Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Tell Us Your Story »
We've all done stuff...
I've done some stuff in my time. You may have done things or maybe, if you're of the ethnic persuasion, shizzle, or maybe ting.
Tell us about a time you did a thing! It'll be riveting, everyone will think you are COOL and /talk will get jealous.

21st century kitsch
I really hate Andean pipe players - they're like little brown Richard Claydermans peeping out Abba hits to silly old women and chavs who think they're listening to something culturally authentic.
What else is hatefully kitschy in the 21st century?

Post holiday grumpiness
I had a lovely three weeks off in New Zealand, so I was nice and relaxed, carefree even.
Before departing Blighty, I requested that I had the first morning back free to go through emails and check my jobs, which was duly booked.
Some bugger then had booked two jobs in cocking Stevenage and then on another frickin' Horsham.
My good humour lasted 35 minutes and I was a right grumpy bastard for the week.
How long did it take you to become a humourless grumpy bastard/bitch after a return from holiday and why?

Your earliest memories
I was 3 and a half years old when my sister was born. I remember quite clearly her being brought home in a cardboard box. I'm sure the box was placed on the floor, I looked into it, decided I didn't like what I saw and asked for another sweet.
What are your earliest memories?

I like cheese
From Bavarian smoked to a nice Leicestershire, I like cheese.
Why don't the moderators ask us to write about all our amusing anecdotes about cheeses?
* Doesn't actually like cheese that much.

Fetishes
Everyone has a friend that seems to like feet a bit too much...
And everyone has had a quick look at some type of porn including beastiality/ fisting/ Japanese school girls peeing on eachother...
So are you brave enough to tell us tales of what makes you moist and eager to hump?
Considering some of the things you people talk about, you may aswell have a question on it.

Reckless
When I was younger, around 17 or 18, I used to smoke joints up the back of a crowded pub with my layabout mates (this was when smoking in pubs wasn't outright banned - also when cannabis was still a Class B substance). We didn't consider the consequences of being caught - we were young, reckless, and considered ourselves immortal.
So, what's the most reckless you've ever been? Tell us, so we may judge you...

Random Acts of Destruction
I've just spent the last half hour pulling bits off a photocopier at work trying to fix a paper misfeed. Apparently I've completely fucked it. Killed it dead. My boss is ever-so-slightly pissed off with me.

What's the best thing about being an adult?
As a kid, I would have been allowed 2 or maybe 3 jaffa cakes at one time.
I just ate two whole packs and am feeling rather smug.
I like the fact that as an adult, if I want a weekly shop to consist of nothing but chicken kievs, crinkly chips and cherry coke, then that's what it will be.

Unemployment
I've been out of work for a while now...not good, not good at all.
However, every cloud must (must !) have a silver lining.
Tell us your stories of unemployment - depths you've sunk to, cheap activities discovered, steps taken to remedy the situation.
There must be some humour out there somewhere to be had from this...

Strange dates
A while back I went on a date with a (male) psychiatric nurse - well spoken, well educated, clean, pleasant - he ticked all the right boxes, hell, he was even passably attractive. However, halfway through the date he stopped talking, sat back looked at me and said, "Being with you is like being slapped in the face"
I didn't see him again.
And don't even get me started on Speed Dating.
And internet dating.
So, we've all dated oddballs, share your tales of strange dates.

Hilarious diseases
I recently developed yet another bout of Bell's Palsy, a disease whereby half your face refuses to respond to commands, like other palsies, only a lot less diseasy and a lot more hilarious - rendering me unable to wink my right eye, smile without looking like a Bond Villain, drink any substance without dribbling it and, worst of all, talk without sounding like a child's stereotype of the disabled.
What quite frankly hilarious diseases have you contracted? Points awarded for tastefully (or not so tastefully) making light of a personal trial or tribulation.
Mnell'th Malthyyyy! Mlarrr!

How many times do we have to ask: Threesome Stories!!

I predict a riot!
I'm currently sat in my office overlooking Trafalgar Square while the leaders of the twentywankiest richest countries meet to discuss how to glue the wheels back onto capitalism, so it's fair to say I'm looking forward to watching the angry crusties vs Met Polis style fisticuffs later.
What acts of protest have you ever partaken in?

Art
A few weeks ago I was dragged to a gallery on the Southbank to see some pictures of paint splattered on bits of canvas. God, it was dull. I overheard one of the posh twats say: "The remarkable thing is that she held the brush in her vagina. It really gives her work a feral quality." I felt like telling these people about the stipper with the lipstick who played naughts and crosses on a fellas chest in a club in Florida I was in once, but thought better of it.
Art - what the fuck is all that about, ehh?
