What's the hardest you've tried to get dumped?Groovypoodle writes, "My mate once told his girlfriend that he didn't think it was working only for her to laugh and tell him he was hilarious. Saying she was 'too weird' and 'slightly violent' and that he didn't like her was equally hilarious. Ripping off her wing mirror, throwing it through the windscreen
and storming off in a huff merely generated an apology from her a week later..."
Just how hard have you had to work to get someone to take the hint and stay dumped?

Why I hate planes.Sorry for posting this here but the last QOTW unexpectedly closed early.
· Planes contribute to the Venusforming of our lovely planet more than any other mode of transport.
· Planes fly over the in-between parts. Trains go through.
· Planes may be fast but they’re a horrible way to travel – a bit like a flying bus.
· I’ve never once met an interesting person on a plane. Have managed to do so on busses, trains and boats. Amongst my inner circle of friends, only one of them has met someone interesting on a plane, but they were from Kyrgyztan, and we all know what the Kyrgyz are like.
· Unlike trains and large boats, planes don’t let you walk around, stretch your legs and explore (unless you don’t mind pacing up and down the aisle).
· Planes have the lowest chance of survival if something goes wrong.
Douglas Adams said it best when he said "It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression “As pretty as an airport.”". To date, this is the best novel-opener I've seen.

DAMN THAT QOTW CLOSING ON A THURSDAY(, Thu 5 Jun 2008, 16:54, closed)
As pretty as an airportThat is true until you see the Beijing Airport Terminal 3. Apart from being the biggest building in the world, it's designed to look like a dragon from the outside (with the air conditioning vents like scales, I shit you not), and inside, it's really quite dazzling. Never mind that 180,000 people got forcibly removed to make room for it, eh?
