Vote #801
Question:
It's probably a little late to be asking this question as we're two matches into the competition, but we're going to ask it anyway. Who do you think will win the 2023 Six Nations Championship?
Results:
Ireland was the clear winner with 43% of the votes from the following selection:
- England (0%)
- France (14%)
- Ireland (43%)
- Italy (0%)
- Scotland (29%)
- Wales (14%)
Analysis:
It looks like Ireland just pipped the vote and that's probably a good bet. It looks like it's going to come down to Ireland or Scotland. Maybe Scotland can pull something off in a couple of weeks, we'll see.

Vote #802
Question:
I feel that I've started to make headway on the UI/UX redesign of this website to make it more responsive. We've done most of the foundational areas along with the comms, games and blog. There are, however, a few major areas left. Which area of the site should I tackle next to make it more responsive?
Results:
Forums, Fun Stuff and Vote tied with 33% of the votes each from the following:
- Forums (33%)
- Fun Stuff (33%)
- Photos (0%)
- Videos (0%)
- Vote (33%)

22nd February 2023
Analysis:
A really lack luster vote with hardly anyone being bothered to comment which tells me that nobody really cares. Assuming that Slartibartfast is Mr O, I did expect the majority of folks to pick vote as it's the only page that folks really visit, however, I did post the answer to the question before it was set on the forum as I did say which area of the site I was going to update next. The correct answer was Forums, however, I also did the vote too along with some others.

Vote #803
Question:
I'm going to guess the same thing applies to emoji's, but we're going to start small with the vote question. Sidetracking for a minute, I have been accused of using the wrong emoji's at work, however, this is on purpose. I will explain more in the analysis of this week's vote question, which is, at what age do you become unable to control the caps lock key?
Results:
60 was the clear winner with 19% of the votes from the following selection:
- 10 (5%)
- 20 (14%)
- 30 (5%)
- 40 (5%)
- 50 (10%)
- 60 (19%)
- 70 (14%)
- 80 (10%)
- 90 (10%)
- 100 (10%)
Analysis:
Not the explanation I was intending to give when I set this rather awkwardly worded question, but this question relates to my father's use of capital letters. I noticed that his entry into the F1 fantasy game was all lower case. I went back and looked at his prior entries into the NASCAR game and he seems to alternate between all caps or no caps. I asked him about it this past weekend and he just claimed he'd never entered the fantasy competition before. Clearly the memories of that are tucked away with those on how to use a shift key. What I've actually concluded is that the cleaner is periodically knocking the caps lock key so he's switching between all caps or no caps depending on how it's been knocked.
On another note, there's something weird afoot. We seem to have jumped significantly in the number of vote responses. I'm looking into this because it's really strange for two reasons, first - you can't do more than one vote per IP address unless you manually enter a name (and that hasn't been done). Second - the votes are coming from the weekly email response rather than posts from the site directly. I'll see what happens this week, but it's a bit of a mystery for now.

Vote #804
Question:
First thing I have to acknowledge is that result for Liverpool this past weekend. I loved the commentator saying who would believe before the game that Liverpool would score three against Manchester United. If only, I'm sure the Man U fans are saying. Moving on, however, I'm still stuck on the number of votes that were registered last week. Will this week see another bumper week of voting on this question?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (33%)
- No (67%)
Analysis:
Mathematically, the answer to this question was always going to be no. Given that whatever bot is running is selecting every answer in turn, then we're going to get more votes if we have more options to select from. In order to prove this out, we will need to set next week's question with 10 options for answers and expect that there will at least be one vote for each answer. (Whereas normally, we don't get 10 votes in total). Let's see shall we? Then we can determine if it is indeed aliens as Marvin suggested.

Vote #805
Question:
There's an element of more context to this question if you read the analysis of the previous vote's question, but it's not required. Given all the focus on emoji's, there's really only one question I'm going to ask this week. Which of the following is your most used or favorite emoji?
Results:
🤢, 😎 and 🍑 tied with 15% of the votes each from the following:
- 😀 (8%)
- 😂 (8%)
- 😚 (8%)
- 🤢 (15%)
- 😛 (8%)
- 😎 (15%)
- 🥱 (8%)
- 😈 (8%)
- 🍆 (8%)
- 🍑 (15%)
Analysis:
Right, well I'm going to guess that only three people voted and it was split between barfing, cool and the peach. I need to write a blog about what's going on, but I'm being hit by something from Google that's causing the extra votes. I suspect it's their new AI that they officially released this week, but I do believe they've been using it under the covers for a while .... more to come (that's what she said).

Vote #806
Question:
Right, well, it's time to get myself a small rear jack. That way when I get caught scratching my bollocks I can say I wasn't, it was the rear jack and that doesn't count as touching it (or them). Seriously though, are we going to see anything other than a Red Bull win a grand prix this season?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Back to normal voting and just the three votes - that's what we like to see. None of this making out that we're a popular site. OK, so the general feeling is that we will see another car on top of the podium of F1. I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks, but the most likely scenario for that happening is the Red Bull's taking each other out as nobody is close to them right now.

Vote #807
Question:
We've started a news section in the blogs on AI and we're going to base this week's question on that very topic. But not the AI you're used to that actually has some sort of intelligence, but the AI here on this site which posses no intelligence whatsoever. Given that the AI overwrote Owen's picks for the last F1 race, we ask this week, who will Owen have as winning next week's F1 race in Australia? (The thing I like most about this is that neither he or I will know the answer until we get there).
Results:
Stevie Wonder was the clear winner with 43% of the votes from the following selection:
- Max Verstappen (0%)
- Fernando Alonso (0%)
- Jimmy Johnson (14%)
- Jeff Gordon (14%)
- Nigel Mansel (0%)
- Engelbert Humperdinck (14%)
- Sterling Moss (0%)
- Janet Jackson (14%)
- Stevie Wonder (43%)
Analysis:
Did they use my AI to make decisions on the race? It definitely looks like they did. Seriously, what a farce that was! I couldn't understand why they called the red flag. Then when they did, I was thinking - surely they'll do a rolling start, otherwise there's just going to be a pile up going into turn 1. Well yeah. Anyway, Owen did indeed get the picks he made without them being overwritten this week.
Now, as for you lot ... I voted for Engelbert Humperdinck. I didn't really give much thought to the options when I created them, but Stevie Wonder ...

Vote #808
Question:
An exciting week ahead of my that starts with a surgery on my bum. The surgeon has told me that I'm going to be in pain for a month after, but I'm obviously hoping it's not going to be that bad (or that the drugs are that good). Will my bum stop hurting by the end of the week?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
Not even close! I've ended up having to take the whole week off work due to complications. These are kind of related to the pain, but it definitely looks like I'm in for at least another week of anal agony.

Vote #809
Question:
Following the theme of botty problems, has my beloved Leicester City shit the bed this season and going to get relegated?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (60%)
- No (40%)
Analysis:
It's looking pretty grim isn't it! Another loss this weekend gives us just seven games to make something happen. We do still have the chance to make something happen, but there are some must win games coming up against Everton and Leeds if we're going to stand a chance. Otherwise, it's back to being a yo-yo side after our time in the spotlight. I still voted positively as I'm trying to be as optimistic as I can.

Vote #810
Question:
Well, I've been out for a couple of weeks and it's time to get back to the grind. Somehow I feel like I should get some time off for good behavior versus having to push through my après surgery and face work, but sadly, that's not how it goes. How is my return to work week going to go?
Results:
Very Bad and Diabolical tied with 23% of the votes each from the following:
- Excellent (8%)
- Very Good (8%)
- Good (8%)
- Neutral (15%)
- Bad (15%)
- Very Bad (23%)
- Diabolical (23%)
Analysis:
Oooh! Back to the random vote for each option. I guess Google's doing some more testing. In fairness, this past week wasn't so bad other than the fact that I'm very tired, so have had to go to bed early every night to get a good night's sleep. I probably need it as am still recovering. I would probably say is was neutral over all. Far too many emails to catch up on and other admin crap, but some good times with clients. As far as week's go, not too good and not too bad, so meh! Neutral.
