Is not "fannies" spelt thus like "pussies" since that is what they are. I know pussy has power but does it show possession with an apostrophe? He was talking about them in the plural. I mean this English thing, as a Yank, is pretty easy right. The only sex advice mother gave me, "Pussy has more pull than an eighteen wheeler."

The Procrastinators' Creed: Never put off until tomorrow what you can forget about completely.

[@shamaliwije4872]

When tea was first introduced to Europe, people didn’t have bone china, so the cups were very fragile. But then bone china was introduced, which allowed porcelain products to be made very thin but considerably stronger. However, these were also very expensive, so only the most affluent could acquire them. Those who had bone china, added water first, while the others added milk. This was in a way a sign of wealth or higher class at the time, differing across class lines. Even now, King Charles has apparently said that the Royal family are firm believers in water first, which is maybe a confirmation of that 😄

[@blackletter2591]

Tea first might be better than water first.

[@titan3603]

Milk in first comes from when fine bone China was used. The delicate porcelain was sensitive to heating so to prevent cups from cracking or exploding milk was added first to control the temperature.

[@andrewcaulfield4167]

Ahhh! So that heresy has a good reason! All is forgiven, then. ;-)

[@trudimclaren4301]

I don't take milk, but I always put a little cold water in first, so as not to scald the tea (it tastes bitter to me, if I don't)

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

I agree with you, but, I wonder...the Chinese have been drinking tea for many centuries, and I have been told they do not add milk at all, so, were they sending the really fragile cups to England while keeping the sturdy porcelain for themselves, or did they not serve tea at as high a temperature, or what? Enquiring minds want to know, especially as I am hosting the pretender to the Dragon Throne next Thursday😉

[@trudimclaren4301]

​@jeraldbaxter3532 I can't say this is true, but my guess is that we added milk in the west to take away the bitterness from black tea - I don't believe Chinese people drank black tea, and the fermenting process to make it was to stop it going off on the long overland journey back to Britain (and then you had flavours added like Earl and Lady Grey to 'lift' the flavour, I guess). Again, this is just my assumption, but it seems to make sense 🤷‍♀️🫤

[@DemstarAus]

​@@trudimclaren4301 green tea is traditionally not served boiling hot, ideal brewing temperature is 80°C, and I doubt they used kettles. If it is heated too much green tea becomes bitter. It will naturally have some bitterness but when brewed well it's sort of sweet.

The cut is horrible! Only a tick tocker would appreciate it and yes that is derogatory! It makes no sense without the complete engagement, it isn't even funny. Humour does not consist of punchlines, you have to have a set up and a finale especially in this show to understand what they were talking about. They were working together? Claudia was mad him for mocking her. What goals were they working together for because it is unknown. They are not there as a team to figure things out it is a quiz show. They are competitors!

[@ozzyols75]

I remember being told for the MIF vs TIF argument that it came about because of class distinctions. In days of yore, if you were lower middle class or below, it was more likely that you would have lower quality china something like an earthenware which might crack under thermal shock if the tea was placed into the cup first, so the milk was always put in first to offset the heat. Where as, someone who had access to the likes of bone china or porcelain cups could withstand the thermal shock better, so the tea was put in first.

The only species found in the United States is the collared peccary, or javelina. In Texas, the javelina is found in the more arid or semi-arid parts of the state, with most occurring in the South Texas brush country, the Trans-Pecos' desert grasslands, and the Edwards Plateau's oak-juniper woodlands.

[@Ludifant]

@29:20 "primate of Italy" caught me by surprise. Shouldn´t that be a bit insulting? I do believe the pope IS a primate, but it seems a bit odd to be boisterous about it. I mean, we could add to that, surely: Mammal of the vatican, Eukaryot of Europe, chordatum of Rome, Hominid of the mediteranean.

[@JacksonBockus]

“Primate” originally meant the person of the highest rank, coming from the Latin word for first. Many early taxonomists saw life on earth as a hierarchy with humans at the top and other “lesser” creatures below them. Therefore the category that included humans and other apes were the “primates”.

[@Sid-jx4gl]

ROFL

[@Ludifant]

@@JacksonBockus right.. should have realised that :) I had Latin in school, but I like it when my brain misfires like that.

[@ptroinks]

"Primate of italy" is the most general description they could ever have come up with for the pope! I know the use of the word "primate" wasn't in the taxonomical sense, but it's still funny :D. Eukaryote of Europe shoud have been one of his titles!!

I tend to drink a two-cup metal pot of tea, in a 'china' cup, once a week at the hospital cafe, (during my appointment visits, _either before or after_ attending clinic blood tests - to sscertain INR/Warfarin* levels - blood thinner* to help prevent strokes) Cheers?! 👍🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💕🇬🇧🙂🖖

[@kevnerx]

That's almost like saying, when arguing if the chicken came before the egg, we answer "irrelevant, I'm happy with a Tuna sandwich." Seriously though, if I'm using a pot, the milk is in the mug while waiting. If I'm brewing in the mug the milk goes in last. I don't use bone China (or anything that isn't the biggest mug I can find) so protecting the ceramic means nothing to me

[@tdgrogan]

The milk first question is unfair, because the right way to make tea is one separate pot and then pour it in the cup.... The tea is steeped in the pot, so it doesn't matter wether you put the milk or tea in the cup first.... Except for the fact that if you do milk first and add too much milk, you can't remove the excess milk once you the tea. Therefore if you put it in second, you can gauge how much to use more easily!

@@lilymarinovic1644 Yes, but that means QI is wrong, which is ironic for a show that is the equivalent of the um, actually meme.

[@lilymarinovic1644]

QI often sacrifices accuracy for the sake of sounding interesting. Which is not entirely unfair, its purpose is to entertain the masses not educate them on comparative religion. So the idea of "the head of the (Roman) Catholic Church doesnt have the official title of Pope, and the man with the official title of Pope isn't actually (Roman) Catholic" is near enough to accuracy for a mostly non-religious audience.
