» B3TA fixes the world
So, this global helium shortage...
...as reported by 'Bang Goes the Theory' on BBC1.
Why can't they just go up and get the balloons back?

» Sexism
Well...
...it's not funny or rocket science but...
Men and women are different and they are good at different things. Men should be encouraged to do what they do best, and likewise for women. There will always be a cross over so neither sex should be banned from doing what they choose (legal considerations aside, of course). However, if a role requires a skill commonly done by a man (because they are better at the task) it is not sexist to give him the job over a woman. It's just logical.
Oh, and women are less likely to be funny as all they do is talk about their lady bits and try to out-gross the men.

...if I had any OCD type behaviour worthy of adding to this QOTW challenge but he refused to answer.
Not sure what to make of that.

» Amazing displays of ignorance
On a planetary theme...
There's my gran who asked if the moon she saw in Spain was the same as the one she sees in the UK.
Then there's my friend from somewhere I used to work who claimed science was not taught at her school and so it's not her fault she didn't know that the earth orbited the sun.
Anyone who thinks astrology is true yet doesn't think it's odd that no two newspapers record the same 'fortune'.

» Crappy relationships
I had a waste of space ex...
Not so sure of the exact moment the magic went, more a culmination of the following events (not in chronological order):
1.Sending a friend round to pick me up for a night out clubbing because he was too busy buying drugs (although I did get some of them, so maybe not so bad)
2.Selling my car stereo without asking me and buying himself a set of decks (his mixing skills were an acquired taste)
3.Running off to join the circus (well, travelling fun fair) and then phoning me up to bring him things to furnish his not-so-palacial caravan
4.Leaving me £15k in debt
5.Driving on the wrong side of the road after his gran's funeral because he wanted to die (I was in the passenger seat at the time and was of the opinion that he should do that after dropping me off home)
6.Thinking that me being asleep should not be a barrier to having a quick shag
7.Being a twat
Much better off with current fella!
