When searching for a sewing pattern I stumbled onto Miles Jupp outtakes, and half an hour later I’m still playing Would I Lie to You excerpts.

There goes my Monday morning!

Several during lockdown! I'm home on my own with a toddler as DH is NHS keyworker. When DS is in bed I have been watching YT for some 'company' whilst I clear up etc.

Recents have been:
Old episodes of Supernanny and the US one
Pedicures of difficult feet (Meticulous Manicurist)
Ingrown toenail removal (The Toe Bro)

Sporners will enjoy the last two, although I warn you, The Toe Bro still makes me cringe a bit.

SweetPetrichor · 18/05/2020 09:20

Urban exploration and history documentaries have been my go to in lockdown.

Camper van living
Car detailing
House cleaning

I watch old episodes of Spendaholics 😂 I also stumbled about Ed Gamble and James Acaster discussing puddings too.

Murinae · 18/05/2020 09:26

I love a good Sporn video. Old series of spendaholivs sounds good though as does the toe bro!

RenegadeMrs · 18/05/2020 09:30

Seconding both old episodes of Supernanny and history documentaries. Currently reading Wolf Hall and been watching loads of Tudor stuff.

Also, stationary reviews.

I am aware I sound really dull!!

WILTY
HIGNIFY
QI
Fathering Autism
Mathew Posa
Occasionally, and shamefully Dr Pimple Popper or Ear Wax removals
TED talks eg on autism, psychopaths, dementia etc
Relaxing music
Old Pop songs: Queen/Fleetwood Mac/Cher/David Essex/Abba/John Denver and so on.
Tourville and Deane ice dancing
Funny items: eg the Blue Peter Elephant, babies laughing
Sometimes, dog rescues or elephant rescues (but so tragic)
Sometimes royal wedding dresses or film stars

I love a good blackhead video, or there's one about a vegan family of 10 in Finland, can't remember the name. Can get lost for hours.

SunnySideDownBriefly · 18/05/2020 09:40

I watch videos of exes talking about their relationship and breakups, very interesting and confronting in some cases. Also, loads of food videos Grin

The History Guy (+ bowtie)

I also stumbled over this guy whose videos about guns are fascinating -= you certainly get a thorough work through all the things to think of when buying a gun for home defense ... also if you've ever wondered exactly how a .357 Magnum stacks up against a .44 Magnum, then there's 30 minutes of your life calling Grin

Cosmic Shambles if you like comedy and science

More science from Royal Institution

And quite enjoying the series "Who said That ?" on EBC:

See y'all in 2021 Grin

I spent pretty much all of yesterday watching Ricky Gervais videos. They’re really great to sew to.

Difficultcustomer · 18/05/2020 12:02

Guy buys his own Harrier (worth watching for how he manages ot avoid saying it was UK designed and built ....)

Oh, forgot another genre: "Reaction videos" - to music, or indeed anything.
