    since there was no valid option for me, I decided to go for atari jaguar. In fairness though, I think I would have chosen atari jaguar even if there was a valid option.

    Wheres the "I'm sponging off Eircom's dsl trial" option? Oh... there it is... Atari...!

    'Atari Jaguar' is a valid option by virtue of the fact that it's included in the poll.

    Invalid options would include "Purple is a fruit" and "One of its legs is both the same".



    Mental note: Never, EVER post a poll again.

    ffs, all this "arti jaguar" shíte just ruins polls IMO


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,274 ✭✭✭Monty - the one and only


    added an option and change the votes to suit it....

    "its my employers phone bill" dose not really count as in most cases, people get a connection through some form of pernament connection, therefore no phonebill for it.

    Oh really? So, essentially, you could change the poll to include the option "doesn't bother me because I get to read the meanderings of Monty the Sex God and that's worth every penny" and alter it to reflect 100% of the votes in that case...

    :D


    OJ, I don't mind adding Atari Jaguar to a poll because it acts as a fitting substitute for the "don't know/don't care/not applicable/no opinion" option.


    Mental note: Jesus, the next time you think of posting a poll, RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭Kairo

    yes, tis great Monty, at least until I get caught for not working!
    in my defence, one needs a little break now and again :o)

    (please, no one mention the fact that I am still looking at the screen and so therefore it is not really a helpful break)

    Why be a follower and not be a leader?
    you must have gotten it off someone off boards, and why don't you add the feature "don't know/don't care/not applicable/no opinion" its that easy, and the new people here can understand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭Baz_


    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAJHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now now OJ attack the poll, not the pollster. It's bad manners to be calling people weekminded. Sure do you not remember the poll that didnt have the atari jaguar option. That was ugly.

    Excuse me, just clearing my throat.


    Besides, I can't edit an already-posted poll, that's Monty's job.

    Goddamn it, you just gave him an idea!

    Give it a few days and you never know what Monty'll edit it to

    :):D:)

    Doesnt affect me cos would have spent the same amount of time on the internet anyways.
