My favorite things about Lee’s turns is when he knows it’s obviously bullshit and he just thinks “sod it. I may as well have fun with this one” 😂😂

@tyrannosaurusflex3698 6 ай бұрын

That's the whole point though, Lee has his own segment where the producers give him an absurd claim purely so he can tell jokes and make people laugh. They just give him his own stand up, improv routine every week and he always smashes it.

@@bouledeberlin8741I disagree. I don't know the song, nor how popular it is in the UK. But if Higuain made a song pertinent to the subject, and someone mentions it, the first thing I would think of is making a joke about his failed shot in the WC final. If you're a football fan, you just never forget those kind of things.

The Paul Gascoigne penalty joke is top tier comedy.

@diptishalder4635 6 ай бұрын

except, if Lee Mack is talking about important tournament matches, Gascoigne didn't miss a penalty for England in the 1990 World Cup as he chose not to take one, nor in the 1996 Euros when he scored in both shoot-outs. Not sure about his club career but that wouldn't be relevant. If he had referred to him having a chance to score a winner v Germany in '96 but he missed it would have made more sense.

Per UK met office - "Fog and mist differ by how far you can see through them. Fog is when you can see less than 1,000 metres away, and if you can see further than 1,000 metres, we call it mist."

@SimonDover 6 ай бұрын

I respectfully disagree. On land mist goes up, fog comes down. Over water, fog banks can be heavy mist and your 1000m is acceptable. As it's generally accepted usage. The Met Office (as you have possibly paraphrased) is WRONG. End of.

@@SimonDover I haven't paraphrased. That's why it is in quotes. It is also the international definition as derived by specialist in the field.

@@chriswatson7965 Everyone says that. Probably because shipping forecasts are about visibility and getting your point across in common usage. I learnt my usage from geography textbooks 30 years ago. And am entirely happy. Just annoyed when things get dumbed down and changed. It's a common theme as you get older. Incidently. Lee has my usage, and other comments have the theme. Particularly regarding droplet size. ie evaporation or condensation. So it seems 'moving with the times', just confuses everybody. Which is annoying. Do it right once, and leave it alone. Uranus IS a planet. The Earth has one moon. Greenland is the largest island, and Australia is the smallest continent. Now watch the arguments, and you'll get why I'm annoyed. As the writer's picked up on.

@@SimonDover If I use my 30 yo OED fog has the following definition "A thick cloud of minute water-droplets suspended in the atmosphere at or near the earth's surface. Mist is "A diffuse cloud of minute water droplets suspended in the atmosphere on or near the ground". Thus by common usage the only difference is that fog is denser. The meteorological definition is older than 30 years thought the distance has moved from imperial to metric at some stage. Are those "geography textbooks" school level? If so I would suggest the problem lies with the author of those textbooks. Also what would call a cloud that neither goes up nor comes down, or one that does both? Or one that rolls in? This is also the first time I've heard anyone accusing physicists of dumbing things down.

According to the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary there is a visible difference between fog and mist. Mist is purely very fine water droplets that obscure the view but to a lesser degree than fog. Fog is not only visibly denser, and more obscuring, it can also be associated with dust particles or smoke. I had no idea that the two words, while very similar, co-exist because they describe variations of opacity. I would never have thought of smoke or fog either, but I guess that is what smog is - water droplets associated with smokey pollutants and hydrocarbons.

Fog is an atmospheric condition arising from a transition into condensing conditions for water, e.g., from a drop in temperature, whereas mist is the result of atomization of any liquid by a multitude of means, e.g., strong movement of air fetching liquid from a surface or ejecting pressurized liquid from a nozzle into an airstream. I just made all that up, but I'm sticking to it.

@PaddyRoon7 6 ай бұрын

I actually believed him on the difference being about the temperature rising or falling 😂. In reality it's just density, there's no way to tell the difference between a light fog and a heavy mist. Either word would apply.
