonies, but rest assured that we will bring them back into […]

Irish IT Eyes Are Shining…On Expense Accounts

February 27, 2009 at 11:57 pm

TheEye knows a nice little earner when one appears on the horizon. Courtesy of The Croydonian we can see how Northern Ireland’s lawyers are raking it in (£98M for the Saville Inquiry and the meter still running). This is hardly news. More interesting for TheEye and his fellow cable-monkeys is […]

The Conservatives And The UUP Finally Meet At The Altar

February 27, 2009 at 5:38 am

The Ulster Unionist Party’s ruling executive met last night to give its final decisions on the details of its partnership with the Conservative Party. With only one MP, Lady Sylvia Hermon who regularly votes with Labour, you’ve got to hope that David Vance or another of this blog’s NI correspondents […]

“There Are No Atheists In Foxholes”

February 27, 2009 at 1:21 am

TheEye tends to avoid religious issues but this blog has military and political interests so this Parliamentary question is very relevant here. Baroness Warsi, Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion and Social Action, has asked a question of the Government: “To ask Her Majesty’s Government what religions and faiths are recognised […]
