Question:
Why is it that, nowadays, after I've been sitting for a while and I get up, I do a massive fart?
Results:
You've always done this was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Old age (13%)
- Stomach problems (0%)
- Bad diet (0%)
- Beer (13%)
- Swallowing air (0%)
- You've always done this (75%)
Analysis:
To be honest, it's probably a combination of all of them. That said, the dumbest thing to do after setting this question would be to eat an out of date enchilada and refried beans dinner. It was only a day out of date, so it didn't seem that bad. Let me tell you, did I wake up to a musical tune. Wow! But the pinnacle was in the evening when I went out to fetch the bins (trash cans) in. I let rip to an insanely loud trumpet. And with the mountains around the house, it yodeled back at me. Sort of a fartel. So, I did the thing where I looked up and down the street to see if anyone had witnessed the tearing of space and time. Nobody had and I went back inside. The funny thing is that I thought about it later and realized that I wasn't embarrassed and I wonder whether I didn't want anyone to hear my tootiledge or if I wanted a witness that could share in the moment. If I'm being honest, I think it was the later as I was rather proud of it.

Question:
A rather simple and yet highly dangerous question. No cheating. Is there a seahorse emoji?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
OK, so those of you that did cheat used AI and that is why this is a dangerous question. If you ask any AI (well, at least any of the main AI being Chat GPT, Gemini and Claude) whether there has been a seahorse emoji, it will tell you confidently that there has and still is one. It is not true. There is no seahorse emoji in the unicode character set or on Apple or Android keyboards. If you subsequently ask the AI to search the web for the emoji, it either freezes or apologies for getting it wrong before. It is, apparently, a function of the AI having looked at Reddit (the world's biggest source of bollocks) and read articles people have posted claiming there was once a seahorse emoji. This appears to make the AI hallucinate and think there was or still is one when, in fact, there has never been one.

- No (20%)
Pre-Result Discussion
Analysis:
Yes. But not in the way Mr O or Scoopy McScoopface as he's calling himself now suggests. Paul and Louisa are tying the knot.
They may have actually done it. I only heard via the grapevine and my invite must have got lost in the mail. Or they didn't put enough postage on it to get across the pond. Regardless, I'm completely unaware of the details other than they got engaged and are going or had a wedding.

Question:
Obviously the thing you want to happen when you're flying around Laguna Seca is a total loss of brakes. That, unfortunately, is what happened to me. Thankfully, I'd decided to come into the pits early and had slowed right down. I did get the car stopped safely without hitting anything which is more than can be said for the Lotus running in William's group that only corked and didn't screw through the corkscrew ending up in the wall with a much shorter car than he started the day with. How many weeks will it be before I can get my car looked at?
Results:
3, 4 and 6 tied with 19% of the votes each from the following:
- 1 (0%)
- 2 (6%)
- 3 (19%)
- 4 (19%)
- 5 (13%)
- 6 (19%)
- 7 (6%)
- 8 (6%)
- 9+ (13%)
Analysis:
A rather large number of people voting. The correct answer is 5 weeks which isn't too bad. I knew it wouldn't be immediate.

Question:
I seem to have found myself in a battle with my local supermarket that, if not resolved, will end up with me taking them to court. I've therefore decided to use a different supermarket for this week's shop. Will I enjoy the food from my new chosen supermarket?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 83% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (83%)
- No (17%)
Analysis:
Yes, indeed I did. The new supermarket is more expensive, but a lot better for with many of the items being organic. I have to admit, the food does appear to have more flavor. Also, they've got my order right twice in a row so that's helpful.

Analysis:
Thankfully I wasn't in much pain at all. I went for a nap in the afternoon on the day I had them removed and when I awoke there was some pain. I took 2 acetaminophen and thought this was going to be the start of taking pain killers and the pain didn't return. I'm going to give it to those of you that voted for 3.

Question:
It seems like a very long time since I've seen any Formula 1 racing, but it returns this coming weekend in Miama after the canceled races in the Middle East. Are you looking forward to the return of Formula 1?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (40%)
- No (60%)
Analysis:
Ah, the majority of you seem to be uninterested in the return of Formula 1. Given my performance in the race game, perhaps I shouldn't have been that eager for its return. At least the field has closed on Mercedes a bit, although they still won and their upgrades aren't coming until next week.

Question:
We're back in clan war league and I've been spread over 5 clans again. Will any of the clans in in get promoted this month?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Yes. Several of them did indeed get promoted. It wasn't really much of an achievement as they've created new leagues and are promoting more teams to do the new leagues. No idea why they felt the need to do this. I'm sure there's a reason somewhere.
