The Canadian one-dollar coin was dubbed 'Looine' because of the image of a loon on the reverse side. 'Toonie' was a natural progression for the two-dollar coin which has a polar bear on the reverse. As all Canadian coins have a portrait of Queen Elisabeth II on the obverse, this lead to some people dubbing the two-dollar coin the 'moonie"... Because it had the Queen on front with a bear behind.
Merry Christmas I love your videos and I have been watching them for the last 4 years since before I started my degree in ee and I still love them keep up the great work
Hi Clive, wasn't able to join, just wanted to stop by since you mentioned before that you might be checking comments afterwards. Have a merry christmas! Your technical expertise is inspiring, certainly played a part in doing and sharing my little projects, so thank you!
Merry Christmas Big Clive, Ralfy and kitties. Catnip is great fun at the house with my 4 cats. Furnishings can get overturned if I give too much. ~ I used to love watching Dave Allen here in The States, thanks for mentioning that old TV show. 😁 I enjoyed the entire re-play today. Your brother is great! You too, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year gentlemen.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Clive and Ralfy! I commented many times on the live feed, had to leave about 45mins in to go to a friend's for dinner. It is great to see the two of you together, I was drinking a (horribly flat) Guinness at the start, the stuff we get here in the US (Idaho) is really bad compared to the wonderful draft I enjoyed in Dublin and IoM. Wishing you all the best for the coming year, and hope to come back to IoM in the next few years.
Oh, now I have a need to see a Clive in a kilt! It’s because you have shown your furry self and bigness on camera, that drew me to subscribe! And a very knowledgeable big bear! Bigger Belly hugs for a Christmas present! 😊
Thank you Clive and Ralfy for your annual entertaining nonsense. Catching up on the stream to distract myself from the apprehension of moving house in the morning to live alone again and leaving my old man on his own too.
The comment of the year is when Ralph was burning his rum from Mighty Cat Mods------- "Why not throw on some furniture" The more I thought about it the funnier it became. Good one. Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year to BC and all his fans from an Australian fan. I am watching this on Boxing Day due to family gatherings yesterday.
8:30 in one show, Dave Allen revealed to the audience that the glass next to him contained coloured water. He then took a mouthfull, spluttered, and claimed that "another miracle" had just occurred. I didn't find him to be anti-religious: more that he was insulting in friendly teasing. At the time of his broadcasts I was in my religious phase and often thought that his reading was fair comment to some of the pretensions that we religious types practiced.
Cheers for this my dears, it’s a lovely way to spend an hour and a half while dinner is being processed and everyone is in the lull. Merry Christmas to you over there on Manx. Though it has to be said, you and Ralfy remind me somewhat of the film ‘Twins’….
very hot christmas sht you delivered, very good. This is a fact about cats: Cats can transmit diseases and parasites, especially when they roam outside and come into contact with other animals. Some of the diseases and parasites that can be transmitted by cats include: 1. Toxoplasmosis: An infection caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which is found in cat feces. Pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems should be especially cautious, as toxoplasmosis can have serious effects. 2. Worms: Cats can have various types of worms, including tapeworms, hookworms, and roundworms. These parasites can also be transmitted to humans. 3. Fleas and ticks: Cats can carry fleas and ticks, which can also transfer to humans and cause itching and disease. To minimize the risk of diseases and parasites, it's important for cats to be regularly dewormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and vaccinated. Additionally, litter boxes should be cleaned and disinfected regularly to prevent the spread of diseases.
Hello Ralf and Clive. Just rewatched this wonderful live stream it was so entertaining. When is the next one coming please? Can't wait. Happy new year.
Merry Christmas to you both. Thanks for the great videos. I wish you both a great New Year, may it be a magnificent year for you both. Hope it is filled with love and friendship.
A Merry Christmas to the brothers with arms. And a very prosperous or preposterous new year for 2024. There's one thing I don't get about Christmas. You've got the Nativity scene there with baby Jesus and Mary and her fella Joseph, and the three guy that brought potpourri. But you never see it from the perspective of Joseph as he comes to realise he's not the father at all, but the real dad is a Ghost. Hopefully AI can recreate that moment one day. All the best lads. 🍷🍷🍷
Really love both of you. 🤗 I missed this livestream. Will there be a livestream on new year? (I’ve done various chat things on new year and it’s fun. Since people are from different time zones, there’s “happy new year” several times during the time.)
I'm an ex-pat Brit, moved to the US 20 years ago. When I need to go back to my roots, it's either Ken Dodd or the Big Yin. Both masterful storytellers in their own fashions... ha.
Sorry I wasn’t about much, the mum in law has been diagnosed with the big C, this is on top of the father in law in remission. 2023 can do one! Best wishes Clive and TTIAH
Back in 2018 I was watching television, it was late & I was reclining on the sofa when I got that feeling I was being watched. I looked towards my bedroom (flat/bedsitter) & there was this woman staring at me. I felt no fear what so ever & got up & put my arms around her. She felt almost real, there was substance & then she simply melted into my body. The feeling was little electricity, I know because I've been electrocuted several times in the past. She was dressed in victorian, gypsy, steam punk clothing. I live alone, my door was locked, I'm teetotal & I don't do drugs.
Merry Christmas, a little late but still….. I hear that Ralfy has some of the best Scotch Wiskey set aside for his embalming fluid. Gents! Here ye, Here ye, Here ye As we now have a King sitting on the throne, you may resume the wearing of the Kilt, commando style. Ralfy be cautious of drafty days…….. Here is something for Ralfy to think about. The human spirit has been described as energy. Now we know that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So what happens to the human spirit once the human body shuts down for good. What happens to this spirit energy. Even among various religions they say there is a spirit within the body.
If you’re only going to decorate the tree ‘where people can see it’ maybe don’t have a mirror behind it? Oh well, fun stuff. I like how Clive is sat way back from Ralf but still looks twice his size, did you have a tall Milkman when you were kids? ;)
