How goes the fundraising?

How are we doing on the "Save b3ta" fund? How much do you guys need for the server space / bandwidth anyway?

(pissycocks GIRAFFETASTIC!, Sun 17 Mar 2002, 7:36, archived)

Just sent

an email out across to a few mates of mine! I did however give a little porky on there. I said I've donated £10 to the cause and I hadn't by that point, now Paypal won't let me do it!! Maaaargh I've sent them a pooey email and told them I work for a bigger company than them. And my dad is bigger than theirs too.

my mate's a taekwondo grand master.

he made a superb generic bloke comment on friday night. he was talking about some really big muscly guy, arms the size of tree-trunks etc. of course, he ended the description with "i still could've kicked his arse."

so paypal- watch it!

I just told them

that I work in customer services and this is not the first time I've heard of this, but to happen to ME, I was well hacked off.
gave them my direct number at work if they've got anything to say for themselves. I think I put something like
"As you make it completely impossible for the customer to contact you directly, I am sending this email (btw 700 words is not enough to tell you how unprofessional you have been) my direct number at work is (+44) 1273 576111 ext ***** and I am expecting your call within a reasonable 24 hour time frame. You may leave a message if I am not at my desk. Failure to do so may result in **** UK withdrawing their agreement with PayPal."
Something like that, but I am soooo hacked off, as they say they are going to print the code on the statement, but didn't so I delved in to the mainframe here and guess what? Not bloody there either. Hence my rant. I was to give some funds to B3ta, but have no funds in the bank, so credit card it is!!
Marvellous.

god said anyone that donates will be in the front of the queue on the day of judgement, with their name on the guest list. He told my friend. She's a vicar.

BTW there's a bloke buried upside down on the sussex downs - he's buried that way so on the day of judgement he'll be the right way up to meet the lord. Which is handy.

Dead bunnies show is a go, despite protests from Winnipeggers

WINNIPEG - Health inspectors in Winnipeg have given the go-ahead to a local exhibition involving decomposing rabbits.

It's the work of the Winnipeg artist, Diana Thorneycroft. The exhibition is called Monstrance. In the exhibit, Thorneycroft has suspended the carcasses of a dozen dead bunnies in a neighbourhood wood where they are being infested by maggots and allowed to rot.

The exhibition does not open officially until Friday, but advance word of its contents was enough to generate calls from outraged citizens.

Thorneycroft says she's celebrating what she calls the "gloriousness of putrefaction."

"All of us are moving toward death and dust," she says. "A lot of people won't acknowledge that".

Joel Kettner was one of two inspectors asked to scrutinize the exhibit for potential harm to humans. Although he says the show can go ahead he's laid down four conditions: no unsupervised kids; Thorneycroft must erect signs to keep people from touching the exhibit; the exhibit must be cordoned off and clearly labelled as an art exhibit; and a walkway deemed too close to the Red River must be moved.

The exhibit has a second component involving 23 toy bunnies, which will be mounted in an indoor gallery.

Thorneycroft has shaved the fur from the stuffed bunnies and inserted bits of the dead rabbits into the toys' chest cavities. She has also inserted small relics of her own photographic work, mounted on blocks of wood, inside the real carcasses.

As the rabbit flesh decomposes, the relics will be exposed –thus the title Monstrance, which is a transparent receptacle used by the Catholic Church to display sacred objects.

actually we are

bandwidth refers to the width of the page, which is why rob is always moaning about people's images being too wide. the wider the page, the harder it is to fit down the telephone wire, and the more money is required to pay the elves who squeeze the pages down little and push them in the wires.

suggest you rhyme all your journalistic output,

it'll create a stir if nothing else.

only reason homework's not real work is you don't get paid for it! it's alright- it's reduced itself to a tedious exercise in repetition, and i'm good at those.
