Is the word Golliwog offensive?

February 4, 2009 at 10:21 am

Carol Thatcher has used the word golliwog in private in the green room whilst waiting to go on a programme. OMG!!! Hang her high!! I suspect this an element of the BBC with the knives out for anyone with the name Thatcher. It should have been dealt with internally, rather […]

Avoid JD Wetherspoon

February 3, 2009 at 2:24 am

TheEye hates passing on second-hand work, and therefore detests doing it for two posts in a row. However sometimes it is necessary. Always have The Lone Voice on your blogroll. He’s got a bit of a thing going about the awful JD Wetherspoon and by all accounts it’s thoroughly well […]

Brown Is An Embarrasment (Pt 102)

February 2, 2009 at 10:56 pm

Never dispense with a daily check of The Croydonian, and this post particularly appeals to our blog which has a proud military slant. The Union Flag should never be improperly flown. Not just on a Destroyer, not on a tank, not on the 11th Hour – not at any time. […]

Texas To Review Official State Dinosaur

February 2, 2009 at 8:25 pm

You’ve got to love this story…there’s a global financial disaster going on, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, hurricane damage, a budget deficit – the list is huge – but there is a bigger crisis lurking beneath our radar. Far more worrying. Yes, the State Legislature for Texas is going to […]

Kill Someone With Your iPod…Really

February 1, 2009 at 3:38 am

Due to being slightly nervous that St Crispin, who has fired a substantial gun or two in his time – and still does – might have lost the plot with his post below (personally TheEye hates dreams involving gun rampages because you always wake up before you kill the last […]

The Screw Guns

Screw-Guns Smokin’ my pipe on the mountings, sniffin’ the mornin’ cool,I walks in my old brown gaiters along o’ my old brown mule,With seventy gunners be’ind me, an’ never a beggar forgetsIt’s only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets — ‘Tss! ‘Tss! For you all […]

The Bearded Wonder Is No More

January 30, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Once a player at a reasonable level and as an ongoing keen follower of cricket, TheEye was shocked and stunned to hear today of the death of Bearders. The Bearded Wonder, as he was known, was the number-cruncher extraordinaire. The statisticians statistician. Bill Frindall died aged 69 after contracting Legionnaire’s […]

The BBC Shills For Brown Yet Again

January 29, 2009 at 4:03 pm

To anyone who thinks that there is no bias in the BBC – what planet are you living on? Remember that The One Eyed Son Of The Manse blagged at PMQ’s that the IMF hadn’t said that the UK is the worst-prepared economy in the world for recession and denied […]

“Prof Emeritus” TheEye Wishes To Make A Booking

January 28, 2009 at 7:37 pm

Found via The Poor Little Greek Boy and well worth sharing. Every had to register for something on a website? Of course you have. The “Title” dropdown is always Mr, Mrs, Miss and this strange ‘Ms’ thing which TheEye thinks is just a misspelling. ‘Doctor’ might creep in there too […]

The case of the vanishing ships

January 28, 2009 at 1:09 pm

St. C has just returned from an interesting trip to Gibraltar, land of “The Eye”. The trip across The Bay was emotional to say the least. The drinking in the town bar was even more upsetting! The crossing was done in a venerable Type 42 frigate named after Scotland’s Capital […]
