Vote #531
Question:
Alright, so for those of you that don't know, there's been a sub text to some of the more recent vote questions. I've been working away trying to convince myself to get a new car and I've finally taken the plunge and bought, not one, but, two cars. Well, a truck and a car. The truck is more for everyday use and I did get myself a GT-R because, well, it's a GT-R. Anyway. I've had my previous car for 8 years before taking this plunge and I got to thinking that I really don't spend money very often. In fact, it might be more than 8 years ago since I treated myself to some new underpants. Should I continue my spending spree and splash out on some undies?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
I thought the answer to this question would be a resounding yes, but why change the habits of a lifetime I guess. I'll be honest, the thought of getting new underwear is rather daunting. Well, not so much the new ones, it's more trying to figure out how to get the old ones off. Probably a bit like old wallpaper - peeling and scraping.

Question:
Well, I've got the truck, but I haven't yet got my little baby. I'm supposed to be picking it up either Tuesday or Wednesday assuming all goes well fitting the hand controls and I don't have any work emergencies that need me to run after. Will I get my new car this week or will there be hiccups?
Results:
Yes - it will be fine was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes - it will be fine (75%)
- No - hiccups (25%)
Analysis:
Things are moving fast. I thought I was already on the next question which I'm not going to save for two weeks time. Anyway, my baby is here and I'm exceptionally happy. There have been hiccups along the way and probably some more to come. The “breaking in” schedule is rather interesting. First 300 miles go really slow. Next 300 miles, go really slow and bounce the suspension up and down. Next 600 miles rev the tits off it and shift manually. The last bit has me slightly worried. You're only supposed to use the first 4 gears because that only takes it up to 150mph. I'm rather thinking I need to just get it done - get up early and go for a 600 mile drive in first gear .... ouch.

Question:
We'll come back to the car later I'm sure. This week, however, we're going to run a question from William's soccer. During the game this woman (not sure if it was the mother of one of our players or the opposition) started shouting “come on boys, get it up”. Which of the following thoughts came to mind upon hearing the woman shout “come on boys, get it up”?
Results:
I bet that's not the first time you've said that was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Good call (0%)
- Nice encouragement (0%)
- You'll need to put a bag on your head first (0%)
- I bet that's not the first time you've said that (60%)
- Draw straws to see who goes first (0%)
- I'm glad she's not talking to me (40%)
Analysis:
It was indeed “I bet that's not the first time you've said that”. I like that boys is plural. Makes me wonder how many ... and of those, how many were not able to get it up?

Vote #534
Question:
I have a feeling this is going to be a long, but fast week. I have a crazy amount of work to do, then it's off to Vegas to watch Guns n Roses with Mr O, then onward to England for the Thanksgiving week. Will Mr O and I enjoy Guns n Roses this Friday?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
It seems like a decade ago now given that my server went down for two weeks and I haven't been able to add a vote question. But yes. Both Mr O and I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. What's more, so did Sam the Virgin Atlantic Service Manager on my flight the following day. Apparently she was at the concert too. I think we all agreed that the main reason we went was to see Slash, but I don't want to take away from anyone as it was a fantastic concert that lasted about an hour and 40 minutes.

Question:
Alright, so we've been offline for two weeks now. I'm not entirely sure what happened - my computer appears to have frozen right as I left on my trip back to the UK. There was nothing I could do remotely, but as soon as I got back, I rebooted and we're up and running again. To make up for the missing questions, this week is a two parter. And not only a two parter, but one where we endeavor to provide you valuable information from our field research team. So, you've miss-timed your drive to Heathrow airport and get there 10 minutes before you need to board your plane. Fortunately you're in upper class, so you can breeze through security. Once through you realize you can use the lounge, but don't have a lot of time, but you decide to stop by anyway. A) Can you put a Virgin bacon bap in your mouth in one go? B) Are the staff impressed with your ability to intake food in one go?
Results:
A)Yes b)No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- A) Yes B) Yes (0%)
- A)Yes b)No (100%)
- A)No B)Yes (0%)
- A) No B) No (0%)
Analysis:
I guess nobody's interested in this as I appear to be the only one who voted. I believe it is possible to force one of the bacon butties in your mouth in one go. I didn't try it, so I don't know if anyone would be impressed or not.

Question:
Given the distinct lack of participation in last week's vote, I have to ask the question - is there anybody there?

- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Pre-Result Discussion
Analysis:
Ah! So the problem appears to be that the vote email didn't go out last week. I've not changed anything as there's no reason it didn't send the email out, so we'll see if it decides to behave itself this week or if I need to go in and fix something. Anyway, looks like the majority of folks are still here.

Vote #538
Question:
I'm back in England again for the holidays. How cold will I get playing Pokémon during the break?
Results:
Warm and Brass Monkey tied with 33% of the votes each from the following:
- Warm (33%)
- Cold (17%)
- Very Cold (0%)
- Freezing (17%)
- Brass Monkey (33%)
Analysis:
A really interesting spread of votes. An inverse bell curve. Is that a vagina curve? Possibly a future vote question. Anyway the two extremes tied being warm and brass monkeys. I have to say, the weather has been changeable. There was one day that was freezing, but the rest has been reasonably good. Cold, but reasonably good for the time of year.

Question:
It didn't take long into 2018 before Trump started tweeting stupidity. The most fun one of the year to date for me is the one where he flops it out and compares the size of his button to that of Kim Jong-un. When Trump measured his button, did he do it from the base or the balls?
Results:
Balls was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Base (20%)
- Balls (80%)
Analysis:
To be honest, I bet he thinks he's a horse and measure it in hands ... using his diddy hands. But yeah, you know he's going to take the measurement that makes it look bigger.
