So after a lot of posturing and hand-wringing, he’s finally done it. Florida Pastor Terry Jones has burned that Koran. And he had the cameras on hand to record it. Ironically it comes at the same time as a judge in Tampa has ordered sharia law, not US law, to […]
Here’s one for the splendid Captain Haddock to investigate and report back on for us all. Are you a sea captain in need of close companionship? Are you a landlubber who craves the crustiness of a grizzled old sailor? Well, there’s a website devoted to your needs. A dating website […]

In case you’re in the office today and the person sitting next to you – that one with the really irritating habits – is pushing you just that little too far today…you’re not alone. From the previous week alone we’ve got a splendid roundup of people randomly snapping: Police in […]
It’s a period of lazy-ish blogging, possibly, but TheEye is finally catching up with stuff….just in time for a week-long training course starting in a few hours. Sigh. There is no mercy, it seems. At least, as bad as this week promises to be, it’s not as bad as that […]
