Question:
Back to the transportation theme. What is your favorite means of transport?
Results:
Car (that you drive) was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Aeroplane (0%)
- Bicycle (0%)
- Boat (0%)
- Bus (0%)
- Car (that you drive) (100%)
- Motorcycle (0%)
- Taxi (or car that you don't drive) (0%)
- Train (0%)
- Walking (0%)
Analysis:
Seems most people prefer to drive themselves which doesn't surprise me. There's some element of feeling in control if you drive yourself. Not sure the illusion of safety (and it is an illusion), but as much the thought of being the master of your own destiny - you can leave when you want, stop when you want and really sort of own everything about the trip.

Question:
Why is it that easy open bags and self seal bags don't open easily or seal properly?
Results:
Because you're an idiot and don't know how to use them was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Because you're an idiot and don't know how to use them (60%)
- Because they are made badly and don't work (40%)
Analysis:
Yep, I'm an idiot. But I do think they're pretty hard to use as well. Some are fairly well designed, but others just don't seem to want to play ball. I end up spending ages trying to run my fingers on a self sealing strip. It sort of seals and then pops open again. I normally give up pretty quickly and just reach for the clips I've got that work perfectly well to seal any kind of bag. See. Ha! Not so stupid after all ey?

Question:
Well, it's coming up to that time of year where Americans get very excited and set off a load of fireworks. Being responsible for a little American and having custody of said American this weekend, the job of finding and attending a fourth of July celebration falls upon me. Will I enjoy this year's fourth of July fireworks?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (100%)
Analysis:
I'm not actually sure there's an answer to this as we didn't go to the fireworks in the end. William had been to Disney with his mother and her parents the week before and he said he'd seen enough fireworks, so we played games together instead. Which I did enjoy.

Question:
Greece is in trouble again, stocks are crashing, the confederate flag is being taken down everywhere, Trump is running for president and yet none of it matters. None of it matters because in less than two weeks it will be Fish-O-Mania again. I told my parents today just in case they wanted to get tickets and go. I'm sure they will. Anyway, which country do you think will win Fish-O-Mania 2015?
Results:
England was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Belgium (0%)
- England (67%)
- France (0%)
- Holland (33%)
- Ireland (0%)
- Italy (0%)
- Scotland (0%)
- Wales (0%)
Analysis:
Well, if you know the answer, don't tell me as I have to go another couple of weeks before I get to see the event as my parents have recorded it for me. I'm hoping England have won it again.

Question:
I'm not entirely sure why I've done this, but I've applied to get into a serious war clan in the Clash of Clans game. I had to submit and application form, then do a written test where I planned out an attack. I'm now in the trials clan to determine if I can actually do what I said I can. Will I make it into the serious Clash of Clans war clan?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Yeah, looks like I'll make it in. We're almost there. Just a few more trials to go. I'm definitely nowhere near the best player, but I can hold my own.

Question:
The wonders of nature. Did you know that if you were a woodpecker, you'd suffer brain damage from the force of pecking trees?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
I guess from the lack of voting that you don't give a shit about woodpeckers. I think woodpeckers are really cool. Definitely one of my favorite birds.

Vote #417
Question:
Woohoo!!! Only a few days left and I'll be on my way back to the UK for a much needed holiday. I'm sure it will be great, but what will the first thing be that I moan about when I get back to England?
Results:
Fishing Kit not right was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- The weather (25%)
- Fishing Kit not right (50%)
- Bad fishing (0%)
- Jet Lag (0%)
- Food (0%)
- Restaurant service (0%)
- TV (0%)
- People (25%)
- The mini holiday (0%)
- Something else (0%)
Analysis:
I'm not entirely sure I can remember what it was. It wasn't my fishing kit as I've not been fishing yet. Not really sure I've moaned about the weather. Made comments on it, but not really in a complaining way. I'm guessing that something else was the correct answer.

Vote #418
Question:
If you've read the answer to the previous week's question you will know that I've not gone fishing yet. We're off somewhere near the east coast that's supposed to have fishing, but I'm not entirely sure it will be up to scratch. Will I get any fishing done this week?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
Yes. In a word.

Vote #419
Question:
I'm not entirely sure what's happening, but my website has inexplicably been going down the last couple of weeks. It seemed the first time was due to a Windows update. The second one, I connected o my computer to find an advert to upgrade to Windows 10 for free. Conspiracy theory would say it's Microsoft bugging up Windows 7 for me so I have to upgrade to 10. Anyway, will my website stay up this week?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (0%)
- No (100%)
Analysis:
Well, as most of you could probably tell from the fact that a blank question was initially sent out for this week, my website did indeed stay up. Seems it was just a few updates from Microsoft that seemed to cause a temporary problem.

Question:
Another week when I got a little sidetracked and forgot to set a vote question. Will anyone bother to submit a vote now I've remember to submit a question?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (25%)
- No (75%)
Analysis:
Come on then - hands up who voted yes. You're supposed to vote no and revel in your own irony, then realize everyone else has done the same thing ... me included ... which is really sad when you thing about it.
