Anyone on the list will have seen this in this week's newsletter, but for those that aren't, have a shufty at

http://www.spinelessclassics.com/b3ta.pdf

It's a huge PDF compilation of the top three answers to each Question of the Week (200 of them).

There's some sublime stuff in there biggrin

I've been looked quite poorly on by my family since last christmas. I have a dark sense of humor which was proved when i bought my younger brother who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder a set of "day of the week" socks then a month or so later took away the friday socks.

I don't think my mum will ever forgive me for the day of fun she had trying to convince my brother that he can wear Saturday socks on a Friday.

This happened not to any chav, blonde, tourist, American or anything of the sort but to little old me. Not saying something stupid, more doing.

I had to plumb in a new washing machine a couple of years back. I undid the compete U-bend assembly beneath the kitchen sink, which meant that the plughole now drained into thin air.

I emptied the skanky old water from the washing machine hoses & U-bend into a bucket, then poured it.... into the sink. Water everywhere, all over me, the floor and everything in the cupboard beneath the sink. So, cursing myself for my sheer idiocy, I duly set about mopping up as best I could and wrung the remains into the bucket.

Which I poured into the sink.
And general lol-provoking stuff like that.

Some bloke said:
A few years ago at Oxford Uni, my housemate was given the task of
looking after Stephen Hawking just before he was due to address the Union. Presented with the opportunity to speak with arguably the world's greatest living scientist, perhaps to learn something about the fabric of time and space from this genius, the only thing my mate could think of to ask him was:

"So, er... how fast does that chair go?"
Unfazed, Professor Hawking replied: "I'll show you!", floored it (if that's the right term) and zoomed off down the corridor.
Brilliant! clap

Just got this mental picture of Steve flying down the corridor at a thousand leptons, people diving for safety left right and centre!! hehe

I'm going to bump this for no reason other than I think it deserves a wider audience tongue out
