Q24 - Who Will Have The Best 2018?

The majority of us (62.5%) expect to have a better 2018 than 2017.  However, who will actually have the best one?

There is a risk that I've already presented this answer, apologies if so.

There is one person that we are clearly expecting to have the better 2018.  I sense that we will live vicariously through him.  Hopefully he will let us share in his joy.

Merry Christmas Team!

Which Member of The Team Will Have The Best 2018?

Q23 - What Do You Want For Christmas?

It's almost here.  Many of the Team are flush with cash, but will we get what we want?  I know I won't get my request.  The two people who want me for their Christmas present will also likely be disappointed.  Although the survey is anonymous, I think we all feel for Matt who wishes for his building work to be completed.

Let's hope that we are at least able to get the Team seeing each other more in 2018 (and world peace, obvs).

What Do You Want For Christmas? - verbatim results

• A finished house with no more building work
• A new guitar
• You
• World peace, man.
• The team to see each other more in 2018
• You
• Beeny
• More team interaction

Q22 - Best Christmas Movie

Of all the things the Team have done together, I don't recall us ever going to the cinema together.  Do we have the same taste in movies?

What Is Your Favourite Christmas Movie?

Home Alone – 4

Elf - 1

Love Actually - 1

Robocop - 1

A clear winner.  I need to rewatch Robocop for additional festive cheer.

Here's some highlights from the Home Alone movies:

Q21 - Best Christmas Song

For this question, we were asked for our favourite Christmas song.  There was one clear winner:

Though this has a twist - it has Ronan Keating on lead vocals! 

Here are the verbatim results:

Fairytale of New York

Fairytale of New York (pogues)

Stay Another Day

Mistletoe & Wine

Band Aid (the New One)

Barenaked Ladies Christmas Album – not a song

Pogues – a band, not a song *I have assumed this means “fairytale of new york”

Last Christmas

Even though it's not the answer I gave, here is a song I always think of both Christmas and The Team.

Q20 - The Best Stag

The Team benefits from great stories from epic stag parties.  They make me nostalgic for a time when I could drink more than 2 beers without experiencing a multi-day hangover.  The memories bind us and always make me smile.

But which was the best?

What Was Your Favourite Team Stag And Why?

Results:

Matt’s - 3

Beeny’s – 2

Amy’s – 1

Madrid (not a stag) – 1

All of them - 1

Verbatim:

• Beeny's - our first ever, 3 nights when I was young enough to handle 3 nights. Schuperman.
• Beeny's - team chaos at its best.
• Dublin. Young and care-free
• Madrid (not technically a stag but it defined the genre)
• Impossible to choose - to many hilarious moments on all ... Hitty dressed as a China man, Pips as TOGITV voting into a bucket at lunchtime, Beeny “shaving the world” as Superman
• Barca - carrying Matty down Las Ramblas and then he coming alive again a few hours later
• Barcelona. We were young and could still party (and Matty's fancy dress)
• Matt's - Barcelona was the height of our powers. I will never forget his resurrection
