    What did you give up for lent?


    Cocaine
    Sex
    Alcohol
    Sweets
    A bad habit
    Responding to polls
    Smoking
    Watching TV
    Celibacy


    No mess - thats the poll on the RTE website today [url]www.rte.ie.:rolleyes:[/url] Whats with these weird polls? Id expect more professionalism from RTE then this.



    Oh wait - no I wouldnt actually. I was watching the news the other night and the camera man decided to film the carpet for a while.:mad:

    BTW most said they 'Gave up replying to polls' in the survey - lol - whilst second was Cocaine. So thats how your licence fee is spent.

    I notice they left out the 'religion' option, what a shoddy poll.

    I hate those stupid ****ing polls on the RTE news site. Most of them have totally loaded answers. You can't just pick Yes or No, you pick "Yes, because... blah" depending on whatever lop-sided ****e whoever put it up wrote into it.
    For instance there was this one last week:

    Are you sick of the US primary process?
    54% Yes! When will it be over already?!?!
    46% No, it's a fascinating display of democracy

    Yes, all of those exclamation marks and question marks were present :eek:
