: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
  Other than making "brown sausages for Mr Flush"

  >> ButtyStock: No 1 Crisp Sandwich Photo Site <<
  Carbohydrate enthusiast Matt Round writes, "I
  hired several people to each produce around 100
  photos of crisp sandwiches, paying them with
  hundreds of bags of crisps. Some fell by the
  wayside under the weight of the challenge (and
  looming best-before dates on the slightly dodgy
  crisps), others rose to the occasion. All must
  hate me now, but luckily none were hospitalised
  with salt poisoning. All the pics are released
  under CC0/public domain, and I'll probably add
  a few hundred more at some point."

  Matt continues, "If people might want to
  contribute their own pics, follow  @VOLEwtf on
  Twitter or Instagram for announcements. But no
  problem if that's too faffy/spammy, I'll
  probably be adding a Help Wanted page to site
  that'll make it easier to gather/coordinate
  stuff."
https://vole.wtf/buttystock/ 
  
  >> Carol Vorderman simulator <<
  Monkeon writes, "It's old, so may not be
  relevant, but I've rebuilt my Carol Vorderman
  simulator to save it from the Flash graveyard.
  I've also added messaging to it so you can now
  send filth." Next week: Rachel Riley simulator
  "Ooh ain't that Jerermy Corbyn awful? Aren't
  people online horrid?"
https://monkeon.co.uk/vordertron/

  >> Fruity song <<
  Pi Bennett has made a song for kids about
  peaches and plums and bananas. Well fruit
  basically. Maybe it'll get stuck in your head
  and not in your throat.

Which singer can you boot up?
Adele

-------------------------------------------------

: FESSHOLE
  Your barbaric behaviour, confessed

  We've been asking you to contribute your
  darkest confessions to a form and we post out
  our favourites on a Twitter bot. It's genuinely
  seedy, like Reader's Wives for the Ceefax
  generation.

  * "I am addicted to Pork Scratchings. My wife
  and friends found out that I was eating them
  and wanted me to stop. I told her I had. I was
  on 2 packs a day. I am now on 4 and eating them
  on the way home from work."

  * "Sarah from secondary school told me daily
  that I was ugly, repulsive, would never find a
  boyfriend and would die a virgin. Last year I
  fucked her husband."

  * "My wife insisted I saw a therapist so I told
  her I found one. I actually put my non-existent
  therapist's £60 'fee' in a treat fund for
  myself and go sit in the pub for an hour."

  * "I got curious and stuck a carrot up my arse.
  Then panicked and thought my parents would
  notice the missing carrot so returned it to the
  cupboard. We ate it for dinner that night."

  Keep confessing. Trained vicars are waiting for
  your fetid typing, definitely rubbing their
  thighs.

-------------------------------------------------

"Doctor, doctor... The GUI on my Unix based
system has crashed and it's left me with just a
command line prompt. Is it serious?"

"I'm afraid it's Terminal."

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
  Stuff to click made by dicks

  >> Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards 2019 <<
  The finalists are in, in the competition that
  gives free content to publishers. Hope the
  photographers get something out of it.
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/20... 

  >> "Alec Guinness Hated Star Wars And I Should Know" <<
  Remember the famous story about Alec Guinness
  telling a young Star Wars fan that he should
  never watch the movie again? Well that child,
  now man, tell his side of the story and it's
  fascinating. Plus, a good story in Buzzfeed?
  Who would have thought it?
https://www.buzzfeed.com/chowdad/alec-guinness-hat...

  >> Doctor Who in the style of Vangelis <<
  This person has been remaking the Dr Who theme
  in the style of various electronic musicians.
  Genius, we might actually rip all these and
  burn them to a CD like a granddad.
https://youtube.com/watch

  >> Stock photos of people made by AI <<
  100,000 stock "photos" of non-existent people
  hallucinated by an AI, copyright-free with
  attribution. We look forward to Shardcore doing
  similar and generating crisp sandwich photos
  from Matt Round's collection.
https://generated.photos/

  >> Drone vs rollercoaster <<
  The most exciting bit of drone flying you'll
  see this week.
https://b3ta.com/links/Weeeee:3

  >> Brexiteer buy's Hitler's wife's silky pants? <<
  The BBC are reporting that Adolf Hitler's wife
  Eva Braun's knickers have sold in an auction
  for £3,700. Everyone who bid on this should
  have their hard drives looked at by the police.

What's the difference between a tampons and
aristocrat?

Both are bloody stuck up cunts but at least
tampons work.

-------------------------------------------------

: DAVID CAMERON'S BOOK
  The Amazon reviews are in

  As is traditional when some awful tosser
  publishes a book, we encourage people to write
  the kind of reviews that make the author
  blanche. Here's our favs so far:

  * "Why have they photoshopped the cover to make
  his forehead look a normal size? It's this sort
  of spin that puts people off politics." (1
  star)

  * "A Book with a Spine, Unlike it's Author" (2
  stars)

  * "I came for the photos of pigs. So did Dave
  apparently." (1 star)

  Make sure you add yours to the bookshop of
  record, with the knowledge that Cameron is
  highly likely to read these, unlike your snotty
  replies to his tweets.

What do you get when cheese explodes?
De Brie.

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE
  Make content, everyone must make content

  * NEW DAD VIRALS - editthis yet to have the
  cards say "I'm a self-serving asshat who'll
  turn anything into content for a few clicks"
  etc
https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1174978579802677250

  * LEAVE/REMAIN QUIZ - which celebs would be
  leave or remain. Let's crowdsource this.
 (Mr Blobby? No Deal.)

  * AN INVESTIGATION INTO THOSE WISH ADS ON
  FACEBOOK - you know the ones, it's all weird
  tat and sexy clothing. And God does it makes us
  look, and yet never go to the actual site.

Some people think I'm a homophobe but it only
sounds that way.

-------------------------------------------------

: IMAGE CHALLENGE
  Autobiographies

  You know how celeb's autobiographies have to
  (by law) have a punning title? Gary Barlow's My
  Take, Roger Moore's My Word Is My Bond etc?
  Well why not make your own?

  Here's the best images from last week:

  * BONO ESTENTE from ohidunno
http://b3ta.com/board/11294844

  * A CLASSIC from revmoola
http://b3ta.com/board/11294835

  * "GENTLEMEN, YOU CAN'T TAKE BACK CONTROL IN
  HERE! THIS IS THE SOVEREIGNTY ROOM!" -  from
  (a)lexistwit
http://b3ta.com/board/11294937

  Your editor's entry is too lazy to photoshop?
  "Read the fucking Manuel" or maybe one on bots
  "I, Robert".

  'Autobiographies' challenge:

  >> This week: Reinvent things better <<
  Everyday items are great, but what if they were
  greater? Reinvent the things around you so they
  do the things they do, but better and more.
  Show us remote controlled pre buttered
  toasters, kettles that pour 5 different hot
