What was that
site that has sport photos that look like sexytiem ones? Like footballers who look like they're bumming each other and doing blowjobs and stuff.
Googling turns up a lot of stuff that isn't that site :(

Anarchist speed dating.

Can anyone recommend any good games
for a PS2? I just bought a lovely new 37" flat screen LCD HD tv and a PS2 'cos I want to play some games (cannot justify a PS3) but I don't know what to buy.

I like "strategy" type games, not really a big fan of shoot 'em ups.

Pronounciation question
Have to interview a brewer this weekend, and I'm trying to figure out if masham (yorkshire) is pronounced like the mash in mashed potatoes, or if it's basically an s, and the h is basically silent.

A technical qustion
As I'm something of a techno mong at times.

A friend has designed our wedding invitations for us. However, she didn't have time to get the pic for the front printed before she went to New York on Thursday, and so sent it through, ready formatted for printing, as a publisher file so we could print it off and plonk on the front of the invites.

Trouble is, we don't have publisher and so I'm unable to open the file. And I've rang different printers in the area, and they don't appear to be able to work with publisher files either.

Is there any way I can convert it to a Jpeg or something?

IAminor mishap reminded me of long ago -v
Last Tuesday evening when a few flakes had stopped paralysing useless TFL, I got a bus at the end of the tube, the useles whitevan man ( thats why they suspended the buses) went into the bay at a jaunty angle through laziness. Instead of the gritted path, I had what looked like snow in shadow.NOPE it was ice I had a skiddy and recovered my balance and as it happens, next day muscle in the back agony, I applied some spray ralgex and managed to get into work.

===========Wavy lines for a time dissolve=============

Just out of school, pre uni, saturday the mob accumulate one by one on the agreed route to agreed pub. a couple in we knock on richs door, his dad had reached sergeant in the army and so thought he should speak like an officer and drink excessively at lunch.

saturday about 2 his dad is lubricated, answers the door old boy, "is richard in?" yes but afraid he may be some time" "whys that?" "he`s" upstars dangling his bollocks in the sink!" cue muttley laugh.

He was indeed , and not the sharpest of our number, and after Rugby training he had gone to Boots to get some more Ralgex for his strained muscle in the thigh, they unfortunately only had spray Ralgex.... do I need to fill in what happened next and led to the shower spray on cold on the `nads?
:-(

nearly as bad as linement applied sitting up, on the back NO TOWEL then it runs down into your bumcrack and you imitate road runner.

Does anyone ever get that odd compulsion to jump when up high, or faced with fast-moving traffic?

Morning all

morning/evening
helloes from NYC -

have been scarce because working like the devil at the office. as some know, have had the feeling that was on thin ice there. this has come true in the form of a 'formal warning' that was foisted upon me Monday aft. Last paragraph stated that if my 'performance' does not improve within 30 days my employment might be terminated. nice, eh? especially since I've worked there for 10 years. *all hail new management*

not to get too ranty (!) but must say:

I fought for this bloody promotion like hell, was sidetracked several times even after 90 days when I was supposed to get a full pay increase. Pushed back, and won.

They never hired a replacement for my former position. Then the other assistant retired. No replacement there...going on 3 months now. Part of my joy has been conducting pointless job interviews each week.

When I first got promoted, I was busy filling Exec. Assistant duties because *new management* hired a crazy person who had to be sacked after one week. They did not check her references. My boss is a high-profile dude. And is a golden human. Can't even really think about this without going ballistic, 3 months later.

They expect me to cover 5 positions flawlessly. A few mistakes are not tolerated. But this is all a cover for their idea that improprieties took place between myself and another worker. (Not true.)

So, yeah, cackers is busy. Some are on my side, but they are no longer the power players. I'm working as hard as I can, keeping my head down, and playing the game. This economy is fucked, and I have people to support.

But still smiling. Thanks for listening, B3tan friends. Know that my vacation will be the tonic. And pub night at the Yorkshire Grey.

Good Afternoon Fan Club!
Since this morning you've all given yourselves pats on the back and been fed no doubt, so I'm assuming the mood has somewhat perked up.

Now, as b3ta's leader, I am often asked what it is that b3ta needs in order to improve.
Now this isn't going to be some CLOSE QOTW AS IT'S SHIT thread. You all seem to turn those back on me for no reason.

What this can be is an open discussion on what YOU, the ugly, want to see on b3ta in the future.
Here's a chance to show off in front of the single mothers again, because everybody reads a JMG post.
