...an answer that has seen him dubbed the "Lib Dem Lothario" by some, while others have reinvigorated the nickname coined by his leadership rival, Chris Huhne: "Calamity Clegg". "Shagger" would also, of course, suffice.

I'm surprised they didn't come up with “Clegg over”. I think if I were a politician I'd not have answered the question at all, personally.

Didn't do Paddy Pantsdown much harm in the long run...

Nick Clegg would probably get Mark Morford's vote (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2008/04/02/notes040208.DTL&feed=rss.mmorford), and not just by virtue of being a Liberal Democrat.

Is this just penetrative stuff or does any kind of sex count ;)

[ewx.livejournal.com]

I think if the people involved think it was sex (and aren't complete fruit-loops) then it counts.

I don't understand LJ; but I had expected "results viewable to: None" to mean I wouldn't see the results. That's why one of your entries is a blank answer with "I'll tell you..." ticked. Yet I see the results.

Presumably "results" is LJ-speak for "raw votes"?

That's right.

Somebody used 'Clegg over' on R4 today or last night, I forget which.

Slightly odd scale is due to LJ imposing a limit of 20 items.

This is the kind of application that Renard numbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_numbers) (ISO 3) are good for. Taking the R10 series and rounding to the nearest whole number gives the following series of 19 items:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100

I'll do that next time...

I'm not embarrassed

15: of which 1 was a one-night-stand, 3 were with mates but didn't lead to going out, 4 were in short-ish relationships of a few months and 7 in long term relationships.

The Times used "Clegg-over" today, in the dead-tree edition at least.

[x] Calculating that number over the average friendslist caused a stack overflow, you insensitive clod!

There should have been an option for "I was forced to round up/down", I didn't feel it was fair to say "I lied" when I didn't have the option to tell the truth!

My total is actually the same as my current age (not for much longer though).

[ewx.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's lying if you've followed specific instructions to round...

[simont]

"But I lied ... twice."

[jiggery-pokery.livejournal.com]

I was going to make a very similar point. :-)

Like Hillary Clinton, we haven't lied; we have merely misspoke.

I had to round my cube number to a square number to enter this poll.

[ewx.livejournal.com]

From the possible candidates, one stands out as rather more likely than the others to have said that.

[atreic.livejournal.com]

I think you've slept with 8 people...

[kaet.livejournal.com]

There are few things you can make squarer by rounding them. Cubes may be a possible candidate.

[perdita-fysh.livejournal.com]

'1' seems like an odd number to have missed from the scale?

[nmg.livejournal.com]

Awww!

[ptc24.livejournal.com]

I note that of all the people (so far) embarrassed by "it's too low", none of those said "zero".

[sphyg.livejournal.com]

Quality beats quantity ;P

[ewx.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

I went with actual shagging. If we're talking third base, add 3.

If tennis with puppies doesn't count, baseball definitely doesn't!

I can't really remember, especially for the early 90s. I made my best estimate.
