Cheeky Dutchman Gijs Gieskes is now shipping his homemade Gameboy bricks worldwide at €31,30 a pop with free worldwide shipping.

Unsold copies of notorious pop mongrel Robbie Williams‘ latest album Rudebox are to be recycled and used to surface roads in China.

On the one hand, I pity Robbie; he’s received a resounding thumbs down from the public, who’ve chosen not to invest his latest creative endeavour. However, one must give credit to EMI for their clever (and very PR-worthy!) recycling initiative.

The University of Victoria has posted a nice set of images from a set of two WWI sketchbooks in its archive.

We’ve just launched the official Jonathan Ansell website to coincide with the release of his debut album.

No office can function without copious amounts of tea. Water is good for washing your car and flushing the toilet, but at the end of the day, when you need a drink that you can depend on, tea is the drink that delivers.

In an effort to maximise our tea consumption, we invested in a teapot over the weekend. After extensive research, we opted for a 2.2 litre enamel model in antique piss yellow. Expectations were high: could the £5.99 tea weapon really change our lives?…

The answer is an emphatic YES!

Capacity: 10/10 - with reckless over-filling it can deliver 5 generous mugs of piping hot tea.
Safety: 2/10 - the exterior gets rather hot; the lid is a real scalding threat.
Pouring: 10/10 - dispensing tea doesn’t get better than this - smooth, non-drip action, a delight to behold.
Design: 7/10 - traditional, solid, reliable, and, most importantly, non-threatening.
Cleaning: 9/10 - easily rinsed and de-bagged via the big hole in the top - genius!
Value: 10/10 - it paid for itself on its debut - what more can you ask for?

Summary

If you like tea, don’t miss this!

Tata Motors have announced the world’s cheapest production car, the Nano, priced at an astonishing $2,500 USD (approx. £1,250). Dubbed “The People’s Car”, the Nano achieves an impressive 50mpg and carries up to four passengers with limited comfort and style.

In other news: Tata are rumoured to be considering a bid for Jaguar, the world’s greatest ever car manufacturer bar none. If they do take ownership of the legendary marque, here’s hoping they maintain Jaguar’s core brand values: danger, speed, exhaust fumes, maximum fuel consumption, wood and leather.

Apple have consistently rubbished the rumoured iBeardTouch, the combined phone, music player, web browser and beard maintenance wonder-gadget. “It simply does not exist - the whole idea is pure fantasy,” barked Dave Satsuma, Chief of Male Grooming Technology at Apple. However, the following image, leaked to undercover barbers in the Los Angeles underground, suggests the incredible device may actually exist!

“Picture the scene: you’re on the train, listening to Slade, chatting on the phone to your mistress, whilst trimming your precious face blanket - genius!” enthused Alan Key, barber to the stars. “This will make the lawnmower redundant!”

If you have a penchant for baggy trousers and elaborate dance moves, you’re pretty much guaranteed to enjoy DanceJam, MC Hammer’s new website, which is due to leave beta later this month. The site aims to become the definitive resource for watching and sharing dance videos; clearly, there is such a gaping, abyss-like gap in the market that they are sure to reap fortunes beyond their wildest hip-hop dreams.

“There is no high-tech lingo or business strategy that you can talk that is above my head,” boasted Hammer, during a recent interview. Now there’s a challenge…
