Question:
An interesting weekend. Where exactly is Newport County?
Results:
Wales was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- England (0%)
- Scotland (0%)
- Wales (75%)
- Northern Ireland (0%)
- All over Leicester (25%)
Analysis:
I like that the majority of people gave the actual physical location, but I'm going to give it to the folks that answered “all over Leicester”. I'm guessing this was Mr O. I will congratulate Newport County on a great victory over Leicester. Leicester who just got great results against Manchester City and Chelsea. “It's a funny old game!”

- On time (75%)
- Drones (25%)
Analysis:
My flight to Seattle and back was on time and as smooth as can be. Hoping for the same this week as I'm going up again.

Question:
Congratulations to Tom Brady for successfully managing to get through the scrum of reporters after the Patriots victory in the SuperBowl. Honestly, next year they should just line the Patriots up against the media to see if they can break through and score a touchdown. Looks like they'd put up a pretty good fight given how they were all leaching around. Do you think the other New England Patriot players were annoyed that the press seemed to only want to talk to Tom Brady?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
It's kind of weird. I'm sure the other team mates didn't care, they're probably just hyped by the fact that they won the Superbowl. It was a bit ridiculous though how the media just swarmed Brady, even though he wasn't the best player out there. I guess the focus is making it about one person as that sells more ad space maybe.

Question:
Alright, so my phone did a huge update this week. Not one of those updates that just fixes bugs, this was one of those ... I know you've sent your phone up the way you want it, but we're going to clear all your preferences and return the device to its default settings. You know, keyboard changed, ringtones, sounds the whole kit and caboodle. Anyway, while at William's soccer this weekend, I noticed that my phone was reporting it was on a 5g network. When William finished we looked at his phone and it was on 4g. So I gave him a whole ribbing about being outdated and being a whole g behind me and that the rest of his life would now be meaningless. I'm assuming the update was to facilitate connecting to a 5g network, but I can't help thinking about that Red Dwarf episode where Rimmer says "step up to red alert" and Kryton replies "are you sure, it means changing the bulb". I do wonder if this update was just to load the graphic that appears on my phone as opposed to actually doing something. Anyway, are you comfortable with the number of g's your phone gets or do you feel there's room for another g or two?
Results:
No - I need more g's was the clear winner with 83% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes - I'm good for g's thank you (17%)
- No - I need more g's (83%)
Analysis:
You can't have too much power I believe may be a quote by Clarkson. I guess the same applies to G's. We all want more bandwidth so our phones perform faster. I'm definitely getting old as I used to be on top of what was being rolled out and what the major differences were, but this one seems to have caught me by surprise. That said, I don't know many people who have experienced the power of 5g yet. Obviously I put it to full use and played Pokemon on it, but you wouldn't expect anything less.

Question:
NASCAR season is underway. Today as I write this question marked the start of the season with the Daytona 500. Congratulations to Joe Gibbs on bringing home a 1,2,3 which was even more amazing when you think that there were only really half a dozen cars running at the end. It was outstanding to have 3 cars running at the end, let alone sweeping the podium. Congrats to Denny Hamlin for ending up top of the pile and beating his teammates. I'm probably not going to watch that many races again this season, probably just those I physically go to, which brings me to this obvious question - cake or pie?
Results:
Cake was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Cake (67%)
- Pie (33%)
Analysis:
Wow, I’m genuinely surprised at this answer. Probably because I prefer pie, but I guess I’m in the minority.

Question:
It’s that time of year again when I’ve been on the planet for another year and head to Vegas to watch the NASCAR. So, happy birthday to me and let’s ask the annual question. Will we see a Uncle Jesse at the NASCAR race in Vegas this year?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
Sadly there was no sighting of Uncle Jesse at the racetrack, but the waitresses at one of the restaurants we go to we’re the same.

Question:
Time for a high brow question. Did the person who used the toilet before me reach a seating position before his arsehole gave way?
Results:
Ewww was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (0%)
- Ewww (100%)
Analysis:
Ewww indeedy. Based on the the spray on the wall behind the toilet, I don't think the prior user either a) made it to the seating position or b) managed to remove his trousers in time. It appeared that the seating area was [relatively] clean and just the wall had suffered.

Question:
Another wonderful question from Sin City, but this one from the return flight. My tray table wouldn't come completely down because the spillage from the woman's leg seated next to me had leaked onto my seat and was preventing it from going all the way down. You know you're in for a wonderful flight when the person jumps into the seat next to you and says that the arm rest needs to stay up otherwise they won't fit. Are you happy when someone encroaches into your space?
Results:
Ewww was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (33%)
- Ewww (67%)
Analysis:
Another ewww indeed. It's one of those things with Southwest being open seating. I get on and grab the aisle seat. Someone invariable gets on pretty soon thereafter and grabs the window. You then spend the rest of the boarding time looking for the thinnest (or prettiest) person and hoping they will take the middle seat (if it's to be taken at all). This was one of those unfortunate times where Fatty McFatFat grabbed the middle seat and proceeded to melt across into mine. I couldn't see past her to see if she was inflicting the same amount of pleasure on the person in the window seat.

Question:
Sitting here at the end of the weekend thinking about another wonderful week at work. Should I walk towards the light?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
This is an interesting question as walking towards the light seems to have multiple meanings. Generally associated with death and walking towards the light of the afterlife, but also light at the end of the tunnel. Anyway, I did as the votes said and walked towards the light. Good job I did - I'd left the fridge door open.
