Ground Offensive

December 31, 2008 at 1:00 am

TheEye would like to Hat-Tip The Croydonian for a marvellous headline: Israelis consider ground offensive in Gaza As he observes…was the ground grumpy? Angry? Depressed? Vaguely not amused? Unhappy to be there? Was sea or air preferable for a sparky conversation? It’s here. TheEye suspects that Israel probably had a […]

BlogRoll Suggestion: Falling Down

December 31, 2008 at 12:14 am

TheEye has observed that a blog called Falling Down has become aware of our non-corporeal existence and has alerted his readers to this fact. This may or may not be a disturbing occurrence. The blogger, who calls himself “The Screech” is quite blunt – if you don’t like swearing then […]

The Queen’s Speech

December 29, 2008 at 6:05 am

So our Prime Mentalist intends to address his grateful nation on New Year’s Day. If TheEye had hair it would be washing it. Or something. Eyebrows maybe. We are to be told by the One Eyed Son Of The Manse that his recession will test “the character” of the British […]

Advertising Pays

December 28, 2008 at 3:34 am

There’s a great article in the Independent on Sunday (and it’s not often you get to say that) about how a 2009 general election might be fought with the campaigning advertising that will be appearing on poster sites all over the country. The paper asked half a dozen top advertising […]

Katherine Jenkins To The Rescue

December 28, 2008 at 2:48 am

Despite being a non-coporeal being, TheEye appreciates the finer things in life, and regards Katherine Jenkins as an opera singer with very fine lungs. Apparently someone called “Leona Lewis” refused to open the Phony Pharaoh’s shop this year for the start of the Harrods Winter Sale. TheEye has no idea […]

Have An Opinion? Blog!

December 27, 2008 at 9:02 am

The always indispensable Croydonian is very fond of surveys and research, and sometimes uses the Washington-based Pew Research Center for People & the Press as a source, although he hasn’t used this result (yet). He blogs rather than produces a dead-tree newsletter, which seems very sensible as the latest from […]

How To Inflame Old Tensions

December 27, 2008 at 8:28 am

In an exercise in what might be regarded as rather poor taste, Estonia has published a 2009 calendar of WW2 recruitment posters for the the 20th (1st Estonian) Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. The calendar sold out in three days and had to be reprinted. It has 12 reproductions […]

A Letter From Our Moscow Correspondent

December 26, 2008 at 5:39 pm

It would be hard to believe that most of TheEye’s regular readers are not frequent denizens of Komsomolskaya Pravda. So therefore it is only for passing blog visitors that one feels the need to relate the sorry tale (reported today) of a naked couple pulled from a freezing river after […]

Merry Christmas

December 24, 2008 at 2:33 pm

TheEye wishes his family, his friends including his fellow contributor St Crispin; and all of the readers of this site – a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year (despite the worrying omens from the economic entrails). Christmas has once again been hijacked by the Politically Correct lobby and […]
