QI XL Full Episode: Quarrels | Including Aisling Bea, Jason Manford & Anuvab Pal 

Same thing in New York City!

Anywhere in the US I’ve been everyone stands on the right too, except for the odd person here and there. It’s just like car traffic here, where you leave the left side for passing

@@hannathompson7998 Not when you're old and cantankerous like me. 😈🙄😉

Same thing in Japan. The right side is for standing and the left side is for walking.

In Australia, where I live, cars are driven on the left hand side of the road; and we stand on the left on escalators. So, for countries that drive on the right, it makes sense to me that it’s in the “muscle memory” of the people of those countries, to stand on the right of an escalator. Why London is different, bewilders me. 🦘🇦🇺

That's brilliant, fuck standing

That would be brilliant for Kevin "Bloody" Wilson's mate Nigel! He could "reserve" a spot with his 1 flip flop - and even a second if he happened to ever find another 1! 🤣🤣🤣

I love learning weird shit like that. I'll need to hear it from a second source before I believe it, but I'm going to repeat it anyway,

​@spadebraithwaite1762 Please 😊 just because something is repeated, it's not the reason to accept that thing as evidence, fact, thus worthwhile believing, for the MOST famous and obvious examples of things to NOT to believe is the all to often repeated gibberish on documents about fictional magic skymen U Know those stories 😢

In all of Australia, same as on the road.

I went to Japan last year and found out that they stand on the right in Tokyo. I then travelled to Osaka and they were all standing on the left... It was bizarre, particularly for a foreigner lugging a suitcase around and trying to remember which side to stand!

Yes, but almost all places in the world do NOT do that. Why would you think they do?

I know! That threw me off guard in London too. Makes no sense.

What? Different places have different customs? No way!

That's because you drive on the wrong side of the road.

I'm convinced none of them take it seriously lol!!!

I agree.

The points don't matter

@@jimmygoodrich9590 That's Whose Line.

it's because the London Underground was designed by an American

Yes! I thought Sandi was going to bring that up. You don't inflate the life jacket inside the sinking plane, as you will become buoyant inside the cabin and unable to exit the door.

I got no ads at all, and I was expecting them.

Aww.

Pity she's completely insufferable.

It's the place to go for cheap top surgery.

To be fair, she has a difficult job. Listening to four crazy people and responding to them, looking at her cards making sure that the segment has been satisfactorily answered and that she has said her texts, and then trying to think how to bring the show to the next section. There is also a producer/director giving instructions in her earpiece.

@@Brinta3 Yeah, I’m sure the jokes at the end of each section are pre-written. Aisling just organically got to it first.

@@jeffmansfield914 That’s not what I meant. I believe it was a spontaneous joke, but Sandi is so busy in her presenting role that she accidentally repeated the joke.

@@Brinta3 Oh, no, I got you. I was just adding that bit about the joke being pre-written. There’s usually a little scripted joke at the end of a segment, before moving on to a completely new topic. That’s how it seems to me, anyway. It’s not a criticism; I love the show.

@@jeffmansfield914 Okay, now I understand what you meant. Aisling improvised a joke that happened to be in Sandi’s script as well.

At 30:22 Aisling jokes that you can’t really brag about fighting in such a war, and then Anuvab immediately makes a similar joke.

Great observation

He says it himself as Anuvab

There's a study that shows a massive link between lead and violence. Violent crimes have been falling since unleaded fuels came into play in the majority of countries. Algeria, Iraq, Yemen, Myanmar, North Korea and Afghanistan are (I believe) the only countries still using leaded fuels. There's a lot to blame Thomas Midgley, Jr. for, from developing the tetraethyl lead additive to fuel, to Freon - chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's).

@@thegreyarea-WPP Was Midgley the one who ended up paralyzed because of playing with the wrong chemicals, and invented a "getting-out-of-bed-device" that ended up killing him? (If they bring it up in the episode, please disregard -- I'm only halfway through)

@@typacsk Yes indeed. I had forgotten this for a while so thanks for reminding me of it. He contracted and was paralysed by polio at the age of 51, something which usually only tends to occur in children aged 5 and under. Whether or not his creations are linked to his late contraction of polio are debated, but it is certain that his rope and pulley system, designed by him to enable others to easily lift and move him, was the cause of his accidental death by strangulation. To quote Bill Bryson from his book - A short history of nearly everything; "With an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny, Midgley invented chlorofluorocarbon CFC that is eating our ozone layer in the stratosphere and tetraethyl lead that spread devastation to human health by killing millions from lead contamination and increasing the lead content in our bones and blood 650 times the normal dose." If you've had the joy of reading Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, you might draw comparisons between Midgley Jr. and B. S. Johnson, though Midgley Jr. certainly contributed to more hige issues than any fictional character.

It can be confusing for tourists visiting countries where cars are driven on the opposite side of the road to what they're used to, so those signs are helpful reminders. However, in many cities pedestrians these days just don't care about following convention!

I don’t know whether you look like the Taskmaster or not.

The new season premieres on the 11th of November👍

@@alexsteinbach2482 Awesome ‼️👏🏻👍👍Thanks😊

Get a louife barbie

@@carlieewitzig147 Get a spell check carlee

@@barbarahamme2760 I love how you told her to get a spell check, but you couldn't even type her name right. Talking about needing a spell check.

.....pardon?

@@Plant_Parenthood felt clearly put, and in political satire, but sure. I'll poke this fire. Brexit has gone on longer than the 4 year term of presidency that Trump was officiated for. I dont know how you didn't get what I first put, but I'm suspecting you have a specific angle you want to share.

@@PimpMacSlickBac I just wasn't sure what you were trying to get at. I don't understand the connection you are trying to draw between how long brexit takes and how long trump was in office. So I thought that maybe I misinterpreted your comment. It was not as clearly written as you may think.

@@Plant_Parenthood well I apologize for that. Basically, they made jokes about Trump in the video, and it is funny that Brexit has become such a show. Have a good night, sorry for the confusion/confrontation.

@@PimpMacSlickBac Ah okay, i see what you were going for now. No worries man. Have a good one.

Speak for yourself and the minority who shares your dislike.

I like her a lot.

Okay.

I'd say it's the decline in playing knucklebones

​@@droopy_eyesNever trust research prior to 1990 at the very least. Much looser, worse methodology. If the evidence isn't modern, it's not evidence.
