: HELLO NUMBER FOUR
Delighted by the warm response our comeback has
had & if you want to help there's one thing we
need: Facebook likes.
The reality of modern publishing is you need a
strong Facebook page to get stuff in front of
people. We used to do this via newsletter.
We're absolutely going to continue the
newsletter but we need a strong Facebook page.
Like the fuck out of it. Now.

: BYE ROGER MOORE
Three way bye-bye from everyone at b3ta
* BEST ROGER MOORE STORY YOU'LL EVER READ - It's
been a rotten week but this story about a chap
meeting Roger Moore as a child and then again as
an adult really lifted our mood and hopefully
it'll do the same for you. Thanks to Marc Haynes
for sharing.

* ROGER MOORE FLASH NOSTALGIA - Back in B3ta 55
we published Dan Chamber's Flash animation about
Roger Moore so today we got back in touch and
asked him to get it on YouTube. It's great -
double nostalgia of old B3ta and the dearly
departed Rog. And how's Dan? He's well, he's
still in animation and done loads of kids TV and
adverts in the er... last 15 or so years since
we last caught up. Yay.

* ROGER PHOTOSHOPS - Some Roger Moore tributes
from our ob3tuaries challenge. Not the best
possible taste but they were made with love.

-------------------------------------------------
: GIVE WEEBL YOUR FUCKING MONEY
Jonti Picking, of badger badger badger fame
wants your money. Patreon stuff init. He says
"Making animations is not easy, quick or cheap
so if you like what we do then your support
REALLY helps and gives us the freedom to create
the things you love, without compromising." Go
on, bung the old sausage 50p.

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
Other than making suspicious jam
* ANDREW MARR WEATHER - @area writes, "My
significant other has decreed that 'The Andrew
Marr Show' is required viewing since we started
dating. It didn't take me long to realise what
my favourite bit of it is, and as a result I've
now started a Twitter account solely to document
Andrew Marr introducing the weather forecast"
https://twitter.com/SoToTheWeather
We asked WHY they enjoyed this bit so much and
area replied, 'They're just needlessly
overwritten. He could just say "Here's Louise
with the weather", but instead he says "It's
been a rather desolate, bone-aching and frankly
soul-destroying week, meteorologically, and I
wish I could think of something good to say
about it. But I can't. Over to Louise".'
* THERESA MAY ELECTION SONG - "I made another
musical video, this time about Theresa May's
campaign strategy" writes the b3ta artist
formerly known as giant_squid. We thought we'd
hate this but it's great.
https://youtu.be/3Kjp5JxlGjs
* ELECTION POSTERS - if you hadn't noticed
there's an election on. "I been doing these
anti-tory posters writes", long term b3tan
Darren Cullen AKA Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives,
"I've been making anti-Tory propaganda you can
download and print in your home, office, or
local closed & dilapidated library."
https://www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/toriesou...
* HISTORY OF MUSIC - James Errington writes,
"I'm making a mix of music / audio for every
year since the start of sound recording. So far
I've got up to 1890."

-------------------------------------------------
* WALKERS CRISPS FUCK-UP Amazing screw up from
Walkers - they allowed unmoderated photos into
their official Twitter account and tweeting out
videos of murderers & sex offenders. And of
course we've saved the video so you can watch
coz they obviously deleted all this shit ASAP.

* BBC BROASDCAST BAD TASTE IAN BRADY RADIO QUIZ
- Make sure you listen to this radio clip as a
cheesy local radio host decided to commit career
suicide by doing a jolly music quiz about Ian
Brady. Unbelievable.
http://b3ta.com/blog/ian-brady-local-radio-quiz/
BTW: If anyone has a follow up on this story
we'd like to know. BBC apologised & Nathan
Turvey deleted account. But we're still puzzled
by it. It's been forgotten in the horror of the
week but still want to know *why* he did this.
Not outraged. Fascinated. Weird thing to do in
context of BBC local radio.
-------------------------------------------------
: REMEMBERING MUNKT0N
Old school b3tan Munkt0n of B3ta AND 4rthur fame
sadly passed on this week but it prompted B3tans
of 2003 vintage to stage a board invasion in
tribute to the lovely old chap. It's a fitting
tribute and seeing all the old names puts a lump
in our throat.
