: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
  Other than choosing which sauce for rat

  >> What did you want to be before you grew up? << 
  Matt Round is asking for help and says, "I
  might do a thing about the jobs we wanted as
  kids vs what we ended up doing, but I’ll need
  a LOT of survey responses to even consider it.
  Only 3 quick questions & it’s anonymous,
  please fill it in & RT this"

  >> Buy Ashens' Movie <<
  Ashens movie "Ashens and the Polybius Heist"
  is out and proving a hit - you can download it
  via Amazon and YouTube. If you squint you
  might spot the editor of this very newsletter
  making a tiny cameo at the end.

  >> Win a book <<
  Chris Barker is doing a give away for his book
  of Newspaper covers. Complete with a foreword
  written by the most centrist dad of them all,
  and founder of the soup dynasty, Alistair
  Campbell.

: FESSHOLE
  Your confessions, fessed up for cheap shares
  
  Each week we ask you to spit your lies into a
  box and publish the ones that either make us
  laugh or boggle:

  * "Every night at 9pm, my cat sits in my spot
  on the couch in front of the TV. I put on a
  wildlife show for her to watch till she falls
  asleep. It's our little thing at the end of
  each day."

  * "My brother split up with his girlfriend,
  and removed her from the family WhatsApp. But
  we all really like her, so we created a new
  group with her, but without him. This has now
  become the main family WhatsApp."

  * "Mum's fiancé reacted to me coming out by
  saying "you can't bring some puff to the
  wedding". Well the joke's on you, Chris,
  because it's your son I've been seeing for the
  last 6 months."

  Join the 97,0000 (holy shit!) arseholes who've
  typed over a 1.2 million words into a tiny
  Google form. Link goes to the best of October
  so share it for greatness.

: BUY A SWEARY SCARF YOU SEXY PEOPLE
  Gazooks! A scarf that swears!

  Hebtro are now selling scarfs with swearing on
  them, buy them or indeed buy their "action
  blankets" which are basically ponchos with
  branding that made our kids go "Dad you're
  wearing a poncho you wanker" and we replied
  "you can take the piss when a clothes company
  sends YOU free clothes like you're an
  instagram influencer you little shits"

: SITES IN BRIEF
  Stuff made by other people using their thumbs

  *  SPREADSHEET CLOCK - A working digital clock
  using Google Sheets conditional formatting and
  regex. Next week - a barometer made out of a
  Lotus 1-2-3 database.
https://rebrand.ly/sheets-digital-clock

  * WHO IS STREAMING NEAR YOU? Find people who
  are streaming to absolutely no one. Don't
  laugh at them, as this is the modern
  equivalent of practising guitar in your
  bedroom and dreaming about Wembley Stadium. 
https://nobody.live/

  * THE ONGOING SCAM OF PRINTER INK - our cheapo
  tip to run a printer is don't. Really, just go
  to a print-shop if you need anything in colour
  and run a cheapo black and white laserjet at
  home - also ideal for printing out ascii porn
  for a 1980s style wank.
https://pluralistic.net/2020/11/06/horrible-produc...#inkwars

  * TEMPLATES FOR BOXES - are you short of boxes
  in your life? Then print out these boxes and
  make your own, and simulate what it's like
  living as someone who orders lots of boxes
  from Amazon. Live the dream you shits.
https://templatemaker.nl/en/

  * READ TWITTER LIKE A CENTRIST MUM - This is a
  nice way of finding out what political bores
  of all persuasions are currently yacking on
  about without having to follow any of them.
  Bookmark this, then block them all, the
  political tits.
https://socialbubble.so

  * GUESS MUSIC TRENDS GAME - quite enjoyed this
  format where you have to draw a graph to guess
  how MP3 sales (etc) have fared through the
  years. Basically everything being quite lively
  years ago and then sinking in the last few
  years reminds us of our penis.
