"Has she not glands?" 😆

[@chrisofnottingham]

FYI a "99" is an ice cream in a cone with a flake. A British institution.

[@markcutting6504]

They did a taste test which included ice cream with flake in it but no cornet & like 99% of us they loved it😜

[@majorcatastrophe2829]

What's a flake?

[@Chackravartin]

@@majorcatastrophe2829 its a chocolate bar made from the left over chocolate when they make normal bars, its like all flakey, goes everywhere when you eat it

1:08 she has a great sense of timing

[@NimpanZ]

15:09 "Go and fetch my lolly." This is my favourite joke of the entire series. It's such a Bernard thing to do, a borderline alcoholic making an ice lolly with a wine bottle and a stick. Genius comedy.

Little Princess Boomer's 'Dada' sounded so cute!

[@dun0790]

I was expecting her first word to be Muppet 😅 also I wonder why everyone baby I've known says dada first?

[@BobGnarley.]

gotta watch out for those asbestos bats :-D

[@ThornyLittleFlower]

😂😂😂

[@ThornyLittleFlower]

I wonder what happens to all that bat poop now that we're not lining our buildings with it 🤔 😂😂

[@munky342]

It's important to note that in england, the air is very humid, so temperatures feel much hotter than they are. And all of our buildings are made to keep as much heat in as possible. It's only summer for an average of 2 weeks a year so for the rest of the time we need our houses well insulated.

[@NoNowwwell]

You realise these two are in Florida right? Lol. That place is more humid AND more hot than Britain. You're not wrong, humidity makes it worse, but these guys know that lol

[@munky342]

@NoNowwwell of course, but the main point was about insulation. Our buildings are made to keep heat in. In Florida (I'm a dual citizen and live in Texas most of the year now), the buildings are made to keep the heat out. That makes a huge difference.

[@simonspoke]

@@NoNowwwell They have air conditioning in the US as standard to combat that... Majority of UK households don't, and that coupled with the insulation makes it unbearable!

[@DrCookie6996p]

As someone that's lived in the UK and Malaysia.. infrastructure/aircon makes all the difference. Malaysia is jungle country making it so humid sweating does f-all meaning only foreigners sweat. The locals have adapted not to bother/waste the water.. And at an average of 30°c (86°F) and 45°c (113°F) in the hight of summer you'd think British summers wouldn't touch me.... but they do.. I'd much rather deal with Kuala lumpa at 45°c then Oxford at 30°c🫠 ✌️

[@munky342]

@@DrCookie6996p I spent 6 months in Belize. And same, I'd rather be in Belize at 40 than anywhere in England at 30. Except my favourite beaches there, I can jump in the ocean to cool down then 😄

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

Your daughter already knows how to speak on cue! Impressive! :) This is one of my favourite episodes.

[@Schiltzenberger]

Asbestos particles are small enough to reach your lungs, but they don't break down, so it slowly rips at your lungs causing scar tissue that hardens and makes your lungs stiff.

[@TheBuddhaFinger]

Yeah its not nice, my dad's been diagnosed with it recently, probably from all the building work he did in the 70's and 80's. His mate has had symptoms for the last 12 years so can be a long affair

[@ghostparty2062]

Thays Only the bad asbestos though

[@CaSh-H]

@@Schiltzenberger blue, white and brown asbestos. Illegal for use in UK sin the Control of Asbestos regulatory acts around 1998. I believe countries still export it; Canada even? May be wrong lol

[@tileux]

@@CaSh-Hi doubt anyone exports it anymore. There were massive legal cases in the 80s and 90s that resulted in the mining companies involved setting up huge funds to pay compensation to decades of victims and future victims. Here in australia the town of wiitenoom, where the stuff was all mined, was declared a no go zone and all its inhabitants were evicted, although a couple of loonies still live in the ghost city, which sits in the middle of giant asbestos slag heaps.

[@wiggy5209]

Scar tissue is always regenerating ..so if you have the likes of scurvy. ....literally all of your scars will open up ...

[@arizonabay15]

We had 104 fahrenheit (40 degrees) not long ago so that's how much the climate has changed since 2002 in the UK.

Those of us at a certain age grew up with 99s they were a vanilla ice cream cone with a Cadbury flake stuck in the middle heaven!

[@markcutting6504]

When I was a kid in Manchester the ice cream man was like Willy wonka.didn't have 99's but he'd put a broken cornet on top of the ice cream cone to make like a hat & Smarties for eyes😄also hundreds & thousands(sprinkles in america)also a small plastic cone with ice cream & a pointless 1 chew bubble gum at the bottom(can't remember the name)& cider lollys!to 5 year olds.me & my sister used to try & pay with monopoly money😂good old 70's.1 treat a day was heavenly

[@Welshbbc]

Still waiting for you guys to react to the quirkiness of Taskmaster 😜

[@Bethgael]

Princess Boomer is saying dada, Mr King, because while mama has the goods, Queen Boomer would say dada more than mama, so it's the word bubs often hear the most. [Mum of 6 now adults here]. You guys are adorable, and don't worry, this growth spurt will settle in a bit for a short time. ;) [Love your vids!] And yes, asbestos is bad. The disease it gives you is way, way worse than cancer.

A 99 is a vanilla ice cream cone with a flake in it. I'm presuming at one point they cost 99p.

[@EarthlyEden1]

“In the days of the monarchy in Italy the King has a specifically chosen guard consisting of 99 men, and subsequently anything really special or first class was known as '99' - and that is how '99' Flake came by its name,” Cadbury states.

[@shikarifox4337]

I miss the days they did cost 99p

[@christopherbowers7236]

They were cheaper for a while and then 99p for a long time. Nowadays probably a couple quid

[@chucky7826]

Why would you presume the name has anything to do with the price ? 99p for an ice cream in around 1930 when it started would have been extortionate,so why would the name stick decades later at a certain pricing

[@amberkelly3187]

We have just had family and their friends arrive from the US yesterday telling us they are happy to be out of the heat and in Scotland. Within a couple of hours they were wearing double layers and asking for the heat on in their rooms. It’s our summer. Last summer I spent half an hour in the garden and was shaking, sweating, couldn’t breathe and had to wash in cool water and lie in front of a fan in a cold dark room. People like me would die in Florida. No joke. People die here every hot summer because they get sun stroke

[@paulwalton1222]

Good timing from the little princess with the dada. My mate's baby took her first ever steps to walk towards me, it was nice.

Johnny Vegas did a series where he lived in a flat dealing small amount of drugs to survive. Pretty sure that was a kind of dark comedy.

[@mathildejensen3285]

[@ArthurFarts]

That was definitely a "Da Da".

[@DaveB324]

Breathing asbestos causes damage to the lungs which years later causes severe breathing problems (asbestosis) and usually is fatal

[@carlhartwell7978]

That QB story about her crazy roommate, lol. I'm thinking about The Twits by Roald Dahl now!🤣🤣🤣

[@CampervanCookout]

No aircon here, so if it’s 92 outside it’s probably 92 inside too but it’s only about a week a year lol

[@CaSh-H]

Lmfao dar dar right on cue 😂 too cute

[@carlhartwell7978]

4:42 In unison Brits 'Yes, fine, but we very generally don't have AC in our homes'. It would be ridiculous for the few days of intense heat per year, but they still do happen. So there is that. My guess is that it's not 92 degrees right now for you siting there, you guys seem quite 'chilled'. It would be (whatever the temp outside) in a non AC'd home. Indeed in the UK likely more, given the heat being trapped inside of houses predominantly built for that purpose in a mostly cold climate, like pretty much all UK homes. Insulation becomes not only useless but a hinderance for a short time.

[@mrjackpots1326]

You can tell a person's age by whether they know about asbestos. I miss the stuff. It was used in brake linings which lasted twice as long as the ones made since it was banned. Probably killed a few mechanics if they breathed the dust while replacing the linings, but life is all about tradeoffs.

[@bnsyphotography2104]

There was asbestos at my old, old primary school (because I changed schools). They knocked the school down a couple years after I left, as they found asbestos in the ceiling or something. They were at the time building the new version of the school next to us anyway. This was back in 2010, 2011 area. I’m 24 now so, long time ago.

Da da da, or ma ma ma, are just natural sounds a baby makes. The terms dada and mama (later father/mother) come from the sounds a baby makes, not the other way round.

[@mentalmickey1459]

Princess B is not a fan of accordians

[@rocketmunkey1]

There are two types of Asbestos Blue and Grey, its the Blue type which is potentially dangerous, and was used in a powder form for insulation and cladding pipes, the grey type comes in sheets and isn't dangerous at all, they still use it in building today for things like soffit boards. I worked on the building for 20 years and my Dad did since the 1950's He had mates who did nothing but clad pipes in Blue asbestos and not a single one of them developed the condition, the dangers have been severely overhyped. theres a lot of money in its disposal.

[@wayne7521]

The amount of videos, of young people,drilling through fibre glass body work, with no protection or much ventillation. With comments that joke about how dangerous it is. Is like (pun intended) why waste tha breath.

[@rocketmunkey1]

@@wayne7521 Yes fibre glass is far worse for your lungs than grey Asbestos, and yet they don't make a big fuss about that, probably because they make their beloved wind turbines out of the stuff. Just wait until they find an alternative, then they'll be saying how dangerous it is and charging us all a fortune, for clearing up their own mess.

[@retrowatches1655]

I was going to ask why you got your tops on in that heat but you got air con . In the UK we sit on the sofa sweating with t shirts off . 😅
