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.)

You ruined my childhood!
No, not letters to paedos, but rather, what did you use to love, but when modernised has sullied the whole memory?

Yeah, I mean Star Wars, but what else?

Denial
Expound on denial in all it's forms, except those that reference water based holidays in Egypt!

For example, tell us about the time you tried to get into a strip club and were turned away, or when you told everybody you really weren't addicted to World of Warcraft, whilst you spent 16 hours a day sat in your own filth. Neither of those are being pulled from personal experience by the way.....honest.

Nosey parkers
When I worked in an open plan office I could nosey in to the intimate details of my co-workers. As delicious it is to know something you shouldn't has it ever gone too far?

One afternoon I overheard the chap I sat next to confessing to his wife he had run up 4 grand on credit cards, which had been mostly spent on drink and online poker.

Bullshit merchants
What is the biggest lie anyone has tried to slip past you and how have they tried to cringe their way around it when you have shown them you aren`t buying it, and they are sussed?

"The cheque`s in your mouth" and "I wont come in the post", etc.

Outrageous lies in the internet
Tell us of outrageous lies that you've seen on the internet (or in the news) that have been de-bunked, and SHOW PROOF. Back it up with a video clip or other proof that someone, somewhere, has prevaricated in public.

No points will be given for merely calling bullshit. Back it up or shut up.

What I found when I moved house
Having just moved I'm delighted to discover the "immaculately presented" home I've bought has some "amazingly dangerous" wiring bodges. Likewise my lovely lady won't let me clear out 1 particular cupboard at her old house.

Things that you believe are true, that are clearly not
I once argued the case that tiramisu was a Greek pudding so convincingly that the whole office believed me... until somebody Googled it, and my credibility crashed like the American credit rating.

Simple innit
Someone once said that for every seemingly insurmountable complicated problem there’s an obvious simple solution…that is invariably wrong. I reckon he was talking bollocks and that guy down the pub has been right all along. What simple solutions do you have to life’s imponderables.

What about a rant?
How would you fix Britain / the US / Oz etc?

I'd force sterilisation on anyone that went to the supermarket in their pyjamas for one.

I'd put the obesity clinic on the ninth floor and put the lifts out of order - while making attendance at obesity clinic a condition of receiving benefit.

I'd also stop Child Benefit for anyone on higher rate tax.

And I'd return pub closing time to 11.00 and not allow alcohol to be served in clubs after that time.

I'd also introduce 'slow lanes' on pavements.

How the hell did I not die???
When I was a wee fella I decided to climb the local quarry. I was about halfway up when I realise the climb was not nearly as easy as I suspected. My foot slipped and I fell for about 3-4 feet before catching a ledge and working my way top the top. On reflection, had I missed that ledged I would be TheDeadFella.

Pray tell, when did you have a miraculous escape?

Swearing

Just in case
The flip side of my suggestion below (almost).

I noticed in our bathroom cabinet this morning, an almost empty pot of hair wax stuff. I know for a fact that I've not used it since we moved here two years ago, and probably not for a couple of years before that, but I've not binned it. Lack of hair, and what's left being shorn to a 'number two' would seem to render it superfluous to requirement.

But... you never know, the comb-over may make a comeback, in which case it will come in handy again.

Mrs G regularly carries a spare bra in her bag, just in case....WHAT???

What do you keep handy just in case?

Money well spent
About ten years ago I bought proper hair trimmers for about £25. They paid for themselves in about two months by removing the need for haircuts. They must have saved me about £1,500 over the last decade and have cost nothing more except a bit of electricity.

In these cost-conscious times, tell us about the brilliant value for money purchases you've made.
