Monkey Magic

Not wanting to copy (I was going to say 'ape') the legendary Monkey News, but here are a few simian related items you may find amusing:

• PG Tips Monkey 'beanie': Has to be the hottest freebie, to be found attached to the side of boxes of teabags. Spotted in Tesco, and probably 'in all good supermarkets...' etc. Seen the new ads here, and you can find the original ITV Digital ads on YouTube - if you thought they were funny. Not to be confused with Flat Eric;


• Shocking Monkey Mixes: Peter 'Lawnmower Head' Gabriel's website has been inviting people to remix music on his RealWorld label, including his very own 80's hit 'Shock the Monkey'. Loads of great interpretations, showing a great sense of imagination, skill and humour. Try this, this and this.


• Weird Website: Not sure if http://www.himonkey.net/ is trying to be ironic or is simply a bit sad. Have a look for yourself (I think it looks more like a polar bear myself).


• The Nature of Monkey was Irrepressible!: For those that remember Monkey - the original 70s show - take a trip back down memory lane...
