@@sfdntk i salute your self-restraint. i, on the other hand, feel no such need. these are more worthy of watching again than any syndicated sitcom's reruns. there's history here. never a bad idea to remind oneself that this is still the same damned story, just another chapter that's far too similar to those prior ... oh, and we cannot laugh at absurdity, it's almost always because of a resulting atrocity. laugh it up, says i, laugh it up, particularly at power.

[@cricketbatguitar]

Would be nice to think she saw it, though she probably wouldn't have really understood what was going on.

[@janeeyre1990]

A quiz about her business dealings (e.g., opening up new pork markets) would be the Big Liz Biz Quiz A quiz about her favorite carbonated drinks would be the Big Liz Fizz Quiz A quiz about her favorite brown bear would be the Big Liz Grizz Quiz A quiz about her (lack of) charisma would be the Big Liz Rizz Quiz I have two more ideas for quizzes about her favorite bodily fluids but I don't want this comment to get removed, I put a lot of work in

honorable mention for when Liz Truss needed 3 attempts to hold her own book up the right way.. THREE attempts!

[@johntomasini3916]

It's a right wing thing, Trump failed as well, he held it upside down.

[@michaelccozens]

And it's not like she didn't know she was going to hold the thing up to camera! IT WAS THE FIRST THING SHE DID. That level of preparation and attention to detail explains a lot about her Prime Ministership. Thank God we've got her around to save us all! Could the gulf between how competent these fascists think they are and how much they *actually* are be any wider? The universe is only so big.

[@topherthe11th23]

15:13 - I'm not sure we can say no sitting U.S. President has been on trial, but maybe that's right. President Grant got arrested for speeding, and he posted bail. He ignored the court date and so the disposition of the case seems to be that that counts as a plea of "no contest" or "guilty" and the punishment is a fine equal to the bail-amount, so Grant was assessed the fine in net terms by the fact that he couldn't get his bail-money back. A handful of other high-status males were arrested at the same time. Grant was the only one who didn't beef about it. The others posted bail-bonds too, but DID show up for their court date, all with the attitude that an "uppity" cop was ruining their "pleasant drive", but after testimony from women whose lives had been endangered by the street-racers, all Defendants were convicted and fined out the persnoot a lot more than if they'd just pled guilty and taken their medicine. (A woman and six-year-old boy had just recently been grievously injured by Washington D.C.'s speed-racing villains, who, on that occasion, all escaped.) The cop who'd arrested Grant was a Civil War combat-veteran from an all-black Union regiment, and Grant steadfastly protected that cop from all attempts to have him lose his job for what Grant thought was merely doing his sworn duty in line with the oath he took upon joining the Police. The cop's name was William H. West. Now, whether forfeiting your bail-money by not showing up for your court-date counts as a "trial" (with a guilty-result by default of absenteeism) or not, I don't know, but if it does, Trump can't be the first to have this distinction even if he's re-elected and stands trial. (It's a common myth that trying a Defendant in-absentia is ALWAYS prohibited by U.S. Constitutional Law, but that IS just a myth. It's SOMETIMES prohibited. There have been challenges of in-absentia convictions to the U.S. Supreme Court which have been upheld.)

27:33 - I'm glad they said that the pizza in Pompeii was from Dominus, but in fact Pompeii is one of the places where they've found more than one example of what is called a "SATOR square", "ROTAS square", or "PATERNOSTER square". So that pizza might have come from PATERNOSTER's (loosely, "Godfather's").

[@Fiidnrnhr]

Quite surprised at how unanimously they defend the idiotic idea of the rolling smoking ban.

[@garrick3727]

I thought that too. Munya was biting his tongue. Do they not realize that if they make something illegal it's just going to make it more appealing. It's likely to work about as well as Prohibition did in the US.

1:23 - Both gentlemen use a tailor who has the Starburst Fruit Chews technique mastered for the fronts of the trousers. Moreso the man in front. (I believe that that is Michael Gove.)

[@topherthe11th23]

2:15 - I'm glad I caught where they gave details about the new smoking-regulation. It seems (from this video) that it's an outright ban on selling cigarettes to anyone born after a certain year. I don't think that would pass a Constitutional test in the U.S.A.. The idea of a 43-year-old having rights, until they die, that a 42-year-old will NEVER have no matter how old they get doesn't square with our Constitutional Amendment that allows for only two classes: aged 18 or older, and aged under 18. And if you're not 18 yet, someday you MIGHT be, so it's not the same as NEVER having that right. That said, a lot of laws OBVIOUSLY violate that Constitutional Amendment. I think you can still get married in some States at an age younger than 18. It may be as low as 15 in some States. So that deprives a 14-year-old of a right that a 15-year-old has, even though the only permissible line-drawing is 17/18. Also, I believe that all 50 States have a drinking-age of 21 or else they lose their Federal road-maintenance money. That is blatantly un-Constitutional and just basically unjust because an 18-year-old can be drafted into the military. And it's insane to allow someone to vote but not drink alcohol. The U.K. should have just banned sales of cigarettes as an unsafe product, period, all ages. It limits "individual liberty" only in the sense that not allowing the sale of spoiled foods, or cars with no brakes, limits "individual liberty". It was also shocking to me to find out that before this law was passed someone could be UNDER 18 in the U.K. and purchase cigarettes.

15:37 - I had to wonder why they'd say Karen McDougal is the Playboy Playmate Of The Month for December 1997 without saying that she's also the Playmate Of The Year for 1998. I wonder if their only motive for the Year-title omission is just to make her seem a year older (going back to 1997 instead of 1998).

[@topherthe11th23]

TopherThe11th: Also, it's dodgy to say that someone is a Former thing that has a date on it. You can be the 2013 World Series Champions, but come 2015 you're not FORMER Champions. In 2015 you're still the 2013 World Series Champions. In 2015 you are CURRENTLY, right now, STILL the winner of the 2013 contest, and shall be forever. When there's only one of them (2013 had only one World Series Champion team), you're never "former". Note that nobody ever says someone is a FORMER Olympic Medalist. (That MIGHT or might not occur if a scandal had forced someone to return a medal won by cheating.) Bill Clinton IS a "former" President, but he is NOT the "former" 1992 Democrat Party Candidate For The U.S. Presidency. He will ALWAYS be the 1992 Candidate that he was. But the Presidency doesn't come with a date attached. (For instance, you could become President because you were Vice-President when a President di'ed.) Karen McDougal IS, not WAS, but IS, the December 1997 Playmate of the Month, and she IS, not WAS, the 1998 Playmate Of The Year. Nothing former about it. Also, nobody ever becomes a FORMER Oscar-Winner (Academy Awards) either (unless some rare circumstance rescinds the award--you don't become "former" just because a year or two passes by). If you're 2017 Best Actor, you always will be, never "former 2017 Best Actor".

[@garrick3727]

As conspiracy theories go, that's pretty tame. I assume the only reason they mentioned the month was so that Alexander could do his "I remember that issue" joke.

[@topherthe11th23]

@@garrick3727 Well, agreed, because it would make Alexander Armstrong remember something from 1997 (exaggerating his age) rather than something from 1998 (making him possibly a year younger).

Well, cancer is real and marginalized genders are not, so I think they have a point. Of course, maybe it's a mental health establishment, in which case I see what they did there.

[@shadowblitzer3472]

It did sort of rub me the wrong way, especially as a) It has nothing to do with healthcare (as in all it would do was make other potential workers feel more welcome) and b) I didn't exactly count but less than half of those were actually genders. At the very least it felt more like a lack of understanding rather than malicious or mean. Still enjoyed this!
