[Poll] Numbers

Musing query (even though it's not a Friday) ...

[Poll #1644708]

(Inspired by having to record a new voicemail message at work, including the number of our switchboard.)

[Gigs] Last chance to see: Screaming Banshee Aircrew (in London)

It's the last ever Screaming Banshee Aircrew gig in London tonight, at the New Cross Inn.

5 bands (or possibly six), free entry, 9pm-2am.

Details. And no, I have no idea who drew that flyer.

And did I mention that it's the last London gig for Screaming Banshee Aircrew? If you miss this one, the only chance you'll get to see them is DV8Fest in York, later this month. And tonight's gig is apparently free.

[Poll #1586901]

(For bonus smiles, the road beside the pub is "Childeric Road".)

[Poll] Streetdate

Inspired by the sight of one of my colleagues on his lunchbreak¹, a poll ...

[Poll #1436208]

Clarifications
Male/female refers to gender of identification/appearance.
The "Have you ... got ..." and "Did they ... get ..." questions should be taken to referring to "in the same period of interaction", rather than anything that happened thereafter or on successive meetings.
The final "yes/no" question should be read as 'In general, do you ...'.


¹ Admittedly, he has the advantage of being 6ft4, handsome and apparently having shares in Charisma Inc.

[Grammar/poll] Quick check ...

I know what the Times and Oxford style guides say, but I was wondering about the opinions of my readership on the wonderful wibbly wobbly world wide web.

[Music Quiz] Yep, another one ...

Well, it seems to be the season for it, and it is Friday after all ...

This is one of those "Set MP3 player to stun random" quizzes, so it's somewhat eclectic. Points for artist and track, and post left unlocked for pointing random people at.

[Poll #1161912]

Enjoy! I'll do the scoring in about a week.

EDIT: For those concerned that they've scored low and therefore 'suck', this is quite a difficult one - some of the songs probably aren't that well known.

[Poll] Presentation handouts

A musing following on from the last two days presentation-fest ... if you're attending a presentation carried out via PowerPoint or similar, do you like to receive a copy of the slides, and if so, how? Also, if you do presentations, how do you usually do it?

[Music/Poll] B-Movie Tunes

Just wondering (apropros of nowt¹) what tracks people associate with B-Movie?

Poll behind cut )

¹ Well, OK, mostly apropos of bumping into a mate who used to DJ at The Stairway in Croydon, during what may be termed my formative years, and we were discussing the way people often remember clubs by the tracks played.

[Poll] Lights on? Lights off?

Today's poll ... when/if you are/were/would be getting naked with company, would you prefer to leave the lights on, or to turn them off? (Obviously referring to occasions when you have control over the lighting, such as bedrooms, rather than in, say, car parks ...) Poll answerers are hidden.

[MSc/Poll] Guess my girth!

Ok, the use of the word "girth" was mostly because it makes [livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren giggle. However, having decided to go to my MSc graduation, the next step is ordering the robes - which means knowing my diameter - chest measurement and head circumference.

[livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren is going to measure them both tonight, but in the meantime, how big do you think I am, baby?

[Poll #926350]

Nearest guess might get a drink or something. Possibly.

[MSc] Graduation

Given that I'm graduating a year late, due to Project Cock-Up, should I bother going to the graduation ceremony? I suspect most of my classmates who graduated will have done so last year, so I'll be with the following year's class. In addition, I need to pay for clown robes and so on. [livejournal.com profile] cookwitch has expressed an interest in attending, if I do, and [livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren is pretty sure that she has meetings that afternoon (20th March). Anyone else want to see me trip up on the top step and headbut whoever's doing the presentation in the groin (a traditional part of the graduation ceremony)?

How many MSc CompScis need to resubmit their project, on average?

And how come Computer Science is a Social Science? Surely, as [livejournal.com profile] valkyriekaren says, it's an antisocial science?

Following on from a musing about kissing, which way do you tilt your head when approaching a kiss? Towards your right shoulder or your left? Or do you just plunge on ahead, upright as the Titanic, until you collide with your partner?

[Poll #718007]

For the ambidextrous, please answer referring to your more dominant hand - eg the one you would write with or pick up a pint with.
