Have you been to a facebook party? - my wife is researching a TV documentary about that Facebook party stuff that was all over the tabloids recently. You know, where people stick up some party details on Facebook and then 100s of random people turn up. She's looking for people who've had this happen to them or have been to such events so she can stick them on TV. If this sounds like you then email her on lucy_reese33 AT yahoo.co.uk

B3ta newsletter 395, one small problem with the newsletter is that I'm always pooped for words when it comes to blogging it on the front page. I know the right things to do is to mention the stuff inside it - thereby entice you to click. But as I said, pooped.

Operation: Help Cr3 - Cr3 (known to his mum as Paul Curry) is one of the lovely chaps who helps with the code on b3ta and he's run up a debt of about £350 from the costs involved in running is MP3 search website. Paul is 20 years old and just moved house to London with his girlfriend and every penny he earns in his day job goes on his living expenses. He needs our help to clear his debt. I've personally bunged £50 into his paypay account, and I don't expect you to be quite so generous, but if lots of you could throw in a few quid then it'll make the difference between Paul slipping into debt or not. Please help. Paypay details on his site. UPDATE: We've hit £353.53 in 30 minutes of donations, thanks people. Cr3 is saved and I personally love, LOVE you all. You beautiful people.

Buy the U.S edition of the Sick Joke Book - about a year ago a publisher got in touch asking to republish the joke book in America - largely for the book club market. A side effect of this, is that it's now available for the first time on Amazon.com. However they've changed the title (which I quite like) and the cover (not so sure about.) Anyway, it's all a bit odd writing this up as I haven't even seen a real copy, and only know that it's finally for sale because it came up in a Google search. But there you go. Buy it, America. Buy it now.
