ANYWAY, have fun.]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1855 B3ta newsletter 408, out now - this week featuring the latest work from Cassetteboy, your chance to win a book about stuff that looks like cocks and unlike last week we've remembered to write-up the Question of the Week. And on time too. Normally shitty service will resume shortly.]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1854 Sickipedia Comedy Night 2.0 - tonight! I'm recovering from man-flu which has now mutated into an upset stomach. So I'm totally prepared for this. Please come - if only to see me collapse in a pile of my own poo. - It's done! People came. A good time as had by all. Huzzah.]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1853 B3ta newsletter 407 - extremely late newsletter as I did a 5 min talk at the UK Webbies thing. Was very nervous about doing it, so once done, I consumed all the free booze in the building and now I'm ill. Still, the links are good.]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1852 B3ta newsletter 406, out now. Full of the good stuff this week, Dan Bull's open letter to Peter Mandelson, Cheespedia (it's like Sickipedia but about cheese) and some guy who drinks 100 shots. All harmless fun and ideal for kids too.]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1851 Sickipeda Comedy Night 2.0, 9th Dec 2009, Old Blue Last. If you want to try your hand at stand up comedy then get in touch ASAP. ]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1850 B3ta newsletter 405, out now - it's got a great song from Joel about Ben Goldacre, I'm personally loving the cut out and keep image challenge and some really, really dreadful attempts at jokes. Sorry.]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1849 b3ta newsletter 404 - we couldn't quite bring ourselves to do the file not found gag as at least 50 people suggested we did, but 404 fans we DID use it for the subject title. Also worth checking Joel's bucket of shit song - I promise you - the events of this week feel exactly like carrying a bucket of shit around everywhere I go. Woo hoo - see you next week kids!]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1848 Sickipedia comedy night, tonight at 8pm - details on the flyer. About 12 or so new comics will be trying their hand at stand-up. Should be interesting. - thanks to everyone who turned up and made a success of this night. It was absolutely rammed and I think a great time was had by all. Special mention to Mushybees whose act was extraordinary and deserves much more exposure and also Richard Tyrone Jones who was brilliant. Richard also has a book out I think I remember telling him I'd try and make people buy it - so here goes buy this man's book, he's a funny chap. Thanks to everyone else too. ]]> http://www.b3ta.com/weblog/56/#post1847 B3ta newsletter 403, out now - actually sent vaguely on time for once. A number of reasons 1. Very busy with real work so I've had to plan my time carefully this week - ironic that being busy makes me more efficient and 2. The ad sales on the newsletter have been shite recently but this week we had a proper paid client so thought I owed it to them not to get it out at 7:30pm. Anyway, good week editorially I think. Stuff on Richard Dawkins, lots of fluffy pics and the YouTube crossfader which is genius on a stick. Toodle-pip and I'll go back to editing kittens - see you soon!]]>
