Poll dancing

My poll on the format of the blog has now closed and the results are in!  61 votes were cast and the scores on the doors are as follows:

80% of voters (49 votes) are in favour of the old (current) format.
9% (6 votes) preferred the 'new' flipcard format which I tried out for a few days in early March.
6% (4 votes) either didn't know or care
3% (2 votes) claimed that "I don't read this rubbish, I just like internet polls."

I know that doesn't quite add up to 100% but don't blame me.
So for the time being at least we'll be staying with the current layout.  Flipcard looks great but for the moment at least takes far too long to load up - even with a wired fibre-optic broadband connection to the interwebnet.  Maybe this will change in the future, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Meanwhile what passes for 'normal service' will be resumed... A blog post ain't a blog post without a photo of some toys.  Does anyone else have a corner of a shelf full of crap like this?  10 points to the first reader to identify all the toys...

Toys like that lurk on my bookshelves !

Aww. So nothing like Morris dancing?

11 March 2013 at 18:23 

Sorry old chap but the vision of you poll dancing has sent me scurrying for a supply of industrial strength sedatives....

I suspect that if you did it it would be with a black undercoat and drybrushed accessories....;-)

Please keep your pants on....

Well at least one of them is a figure you possibly bought a year ago.......

Your shelf is tidy Tim, I can still see bits of shelf!


11 March 2013 at 21:53 
Are you getting professional help about your 'visions'?

11 March 2013 at 22:21 
It's snowing again here so all garments will be remaining in place!

11 March 2013 at 22:22 
Xaltotun of Python
Ah yes, one of the new chaps.....

11 March 2013 at 22:23 
Who is Morris and how does he dance?

11 March 2013 at 22:24 
Tha shelf was tidied quite recently!

11 March 2013 at 22:26 
It's been a lot worse Chris - and it's by no means the worst bit of the toy room.
 
It's good to know I wasn't the only one who voted for flipcard. The people have spoken and I accept their choice. I may have to ask my readers this very same question.

11 March 2013 at 23:10 

Only on the days with a 'y' in them....;-)

Morris is a cat, and quite the finicky eater.

The Dancing, as far as I can tell, is with bells on (literally) and lots of knee 'action'.

Speaking as the voice of the silent majority and the people that would have shot that burglar a third time - I DEMAND A RECOUNT !!!

12 March 2013 at 23:50 
My problem - as 'she who must be obeyed' keeps reminding me - is that my toys *aren't* all on one shelf, but scattered all over the house! :)

13 March 2013 at 06:48 
After my own experiences with Flipcard the results came as no surprise!

13 March 2013 at 09:36 
And just when is your firearms licence up for renewal?

13 March 2013 at 09:37 
Mine are all in one room. Variously referred to by other member sof the household as my 'Toy Room', 'War Room' or 'Lair'.

13 March 2013 at 09:38 
You mean to say they sell licences for these things? Well I never!!! This government really will go to any lengths to raise revenue won't they! Next you'll be telling me that we need public liability insurance for the village witch burnings.
