This is a question 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.)

Hangover hell
I used to be able to drink for Britain and wake up bright as a button, nowadays (i.e. today) it's no longer the case.
Hangovers have led to a variety of embarassing brain dead and/or physical errors, we've heard all your drunk stories, lets hear what happened after the boozing stopped.
A special prize will be awarded for the most amusing story not involving sick or shit.

Food-related fuck ups
Did you manage to burn the water? Or maybe you poisoned the in-laws (might not be deemed a fuckup that one...).

Tell us your best and worst food-related yarns.

Whats the most decadant you have ever been?

Cock Story
I once was getting jiggy with an ex, when we realised the only condoms we had were flavoured ones. After I put one on and we looked down, the mood was destroyed by our laughter - I had put on an apple flavoured one, which is green. Needless to say, my throbbing member looked like the Incredible Hulk's dick.

We've had boobs stories, lets hear about your amusing cock related tales of mirth. (RE: Not another wanking disaster story)

The games we used to play
I don't mean computer games.
The stuff we used to HAVE TO make up. I was always Velma with my brothers in our Scooby-doo adventures from the Mystery machine (the bottom of the stairs) and we would make communication devices for our star-trek missions from mums pop up jewellery boxes with hand drawn number pads inside.
Never mind the 'You have to die from a chosen weapon game'.

Eccentrics
Weve all probably experienced them in our day to day life meanderings.
We may even be one of them.
From the guy who sits on the pavement outside the library who tries to grab your hand and order you to take out anything by Hemingway or die ignorant, to the old lady at the end of your street who always wears a big straw hat covered in fake flowers all year round.

Bread.
There was a lot of moaning about the most recent QOTW. I think it's time to prove that there is no such thing as a bad question and we can get good answers from anything (except possibly Mix Tapes). So, what has happened to you involving bread?

I didn't mean it like that!
I was just walking down the street in central London and happend to walk past a restaurant window. The restaurat was packed and closest to the window was a family of 6. As i walked past i put a cigarett in my mouth and the smallest member of the family, a boy of 3 or 4, saw me do this and pursed his lips and blew a rasberry at me. I pulled the cigarette from my mouth and pursed my lips, as if whistling, and blew back at him as as a mark of respect at what a cheeky little chap he was.

I then looked up to see the remainder of the family staring back at me and immdediately realised that they thought that this man in a suit had just been blowing thier child a kiss through the window...

.. share your stories of when you wanted to point out "I didn't mean it like that"

personal injuries and the fun side of tablets
i fractured* my right talus nearly 20 years ago and since then have enjoyed a shed load of MASSIEEEEVE DRUGS** and all for free.

Drunk Parents
When I was little, every sunday afternoon my dad would return home from the working men's club and start doing the 'telly dance'. This consisted of him swaying drunkenly in front of the TV (the rest of us were trying to watch the Eastenders omnibus), whilst eagerly telling us about how he nearly bought a jack russell terrier off a gypsy for a fiver, or such like.

What do your parents get up to when they're drunk?

Videogames
When I was much younger, I was working on a driving game for the PSOne. As a result of end-of-project crunch I was regularly driving home along dark country roads at about 3am after finally finishing work, whilst sleep deprived after yet another day of manipulating pretend futuristic vehicles around a circuit at speeds in excess of 300 KPH.

Driving in this bizarre mental state was not in the slightest bit safe, and I can now attest to the fact that there are significant handling differences between made-up cars and a knackered Metro. A Metro can't drive on walls, for example, though I did come perilously close to forgetting this on one occasion.

My best mate once claimed to have dreamt he was a Quake server. Not playing Quake, mind, but being the server. Spawning power-ups for the other players and keeping score. I've dreamed Bejewelled on more than one occasion.

How have videogames affected you?

P.S. Also, I almost punched aforementioned mate in the face once over a game of Soul Blade. But in my defence, he was unfairly abusing the Ring Out mechanic.

Health and Safety nightmares
I am sure that we have all done think things that would give the safety reps, at our places of employ, absolute nightmares.

What have you done that breached the rules to give the "elfins ayftee gone mad" brigade something to chew on?

I actually used a set of three steps to reach a high shelf - I told them that I'd been on the course but, if I was totally honest, I didn't even know there was a course. The steps, which were all of 18 inches high had their safety certificate firmly attached, though - so I knew I'd be alright.

Vomit stories
I worked for a woman once who went out on a business lunch. Unfortunately she got very, very drunk and so took at taxi back to the office with her colleague. She felt a really sick on the journey and wasn't sure what to do.

So she pulled the neck of her shirt out...
Threw up inside her shirt...
Carried on as normal...

She was so drunk she thought that her colleague hadn't noticed.

Tell is your fav throw up story.

The Elderly
The Elderly are without a doubt my favourite animal. I'd happily watch a six part BBC documentary about them and their odd little habits, but alas, they won't open their doors to strangers in case the knife crime they've heard so much about barges right into their living rooms. Instead, tell us about some of the old folk that you've met.

What is the most disgusting gross thing you ever did?
I was sitting on the bog, pondering my current project at work, deep in thought I absently minded wiped my nose with a tissue. Not normally a problem except that I had only a few moments ago used this tissue at the other end...

"Wow this tissue really stinks" I thought... "OH GOD GAAAH NOOO!" I thought almost immediately after.

Shitty nose.

What bowel-wrenching retch-worthy disgusting gross things have you done or had done unto you?

Very public acts of stupidity
I've just been out to the shops and as I came down a road, there was a car abandoned in the middle of a junction causing big tailbacks.

The reason for the abandoned car? Some muppet had parked illegally and been clamped but decided to try and drive off WITH THE WHEEL CLAMP STILL ATTACHED to the wheel.

It didn't work, the whole clamp just got rammed into the wheel arch.

What acts of gross stupidity have you done in public for all to laugh at?

The Arts
I once got invited to a friend's book launch, hosted by a publisher of some repute. Having ruthlessly exploited the free bar and introduced some literati to flaming sambucas, I generally slung very graphic language about the place before getting both myself and the author kicked out by doormen.

Books, galleries, theatre … tell us of your experiences in the world of high art.
