Compared to what HIGNFY used to be, I still find it very funny, and very relevant and a brilliant show we all over the world are lucky to be able to view. I dont know any other country that produces & televizes politically knowledgeable comedians and writers, and witty politicans.

Henning cracking a Count Dankula joke - Legend...
@granthurlburt40622 роки тому
I find Hennig funny in three ways. Firstly, he is very witty. Secondly, his usage and pronunciation of English idioms is funny. Thirdly, I am constantly amazed at hearing humour coming from a German (my own biases. Germans are great and Germany a fascinating country but few will deny they're a little stiff).
@marywood87942 роки тому
I can see your point. Growing up, my best friend's mother was from West Germany and never got humor. This was in the America. She was very serious and really seemed to think that people were out to get her instead just joking with her. It was odd because she was fluent in English. Once she thought that my mother was saying that her daughter stole my jacket because she had the same jacket as me. My mother's sarcasm went right over her head and she was deeply offended!

I had problems with a Ryanair flight from Germany once and ended up having a high speed train. I went into the local station to buy a ticket and said that I wanted a Eurostar ticket to London. The guy looked at me and said, in perfect English, with a straight face, When you see the price you might still need it but you won’t want it. Don’t put a whole nation down because of what you read in the Express or Telegraph. 🙂🙂

Are avocados sold by weight in major UK grocery chains? Because in my homes, Australia and the US, they're sold mostly per item. Recently I saw someone at a supermarket place a barcode sticker over the barcode of a $20 Camelbak water bottle. I don't know whether they were caught or how much they ended up paying, but you'd have to think that it happens quite a lot. And the stores would need to be very vigilant to safeguard against it.
@hayreddinbarbarossa6613 роки тому
In Australia they've sold individually but you still put them through as onions and it'll calculate by weight.

I'm a bit confused about Queen Victoria & the coronation ring finger mix-up. (30 minute mark) Frank read that "...it was sized for her little finger but the Archbishop forced it on her *fourth* finger." I got the gist of the story but the little finger *is* the fourth finger. Do many/most Brits count the thumb as a finger? (No pun intended!) Signed, A curious American

Yes, in the UK they count the thumb as a finger. Don't US folk have middle fingers?

@myoldvhstapes9 місяців тому
I know this comment is ancient, but I've just watched in 2023: They also made a joke about a wedding ring going on the THIRD finger, which would be correct for the ring finger. So I think the Victoria joke was an error.

@@myoldvhstapes Ooh, well spotted! This question is actually based on context. I'm American, and I teach guitar. In the guitar world, we have 4 fingers and a thumb. I also used to teach anatomy, where we had 5 digits, numbered 1-5. So we use both systems.
