    B3ta

    I know, but it’s a slow week (I was SUPPOSED to have the week off but had to goto Bristol). Anyway, last week’s QOTW was a cracker 🙂 and the new one has just came out: ‘IT Support’. This has the regulars in 2 camps – the IT geeks who’re rubbing their hands together and typing like maniacs, and the non-IT bods, who’re moaning like the non-IT bods they are… Of course, the “Did you try turning it off and ono again?” story has already been done to death, but I have some corkers ready to enter… The whole thing […]

    Childish things…

    As I mentioned in an earlier post, B3ta’s QOTW is childish things you’ve done as an adult 🙂 the amount of posts so far (20 pages of ’em) show’s the level of maturity of the average B3tan. Just found and uploaded these: Look whabbs ^^ Guinness 🙂 *drools* By Paul, aged 41 and 1 week EDIT: More from the QOTW here. Go on, give it a go – it’s ace! 🙂

    Woo, it's a hot one today…

    And just over an hour to go until I escape to the pub home 🙂 In the meantime, I’ve just had a crafty surf over at my favouritist waste of worktime: B3ta.com. Reading through some of the old QOTW answers makes for some serious office LOLing. Found this one in the ‘Tell us your stories of churches and religion (or lack thereof)’: I know, I know – I’m going to Hull Hell.

    Eeew…just eeew…

    Quiet moment at work, so I’m re-reading some of B3ta’s QOTW answers. Then I came across this one: A long, long time ago I was living and working in London. Whilst visiting some friends from home we used to regularly wonder about the mysterious moving duvet that lived in my friends squalid but sunny squat. Every day when she would leave the house her duvet was on her bed but every night she got home it had moved half way across the floor. All rational explanations for this were ruled out. It being a rather temporary squat for young Irish […]

    Bored…and hot

    So here’s a blatant post straight from B3ta’s QOTW archive: 5 years ago I had a boring admin job whose only redeeming feature was that I worked on a team with 3 lovely young ladies. Abbie sat to my left; she was 21, slim, blond, attractive but a total space cadet and jittery with it. Very jittery, if somebody dropped a file loudly she would flinch noticeably. Whenever I made the coffee she would always remind me that she only took half a teaspoonful of coffee, what she called “granny coffee” as it was so weak. This one time I […]

    I only just caught up with the B3ta beard grow-off competition:

    I came third apparently! 🙂 Woo…check it all out here. Best comment about it: Third place: Snee – for having the sort of reassuring beard that I’d want with me on any kind of camping/survival weekend as it would provide a nice rugged presence. Good coverage. I never expected to get a place – I have no acceptance speech ready or anything… Pic of the final 3: 3rd: snee                        2nd: Vipros                        1st: Mictoboy Ugly looking bunch eh? Wait! where’s my medal anyway?
