Have I Got a Bit More News for You S61 E4. Alexander Armstrong, Kirsty Wark, Joe Lycett. 30 Apr 21.

[@zigisamblak]

The most amazing thing is the Belgian parking dude has no scratches on his car. A literal parking god.

[@eiaboca1]

I often enjoy Joe Lycett but here he was just banging on about women's looks and it was incredibly grating

[@isabellaangeline2175]

That was a joke. I have Asperger’s which makes it hard for me to understand sarcasm, yet even I could tell he was joking. Life is better when you don’t go around taking everything literally. But I do wonder how bad you look if you are so quick to jump to conclusions and get upset.

[@MultiMolly21]

The people who need driverless cars are paraplegics who are sick of never going anywhere alone. Their cars should be marked for recognition and have special lanes. The rest of the showoffs can just drive.

[@similarsherbert]

Yes!!!!!

[@SorendeSelbyBowen]

Thank you! When Armstrong said blithely that the only people who wanted a driverless car were drunks, I immediately shouted "disabled!" with disbelief. But then, I'm crippled, so maybe it's in front of my mind.

[@BarginsGalore]

It’s not true for everyone but if your only paralyzed from the waist down you can still drive. You can get your car modified to have hand controls. The people that need driverless cars is everyone because humans are dogshit at driving

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@BarginsGaloreOr people who are neurologically or psychiatrically unable to drive. Maybe people who have been drugged for a procedure. Expand your thinking! I sometimes need to hire medical transportation to get home from a procedure requiring anesthesia. I cannot use a taxi for that trip, only credentialled medical transport. Sometimes I have to wait more than 2 hours for my 10 minute ride home. If I don't have that transport arranged, the physician will not perform the procedure that I had to wait 4 months to get. There's a niche if they can make driverless cars reliable.

[@donrobertson4940]

I wish the show offs could drive. At least half as well as they think they can drive.

[@granthurlburt4062]

Never heard Paul being (a) so complimentary towards Ian and P.E. and (b) so serious about this abuse of the postal workers. Understandably.

[@sempressfi]

Yeah already had a bit of a soft spot for Paul but this really solidified my respect for him. People who are normally a bit stoic and sarcastic or just aren't as outwardly expressive but are able to let that go for moments and people that deserve a bit of... reverence, for lack of a better weird - yeah these are my fave types of people lol I suppose it's partially because I'm a sarcastic introvert myself but I think even if I weren't, they'd be who I gravitate towards

[@emperornortoni2871]

I don't actually pay for a periodical, but PI in the US? Hey, that'd be worth the price.

14:13 - we need technically literate people in positions of authority or at least people who are willing to defer to someone who is technically literate

[@HansLasser]

Sadly a lot of people in position of authority thinks they are the smartest in the room.

[@beenaplumber8379]

@@HansLasser Somehow that's always been Trump's belief, even when he's making a complete idiot of himself. He seems to think that because he won an election, he must therefore be the smartest person in every way.

[@serendipidus8482]

​@@beenaplumber8379apparently in the same way more psychopaths go into surgery more narcissistic go into politics. And trump is a classic narc. Technically literate would be a fine thing but I'd settle for just literate. Trump and borris both found reading difficult. There is no process by which they have to do anything that proves any competence. If i want to be a cleaner i need either experience or a training or to be put on a trial. As a cleaner. Hoovering floors. I am required to prove my ability. But there no process that even requires the president of the united states to have reading comprehension skills. Thats insane

[@garrick3727]

Thanks. Coincided with my need to find something to watch with dinner, again. Quite excellent. Kind of getting sick of the Trump jokes. I was hoping I wouldn't have to hear about the man for a few years. It's like the writers are just obsessed.

[@donrobertson4940]

I normally prefer Ian to Paul but Paul's been extra funny this series

[@carenann918]

[@HecticTrainGuy]

Never heard of this "Royal Mail" thing? can someone point me towards more info as it sounds quite interesting.

[@hebeusuthu8143]

Listen to the page94 podcast (ep 49), and the guardian’s “today in focus” two-parter pod from May 9th and 10th. Shocking.

[@beenaplumber8379]

By now I hope you've heard more of it than you ever dreamed. The whole thing was staring them in the face for so long, and they swept it under the rug while lives and families were ruined. Not a dozen or so, but hundreds at least. It's absolutely sick, and a very British political scandal. Not a particularly British mistake or tragedy, but a very British response to it, on the scale of Hillsborough.

[@davidspackagelp]

I definitely prefer the virtual audience to the complete silence I've seen on an audience-less episode of QI, but I wish the editors would at least cut out the occasional people chattering behind their computer.

[@williamgeorgefraser]

A case of Borrowed Cash and Carrie. As for Tony Blair, give him another couple of years and he will be a William Hartnell lookalike.

[@kwerk2011]

I got a "rapidly aging nazi agent from the final scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark" vibe from it.

Maybe there was a chance Blair was going to play William Hartnell in a doco about the first Dr Who, but it got cancelled when he brought peace to the Middle East instead.

You know, in America, when prosecutors deliberately hide evidence that acquits a defendant, they have broken a law and can be prosecuted. Don't you have anything like that in the UK? Or is it all just dealt with on sarcastic TV shows?

[@JasperJanssen]

In America, it is extremely unlikely for a prosecutor who does such things to actually be prosecuted for it. No doubt the same applies in the UK.

[@joelloyd9103]

We do sarcastic TV Shows better than we do the law. :-D

[@janeeyre1990]

I wouldn't really hold up our country, the USA, as a pinnacle of law and order right now.

something that bothers me more than i thought it would is the fact canned corned beef sales reached an incredible level. English people really don't care what they eat apparently. I wouldn't eat that if you paid me. It's not even that cheap..I mean, it's cheaper than a steak, but then again you're not eating steak..Great people but really poor culinary choices( at least in the London area, i know the rest of the country is a bit different)

The Trump blimp was designed by Matt Bonner and constructed by Imagine Inflatables of Leicester. It should be in a museum in Leicestershire not London.
