Tea’ Robot Stalker
noun., tea·mer·gen·cy - An event calling for the immediate dispersal of tea. This little fella' is stalking me and reading my tweets. Especially when they contain the word 'Tea' or the hashtag '#teamergency'. Who is he? Well, his name is 'Tea Robot' and he browses Twitter looking for mentions of his favourite drink. Plus, he works for Direct Line, helping people out of the problems of day to day life.

Pretty astounding, I think you'll agree. I think the strangest bit is that Jake Huey, the worker, decided to retrieve it from the plant and pop it into a tank. Bonkers. What is not so crazy is this. Remember Prefab Sprout, the new wave band from Durham...

Sugababes – ‘Get Sexy’ – Yay, or Nay?
Surely you've heard it on your reliable commercial radio station, or on the late night playlist of MTV, when music is actually played, but 'Get Sexy' is the new song from Sugababes. Using samples from loads of tracks- seriously- it's either going to be huge, or a flop. What do you think? Yay or Nay? Sugababes - Get Sexy on MUZU. photo credit: jaimelondonboy...
