The biggest lie I ever told
Come on, out with it. What was the biggest fabrication you've made up? Did you get away with it? Did it snowball and snowball until it ended up making the national news? How much of a prat did you look when you got caught out?

Volunteering
Here's one that's not been done before and could be good.

I learnt how to speak French at a month long conservation holiday in the Pyranees in 1983 - I celebrated my 21st birthday there and my brother turned up on his motorbike specially and spent a noisy night in the big communal dorm with the eldest member of the group.

Several years later, I escaped from Mrs G and newly born Sprog for two weeks footpath repairing in the Lake District and was sorely tempted to be unfaithful.

What have you lovely, giving souls got up to while ostensibly giving of your valuable time for a good cause?

Tight Bastards
When I first moved to London my ex housemate treated me to a guided bus tour. But rather than fork out a tenner for an official tour he treated me to a trip on the 88 bus from Camden to Clapham - took fucking hours and had to stop every couple of hundred meters to let mad women on with their pushchairs and to allow the bloke who thought he was Jesus to get off before he vomitted everywhere - but I did see the sights. And it only cost my mate a quid.

Tell us about the tight bastards in your life.

Your first experience of self pleasure.
I remember it like it was yesterday (it wasn't).

I was listening to the radio whilst in bed, awaiting sleep to overcome me. Not sure what was on the radio, but it was just talky talky.
Then I had a wank.



How was it for you?

Terrible service
Kind of a reverse of customers from hell- service from hell. What is the worst kind of service you've ever received? Did the workers at McDonalds spit in your coffee? Or did your pizza delivery man try to kill you?

Unfortunately, they exist and they plague our towns.

Also unfortunately they invade our lives, usually for small amounts of change, a cigarette or a fight.

What encounters have you had with this variety of Human Being and what was the outcome?

Outside the box solutions
I used to have a boss who would distract me for ages whenever I asked even the simplest of questions. To give him the hint he was taking too long, I'd reduce the time it took for my screensaver to appear in the hope he'd be reminded he was taking ages.

So tell us about your hacks, bodges, or any other 'outside the box' ways involving unorthodox thought patterns of solving a problem.

Kindness Gone Weird
When you've tried to be nice to someone and help them out and things have just gone peculiar. For example I've been on dating sites and some guys just like to be talked through a wank. I feel a bit mean saying no to some of them and so talk them through it. I am trying to be kind and charitable and sometimes get a bit out of hand. So to speak.

Encounters with weird people.
I know we've had "eccentrics" and "I met a weirdo on the interwebs", but there's a lot of members, and these stories never seem to get old. I remember when I was on the bus, and saw a (pretty attractive) girl wearing a Fantômas T-Shirt. I liked the band, so as soon as I got off the bus, I turned and said "Cool shirt. They're a great band". Anyway, I started walking home, and until I got within about 7 metres of my house, I turned around, after having a strange feeling in the back of my neck. It was her. She'd been following me all the way from the bus. She asked me what my favourite song of theirs was, and needless to say it all got a bit weird. It got even worse when I learned she lived about 15 miles away. Surely there are more tales of strange experiences with even stranger people?
