Another burst of salacious school days humour and political satirising to brighten our fortnight. This time with added references to an old-time glam-rocker.  It’s as if the puzzle was specifically constructed to someone … Read more >>

Private Eye ( Cyclops / 751 ) Hideous Ordeal

Mon May 1, 2023 at 1:13 amSat April 29, 2023 at 1:00 am by beermagnet

Private Eye blogging day to change

Mon March 13, 2023 at 11:04 am by Admin

Private Eye ( Cyclops / 747 ) Ironical reference

Mon February 27, 2023 at 6:00 am by beermagnet
