Question:
It's that time of year again to interview interns and college hires. Budding young wanna be's trying to impress me with their talent and embark on a life long career that will slowly consume them and turn them bitter against the whole world. Well, something like that anyway. In this modern world we live in there are a lot of do's and don'ts regarding interviews. Things you can ask and things you can't ask. Which of the following would be the most inappropriate reason to hire a young woman as an intern?
Results:
Seemed well qualified for the position was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Good looking (0%)
- Nice rack (0%)
- Nice arse (0%)
- Definite Monica Lewinsky (0%)
- Looks like she would go like a train (0%)
- Said she would swallow (0%)
- Seemed well qualified for the position (100%)
Analysis:
Ha ha ha, seems we're all on the same page. Clearly the wrong reason to hire anyone is that they are capable. Physical appearances or willingness to perform sexual favors the only valid reasons for taking someone on. If only I lived in the seventies.

Question:
We're in the American holiday season with Thanksgiving coming up and then Christmas round the corner, so it's time to start thinking about what I should be doing. Should I book a trip back to England this Christmas?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:

Analysis:
Looks like the general consensus is that I should book a trip back and I will likely do that this week provided the hospital gives me the all clear to travel.

Question:
This week's question comes from William and is based on the film we watched last night. Is Batman good or bad?
Results:
Good was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Good (75%)
- Bad (25%)
Analysis:
It is an interesting question ... the thing is that Batman is a vigilante which, technically isn't good. When William watched the film he picked up on all the bad things Batman was doing outside the law.

It's going to be quiet this Christmas was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (20%)
- It's going to be quiet this Christmas (80%)
Analysis:
It is going to be quiet this Christmas and that's not necessarily a good thing. I'm really looking forward to it, but would be better if I had the noisy, whiny thing with me. Still, there's always beer.

Question:
Alright, it's party time and I'm set to head back to England for Christmas next week. As I documented in last week's question, I'm going to be coming on my own without William. A single, handsome, debonair, fun, attractive kind of guy with a great sense of humor being let loose on the streets of England once more. And what more appropriate venue to let loose this flood of male testosterone onto the female population of my home country than the local public house, The Stag? The place where everyone who is everyone goes to find their soul mate. What talent awaits me in The Stag this Christmas?
Results:

Analysis:
Woohoo! it's party time. Time to throw down the flour and aim for the damps spot. I'm a going chubby chasing with the Grantham Fatties!

Question:
Funny story ... but there's no time for that right now. I did a small amount of cleaning today given that I'm off to England on Tuesday. I thought it would be a good idea to wash William's clothes as I won't see him for a couple of weeks and I could get that out the way. Well, when I went into his bedroom, I was confronted by a sweater mountain. I don't know if William's gone into business or what, but they have just appeared ... hundreds of them. Kind of odd as I've got the air conditioning on given how hot it is here. You definitely don't need winter woolies. So, what should I do with William's sweater mountain?
Results:
Fold it and put it away, Sell it on eBay and Have posh toilet paper for a couple of weeks tied with 33% of the votes each from the following:
- Fold it and put it away (33%)
- Sell it on eBay (33%)
- Donate it to charity (0%)
- Have a bonfire party (0%)
- Have posh toilet paper for a couple of weeks (33%)
Analysis:
Here's the thing, what I've realized is that Karen, knowing that I only live in a small apartment, has been buying sweaters and giving them to William in an attempt to drive me out of my home. Seems she's trying to fill my house full of clothes so I can't get through the door. Oh well, my rental charge for storing these will be reasonable.

Question:
Seems I forgot to post a question so am doing this a little late, although only three hours which isn't too bad. It's a big shame that William didn't make it back to England as we've had a flurry of snow and all the kids are out sledging and building snowmen. We're getting to entertain the higher echelons of UK society this afternoon. Should we build a snowman?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Fantastic! The lowest vote response ever with a whopping one vote .... and that was from my Dad. Even I forgot to vote last week after first forgetting to set the question. Well, in the end we didn't build a snowman whether my Dad wanted to or not.

Question:
Sadly the holiday draws to an end and on the penultimate evening I went to visit a friend from school that lives back in the old neighborhood. Amongst many things, it was very interesting to travel on some of the roads I used to drive, although at a much slower pace than I used to which got me to wondering ... if I was a passenger in my car back when I was a teenager, what would I do?
Results:
Poo myself was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Close my eyes (33%)
- Put a crash helmet on (0%)
- Scream for mummy (0%)
- Poo myself (67%)
- Nothing (0%)
Pre-Result Discussion
Analysis:
I think it' safe to say that I would indeed poo myself. Mainly because that's my bodies response to everything these days. I have to be honest though, I'm not sure how I managed to drive so fast on some of those back roads as they are rather windy.

Question:
After returning from the UK I have broken out in a cold that I believe I caught from my father. And like my father, I have passed it on to my son. Sort of like a family heirloom I suppose. What do you do to get rid of a cold?
Results:
Stay in bed, Take aspirin/paracetamol, Drink Hot Lemon and Drink Hot Toddies tied with 25% of the votes each from the following:
- Stay in bed (25%)
- Take aspirin/paracetamol (25%)
- Drink Hot Lemon (25%)
- Take Cold Tablets (0%)
- Take Natural Remedies (0%)
- Drink water (0%)
- Take zinc (0%)
- Drink Hot Toddies (25%)
Analysis:
A boring question with a boring response. I guess most people do different things. I'm a hot lemon person, but at the end of the day, nothing really works ... it just makes you feel like you're doing something to make it better.

Question:
As the new year gets underway, it's time to book the tickets to the NASCAR race. Remind me again, why do I have to pay Ticketmaster a significant convenience charge for an inconvenient service?
Results:
You bent over to pick up the soap was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Because you weren't smart enough to monopolize ticket sales (0%)
- Shut up and just pay it (0%)
- It is convenient - you just don't understand (25%)
- You bent over to pick up the soap (75%)
Analysis:
I really do wish I was smart enough to find a way to force people to pay me for things they were getting before for less money. I do get the fact that they have a better model to serve folks rather than a particular venue trying to staff up for major events, but I really don't like the way it's called a convenience charge. Why not just call it what it is? Anyway, tickets have been purchased and we're getting ready to head to Vegas in about a months time.
