My ex dumped me two weeks before we were due to go to Borneo for a month
The bint had always wanted to go to spend time at an orangutan rescue (she's a veterinary nurse). I had spent £4k on the trip - business class flights, top hotel before we went in to the rain forest etc.

A week after she dumped me my grandmother died, so I was able to use that to get the money back on the travel insurance. Thanks grandma.

Aw, grandmothers never stop giving, do they.
On another note, I saw you wrote an actual, decent, amusing QOTW answer. A rarity. Thank you.

Not a rarity compared to what you usually do.

while I love books
I can't see how pages and pages of people saying "i like ***** because it's great and hate ***** because it's toss" will make for interesting reading.

And all the comments will be "ner ner ner youare stupid for liking that"

Yup.
And yet I read it anyway, like always.

Exactly.
You may as well ask 'What football team do you support' for all the interesting answers it's likely to bring.

I take my QOTWing far too seriously don't I?

Was she attacked by orangutans?
That'd round the story off.
