Question:
Need to do a vote question and not really in the mood to be creative. Back to work fully on Monday. Will the 10k egg I'm hatching get me a new pokemon?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (25%)
- No (75%)
Analysis:
Bit of a lame question. The answer was most definitely no. I got an Eevee from that 10k egg and not even my highest CP Eevee. Just a basic one with a few candies. Probably the worst outcome I could have had. That said, this past weekend has been kind to me on the rare Pokemon front and we now have our Pokedex up to 123 and we're at level 25 which, for someone who's only playing occasionally is pretty good if you ask me.

Question:
We have to turn our attention to the Olympics given that it's ... well, the Olympics basically. I've been watching it on and off this week, but somehow can't really get into it until the track and field is in full swing. Are you following the Olympics?
Results:
No - not interested in it and Yes - but waiting for the track and field tied with 40% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes - following all of it (20%)
- No - not interested in it (40%)
- Yes - but waiting for the track and field (40%)
Analysis:
A mixed bag then with some folks following and others not interested. I have to be honest that I missed quite a lot of what I wanted to see. I was recording these highlight shows that seemed to only show things like volleyball, judo, boxing, handball and rhythmic gymnastics. Not the track and field that I'm interested in. Not even regular gymnastics which I quite like. Anyway, congrats to team GB for an excellent showing!

Question:
I did the vote analysis last night, but then forgot to set a question. Something to do with traveling to Seattle and forgetting it was Sunday. Anyway, figured out the omission, so let's set the question. Should people who travel on a Sunday be allowed to travel?
Results:
No - they are idiots was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes - everyone is equal (0%)
- No - they are idiots (100%)
Pre-Result Discussion
Analysis:
It's a catch 22. I love traveling on a Sunday because the airports are quiet, but the people who are there don't travel on a regular basis and get stuck at security or struggle to understand the boarding process. You also have a lot more people staring at monitors trying to figure out which gate their thoughts leaving from .... obviously not trusting the gate number printed on the ticket. The most annoying thing for me is that people who travel at the weekend just stop when they're slashing on the concourse. It's like they're trying to make an obstacle course for me. In the week, folks just know where they're going and go there.

Question:
After long discussion with my GI doctor, I'm back trying some medication that caused me problems in the past. It's a risk to try it again, but the upside is pretty high. I've started on a low dose and so far so good. Will I be able to tolerate the drug I've been put on?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Well, I've gone a week with no effects so things are looking good. That said, I'm only on a low dose right now so it's a bit early to declare victory, but definitely on a good place.

Question:
It looks like I'm going to be going to Disney over the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm kind of excited and worried at the same time. It has a high probability of either being really good or really bad. I either throw myself into it and enjoy it for what it is our I'll get upset with it for being what it is and I'll be grumpy. Will I enjoy Disney this Thanksgiving?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 83% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (17%)
- No (83%)
Analysis:
Ha, ha, ha ... all ye of little faith! I'm the only one that thinks I'm going to enjoy my trip to Disney. I think you'd all be surprised at how excited I am about going. I've rented me a scooter thing so I don't have to walk round and got everything sorted. I'm going to have a great time. Of course, the thing you're all missing is that the entire park is full of Pokestops that are constantly lured, so I can play Pokemon Go the entire day while we sit in queues to get on rides. I'm going to have a fantastic time.

Question:
This week's question comes courtesy of the BBC website. On that site they're running a quiz to determine which Star Trek captain you are. A series of rather humorous and irrelevant questions - a bit like those personality quizzes I've done oh so many times throughout my career. You know, the ones that are supposed to be insightful as to how you work and all that. Anyway, I obviously leaped in and took the quiz, so it's time for you to guess - Which Star Trek captain am I?
Results:
Janeway was the clear winner with 43% of the votes from the following selection:
- Archer (0%)
- Janeway (43%)
- Kirk (14%)
- Picard (29%)
- Sisko (14%)
Analysis:
Before anyone gets too upset, Pike wasn't one of the options listed. Not my quiz, don't complain to me.
Anyway, apparently I turned out to be a Kirk with the BBC's website offering me the following comments on my personality "It is very fortunate that, among your many gifts, you were blessed with an excess of charm, otherwise your occasionally headstrong and foolhardy impulses may well have left you in real trouble, abandoned by your loyal crew and left to rot in a Starfleet cell. Mind you, these qualities also make you exactly the right kind of person to lead a five-year mission to seek out new life and new civilizations. You're gung-ho, impulsive and emotional, but also a fantastic strategist, and with the help of your exceptionally loyal friends, this makes you practically indestructible."
As I said in the question - rather amusing don't you think!
Janeway! Seriously?

Question:
I've done a fair bit of driving this weekend and definitely think that the standard of driving is going down. That said, there was one set of drivers that stood out particularly today that results in this week's vote question. Did they fit the Toyota Prius with indicators (turn signals)?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (33%)
- No (67%)
Analysis:
It appears that they did fit them with turn signals, it's just that nobody who's bought one has figured out how to work them. Similarly, nobody who's bought one has realized there's more than one lane on the freeway and you don't have to sit in the outside lane blocking the traffic for everyone.

Question:
Well, it seems as if Leicester's start to their premier league title defense has not commenced as planned. It looks like it's going to be a hard season, but where do you think Leicester will end up this season?
Results:
11-14 was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- Top (17%)
- 2-6 (0%)
- 7-10 (17%)
- 11-14 (50%)
- 15-17 (0%)
- 18-20 (relegated) (17%)
Analysis:
11 - 14 seems to be the most popular answer and it's what I voted for too. I have to be honest, in prior years I've always considered 14th an achievement, so I'll be really happy if we end up in this range.

Question:
I've just started watching some tv series that involves mythical creatures. Sort of a poor man's Lord of the Rings. Which mythical creature do you associate with the most?
Results:
Giant was the clear winner with 33% of the votes from the following selection:
- Beast (0%)
- Dwarf (0%)
- Elf (17%)
- Giant (33%)
- Goblin (17%)
- Imp (0%)
- Ogre (0%)
- Treefolk (17%)
- Troll (17%)
- Wurm (0%)
Analysis:
Quite a spread of answers to this question with Giant just pipping the other options. I went with troll because ... well, I'm very troll like I think. No particular skills, just big ugly and smelly.

Question:
My world of Pokemon Go has been turned upside down this week since Niantic introduced new security procedures that have stopped all the scanners from working. The funny thing is that I'd only used scanners once before, but it's way more fun than the basic game and, after having used them, it's hard to go back to trying to find pokemon blindly. The folks that make the scanners are are looking to find ways around the new security. Will the scanners be back up this week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
Apparently they're close, but sadly no donut. The scanners have not been brought back yet. Best I understand it, the team is working hard to crack the necessary code and hopefully they will achieve it soon. That said, it's been raining all weekend, so I haven't had the chance to be out that much.
