Hilarious QI Moment - Welsh Sat Nav 

"-_- Ohhh, ya plank, you missed it."

I don't drive, but if this satnav existed, I would buy it and attach it to my pedal bike to hear Rob's voice advising me :P

I sat here for about five minutes pressing 7 over and over to hear him say "Do a u-ey."

Love being Welsh.

He had, it was in the news recently that he did whilst filming abroad. Only survived because the producer of the show found him.

@NintendoDevil No don't worry, I'm welsh and it did sound like he said that

yes you can, a mates father has it. the irish one is hilarious as is the west country one.

Stephen Fry genuinely tried to kill himself like that. Awkward.

Funniest thing Rob has ever said

@datnotfair now that you mention it, i've never heard his voice..but his biography states that he was born ''Ravenscroft, Trellech, Monmouthshire, Wales''

Those are actually the second and third. The first was when he was 17. None of them involved a hose or a satnav, though.

Nicol Williamson.

@motorway6 And Timothy Dalton, Desmond Llewelyn and John Cale

i see why it would be popluar

@thomasimon And Bertrand Russell, and Dylan Thomas . and Ryan Giggs :)

@ellipsis000 Was Bertrand Russell welsh? I did not know that, He doesn't sound it.

give it a bash and let us know how it turns out

@thomasimon Or Catherine Zeta-Jones

@666BrotherofMetal [Flatly] One method to commit suicide is to stick a rubber tube into the exaust pipe of a car and feed it through the car window. Eventually the fumes cause the pilot's death by suffocation/poisoning. Basically the SatNav is saying "You are so awful at driving it is best you just die here and now"...

@ellipsis000 Don't know if I would qualify Ryan Giggs as 'greater,' instead of just 'more famous'

@mburke875 [Thoughtful] I think it would still work: even if most of the toxic gasses (NOx, CO etc.) are removed (and that only really happens 100% when your converter is in top condition and at a certain temperature) it is still a pretty foul gas mixture, and if you concentrate it in a small area it will probably suffocate you.

"Do a U-ee" hahahah

@Mrmilly911 He did not try it, he contemplated it.

that was an attempted drug overdose (drug as in 'prescription drug') not CO poisoning.

did he :O? when was this?

This is just a translation of the first Welsh you learn when you go there - araf .... Araf ....ARAF .... ARAF!!!.....ARAFWCH NAWR!!!

He did? I did not know that :(

@TheGlamazonFan Tom Jones might disagree as would Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins.

Trying to calculate your taxes comes to mind... Alternatively doing a Gigli+Baby Geniuses+Baby Geniuses 2 marathon if you are going for the "slow and excruciating" feel.

@ellipsis000 I am sure if it is the biography it is probably true

Uhm sort of. He was right that cars come with catalytic converters. He was nowhere in the vicinity of right when he claimed that the catalytic converter would stop you from committing suicide in that manner. There's still plenty of CO in a cars exhaust to kill you.

well, it's been a month now and still no reply, he must have been wrong...

@thomasimon if two out of my proposed three qualify for grandeur - well,fine and dandy :)!

@TheDoctorSubscribed [Grinning] I don't think you can actually get the SatNav, but if you put your mother-in-law in the back seat with a map, you can get pretty much the same effect (at least with the average mother-in-law) ^_^

@morthasa no longer works as most cars have a catalytic converter on the exhaust.

@MairBob Rob Brydon might just be the single greatest famous Welshman ever! :D

@Mia646 She's just more famous

Really?

LOL

no, actually he was right.

It's a joke, not real.

Dw i'n dwlyu aii xx

@justamick1 Both are delicious.
