Ostentation
So, i was driving my Porche 911 through Knightsbridge after a shopping trip to Harry's (as we call it) listening to some Mahler and going to pick up Cressinda after her aromatherapy so we could go and take our place in the balcony at The Royal Opera house for the Verde preview when I saw a man wearing a T-shirt saying 'Hard Rock Cafe: Orlando' and I thought to myself that it was so vulgar. I mean, who feel's the need to show off so much that they can afford to travel to the US.

What unforgivable displays of ostentation have you witnessed or exhibited?

What question would you like to ask?
We could have a question where everyone thinks of a question themselves and then gives their answer.
It could be called "Question of the Week proposals"

Scars on your soul.
We all have bumps & scrapes on our bodies which remind us of the the dumb things we've done to get them. Many of them obvious to the rest of the world & occasionally needing explanation.
What injuries have you suffered to your mind/soul/psyche that don't show that surpass any physical manifestation?

Paranoia
Only recently I got so stressed I ended up having a panic attack. Problem was that I misinterpreted this as a stroke, at the tender age of 28. So after sitting clutching my head in the hospital for 7 hours I was eventually informed by a doctor to stop being silly and go home.

Industrial accidents
A few days ago I was assembling an awkward piece of equipment using a pair of pliers when they slipped off the thing I was gripping and flew up in the air. As I caught them against my chest I managed to snap them shut on my right nipple. This was not pleasant.

Bad news that turned out to great news really
Sometimes what seems like a bad thing, actually is a great thing.

My son played a rather over enthusiastic game of football at school last week that ended with him breaking his toe.
However, the pain is low and the school has told him that as it's so close to the end of the term, he might as well stay at home. He is spending all day playing xbox and being waited on hand and foot.

In his own words: "RESULT!!!"

Working class credentials
Do you bang on about how you're REAL working class because your granddad was a miner, even though you teach media studies at a 6th Form College?

Or are you like me. Brought up 'middle class' but have never earned as much as a bin man. Have worked in factories, bars, warehouses etc. but never thought of myself as working class.

The 'News of the World' is bought by working class people - I've never bought it. Have you?

etc.

I'll bet SLVA has some choice words on this subject!

A fair proportion of us are shit at sports, I gather, so between us we must have amassed a decent amount of injuries, humilations and crushing defeats.

In the news
Last night my train home was in a low-speed derailment and we ended up being evacuated through the tunnel by the emergency services. On the local news story about it last night I can clearly be seen in one of the shots of the evacuated passengers for approximately two whole seconds.

When have you been in the news, in either a major or a minor way?

Punishment
My old history teacher had mellowed in his years, several years before I begun my eduction at the school, he would often dangle unruly pupils out of a second floor window by their legs to remind them who was in charge.

Surely someone has better than this.

Very weird/annoying house guests
Have you every had anyone to stay overnight - perhaps a colleague you'd had to put up, friends over for the weekend, parents and relatives? Did it turn out badly? Did you find out things about them that you'd rather you didn't?

I've had a friend staying with me who I have known for over ten years. I want to kill her - she walks about muttering like an insane old lady with verbal diarrhea and keeps leaving nearly empty packets of food around - refusing to let me throw away that last nut/crisp/grape that's been sitting there for two days. It took her three attempts and two clothing changes to leave the house to go to the shop for milk. Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!

Being led astray
When has ill advice led to your misfortune. One example is when a co-worker took directions from a child known for compulsive lying. Despite the fact that he was brought to the top of a mountain he said it was worth it to see the kids face when he put him out of the car and told him to walk from there.
