There's something about Greg Davis that I think might be a bit douchey, but overall, I think he's HYSTERICAL! I first seen him on an episode of Would I Lie to You where he was filling in for Lee, and found him amazingly funny. That face he did of the angry Spanish grandpa was hilarious! COOSH-ON!
+Norman But to be fair, I found his comment on the dead bunny just wrong. He was there to fill in for Lee, because Lee's brother had just commited suicide by swallowing pills. Why'd you then ask Amanda; 'When your rabbit died, did stuff come out of his mouth?"
They're the absolute worst. It's not so much the wheeled suitcase itself, its the combination of those with a society that has absolutely no social awareness. People in the UK, US, and commonwealth countries seem to have such a lack of spacial awareness that it comes off as a sense of extreme entitlement, as if every public space belongs to them and only them, and everyone else should be going way out of their way so they can own the space. Basically, good people with wheeled suitcases are fine, but most people are the worst.
@@aenamabag I've good very good spacial awareness. I love using my suitcase as a weapon. For example, when trying to get off a bus, and some prick doesn't want to wait for passengers to disembark, my little suitcase smashing them in the legs tends to make them step back and hopefully learn some manners.
@@helvete983 I think you've just made a good distinction between spacial awareness and social awareness. You, personally, might have both and use your wheelie luggage as a weapon, because you have to due to the broader societal lack of social awareness. Fair enough, fight fire with fire I guess. The general use of the wheelie luggage still blows.
@@aenamabag In fairness, about 95% of people using these that I encounter just use it for convenient travel, and yes there's about 5% of them who are dickheads. Just about the same percentage as drivers I'd say.
Have to disagree strongly. She's great... really funny in this episode and generallly, great interaction with Ben and above all I really love her accent
Oh fuck, umbrellas... Just something other people shove in your face, making them take up waaay more room on the sidewalk than one person needs. Years ago I started just wearing a jacket with a hood instead. Just as good for keeping you dry (as if water was harmful in the first place) and doesn't poke people's eyes out.
@Wubba Wubba lies!!! I can be minding my own business as a quiet shy person on the walkside and people are always threatening with their umbrellas.... Thankfully they are not arseholes here cos they keep moving it out of my face as they realize there's not much place to move to. You must live near some very broad alleys or have a height that makes you less eye-pokable.
Street Porter's talking bollocks. There's this thing called a rucksack. I've literally seen her wear big rucksacks on telly whilst walking and talking about how much she like going on long walks, when presumably she also wears a rucksack. She's choosing to wheel that thing around because she wants to, not because she in any way can't carry on her back the amount of shit you put into one of those smaller cases that are often on wheels.
I'm all for feminism but not if it means someone's going to be condescending about it.... She could've put out the wheeled luggage debate on just the physical toll of a carry bag and convenience of it
I lived in Germany for 10 years and they would often show clips of ordinairy people being asked questions that they obviously knew nothing about but answered anyway. It was brilliant! Just because there was a camera on them, grown men couldn't own up to the fact that they knew nothing about what was asked and started to make up facts and opinions, with the presenter asking follow up questions that made it even worse! I'll bet Greg would watch those....
I'm not a great fan of female comedians (big surprise, neither are most people), but I actually really like Roisin. She comes across as real, unlike certain others who just seem like try-hards. Katherine Ryan makes me want to be blind and deaf, and Sarah Pascoe is too "I'm so clever", when she's not. I'm not having a go, just saying.
Suitcases with wheels are useful for people with disabilities. My mum couldn't ever go on holiday without them; she has major problems with her back, neck and legs. It's painful for her 24/7, and she's also tiny, with very little strength. The wheels are the only way she's able to go on holiday. That one's unfair; it's assuming that everyone is in 100% physical condition...
Ben Hobson exactly I know a woman who has severe back and spine problems and if she couldn’t travel she’d go insane and suitcases with wheels really help her
I think you're misinterpreting his complaint. If, say, half the population went around in wheelchairs because they're comfortable and he went on this show to complain about there being too many people around in wheelchairs, his complaint obviously wouldn't be aimed at the people who need to use wheelchairs. The vast majority of people who use smaller cases on wheels could easily carry the items in that case in a rucksack.
Janet Street Porter continually calling people posh as if it's something to be ashamed off, he may be posh but she has zero class, and that is really not nice. She is a vile human being.
+LuRawen I do the same, but I rarely get treated well by 'gentlemen' under 60 (and above 60 usually hold the door open and then make explicit comments about my dress or my evening-plans and I don't like that.) The worst moment for me, was when I sat on the stairs in a trainstation, crying and holding my stomach. And a very heavy book-suitcase at my feet, that I needed to carry up the stairs. A guy around the age of 22 came up to me (I was 18) and asked me if I needed help. He sat down next to me and said; 'Are you hurting, you seem like you're in need of help. Tell me, do you perhaps use medication, do you have an illness of some sort? Do I need to call a friend for you? I'll sit with you untill the train comes alright? And I'll help you with that suitcase." I answered: 'Thank you so much. I'm not really in actual danger, don't worry, I have a woman's problem, but I very much appreciate you sitting next to me." He said; 'What, a woman's problem?" and I whispered; 'I'm actually on my period, my stomach is cramping." He stood up without saying a word and just walked off. And left me with my pain and shame on the stairs, carrying the heavy bag on my own and loudly bursting into tears on the train, while I layed horizontally on the trainseats and tried not to vomit. I mean...I wish I could go back and time and ask the guy why he did that. It was the moment I réálly needed some gentleman to help me, he gave me the hope that he was someone like that and then just walked off because I said; 'Period.'
She has a long history of playing the "I'm so outspoken and edgy/telling it how it is" person. Every time she appears on a show she acts like this, the fact she kept attacking Ben every chance she had is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how nasty she is. Some people think she's OK because of her 80s feminist credentials but this sadly lets her get away with saying things that reflect badly on women in general, as people aren't always really listening to what she's actually saying.
What a nasty bitter person she is. She was on the offense from the beginning of the show and gets offended when anybody disagrees with her. If you took the essence of her and Elizabeth Warren and bottled it, you would have one hell of a fart spray.
This ONE woman shouldn’t reflect “how all women are”. No two women are ever the same. Women are not a monolith. And her “feminism” isn’t even true feminism.

Wow, it must be nice to be Ben...Because like Janet said he must have the luxury to not need to bring anything with him... The last ten or so times I've been at the airport was me moving, carrying around 100 KG worth of stuff in suitcases, carry-on, personal bag, jacket and cargo pants. And then I've had to walk multiple kilometers with all that. And this..this..fellow...dislikes me for that. What a chap...
on the wheeled suitcases , i see the point with small ones, but when you have a huge one that would be physically hard to lift , then i think its fair to have wheels
Ben Fogle’s suitcase bit... quite selfish and unacceptable, when he’s an elderly man he will use it. 100%. but of course, someone like Ben Fogle upon his retirement would have a lot of money he’d probably just pay someone to carry his bag for him, which fits his upper-class classy card very well 😂
Today basically every suitcase has wheels. I actually googled suitcases without wheels and I got a bunch of vintage suitcases for sale secondhand. You can still get dufflebags & other small carry-on size bags without wheels but you'd have to really search to find a normal modern suitcase being made today without wheels. Softsided suitcases are getting more rare as well but that is probably more to do with needing something really durable to survive the torture commercial airlines put our bags through these days.
I'd seen nasty comments about Janice before...and she was very nasty on WILTY as well. Yet I saw a bit of this video where she was nice, so I decided to watch this one anyway. ...but then she just said that a random guy..telling his girlfriend he wants to marry her ('no just kidding, I'm breaking up with you') is great? I mean, nevermind the reason for breaking up for a second (because you don't know what it is, I'd figure if she'd cheated, he would've surely mentioned that on his signs) that is horrendous either way! Why does Janice think this is great?! What is wrong with her? Also, I've never had anyone hold the door open for me because I'm a woman, but I have to say, it'd be very nice to encounter someone one day that does. Just because it's nice and polite, and I'll say; 'Thankyou sir', smile and move on with my life. Why is she so agressively against that?
I've never seen the Robson Green fishing show, but that was a fairly impressive fish in the clip. I doubt it was 500lbs, but it's not unreasonable to be tired after reeling that in.
Suitcases on wheels is such a stupid thing to put in! I'm a guy who can carry a suitcase, but wife, although strong, is not AS strong in reality as she is in her head and she would snap her spine in twain before letting me carry a suitcase for her. So I'm very glad that hers has got wheels on and I'm soon to upgrade from 2 to 4, because 2 is a ridiculous number of wheels to put on. 4 wheeled cases are the future Frank! Sorry buddy!
well I really dont like the level of noise that comes from suitcases on wheels but that's mostly when I'm the one using the suitcase.. also I tend to hold it directly behind me when walking in the airport so as not to take up too much space.
O.O What the good-god-damned-fuck Frank? "I find it really reassuring when people don't know about stuff" and "I wrap myself in the warm blanket of ignorance and I'm glad that we're all ignorant together" That has to be the most disturbing sentence i've heard someone say on television.
I have no idea what you mean by "elbowing her way up the food chain", or what "difference" Frank supposedly pointed out. She made her submission to Room 101 perfectly clear: Selective feminism, meaning women who claim they want to be treated equally but then expect to be treated better simply because they're women. She a hypocrite for pointing out that hypocrisy...? Once more RU-vid posters achieve something I thought was impossible: making me take Janet Street Porter's side. Wow.
It looks like, in the new format, they try to put in 1 suggestion from each guest, even if one of them has 3 good suggestions or 3 horrible ones. The old format was much better, IMO.
Janet Street Porter's in a time warp. She's still fighting feminist battles that were won 30 years ago. Most people, in my experience, either don't open doors for anyone or do it for everyone, irrespective of their gender.
Had to pause when Frank said JSP played "The Class Card" mainly as a concept, "Class" never made sense. But, I'm Australian and therefore have no "Class". (and, yes. I DO get the double meaning of the line, it's why I use it) Which makes it easy to spot someone whose ambition may skew their moral compass. Her first choice, the words she used they sound so familiar, it's almost like a mantra. Logically based on her past inaction she should be speaking out about it 20 years from now shouldn't she?
They need to get more comedians, that get that it´s not about griping, but about being funny while incidentally griping. Everybody on this episoe except Greg Davies was just a bit whiny.
maybe the bloke who hates greg davies is joking but i suppose u wouldnt joke to someone who youve never spoken to before but maybe the bloke is mistaking greg for someone else
01:40 she says jingoistic (which might be where I misheard), yet she goes on to mention what blokish television it is despite the fact that like she says, women fish just like men so why assume no women watch (not to mention attacking Ben for no reason)? She has been a figure in UK media since the 80s, and when people say such things it is based on what we have observed of her in many different situations. It isn't merely based on this show alone but there is little room here to describe that.
She's not hating men, she's saying women shouldn't expect men to give them special treatment as if they were invalids, and less of that can only be GOOD for men, can't it? If I were a man I'd find the expectation of "chivalry" (special treatment) demeaning to me as a man.
Well, it's actually demeaning to women -- as it assumes they are too weak -- or too stupid? -- or otherwise too helpless to open a door for themselves. For men it's just another irritating socially enshrined expectation on a long list. When it finally dies its deserved death I'll raise a half-hearted cheer..... The really annoying one is the idea that somehow women are too frail to stand on public transportation and need to be given a seat at the first availability. If you can't manage to remain standing for between 10 to 40 minutes, you clearly can't handle a full-time job........
@@karmakutie1668 It's not about men and women, really; it's about Janet herself. She is so unlikable, unfunny and uncharismatic, and that's even before you add her horrible, nails on a chalkboard voice. Her points, if were presented by, say, Jo Brand, could have been funny and entertaining; but here, I just wanted to hit her face with a broom.
And she got a round of applause for it - not because the point she made was in any way worth making, but because she'd made such a scene it would be awkward if no-one applauded
I withdraw the comment since I don't want to make you defend the woman. She has been in the public eye more than usual so that even fools like me at the (as a former PM so kindly said) "arse end of the world" have noticed. Forgive the faux pas re BBC and LWT - I apologise, but if it's English TV I assume BBC. I'm sure, I mistook her terseness for rudeness when Frank said he'd open the door for her and she told him "don't bother" until he said he'd do the same for Greg and Ben and Piers Morgan.
Did you watch the episode? She doesn't hate him because of that. She's hating on _his show_, not him, because his show makes something that's generally thought to be a calm leisurely past time into an extreme sport with action and drama and physical battles. As in nothing calm can be enjoyable anymore, everything needs to be rock'n'roll and over the top. Makes sense really. Also she's quite sarcastic and deadpan.
