: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Wogan, Clarkson and urban food
>> Terry Wogan vs GODZILLA <<
"After a two year hiatus," cries Butters, and
fresh for Eurovision, "B3ta's favourite cartoon
porn superstar returns!" NSFW / Very NSFW
depending on your workplace.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/Terry_Wogan_vs_GODZILLA
>> "I Hear you're a racist now Clarkson" <<
"Video I did," winks quietly proud B3tan
maiden. He's just misunderstood!
http://www.b3ta.com/links/I_Hear_youre_a_racist_now_Clarkson
>> Urban foraging food odyssey <<
"This is a deranged, unhinged rant against
budget food blogger Jack Munroe," confesses
quietly ashamed B3tan colmcq2. "She writes
about food and goes busking with billy bragg
and I'M NOT ANGRY OR JEALOUS."

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Brits Abroad
For both sides of the 'Brits overseas' experience,
go read Wet-chinned bag shanker's tale of Cretan
love, drinking and big, stiff rocks:
http://b3ta.com/questions/britsabroad/
* PUB - "My first trip to Amsterdam. Having
procured weed, we didn't want to sit in the
silly stoners' cafe, but instead fancied a beer
in a proper pub. We found a nice little bar and
I went to get the round and ask if we could
smoke in there.
"'Depends,'" said the large barman, very cooly,
rather stern.
"'Er... hash?' I enquired.
"'Yeah yeah,' he said levelly, 'Depends - where
are you from?'
"'Er... England...?' I said, slightly confused,
'London?'
"'London!" he suddenly beamed. The tension was
completely gone, replaced instead almost by low
camp, "Of COURSE you can smoke here! You want
some munchies? I'm so sorry - I thought you
were from Liverpool!'"
(Just a vagabond)
* RAIN - "On the way back from Spain there was
a couple who had quite clearly had a massive
argument in the airport and when we were seated
on the plane they were right behind us.
"I could hear her huffing and puffing for the
short flight, but they didn't speak to each
other for almost the whole journey, until he
(trying to break the ice as we landed) said
'Oh, look, rain drops on the window, must be
raining in Bristol.'
"To which she screamed at the top of her lungs
'OH REALLY? WELL, THANKS FOR POINTING THAT OUT
TO ME, BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SPERM!'"
(bomb)
* TEA - "Technically not 'abroad', technically
'the Lake District' but if you're a total rah
who thinks anything outside Zone 1 is roughing
it, you might as well be abroad. One summer
when I was a child, we went for a long weekend
in the lakes.
"We were minding our own business in a teashop
when this terribly posh woman wandered in. 'Ay
say,' she said to the girl behind the counter,
"Do you do cream teas?'
"The girl blinked a bit, 'No,' she said after
some careful thought, 'Only milk.'
"The posh woman blinked back at her. It was
hard to say which of them had puzzled the other
more. 'Righty-ho,' she said faintly, and
swished back out again."
