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.)

Tell Us Your Story »
Wrongly Accused.
Have you been accused of doing something you didn't do?
Did you then go on to escape from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground?
Are you still wanted by the government and survive as a soldier of fortune? Do you and your comrades help people with problems, if no one else can help, and if they can find you?

Change
We had mid-life crisis the other week, but what about big life changes in general.
Has your life been turned upside-down by marrying a man with three teenage kids? Have you just been made redundant after 15 years' hard service? Did you lose a leg and an arm in Afghanistan?
Stories about money found down the back of the sofa are allowed, but for fuck's sake, make them amusing.
As for me...OK, I'M GOING THROUGH THE CHANGE. OK????????

Please banhammer Rory, tell us how YOU want Rory banhammered
I don't want Rory banhammered, because he's LOVELY.
But Misery McUglywife wants him banhammered, so it might be worth asking this question here just to find out how many accounts Ringo has. Then we can pull off his rubber mask to find out that he was baldmonkey all along.

Se7en
Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, gluttony.
Sounds like a good night out to me, but let's hear your tales of sinning against one (or more!) of these.
Or, you could suggest some new ones...

Things from B3ta that have appeared in real life
At a wedding last week a guest eating her starter commented "My soup doesn't look too happy..." to which I immediately shouted "SAD SOUP!" much to the confusion of everyone else present. What things from B3ta have you seen in or brought to the real world?

your most boring story.
what's your favourite anecdote - peppered with people nobody else knows or cares about, replete with wonky narrative, unnecessary exposition and unwarranted self-importance?
then the mods can simply ban everyone from qotw except for ringofyre, have a bottle of scotch fed-exed to his house and we can all get on with our lives.

Lie Amnesty
Admit to all the unconvincing sex lies you've told in previous weeks. We'll all pretend it didn't happen and you can scrape back a little of that dignity you've been bleeding onto the internet for the last few years.

Getting someone else fired
A recent incident when I forgot to NSFW a link on twitter that Rob Manuel clicked at work (I would have though "double fisting to glory" would be enough of a warning) got me thinking, have you ever gotten someone else fired and not yourself? Saying "you're fired" to someone else does not count, it has to be from something you did.

Mugs.
I've got an Avengers mug, and two heat-sensitive Tetris/Pac-man mugs.
The Avengers one is mine, nobody else is allowed to use it, ever. The other two are given to guests based on how much I like them. Pac-man means I like you more than if you got Tetris. If you have neither, then stay about from my house.
What sperglordery do you indulge in, even though you're obviously perfectly normal and not a creepy internet weirdo?
