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.)

It's a small worldOnce, me and my mates were on a train to Staines in anticipation of a rather jolly jamboree at Thorpe Park. We were in a first class compartment, along with a rather smart looking man along with leather briefcase.
Anyway, we started the usual inane chatter that 15 year old guys talk about, and I spotted a Tiny Computers brochure on the seat next to me. Being a rather opinionated young man, I started to go off on a rather large one about how Tiny Computers should bugger off and refund every one of their customers on account of their PC's being shite; as I stupidly currently owned a troublesome Tiny PC, which crashed every few hours. (I used slightly more colourful language, but we won't go into that)
But getting to the point, after about 5 minutes of Tiny slagging, the smart man piped up and said with a slight smirk on his face: "I actually used to be a managing director of Tiny, but I resigned thanks to moaning customers like you."
Cue a look of shock on my face, and a rather awkward silence for the rest of the journey.
Do you have any stories of amazing coincidences that prove that it really is a small world?
