Globaleyes Italian woman sues Berlusconi for being a FAT LYING BASTARD

Globaleyes The Blind feeding the Blind
A new restaurant will be opening soon in London. And the uber-funky, 10 out of 10 on a total-trendy-London-cunt hook? That's right, the staff are blind and will bring you your food in the dark. "Edouard de Broglie is...

Globaleyes September 11th Black Boxes found
Found? Well, not so much found as revealed. The 9/11 atrocities were always going to be rich material for conspiracy theorists - what with the almost supernatural manner of the attacks, the endless blame-game and the US governments's rather...

The Blog Snorkeller Happy birthday 2RN
January 1st was the 80th anniversary of Irish radio (as in State radio, because they don't count the broadcast by the rebels in the Easter Rising). The station was called 2RN. Why 2RN? Well, John Bowman's archive show - which...
