A Good Start

The actual question:

Our "beloved" PM has declared his first 100 days in office as "a good start".

A good start to WHAT exactly...

I do suggest you listen to this whilst voting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d7EbtLb8ok

And the punters said:


My thoughts:

Oh my God.   From his point of view, it was a good start, and he has just kept on in the same direction, and now I'm looking back to the Howard era as "the good old days".  I want to cry.

elevenses

Click here to take survey

The actual question:


 Aaah, yes, it is almost that time of the day. You know the one, the one where you realise you are out of coffee and need to go to the loo. Also known as "around 11am". So you get up from your desk... Assuming you are in a typical office you will either have the kitchen/coffee shop no where near the loo, or they will be smack next to each other...

(for ease of use, I'm saying coffee, because I am NORMAL, but it could be any beverage as per drunk in the office)

And the punters said:


My thoughts:

I recently discovered a little not-kitchen next to the toilets. I'm not sure what it is doing there but it is handy for leaving cups.

Neville Chamberlain

Click here to take survey

The actual question

This is a survey for Glen, who really should just do his own surveys instead of expecting others to do it for him. However, be that as it may...

Does the name Neville Chamberlain mean anything to you? Especially WRT current China/USA situation?

NO GOOGLING ALLOWED

And the punters said



My thoughts

Glen is a slackarse.

Yeah, I'm old, so Tom Baker. Then David;  Then 3, 5, 11, etc...
And of course Strax should be.  Too many humans of late.

The Libs have been in power for 50 days. Which of the following things have embarrassed you? (note, embarrassment and laughing at are not mutually exclusive)

Wallpaper

Click here to take survey

The actual question

So, I was watching Wallace and Grommit last night, and got wallpaper inspired. You know how they all have wallpaper that matches their greatest love (bones/fish/knitting/cheese).
So, if I were to put wallpaper in MY room, what should it be...

And the punters said


My thoughts

Believe it or not, naked men on the walls really wouldn't be my cup of tea at all.  

Dammit, Abbott, stop embarrassing us

Click here to take survey

The actual question was

So today we find out that Mr Abbott said, in the International Press, that the former government was "Wacko" and "I thought it was the most incompetent and untrustworthy government in modern Australian history". That's right, in the international press (Washington Post, to be precise". That on top of saying a UN representative was "talking through her hat" and that any connection between major bushfires in October and Climate change is "absolute hogwash". And insulting Indonesia. And Russia. And...

God it's is only 50 days in.

This reminds me of how deeply embarrassed I was the last time the Libs were in government, especially with their lies about children overboard, and their blatant stirring up of Xenophobia to win votes.

So... am I alone.

Do you find yourself embarrassed when the Libs are in government?

And the punters said

If you have that abbott-image-replace thing on, clicking should show you reponses


My thoughts

Believe it or not, he's gotten worse since.  His arrogance and contempt both for Australians and the international community knows now bounds

public transport

Click here to take survey

The actual question

When you catch public transport, especially during peak hour, do you have to repress the urges to shout "Move over you rude gits!" to the entire carriage/bus?

And the punters said



My thoughts

On trains in Sydney now, they have "fast track platforms" with lots of comments over the airwaves like "Please stand away from the doors to let people get off quicker. Don't try to get on before people have finished getting off.  If you are getting off at this station, please move towards the doors.  If you are not, please move away from the doors".  I could never be a cityrail announcer.  I'd be all "STOP being stupid gits, and use your brains!!"

I reckon 3ish is pushing it.  After that it is getting more towards evening (they turned up at 6)

Let us discuss Lettuce

Click here to take survey

The actual question

I just had a rather delicious salad for lunch (lettuce, cheese, cucumber, avocado, capsicum, celery, chick peas, honey mustard dressing) and it got me contemplating about the various types of lettuce. And, what with being salad weather and all, what is your preferred leafy basis...

And the punters said



My thoughts

Look, daggy as it is, iceberg is, and always will be, "real lettuce" for me.  I mean, I eat the other stuff, but when I think of lettuce, it's iceberg.

Earl Grey Tea is an abomination

The actual question

Is the belief that Jean-Luc Picard drinks "Earl Grey Tea - Hot" really derive from an attempt by the Romulans to discredit the Federation through smearing the reputation of one of its most well known captains?

And the punters said

Should Salad Sandwiches have Carrots on them?

And the punters said

My thoughts

What the hell?  You freaks!  It HAS to have carrot on it.  Either very finely chopped or grated carrot.  Otherwise isn't salad.  Sheesh!!!

Anyway, it was even and I didn't vote, so I won.

(Shut up Colin)

Glen's chocolate crackles

Click here to take survey

The actual question:

A question for my friend Glen.

Last night, after he got home, a kid came door knocking with his Mum. Kid was about 8. He was selling chocolate crackles they'd made (6 for $5) so he could save up for a speed bike.

Now, what would be your reaction to this?

And the punters said:

Do kids even mow lawns any more?  Can some come and do mine?

Hot water bottles

A question dear to my heart....

Why are hot water bottles so infinitely superior to electric blankets?

My thoughts:

The low rate of responses here really does show that people just don't think about the important things.

Stupid clutzoid ways to sprain your ankle

The actual question:

Since my other question was "too intellectual" for a Monday, here is an alt, which certainly is not.

How is the stupidest way that Di has sprained her ankle (all are true)?

And the punters said:


My thoughts

Stepping in a hole probably should have won this, purely due to the number of times this has occurred (at least 10)

Not quite socks with sandals

Click here to take survey

The actual question:

It's a bit of a worry. This morning I was rushing out the door, and so grabbed the first pair of shoes that I found. These are pretty much summery shoes, flats with cutout bits, including the toes.

Then after I was well outside on the way to work, I remembered... It's winter. Oh yeah. 

I'm wearing long, black pants. 

So.. what would you then do?

And the punters said:


My thoughts:

This reminds me, I really have to get the hole in the bottom of my boots fixed soon

Is your bra also a pocket?

Click here to take survey

The actual question:

This poll is brought to you by me accidentally answering my mobile with my boob. I'd shoved it in my bra strap and gone and made coffee, and somewhere along the line someone had rung me (on silent) and I'd answered it and only realised when I heard this vague "hello hello" coming from my top. I hung up on em :P

So, talking about it with my mate Mel, she laughed and said "but of course I do it too". And I said "Don't all women". And she alleged that No, not all do.

So... do you use your bra as an extra pocket? Do you shove your keys/coins/money down your cleavage when you can't be arsed carrying them? Do you shove your phone in your bra strap because it is really handy to put it there? 

Well? It's anonymous so be truthful

And the punters said:


My thoughts:

Smartarses!

Which cartoon bird do you hate more?

Tweety Bird.  Road Runner.  You know you've thought about it.


Which one do you hate?

The actual question:

Tweety Bird. Road Runner. They are both malicious smug little feathered bastards. So, which one do you hate MORE?

And the punters said: 


My thoughts:

Yes, this is a real VITALLY IMPORTANT SURVEY, and yet the punters got it WRONG.  It should have been the Road runner, malicious little bastard.
