Hello, and welcome to jasonnew Land dot com. My name's

2
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:11.679
Jason Newland. Please only listen when you can safely close

3
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.800
your eyes. And this is Trivia Tuesday.

4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:17.760
Hello.

5
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.879
This is going to be in spats and spurts because

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:33.520
there are well there's still building work going on downstairs, so.

7
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:34.479
I don't.

8
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.359
Yeah, I just kind of got to stop talking when

9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.520
when the building's going on every now and then there's

10
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.119
big goal drill that shakes to the whole flat. But

11
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:51.000
it's not it's not continuous. It's not like all the time.

12
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.159
So I'm okay with that. Of what I just do

13
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:04.719
a recording and just take a little break whenever there's

14
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:10.519
a sound. Although, to be honest, I don't think you'll

15
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.599
hear it, but it's not like super loud on the

16
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:20.760
microphone because of microphone, because it's weirdly enough, it's a

17
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.879
good microphone, so it doesn't pick up.

18
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:26.640
Too much.

19
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:39.040
Of background stuff, if that makes sense. So what I'm

20
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.640
going to do, I need to figure out what I'm

21
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:49.120
going to talk about for my this week's Tuesday Trivia Tuesday.

22
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:54.000

23
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:59.159

or whether you like to sort of spend time, you

81
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.399

83
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.040
it just it helps me, but also helps other people

84
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.160
to discover my weird recordings.

85
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:05.519
Yeah, what is really?

86
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.319
Why is I look over and he's trying to get

87
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.000
to the table on the little table side to the

88
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.079
side of the thing.

89
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.040
And I don't know why. I really don't know why.

90
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:25.759
I've had four phone calls from a neighbor and they

91
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:33.199
called one two three times yesterday. The one two three

92
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.759
four times yesterday. No, not Friday, that was Friday. What

93
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:39.759
day is it today?

94
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:41.560
Now?

95
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:47.800
They called twice yesterday and called four times today.

96
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:49.720
I wonder what's going on.

97
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.800
They've not left a voicemailse so it can't be important.

98
00:07:53.839 --> 00:08:00.560
Can Otherwise I'd leave a voice for my message. Uh?

99
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:02.399
Yes, so that's this I really so I need to

100
00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:08.639
figure out what I'm going to do regarding the actual

101
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:15.800
trivia Tuesday, because I honestly.

102
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:21.959
I didn't, you know, I don't know. I do know,

103
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:23.839
I really don't.

104
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.600
I thought if you if you do, if you listen

105
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.919
to this and you normally listen to SoundCloud, then just

106
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:38.279
let you know. Also on my website, there's a link

107
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:45.879
with podcast apps that's in the index or in the index.

108
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.360
Whatever you call it.

109
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.960
I've listed all, well most of the main podcasts which

110
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.639
you can click on. So, for example, cast box is there,

111
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.600
and it gives you a link to each and every

112
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.759
one of my podcasts, so you can listen on there

113
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:12.879
or on Apple Podcasts or podcast app or Deezer Luminary podcast,

114
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:18.519
Republic player FM is boring, isn't it? Podcast Addict Podcast

115
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:26.440
Index Podchaser, pod Friend. There's a lot of pods, isn't there, Podverse, Podbean, Spreaker.

116
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.240
Of course, that's where I that's where the home is

117
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:34.399
for my podcasts and Spotify so.

118
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.080
And there's a p Yeah.

119
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.039
Spotify has all of my podcasts on there as well,

120
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.679
and there's a link you can find them sometimes if

121
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:51.279
you go directly to Spotify. There's some old podcasts that

122
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.480
don't work. I don't know why they keep them on there.

123
00:09:55.159 --> 00:09:56.879
So if you want to find the most up to

124
00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.840
date podcasts and the correct link, maybe just to my website.

125
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.960
It's really easy to find from there. And then you

126
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.080
can just save that link if you want.

127
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.399
To what else? Or else? What else? What else? What else?

128
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:21.360
What else? And I think I might need a toilet.

129
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:28.039
So I just popped down pop around the corner to

130
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:36.039
see what they wanted, and they gave me a bone

131
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.120
for Vinny, like a lambbone big old thing, because he

132
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.240
can't have little bones because it's not good, you know,

133
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.360
it's not not a good idea, but a big bone

134
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.519
or a little bit too big for him. But he's

135
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:52.159
loving it, and it was just monly just then there

136
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:57.200
to break it up. So he's very happy little boy.

137
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:02.120
Now it's weird because one of the people, the neighbor,

138
00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:06.159
She said, will he growl at me if I try

139
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.960
and take it off him? I said, yeah, probably. She

140
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:11.879
went up and he did like a little growl.

141
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.399
I ran away like.

142
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.440
And I said, you think that's nothing, wait to see

143
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:20.399
what he does with me.

144
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.159
And I walked up.

145
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:28.279
To him and he growd. He started barking, seriously, doesn't

146
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:29.600
treat me the same as other people.

147
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:30.440
It's not fair.

148
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.120
So I got no idea what I was talking about.

149
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:41.039
And I feel like I've not even really started the recording.

150
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:48.799
I feel a little bit flustered, a little bit blustered, a.

151
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.360
Little bit.

152
00:11:51.120 --> 00:12:01.440
To be fair, I don't know. So need to do

153
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:17.919
trivia on something. Find trivia on pigeons. Find trivia on pigeons.

154
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.080
The thing is I'm using chat g p t t

155
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.279
p g BT.

156
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:38.840
Look likely to use them in pigeons instead of pigeons. Okay, sorry,

157
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:45.799
I pronounced I spelled it wrongly, pitch yeah, to be fair, find.

158
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:59.399
Yeah, okay, is that better spelled it correctly? Yeah? Is it?

159
00:12:59.480 --> 00:12:59.679
Is it?

160
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:05.679
Ah?

161
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.679
So here we are one hundred trivia facts about pigeons.

162
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.639
I don't know why this is a trivia fact, but

163
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.879
it says pigeons can recognize themselves in a mirror.

164
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:25.159
I'm not quite sure what that means. No, I know

165
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:26.320
what it means, but.

166
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:31.840
The is that unusual for a bird to be able

167
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.600
to recognize themselves in a mirror?

168
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.960
I mean, what do they brush their hair?

169
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.240
Do they go they like do the old phonsie, You

170
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.240
have to be very old to know what I'm talking about. There,

171
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:47.559
you know he as they comb in their hair, everything's perfect.

172
00:13:51.679 --> 00:14:03.559
They've been trained to detect some medical issues from medical images. Wow,

173
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.159
that from an image.

174
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:09.320
See.

175
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.120
I don't know how much of this is true or

176
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.440
just made up, so I'm just gonna I'll say it anyway,

177
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.440
but it might all be lies.

178
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.639
This is true, this next one. I know this.

179
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:28.279
Pigeons were used extensively in World Wars as message carriers. Yes,

180
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:40.039
they were phenomenal, really, but I think I don't quite

181
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:47.519
know how it works. But I think once a pigeon

182
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:50.799
knows a root, so once if you can take a pigeon,

183
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:55.399
you can blind fold a pigeon and take it to

184
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.159
the other side of the country and it will find

185
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.000
its way back to where lives. So if I had

186
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.919
a pigion living here, nless, I've got Horace and I

187
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.799
grabbed him blindfolded him, which would be rude considering he's

188
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.679
classroom as a remember of the family, really, and I

189
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:20.559
took him to Wales Banger in Wales always Banger are

190
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.159
you anyway?

191
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:22.559
You know, just up Whales area?

192
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:32.320
And I'm unblindfolded him. What is the opposite that blindfolded? Unblindfolding?

193
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:38.879
I mean removing the blindfold, but unblindfolded.

194
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:40.519
Is that the correct term?

195
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:45.879
I don't know, and say go on go home now?

196
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:47.720
To start with, he probably be a bit annoyed to me,

197
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:53.000
like why did you blindfold me? You know, after all

198
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:57.519
these years, why would you do something like that, after

199
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:02.120
all this contribution I've made to your podcasts over the years, going.

200
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.480
Do you not appreciate anything I've done? And It'll be.

201
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.519
The thing is, if I took him there, how would

202
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:23.200
I know if you've got home or not? I suppose

203
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.320
now you could have a thing attached to it, can

204
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.840
you which should like one of those things are having

205
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:35.120
cars that you can tell where you are. Me in

206
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:37.279
the old days you'd look out the window, but now

207
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.919
you can look at the screen, which makes me wonder

208
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:48.559
how come, you're not allowed to use a phone. You're

209
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.559
not allowed to use a phone in a car, even

210
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:52.679
if it's hands free.

211
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:53.960
So what's the laws?

212
00:16:54.080 --> 00:17:05.680
Can I use hands free phone in car to text?

213
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:10.359
Can I use hands free FI and the call?

214
00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:11.160
It's illegal?

215
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:17.440
So it's illegal to use a handheld I said hands free?

216
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:19.799
Is illegal for a driver to use a handheld mobile

217
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.000
when driving to read a text or to receive check

218
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:29.759
messages in what about using a using a phone set

219
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.519
an over of a device when driving? You can use

220
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.200
a device held in your hand. If one you need

221
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.599
to call nine nine nine nine nine or one one

222
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:42.200
one two two five whatever? One one two, I don't

223
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:43.559
even know what the one one two is?

224
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.359
What is that? In an emergency?

225
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:53.960
And it's unsafe or impractical to stop? Two you're safety parked.

226
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.799
Three you're making a contactless payment in a vehicle that

227
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.440
is not moving, for example as a drive through restaurant, okay,

228
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.559
or for you're using a device to park your.

229
00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:10.720
Two What.

230
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.200
Are you using a device to park your vehicle remotely?

231
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:19.799
They forgot one very important one. There's no one around.

232
00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.519
If there's no one around, you can't get in trouble.

233
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.200
I think that's the one probably should be the top

234
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.640
of the list that most people use. I actually saw

235
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.920
a Lorry once. And when I leave a pause like that,

236
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.359
it sounds like I'm bragging about having seen a Lorry. No,

237
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:42.240
there's more to the story. I saw a Lorry driving

238
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.319
past me and I'm waiting to cross the road. He

239
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:52.079
didn't see me, and as he passed, and it was

240
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:57.640
very it wasn't okay, it wasn't. It wasn't fast traffic.

241
00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:04.960
But I saw he was watching television or watching a video.

242
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.079
It looked like he had a TV like a maybe

243
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.160
it was a tablet or something like that, and he

244
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:18.880
was watching something while he was driving. Now I understand

245
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:26.359
probably driving it can be a bit boring, and if

246
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:31.359
you're doing it all day long, and now that we've

247
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:35.920
got the technology, I mean, it's got to be probably quite.

248
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.759
Tempting to play.

249
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:47.599
Video games and stuff. I don't know, but generally, I'm

250
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.559
just thinking maybe we should be looking out the window

251
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:51.960
that the driver that is.

252
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:57.559
That's why I'm thinking with driver. I think the only.

253
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:02.079
Way driverless cars can work is if all cars are driverless.

254
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.359
As long as there's humans driving, rivalless cars, I don't

255
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:16.160
think will work like one hundred percent, because there's always

256
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:19.039
going to be that human error. But once every single

257
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:25.359
car on the road is automated and all synced together,

258
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:34.599
it kind of makes crashes and stuff almost impossible. Almost,

259
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:41.079
I mean, other than I guess vehicular failure like a

260
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:48.720
tire bursting or stuff like that. I suppose, and I'm

261
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:51.200
looking forward to that in the future because i'd like

262
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:56.200
to own a car one day. I don't quite know

263
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.519
how my finances are going to allow that, but I

264
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.960
think it'd be quite cool to have a car.

265
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:03.759
But not have to drive it.

266
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:13.240
To have that that freedom, because if you're in a

267
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.079
self driving car, surely you can just do anything you want.

268
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.640
You don't need to be aware. I don't know. Maybe

269
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.400
I'm wrong. Maybe you have to be like the second driver.

270
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:31.319
You're almost like the do you know when you get

271
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.440
driving lessons and you've got the other instructor, or the

272
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.240
instructor is in the passenger seat, but they've also can

273
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:39.759
take control of the car if they need to.

274
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:51.559
Maybe it's like that. Perhaps if the.

275
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.240
The automatic car is just having a grumpy day, just

276
00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.440
doesn't want to do anything, you can I don't know

277
00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:58.960
how that would work, but yeah, you can bring it

278
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:02.000
back and so I nope, that's it. I'm taking over.

279
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:14.319
See here's one that I didn't quite understand. Okay, you

280
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:21.519
don't use a phone when you're driving. I mean even

281
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:27.200
distraction like really driving. The big I think the biggest

282
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:32.000
distraction for any driver is a passenger. I mean, realistically,

283
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.359
it's the passenger that's the biggest distraction for a driver,

284
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:39.920
especially as the passengers talking and going on and on

285
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:45.599
and on and on and on, and if you've got

286
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:49.519
like kids in the car with arguing, and that's more

287
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:52.720
of a distraction using the phone, I imagine.

288
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:55.519
I mean you could say, well, you can still keep.

289
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:58.799
Your eyes on the on the road, yeah, but it's

290
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:04.559
still ahead a distraction. Listening to the radio, listen to music.

291
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:12.640
It's a distraction, but it's allowed. I do think it's

292
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.200
a little bit excessive for them to say that if

293
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:20.640
it's stopped at a traffic lights, then you can't look

294
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:30.039
at your phone, because I'm just thinking of every scenario,

295
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:32.720
the most that can happen is you're just going to

296
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:37.599
annoy someone behind you by not going quick enough, you know,

297
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.279
by not being aware of the traffic's changing. I mean,

298
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:44.880
I haven't given it a lot of thought maybe it

299
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:47.319
would be dangerous, but it seems like it would just

300
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:55.160
be annoying queuing in traffic. This I do understand because

301
00:23:55.160 --> 00:24:01.039
I've actually seen this in the past where Yeah, I mean,

302
00:24:06.839 --> 00:24:09.240
I think if you stood on the side of the road,

303
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.480
you would see, like if you just stood there for

304
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:18.160
eight hours, you would see hundreds of cars. If it's

305
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.559
a busy road days, you'd see hundreds of drivers using

306
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:27.359
their mobile phones while they're driving, especially if the traffic's

307
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:32.400
were really slow, like in almost like a traffic jam,

308
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:36.119
you'll see probably i'd say eight out of ten, maybe

309
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.559
even higher, of the drivers using a mobile phone in

310
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:42.279
their hand, holding it down so no one can see.

311
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.519
Doesn't quite work when it's nighttime, but you can see

312
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:54.279
the light, That's what I mean. But I do kind

313
00:24:54.319 --> 00:25:00.200
of understand why because I was I mean, it's this

314
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.839
person was parked, so technically you could say he wasn't

315
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.480
breaking any laws because he was parked and he was

316
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.799
using his phone. And I was on my way to work.

317
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:18.759
And this is back in probably two thousand and six,

318
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:24.200
maybe two thousand and five, Yeah, two thousand and five,

319
00:25:24.279 --> 00:25:27.079
I'd say, maybe two thousand and six.

320
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.000
So I'm on my way to work and.

321
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:35.279
I'm just crossing over behind this van and the ban

322
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:40.079
the van reverses into me. I mean, I get out

323
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:46.519
of the way in time, and I managed to jump

324
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:51.160
onto the pavement like the hero that I am. And Nope,

325
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:55.440
I'm not going to sing it. And I looked into

326
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:57.319
this thing and he was on the phone. He didn't

327
00:25:57.359 --> 00:26:08.000
even know, he was completely oblivious. And yeah, it wasn't

328
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:13.480
the greatest starter, I had to be honest. Oh, the

329
00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:17.839
law still applies if you're supervising a learner driver. Isn't

330
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.759
this interesting? So you could be you can be a

331
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:25.240
driving instructor. You're not even in charge of the car,

332
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.440
but technically you are. You know, even though the other

333
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:32.039
person's driving, you do have control that you're to change things.

334
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:38.000
But you can't use a phone there. The law still

335
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:40.359
applies if you're driving a car that turns off the

336
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:51.039
engine when you stop moving, Well, you can't do anything

337
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:51.839
with the car, can you?

338
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:54.119
So what?

339
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:58.960
Yeah? And holding and using a device as offline or

340
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:09.799
in flight mode? Why why would you use the devices

341
00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:12.039
offline or in flight mode? What would you do with it?

342
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:19.119
Unless you're using a calculator. I mean you're kind of limited,

343
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:21.960
don't you to what you could do if it's in

344
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:27.039
flight mode, so you're not allowed to even hold the phone?

345
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.519
What beef it's turned off? What bet if it's in bits?

346
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:32.960
What about if it's not being delivered yet you can't?

347
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:35.680
What about holding in an empty box? What about holding

348
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:38.440
a receipt of a mobile phone that you purchased? Can't

349
00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:40.640
hold that when you're driving a car?

350
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:41.880
I don't know.

351
00:27:42.559 --> 00:27:46.880
Maybe that's going over the top. Using devices hands free,

352
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:49.680
you can use devices of a hands free access as

353
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.039
long as you do not hold them at any time

354
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.839
during usage. Hands Free access means using, for example, a

355
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:02.680
Bluetooth handset voice command, a dashboard holder or matt, a

356
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:08.759
windscreen muff mount and windscreen mount, a built in saw,

357
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:14.920
no a built in sat nav, my eyesight built in

358
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:15.519
sat nav?

359
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:18.519
Okay.

360
00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:23.160
Studies have been done in the past that actually having

361
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:27.799
Bluetooth and talking to someone on the phone is a distraction,

362
00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:38.400
But hey, what about watching watching a movie or watching

363
00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:43.480
YouTube or TikTok videos while you're driving? Because that's a screen,

364
00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:48.720
isn't it. Penalties You can get six penalty points that

365
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.000
are two hundred pounds fine if you hold and use

366
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:55.559
a phone, sat nav, tablet or any device that can

367
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:59.079
send and received data while driving or riding a motorcycle.

368
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:04.599
To be fair, if you're ride in a motorcycle, I

369
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:07.359
can't imagine. I mean, how do you use a tablet

370
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:11.920
and ride a motorcycle at the same time, especially with

371
00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:14.400
them big gloves. I mean, they're not really suited for

372
00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:20.039
tablet screens, are they. You can get three penalty points

373
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:21.759
if you don't do not have a full view of

374
00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:26.240
the road and traffic ahead, or proper control of the vehicle.

375
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:35.599
You're not I often wonder about you know, when someone

376
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:37.759
gets sent to prison.

377
00:29:39.079 --> 00:29:41.640
And you know, they get like.

378
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.079
Maybe they don't stop, there's an xcent, they don't stop,

379
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:52.400
and it's quite a serious situation. They get get for

380
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:55.480
caught and they get put in prison for six years,

381
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.440
let's say five years in prison and band for driving

382
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:04.319
bann driving for two years. We're not gonna be able

383
00:30:04.319 --> 00:30:06.200
to drive for two years anyway, because I've spent this

384
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.079
next six years in prison. I mean, even with a

385
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:13.680
third off, they're still not going to have time to

386
00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:16.319
drive today. I don't think they'll let you out on

387
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:32.119
like little excursions excursions, nor fancy going for drive. So

388
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:34.960
I don't know what the rules are about watching, Can

389
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:41.759
I use hand Can I can I watch watch tick

390
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:46.519
top TikTok videos.

391
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:49.160
When driving.

392
00:30:51.680 --> 00:31:00.480
Hands free? Oh that's illegal as well. However, they're using

393
00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:06.680
a handheld device whilst driving is illegal and could lead

394
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.599
to fines, even points, being unto your license or even worse,

395
00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:15.400
even if you're filming hands free. Even if you're filming

396
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:18.759
hands free, you can still be penalized by the police

397
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.440
if you're deemed to be distracted, a risk, not really

398
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.079
not working. So I was thinking more watching, but they're

399
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:29.000
talking about making a TikTok video. So if you're filming

400
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:36.240
yourself while you're driving, which I'm pretty certain all taxi

401
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:41.880
drivers do for their own protection, but they're not doing it,

402
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.960
probably for TikTok videos, unless when they're not around they

403
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:51.079
do a little dance when it's in between customers. But

404
00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:57.279
you know, a TikTok dance or whatever. So let's have

405
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:59.799
a look what isn't and isn't legal. I want to

406
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:04.680
see there's any loopholes using a handheld mobile phone while

407
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:05.319
behind the bar.

408
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:06.839
Beyond by that, but.

409
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:14.680
Why is it taking? Okay, it's gone, so it just

410
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:17.559
covered it all up. Using a handheld mobile phone whilst

411
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:22.240
behind the wheel has been long controversial and incredibly dangerous

412
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:28.200
issue for UK drivers. Okay, so let's go through. What

413
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:33.400
is hands free phone? Use the law so you can't

414
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:35.000
hold it behind the way beyond the world?

415
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:40.839
Fair enough? And what if you need.

416
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:48.559
To take it out? What if it falls out of

417
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:50.160
the holder and you need to put it back into

418
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.720
the holder?

419
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:53.720
What if?

420
00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.160
What if the screen's dirty? You need to wipe the

421
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:10.240
screen on your trousers. Hey, this stupid thing is coming up.

422
00:33:11.200 --> 00:33:16.720
This is a really bad website. It's the menu is

423
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:19.799
right at the top and there's not enough room for

424
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:23.880
the text, which I understand. The menu is important, and

425
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:25.920
I've got a menu on my website, but it's not

426
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:31.000
It doesn't take up it's not on top of the page.

427
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:33.160
It's at the top of the page. It's not on

428
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:34.039
top of the page.

429
00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:37.920
Literally, it's taken up three quarters of the page just

430
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:42.200
for the menu. Wow. No, I'm not happy with that.

431
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:44.599
I'm moving on right.

432
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:52.240
Penguins Pigeons, I mean a pigeon named sir Ami received

433
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:57.519
the Croaks d G for bravery in w W one.

434
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:08.719
Cool pigeons can see ultra violet light. Okay, I'm not

435
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:12.119
sure what benefit that is, But I assure know his

436
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:20.360
benefit to it. Look, their navigational skills rival modern GPS

437
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:27.440
is yep, I mean they do. But I've spoken to

438
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:32.800
Horace in all fairness, you know, because I was I.

439
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:33.639
Was speaking to the other day.

440
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:42.119
I said, look, I said, you know pigeons. He said, well,

441
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.679
I am one, I said, and I also do not

442
00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:53.519
other pigeons as well. And I said, okay, but you

443
00:34:53.519 --> 00:34:55.440
you know, in the old days, you used to deliver

444
00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:00.239
packages and deliver messages. He said, well, other I heard

445
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:02.079
of such a thing, but I've never done it because

446
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:07.800
I'm only three. I said, okay, but did you Is

447
00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:10.800
it still possible to do? He said, well, yeah, we've

448
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:17.239
got we've got the best navigational skills that arrive on

449
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:21.679
modern GPS's. That was his exact word in which makes

450
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:26.000
me think he wrote this. And I said, okay, in

451
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:30.159
that case, can you just pop this message around the corner?

452
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:32.239
But I just tie it to your to your collar.

453
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:35.920
He said, I haven't got a collar. Get off me,

454
00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:38.960
Get off me, Take that collar off me. So I

455
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:40.760
put a collar on him and I added this to

456
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.639
a collar, and I said, he said, okay, but just

457
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.440
promise me you won't blindfold me anymore? I said, I can't.

458
00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:51.239
You won't be able to fly if you're blindfolded. He said,

459
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:58.480
actually pretty skillful. I said, okay, weird, and he said,

460
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:00.320
what do you want to I said, well, she just

461
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:07.320
ran a corner Bakerville Avenue. Bakerville Avenue, It's like three

462
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.159
minute walk from here, but I'm busy and I just

463
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:14.960
don't really want to go around there. He said, okay.

464
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:20.599
He's gone for about six hours. In the meantime, the

465
00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:24.280
neighbors phone me up, saying, where's that message you were

466
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:28.599
going to send in your carrier pigeon? I said, I

467
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:30.639
don't know. Did you not get it? He said, well no,

468
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:32.599
because we wouldn't be phoning you if we'd got it. Would

469
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:34.719
I wouldn't be saying where is the message? If I'd

470
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.639
got it? That would just be weird. I said, okay,

471
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:38.159
fair enough.

472
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:38.679
BlimE me.

473
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:45.480
What's everyone being rude today? And eventually turned up. He

474
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:50.079
looked very sheepish. I mean by that it wasn't covered

475
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:53.800
in wool. He he just looked a bit like, oh embarrassed,

476
00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:56.599
And I said what happened? He said, couldn't find it?

477
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:00.360
I said, what do you mean he couldn't.

478
00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:02.960
It's literally around the corner. He said, I couldn't find it.

479
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:10.800
And I said, I thought you had the navigational skills

480
00:37:10.960 --> 00:37:15.280
that rival modern GPS is And he said, yeah, but

481
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:21.400
we'd understand is if I lived there and you brought

482
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:24.400
me here, I could find my way back there. That's

483
00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:27.000
how it works. I said, why didn't you tell me

484
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:29.719
that to start with? Why did we waste eight hours?

485
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:33.000
He said, I thought might make an interesting story for

486
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:39.000
your podcast. I said, look of podcasts are not about

487
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:39.679
being interested.

488
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:40.800
It's about being boring.

489
00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:45.400
It's about being calm in people and just being relaxing.

490
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:51.719
And it's not supposed to be a super stimulating interesting

491
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:56.079
stuff about myself. And he said, well, you do quite

492
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:58.519
well then, because I've never heard anything interesting come out

493
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:02.639
of your mouth yet, which he gains that rude. Why

494
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:05.480
just because he messes up and he's not able to

495
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:11.679
find an address around the corner. And the passenger pigeon,

496
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:16.599
now extinct, was once the most numerous bird in North America.

497
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:22.519
I don't know why. I mean passenger pigeons. The problem

498
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:25.480
is they just got a bit lazy. I think, do

499
00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:27.679
you want to do anything like? Lets someone else do it.

500
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:32.159
I'll just sit in a passenger seat. And maybe that's

501
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:36.119
what it was. Charles Darwin kept pigeons and bred them

502
00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:38.119
for his evolution studies.

503
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:40.280
Oh, I don't want to know about that.

504
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:46.639
I imagined there was some weird stuff going on there. I'm

505
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:51.800
not saying Charles Darling was Darwin with had a pigeon fetish.

506
00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:56.320
I'm just saying that it might have been strange. Pigeons

507
00:38:56.440 --> 00:39:04.280
can recognize all twenty six letters of the alphabet. Really,

508
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.719
can they recognize them? Or do they just look at them? Now?

509
00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:20.559
Vinnie Vinnie looks at a book. Don't mean he can read,

510
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:24.320
you know what I mean? He watched the TV, don't

511
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:31.719
mean he knows what's going on. He looks at my shoes.

512
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:34.480
It looks at my shoes. Doesn't mean he can tap dance.

513
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:42.039
I want to learn to tap dance. They can distinguish

514
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:49.480
between different human faces, Which isn't that just a standard

515
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:54.360
thing like for everything, not maybe not worms.

516
00:39:54.480 --> 00:40:00.840
But I just you weird, isn't it.

517
00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:04.199
You hear a little voice walking through the through the park.

518
00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:09.119
Hear a little voice, Hello you? Right then? What how

519
00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:09.519
you doing?

520
00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:09.599
You?

521
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:10.039
Okay?

522
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:13.480
I ain't seen you in a while. It's a little

523
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:15.639
worm holding numberella.

524
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:19.639
Yeah, let me see you for one you okay, do

525
00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:20.639
I know you?

526
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:20.960
Yeah?

527
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:24.800
Yeah? You needly trod on me about a week ago. Uh,

528
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:30.400
sorry about that. I don't worry about It's okay, don't matter.

529
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:33.880
I mean if you do, I just even if you

530
00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:37.440
cut me into, it won't make any difference, really.

531
00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:40.280
Said, yeah, yeah, yeah, go on do it. If you

532
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:43.320
want to cut me into, I'll be fine. I'll just continue,

533
00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:44.039
I'll just be two of me.

534
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:48.679
Then is that true or is that just something that

535
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.719
we think when we're kids, And maybe it isn't true?

536
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:56.559
So why don't you search it online and find out

537
00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:57.719
when you do your podcast?

538
00:40:58.320 --> 00:40:59.000
It's okay?

539
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:03.960
Can worms be cutting off.

540
00:41:05.679 --> 00:41:06.519
And still live?

541
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:13.559
So the head of a worm may survive and regenerate

542
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:19.519
its tail if cut behind the glitterius or the clitter clit,

543
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:25.840
the clit elam the clit elum, and.

544
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:28.280
The head of the worm.

545
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:33.840
May it regenerates its tail. The original tail of the

546
00:41:33.840 --> 00:41:35.800
world will not be able to grow a new head

547
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:37.719
or other vital organs.

548
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:39.960
Okay, So.

549
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:46.239
Why is more research not put into this to find

550
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:51.320
out how it works? Because that would be perfect, wouldn't

551
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:54.599
it We remove a part of the body and a

552
00:41:54.599 --> 00:42:00.159
new one grows back, and if you could choose the

553
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.599
size of that new part, maybe have it grow back

554
00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:07.559
a little bit bigger. I mean, you know, I might

555
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:11.679
be in a queue there. How many were This is

556
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:16.199
a weird one. This is a BBC Science Focus magazine,

557
00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:19.159
and it is a question that perhaps I would ask,

558
00:42:19.239 --> 00:42:22.480
but I didn't expect to see it. How many times

559
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:25.320
can a worm be split in half and still grow back?

560
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:34.719
So it says here, contrary to popularly, contrary to popular belief,

561
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.800
worms cut in half don't actually turn into two new worms.

562
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:40.840
So that worm was lying to me, wasn't it saying, Oh,

563
00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:44.599
I only grow into know, only one part apart from

564
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:47.000
the head down that grows back in a new tail.

565
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:53.679
I just want to look at this, So there's a

566
00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:58.559
hand holding a worm. I don't think they. I think

567
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:06.639
they use stock images for these these websites, because I'm

568
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:10.800
just thinking. You mentioned if you as a model and

569
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:13.480
you get told, oh, you've got got a bit of

570
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:16.000
work for you today and need take like a couple.

571
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:19.599
Of hours, All right, what am I going? What's it for?

572
00:43:19.679 --> 00:43:23.400
It's for Science Focus as a BBC magazine Science Focus

573
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:25.280
website and.

574
00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:29.679
It's just an image. What would I be doing?

575
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:34.000
Oh, you don't have to worry about that, just just

576
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:35.039
just go in make.

577
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:38.840
Sure you yeah, you just turn up on time and stuff. No,

578
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:40.920
just out of interest. What am I going to be doing?

579
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:47.519
You're going to be holding a worm?

580
00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:54.960
That's the picture holding a worm, A hand holding a worm.

581
00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:58.440
Why don't you just use stock footage from the internet?

582
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:02.480
So you're turning down work? Is that what you're saying,

583
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:04.400
so you don't want to get paid?

584
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:06.800
No? No, not that. I'm just thinking.

585
00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:10.400
It just seems a bit weird that they would. Why

586
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:12.079
not just use an image? You can get an image

587
00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:16.199
easy off any website, or you know, not any website.

588
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:19.320
I guess it needs to be like worm focused.

589
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:23.760
Worm focused on the website.

590
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:27.840
You're probably not going to go on McDonald's will find

591
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:28.920
pictures of worms.

592
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:37.119
Generally. I don't know where I'm going with this. Well,

593
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:37.559
look at this.

594
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:41.679
To a biologist, worm refers to many quite different organisms.

595
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:47.119
The ability to regrow body parts differs anomalously between them.

596
00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:52.519
Although toils are generally easier to regrow if you mean earthworms,

597
00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:57.039
their towels usually die when severed, while for many other species,

598
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:02.320
the head portion down to the saddle can regrow a tail,

599
00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:03.639
although often.

600
00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:08.840
A stunted one. But you wouldn't really complain them, would you.

601
00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:10.840
You know, I don't like.

602
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:15.159
I've grown back my tail, But it's not as long

603
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:23.880
as it used to be. Earthworms could fully generate from

604
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:28.519
one specific quarture of their body. It's certain, although it's

605
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:38.559
not really known. And okay, some Doguesesia species can fully

606
00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:44.119
regrow from random body fragments of about ten thousand cells,

607
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:53.039
approximately one twentieth of the adult body size. Wow, I

608
00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:55.239
mean that's science.

609
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:58.599
I mean it's science. It's science fiction, isn't it. Really?

610
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:01.840
If you think about it, you get some of these

611
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:07.239
superheroes that grow back. I'm thinking of Deadpool, for example.

612
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:15.920
He grows back parts to have nineteen percent of the

613
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:22.079
body gone, to have just one twentieth of the body

614
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:26.800
and the rest of the body grows back. That's phenomenal.

615
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:33.000
But then if you remember carry On screaming, it's a movie.

616
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:36.960
Carry On movie. It's like it was their.

617
00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:42.239
Their mickey take of the hammer House horror movies. Really

618
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:44.840
it's funny. I love the Harry, I love the carry

619
00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:49.039
On films. I also loved the Harry horror Harry the horror,

620
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:53.639
hammer House horror films as well. But this there was

621
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:59.039
one bit and they found the I forget his name,

622
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:04.519
but he big Biggie Bongo or something, and he gets

623
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:07.159
his finger cut off. So they find his finger and

624
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:09.119
they regenerate from the finger.

625
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:10.400
A whole new monster.

626
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:19.320
Odd Bod. I it's odd Bod and Minibod something like that, and.

627
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:23.199
Great. Great. If you've never seen it, have a little look.

628
00:47:23.199 --> 00:47:26.320
It's probably on YouTube, to be fair, let's have a look.

629
00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:27.199
Is it on YouTube.

630
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:40.119
Let's just skip, let's go to YouTube. YouTube carry on screaming,

631
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:48.480
carry on screaming, full film. It is not okay, Oh,

632
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:52.679
you can buy our rents. Yeah, YouTube can be a

633
00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:55.719
bit weird like that. It's you can get some of them.

634
00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:59.719
You can get carried on kiber the full film. You

635
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:15.000
carry on screaming only one point? Yeah, no, no, how's strange.

636
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:20.400
No it's not on there. I don't know where the

637
00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:28.400
carry on movies are available to all watch.

638
00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:40.519
I don't know anyway. The it's a good movie. I

639
00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:42.559
like it. I like all the carry on movies.

640
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:48.119
I don't know why. I think it's an nostewic thing

641
00:48:48.679 --> 00:48:56.880
for me. I grew up watching them and there's there's personally,

642
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:02.280
there's a feel good lement to watching them because they're

643
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:07.880
very playful and very silly, and I don't know, I

644
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:19.199
just like them. Some I've seen this. Some pigeons have

645
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:25.480
been trained to play pingball, which I've found.

646
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:26.760
I've seen this, I've seen.

647
00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:33.519
Yeah, pigeons can learn abstract numerical rules like three is

648
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:41.280
more than two? Okay, how did they discover these things?

649
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:46.480
The term pigeon covers over three hundred species of birds.

650
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:54.400
Mm hmm, rock, I mean doves, doves are pigeons, aren't they?

651
00:49:55.760 --> 00:49:59.840
A dove is just a white pigeon. No, it's not,

652
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:00.840
is it different bird?

653
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:03.400
No, dove is a pigeon? Is a dove?

654
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:12.239
A pigeon's a dove pigeon. Doves and pigeons are technically

655
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:15.719
the same thing, but I have different new numbers of

656
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:22.679
chromosomes that ah, so there's issues to prevent them from

657
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:28.079
mating with each other. They're pretty much the same bird,

658
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:34.119
and they're from the same bird family called Colombia cumba

659
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:41.199
lumbee day. However, colloquial English tends to categorize them by size,

660
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:44.639
so doves are a little bit smaller than pigeons. I

661
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:52.199
think ten key differences. According to this website, bird helpful

662
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:56.559
because who if they probably fought. You know, one day

663
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:01.119
we'll put this thing dove versus pigeon, will do this

664
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:03.400
article because one day someone's going to want to know.

665
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:08.760
This was January twenty eighth, twoy twenty four and who

666
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:13.119
knew that one day I'd need to know? So it

667
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:16.480
says here are you amongst those who often wonder whether

668
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:20.280
doves are or are pigeons or vice versa. To give

669
00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:22.880
you a headstart, they are not the same, or though

670
00:51:22.880 --> 00:51:25.599
they do have a lot of similarities, they're the same.

671
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:31.440
Doves and pigeons are too closely related avian species, Although

672
00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:35.239
both are small to medium sized birds. Pigeons are slightly

673
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:41.400
bigger and of wider wings span than doves. Besides physical differences,

674
00:51:41.480 --> 00:51:49.239
these two birds also different differ in their habitat preferences, diet, behavior, calls,

675
00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:54.280
and let's focus on similarities. Why everyone focus on differences?

676
00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:59.079
You know, get back to conclusion inclusion.

677
00:51:59.199 --> 00:52:02.480
Come on location.

678
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:08.159
The dove worldwide, but most common in warm climates. The pigeon,

679
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:15.239
again worldwide, but most common in urban areas. You get

680
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:17.440
the wood pigeon, don't you which is in the woods.

681
00:52:18.440 --> 00:52:21.480
So the body in shape dove is smaller and delicate

682
00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:24.079
of a sleek body, smaller head, and slender neck.

683
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:27.800
That picture there looks like a seagull.

684
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:32.280
Body in shape. Pigeons a bit larger, plumper, bigger head.

685
00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:38.000
There's not a lot in it, really sort of wait,

686
00:52:38.199 --> 00:52:40.760
ninety six one hundred and seventy grounds for the dove,

687
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:44.800
two hundred and fifty five to three hundred and sixty

688
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:52.559
eight grounds for the pigeon. Yeah, the wingspan is there's

689
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:56.039
quite a lot of difference in size. The pigeon can

690
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:02.000
can drive a lot faster than the dove. The dove

691
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:05.400
can drive forty to fifty five miles an hour, and

692
00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:08.760
the pigeon can drive seventy seven to ninety three miles

693
00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:15.159
an hour. I mean that's going to be dependent upon wind, surely.

694
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:18.280
I mean on a really windy day, give it a hurricane,

695
00:53:18.280 --> 00:53:20.239
it can probably drive about two hundred miles an hour.

696
00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:27.599
Behavior gentle docile birds, which one do you think that is?

697
00:53:28.199 --> 00:53:28.960
It's the dove.

698
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:33.000
Behavior of the pigeons more aggressive than doves, but it's

699
00:53:33.000 --> 00:53:40.000
still relatively docile. Horace is pretty gin it's pretty genuine

700
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:43.880
most of the time, quite gentle, but has a bit

701
00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:53.360
of an attitude sometimes so predators, for BlimE me. It

702
00:53:53.400 --> 00:54:00.679
says predators, owls, cats, dogs, all that stuff, they're forgotten seagulls.

703
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:07.559
Seagulls are SIGs. Honestly, I've seen seagulls do some weird things.

704
00:54:09.320 --> 00:54:13.159
Not just yeah, I'm not saying that weird, but just

705
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:18.400
like strange things. Rock pigeons are the ones we most

706
00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:23.239
often see in cities, and they were domesticated that over

707
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:29.480
five thousand years ago in the Middle East. Ancient Egyptians

708
00:54:29.679 --> 00:54:36.320
used pigeons to deliver messages. Yeah, okay, and we did

709
00:54:36.599 --> 00:54:40.320
up to a few years ago. Pigeons are monogamous and

710
00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:45.719
often made for life. I had another interruption. I think

711
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:52.159
he was whining again. Took him into the garden, thinking

712
00:54:52.159 --> 00:54:54.480
he might need a you.

713
00:54:54.480 --> 00:54:57.519
Know, a PLoP.

714
00:55:00.119 --> 00:55:02.320
Didn't You just did a WII and came back inside.

715
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:16.760
So hey. So pigeons share parenting duties. Both sexes incubate

716
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:18.639
eggs and feed chicks.

717
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:25.840
Cool. I wonder what chicks eat.

718
00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:36.920
Really, if you think about it, If birds eat worms,

719
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:43.679
then it makes sense if they just took the bottom

720
00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:50.239
half of the worm with its permission, of course, and

721
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:54.599
then it could just grow back and it keep you know,

722
00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:58.239
it wouldn't diminish the worms. The worms would be happy,

723
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:00.760
well they have to be happy, but they'll probably be

724
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:05.800
happy er than if they were just ingested a whole.

725
00:56:08.719 --> 00:56:14.039
And yeah, I wonder why.

726
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:16.679
White birds and worms don't get together and say say, look,

727
00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:19.719
we know you're gonna we know what you're up to.

728
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:27.159
Maybe we can come to some kind of agreement. Baby

729
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:32.039
pigeons are called squabs. Don't see baby pigeons very often.

730
00:56:34.639 --> 00:56:35.079
I don't.

731
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:40.920
I can't remember the last time I saw a baby one.

732
00:56:41.719 --> 00:56:45.519
You really see baby pigeons, because this is the next one.

733
00:56:46.280 --> 00:56:49.400
You really see baby pigeons because they're staying nests until

734
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:55.360
almost adult sized. They feed their young with breast and

735
00:56:55.800 --> 00:57:04.800
pigeon milk sorry, a protein rich secretion from their so

736
00:57:04.880 --> 00:57:10.639
that's what they feed on until really pigeons can fly. Okay,

737
00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:15.119
we'll have done that. The fastest recording racing pigeon flew

738
00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:20.159
at ninety three miles per hour. They can fly over

739
00:57:20.320 --> 00:57:25.840
six hundred miles a day. Yet horrors couldn't manage around

740
00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:31.760
the corner imagining these defense like, yeah, but I did

741
00:57:31.800 --> 00:57:37.320
six hundred miles. I just went in the wrong direction. Okay.

742
00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:45.199
Pigeons used the Earth's magnetic field to navigate. They can

743
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:48.280
also use the position of the sun for orientation.

744
00:57:50.679 --> 00:57:51.079
Okay.

745
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:57.760
Homing pigeons were used in the Olympics to carry results.

746
00:57:59.679 --> 00:58:07.400
Why do you mean to other countries.

747
00:58:09.480 --> 00:58:10.559
Before raid?

748
00:58:10.800 --> 00:58:14.800
Well, no, I'm trying to think. Why would they need

749
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:15.840
to carry the results?

750
00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:19.119
I don't know.

751
00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:23.559
Pigeons are mentioned in the Bible as acceptable, okay, and

752
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:26.480
I want to finish that sentence. They are a symbol

753
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:34.199
of peace and the Holy Spirit in Christianity. In Hinduism,

754
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:48.719
feeding pigeons is considered a pious act, right. I'm going

755
00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:51.599
to have to look that up. I'm a little bit

756
00:58:51.639 --> 00:59:01.840
confused at that one. Oh oh, okay, I was first second,

757
00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:04.719
I was thinking that they were against it. But it's

758
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:11.079
something they do with devotion or in this word, moral

759
00:59:11.159 --> 00:59:15.199
integrity and adherence to ethical standards, aimed at achieve in

760
00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:17.119
spiritual merits.

761
00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:18.480
Okay.

762
00:59:18.559 --> 00:59:22.599
So as a part, I know what pissed me. I

763
00:59:22.719 --> 00:59:26.159
just thought I don't know. For some reason, I did

764
00:59:26.239 --> 00:59:29.400
know what pious meant. The pigeon is one of the

765
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:32.920
few birds with the ability to drink water without tilting

766
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:38.880
its hit pack. As the thing's a bit random who

767
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:44.719
noticed that there are pigeons races with cash. Prize is

768
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:52.320
worth millions. Some pigeons have sold for over one point

769
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:56.559
four million. You know, he does something really weird. Earlier,

770
00:59:57.639 --> 01:00:01.599
came back from my neighbor's house. Okay, a microphone is

771
01:00:01.679 --> 01:00:07.039
moving around for some reason, and he started eating it

772
01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:09.239
in their garden. Then I brought him around. I put

773
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:13.559
it back in its tinfoil, brought it here. He was

774
01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:15.840
trying to get it all the way, you know, back,

775
01:00:17.079 --> 01:00:18.880
give it to me, and give it to me. It's mine.

776
01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:23.280
I get home and he's just staring at me. So

777
01:00:23.280 --> 01:00:25.079
as soon as we get back inside, I take his

778
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:30.400
lead off and I put it on the floor. It's

779
01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:34.000
in a tinfoil. He picks a tinfoil up, the bone

780
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.639
falls out of the tinfoil and he walks into the

781
01:00:36.679 --> 01:00:40.440
where he runs into the living room, and I'm thinking

782
01:00:41.119 --> 01:00:42.480
he's going to come back and get the bone in

783
01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:47.639
a minute. No, So I walk into the living room

784
01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:50.079
just to see what he's up to. He's looking for

785
01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:56.360
the bone.

786
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:59.159
It's he's looking like, where is it, where's it gone?

787
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:04.920
It's like a magic trick. And eventually.

788
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:08.639
It took him a few minutes before he came out

789
01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:10.880
again and saw and he run and got it. But

790
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:13.039
it was just funny the fact that he was looking

791
01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:19.800
for it. Oh nice yesterday.

792
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:25.199
That sounds like quite a loud, quite a big plane

793
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:26.320
just going past.

794
01:01:27.639 --> 01:01:32.519
The It was VD day yesterday and there was loads

795
01:01:32.519 --> 01:01:33.800
of planes going past.

796
01:01:34.840 --> 01:01:35.199
Huge.

797
01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:39.360
How does a plane that big travel so slowly?

798
01:01:40.840 --> 01:01:42.679
I can't get it. How did it stay in the.

799
01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:47.159
How does it stay in the air traveling so slowly?

800
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:50.679
You seem slowly going past huge?

801
01:01:50.760 --> 01:01:53.920
Thing? Weird. I just never understood that.

802
01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:59.320
Urban pigeons have adapted to eat virtually anything.

803
01:02:02.320 --> 01:02:07.280
That's a bit like, I can't what it's that.

804
01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:10.960
I was gonna say, tis, but Belgium is the center

805
01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:12.480
of professional pigeon racing.

806
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:21.119
I'm not saying anything about that. At last we found

807
01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:24.320
something interesting about Belgium. No, I wouldn't say that, that's what.

808
01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:26.840
That's what Horace would say.

809
01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:31.760
He's just whining again, and I'm like, Okay, what he's

810
01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:32.159
looking for?

811
01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:33.440
The bone? It's on the settee.

812
01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:38.079
I didn't put it on the sety, so he must

813
01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:44.159
or did I? No, I'm pretty sure I didn't. I

814
01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:47.800
wouldn't put it on the sety Anyway, I can't believe

815
01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:56.440
how much disturbization he is giving me today. Pigeons have

816
01:02:56.599 --> 01:03:00.079
better hearing than humans and can detect a distant storm y.

817
01:03:03.239 --> 01:03:03.920
How do they know.

818
01:03:05.480 --> 01:03:08.880
They can remember hundreds of images for several they can

819
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:11.119
be Okay, I can't even how do they know this?

820
01:03:11.679 --> 01:03:18.800
They can remember hundreds of images for several years. I mean,

821
01:03:19.320 --> 01:03:26.400
how do you test that in pigeons? Pigeons were the

822
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:33.079
first birds domesticated for food. Okay, wow, the Romans used

823
01:03:33.079 --> 01:03:39.199
pigeons to deliver military messages. But we kind of took

824
01:03:39.199 --> 01:03:42.800
advantage of pigeons a little bit, haven't mean humans over

825
01:03:42.840 --> 01:03:47.239
the years. Pigeon droppings are once used to make gunpowder.

826
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:56.480
Oh god, I don't know what to make of that.

827
01:03:56.639 --> 01:04:03.199
I mean, they used it for gunpowder, just didn't work,

828
01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:08.840
so they found something else. Napoleon had a personal pigeon

829
01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:18.480
post network. Queen Elizabeth banned Queen Elizabeth the first banded

830
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:23.320
pigeon shootings on Sundays. That was nice of us, gave

831
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:27.840
them a day off. Pigeons are illegal to feed in

832
01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:34.360
some cities like Venice. I'm pretty sure you're not allowed

833
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:40.159
to feed them in Leicester Square either. Not Leicester Square

834
01:04:41.639 --> 01:04:49.599
Leicester Square, not Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, sorry, Trafalgar Square.

835
01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:53.719
When I was a kid, he used to be able

836
01:04:53.719 --> 01:04:57.800
to go to Trafraggar Square and literally have pigeons cover you,

837
01:04:57.840 --> 01:05:02.239
not I mean literally stay you, and people from all

838
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:04.480
over the world would come over and get pictures taken.

839
01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:06.960
And I'm sure they didn't just come over just to

840
01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:11.400
get pictures of pigeons, but it was part of the experience.

841
01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:16.280
And then I think it might have been the nineties

842
01:05:16.400 --> 01:05:20.119
or maybe the two thousands when someone in the government

843
01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:25.280
said no more, we're not having pigeons anymore. There was

844
01:05:25.280 --> 01:05:28.760
someone quite famous or well known that used to feed

845
01:05:28.760 --> 01:05:30.960
the pigeons every day, and I think he used to

846
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:40.199
sell food to tourists to feed the pigeons, and I'm

847
01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:53.119
pretty sure he got arrested. Pigeon feeder arrested Trafalgar Square.

848
01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:54.119
This is my.

849
01:05:54.199 --> 01:06:04.880
Memory, the forgotten pigeon food sellers of Trafalgar Since early

850
01:06:04.960 --> 01:06:08.360
two thousands, it's officially been illegal to feed pigeons in

851
01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:11.159
Trafalgar Square see.

852
01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:18.239
Little known law. I remembered it. Can you imagine.

853
01:06:19.960 --> 01:06:26.000
Getting arrested for feeding a pigeon and then they say, oh,

854
01:06:26.840 --> 01:06:31.119
also you get these things where say, don't you get signs?

855
01:06:31.199 --> 01:06:40.039
Don't feed ducks bread because it's bad for them. Tell

856
01:06:40.079 --> 01:06:45.880
the ducks. They don't seem to care the signs right there.

857
01:06:46.199 --> 01:06:48.280
I'm sure they're just as clever as pigeons. They can

858
01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:51.800
read it. Pigeons know twenty six letters. I don't know

859
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:53.840
if they know all the other letters of the alphabet.

860
01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:55.039
They know at least twenty.

861
01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:58.519
Six of them. Why don't you just read the ducks?

862
01:06:58.519 --> 01:07:04.039
Tell them you're not supposed to eat bread and it's

863
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:08.079
bad for them. But which is weird because I should

864
01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:12.000
go to the same duck pond every week when I

865
01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:15.840
was a kid, from the angel seven to seventeen, probably

866
01:07:15.880 --> 01:07:29.960
eighteen nineteen, every weekend go there, feed them bread, and

867
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:39.280
and nothing nothing happened. There was no there was nothing nothing. Yeah,

868
01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:42.440
it was different, different ducks every week, but it's still

869
01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:47.519
it was like eat, they're eating it. What was supposed

870
01:07:47.519 --> 01:07:54.599
to feed them Yorkshire puddings. They eat them as well.

871
01:07:55.599 --> 01:07:58.400
I used to take a little pack, little bag of

872
01:07:58.480 --> 01:08:01.400
food from the table and when there's no one looking,

873
01:08:01.400 --> 01:08:06.360
I'd chuck it in. The thing is with yorkshire put in,

874
01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:08.559
they float And that was a bit weird.

875
01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:11.800
No one knew it was me, but me.

876
01:08:11.800 --> 01:08:16.119
And my dad saying, why is there three Yorkshire puddings

877
01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:21.000
floating in the pond? And everyone laughed and I kind

878
01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:23.680
of thought, why they're laughing so it should be okay,

879
01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:24.720
but I won't.

880
01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:26.239
I'm not going to tell them just in case.

881
01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:39.520
So I'm sure someone got arrested two thousands, two thousands,

882
01:08:39.560 --> 01:08:44.760
early two thousands. It was from Kevin Livingston, who was

883
01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:47.760
the Mayor of London at the time, to deal with

884
01:08:47.760 --> 01:08:51.079
a plague which he called flying rats. And ever since

885
01:08:51.119 --> 01:08:56.520
then people have just used that terminology like if they

886
01:08:56.600 --> 01:09:01.079
said it for the first time, or flying like, oh,

887
01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:07.680
everyone's like, I've never heard that before. Yeah, leave, pigeons

888
01:09:07.720 --> 01:09:15.600
are cute and there's nothing wrong with rats. I was

889
01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:19.800
thinking of bats. No rats, Yeah, I'm not. Pigeons are

890
01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:22.079
not flying rats. They're not nothing like rats.

891
01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:35.560
They're just they're cute. I like pigeons. I'm sorry, I

892
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:36.680
can't help out. I just do.

893
01:09:41.800 --> 01:09:44.239
I'm trying to think. I can't remember anyway, I'm sure

894
01:09:44.279 --> 01:09:45.199
someone got arrested.

895
01:09:45.199 --> 01:09:45.520
There was.

896
01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:55.039
There's the long pigeon feeders, the forgotten pigeon food vendors

897
01:09:55.119 --> 01:09:58.399
or food sellers of the Fagar Square and the fight

898
01:09:58.479 --> 01:09:59.399
to feed the birds.

899
01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:01.159
This is from a couple of years ago.

900
01:10:02.199 --> 01:10:09.640
They used to sell Yeah, they used to sell food

901
01:10:09.800 --> 01:10:12.039
and feed and stuff, and I should do that.

902
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:17.159
I do, I did. I used to know. It's just

903
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:17.720
I didn't.

904
01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:22.760
Used to sell it. But there's a picture here from

905
01:10:22.960 --> 01:10:28.720
Blimey nineteen seventy two, a pigeon food kiosk in Trafalgar

906
01:10:28.760 --> 01:10:32.079
Square surrounded by pigeons who wait for seeds.

907
01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:41.760
So it's lovely, don't you think in a way? Kind

908
01:10:41.760 --> 01:10:53.279
of lovely? Kind of I don't know, I think so.

909
01:10:53.279 --> 01:10:56.119
So let's have a look what I've we got here.

910
01:10:57.079 --> 01:11:02.159
Pigeons have been sent into space. In Iran, pigeons are

911
01:11:02.199 --> 01:11:07.079
seen as holy creatures. Cool, I love I love pigeons.

912
01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:11.439
You can they can fly, They can fly through lasers

913
01:11:11.479 --> 01:11:17.159
in lab experiments without confusion. And one of the first

914
01:11:17.199 --> 01:11:24.800
people to study pigeons was Aristotle. They're being used to

915
01:11:24.880 --> 01:11:31.319
smuggle things into prisons, so they're basically they've been used

916
01:11:31.359 --> 01:11:34.439
to smuggle drugs and mobile phones into prisons, so basically,

917
01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:43.119
pigeons are like flying bums, flying bumbholes. Pigeon fanciers are

918
01:11:43.119 --> 01:11:49.800
known as pigeon men or pigeon keepers. Homing pigeons were

919
01:11:49.800 --> 01:11:53.159
a vital part of the French resistance, and pigeons can

920
01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:55.479
suffer from obesity if overfed.

921
01:11:56.880 --> 01:11:58.159
Anything can count it. Really.

922
01:12:00.359 --> 01:12:05.760
Ancient Greeks believe pigeons carried souls to the afterlife.

923
01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:06.399
Oh.

924
01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:12.920
Their digestive system processes food and under four hours. That's interesting,

925
01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:14.319
isn't it.

926
01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:19.960
Isn't it? I think so. I think it's very interesting.

927
01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:21.399
Yes I do.

928
01:12:23.239 --> 01:12:27.520
So, that's me done, I think for this one. So

929
01:12:27.560 --> 01:12:30.479
it's like to say thank you very much for listening.

930
01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:33.319
It's been a bit of a broken one because of

931
01:12:33.600 --> 01:12:40.039
the Vinsta. That's okay, so but hopefully I thing should

932
01:12:40.039 --> 01:12:44.199
talk about something. So remember to be kind to yourself

933
01:12:44.239 --> 01:12:48.600
because you do deserve to be happy and be gentle

934
01:12:48.640 --> 01:12:51.720
with yourself. You deserve to feel safe.

935
01:12:53.159 --> 01:12:56.239
Lots of love. Bye,
