i thought he made them cups of tea
sorry, i should have said "Everyone except Vic should look here because they might find a moment's amusement!"
cal worked on b3ta? i never knew that.
i assume that's sarcasm.
if not, i was one of the founders, along with Rob Manuel and Denise Wilton (pep)

Are you at liberty to say roughly?
Okay, fair enough, scratch that - do they cover costs?
> i assume that's sarcasm.

actually no, i never knew that
well well well. anything practical and fun on the modern interweb, content-presentation-wise, that you've NOT been involved with mate? increasingly impressed.
grim: yes
salt: almost everything else has nothing to do with me

Including that nasty episode with the onkey and the water melon. He denies all involvement in that.
Although obviously we know better. The dirty bastard. I reckon it
must have hurt, too.

^ The fucker fell off! It was at the bottom ofthe page. Must be a virus.
Sorry salty, It is pretty funny.
Can't believe you actually linked a B3ta image though.
no worries.
is there something wrong with linking them directly? it's b3ta-- they already get hits up the wazoo and are expecting people to load their stuff. that's WHY they put their images up. i didn't see the point of shifting the leech from direct to via flickr.
if iamcal had a slashdot volume i'd be a touch more cautious, mind.
'course, if iamcal was slashdot-sized and slashdot-l337-infested, i'd probably not be here
err, yeah. me neither......
I thought it was an M...
I more thought the problem with linking from b3atm3 is that if people wanted to see funny pictures on there, they would do so. And if they didn't, then they would avoid going there.
Sorry, I'm in quite an un-murphy's mood at the moment.
Hmm, only days after questioning Cals B3ta involvement, a
name drop crops up in the newsletter, coincidence?
it's a conspiricy!
i have (virtually) nothing to do with writing the newsletter. not my fault
