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.)

a mate and I
Have started going around town to noisy pubs on a Saturday night, and I've taken to listening to dubstep. I do this in spite of going grey, having hairy ears and eyebrows that make me look more and more like an owl.
How is age affecting you and what are you doing to stave it off? Anybody having a mid-life crisis?

As a hitchhiker, one of the things I noticed was the array and size of stuff simply lying at the side of the motorway.
It's an invisible world that few people see - I've seen countless tyres and wheels, cushions, teddy bears, and even a whole wardrobe once, with nary a mark on it, when I was on a junction on the M6.
Tell us about the weird stuff you've found and seen in weird places.

Camping
I recently had the shittest camping experience of my life while working at a music festival. The staff camp site was, according to google maps, just over a kilometre away from the end of the runway of an international airport. I never got more than ten minutes sleep over the two nights. Surely people have better or worse than this?

We're all going for a summer holiday!
I've just got back from a weekend away at my holiday caravan on the mid Wales coast. It was sunny, peaceful, and beautiful.
So, in your opinion, where is the best place to go for a holiday in the British Isles?

Beginner's Luck
Yesterday the boy put a 2p into one those amusement arcade 2p machines - you know, the ones where the coins teeter on the edge of the aperture over the collecting tray - and won a prize (albeit a small plastic mini pull-it-back-and-let-it-go car). He'd never played one of these machines before.

Once in a lifetime...
On 28/05/11, I, with 29 of my team-mates, ran out onto the hallowed turf of Twickenham to play a game of rugby. For most of us, I think you'll agree, this is a once in a lifetime event.
What once in a lifetime events have you had? Anybody who says "being born" will be stabbed in the neck and/or abused mercilessly.

Have you ever been caught out by the weather?

Looking at Springwatch being filmed in a dry area 5 miles away from my caravan, we realized we'd been done over.

Pedantry
As I posted on the Off Topic board, I noticed that people had a habit of criticizing my overactive shift finger, and from this somehow managed to convince themselves that this meant my IQ was lower than algae.
So my questions are...
What is the most pedantic thing you've ever done or said?
Alternatively, or not, what is the greatest amount of pedantry you've ever faced?
