Personal Revelations
Recently I had a bit of an epiphany with the help of a close friend, specifically to stop being a bit of a pussy and get the remaining crap areas of my life together. What moments can you share that involve you performing (or helping someone to perform) a personal 180?

What I did in the holidays
About as interesting and imaginative as the last two anyway.


EDIT: That should be last THREE now.

Something funny
Anything.....please...just something that will produce properly funny stories.
Remember the good ol days when reading QOTW would provoke real laugh-out-loud moments? when you would click back a few hours later to find another 4 pages of excellent stories had appeared?
We have gone an awfully long time with some pretty tiresome questions now. :(

The Final Straw
Before we go into new years resolutions that won't get kept, how about we talk about the moments that caused you to change something significant (or not) in your life. What was the final straw for you?

peculiar habits
everyone has them, right? Like for example I go down on one knee to pee (only in nice toilets mind) as it makes splashing not a problem and I don't have to concentrate on my aim. My wife says it looks like I'm proposing to the loo.

Santa's not real kids...
How and when did you find out? My moment was fifth class primary when teacher decided we were old enough to know resulting in half the class erupting in tears and many complaints being recieved due to the schoolyard fallout.

Sinking Feelings
You knew it was a bad idea but you did it anyway. You discovered a crucial piece of information that you are beginning to suspect you really needed half an hour ago. You realised immediately after you stopped talking that you'd just stepped in a massive pile of figurative horse-shit. You wondered why everyone was giving you that look all day, then you found out. You watched events unfold as though in slow motion, knowing exactly what was going to happen but powerless to stop it.

I've heard that "music be the food of love"
but not all music is good for getting the moment right. I once went out with a girl who insisted on playing the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to get in the mood, which would put any right thinking person off.

What's the worst combination of music and 'love' you've ever had to put up with?

Best of QOTW
What about nominating stories from the last year for funniest, saddest, Nicest, sickest, worst, most pandering, worst trolling, most Honda Accord, etc?

Travel
Supposedly, travel broadens the mind, but we all know that it's not always great. There's a quote “If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home.” For every person that goes to far flung shores to experience something new and exotic, there are millions of Britons every year who traipse off to Magaluf for the summer, to spend two weeks complaining that the English breakfast isn't very good, the chips are the wrong sort and the poor reception on the telly spoilt their enjoyment of the Arsenal match.

What are your stories of wonderment, enlightenment, and awe, or of general ignorance and fear of all things forrin.

Christmas panic!
Somehow every year despite best effort planning Christmas preparation becomes a rushed panic. Shopping on Christmas eve when the shelves are bare and stroppy rants at the loved ones. How do you cope with Christmas and what's gone wrong for you?

A piece of music that ties you to a time and a place
NOT 'they played this at the first dance at my wedding reception' but a piece of music that, when you hear it, takes you right back to a location and a time immensely removed from where you are now.

Me? The Race by Yello was the first time I'd heard anything that needed, nay, DEMANDED a bass speaker. When I heard that, it was like aural sex.

Plane Journeys
I once spent a 13 hour flight from New York trapped inbetween two Mormons from Utah. When they weren't preaching about God, they were insisting to me that Northern Ireland was separate from the UK, whereas the Republic of Ireland was part of the UK. It was a hellish journey.

What's your story of terror in the skies?

Desperation
Have you ever been the person you see ogling everyone without a disfiguring skin condition, or carried out the most abasing and notorious acts because you were gagging for a shagging? Have your dry spells made you settle for an oily flannel? How desperate have you been and what were the results?

Jokes in which the premise is that you were so desperate that you carried out a criminal act should be kept to a minimum.

Spousal interactions
I'm feeling warm and fuzzy. What are the oddest little things your significant other does that remind you why you love them in the first place? The strange habits that make you think "She's a mentalist, but she's MY mentalist"? The curious couple-speak based on a vocabulary of shared experience?

What makes YOU warm and fuzzy? Then we can all be warm and fuzzy together.

Which will be nice. And possibly Xmassy.
