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 »
Ancient lies you will never confess
As a child/teenage you told some whoppers to your parents.....some of those secrets you would reveal 20 years later, and laugh about....some you will take to the grave.
Do you feel bad about it, or don't you care?
How did you deceive your parents, and why will you keep it a secret forever?

what the FUCK do they think im up to?
A about a week ago i was walking around and felt the need to "readjust" seeing as the area was pritty mutch deserted I turned round and fixed my crotch only to notice a woman sitting in a car id though was empty . to her it must of seemed that I had deliberately stopped walking along, to face her and grab my balls. I legged it before she could compile an e-fit, i hope she has a husband/bf or close male friend who can explain the male need to rearage for maximum comfort so i dont end up on crimewatch.

Get It right - Ever posted a comment in the wrong subject?
Erm, Thieving, What have you ever stolen or you most exciting criminal escapade? I stole a police car once and had a high speed chase which ended in a shoot out at 100mph while Motorhead were playing on the radio and I intermitently sniffed amyl nitrate. I killed them all and walked away a free man. Happy days.

Embarrasing Encounters With Gayers
Any embarrasing encounters with the same sex? At my mate's engagement party this barman saw me drunk at a table and tried chatting me up with lines like "You've got lovely hair". Me mate stopped me bottling him, and the next day I shaved me head bald.
Any good stories spring to mind?

Relatives that your family Don't Talk About.
I was talking to a lass the other day who has an uncle who's not a spy.
I found out fairly recently myself that I had a great-uncle who emigrated to Australia with his family but went a bit doolally with the heat, and took a shotgun and wiped out his family before shooting himself.
Do you have relatives that your family never talk about, and why? Or maybe you're the one that your family never mentions?

Memorable Taxi rides and drivers
Back in my dodgy Essex clubbing days we used to get minicabs in and around Romford etc but a couple of Basildon rides will stay with me:
cab ride through an industrial estate at 90mph at 2 in the morning over speed humps (I was watching the speedo)
Being offered a cig by a driver, declining, he says "Probably best, it's easier to give up heroin like I did last year, no really I'm clean"

First Post!
I think a "Most Kick ass/Wierdest/Best quote/advice you ever heard" should be a question of the week. I even have one I heard from my friend. He heard it from his dad.
Dads wisdom. "Son, never kick in your neighbors tail lights when they are watching"
That's it for me for now.

repeat
it seems to me there are a lot of reccuring subjects in qotw, therefore i demand a reopening of "flatmates from hell", as I remeber it making me laugh so hard I nearly died.
Also as part of my work decorating student houses I remeber one flat with Dave is a bummer written in foot high letters on every single wall. So I want to see if anyone knows this man, I mean is there more to this mysterious man than a studenty type who likes to bum?
come on b3ta get me my fix

Overgrown kids
I made a tent out of chairs and a blanket in my garden last night. I'm 29. My mate who is married with a kid regularly rings his neighbours doorbells when he's drunk and then runs away. He is also a bank manager. Has anyone else done something for fun as an adult that only kids normally do?

Getting out of embarrassing situations successfully
I was walking down Princes Street in Edinburgh when a SnapFax seller person came up to me and treid to get me to stop. I hate these fuckers so I tried to pretend to be a tourist by using my basic grasp of Flemish that I picked up from 2 years in Belgium. So I say "I'm not from round here" in Flemish and the SnapFax seller only fucking answers me back in Flemish, thus negating my clever ruse and giving me nowhere to hide, so I ended up parting with £3 for something I'll never ever use. Has anyone actually managed to get out of a difficult situation using amazing guile and wit? I'd sure as buggery like to know how they do it...

Your eBay stories
My friend got a projector worth around £1500 from eBay for only £200 because the seller didn't know what it was. I picked up a NeGcon for a quarter of what it was really worth. I love eBay.
What great bargains have you got from eBay? What's the weirdest thing you've bought, and were you sober? What horrors have you seen for sale (no stealing from disturbingauctions.com, please)? Have you made a nice profit from something?
Tell us your weird and wonderful eBay misadventures.

Sorry Guv'nor
Being a good lad I've never really been in trouble with the police, but that doesn't stop me coming over all guilty and shifty looking whenever a copper is around.
On the only occasion I've been stopped by the Old Bill when driving, last week, all they wanted to tell me was that a rear light was out, all friendly and helpful like.
Still got brown cacks, but I didn't have to try and think up an excuse to get myself out of the shite.
Anyone got any sure fire excuses for getting yourself out of any awkward situations you might find yourself in with a Plod?
Extra points if it's actually been used. And worked.

Nightmares abroad
Given the international nature of B3tans, it might some people's abroad might be some people's home, which *might* be interesting. But basically, anything that lets me tell my story about geing dragged to some old crones house in Dubrovnic on the promise of somehwere to stay, only to be greeted by dolls heads impaled on sticks in the garden and a huge, invisible, but still totally clear RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIVES sign floating above the place story.

When you were a kid...
What was your favourite strange game you would play on your own? I didnt have a lot of friends as a child due to overprotective parents so I had to survive like the muppet babies and use my imagination.
My favourite game was 'spiderman' where I would wear this horrible brown lycra style T-shirt with a spiderman logo and Superman pants over my jeans (Why Superman? i still have no idea) and use my mums tights as webbing. I would put a stone in one end and that way when I threw them it looked like i was shooting the web just like spidey. All was fine until I broke an antique vase fighting an imaginary Green Goblin.

What have you done for a pint?
Personally, I walked up to a girl who my friend knew, and who apparently was under the legal drinking age (although I am reliably informed was at least 16) and told her that I knew she was underage, and that she could a) buy me a pint or b) give me a blowjob. Her mouthy friend told me to fuck off, and I quite calmly explained that I hadn't mentioned an option c. I got my pint.
EDIT: Sorry, didn't realise the hostility to beer-related stories here. Ermm, how about things you've done for a dare?

NEMESIS! Who is your nemesis, and why?
Sadly I don't currently have a nemesis, but when I was at School there was this kid called Scot who was.
I remember challenging him to a 1 on 1 game of footy at lunchtime, which half of our year turned out to watch to prove who was the best player in year 4. Only he picked the better keeper to play in net for him, so he won (frankly he was better, I just woudn't admit it at the time). I got him back tho, with an overarm smash whilst playing badminton which cunningly missed the shuttlecock and left him with an inch long gash down the bridge of his nose :)

The worst thing you've ever done
I stood on a child beggar's hand and then kicked him to the ground. Absolutely true.
And I once told my whole school I was having a jumble sale for 'handicapped kids' and then spent the proceeds on fresh cream chocolate eclairs for myself.
Beat that.
