Have I Got a Bit More News for You S66 E3. Bill Bailey. 20 Oct 23

Bill Bailey is host, with guest panellists, Helen Lewis and Daliso Chaponda, joining team captains Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. 20 Oct 23

[@elizabethflynn8455]

Always a great atmosphere when Bill Bailey hosts.

[@rusticmallorca]

He is a legend, so quick witted in such a humble manor. I bet he hasn't even used the teleprompter and just ad-libed the lot

Popped up on my home feed. LOVE Bill plus we don't get this show in Australia,. What a great laugh! Also staying tuned in to recent British news in a comical way is THE BEST!!

@@frontenac5083Let’s just call it a Jimmy Saville tax and leave it at that, eh? Edit: just read your other comments, you’re ranting a lot. Rather than carrying on like a pork chop about copying free to air TV, you might want to work out what’s really bothering you.

[@angeladawn805]

​@frontenac5083 have a Snickers bar sweetie. Some of us expats rely on ViVaHD to access such programs, and we take the time to comment and say thanks to feed the old algorithm. I suppose I could use a family member's contact details in England to get access to BBC programs, but as our country buys them in - a few weeks/years late, it's a waste of time for a topical news program. Anyway, cheer up, life can't be that bad.😊

Really? It's incredibly lazy, and also terribly uninformed and misleading.

27:10 "MDSE ST" is "Merchandise Subtotal". Since in the US we have to do tax separate they add up all the prices first into a subtotal then add the tax(es) on it. Now of course if there are things on the receipt taxed differently (produce, prepared food, liquor) there need to be more than one subtotal and the appropriate tax rates applied to each. It does look silly, though, to have a subtotal for only one item, but nobody said America made any sense.
