Question:
While back in England over the Christmas holidays I was told my daughter that played pokemon with me looked really good. How old is my pokemon playing daughter in England?
Results:
40s was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Teens (0%)
- 20s (0%)
- 30s (0%)
- 40s (60%)
- 50s (20%)
- 60s (20%)
- 70s (0%)
- 80s (0%)
- 90s (0%)
Analysis:
I had somewhat of an ah ha moment when looking at the results of this week's vote. So, to the question of how old does my daughter Ms L look, the majority and lowest was 40 with votes also in the 50s and 60s. Which made me laugh. Poor old Ms L not looking so great. But then I had that “hold on a minute” reaction. If she looks like she's 40 at a minimum and people think she's my daughter. How bloody old do I look? (And no, that's not the next vote question).

Question:
I've got my thing here, down the Bay Thursday, got to do this, go to LA on Tuesday/Wednesday, Back down the bay Friday and the doohickey at some point. Hmmmm. Should I get my hair cut on Monday?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (80%)
- No (20%)
Analysis:
The answer was indeed yes, I should have gone to get my hair cut on Monday. I did not, however, go to get my hair cut on Monday as I ended up being really busy. I did manage to squeeze a trip to the barber's in on Thursday though so my locks are back down to a respectable length.

Question:
The new year is upon us and the first month is all but done with. It's time to start looking forward to the March NASCAR race. Mr O has already booked his flights, but is waiting on me to book him some internal flights and appears to be getting rather antsy because I've not done it yet. Should I book Mr O's flights this week or make him sweat a bit longer?
Results:
Sauna time for Mr O was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Book 'em Danno (40%)
- Sauna time for Mr O (60%)
Pre-Result Discussion
Analysis:
OK, so I did actually intend to book the flights on Monday and this was just a distraction question, but unfortunately I didn't get around to it and then ended up traveling without my computer so didn't get the chance. I'm actually flying out at 4:00am on Monday, so this isn't on the cards to get done at the beginning of next week. But it should get done next week at some point. So just another few days in the sauna.

Question:
OK, so I came back home today to watch the Superbowl. When I say watch, I really mean to have the TV on in the background while I was doing other stuff. So I kept popping away from the TV and every time I came back there were commercials. Was there any American Football played between the commercials for the Superbowl?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (40%)
- No (60%)
Analysis:
I'll be honest, it's a job to know. I actually went out and chased down some pokemon during the game, so did miss quite a lot of it, but it honestly seemed like more commercials than anything else. Then there was the half time show which is still an alien concept to me. I know it's now as much part of the show as the game itself, but that kinda seems like the problem to me - it should be a game and not a show. Keep the things separate. But, that would kill the marketing revenue, so it is what it is and there are a lot of commercials. Anyway, congratulations to The Eagles for a fantastic win. Always good when the underdogs win and they did play an excellent game. The bits I did see were pretty exciting and I'm sure there's been a lot of partying in the streets of Philadelphia.

Analysis:
Ha, ha! The answer was no. I did not need to jump on a plane last week and head to Houston. I have to jump on a plane and head to Houston this week. Then to Orlando the week after. Not much time to myself really. At least in the week, anyway.

Question:
It's always interesting when someone new stumbles onto this site. Well, generally not a stumble and more because I've told them the site exists and curiosity has got the better of them. Interestingly they seem to get drawn to this page - the vote question. Almost like there's a hope that I'm going to come up with something illuminating and thought provoking. To the extent that they are waiting for next week's vote question. Why is DC texting me to find out in advance what this week's vote question is?
Results:
To placate you and get another ride in your car was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- Because she has nothing better to do (17%)
- Because she thinks you're amazing (0%)
- Because she loves you (17%)
- Because her dream man likes sausage too (0%)
- To placate you and get another ride in your car (50%)
- To fill a void in her life (0%)
- Because she was hoping for a better question than this (17%)
Analysis:
It's always the car isn't it! I saw a stand up comedian do a routine on cars - might have been Dave Chappelle, not sure. Anyway, it was all about guys buying cars as bait for women. Probably true. Although I think Mr O was looking for a ride in it when he comes over.

Question:
Happy birthday to ...?
Results:
You was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Me (33%)
- You (67%)
Analysis:
Interesting, two people voted for &liquor;me&required;. One of whom was me because it was indeed my birthday. Now, it is possible that someone else out there shares a similar birthday. Like Pikachu who has a birthday on Febrauray 27th. Or someone got confused by the question and was trying to answer as if they were me. In other words thinking that they were wishing me a happy birthday by voting for me, when they would have needed to vote for you to have meant me. And you should always answer as you and not as me. So the answer, in this case, would have been me and not you as you will always be you and I will always be me. But when you are talking about you, that is, in fact me.

Question:
This week’s vote question comes courtesy of life on the road as a consultant. So, we were away in Texas and had to extend our stay by a day. We were in the middle of nowhere in a small hotel, but it did have laundry. This meant that we needed to clean clothes for an extra day. Would you share a washing machine with a colleague to do laundry?
Results:
Yes - I would share was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes - I would share (75%)
- No - that’s disgusting (25%)
Analysis:
This is actually an interesting question as people I've spoken with seem to be very divided. There are those that don't care, but those that do seem to be vehemently against it. It's like one of those things that really just get to some people. I'm like that with feet. Hate them. Can't thinking anything worse. But couldn't care less about sharing laundry. It's in a washing machine with detergent. It's going to be clean whennuut comes out.

Question:
A component of my job is designing, building and implementing Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Essentially the digital workforce. And robots appear to be taking over many routine tasks, including driving. Do you think robots will cause high unemplorment?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
A divided result. There are those that say well just find jobs for the folks being left behind and those that believe we will have high unemployment. I guess we'll find out at some point. I do, however, think that robots will have an increasingly significant impact on our lives.

Question:
I'm back on the road again with all of its joys of flying out Monday, returning Thursday. Pretty much sleeping on the flights ... or at least trying to. If your ass is too fat to fit down the aisle of a plane without bumping into all the passengers, should you be allowed to be a flight attendant?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
A divided answer. I'm somewhat surprised at this as I find it very frustrating. Here's the thing - airlines do that think where they put the basket by the entrance with the note something like “if it fits, it's carry on” meaning that if your bag does not fit in the measuring basket, you should check your bag. It only seems fair that at flight attendant school they should have a chair with a note like “if your ass fits, you can be a flight attendant” otherwise it's off to baggage handling for you. Listen, I've nothing against fat asses. Quite the opposite. But there's a time and a place for everything and I don't particularly want one banging into me when I'm trying to sleep.
