Bad bad boon

I don't know, there are some fairly good looking cops out there. I had to give a statement to one, and she was stunning, I certainly wouldn't have minded seeing her naked, lol.

Plus it would add a third eye to the mix, probably cause a further 1/3rd reduction

​@@WrathOfGrapesN7 Bet she was a fair cop

It's bad enough they're staring at you with their beady eyes. I don't want them waving their truncheons at me as well. 😂

It would be funny to hear her sing NWA song

Although it kind of defeats the purpose of taking a selfie with the cut out.

Stephen Fry would have said something funny, instead we have Sandi

Pretty sure she's going to regret that 1 day

@@philrigby2362 And you could've commented anything, instead we got this. Que sera, sera.

I wonder if he was a trained debate team member.

I agree I think he is brilliant I love listening to him. He is very intelligent and I don't find him boring at all

True, but he can also be obnoxious and overbearing. He's also a tory... Which... Ew.

Nah... he's an atrocious bore. Has to turn everything into an anecdote about him, at length. 🥱😴

So? That doesn't change the fact that doing it uninvited is often rude, and that it is often boring.

Someone needs to 50/50 that stage and figure it out real quick! Sergeant!

Hahaha Would make a place a great hangout dorm in a college for sure. Some great photo opportunities for friends

He can make me laugh when he starts sentences with, “Many years ago…”

I still laugh whenever I hear him start his "I once ate a pie that contained a human" story, that bombshell made Alan do a spit take IIRC

Yeah, he was quite chubby before the compulsory bias and sensitivity training. Shame.

The bit that really amuses me here is the Tesco it went missing from, is litterally next door to the police station. I suspect some professional jealousy may have been involved in this disappearance.

Does Grimsby look the way it sounds? Elton wrote a song about it in the 70s. It was on the album Caribou

@@zapkvr if it sounds like a bottomless pit of despair and hopelessness, then it's fairly accurate. Grimsby was hit badly by the decline of the fishing industry in the 80's and while some recovery has taken place, it's still a shadow of its former self. Fairly high crime rates, drug problems (the worst in the country at times), homelessness, all are issues in the town itself. The surrounding area however is actually fairly decent and some places quite affluent. The high street (top town) is however in major decline as shops are closing, and there are more and more issues with drugs and the local council making weird decisions (stupid bus station, artwork bridge that looks like the back of a skip truck, among other things).

Wait when?

@@bradleyneufeld6127 Yeah Giles is ten times funnier than Alan

Alan always tries to talk over funnier people.

@@moobslikejagger5653 yeah I think so too. I just didn't get the impression he was tryna steal the show was all, but I have felt that way before

I was really bummed when Stephen quit and never really liked Sandi as a guest but gotta admit that even though there's no replacing Stephen Fry, she is a good alternative. In the beginning i was afraid she was just gonna be the angry feminist she was as a guest but she's a natural at hosting the show

After seeing Greg Davies go Angry Teacher Mode in Taskmaster a few times, I have to wonder if he could be fun as a guest host - but I do think the show works best with the light atmosphere that Sandi creates. Heaven bless Sandi, I just love her.

Really, you're a Susie Dent fan but are refusing to admit it.

@@millomweb I wish I were. Haven't watched Countdown actually so I don't know her as much as fans in the UK do. But it's Gyles and his endless anecdotes for me😅

It is indeed a fabulous podcast. For anyone interested, it’s called “Something Rhymes With Purple”.

@@lestmak” Somethin’ “

@@akumalutin actually, if you check, the title is “Something…”. The production company is the one that has the missing ‘g’. 😉

Police Constable, a cop.

Police Constable I think.

Paper cutout

i'm british and i thought pc was personal computer too, Nobody uses that term anymore it has been surpassed by "useless w*ankers"

Speak for yourself. Some of us non-Brits know what constables are. Are you sure there are none in your country?

🤣🤣🤣

What is the point of this? If you were to make the road safer by discouraging speeding, wouldn't you just have the actual police from the beginning? In your scenario, wouldn't there be a period of time when people have gotten used to it and started speeding again but before the real police return thus making the road dangerous? And after that they fine people for the behavior which was brought about by the condition that they themselves set up in the first place by having dummy police.

@@rekagotik2785 Well, I think the events unfolded like so: No cop car - Everybody's speeding Empty cop car - Nobody's speeding Empty cop car few days later - Everybody's *back* to speeding Full cop car - Everybody's speeding but getting caught I assume the grand plan would be to just randomly man the cop car every once in a while so drivers wouldn't be able to tell whether it's manned or not and would just not speed to be sure. Of course, at some point, you'd think just setting up a radar speed trap might get more economical. In short: No, they didn't create that behavior in the first place because everybody was speeding already before they started doing anything at all. And they might not have the manpower to have somebody actually sit there all the time.

@@rekagotik2785 basically it is just policing for profit

Simple solution, don't want to get caught - feeling grumpy at men and women in blue? Don't break the law.. It has so far been the most effective way of not getting fined or imprisoned. Its a proper life hack that. Amazing stuff, share it with your friends!

@@beavisbutt-headson3223 I guess you're right, the speeding behavior is already there. It is just trying to create the feeling of a panopticon since people wouldn't know when they're being watched. Although I might also suggest the use of cameras so you can _actually watch_ the streets. Plus it can also be used for traffic reports. Though I guess that would be more of a whole neighborhood thing rather than a small college.

I hope you've seen her on taskmaster? She was brilliant there

@@CucumberpatchAddict Indeed. Her "giving birth to Alex Horne" was a well deserved standing ovation

She doesn’t seem to age either.

@@hannahalice1000 that was ART xD I also loved the absinthe task, they were both so adorable

Yummers

They're waiting for it to break the 2 minute mark!

I remember when they were put up, I didn't think it would have the effect that it did.

Did you try turning it off and on again?

Yes, nobody else uses a PC...

@@khymaaren Who pissed in your coffee this morning? 😆

I like your thinking. Must be very disconcerting

Depends. If it’s your girlfriend telling you this it can be very depressing.

No it doesn't. A real policeman doesn't stand in one place 24/7. If they would, then you could compare.

Nice

What did you do with it?

Gotta love the classic benchmark jokes :)

Have you heard his podcast with Susie Dent?

@@BigyetiTechnologies What’s it called?

@@grahamstrouse1165 Something Rhymes With Purple

@@BigyetiTechnologies Thanks!

Hmm, the radios they're fitted with could actually be real ;)

@@millomweb yes, and the bodycam... Even the cardboard watches you in UK.

Looks like it's outside a liquor store.

You see them quite often at petrol stations.

It makes me so sad when he's mocked on the show for talking so much because the man has some crazy stories and i'd love to hear more about them!

*the single only living ASMR in existence* ... no he's not since a ton of people claim that about a ton of different other people.

@@connorchalmers8959 Exactly. I can see how some people can perceive it as boasting, there is also simply the fact, the man has lived a life full of experiences, not just passive experience for him being there, but also active, he's done a lot, he's really been around, and you have to appreciate that too when he talks and his anecdotes are so plenty because his life has been plentiful. And some people either don't grasp that or are envious and the latter often resort to mocking and belittling of people who just happen to have made more of their lives than they have, and those narrow minded people can't stand that, so they resort to belittling those who have achieved more...

*no one bats an eye

John Gielgud and Peter Ustinov were the same for me. For Peter Ustinov, I'd turn on WWII documentaries on the Discovery Channel narrated by him and just listen to them because I found his voice soothing. But at some point the Discovery Channel started airing those same shows redubbed with some American. Boo hiss.

Yeah And you guys keep electing people who will not change it. Blame yourselves

@@seanfaherty I elected Claire Hanna so I don't know who you think I chose, but she isn't exactly favourable to this increasing authoritarianism. I don't get to vote in the police, dingus. If your addition is "it's really down to you that someone decided to do this," then sorry to tell you, but that take is pure shit.

yes

@@blade_20 Yes, they need subtitles... or yes, I'm the only person who thinks that?

@@jonesy2112 i think you're the only one that thinks that. Is it the taking over one another? I think most fans of QI and similar panel shows are probably used to motley crews like this jabbering over one another. I think Taskmaster is worse LOL

Who cares what you "think", you're just another random nutcase in the KZfaq comments section!

If you ever drive through the Florida Keys there are many islands with police cars sitting at the start and end of the island sitting empty. I don't know how effective they are but I always thought they should swap out and put an occupied car there every once in a while to catch speeders who have become accustomed to seeing them there.

I guess you're from the US since speed cameras are used in the UK. Thus no police officers and no salary which would need to be paid. Just a box on the side of the road, a quick flash, and you get a letter in the mail a few weeks later. In Germany we use a similar system and a lot of the speed cameras aren't even active, serving precisely the purpose of these cut out police men.

@@tlgibson97 Some years ago just outside Trenton, New Jersey, you'd see a parked black-and-white with a dummy inside (in uniform, of course.) Not sure how effective it was at deterring speeding - the program was stopped abruptly when the dummies started getting stolen. :-P

@@lookieeight1006 You guessed wrong, I emigrated, but I'm from the UK. If they have cameras everywhere why do they still put out the speed vans/mobile speed camera?

No, they're more effective than no policeman. But eventually crime gets a tiny bit worse than it was originally: the theft of the cutouts, as Sandi pointed out.

Only foreign morons!

@@sierraromeoromeo2444 Easy tiger, on the internet, everyone is foreign.

It was really nice of them to include a game with their CPU benchmark

Plenty that we understand, and nothing that you understand.

@@sierraromeoromeo2444 So my question was aiming at an actual answer rather than a meaningless condescending reply.

@@paddotk Police Constable.

@@clickrick Ah ok, must be British. Usually it stands for personal computer. Or politically correct, nowadays :p

@@paddotk its QI, a British show, shown on the British Broadcasting Corporation, aka BBC - Unfortunately they will be using the abbreviations aligned with the UK. Watching the clip should actually clarify the acronym. :)

Maybe you should write in arrange an interview?

@@BumMcFluff He'll need to learn how to spell words like sniping before he goes wasting stamps.

you mean continuing a long standing symbiotic relatioonship between QI hosts and Alan Davies? They always abnter, its part of their friendship, it was the same way with Fry.
