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.)

I don't mean the biggest gift or most money you've spent, but the things you've done, just to see them that night.
My example would have to be when i knowingly stranded myself in an unfriendly town, with no money or place to stay, on a cold night in December.
I didn't even have a coat and i knew that after she left, I would have to wait, alone, in almost sub zero temperatures, for up to 5 hours, until the trains started again.
After almost an hour on a park bench, i realised it would not only be impossible to sleep, but impossible even to stay sitting still, as the cold was becoming unbearable. I knew i was no way within walking distance of home, but i knew i had to keep warm.
So the next 4 hours saw me walking the same 2 or 3 mile circuit around town, shivering my nips off, with the song All Night Long by Lionel Richie mercilessly repeating itself in my head.
It was worth every moment.
