There is more to Filey than people drawing their last breath. Although, that is the most popular pastime in this elegant seaside Town, where Yorkshire people go to die. Even the seagulls have blue rinses.
It can get hectic though, especially in the summer months hours. Then Filey comes to life with the sound of […]

Browsing the old log files can be an illuminating experience. Looking to see what brings you all to Blighty, where you came from and how many seconds you stay before getting utterly bored by all this nonsense and bugger off to find something informative to read. Currently Blighty is being inundated with curious souls looking […]

Political analysts are getting their notepads in a twist about the contradictory messages emanating from recent polls. They are indicating anything from a massive drubbing for the Conservatives by Labour to a modest sized drubbing for the Conservatives by Labour. The Sunday Torygraph yesterday (being Sunday and all that) gave Labour their biggest lead yet […]

The Guardian are getting all excited about a tattooed ex-biker from Bradford being shortlisted for the Orange Prize For Fiction. Joolz Denby obviously isn’t the type of ‘chic’ they expect to know how to spell literature. We’re not sure if its the tattoos, the bike or being from Bradford that causes such surprise.

It’s that day in the calendar when all good Britons take to the streets dressed as various kinds of fruit and have cardiac arrests live on TV. Yes, it’s the London Marathon again. A day when people with no sense of humour can claim one by wearing something idiotic for charity. (Cynical old git - […]

Blighty thought we’d address those readers living outside of the UK today. So, ‘Oi, you living outside the UK today, do you always live outside the UK, or is it just today you’re not here?

Another day another diatribe about immigration, asylum seekers, travellers and political correctness (all together now) GONE MAAAAD! from Michael Howard. Are the tories a single issue party nowadays? Giving minorities a kicking is obviously Howard’s top priority. Tighten up on immigration, chuck travellers into the streets, allow Bernard Manning back on the TV and everything […]

Drum roll please! Finally cleaned of baby sick, the Lib Dem manifesto is now in the public domain. Charles Kennedy announced the document launch from deep inside the New Forest, betraying his lack of marketing nous. The journos who did manage to find him, camped out in a clearing heating up a tin of baked […]

Out-grown your home? Feeling hemmed in by those four walls? Why not buy an island in Dorset? £2.5 million for Green Island in Poole Harbour doesn’t seem half bad. In certain parts of London that would buy you a one bedroom cellar flat with communal loo. And if that seems a bit too much to […]

With Charlie Kennedy preoccupied changing nappies, Lord Shirley Williams of Crosby, Stills and Nash was on Radio Five Live this afternoon illustrating once again how the Lib Dems are different from the other dishonest, obsequious politicians in Electionland. She’s a great sports fan, Shirley. When talking about her Merseyside constituency she said that she thinks […]
