Threats

June 7, 2011 at 12:11 am

It’s been one of those days. Oh yes. So watching this again was about the only way to relax. One Hundred top movie insults – just about all of them with a very bad language warning. Not safe for the office, polite company or anywhere near pets 🙂 If that […]

A Seafaring Nation?

June 6, 2011 at 9:37 am

It seems that the country of Nelson and Drake is busy doing what it does best – forgetting our history. From the Coventry Telegraph, and probably elsewhere: A QUARTER of children say Captain Jack Sparrow is Britain’s most famous seaman. That’s according to a new survey which puts our knowledge of […]

Cuts? Really?

June 2, 2011 at 11:02 pm

The public sector is in desperate need of cutting. There are two ways now emerging to approach this – to recognise the reality and begin to roll back the fat in a controlled way; or to adopt the approach of some socialist councils. Take the axe to heart-wringing cases and […]

June 2, 2011 at 6:37 pm

Question Time comes tonight from Glyndwr University’s William Aston Hall in Wrexham. It is represented at Westminster by Ian Lucas MP (Labour) and was the birthplace of Sir Foster Cunliffe, founder of the Royal Society of British Bowmen. Really. That’s about as interesting as it gets. Oh, and the local […]

Self-Defence

June 1, 2011 at 9:00 am

You wonder how his brief kept a straight face: A man accused of relieving himself on a station platform has denied he acted illegally because he was ‘urinating in self-defence’. Michael Jones, 50, allegedly attacked a police officer who tried to tell him off at Waterloo railway station, south London, […]

Parish News: Gibraltar Dockyard On Fire (Pt2)

May 31, 2011 at 10:21 pm

Live and burning on the Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation right now! Compete with BFBS/Radio Gibraltar playing their usual late night selections from the 1980’s as an into-the-night overlay. Surreal. The first tank has now collapsed, the second is on fire and a third is being dowsed with water to keep it […]

Parish News: Gibraltar Dockyard On Fire

May 31, 2011 at 2:54 pm

Parish news maybe, but a major explosion where TheEye lives on the North Mole in Gibraltar. That’s the cruise liner Independence Of The Seas in the background. She has moved to the eastern side of the Rock now. (Luckily Dioclese is cruising the other end of the Med) As we have […]

Muslim Inventions

May 30, 2011 at 12:59 pm

The State Department in the US has a “1001 Muslim Inventions” program dedicated to praising the supposedly wonderful inventions by Muslims that make our everyday lives oh-so-much easier. In the introduction to a video released last week, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton goes utterly overboard in the introduction: I […]
