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.)

Pathological Liars part 2In all seriousness, I'd like to see this QOTW make a comeback. The stories in the last one were top notch and we all know a Billy Bullshit. This kid I was at primary school with played in a pipe band and was a well known bullshitter. One of his astounding claims, made when he was around nine or ten, was that the words 'dick', 'cock' and 'dickhead' came into popular use in the area due to the band he played in.
A Scottish amateur pipe band. A notoriously foul mouthed musical genre I'm sure you'll agree.
Another guy I know made outlandish claims- he'd picked up Japanese just by 'reading some books'. Japanese books. With no accompanying translation. Also claimed to speak French, so I asked him what the lyrics to Plus De Liaisons by Tindersticks meant.
I have No More Affairs by Tindersticks. His 'translation' bore no resemblance whatsoever.
Bullshitters! Tell us your stories of outrageous lies and vainglorious posturing!

At schoolPrimary I hasten to add, a guy in our year used to say that Princess leah lived next door to him. For years we begged to come round so we could meet her, until we got to aged 9 and relaised he was probably telling porkies.
