# the fellow
who puts things on his rabbits head.
(I helped save b3ta! monkeon schmonkeon, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:29, archived)
# ah yes.
we could do him.

and we want MORE ideas... Don't mind if they don't do web stuff.... i.e. Davros? Clive Sinclair? Bill Drummond?

I have no idea if I could get these people to talk - but it might be a laugh giving it a go.

# I can't remember
he speaks like a dalek in it, I remember that much.
(I helped save b3ta! monkeon schmonkeon, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:58, archived)
# dunno that one.
I remember the gay daleks on Vicor Lewis Smith...TV Offal or whatever it was called.
(Nacho, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 7:05, archived)
# Hmm, did the gay daleks say
'White wee-wee!', 'white wee-wee!' a lot. If b3ta could interview them that would be good.

I've got it on video somewhere. It was the same episode as Victor L.S. trying to blame a fart on Steven Hawkin

# Ooh, ooh
How about Wilf Lunn?

I've got a book called 'Mad things to make from Vision On'.
It teaches you how to make all sorts of useless crud :)

# Yeessssss

# That is him.
He could build us something to be photoshopped. Or we could get him to build somthing practical that looked like somthing photoshopped. Or somthing like that.

# Just remembered Mr Barmy Art
He's one of the more odd people in Cambridge.

He ties things to his head and walks about with them:


I've personally seen him with a loaf of bread, a stuffed rabbit toy and a bunch of flowers tied on. He always seems to use a tie to do his tying as well.

Nicey & Wifey probably already know all about him, but for the rest of you, here is part of an interview

# he's great
he IS b3ta.
(I helped save b3ta! rob, Tue 27 Nov 2001, 6:54, archived)
# I think I have
Seen him but I didn't think that anything unusual was going on, I must of not realised it was art. There are some fabulous shouting blokes in Cambridge who march up and down all day shouting random stuff into the door of the Coop at the checkout queue and so on. One the best things I have ever seen was Most Shouting bloke talking to No2 Shouting bloke on a street corner bloke perfectly normally. It was just like the bit in The Life of Brian with the Jailer and his assistant.

Ah hah could you interview Terry Gilliam. That would be like the most ultimate thing ever ever ever. Surely he is like a B3ta deity.

# My favourite shouting bloke
is the one who shouts at cars in the town centre.

He once shouted at someone who was using a hands-free kit for their mobile. He screamed 'Why are you talking to yourself' at them

# Mad Shouting blokes are ace
There should be a nationwide contest with points awarded for unintelligableness, attire, volume, and traffic disruption.
