Question of the Week suggestionsEach 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.)

Stunned silencesI took my then seven year old to the annual interisland championship final football match. Standing next to hardcore opposition fans we were aware of some "ripe" terrace chanting but managing to resist responding "for the children's sake" when aforementioned child wanting to fit in with the rest of the crowd leaps to his feet points at one particularly large, balding and rabid gentlemen and screams "You fat pasta". Entire section of terrace goes silent then sits down unsure of how to proceed. I didn't have the heart to correct him (but do blame myself).
Have you ever witnessed/caused the silencing of an entire group of people?

Pure and simpleWhilst getting a rousting for not doing my homework I just sort of told my Geography teacher to "Fuck off and leave me alone"
Now in this day and age I dare say this is common but back when things were a little more formal and they could still hit you with things and almost get away with it I was really out on a limb.
