It's going to be awesome, look at the lens flairs ! It's like an english version of 'Crawl Intentions'.

It must be weird that with most people, if they get someone to star themselves in their life movie, the actor is generally more famous than the character.... but this is the other way 'round, I don't think that happens very often.

What's for lunch? I got some salmon nigiri and prawn'n'avacardo maki.

Relocation, relocation
so soon... so they're closing our office (could be now, could be in June 2013; as soon as they find a new tenant for the office) and they're asking us where we'd like to work: Croyton, London Bridge, Fetter Lane or Reading. We don't know if they're asking just to keep us happy or because they really plan to listen, as we think they'll try to convince us to move to Reading. And we don't want to, for obvious reasons.

This is all happening very quickly, we haven't got our flat in Redhill yet, and might not need it anymore.

Anyway, the question, which things changed/are changing in your life too quick. Do you feel vertigo thinking about them or are quite happy of what happened?

If there's a more invigorating way of shaking off the "what the fuck am I doing awake at this hour" blues than washing your balls in black mint Source shower gel then I'm yet to find it. Alright, a more invigorating LEGAL way.

How do you banish the urge to go back to bed and tell the world to fuck off? Or what else have you discovered lately? Ball-tingling sensations optional.

Alt - Chompy and Monty have both expressed a distaste of late for the humble strikethrough. What would you submit to the mods as a suggestion to improve B3ta? If I didn't think it'd become a Troll's best friend, an "I dislike this" button would be nice.

Good morrow, good morrow, good morrow.
I have a Beekers-esque tale of shame and indignity to recount.

Last night I made a beef stew (it was fucking great, thanks). I needed a bottle of wine to go in it, and another to drink. I saw a '3 for £10' deal in Sainsbo's and, on whim, went for it. I never do this. But fie and woe, for I had not bought three bottles of South African generic red plonk - oh no, I had not - I had acquired a triumvirate of 'wine-based drink' at a paltry 5.5% alcohol. The shame, the shame.

When was the last time you were thoroughly ashamed of yourself and what had you done*?

(*you'd 'done' my mum!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHHA)

SouthEastern Trains are cunts.
Just went to my local station because I dropped my passport whilst running for a train on Saturday. A lad banged on the door having picked it up but the train was already pulling away, so he shouted through the window that he'd hand it in. Nice guy.

The bloke behind the counter just now told me yes, a passport was handed in. Fantastic. He then told me it's their policy to cut any passports they find/get given in half and send them to the Home Office's passport centre. Not so fantastic. He agreed that it was totally ridiculous and was quite apologetic about the whole thing, however that doesn't change the fact I now need to fork out £70 for a new one.

What daft protocols have you encountered lately?

Monday! Monday!
So it's half term I gather from the lack of screaming brats, which means less traffic on the roads, more room on the bus. All in all a good start to the week. On the bus this morning the Oyster reader wasn't working so much amusement in people looking frantic and touching their card a million times before realising the bus driver was telling them it was out of order. Also we had to wait THREE WHOLE MINUTES as we were running early and some middle aged women started bitching, I said I'm only on my way to work so not really in a hurry (haha) and one glared at me and said what will your boss say if you're late, I smiled and said "Lady I am the boss". She huffed and literally turned round to ignore me.

HEHE so as the real boss is away and I am the boss today, what should I make my cheerful little work force do?

Serious Thread Time
Someone I know wants to drop out of their 3 year university foundation degree in sound recording.

They have been there 2 years and have failed one of their modules and can no longer resit it any further times. They tell me this means they cannot pass the course, hence they want to drop out.

I have advised them to find out if the modules they have already completed have any transferable value to another institution where they might potentially complete their degree.


Have any of you had any experience of this type of thing or know anybody who does that you could put this friend in touch with. I'm really struggling to convince them and I think they are making a big mistake that they will regret for the rest of their life.

Any advice, hilarious or otherwise would be most welcome.
bonus points for being nice.
