Jo Brand being a mental health nurse is wild.
I knew the first bit but I didnt know she's a health nurse.
@@Clavers1369 Alan mentions the mental health part in another episode but yes she was a psych nurse. I believe it's the Van Gogh episode.
I think her comedy is a continuation of that service.
Sausages and hand cream.
I think there's been a terrible misunderstanding.
German sausages and NIVEA handcream. Of course! The basic necessities of life. 🙂
Yes and combining the two for four times the fun
Talking about royal divorces, when the Thai king got divorced (I think when he was a prince), he could say whatever he liked in the court, but his (now ex) wife couldn't say a bad word about him due to the Lese Majeste laws where it's an offence to say anything derogatory about the Thai Royal family... 🤦🏼♂️😂
Gonna be honest, I didn't even know the Greeks knew what otters were
Sandi mentioning food poisoning about the sausage shows she knew exactly what the answer was 👌
No. The Greeks just convinced everyone they invented persuasion.
*i onced shared a line of Coke with Stephan in the toilets of a club...and he still owes me!!*
Ok pal😂
Anyone else notice they either didn't hear or just ignored Ron's otter pun , probably cos of how bad it was
What, when, where?
WHY U NO TIMESTAMP!
@@ClaudeSacI think they meant to say rob
I did. It wasn't too bad for an off the cuff comment though, and, politely, its Rob. 😅
@@ClaudeSac00:37 «That’s an otter thing altogether»
Otterly
The Penalty of the Sack was very effective. Newcastle is noted for sobriety to this day.
Hic!
Wrong punishment... Too drunk to notice, I suspect! The 'Drunkard's Cloak' is what you're looking for, or not... :)
The ancient Greeks invented the steam engine?
Kinda. Google 'aeolipile'.
indeed! they came up with the idea of steam power long before anyone else but it was lost to history until recently when watt figured it out also
Sort of, Heron of Alexandria drew one in one of his books on mechanics and there were apparently models made but never a full sized one. Also it wasn't the piston kind of steam engine we know but a radial steam engine that just spun a expansion chamber by the power of a couple of angled steam exhausts. Completely impractical but it required most of the logic that led to the later engines. All it was meant to do really was demonstrate that steam could produce pressure.
@@HarSpec It wasn't actually lost, no one took the next step to make it practical until Watt but there were copies in most of the literary centers even before it was translated in the 1570s.

The Elbow thing isn't true. I know 2 brothers... One of which can just about lick his elbow whilst pulling at his tongue... The younger of the 2 can just comfortably lick away! They're both still alive, so at this stage they are living forever
In a later episode they actually docked points from him and had a woman in the audience that could lick her elbow
0:03 Were they were the very model of a modern major general?
A little bit of stumpage
I like Yuri manga.
Lick the inside of the elbow.
Easy
Man 1. “I once was so drunk, that I licked a womans navel”.
Man 2. “HA! I’ve been more drunk than that”
The title says: With Stephen Fry - liar!
It WAS with Stephen Fry. It didn't say 'only' with Stephen Fry. :)
WARNING!!! CONTAINS NEW QI WITH SANDI HOSTING TOO!
Well it being new QI would naturally mean she's hosting wouldn't it?
If you need a warning for every time a woman is on screen I’d recommend a stay in a psych ward
Thanks for the warning, too late for me unfortunately
