And 127kg for the metric. That's.... a huge weight loss as an absolute figure. I wonder what % of original weight that represented‽

When I read the fess I read it as 20kg and it sounded believable. 127kg? Possible but drastic.

“In 1975, no one died. In 1976, no one died. In 1977, no one died. In 1978, no one died. In 1979, no one died. In 1980, SOMEONE died. In 1981, no one died. In 1982, there was the incident with a pigeon. In 1983, no one died. In 1984, no one died. In 1985, no one died. In 1986.I mean, I could go on.”

"It's complicated".

Km for some things, miles for others.

Litres for fuel, pints for milk (unless non-dairy!) & beer.

Kg for weight unless people when it's stone & lbs.

Metres. Unless height of people (ft & in). Or, bizarrely, Subway "sandwiches".

A mess!

Historically accurate: In the French court at Versailles, most of the King's activities, from waking to bedtime, even the King's bowel movements, were a public ceremony attended by select members of the nobility. It was a significant honour symbolic of elevated status in the court hierarchy.

Ostrich? Dodo? Quail?

Quite a difference in value. And weight. And time required to hard or soft boil... ⏳️

It was a really great show, yes. Nice eclectic crowd, ready to forgive & absolve guilt - but not to forgive EVERYTHING!

Excellent format, enjoyed every minute, haven't laughed so much in a long time...

The absence of historical violence-free examples (I can find none, but happy to be corrected if there are any) is, to say the least, disturbing and depressing

Complete with all that yummy bitter almond taste if you crunch the pips.

Just don't eat too many that way...
