Well looking at the early results , I am the wrong age , marital status and live in the wrong area , thank god I have dangly bits come on the rest of ye married over 35's from munster ...get in there!

oh , and I think the reason for no poll in the occupation one is because he can't think of the words used to describe "work" . Huh ?....Did I say that out loud ?

No surprise in the results so far...

18-22 year old single males from dublin (although the 33 to 1 male:female statistic is interesting... I can only assume not enough people have seen it)

Hmm... surely it's only a Census if every member is contacted and asked to complete the survey ?

Aye, would it not have been easier to do out a web form, possibly using member accounts to authenticate against?

Data protection act. There would have to be some way to ensure that the member account was ONLY used for verfication or you are into the territory of sensitive personal data......

There are two places where the ages overlap, 30 and 22. If only I realised that due to the 22 as opposed to the 30.

Good idea.

So do you think single male twentysomething dubliners are ripe advertising fodder?

Does a one legged duck swim in a little circle?
