This is a question 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.)

& I woke up and it was all a dream....
First day of Yr. 8 Lit. and the teacher - Mr.Giant-Ice-cream-Sandwich (for that was his claim to fame, another story for another day) laid down the law to us with - "If you ever end a story with '& I woke up and it was all a dream' that's an instant fail"
Cue me finishing every piece with said phrase. For the year. And thus failing Lit., eventho I got a prize & had work published (a Lit. teachers journal thingy - it's not like I was getting rejection slips from Penguin, Granta or Tor etc.)
So: either your best bloody-minded, stubborn effort or ending a tale with....

Exercise
I accidentally trod on a rat whilst I was out on a run last week: he didn't live to tell the tale.

What exercise/sport/gym stories do you know, do tell!

The best thing you've found on the internet
Since there's so much bickering on here about the quality of QOTWs, why not use this week's to post a link to something else you've found on the internet that you'd like to share with us all. That's how most of us first found this place, after all.

I think there are few things as displeasing as a posh child with a sense of entitlement.
Likewise, NEDs/CHAVs are rightly held to be the scum of the earth. But who would win in a fight?

Well it's the posh kids, obviously - they end up running the country, and everyone else can simply fuck right off.

Also annoying is people bandying about the phrase "You're just jealous" in lieu of a counter point. CF America after Sept 11th 2001 - "You're just jealous of our freedom(s?!)"

So - tell us about the people you've experienced in life who, through only the fault of the environment they were brought up in, which they have taken on unquestioningly, and are therefore absolute cunts in every single way.

Lets see some real venting of spleen.

Instead of telling a story this week
Think of the most scathing, caustic, and belittling replies you can think of to vent upon contributers.

Extra marks given for ill-placed conceitedness, self-importance and incredibly ironic, juxtaposed witty comment.

Valentine's Day Massacre
It's Valentine's Day next week - source of much business for restaurants, jewellers, and card shops, as well as an excuse for the soft-hearted to declare their love and the hard-hearted to grumble about how it's all just an invention of commercial interests (while not mentioning that they never get any cards).

What have been your greatest romantic triumphs and disasters?

Tell us about all the times that your IT department had an email fault reported to them,
and agreed that it was a problem with their server, and didn't say 'it's the remote server, probably they haven't got their DNS entries set up properly. Tell them to talk to their ISP', and continue surfing the web, while eating a bag of quavers and drinking coke.

Might have to extend that one by a week, we'll be overwhelmed.

My Power Trip
Im currently supervising an intern who goes to great lengths to stay on my good side.
He has resorted to eating crisps as quietly and slowly as possible, glancing over to me to make sure each laboured crunch isnt testing my patience* as it had earlier.
Descibe your moments of condescension as the superior.

Vengeance
My Dad says that in frustration at being telephoned by a fax machine at 2 o'clock every morning, he made his PC send a blank 200 page document, blank except for the last page, which read "Paper feed fault".

I don't know if he really did, but I like the idea.

Those moments when you realise someone thinks you're a cunt.
So I have just had a visit from someone who owed me money and he said he would call when he was outside. Not a friend just an acquaintance who buys gear off me occasionally. Well I heard him coming in his badboy car so walked out to meet him as I got to his car my phone started ringing. I tapped on his window and could clearly see on his phone display 'calling TURD'

When have you realised someone thinks you're a cunt?
