Well...what I thought would be a pretty straight forward week has really become quite the open contest!

Zits have got to go in, for me. I never really suffered with them in my youth, but I know people who did and it's pretty horrible. I occassionally and unaccountably get one on the top of my head. As a bloke with no hair I look like I'm wearing a red siren for a week. No a good luck.
Zombie movies almost got my vote as I have no interest in them whatsoever. I just don't get the appeal.
I have no problems with zips and have never had a 'mishap'

fortunately i didn't do horrendously with zits. a few like any teen but not the horror zombie face of -say- wayne hennessey during the nine in a row, where i was surprised he could see for them. they probably kept the ball out at least once or twice.
the original, sixties, 'night of the living dead' is very good, and i liked 'the walking dead' and 'shaun...' too, but there are far too many. even the last couple of romero ones have been dreadful, and not in the way you want a horror film to be. fast zombies were only briefly interesting, and now i'm bored of the whole genre.
i have managed a minor foreskin trap (that sounds like some terrible 'soccer saturday' skillz b*ll*cks), but you can have a couple of other irritating problems with them. either the teeth of the zip don't line up properly so once you've zipped something you need an iron grip and arms like fatima whitbread to unzip it again. or you get coats (one of my winter coats at the moment does this) where the lining material gets trapped really easily in the zip, and you reach a point where it won't go up or down and you just have to take the offending garment off over your head. zips for me, so i've just fired in the voting equaliser. if a tie-break is needed, i'm calling arsene wenger - i know what he's going for...
i haven't been rude enough to suggest other options previously, and i know this is cheating, but anything that idiots append a 'z' to, like the aforementioned 'skillz' or 'bantz' etc, really annoys the f*** out of me. it might feature at the end of the word, but when it does, it's a consistently annoying 'z'.

I'm worried now as I am the only one who voted for zombie films.... Do I get the casting vote? Brings a whole new meaning to whotsit?

If you want to change your vote to one of the others, ceefer, you can?
Either way, my Google image search history in the office is looking distinctly suspect since CHIVE started.
'Dear Google, please could you supply me with pictures of spotty teenagers and someone catching his gentleman's sausage in his fly? Ta'

Technically time is up, and we have a draw, but I'm going to wait for ceefer to respond as to whether he wants to change his vote before doing anything else.
Hope that's ok.

That's the end of that then. Zits go into the vault, and complete our A-Z of the most horrible things in the world.
Thanks to everyone who took part, and for getting their entries to me each week. Hopefully it was a bit of light relief to pass the time between matches.
Our new A-Z will be starting shortly... stay tuned!
