Achievement unlocked. https://www.indy100.com/tv/doctor-who-doccy-gatwa-... * HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the 'Jubilee Line Ticket Barrier Sings Blur's Song 2' thing submitted to b3ta by 'Pesky Young Scamp' ten years ago. http://b3ta.com/links/1612377 * JOEY BARTON IS A C*** - something we didn't share out from the @fesshole account as we were worried it might blow up in our faces if it go too much attention but someone confessed to registering Joey's dot co dot uk address 10 years ago and stick up a very rude message, and you know what, via the power of archive.org the story checked out. https://bit.ly/48Odt5o ------------------------------------------------- : STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE Some ideas to kick you in the idea groin * SWEAR AT THE PRIME MINISTER - "There are currently 58 people swearing at the Prime Minister.

And then make it. Go on, share your spreadsheet where you've recorded every insult you've received since 1978, and how much it hurt: https://b3ta.com/mailus/ Ah fuck it one more idea: visit the butcher and buy 200 pork chops. Dip each one in varnish to preserve them, then arrange them to create massive skeletal insects made of pork. ------------------------------------------------- : PATREON THANKS We love all these people.
