      Dara actually said in one of the earlier episodes: "The news generator contains a bank of topics, it stops on a random subject and anyone can volunteer jokes about the subject it's landed on." (as he always does)
      Then he said "The winner is the team I judge to produce the funniest stuff" (as he always does), followed by "Not really, I just pick the winners at random. Please stop writing in to us."

      @@AutomaticDuck300 Yeah I think it really is random, but from what I've seen, the subjects are vauge, and they're all pretty much topics that stand up comedians would already do material on anyway, so whatever they get, they've already got stuff ready to go on that subject. They do part of their stand up routines.

    I use teabag saucers so my guests don't have to walk to the bin when their tea is ready. Plop the teabag on the saucer, drink your tea, have your conversation and I'll throw the bags in the bin when it's time to wash the mugs.
    Also, the teabags dry up so there's less dripping on the floor

    Why is the North South line drawn there? (Basically straight out from the Severn Estuary) To cut out Wales, Include Oxford and Cambridge, and yet keep Norwich in the north? Because it kinda looks like the North/South line was drawn by the south.

    the teabag saucer is to let it cool down so you're not throwing hot teababgs in the bin

    I look at that picture and just think why, in the fuck, is Wales on the North of that line? Culturally, they're exactly the same as the South West.

    There was no mention of tea saucers, only teabag saucer which is a different thing entirely. Though personally I need neither as I don't drink tea! 😂

  • @Maerahn
    @Maerahn 5 лет назад +23

    Okay, I'm gonna do this.... the reason for the teabag saucer is that, when you first pull the teabag out of the just-boiled tea, it's still hella hot and soggy, so if you drop it straight in the bin, chances are it'll melt through the plastic bin liner inside the bin and fall to the bottom, where it'll fester and grow stinky mould. So you put it on the teabag saucer to give it a chance to cool down and dry out a bit before you put it in the bin. You're welcome.

    • @decodolly1535
      @decodolly1535 5 лет назад +12

      You don't boil tea. Once made, with water just off boiling point, tea has to brew. During which time, it will cool slightly so the tea bag is never going to be that hot anyway. If your tea bags melt your bin liners you are buying some low quality bin liners.

      If you fish a tea bag out of a cup that is the temperature of molten pewter, you have a bigger problem than needing a way-station between the kettle and the bin...
