A pair of very smart spectacles
April 29, 2009 – 3:31 pm
Ordered a pair of spectacles on Ebay. They were meant to look like Elvis Costello meets Janine Haines, sans perm. Or this. Or maybe even this.
They don’t.
They look like Stuart Littlemore with a hint of Jenny Kee.
So they’ve gone straight to the pool room. The Crikey pool room consists of a shelf full of [...]

When we talk about “stuff we like”, it’s as if the Crikey Team moves borg-like, with a universal opinion about what is amusing and what is cool. Not so.
Stuff we like: Home funerals and feminist weddings
April 28, 2009 – 12:47 pm
Good things to read and look at today:
We’re all Trekkies now. Star Trek is cool again (again?), according to, uh, Newsweek (those well-known arbiters of all that is hip. Ah well). There’s some tenuous Obama-administration link in there, too. Apparently the new film is pretty good, though.
Play with your food. Food art!
Sci-Fi, black and white. [...]
Stuff we like: MORE Hairy Angel and lots of stuff about food
April 27, 2009 – 11:57 am
Stuff we like today:
Fast food reality. Pictures of real fast food products compared with how they’re shown in ads. Ew.
The best-selling beer in the world. Ever knocked back an icy-cold can of Snow beer? No? Believe it or not, this Chinese lager is the best-selling beer in the world, recently knocking Bud off the top [...]

But this treat may soon be a thing of the past with news this afternoon that Arnott’s Biscuits have issued [...]
The fabulous Friday trash wrap: Denise Richards’ fun bags and Jade Goody: The Musical
April 24, 2009 – 12:25 pm
All the trash that’s fit to print:
Hairy Angel HAS been kissed. It was all a lie! Britain’s Got Talent breakout Susan “Hairy Angel” Boyle says her claims to have never been kissed were a “joke”. Lame. Meanwhile, some columnists are calling shenanigans on the whole “ugly duckling” story. Come on guys: she IS ugly — [...]
Stuff we like: What’s in a name?
April 23, 2009 – 11:11 am
Times Online nominates the weirdest girl’s name ever. Just one of the things we’re chatting about in the Crikey office today.
Israel/Palestine cage match

Stuff we like: pet travel and cosmic grammar
