... its house. (Only stupid use the contraction of "it is" instead of the possessive pronoun!)

Kate Winslet in The Dressmaker does the only other good Australian accent I have ever heard, all the other ones sound like some mutant AU/NZ/RSA hybrid.

Too right. He actually sounds a lot like John Wood ( tv shows like Blue Healers, Rafferty Rules etc)

Hugh can do one too

Shortly after 6:22 for reference

In one episode he mentions that he lived here for a while (and lived with Colin lane if I remember correctly)

There's a gameshow called "Um, actually" that tries to accomplish a similar thing.

yeah - it's a way those cnuts finally found a way to be socially acceptable. (sry - " _WE_ cnuts..")

@@whitenoise509 oh no um actually fully goes into that concept

I just read that "Well, Actually" in Stephen fry 's voice 🤣

If you want more of this kind of stuff, try out "No Such Thing as a Fish", a podcast by the QI writers.

Alright, Alan, we all know it's you, hiding behind a fake name

He is playing a role not sure why you wouldn't know that

Rage-quit? He has a regular job - why would he quit?

What is it with young people and stupid language I really don't understand that it's really getting annoying ok you want to change everything so it suits your generation but you're just making up stupid now rage quit what internet site did you get that from

In the first “Making of…” show (search for “ QI s09 e00 Making QI” on here), you can hear Alan explain how his feelings about it changed over the first five seasons.

still more dignified than danish. we literally call them "lump fish" (klumpfisk)

@@marycanary86 in england we call it a stumpfishclout

@Jay Hackett That could be a good explanation. I genuinely tried to find something about it, but the only thing I got was, that it got it's name because it shimmers like moon.

In Dutch it's also called moonfish (maanvis). I always assumed the name came from the fact it sort of looks like a crescent moon.

@@michaellejeune7715 think you might find we call them Karbonkel here, actually :P

its a helluva mood, too

@@marycanary86 ugh that word needs to go… mood is just so, plain… Expecting everyone else to fill in your blank…

@@Chimera_Photography What does it mean in this context? In America we only use it for its actual meaning.

@@Chimera_Photography as insufferable as I find people who complain about the words and phrases that others use, I can't help but agree with you on this one. Right up there with "same".

Same.

I've heard of sunfish. Because they talked about them on QI....

Learned of them when I was a kid

You are not alone, Unc. Sunfish helped me to recognize/identify my ichthyophobia when, at age 10, I spotted a photo of one in my World Book encyclopedia. The entry on fish had several pages of illustrations and photos which disturbed and fascinated me until I finally understood why I hated going to the fishmonger's shop with my grandmother. 😀|🐟|--😨.

I had heard of them when I was a kid, but then they added them to the Animal Crossing games and all of my friends knew about them after that.

the famous british education skips over sunfish i guess

I lived in the town where that newspaper is based and remember the story.

@@BradGryphonn We are still eating pork.!

Quite correct, it's just the same as being 500m underground.

Yep the man is right, no difference unless it's presurised.

Yes. The structure is massive and strong enough that it doesn't need to be pressurized. Kind of like a cofferdam.

Sandi: Oh how the tables have turned.

I think that’s gonna be the last episode. Alan is host Sandy and Stephen are guests.

I want Stephen & Sandi to appear on opposing teams in an episode of WILTY

@@JackDManheim both giving QI stories

@@Deadralord777 right? And if both stories involved Alan, we’ll that’d be the cherry on top

Thanks for that. I learned something quite interesting.

And now we know why young people are so ignorant. It's their teachers.

This could have been the episode wherein he'd come straight from the airport after a delayed flight suffering from very bad jetlag. Evidently he simply had to record the episode nonetheless!

I’ve always assumed Stephen was always drunk. I don’t remember seeing him ever looking sober.

Yes, a small sherry!

Yeah, I was gonna say. He seems pretty sloppy in that clip.

Yep! Seen one. They're brought in by the gulf stream.

What! Where in Cornwall?

@@rexfoxoloughlin6033 The Isles of Scilly is a good place to see them from my experience

@@rexfoxoloughlin6033 I've seen them from towan headland in Newquay.. only rarely when theres a heatwave in mid summer though it seems. First time I'd ever heard of a sunfish was when baffled trying to work out what they were and asking some fishermen. Quite interesting things!

What about a true guess

@@seanclements6206 Never heard of not... never knew about... if you say the words you've already heard of it once... so... the answer invalidates itself even if your correct answer is just a serious of random sounds to you...

This literally said in the video....

@@squeakybunny2776 ... Yeah... I was just pointing out the wording issue. Read the above comment to know my further description on the topic as you are not the first to debate the topic but you are the first to seem to simply miss the topic.

@@jocomfiresin6982 I'm not debating the topic. I'm debating your notion:"now that I think about it". What do you mean now that you think about it. As if it was an afterthought after the video ended that just came to you. Your "debate" was already raised and closed in the video itself....

Imagine if a small jack in the box in front of each contestant just popped up and sprayed you in the face with water 😆

@@jamespfitz - That's hardly the point. Maybe you didn't spot the poor editing, but it was amateurish to say the least.

@@jamespfitzI didn't realise that was an option. Can I do that? If so, what process must I go through, or whom must I contact? This is great news. There are so many channels that are going to be hearing from me. Thanks mate!👍

I’ve had my refund.

Why do you know That the poor thing is bullet proof? 😳😳

I saw one while diving off north-west Scotland. They come across the Atlantic on the Gulf Stream...

I saw one in the ‘90’s in the Gulf of Maine when I was a kid. That was the only time. 😎

Recently on the Radio 4 programme Nature Table they were talking about sunfish and said it's not unusual to find them in the sea off Cornwall.

The reason it's usually impossible is that people are trying it using swings suspended by chains rather than swings suspended on rigid poles. A typical chain swing has to remain under tension all the time, while the poles depicted here don't collapse under compression like a chain does. With a chain swing you'd have to go from a slow swing back and forth into a really fast swing that has centrifugal force stronger than gravity all the way around, in *one repetition*. If it takes more than one swing to work your way up to that speed, your chain collapses on the intermediate swings prior to that speed and you fall in. When you have stiff poles, on the other hand, then you don't collapse the swing on those intermediate repetitions so you have time to work your way up to the speed where you go all the way around.

@@dunbar9finger ahh, yes, the soviet style swings definitely had poles not chains!

@@wilkatis Do you guys in Latvia also do 360 with the large wooden swings for multiple people? In Estonia, you can see people doing such things, usually around mid-summer eve.

@@tarksurmani6335 While I haven't done it myself, I have seen people doing it! Most of the wooden-pole swings I've seen do have height limiters however, limiting how high you can actually swing. As far as traditions go swinging is a big thing during the Easter, but it's definitely a summer time thing aswell. Actually, on a not-so-fun note, a guy I knew died as a wooden swing collapsed on him while doing those loops. So maybe it's not the best idea to do so

Not Phill, it's Danny Baker.

Me too. They have a stuffed one in the Museum of Natural History in Gothenburg. Appeared in Swedish waters, probably swept here by the Gulf Stream (klumpfisk).
