Little known fact: Hitler constantly berated his generals for their failure to adequately motivate German sausage makers and skin creme developers. He said over and over, "Give me sausages and skin creme and Germany will rule the Universe!" Go ahead, look it up.
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... 🤦🏼♂️😂
1am Monday here in Australia. Wanted something relaxing to doze off to. I laughed the whole way through it, mostly with my eyes closed. Next sleep relax idea🤔? lol Definitely not the 2 Ronnie’s lol 😂
There's lots more fun attempts to explain nature in ancient and medieval texts that get things bizarrely wrong. One of the most popular ones is the many attempts to describe and even represent sea creatures. Dolphins especially.
The senior Germans who were in charge of the insertion of Agents into Britain was Admiral Wilhelm Canariis & Hans Oster of the Abwer. Should have a film made about them. Hero's if it's true.
She always did. Like her answer on the best thing to wipe your ass with. And her answer on the reason they invented the chainsaw. I'm 100% convinced she read the questions beforehand
Eleanor married Henry II and he died in 1189. The Hundred Years War started during the reign of Edward lll in 1337 so Stephen is almost 150 years out. Oh dear...
Stephen was absolutely right - their marriage made the English kings significant landholders in France and vassals to the French king - eventually those territorial claims and the complex feudal allegiances resulted in the conflicts that originated the Hundred Years' War - I mean, it was literally triggered by a dispute over the Duchy of Aquitaine!
@cordobes Rather conflict among French claimants to the throne inspired Edward III to say he was the true heir since his mother Anne the "she-wolf of France" (who with her lover locked up her husband Edward II and had him murdered, was the sister of the king of France. This though the Salic law forbade a woman from inheriting the throne. The Norman kings of England at least until King John, second surviving son of Henry II, had owned large parts of France.
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.
At 8.50, Stephen; 'Eleanor married Henry II and that began the 100 Years War'. WRONG! The 100 Years War (not a war but a long period of instability, conflict and plagues) lasted roughly from 1330 to 1450. Henry (not yet the king) married Eleanor in 1152 and became HenryII two years later. Really, Stephen! I expect much better than this from you.
I don't think he meant that it started right away, but that marriage _led to_ the starting of the Hundred Year's War. I.e. without that marriage, it likely wouldn't have happened.
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
Oh my god how awful for you, who didn't bother to consider your emotional fragility and not even bother with a trigger warning for you especially that this contains a woman hosting the show in some of the clips? Bad enough they have let her successfully host for years despite your sensitivity
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.
Mental😂
Check out her sitcom, Getting On, where you get to see her as a nurse.
Sausages and hand cream.
I think there's been a terrible misunderstanding.
16:40 "Prussian Roulette" was right there!
German sausages and NIVEA handcream. Of course! The basic necessities of life. 🙂
Yes and combining the two for four times the fun
Found the Kraut
@@MaryAnnette631 no shit Sherlock.
Little known fact: Hitler constantly berated his generals for their failure to adequately motivate German sausage makers and skin creme developers. He said over and over, "Give me sausages and skin creme and Germany will rule the Universe!" Go ahead, look it up.
You must use the sausages and hand cream at the same time to prove you are a true German
i love alan trying to gently guide stephen like "she knows loads about drugs.... because shes a *nurse*....?"
And then Jo instantly ruins it herself 😂
- It's nine o'clock in the morning, Rolf!

No. The Greeks just convinced everyone they invented persuasion.
Thats an easy thing to do when you are the guys who invented persuasion.

"Alan partridge Nomad audiobook" should be on youtube =] hope you enjoy
Gonna be honest, I didn't even know the Greeks knew what otters were
Imagine though if one ancient Greek had seen the world's craziest otter actually murder a crocodile and thought all otters did that.

The Penalty of the Sack was very effective. Newcastle is noted for sobriety to this day.

Wrong punishment... Too drunk to notice, I suspect! The 'Drunkard's Cloak' is what you're looking for, or not... :)
Sandi mentioning food poisoning about the sausage shows she knew exactly what the answer was 👌

@@mohamedal-ganzoury3699
I think at the point she first went on the show everybody would get the questions before the show.
0:03 Were they were the very model of a modern major general?
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!

I did. It wasn't too bad for an off the cuff comment though, and, politely, its Rob. 😅

Ok pal😂
If we're boasting, I once shared a spliff with Mick Jagger in the voice box of Red Lion Studios, Barnes.

My exact thought when he said that as well

I can lick my elbow, i know others who can too
Form an elbow lickers association
Didn't Edward III start the 100 years war? That was some hundred years after Henry II.
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”
A lateral thought.
A little bit of stumpage
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

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
Oh my god how awful for you, who didn't bother to consider your emotional fragility and not even bother with a trigger warning for you especially that this contains a woman hosting the show in some of the clips? Bad enough they have let her successfully host for years despite your sensitivity
Do people not like Sandi for some reason or something?
I often wonder why they had other people on the show when Fry does most of the talking.
You don't like Fry?
