I had totally forgotten about the census but that was me! Story is that back in sixth year in school we had to do work experience. Having expressed interest in law, I was to shadow a local solicitor around for a couple of days. It so happened that one of his tasks that day was to go attend a meeting with a client who was in the jail. And so it came to pass that I briefly exchanged pleasantries in a corridor with the Lockerbie Bomber. I thought it was just a random guy at the time. Always a surprising answer when "famous people you've met" pops up as a subject 😅  

Aqaba, Jordon was not me though!

I hadn't caught up with this place for a while but I was in the pub with the lads and one of 'em came in and said Frankie had posted the census results.

 

You may have whooshed me here but is this a Peter Stanninforth reference?

That's Stainontrousersforth to you.

It’s really interesting to read this - my answers would have changed a fair bit since I filled it in - I’ve moved to the Highlands, All In 2026 happened (my new favourite wrestling event ever) and I have two new pets, who are both awesome (I’ve joined the forum’s cat owning contingency after firmly being on Team Dog for the bulk of my life…couldn’t bring myself to get another after our last one though) 

Thanks for all the hard work on this @Frankie Crisp, it was a brilliant read.

So UKFF very much has a preference for cats - as it should.

Nice to see Blues Brother ranked, and great to know someone had the pleasure of meeting "Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champ".

Springsteen at the top, you love to see it.

I was away at the time, I demand the census is redone!

[Accident Prone]

Democracy works. What a victory!

I'll let the cat out of the bag here and admit to being one of the two people who has met Trump (pre-presidency, I should add - back when he was simply the guy from The Apprentice) - I'm very curious as to who the other person is, if you're willing to share?

So above is the playlist of everyone who cast a vote. Its a disgrace that Beetlebum is top and has 2 votes because when you read through it God Only Knows is actually voted for 3 times. If I've got anything wrong then let me know.

There were so many spelling variations for nearly every free text category, a few things inevitably slipped through. I’ll try to do another clean up.

Great job, Frankie. 

My favourite answer was the average languages spoken. 1.4 is a damning representation of this country. Especially when the .4 is Butch's bits of Welsh.

Devastated to find out we have 7 tories. Obviously SuperBacon is one but, who are the other 6?

To be fair, we used to have 7 tories. At least 6 of them no longer plan to vote tory.

Yeah but 3 of them are voting Reform and 3 are voting Restore, so at least the vote has split.
