Question:
Heaps of fun this weekend back out on the track. Are Monday mornings better or worse after a good weekend?
Results:
Worse was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Better (25%)
- Worse (75%)
Analysis:
I definitely feel that Monday's after a good weekend are worse. There's that feeling that you want to make the weekend last longer and all you've got is a week of work to look forward to. That said, I do think weekend's are better after a long week at work. Makes you feel that you're getting away from it.

Question:
Living in the States, it's easy to forget the dangers of the UK and how we had to traverse the countryside wary of wildlife. What is the UK's most dangerous animal?
Results:
Bee/Wasp and Cow tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Bee/Wasp (50%)
- Horse (0%)
- Snake (0%)
- Spider (0%)
- Dog (0%)
- Cat (0%)
- Cow (50%)
- Deer (0%)
Analysis:
So, it does actually depend on which website you look at to determine the answer to this question and also the year. I believe the actual answer is horse, which would have been my guess just thinking about the number of accidents riding. The TV program I was watching said the answer was cow. I had to laugh, but it's actually the forth most dangerous animal in the US too. William found this fact really amazing and I think he was thinking that cows attacked people whereas it's more the case that they fall on them or crush them against something.

Question:
Just watched an extremely good F1 race and thankfully the results stand, so congratulations to Max Verstappen. Without going into the specifics, there was an incident where applying the direct application of the rules may have resulted in a different decision from applying the intent of the rules in conjunction with the specifics of an incident. It is, however, an interesting topic as I've observed that some people are really happy when there are strict rules defined as it means they know exactly what they should do and how others should behave or act, whereas there are others that feel that rules are only a guideline and we should be allowed to bend them. Do you feel that rules should are there to be strictly applied or there as a guideline?
Results:
Rules should be strictly enforced was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Rules should be strictly enforced (67%)
- Rules should be a guideline (33%)
Analysis:
This is an absolutely fascinating question in my opinion. I firmly believe that most people need rules and expect them to be strictly applied. There's a lot of social aspects to this which can be seen with the good old queue. Queue's are there to be orderly and whilst they can be annoying, everyone is happy that they are going to get their turn when it comes. But introduce a queue jumper and the rage within is set free. I also think, however, that most people believe that rules should be in place and be strictly enforced, but think it's ok to break if it's something minor - the white lie or speeding as examples. I honestly can't grasp the concept of rules and truly believe they're just guidelines. I've never felt that rules need to be followed and are just a person / group /society's opinion on what should be done.

Question:
After a July Fourth week where I've done very little except sleep, we thing of the phrase the city that never sleeps. Which is the city that never sleeps?
Results:
Chicago and Las Vegas tied with 40% of the votes each from the following:
- Beunos Aires (0%)
- Chicago (40%)
- Las Vegas (40%)
- London (0%)
- Madrid (0%)
- Mumbai (0%)
- New York (20%)
- Sao Paolo (0%)
- Tel Aviv (0%)
- Tokyo (0%)
Analysis:
So, all of these have been referred to as the city that never sleeps. The reason I asked the question is I heard it used to refer to New York and in my mind, it's Las Vegas. Apparently New York is the original. Chicago is what the movie refers to. Las Vegas got named it because of the 24 hour nature of the place. Not entirely sure about the others, but hey!

Question:
Well, I've got one more week to go before I'm on vacation and it seems like I've got a monster week ahead of me. But is it really? Is the last week before a vacation harder at work?
Results:
No - it's an illusion was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes - it's harder (25%)
- Yes - because you feel guilty so work harder (25%)
- No - it's an illusion (50%)
Analysis:
I think it is, but seems like most folks disagree. It might be me and just that general paranoia of thinking you've forgotten something before you travel. The old “did I leave the gas on?” syndrome. Maybe because I travel a lot, I don't worry about any of those things as kind of know I've done them, so the next thing to worry about is if I've forgotten to do something at work before I leave. Anyway, who cares? One more day to vacation!

Analysis:
The answer is indeed a chuffing lot. I had to laugh the other day. He’s sat there playing xbox tooting away various tunes and he says to his buddy online “I didn’t want to hear the you need a mega dump.” Well, at least his buddy knew he needed to go.

Huzzahs! My brakes have been fitted. Car isn't quite ready yet as they had to order some oil for it, but it should be good to go before I get back.

Question:
The summer holiday is at an end and it's time to return to the States. This biggest risk to the journey is likely to be the trains. Will my train leave Grantham on time this Tuesday?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Ha ha ha ha ha. 100% of the voters said yes and 100% of you were wrong. The train leaving Grantham was about 15 minutes late. We had 10 minutes to connect in Stevenage and therefore missed the connection. We did get the next train and made it to Gatwick in time to get our flight, so it ended up being ok, but the experience with the UK train network is simply that it's ridiculously unreliable. None of the services we booked ran on time. No connections were made.
