I had no idea Mr Lock had been on so many Qi. It's lovely to be able to see him again. Gone but will never be forgotten. An actual legend in his own lifetime 😂😂😂
24:00 When i was a teen, we went on holiday to Majorca. We met a young German lad who had been living in England for a year for school, so he had picked up our sense of humour. One night, we were leaving the disco at about 2am, and as he walks away after we all say good night he said "i go put my towel out now!" and we all fell about laughing.
That would be good, you're right. But also how about we just be grateful that someone uploaded these highly convenient, uplifting compilations for us to enjoy for free.
Most (all?) of these clips are pulled from the QI RU-vid channel, which has already cut them that way. You can tell because occasionally there’s a tiny bit of the outro audio the QI channel uses left in that this channel cuts out when compiling the clips.
Ronnie Biggs worked at Channel 10 Adelaide in set constraction. A journalist walked past hm in the canteen one day they put two and two together at their desk....... By the time the cops came, he'd done a runner. But yes,correct - their fingerprints were all over the Monopoly game!
Fun fact - (with regards to Auld Lang Syne) in some parts of China, to mark the end of the work day, they actually play Songbird by Kenny G! Every day!
26:50 when I was 7 years old, my family and I lived in Germany and we kids would race snails down the front steps as a game, Other times we would wear the snails on our face. Thank you Stephen Fry, for the memories.
FYI - John O'Groats is not the furthest northerly point of uk, it's Dunnet Head to the west near the late Queen Mother's Castle of Mey. Been there seen it Dunnet!! SLG South Africa
You CAN smoke cannabis mixed with tobacco as long as you keep your tobacco hidden. Once its in the joint the police dont have the right to open up your joint so you're fine. Outside, you csn smoke whatever, wherever, just around central station and the old city centre, you might get a fine....but probably not as most inhabitants AND the police oppose the restriction. I know this because i work in a coffeeshop in the centre of Amsterdam and explain these ridiculous rules daily.
I had a great time in Amsterdam for obvious reasons, and every coffeeshop I visited offered straight cannabis, cannabis with tobacco and cannabis with hash prerolled. It was genuinely this episode of Qi that set my expectations for how difficult it would be to have a spliff in your wonderful city.
Brilliant! The only thing more awesome than people with superpowers or pirates would obviously be pirates with superpowers. Best anime ever! And the Netflix live action is surprisingly amazingly good
The fact about slavery is incorrect. Slavery was abolished in the early 1800s. "Anti slavery day" was started in 2010. Its purpose was to "raise awareness"
On the Grummens.... Clearly egree ahead of rear drive axle affects turning at speed and wieght/load transfer Thank God you elect smarter presidents than zero degree anybody as your country has done in the past. :)
Galileo’s reasoning about gravity and falling was stupid. He said that if a light object falls slower than a heavy object, then if you attach them together, the light one will slow the heavy one down, and the heavy one will speed the light one up, which is impossible, therefore they must fall at the same speed. Although his conclusion - that they fall the same speed - is correct, but he’s not correct that it’s impossible to have one thing speeding another up, and the opposite doing the opposite. It’s essentially what a parachute is - the parachute slows down the person, and the person makes the parachute speed up.
The enormous outline of a spider amongst those of the South America Nazca desert is identifies as coming from Brazil. On one leg is it's male sex organ
The parrot is an animal that is zoned in to the noises of those around them. It learns its sounds from its own kind in the wild they live in flocks... its all it knows.. u take its flock away... and become its flock i will learn from u... 😢 its 😔
At 19:42 - number of president. When you write a "4", it can be mistaken for an "A", and "5" can be mistaken for an "S", and when you write "TRE45ON" it spells Trump - who was the 45th.
You mean treason like selling political favors in exchange for millions of dollars run through dozens of shell companies to 10 different family members who commit felony tax evasion while The bag Man also commits foreign agent registration act violations in addition to the felony tax evasion, bribery, extortion, and a few other felony crimes? That would be Biden not Trump
Door Doof music in Supermarkets. For Shoppers in a hurry Maybe Obama knows something he had recently found out. Like a nod to the people into conspiracies.
@zirk007. His humour comes from acute and subtle observation. It is self-mockery in that he projects a certain kind of over-the-top Welsh earnestness. The “character” has no sense of humour whatever. And that is very funny in itself. You either get it or you don’t.
26:30 this thing with the snails, i wonder if is what i once saw. 2 snails on adjacent electric junction boxes, both were on the exact same spot on their own box, and could see the trails they'd left which were also the same. It caught my eye how they were matched
