# Help us choose the new Question of the Week
We've gone a bit flippy this week and have six to choose from. CHOOSE WELL:

- Messing with people's heads

- Volunteering: Ever volunteered for something? Ever been volunteered?

- The Onosecond II: A reprise of one of our favourites - that dreadful second between clicking send on an email or text, and the realisation that you've called your boss a twat, or sent a detailed description of your dwarf fetish to your mother. Now - we expect - with auto-correct goodness

- Worst Parties: Because their ain't no party like an S Club party

- Boats and Water

- Cunty: Rob's idea. What the cuntiest thing you've ever done or had done to you?

# TJ andybody know if Ben Goldacre has a b3ta account, and if he checks it at all?
Need to contact him and rather than go through 3rd parties thought I'd check if he's on here first.

# Strangely enough it's Ben Goldacre
Edit, might be Dr Ben.
He can be contacted through Skeptics in the Pub, if you can't get hold of him that way I should be able to get his email address

# he has
but I don't think he uses it often.

He's on twitter a lot.

# Ta - looking at more than 140chrs though. I'll send him a gaz and then try and flag it up with him on twitter.
If you could drop him a line as well that would be appreciated since he'll probably notice it more if it comes from you.

# ^this
it's generally quite easy to get in touch with people by putting their first name in front of their website URL even if the address isn't listed on their site.

# Good luck
He appears to be a phenomenally busy man

# Yes, but he can fit in a great deal
because he talks so fast!

# I realise this, but it's on a subject that is quite close to his professional interest so hope that he might take note.
Have sacked the twitter/gaz combo and opted for contacting him via the badscience route.

# by the way
he's posted that email address on b3ta, so seems perfectly reasonable to use it
