Unanimous agreement around the table that we should be talking about the , who died at the age of 90 on Tuesday. Pete suggested that not only should we be looking at whether or not he should be given a state funeral, but reflecting on Nelson Mandela's reaction to his death.
In a statement Mr Mandela said: "While to many Mr Botha will remain a symbol of apartheid, we also remember him for the steps he took to pave the way towards the eventual peacefully negotiated settlement in our country."
A debate is already up and you can add your thoughts to it .
The results of a global sex survey has also raised a few eyebrows around the room. A poll of 59 countries by the medical journal, has found that people aren't losing their virginity at ever younger ages, married people have the most sex, and there is no firm link between promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases.
Obviously a huge survey and something everyone can talk about, given the variation of findings from different parts of the world, but what's the global question?
Steve suggested we ask, does your religion or culture affect your sex life? Great question, it gets a thumbs up from us all.
Marks suggestion about getting Peter Simpson of Britian's Daily Telegraph in to the studio to take questions about North Korea is also well received.

The United Church of Canada says water is a precious resource and should not be bought and sold like any other commodity. The Church is launching a campaign to persuade people to stop buying bottled water and already, many of its more than 3,600 congregations have stopped serving water at church functions. What do you think about it?
We're going to see if David Hallman, the church's director of energy and the environment would like to take part in the show and take your questions.
Quite a lot to get through, but as soon as we've narrowed down the main contenders, I'll let you know.
