QI - Can You Name These Gardening Tools REACTION

[@danielnewill2624]

Since this episode Alan is banned from holding any antique museum pieces.

[@peteredwards338]

My grandfather,born 1879, used a walking stick which contained a concealed sword.

[@mmuzzwell3654]

My granddad used his sword on many a loose woman, from Korea to France, From Ireland to Brisbane. He had to conceal it for modesty reasons.

[@peteredwards338]

@@mmuzzwell3654 Pleased to hear he was an accomplished swordsman.

QI is responsible for filling my head with 100s of useful/useless facts. 😂😂

[@Thisandthat8908]

there were proabably some rules against hidden weapons, so they made do with a practical saw.

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

There are loads of weird gardening tools in catalogues today . I expect the cane/ saw might be an idea Alan could use in Johnathon Creek . The ' gentleman gardener' seems a strange concept nowadays when most of us are lucky to have a garden .

[@handsolo1209]

In the time period, a "gentleman" was a rich man who couldn't be seen to be doing the work of a commoner, so he couldn't carry around tools and do manual labor. By having those expensive devices, he could still look smart and dignified in his suit, and look to be a genius when whipping the saw out of his cane.

[@stevehartley7504]

The gentleman would have an estate, around which he would wander like in Jane Austen novels

8:40 condoms don't have holes both ends. Don't fall for that one again

[@MrAlexBun]

Jodi - have you considered carrying one of those walking sticks around in case you ever need to break an apple in two?

[@markcutting6504]

Does a gentleman gardener tidy up a ladies front garden😉

[@ndboulton]

you should try a full length episode... there are probably hundreds... it's where I think I learned all my useless information, and as science and information gets updated... there are plenty of things that are misrepresented from the earlier episodes. So it's where I get most of my misinformation from.

My uncle had a nursery, first time i learnt, they dont grow straight.

[@davidmckie7128]

Surely the boy who kept popping up with ideas "was amazing" or "did amazingly well"

[@slow074]

Speaking of saws, check out the episode regarding chainsaws, I am sure Jodi will find it quite interesting 😂

[@jonenih]

😂😂😂😂 thats deep. I loved that episode. Nick may be scarred for life. Or his secret weird sode may enjoy it

[@Max_Flashheart]

The Japanese developed growing fruit and vegetables in shapes because it is cool lol

[@watchreadplayretro]

There are a couple of QI books, they are always a fun read in short bursts, but since you guys are both teachers, have you seen the style of books about students' funniest answers to test questions, I have a book and it's downright hilarious (mostly no-effort answers and dumb answers written down when they don't know the real answer)

[@watchreadplayretro]

Oh and thanks for the vid as always!

[@TuxedoOzzy]

Nick, I can somehow imagine you walking the streets trimming overhanging branches with a concealed saw!😆😆 Loving the videos - keep em coming!

[@dazediss6629]

Saw him in the Gaslamp Quarter yesterday sawing all kinds of shit.

[@cheryltotheg2880]

Like the cap😅 🏏

[@markcutting6504]

Not you again😁🤗

[@dryfesands1367]

I think full episodes of QI would be far more interesting to react to than full 8/10 Cats Does Countdown episodes. You two seem to have much more fun talking about the topics that come up than doing maths 😁

[@MrAlexBun]

David Mitchell did a version of that “George Stephenson just wants to talk about his garden implements” joke - with a different historical character - as a skit in his “Mitchell and Webb Look” sketch show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWeyhmmFh86pm6M . I wonder which came first?

[@Thisandthat8908]

it's not realyl that obscure. It's like a band not wanting to play their big hits but their "new stuff".

[@ethelmini]

Nice to see Jodi dressed appropriately for the topic. Has she got her wellies on too?

[@markcutting6504]

Or going fishing with waders on!did you see her video about breaking an Apple in half.looked like she'd been on the church wine all morning😂signs of a mental breakdown😅especially shopping with the camera

[@stevemccullagh36]

Digging Nick's tee (dig it?) 👍

[@MrNikolidas]

Someone should tell Nick that condoms aren't supposed to have holes at both ends, and that's probably why he has kids now.

[@dazediss6629]

I WANNA SAW SOMETHING

[@timothyp8947]

Hmm… should we be picky and take points away for suggesting Stephenson -invented- the Steam Locomotive?

[@Thisandthat8908]

it's one of these inventions that was just ripe. Steam engines had become small and powerful enough that putting it on a vehicle wasn't really a unique or far fetched idea of one person. Making it all work on a engineering level was the challenge with these things. Is "just engineering" an "invention"? To put all this together (first) and iron out the kinks? Since it was one of the biggest civilization changers ever, he can have some credit.

[@timothyp8947]

@@Thisandthat8908 don’t get me wrong… there’s no doubt the Stephensons were amazing railway engineers, but I was under the impression that Richard Trevithick is credited with the first steam locomotive… and this is QI, so it’s fun to deduct points from Stephen Fry for going astray 😜

[@ethelmini]

Rob's obviously been given a cucumber enlarger... well straightener at least.

[@william6682]

Can you pronounce those tools correctly?
