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.)

Shit free gifts
Somewhere near the beginning of secondary school some representatives from a particular bank came in to talk to us about giving them money and what not. To help enticesnare us we were offered a free CD! Well, I was sold. Being a HUGE music fan at the age of 13 I could get a free album that none of my peers would have even heard of. Hmm..Green Day’s Nimrod, perhaps. Or New Found Glory’s eponymous album. Oh I would be the talk of the schoolyard.
I hurridly filled in the paperwork, turned to the last sheet, about to demand my anarchic disc when I see a series of checkboxes.
Oh.
Small print you bastard.
The "Free CD!!!" was a choice, from a list of about 8 options.
Attempting to make the best of the situation, I thought a hilarious choice was in order: Big Willie Style. Oh how I chortled at the thought of everybody opening their matching Definitely Maybe’s as I pulled the greatest rap album in history from its cardboard prison. But what’s this? That’s not Will Smith. And what’s this note say? “Sorry your choice was unavailable, we hope you find the replacement suitable.”
I peered down as the laugher around me crescendoed and saw this:
