Question about an old car advert
There was an a car advert a few years back and it featured these people www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2bcPIXl8kc or at least a similar sort of group. I'm fairly sure it was for Fiat. Does anyone remember it?

Nearly the weekend, and all the more reason for


a cup of tea and some cake.

Tonight's question: what nicknames/permutations of your name will you, and will you not, allow to be used for you? For the record, shorten my name (my actual name, not my b3taname) and I will want to roundhouse kick you in the face.

Oh Gonz, you muppet.
I put £20 into an online roullette thing today, went up'n'down around £40, said I was going to bail out at £60, went up to £120, then lost the whole lot when 5 reds and a '0' came up in a row.

And so ends my gambling careea.

Any other lefties feel like celebrating? I shall raise a cup of tea to you.

Edit - I would punish psychochomp by banning him from posting a negative comment for the whole day.

I really really fancy a bottle of elderflower kroppenbourg.
I've got a cold one in the fridge that's just aching for me to open it up.

I also made a couple of egg'n'bacon rolls before, and ended up chucking most of it away as I realised I didn't fancy it.

I sometimes cook just to be normal or something.

I'm listening to some Lisa Moskovski, I love her voice and her music.

Serious post potential - attempt may fail
Hullo all. I'm here to ask for some help, or at least to canvass opinion. I've been tasked to research into 'The Digital Landscape' (yes, I know it's wanky) for work - a quick n' dirty examination of digital companies:

- what they're selling
- how they package their sales
- how they market their services (ooh-err)
- how products/services are packaged
- where the ROI is coming from
- how the successful digital agencies are set up
- where the digital industry is going and other possible future developments/trends.

I know it's a bit cheeky, but I also know that there's a lot of digital folk on here and that this could be the most effective way of getting some insider opinions.

So if you've got a spare few minutes and you'd like to share your thoughts, please do cos I'm a bit lost when it comes to the digital industry. Leave here or gaz me, whichever you'd prefer...

Mondo cheers.

I've not had a cigarette for 9 days
and I've managed not to kill anyone yet despite the most intense and vivid cravings imaginable (I was a 40 a day man...) Note I say "was" - I'm going to beat it!

I've going out to the pub for the first time since quitting tonight and in desperate need of coping strategies. What can anyone recommend other than trying to kill my brain with beer? I'd also love to know what strange sensations have manifested themselves in any other ex-smokers. My fingertips tingle at the moment and that can't be normal....

God I'm naive.
So I'm chatting with this guy on a dating site and I think he's funny and cool although I'm not really interested in him and he sends me another pic of him and it's a naked torso shot. Now we've only just started chatting so why send a naked pic. I know there was nothing rude on show but still it was obvious he was naked all over. Did he think I would see his middle-aged hairy body and go gaga there and then and demand he roger me silly.

What is it with you guys?

The various new people you've embraced are all our second accounts and we've all been working to make off topic gradually shitter.

Start a trend
Could we make up our own "B3ta Buzzwords" that we could use in meetings to see if they catch on? It doesn't need a meaning because if you slip it into your banter, no one will question it for fear of looking stupid and they will inevitably start using it themselves to look clever.

I'm going to suggest "landfill solution".
