When Lister got drunk, he really got drunk! After celebrating his birthday with a Monopoly-board pub crawl around London, he came to in a burger bar on one of Saturns moons, wearing a lady's pink crimplene hat and a pair of yellow fishing waders, with no money and a passport in the name of "Emily Berkenstein". Joining the Space Corps seemed a good idea.

Why do songs get stuck in my head?

How do you wash a raspberry?

Bite size learning you can recite in the pub
I never get bored of what the QI Elves find out. Love it as always. Not always useful knowledge in day to day life but there will be a time when I need to know about winning a ‘lifetime’ supply of something (always read the small print!).
Look forward to more books! If you enjoyed this one always worthwhile reading the books from the ‘No Such Thing As A Fish’ podcast who are also the QI Elves.
