This is the online minimal version, of what now amounts to be the
UK’s Favourite News & Current-Affairs Magazine. The
regular podcasts (Page 94) are well worth listening to, as is reading
the actual hand-held ‚fortnightly printed edition‘ too of course. I‘ve
personally been a happy regular reader & subscriber for well over 
50 years now – Hooray! Posted – 26.12.2024 – Now available instantly online, as a digital version too – Hooray! - https://pocketmags.com/quickbuy/private-eye-magazine#665f45d83a545
This is by far my most favourite German Radio Station
Deutschlandfunk Kultur > "Excellent, period"
which gets played in my house daily, and from which I
literally learn something new & interesting all the time, plus 
loads of great music as well (And all via good old steam-powered
‚100% Offline‘ means too of course, namely on 89.6 FM Germany - Nationwide).
https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive
BBC aka Auntie’s Archives, are seemingly endless – Hooray!
https://www.dw.com/en/top-stories/s-9097
The ‚Official German Government line of the day‘ can be
found here, with some really excellent World Class
Reporting (In English + 28 other languages too)
https://c.gmx.net/@678899628275400745/PwDxnemSQOXJKBPH0aOpnA
A very serious and equally interesting project I had the great honour
and privelege to work on, just a few short years ago.

Some fine World Class plays & theatre works to enjoy from
Sunny downtown LA no less.

 I first discovered ‚The Economist‘ in the early 1980‘s quite by chance, and especially the most brilliant ‚Intelligence Unit Reports‘ – The rest is simply history, period. 
 
This is my favourite EU German late-night Talk Host, namely Markus Lanz. A well respected professional investigative journalist and publisher, he regularly has very high profile international & domestic guests aux-various, on his ‚aired nationwide‘ Live Show (ZDF), where punches (rhetoricaly speaking) are seldom pulled covering many contemporary topics of great interest to all. PS: The UK audience wouldn’t find much time for him I’m sure, as he actually listens properly, and doesn’t interrupt guests every five seconds, deeming him/herself more important than them – Fancy! 
https://www.zdf.de/gesellschaft/markus-lanz & I'm also a big long-term Fan of this gentleman too

Now it actually wants money to continue, and as a Private Non-Commercial ‘FUN’ user it’d be pretty daft to trust them for not doing exactly the same thing on an even dafter whim again too. It does actually seem to be rapidly morphing into an all-paying private Very Right-Wing Club though, just like his bigly daft chum Donald’s, laughably named truthless social (Posted- 26.08.24) - New Account November 25, Just For Some Blog Advertizing - While It Still Lasts Naturally?  Locked Out once again on 01.03.26 - So I must be doing something right then -eh?

Posted – 06.06.2024 - My first ever Eye Letter (to be actually published) way way back in June 2015 (issue 1393). I’m quite sure that the next up and coming Third Country British general election, will be far more professionally covered by HM Gutter Press & Co? - Hooray!

Obviously some great names like, Ronnie Barker, Barbara Windsor, Roy Kinnear, George Cole, Sid James, David Jason, etc, etc, etc??? could do it far, far, greater justice of course – Honnist! 

PPS: The snooty colonel could well be envisaged by the likes of John Cleese, Hatty Jaques, Stephen Fry, Penelope Keith, or even Arthur Lowe no less too, I tally. I’m sure AI will solve future such quandries in a jiffy, let’s face it, what they’ve never had, they’ll never miss – Cripes!

 I fondly recall Mrs Chaudhry (Ceylonese Muslim), who taught us A Level English in 1970's East London/Essex, headscarf and all (never a dicky bird said either). I look on from here in Sunny EU Berlin and see all the great EU Teaching, etc, etc, talent that has been ousted from Third Country  Britain via the great ignorant racist stupidity of Brexit.


Just about as good as it gets Folks

So who knew Grand Master?


Posted – 11.07.24: Here in Sunny EU Berlin/Germany, we’re all very proud to be an integral part of this fantastic ‚fit for purpose‘ ESA Project. We will also soon be getting additional ‚temporary‘ US Nuclear Missiles on our soil as well, but that’s another story entirely

Posted Friday the 12th of July - Here in Sunny EU Berlin, we much look forward to Sunday’s Euro Final. If Ingerlund win, it’ll be their first International Trophy since way back in the days of World Cup Willy and Wemberlee 1966. PS: At least there won’t be a nasty Russian ref/linesman this time either – Hooray!

Amusing Fact from here in Sunny EU Berlin: Cpl Carpetchewer aka Adolf Hitler, actually had a problem in 1932 getting a, er, German Passport/ID Card. This Austrian foreigner had been jailed and had caused much ado, the Thüringen authorities in Erfurt didn’t take to him very kindly, Fancy! PS: As mentioned late last night on mainstream EU German Public TV, by a well-respected ex-Home Secretary/Interior Minister, with two highly eminent constitutional law professors, also both nodding in agreement.

 We’ve all heard of the Sex Pistols (ad nausem in finitum) Punk being a UK invention as such. Not many of the British Pioneering Girl Punk Bands at the time ever come to mind these days though, but in reality their influence had a profoundly positive effect on future girls and women being ‚Free‘ and able to do exactly the same as their male counterparts in many walks of life – Fancy!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Raincoats 1970‘s - Hornsey College of Art being the base of their initial stage debuts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Ray_Spex Indeed a next progression of Female Punk with Poly Styrene & Co, also getting well known by touring with the likes of The Clash, etc.

https://www.amazon.com/Typical-Girls-Zoe-Street-Howe/dp/1847727808 The Many faces of The Slits – Hooray!

https://www.tapeterecords.de/artists/hans-a-plast This fairly unusal German Girl Punk Band at the time also got very much into the 1970‘s Zeitgeist, it really must be remembered that most women weren’t actually allowed to do anything at all, without their husband's (or father’s) consent – Cripes!

Posted – 20.09.24 – Unfortunately this is not new news for me personally, and I’m just so very glad that this country (as well as many other EU Member-states) stepped right up to the old mark very swiftly. To protect the rights of UK citizens living within their various midsts – Not to mention aleviating the terrible ‚not-knowing‘ stress it caused so very many families as well of course.

So what odds would a proper kosher (sic) ‚Bookie‘ give Today, for an England – German (unified) Final then? Exactly 60 years after the West-Germany Wemberlee defeat, this one could well sport two brilliant German Head Coaches on each side (one being Jürgen Klopp no less) as well. Other Gambling niceties, could include, betting on a 4-2 Win (for either side) as well as guessing the nationality of the Ref/Linesman – Smart money says there wont be any Russians on the field – Hooray!

Posted – 20.12.24 – Although fairly tricky to pay bills in the UK from Sunny EU Berlin, even in EU times (without direct-transfer or plastic) it wasn’t impossible, though always very long queues to enjoy. Today one can only pay online with plastic, and although (in this case, no IBAN) the magazine is still below 3 quid a fortnight (cover price) the postage from Third Country Britain has sky-rocketed. My current annual subscription is now the same as for those ever-mindful readers way down in Australia and thereabouts – Fancy! „Hooray for Freedom!“

For many, many, decades now, The U.S. has (unanimously) sent circa $1billion (at today’s rates) annually, to both Israel & Egypt to help ensure some semblence of stability (sic) in the region. This ‚Aid‘ was agreed by all political sides, and is now almost enshrined into Bi-Partisan US Law. Mr. Orange’s pathetic continual manic striving for clicks and attention, will in this case I fear, be very difficult to pull the con, as he’ll be, de facto swearing blind to his own people, plugging a situation that quite obviously simply isn’t the case (so what’s new there then?).

It’s significance today is really quite remarkable, many things are so very spot on the ball. Orwell wrote it in 1947, though some, (myself included) had also read Jack London’s ‚Iron Heel‘ (written pre- WW1 in 1908) which is very much on the old later ball too. I well recall living here in Sunny EU Berlin (then Occupied West Berlin of course) in Cold-War 1984 as well, the irony was quite a daily ‚pre-occupying thought‘ as it happens (well for me at least) - 1984

Posted – 06.12.25 x 2 – PS: The above letter was sent by email on 02.12.25, whether it actually gets published or not is neither here nor there, the substance of it, is a subject very close to my heart - Far too few proper reports post-Brexit, have shown any sympathy / empathy at all at all, towards the many millions of UK & EU Citizens (and their now often defunct business’) that have been adversely affected, by those ‚clueless racist fools‘ (a large percentage already long gone).

 Posted - 29.01.26 – One fine day, about three-quarters of the way through last century, young Eve and I were happily playing with each other „Pardon!“ at the base of Wren’s Magical Dome, quietly sending sweet-nothing-sms’s along the walls of his famous whispering gallery. The whole place was quite empty, (and it wasn’t even a Sunday) a day indeed to be remembered. Fast-Forward now some 50 years (till yesterday) and the very same venue was host to the very first female Archbishop of Canterbury being sworn into office – Fancy! Male indiscretions once again forced God’s Hand and as a damage-limitation-excercise this Lady was duly installed PS: Augustine of Canterbury (early 6th century – most likely 26 May 604) was a Christian monk who became the first archbishop of Canterbury in the year 597.
