Vote #189

The following question was presented:

This week's vote question is a combination of the two trips I've just done. Quite a feeble combination, but there you go. Back in the UK I watched a bit of QI, so the question is simply which of the following is quite interesting from the Phoenix/Vegas trip?

Results:

After taking a towel my towel rail proceeded to fall off and dump the remaining towels in the toilet and Chevvy Malibu's are not ideal off road vehicles - particularly for roads marked 4x4 only tied with 33% of the votes each from the following selection:

  • I didn't eat a single burger on the trip or go into a burger chain restaurant (17%)
  • We met someone with a thick Irish accent that was from Manchester and had never been to Ireland (17%)
  • We met someone from Manchester that supported Manchester United (0%)
  • After taking a towel my towel rail proceeded to fall off and dump the remaining towels in the toilet (33%)
  • The only time I turned the TV on was to check out and I got an error and had to go to reception (0%)
  • Chevvy Malibu's are not ideal off road vehicles - particularly for roads marked 4x4 only (33%)
  • I didn't bet using any slot machine or card game (0%)
  • Between 1951 and 1992, there were a total of 928 announced nuclear tests at Nevada Test Site (0%)

towel rail saga was more funny than interesting

Analysis:

A two way tie between my antics with the towel rail in the bathroom and our aborted off road trip. Both were indeed quite interesting. I'm perplexed as to why I repeated the procedure of dumping my towels into the toilet several days running when a simple fix would have been to put the bog seat down. Seems my puny brain wasn't active enough first thing in the morning to remember what to do. Thankfully there were enough towels such that I had a replacement to dry myself with after soaking a couple of them. Regarding the aborted trip, we did try to get across the dirt road, but after a couple of loud bangs and scraping noises coming from the underside of the vehicle, we decided to abort and return the way we came. Given that the advice is that you can't get mobile phone reception on that road, it seemed like the safest option was to admit defeat and retreat to fight again another day.
