I haven't ever been a Beta Tester, simply because I prefer the little * next to my username, rather than the =. But it does actually look quite cool next to the double l of my user.

None of us realised that it was almost midnight, and so we were all on Facebook laughing at stupid photos. Then someone switches the TV on and goes, 'eek, it's ten seconds to midnight!' Cue lots of panicked blustering and pouring of champagne. It was pretty funny. 2008 was an alright yea

Yet, there is that expectation tha
