Vote #481
Question:
I guess there's one really important question that we haven't asked yet on this site. One question that really does underlie a lot of what we are about and how we go about things. One could say that it's a question that peer's deep into the souls of an individual. Do the ends justify the means?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 83% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (83%)
- No (17%)
Analysis:
I do think this is an interesting question. Yes seems to be the consensus and is consistent with my thoughts. I tend to think it's results that count .... how you get there matters, but generally is forgotten in the long run. I guess we'll see shortly whether grabbing pussy or deleting emails is the means to the White House end. Two candidates that you could argue would be better off serving time and yet one of them is going to be leading the most powerful nation. (OK, so China may be the most powerful nation, but it's pretty close and you know what I mean). Anyway, I digress.

Vote #482
Question:
Alright, so I've spent the day looking after William and 18 other kids for his birthday party and I'm fresh out of ideas for this week's question. Much as it pains me, the only topic that is dominating everything right now is the presidential election. Which is the lesser of two evils?
Results:
Email deleting was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Pussy grabbing (40%)
- Email deleting (60%)
Analysis:
Well, it's not going to be long before we find out. Not a lot in it here and there's not going to be a lot in it in the actual election. The voters here just edging for deleting emails. The one thing I did find really funny this week was some show or other talking about how litigious Trump is and wondered if he was going to sue any women for attacking his hand with their vagina. Anyway, I don't really have a side which is pretty cool as I don't have a vote either. Whichever mess we're left with, I have plausible deniability.

Question:
It's spooky time again, Halloween is here. Are you going to dress up for Halloween?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (40%)
- No (60%)
Analysis:
Halloween came and went without me noticing. I didn't actually see anyone dressed up. Nobody came to my door looking for candy (which is quite lucky as I didn't have any). I didn't dress up. And to be honest, I didn't even realize it was Halloween until half way through the day. Looks like most of you didn't bother either. For those who did, hope you have a great time!

Question:
This week's vote question may seem completely random and not make much sense, but there's a whole back story to it that will be revealed in the subsequent analysis. Well, revealed unless I receive sufficient bribe for my silence that is. So the question is simply - are you injured?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (25%)
- No (75%)
Analysis:
So the story starts at William's soccer. I had Mr O in town and we went to watch William play in his local league. I have a couple of fold away chairs that I got off Amazon. Now, to be honest, their quality is not the best and they do sag a bit low when you sit in them. One has a broken arm rest and the other was unused, so new. Being the perfect host, I took the broken one.
Anyway, the game concludes with William being subject to a 7-2 thrashing and Mr O makes the comment that he might find it difficult to get out of the chair. The big disappointment I have is that I wasn't able to grab my phone to get pictures or video of this. So, Mr O lunges forward, but doesn't quite make it up and falls back into the chair. The chair topples back, but after sufficient flapping, Mr O prevents it from going over backwards. All seems fine except that one of the supports has snapped at the joint. Another lunge forward and Mr O again makes it half way up, but again falls backwards into the chair. This time the force is too great for the chair. Another support snaps and the whole thing topples backwards.
So at this point the turtle is on it's back with its arms and legs waving in the air. I mean Mr O is rolling of the floor trying to separate himself from the chair. A concerned parent comes over and asks if he's OK. I would have answered for him, but couldn't on account of the fact that I was laughing too much. He mumbles something to the effect of being ok, rolls over and gets up. Well, gets half way up and collapses on the floor again.
This obviously causes me to start crying because I'm laughing too much, even though during this time I've managed to get out of my chair and am in the correct upright position. Owen's laughing, but obviously not convincingly enough as the woman starts asking “oh my god, are you injured? are you injured?”

Vote #485
Question:
Well, it looks like America will be getting a new president. It seems that most presidents want to make an impact and leave a legacy. Given that Trump's immediate focus is immigration and his wall, will Trump's wall be visible from space?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (40%)
- No (60%)
Analysis:
Well, last I heard, it was going to be more of a fence than a wall in some places, so you could be right. Unlikely the great fence of Trump will be visible from outer space. I'm sure he'll be disappointed with that, but there's probably a race of aliens somewhere quite pleased that it won't blot the view out of their living room.

Question:
'Tis the wondrous season of Thanksgiving over here and I'm headed off to Disneyland with William. I'm going to be spinning, turning, roller coastering and everything else that's going on there. Am I going to be sick on a ride at Disneyland?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Disney was fantastic and no, I was not sick. Yes, I did go on all the rides - many of them several times. I'll post some pictures shortly, but unfortunately I woke this morning to learn that my mum had passed away.

Question:
There's not going to be a vote question this week. I woke this morning to learn that my mum had passed away this morning and I don't feel like setting a question. The vote question is created automatically and rather than change the code I'm just going to post this no vote.

Vote #488
Question:
Well, time to get back on the road as I face a trip to Denver then Atlanta. Quick weekend and it's off to San Diego and then back in the Bay Area for a day and it's time to head back to England. Wait, what? It's Christmas already. If I want to order anything off Amazon it needs to be done in the next couple of days if it's going to arrive before I leave for the holidays. Is it just me or has Christmas crept up on you this year as well?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Hmmm, it doesn't make me feel any better to know that I'm not the only one who's allowed Christmas to creep up on them. I think I'm about seeing the end though - I've got pretty much most of the stuff I need to do done, so I think I'm set now. One thing I do know for sure is that it's been a hard year. I'll be glad when it's over.

Vote #489
Question:
There seems to be a lot of talk about Russians interfering with the US Election. Before the election, there was the issue of Trump not accepting the result. So both sides anticipating some conspiracy. Do you think the US election was rigged?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (80%)
- No (20%)
Analysis:
Wow, so I'm the only person that doesn't think it's rigged. Look at you lot trying to rationalize something you don't understand. You can't believe it happened so you're looking for some kind of answer to explain. Sometimes things are just the way they are. Sometimes people are too stupid for their own good and need saving from themselves. In a democratic society, stupid peoples votes count just as much as smart people.

Question:
We made it back to England and are setting up for the festivities and the not so festive funeral. Tomorrow we're off to see the local pantomime. Will I enjoy the pantomime?
Results:
Oh yes you will was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Oh yes you will (67%)
- Oh no you won't (33%)
Analysis:
Oh yes I did, very much indeed. We ended up going on an afternoon where the entire seating section was taken by the South Kesteven Primary School, so we had the best the pantomime could offer with screeming kids shouting “he's behind you” and the like. During the interval, the teachers handed out tubs of ice cream which brought a momentary silence to the crowd, but it soon resumed as proceedings restarted.
