Apparently September 30th is ask a stupid question day - who knew❓

So here are my questions, yes plural, I am female and always want more!

Who decides what the theme of the day is and when they should fall❓

Is there really such a thing as a stupid question❓

Surely anything that helps someone get clarity is a bonus 🤔

What do you think❓

Feel free to ask your stupid question - I can't promise an answer but I might know a man who can🙃

What do you really want to know about the ODG ❓

(posts and runs, will look at the responses after it's had a few days for you to ask - keep it sensible please😁)
