Question:
Alrighty, I’ve had a week off. Now I have three days of work, then I’m off for two weeks to England. It seems like forever since I’ve done a vacation flight and I’m racking my brain on what I need to take. Will I forget something when I come back to England next week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
So far, so good. I’m back and I don’t appear to have forgotten anything. It’s always possible something will pop up, but I’m going to declare it for now.

Question:
Right, I’m back and all is good. There’s a heat wave and the UK is expected to see record temperatures. How many days will it rain while we’re in Scotland the following week?

Analysis:
I probably should have asked this question this week so I could post the answer. I will come back and post a comment with the answer. In the meantime, it looks like most people think it’s going to rain every day more or less.

Question:
Ooopsie, forgot to set the vote question last week. One of those instances where I remembered, then forgot, realized I missed it, meant to update on Monday, forgot on Monday, then just thought “fuck it”. Anyway, the holiday is over and I’m back State side. This week I face the joy of going for a colonoscopy as well as working. Will this week be good or a pain in the arse?
Results:
Pain in the arse was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Good (20%)
- Pain in the arse (80%)
Analysis:
In fairness, the whole procedure thing went really well. It’s just the prep that’s unpleasant and …. Well, yes, a pain in the arse

Question:
A very pleasant weekend. I spent most of today up the coast chatting to a friend overlooking the sea. Was honestly very nice and relaxing. Did I miss my calling to be a professional loafer?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
Honestly, the thought is so appealing, but I do think I'd get bored very quickly. I can't do beach holidays for that very reason. I end up getting bored. The only time I've managed to go on the beach is when I was younger and that was mainly to sweat out the alcohol and stare at the girlies.

Question:
Very limited inspiration right now, but I am looking forward to next weekend and the return of F1 after the summer break. Definitely looking to see which teams have made improvements with their cars. Will any of the other F1 teams be able to challenge Red Bull and Ferrari?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
Honestly, I have to say, after several weeks wait, that was rather disappointing. If your name didn't begin with Max and end with Verstappen, it was a pretty bad weekend. Max absolutely obliterated everyone. He just seems to have got stronger and looks well on his way to his second world championship. A lot of races to go, but I can't see anyone stopping him right now.

Question:
This week's question is again dedicated to my talented Apex friend - the one and only Paul. Renown for his ability to fall off the map, I think he did himself one better this past weekend. Is it possible to fall off the Apex map if you haven't been on it?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Apparently it is. In an amazing show of skill, Paul managed to fall off the map. We resurrected him and he dropped straight off the res ship and missed the map. The only thing I regret is that I didn’t clip it as it really was funny. Made even more so by the fact that our random teammate hadn’t said anything all game and came on the Mike to say “bro, you gotta stop fucking dying!” Little do they know that dying is Paul’s speciality.

Question:
This weeks question is back to Formula 1, but it’s not a question about who is good or who will win that. Pretty much because the answer to that is Max. No, this weeks question comes from the commentators that we’re going on about the fact that the gravel had been glued in place with a resin so that cars going off don’t drag it back onto the track. Is gravel that has been glued in place still gravel?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (33%)
- No (67%)
Analysis:
I saw gravel defined as a loose aggregation of rock fragments. Based on that, if you glue it together, it’s no longer gravel.

Question:
Pretty much most of everything this week has been taken up with the death of the Queen. I’m sad to see her go, but at the same time, 96 is a pretty good age. I have to be honest, I was a little surprised given how close her death was after seeing her earlier in the week appoint Liz Truss as PM. Moving on, we look to King Charles III and say “long live the King”. Do you think Charles will bring changes to the monarchy?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
Interesting. I’m the only one that thinks there won’t be any changes to the monarchy. I’m kind of intrigued as to what changes you think Charles will bring about. I just think he’s been raised with expectations of taking this position and has been groomed in the way of things and not to upset the apple cart so to speak.

Question:
Let’s continue the theme of the royal death and move on to the funeral. The talk right now is who is and who is not invited to the funeral. Have you been invited to the royal funeral?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
I had no idea we had royalty or dignitaries voting on this site, but good on you to those that got an invite to the royal funeral. I did think the news was going to continue on this as they seemed to want to speculate as to who was invited, then do a review of who actually got invited. I kind of thought that we were going to have a week long opinion on who was and who wasn't, but thankfully we didn't.
