I learned about the "Cockney rhyming slang" from my best friend when I was 12 (30+ years ago). We were in California. He was the son of a pair of South African missionaries. If he was really hungry, he would say he was "f---in' Hank!" ==>Hank Marvin ==>Starvin' Completely updated my understanding of the use of language.❤❤❤ Thank you, Danny.🙏🏼 I miss you.

Jimmy was wrong, not all native mammals in Australia are marsupials, there are many species of bat native to Australia. I know he said Australasia but he clearly meant Australia, the only marsupials in New Zealand were introduced. Also Stephen was wrong saying that marsupials aren't mammals, they are mammals, mammals are any animal that produces milk and are usually divided into three groups, placental mammals, marsupials and monotremes.

@@fredelmo I know exactly what you mean. 😁 It's because almost all "medium-'strength" beers/lagers (ie cans of Stella, Fosters, Heineken, Carlsberg etc. at ≤5%), they ALL just taste like bland, fizzy water! And a lot of them are brewed under the Interbrew company (conglomerate?🤔), and so yeah, all that shit is the same dull, watery stuff. Just very diluted alcohol. So *_I_* like a strong, "super-strength" beer, like; Karpackie 9%, if there's none of that then I'll have a Kestrel Super 9%. After those it's Carlsberg Special Brew 7.5% and/or Tennent's Super 9%. Karpackie is Polish and pretty much *_THE_* cheapest "Super-Strength" canned beer. Pretty much all these beers have a stigma to them! 🤔😁🤷🏻‍♂️ But the thing is, is that it actually *_DOES_* taste nice indeed! Goes down easy and is super easy to drink, hence it could be quite dangerous! LoL! Carlsberg Special Brew used to hold the crown for taste and value. Right up until Carlsberg changed the recipe to bring the strength (and alcohol tax!) down from 9% to 7.5%! So it tastes a pale second to how it used to. Er... Sorry, just waffling on as usual, and half-drunk coincidentally as usual! 🤔 🚬✌🏻😁👌🏻🍺 🚬🤘🏻🤪🍻🫠👍🏻 Almost everything on the shelves is just weak-ass piss-water, so I only ever drink cans that are over the aforementioned 7.5%! 😁👍🏻 All because the stronger beers have *_some_* actual flavour too them!

IIRC the issue with something like a biro / regular ballpoint, is that pens has to be sealed for safety. Sealed non-pressurized pens of the sort, in zero g, would work fine, until the ink right at the end was spent. After that, the seal at the end prevents most or all of the ink from moving, because the ink is too thick to allow air to pass through it inside the container or around the ball. No air in to displace ink => no ink out. These days ballpoints leak less and the secondary container, the outer shell, holds enough gas to displace the tiny amount of ink inside the primary container and allow it to flow out.

For a second, Alan's question of whether 'Outer Space' is defined by the distance from the Earth or the Sun seems naive, but it's actually not a silly thing to ask. He's thinking of 'Interstellar Space', which begins at the Sun's "Heliopause", the point where the solar wind goes no further. The reason Clarkson is defiant about the altitude of space, is because there are two definitions, one being the US Military's original, somewhat arbitrary number, and the other is the more standardised international measure, which I believe is defined by the point where an object can no longer ascend beyond via lift or bouyancy, (as in, an aeroplane or balloon), and needs rocket propulsion (or an equivalent) to go higher. Amusingly, this means that those billionaires who flew up in rockets recently didn't actually reach space. Also, the Earths atmosphere continues a fair way into space. It just gets thinner and thinner, rather than suddenly ending. So the Space Shuttle Orbiter would technically orbit within the upper atmosphere, since it usually stayed in a low orbit.

a space-ladder... if you will.. I think it was thought of in the 1890's? He's only about... 100 years too late to the concept lol

Nylon precursors now are overwhelmingly made from crude oil now. The coal tar process just couldn't keep up with demand.

Me, neither! And I don't get it. I've Prime and Britbox. They aren't on there either. Just eps from M, I think... Not that I don't enjoy the compilations of the earlier ones on YT. But it's frustrating not to be able to watch them in their entirety.

just looking at the Ladder mentioned by Jeremy at 1:42 the concept does exist in the form of a Space Elevator literally a lift that goes all the way to space

Stevens wrong about marsupials. Marsupials are mammals. So are monotremes. Neither are placental mammals though.

Jeremy Clarkson an expert in all things. Smartest man in the room. Legend in his own mind. Of course, people should listen to him when he says outer space in 600 miles from the surface. Great guest. 🤦‍♀️🙄 It is actually 60 miles.

It's 100km (aka 62 miles), although the Americans claim it's only 50 miles (aka 80km). That's the Karmen line, which is basically "how high up does an airplane stop being an airplane and become a spaceship?" It's an arbitrary line, and Clarkson's 600 miles is probably better as it takes you above Low Earth Orbit where there's still plenty of air causing drag on satellites. Geostationary, aka Clarke orbit at 36,000km (22,500 miles) might well be a better start for "outer space"

The President of the Continental Congress was not analogous to the President of the United States. There was no Executive Branch and the President of the Congress merely acted as a moderator in disputes and had no vote. The President of the United States had greater powers proscribed to them, via the Constitution. Prior to the ratification of the Constitution, the power resided solely in the colonial/state legislations and governors, as both the Continental Congress and the Congress of the Confederation had no real power to enact laws that governed the states/colonies. It was this lack of power and the fundamental problems that came with it that caused the Confederation to fail and the call for the Constitutional Convention to create a new system of national government. That Constitution created an Executive Branch of Government, which was headed by the President of the United States. Such office didn't exist before the Constitution was ratified; and, therefor, George Washington was the first to be elected and to govern as President of the United States. The speakers in the colonial assemblies had more power than the President of the Continental Congress.
