Question:
Things aren't looking too good on the health front. Will I make it through the week without another trip to hospital?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Interestingly enough I did and things seem to be moving in the right direction. I did have to go into one of the clinics, but that was a pre-scheduled visit, so can't really count that.

Question:
Congratulations to Lewis on another British Grand Prix win. Doesn't look like anyone's getting close to the Mercedes this season. It's just going to be mistakes that allow other drivers and teams to steal a few points here an there. How many tires do you think Lewis will have on his car next week when he crosses the finish line?
Results:
0 was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- 0 (67%)
- 1 (0%)
- 2 (0%)
- 3 (0%)
- 4 (33%)
Analysis:
It made me laugh when I just read the vote results. That would be a great ending to a race to see a car sliding across the finish line with no wheels on it. The correct answer was, however, four as we didn't have the tire issues this week that were there last week. Huge congratulations to Verstappen and Red Bull for figuring out how to beat the Mercedes.

Question:
Looks like there's a lot of focus on Chinese and Russian threats right now. It's almost as if there's an election or something coming up and someone wants to demonstrate that they're looking after National security. Have you loaded all your secrets onto Tik Tok before it gets banned?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
Ah, some of you have yet to get all your secrets into the hands of the Chinese. Let alone all those government secrets masked as people farting on camera.

Question:
I was making dinner last night and I had a tin of baked beans with it. Poured the beans into the saucepan and patted out the beans. Then you look inside and there's a few left that you poke out with the stirrer. Looked back in and there's a bean or two left and I get into this mode of thinking - I've paid for you, I'm going to have you and start poking to get the last bean out. It seems to drop into a battle of wits where it's as if the last bean has become sentient and is clinging onto the inside of the can for dear life to save being plucked out and being cooked. Anyone else make sure they get the last baked bean out the tin?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
I can't believe this vote is split. Obviously half of you don't know that the last bean is the tastiest bean of them all! I have to say, right after setting this vote question, I had a tin of ravioli and one of them tried to cling to the tin. Definitely not leaving that bad boy in there.

Question:
The track bug is back again and I want some work done on the car (again). Nobody seems to respond to messages though. I've sent a note to a company that's supposed to be pretty good. Will the company I messaged get back to me this week and be able to do the work I want on my car?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Sadly, they did not. It's really hard to believe that I want to spend money and nobody wants to take it. I'm actually stuck with the dilemma of whether to move on to the next company or try other methods to get hold of these folks. The thing its, they could be really good at what they do and really bad at admin, but then again, if I can't get hold of them now, what chance do I have if something goes wrong?

Question:
I was playing Apex with Paul this weekend and, as normal, getting too intense. I came out with a plan of what I thought we should do - something like push up the hill and take the team on to the left. I was expecting either an agreement or disagreement to my plan. What I got was commentary on a hedgehog that was outside of Paul's window, followed by an update on the hedgehog population. Are you concerned about the decline in the UK's hedgehog population?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Yes indeed! We're all concerned about the UK hedgehog population as it's declining. The good news is the Louisa has taken it upon herself to rescue them. Working with Paul, they've turned their garden into a sanctuary. Banging on the window to scare the foxes away. I have to be honest, I didn't figure foxes ate hedgehogs as I thought they protected themselves by curling into a ball. I thought foxes just scavenged rubbish bins these days, living off what humans throw away.

Question:
We have to turn the question back to COVID I'm afraid. I was given a branded mask this weekend when I went to the track. Nice thought. Shame it didn't fit. I think I've got a rather large noggin - or at least the gap between my ears is quite big (even if it's empty). Anyway, I get that you have to wear a mask when you're out to stop the spread of air being expelled from your mouth. Should you put a mask over your arse before you fart in public to stop COVID bum air from circulating?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
The thing with these masks is that they do help if someone is coughing and spluttering in that it stops their germs from flying out towards other people, but it doesn’t actually stop you from breathing in bad things if you are close. This was proven out in Safeway after going down an aisle after some woman had shit herself. Not literally. In the passing of wind sense. These masks clearly do not have any kind of filtration unit on them. That said, I do think it’s polite to pop a mask over your arse if you’re going to fart. Particularly if you’re a woman and shop in Safeway.

Question:
The great philosophical question: if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Well, we’re not here to answer that one, but we do have a similar conundrum. If Louisa quacks at the ducks and they fly away, does it smell?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Ok, so this was yet another nature question based on the updates I get from Paul as to how the UK countryside is doing. Well, at least a small part of Leicestershire anyway. So, apparently, he was feeding the ducks and Louisa let a rather loud one go. It scared the ducks away. Paul believes it was because they thought another more territorial duck was approaching, but the alternative view is that the smell drove them off. I guess we'll never know for sure.

Question:
It's time to think about the future and looking to where I should invest. Should I put the EastBayRag billions into HSBC to take advantage of their money laundering and ponzi scheme services?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
A split decision on where to invest the EBR funds. It's always difficult managing the multi billions of dollars that this website brings in on a daily basis. I often get calls from Bezos, Gates and Zuckerberg wishing they were as adept as I am in this regard. On reflection though, probably best to steer clear of any scams.

Vote #680
Question:
I feel that I need to ask the ultimate question that I presented during a training course this week. Many of my colleagues shared work related questions, but when asked what my burning issue was, I presented my group with this: Should I stick with the GT-R and manage the heat and weight issues or change to a different platform?
Results:
Buy another car was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Stick with GT-R (40%)
- Buy another car (60%)
Analysis:
Interesting that folks want me to buy another car. It actually looks like I'm going to stick with the GT-R and get some work done on it. If anyone is interested.
