Help us choose the new Question of the Week
Like a duck in the night, we return with yet another vote for a new QOTW. Choose between
- First World Problems: 'And then the air conditioning packed up, it was the worst luxury cruise EVER'. In a world of genuine serious shit, tell us about lack of perspective
- De-Friended: Subby says - A couple of years ago I received a message via Facebook from a 'friend' calmly explaining that she was sorry, but she HAD to 'de-friend' me because I was appearing at the top of her 'Bejewelled Blitz' leader board most weeks and she wanted to be at the top herself. What excuses have you used or been told when breaking up a friendship online or in real life?
- Worst Job Ever: We've probably done this before, but it never hurts to have a sequel. Have you ever had a job pulling lobsters out of Jayne Mansfield's arse? Or worse?
- Weird Shit you made as a child: My brother and I once spent months and a small fortune making top-of-the-range 1:24 Airfix model aircraft in exquisite detail. Then, on a whim, we filled them with bangers and weed killer and blew them up. Tell us about strange childhood projects
- Caught on Camera: Tell us your stories of cameras, video film, phone cameras, movies etc. you have made or starred in. Extra points for the evidence.
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

On the subject of first world problems, I think this has to be the absolute winner:

My favourite quote from that article:
"I didn't make it a gender issue; the coverage and comments did."
Then just one sentence later:
"The thing is though, I personally find terms like "babe" coming from men to be overfamiliar, sexist and patronising."

Jo, would you pass me the salt please?
"Don't patronise me you sexist bastard!"

I like the line
'The thing I find weird is that I don't really think this is news.'

"But I'm not going to turn down the chance to write it up in an article for a national newspaper, obviously"

It's refreshingly honest.
and now the bus drivers call her 'bitch' to make amends.
