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.)

your choice
There are a lot of closed questions that I bet a lot of people feel they missed. So my suggestion is that anyone can put an answer to any closed question.
Either that or something involving traveling in foreign countries. Did we do that? Or Part 2 of customers from hell. I thought that one was really funny. Option 4: Times you've wasted money in terrible ways.

Weddings part 2
I was at a wedding this weekend, and everything went to plan. Since it has been getting on for seven years since the last weddings QTOW I think its time for the newer members to tell tales of when things didn't go so well.

Stuff you think is really clever
I will use Jimi Hendrix as an example, for street cred, but actually I think he's shite, and the thing I think is really clever is a differential.
What person, thing, invention do you gawp and say 'fuck me' at?

Unsolicited Freebies
What have you received that you didn't ask for or expect?
In the last month I've got a Pixies album from Amazon that I don't think I was meant to have and ordered a watch, was charged once but sent the same order twice. Whilst this makes me happy I bet others have got even better stuff.

Inspirational people
Outside my local hospital some years ago I saw a man sitting outside, in a wheelchair, who had both legs and his right arm amputated. He was truly inspirational. He had managed to light a cigarette, using matches, on a ridiculously windy day.
Who has inspired you?

PM for a week
If you were the Prime Minister for a week, what changes would you make? What laws would you add or remove, which country would you declare war on, which section of society would you victimise etc? Would you be hailed as a glorious leader or crudely excecuted during an uprising from your downtrodden populace?

Stuff-ups on the phone.
I once saw at least $10,000 go up the spout because someone misinterpreted what I said on the phone and didn't call back to check. What snafus have your telephonic experiences caused?
