Why did you like the question of the week?

	A	B	C
1	Timestamp	Why did you like the question of the week?	What would be a good question for Question Of The Week? If you're feeling ambitious explain WHY it would be good question by giving the type of answer you would like to leave to
2	12/18/2023 10:44:50	i like to wach the unravelling of peoples sanity and i'm a glutton for insights into people#s darkest thoughts	At this point, going over old ground isn't a bad idea - a lot of the old questions were answered a long time ago, and lives move on and age regardless, like a waterfall or dick van dyke.
3	12/18/2023 10:47:37	Interaction and taking the piss. the personal attacks got a bit much, so better moderation would be useful
4	12/18/2023 11:03:32	I enjoyed the confessional. Fesshole has replaced it, but i dont find the responses as engaging. Prefer QOTW for its direct thread response	If this has been asked before, I apologise. However question would be “What’s the biggest age gap for a sexual encounter?” Mine is 31 years was 20 at the time she was 51.
5	12/18/2023 12:14:21	It was funny, a lot of dross and user meltdowns though.	Weird relatives.
6	12/18/2023 12:27:57	Always fun to read and join in with
7	12/18/2023 14:49:21	It's lighthearted and funny ans gives a true insight into people's life-story	If I knew good questions I'd be creating my own newsletters
8	12/18/2023 15:06:24	I read the best of every week. Usually made me laugh a lot!
9	12/18/2023 15:24:45	Funny, interesting.	Do you listen to.Danny Baker's Treehouse podcast? Those type of questions. "Dropping something valuable" "weird neighbours" "entering a building not by the door".
10	12/18/2023 16:21:25	It was a window into how angry, depraved, unhygienic, sexually frustrated the b3ta lot are. This role is now filled by Fesshole but I preferred the QOTW format as the stories could be a lot longer	Q. People you think you might have occidentally killed. A. I often have extremely vivid nightmares about committing awful acts of violence by accident, I also think I'm suffering from a bit of dementia so I sometimes find it difficult to sort out real memories from the dreams. If they are real memories then I have been getting away with "the perfect crime" for ages.
11	12/18/2023 17:48:58	I don't	Why did you like the question of the week?
12	12/18/2023 18:27:07	Sometimes it was illuminating, frequently funny, rarely boring	What is the most expensive mistake you ever made? I got married, divorce is fucking expensive.
13	12/18/2023 19:02:12	Because I had no papershop skills and it allowed me to contribute to b3ta in some way (was user Wascally Weasel). Some of the entries were very funny and I enjoyed it.	What have b3tans being doing since the b3ta heyday and how have their lives gone?
14	12/18/2023 21:54:34		Why are you weak? Because I don't do weights.
15	12/18/2023 22:50:47	I didn't. Just made up fantasist stuff like Fesshole. Was not actually aware of it for years thankfully.	How can Quantum Mechanics and general relatively become a unified theory of everything and explain why I am replying to this?
16	12/19/2023 2:48:22	I enjoyed reading the weekly lies from Legless to be honest.	The cinema theatre. A memorable time with your squeeze? Nazi ushers? The film broke? Let's hear it all.
17	12/19/2023 6:36:19	The imaginative perspective on minutiae	Brushes with fame (animal edition) Weird psychological complexes I have had. Unusual situations that make you vomit. Unlikely kink (cableknit cricket jumpers) Problematic political crushes - 2023 edition.
18	12/19/2023 20:01:31	It was fun	Christmas list... Other half and I exchange Christmas lists so we don't waste money on tat we don't want but after 15 years i am at the socks and pants stage of ideas. What should i put on my list for next year?
19	12/19/2023 20:36:11	It’s like Fesshole but with the spice of danger that your HR will read it	The Pub Liar. Those transparently obvious bullshit tales told by Dave who was in the SAS and a roadie for Ozzy Osborne and once trialled for Southampton FC and shagged Debbie McGee up the arse.
20	12/19/2023 22:45:07	Yes	Worst time to get dihorea
21	12/20/2023 1:26:07	The answers were always hilarious, best part of the newsletter and cheered me right up!	I love people's embarrassing stories of drunken shenanigans 🙃
22	12/20/2023 14:52:20	Twas good to while away reading them for a few minutes when I should really be working.	Q: What cock ups have you successfully styled out without getting found out? (include deets of the style out for bonus laughs).
23	12/20/2023 21:28:38	That was the reason I came across B3TA. It was extremely funny and the stories were great in the beginning, but then it degenerated into a bunch of wankers posting obviously fake stories and abuse from other wankers. I still go back to the early 'best of' sometimes to relive the laughs. Greetings from the Antipodes.........	Well, I did post this up ages ago into the suggestions, I still think it might work. "Last night I dreamt I went shopping for a new vacuum cleaner, tell us about your boring dreams, or maybe your dreams are far more interesting? Have they ever come true?" Basically people always want to talk about their dreams, but nobody in the real world wants to listen!!
24	12/21/2023 11:29:56	Funny stuff requiring no art or potatoeshop talent	First fumblings! Tell us about your early inept attempts at sexy times, and how they went wrong. Impotent rage! Tell us how you went full Karen over some avocados or whatever.
25	12/21/2023 12:42:22	Laugh-out-loud-funny answers	What’s the naughtiest thing you ever did as a kid? For me, I found out which bar my boss was going to for a hot first date and then led the rest of our colleagues in a conga line past the window until he lost his temper with us.
26	12/22/2023 14:55:42	Poo	Guess what, it's 'poo' again
27	12/22/2023 20:13:38	Funny responses	How and why is B3TA’s QOTW better than AskReddit?
28	12/22/2023 20:34:21	I loved question of the week it first bought me to the site before I was even aware of the newsletter. Especially some of the threads that went on and on. Killed plenty of time at work on a Friday afternoon	I just liked reading all of them, can't remember many rubbish ones , although it petered out a bit towards the end.
29	12/22/2023 20:55:21	Yes the only reason I used to look at this site 6 years ago	Yes the only reason that I used to look at this pathetic site 6 years ago
30	12/22/2023 21:54:58	Random topics and (often drunken) variety of confessionals and discussion - kind of a noughties version of the Hardcore Listing podcast / John Robins shamewell in a way. The one about some guy buying about 200 burgers from McDonald's when drunk, as he thought it would be a great business opportunity still comes to my mind every now and again, and I laugh and imagine the poor guy's fridge - if anyone has a link to that post...	Anything and everything - embarrassing nudity moments, the drunkest you've ever been, texts sent to the wrong person, your luckiest ever moment, most stupid idea, a time when you did something absolutely genius. Appreciate a lot of these have probably been covered in various forms before, albeit 10-20 years ago, so could potentially branch off into more specific discussions, like what's the best album/film of [insert era/year] and why. I love you by the way x
31	12/22/2023 22:33:43	It was like those feel good story threads that people put on Insta, except actually entertaining, weirder and darker.	I'm no good at this, which is why I rely on you to entertain me. I could steal one from Richard Herring?
32	12/22/2023 22:42:54	Question of the week? What was that all about??	Question of the week? What was that all about?
33	12/22/2023 23:00:22	I can't remember but i like replying to surveys	I once asked in my owns newsletter if people farted in the presense of their SO's and that yielded lots of reponses so i think that is a good QOTW.
34	12/23/2023 0:07:24	The outrageous randomness and the wide range of weirdness	What over the top prank did you play on a flatmate/housemate, and why? in 1973 housemate from Trinidad was studying in UK and had a part time job at a call centre in North London with me. We both worked similar evening shifts. One evening he came home boasting that he was going to bring a girl called Sue from work back late on Friday night for "an overnight stay". Another friend and i told him that he was talking nonsense because 1. Sue was engaged to a police detective; 2. They lived together; 3. We believed that sue might be a bit racist; and 4. We had never ever seen Sue talking to my flatmate. I bet one pound that he was lying / fantasizing and that he would never get Sue back to the flat on Friday night. We worked out a plan that 15 minutes after I heard him come in, I would rush to his bedroom at the back of the house, knock on his bedroom door and walk in at the same time to see if he was telling the truth. On the Friday night I was sitting up in bed in my vest and underpants, reading and counting the 15 minutes. I then went down to his bedroom, knocked on the door and marched in dressed only in underpants and vest, to say that "Arthur was on the phone" and expecting to get my one pound bet paid. To my amazement, a rather surprised Sue was sitting on the end of his bed dressed only in her bra and panties. My friend went off to "answer the phone call", whilst sue imploded me not to tell anyone at work. I promised not to do so, and as I passed my flatmate in the landing, I discreetly passed him his winning. A less bashful sue had a good breakfast in the kitchen on Saturday morning after her night of Caribbean passion.
35	12/23/2023 8:52:43	Good anecdotes and some creative fiction	Have you ever eaten animal food, like accidentally spread cat food on some bread instead of pâté? Who was your first crush? Have you ever seen a ghost? What was the worst journey of your life? Which of your school friends can you not stop thinking about and why? What made you fall out of love with an ex-partner? What was your worst or best camping experience? What’s your most embarrassing interaction with a professional (could be doctor, teacher, lawyer, plumber, electrician, etc)? At which point did you realise you should have called in a professional? What was your biggest waste of money? What’s the most you’ve ever eaten in a single sitting? When did you think you’d got away with it, but clearly hadn’t? How has technology caused you problems? What event or discussion was an instant passion-killer? Have you ever been stuck somewhere, like up a tree or on a roof or in a bathroom? Every family has a secret, what’s yours? Every family has an embarrassing relative, who’s yours? What event from your childhood would you love to forget, but can’t? When did you think ‘this is the end’, but it wasn’t? Which of your schoolmates turned out just the way you expected they would? When did it become apparent that you were the arsehole? When did an animal get the better of you? What’s your most embarrassing moment with your parents? What was the worst place you lived? When did you realise you were definitely in the wrong place? Have you ever tried to recreate a stunt or scene from a movie with hilarious results? When have your romantic intentions gone wrong? I used to love QOTW. I didn’t care if people made up answers: the creativity was part of the fun. I think the best starting points are quite open-ended, often things involving school or childhood, embarrassing events, sex of course, anything scatalogical, and the occasional minor celebrity
36	12/23/2023 17:09:35	Such a random selection. Sometimes really poignant, sometimes LOL funny, I used to spend far too much time going through it	What was the worst pet you ever had? What's the weirdest reason you've heard why someone hates the Royal Family (or a member thereof). My mum frequently goes off about Megan Markle (of course) and the best one was how she 'ruined the Queen's Jubilee church service with a "saucy look at the camera from that little miss minx"'
37	12/24/2023 0:38:09	The creative filthy minds let loose to amuse and disgust us.	Why do the trolls who destroyed QOTW have such tiny and non-functional genitals.
38	12/24/2023 19:45:00	I found the replies to the questions to be interesting and funny.	Pretentious nonsense, It would provide a conduit to allow thoughts and experiences to flow from people's consciousness to create an ethereal permanence of existential totality.
39	12/28/2023 12:41:03	Yes
40	12/28/2023 13:28:27	There's lots of comedy gold out there. Just need to tap into it. QOTW used to be great!	An old one of yours: Tell us about a time you went "too far". Revenge stories where the revenger revenged way out of proportion to the offense committed.
41	12/28/2023 21:52:39	Good content	What would b3ta be like if it were launched today? I imagine the key b3ta demographic is British men in their 30s and 40s who are nostalgic for the sense of freedom the old internet used to have.
42	12/29/2023 12:27:22	I liked the open ended questions that'd get genuinely funny stories along the lines of "not your finest moment", "It went wrong but turned out OK" . The format, 20 words or huge essays by pooflake. Questions that were too narrowly lolwacky not so great.	Stolen Valour: When have you been recognised for an achievement, good or bad, that wasn't yours...or when did somebody steal your valour?
43	12/31/2023 0:52:14	Shit stories were the greatest	After sex stories. There's got to me a minefield of experiences there.
44	1/3/2024 3:23:50	Everyone loves a good question	Why don't all the Tories just fuck off?
45	1/3/2024 11:57:54	Answers were quite often great, entertaining anecdotes. Less keen on the shaggy dog stories that turned out to be Star Wars reference, but hey-ho.	Dossing: what's the best way you've gotten around, or out of, a long or arduous task? I once had a temp job, manually typing names and postal addresses from thousands of pdf scans into a spreadsheet, for use in a corporate mailout. They expected it to a week or two - a couple of their permanent staff had doing that same task, so they had an estimated timeframe, and I was hired for my WPM typing skills. Instead, I used OCR software combined with MS Word Find & Replace kung-fu to do the lot in about an hour. Spent the next few days writing D&D fan fic, then handed in the lot on a Friday, got a grateful £100 bonus, and the agency made me 'temp of the month'. I think I still have the certificate somewhere.
