 : HELLO NUMBER FOUR
   Delighted by the warm response our comeback has
   had & if you want to help there's one thing we
   need: Facebook likes.
   The reality of modern publishing is you need a
   strong Facebook page to get stuff in front of
   people. We used to do this via newsletter.
   We're absolutely going to continue the
   newsletter but we need a strong Facebook page.
   Like the fuck out of it. Now.

 : BYE ROGER MOORE
   Three way bye-bye from everyone at b3ta
   * BEST ROGER MOORE STORY YOU'LL EVER READ - It's
   been a rotten week but this story about a chap
   meeting Roger Moore as a child and then again as
   an adult really lifted our mood and hopefully
   it'll do the same for you. Thanks to Marc Haynes
   for sharing.
 http://b3ta.com/blog/simply-a-great-story-about-ro...
   * ROGER MOORE FLASH NOSTALGIA - Back in B3ta 55
   we published Dan Chamber's Flash animation about
   Roger Moore so today we got back in touch and
   asked him to get it on YouTube. It's great -
   double nostalgia of old B3ta and the dearly
   departed Rog. And how's Dan? He's well, he's
   still in animation and done loads of kids TV and
   adverts in the er... last 15 or so years since
   we last caught up. Yay.

   * ROGER PHOTOSHOPS - Some Roger Moore tributes
   from our ob3tuaries challenge. Not the best
   possible taste but they were made with love.

 : GIVE WEEBL YOUR FUCKING MONEY
  
   Jonti Picking, of badger badger badger fame
   wants your money. Patreon stuff init. He says
   "Making animations is not easy, quick or cheap
   so if you like what we do then your support
   REALLY helps and gives us the freedom to create
   the things you love, without compromising." Go
   on, bung the old sausage 50p.

 : WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
   Other than making suspicious jam
  
   * ANDREW MARR WEATHER - @area writes, "My
   significant other has decreed that 'The Andrew
   Marr Show' is required viewing since we started
   dating. It didn't take me long to realise what
   my favourite bit of it is, and as a result I've
   now started a Twitter account solely to document
   Andrew Marr introducing the weather forecast"
 https://twitter.com/SoToTheWeather
   We asked WHY they enjoyed this bit so much and
   area replied, 'They're just needlessly
   overwritten. He could just say "Here's Louise
   with the weather", but instead he says "It's
   been a rather desolate, bone-aching and frankly
   soul-destroying week, meteorologically, and I
   wish I could think of something good to say
   about it. But I can't. Over to Louise".'
  
   * THERESA MAY ELECTION SONG - "I made another
   musical video, this time about Theresa May's
   campaign strategy" writes  the b3ta artist
   formerly known as giant_squid. We thought we'd
   hate this but it's great.
 https://youtu.be/3Kjp5JxlGjs
   * ELECTION POSTERS - if you hadn't noticed
   there's an election on. "I been doing these
   anti-tory posters writes", long term b3tan
   Darren Cullen AKA Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives,
   "I've been making anti-Tory propaganda you can
   download and print in your home, office, or
   local closed & dilapidated library."
 https://www.spellingmistakescostlives.com/toriesou...
   * HISTORY OF MUSIC - James Errington writes,
   "I'm making a mix of music / audio for every
   year since the start of sound recording. So far
   I've got up to 1890."
 https://centuriesofsound.wordpress.com/2017/05/01/...
 -------------------------------------------------
   * WALKERS CRISPS FUCK-UP Amazing screw up from
   Walkers - they allowed unmoderated photos into
   their official Twitter account and tweeting out
   videos of murderers & sex offenders. And of
   course we've saved the video so you can watch
   coz they obviously deleted all this shit ASAP.
 http://b3ta.com/blog/walkers-crisps-tweet-a-series...
   * BBC BROASDCAST BAD TASTE IAN BRADY RADIO QUIZ
   - Make sure you listen to this radio clip as a
   cheesy local radio host decided to commit career
   suicide by doing a jolly music quiz about Ian
   Brady. Unbelievable.
 http://b3ta.com/blog/ian-brady-local-radio-quiz/
   BTW: If anyone has a follow up on this story
   we'd like to know. BBC apologised & Nathan
   Turvey deleted account. But we're still puzzled
   by it. It's been forgotten in the horror of the
   week but still want to know *why* he did this.
   Not outraged. Fascinated. Weird thing to do in
   context of BBC local radio.
 -------------------------------------------------
 : REMEMBERING MUNKT0N
  
   Old school b3tan Munkt0n of B3ta AND 4rthur fame
   sadly passed on this week but it prompted B3tans
   of 2003 vintage to stage a board invasion in
   tribute to the lovely old chap. It's a fitting
   tribute and seeing all the old names puts a lump
   in our throat.
