Bees are our friends. While I would be out doing my driveway chalk drawings I was often buzzed but never bitten, they're too busy with the flowers to bother with people. Very Early in the morning the first to arrive would buzz around me, I would say, ''hello'' or ''good morning'' and they would buzz over to the russian sage flowers, busy bees
@@lobsters12111 Bees don't sting you if you leave them alone. If you flap about they will. Wasps are different, they will sting you for no reason whatever.
That’s not true with the Africanized bees they’re very aggressive and I had one chase me down when I started to rain got my shirt I went in the house and it stung me on the chest And I talk to a big guy be expert and he explained the Africanized bees at the queen is an Africanized bees there’s much more aggressive they’re mean bees and they saw there are friendly bees and not so friendly bees

You can become a general practitioner vet in 4 years. If you want to specialize you have to do a year long internship and then a 3 year long residency. And for even more specialized fields like opthalogical doctors it can be extra years of residency. But generally to be like a trauma surgeon or orthopedist or dentist or dermatologist and so on and so on it’s 8 years.
Nish saying "he's an upstanding member of society" and kind of confirming it by including that "he hasn't even taken cocaine despite the size and volume of his nose" cracked me up😂
2:30 I think that joke went over Holly’s head. In a perfect world, being employed as a war correspondent would mean having a job but not having to do any work.
The number sequence solution certainly could be 31 In fact most of the time it would be ...but it could also be 30 if the dots are spaced equally apart. In that case, the tiny triangle in the middle would no longer exist - it'd become a point. Meaning there are only 30 areas. It's not really a stable set to base a number sequence problem around. Or perhaps she could just qualify the explanation by saying: "placing dots IRREGULARLY around a circle"
19:40 The forms for entering the US are written this way allegedly for a simple bureaucratic/judicial reason: if the US catches a criminal who filled out a form, it can be easier to deport them for "lying on the form" than for the actual crime.
@23:30... Jaywalking is not taking seriously at all. In fact I don't think there's any law enforcement anywhere in the country that would even bother to scold a person for jaywalking even if they even danger their lives in the process of crossing a road unsafely when there was a crosswalk less than 300 ft away or whatever the cutoff is. Sorry QI research elves but I think you made that one up.
I would agree. I don't want to say it's impossible, because almost nothing's impossible...but I've lived in multiple US states and in very differently sized towns and cities, and I've never heard of anyone being fined for jaywalking. Even in the tiny town where I grew up where it sometimes felt like the police would pull you over just to have something to do.

She was just pointing out that the series 1 2 4 8 16 does not in any way point to 32 coming next - there's a lot of different sequences that begin as such and the obvious solution is no more correct than any other one would be.
@@stradivarius151 Rewatching it just now, the question is "what's wrong with this sequence" and "it should be 32" gets a klaxon. Then she says the thing about not enough info and goes through the circle thing, so that answer is basically "nothing is wrong with this sequence." But the question as worded requires that there IS something wrong with the sequence! I feel like Johnny Vegas here: it's like "why do columns around the Parthenon look straight" all over again.

You can't go to the bathroom, says Sandi...I appreciate that the series is to be sold to the U.S.,where no mention of bodily functions may be referred to on the screen, but surely "lavatory" is acceptable?

I think you are overthinking on that one, considering later on they talk for several minutes about bears explosively shitting after sleeping in winter.
Holly Walsh is ....... just delicious. A very very tasty dish. Her combination of cute, innocent looks and disgustingly dirty mind is just irresistible. ❤️❤️
I do wish that one day Nish will just shut up about his nose or about Bangala moves. He always says the same things, and he must know that it is not funny. Maybe he is the place that comedy truly goes to die.

so how many times in the playlist does one episode need to repeat?
"That one's a cow, that one's a horse." reminds me of the myth of cow tipping. There is no such thing, Cows sleep laying down.
Yes but its so fun as a joke to play on city slickers😂
2:30 I think that joke went over Holly’s head. In a perfect world, being employed as a war correspondent would mean having a job but not having to do any work.
The vet school thing: it’s 8 because you have to complete at least 4 years before you can even apply to vet school. Then, vet school is 4 years more

The answer could have been anything more than 16, since the only observable pattern was the numbers were increasing.
