Question 9 - Would you pay a pound to ask a question on a blog like this? Really?

Thank you, anonymous person, for this question since I can use it for nefarious marketing.

Personally, one pound would not be a lot of money for me to spend on getting an objective opinion from an intelligent (and handsome) person.

There are some questions that we can't ask our friends (e.g. should I tell Bob that I stole twenty pounds from his wallet sixteen years ago? OR should I tell my significant other (of only two months) that I've suddenly decided that I'd like to quit my job and travel for five years before or after I hand in my notice at work?).

And there are some questions which there is no point in asking our friends (e.g. why is the sky blue? - if none of our friends have studied science past the age of sixteen).

And there are some questions so abstract that they can only be asked of a complete stranger (e.g. I feel a pressing need to confess something to somebody but can't think of an appropriate 'sin' or 'confessor' - the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that this isn't even a proper question).

If you know someone who can answer the question for you, then ask that person - don't pay me to do it. But if you're not satisfied with their answer or don't have anyone qualified to take a punt then put it up here.

And why ask it here rather than on one of the many 'answer' websites? Well, with most of them you're holding up your question to anyone who happens to be passing the website and fancies having a go, regardless of their level of maturity or intelligence (also known as the general public, in all their wild variety and wide-eyed wonder).

Put a question up here and it will be answered by me - using all the intelligence and maturity that I can muster.

Short answer: Yes. Really, yes.

But ninety-one more lucky questions will be answered free!
