Well, probably not important issues, more like trivial things that come to mind on a Sunday morning after a belly full of beer from a Saturday night.
This week's current vote is shown above. After the votes are in, EBR will provide in depth analysis of the results so you can find out if you are running with the crowd or if you're out there on your own. You never know, you may even learn something, but that's highly unlikely. Analysis of last week's vote is shown below. If you want to see historic votes, checkout the vote archives.
Oh! And the cool thing before I forget, the graphs update as you vote ...... Wow! And what's more, the colors are allocated randomly, so each time you refresh the page, you will see different colors on the graphs. (F5 is normally the shortcut key to refresh, but may depend on your browser.) Go on .... try it.

Analysis:
Wow! Was this the most controversial vote question ever set. It's caused so much concern and chaos amongst the EBR voters. All three of them have had significant issues, it's crazy. It started with my dad questioning the grammar in the answers. It then cascaded to Paul saying he did not understand the question and it didn't make sense. To Owen telling me the website was broken and he couldn't post a discussion comment after trying four times.
Well, I maintain the grammar is correct and to be really clear and give you the answer so you're not going to fall off the edge of your seat waiting, the correct answer is “Owen and I made the TV series and movie I watched [last weekend] awesome.” Seems good to me. I provided the answer to Paul and actually told him that Owen and I feature in a TV series and a movie on Netflix and he said he still didn't understand. He did just turn 50 though and, we wish him Happy Birthday, but also note that he's struggling with his new found age. That is the only explanation I have there. As for Owen, the four discussion comments left by him would indicate that the program is actually functioning as intended, although, I will admit here that there are bugs here and there on the site that pop up from time to time. It's not my day job.
Anyway, all the complaints aside, I think it's pretty cool that Owen and I are international stars. Well, that's what I thought at first and then I realized that in both instances, we are there as an example of what can go wrong. This probably fits our capabilities a lot better than being celebrities. I should note that movie may be a little misleading as it's more of a docufilm, but still, we are indeed there. Now, I will say that you need a keen eye to spot us. I think Owen might be trying to hide behind a pole and I'm running out of shot, but if you look close enough you will see us. And, as I mentioned, being truly international stars, the TV show filmed us in the US and the docufilm had us on camera in England.
I'm guessing that anyone reading this far is marginally interested in which TV show and which film Owen and I feature. Well, the TV show is “100 days to Indy” that follows teams and drivers in the first 100 days of the 2023 IndyCar series to the Indy 500. The docufilm is “Schumacher” that goes through the amazing career of Michael Schumacher. Owen is probably a little confused as to the first of these, but has figured out the second given it's our one and only trip to a Formula 1 race. Go back to what I said about the fact that we're there to highlight what could go wrong and sadly we are at the Indy Car race where Dan Wheldon died which is featured on the show. For everyone else, we were there when Michael Schumacher had a whoopsie moment, thankfully not as bad as the IndyCar incident.
