- Is it too early to start with Xmas videos? Nope. Especially when you have to get in early to grab the good stuff.
This video is also probably the only one where I'll actually lick the face of Her Royal Majesty the Queen. I wonder how she actually feels about products like this. Does she actually have a licensing department for her likeness?
I did try the cocktail bauble with spirit and it was overpoweringly sickly. It did taste strongly of a pina colada type flavour.
If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:-

This also keeps the channel independent of TH-cam's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

"Mmmm, your majesty. Bluhluhluhp". This will have me laughing 'til the new year.
13:20 "It looks a bit fleshy, but then the Queen is predominantly made of flesh." Not if you ask David Icke, poor chap.
he should have gotten three of them for the beard club... i would have loved to see them all take turns on the queen... LOLS... Now i want to see a Presidential version...
Lizard flesh is still flesh.
@@InconsistentManner Anyone who made it would probably get a visit from the Secret Service.
@@23Scadu Scaly cold blooded lizardish flesh. (According to David Icke, poor chap).
@@InconsistentManner we could have a Donald Trump version here in the US.
I don't think it would offend, since so many of Our citizens are already licking his Arse so fervently . . .
I love the episodes you do about Poundland items because that's where I work. And learning what you often teach really gives me good insight that my own company wouldn't. The batteries for example.
And as for why the zinc batteries are still sold, until there is regulation against selling them we will always sell them. Why? They are within the top 150 selling products across the entire company. We make a buck-load off them
If we see a hairy electrician hanging from the ramparts of Edinburgh castle next August we will know why.
It'd be too funny if the queen actually finds Clive and licks his face in return 😂
He's going to get a visit from a couple of furry hat wearing fellows soon.
I'd have loved it if the Queen's pinky flesh was just the surface, and underneath there was a lizard lolly.
Interesting that I just watched a 16 minute video on stuff you can get at a store that doesn't even exist here in the US.
Was be because you wanted to see the queen lolly thing? That's why I watched it, and I'll never get to buy one either.
guess their like our Dollar stores here in the US.
Dollar stores sell the same kind of landfill as Poundland.
@@uK8cvPAq nah Poundland is decent stuff in small packages. poundworld has the landfill.
I've also got decent stuff in my small package.
Anyone else like to just listen to Clive's videos while studying cause his voice is just so relaxing?
"They really do light the balls very well"
Big Clive, 2018
I remember when Zinc batteries were substantially cheaper than Alkalines, so they were good for things like IR remote controls and thermostats without spending a lot of money.
"super" "heavy" "duty" I don't think any of those words have ever applied to zinc-carbon batteries
They were coined when they replaced the earlier and even crappier battery technology.
ChayD Is there a point on the load/time curves where they approach Alkaline, with or without factoring in the price and natural resource availability?
Whst was the earlier, crappier battery technology? Cant get much crappier than zinc.
@@simontay4851 The newer, 'super heavy duty', zinc *chloride* batteries replaced the old zinc *carbon* batteries.
"Ever" and "Ready" also sound like poor modifiers.
Zinc batteries are a cheap source of zinc and carbon rods.
And all this time people have been stupidly digging zinc out of the ground :)
Ooh, they come with inanimate carbon rods? Sign me up!
Perfect, I've been looking for some of these to make batteries.
What are zinc and carbon rods good for _besides_ batteries?
@@buddyclem7328 carbon rods are good for galvanic as an example
The drink looks like the old style fire extinguishers, which you threw on the fire.
Clive was awoken at 5am by the sound of hobnail boots on the front door..
;)
I just came for the royal blasphemy.
Classic Clive - "This probably will get me beheaded at some point." Your are the best Clive!
This site has cured me of my increasing soldering inferiority complex and now feel liberated with Lead....good old Lead, I disowned you once when you served me well, but it's now goodbye to all those crappy pretenders.
Based on your recommendation, I popped into Poundland and procured some Twin Peaks chocolate. Astonishingly, they do a white chocolate version also. Both are absolutely excellent! Every bit as good as chocolate named after a model of a certain mobile phone and white chocolate advertised by a bespectacled cowboy clad youth! YUMMY!!
Your vid was preceding by the brilliant Aldi Christmas ad, Kevin the carrot where parsnip is 'kicked right in the nuts!' Surprised they haven't banned that one, given the Iceland urangatan controversy!
Even Phil the Greek doesn't lick the Queen with that much fervour. After this video those Queenie lollies are going to have to be moved to the adult section of Poundland.
The liquor filled Christmas balls wouldn’t last long when uncle comes over.
im that alkie uncle
"Our little secret" Uncle likes a drink when he wrestles with me.
@@uK8cvPAq TICKLE FIGHT!
You'd like that wouldn't you?
PLAESE GIVE ME VODKA BOBLES NOW! THANKS. WHERE TO BAY THIS? I MAIGHT TO BUY THIS IN TIME BECOUZE WE HAVE A CHRISTMASS IN 6-7-8 JANUARY AFTER THE HAPY NEW YEAR HOLYDAIS. THANKS. WHERE TO BUY?
twin peaks are great, always pick up a block when im passing a pound shop. i learned fairly recently, that supposedly the way to get a piece is to press the end piece towards the rest of the block in order to easily break it off! anywho; a very interesting video thanks much.
"I'm going to have to lick the queen's face, I'm afraid. . .". . . Gotta be the quote of the year!!! I just might have to use that next time a buddy asks "what's up??"
I was fooled by the thumbnail in my subscription box. I thought it was an Ashens christmas tat special. :)
Ah, the joys of Her Maj getting some tongue action and the sound of Clive's mastication in the background... Could it possibly get any more festive? :D
The reason cheap zinc-carbon cells leak when spent or old is because the zinc casing of the cell is also the electrode. As the cell delivers current, the zinc metal is consumed from within (converted to zinc chloride), so the casing becomes thinner until a weak point is formed and the electrolyte leaks out. The "heavy duty" types have an extra layer of steel surrounding the zinc casing, which doesn't get consumed and therefore reduces the risk of leakage. However, the steel layer can rust from the outside, so the heavy duty cells can still leak eventually - it just takes longer.
The main reason why zinc-carbon cells still exist is because they are extremely cheap to make. Plus of course they are relatively safe even when they do leak, since the electrolyte is ammonium chloride or zinc chloride, or a mixture of both. Alkaline batteries use potassium hydroxide (KOH) as the electrolyte, which is much more corrosive and hence far more dangerous if it leaks out. If it is a slow leak and exposed to the air, then the KOH absorbs carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate, which has a tendency to form fluffy white crystals around the leakage site.
Oh my god Clive! I'll never unsee you licking that lolly. Wrong on so many levels. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The lolly part was perhaps one of the best parts of any Big Clive video of recent months...!
I had a set of the purplish ball lamps that lit a pumpkin up wonderfully
I like the led heritage lamps too thanks for sharing! Enjoy the Toblerone alike
I had some purplish balls once. It gets damned cold in Sweden in the winter. They didn't light up though.
I’m from Birmingham. And the only reason I watch your videos are because your voice is so satisfying
"Nommhmmnom... Sorry your Majesty. Blil-il-il-ip!" LOL
I picked up the globe lights and the £2 batteries solely on Clive's recommendation, and the lights now tastefully adorn some Christmas decorations.
I can’t believe you have less than 1 million subscribers it’s one of the best channels on TH-cam.
Ah yes zinc batteries, I have many fond memories of fishing them out of the pool of nasty brown liquid that they inevitably create in whatever container you use to store them.
I always enjoy watching videos on that tat you buy in poundland. Please never stop.
I've not seen battery powered Christmas lights, except in antique shops. They were used on farms in western Canada before widespread rural electrification, which occurred, I believe, in the 1950's.
Yeha, battery powered things are sold at dollar stores and pound shops around the world. Stop by your local Dollarama if your still in Canada these days and check out what battery powered lights they have in the Christmas decoration isles.
Interesting! I didn’t think they existed back then and honestly thought they were a more modern idea.
Its the LED revolution, you can toss these lights anywhere and they'll last a long time without having to run extension cords. My mom dots them around the whole house over the holidays, the outside ones even have timers built in and waterproof battery compartments.
uK8cvPAq Your mom sounds Exactly like mime!
I was waiting for this video! Thanks a lot for the awesome content!
You licking the Queen reminds me of a very juvenile kids joke, Why do they put the queen's head on stamp's? Answer if they put her bottom no one would lick them. Tree lights in the fifties they use to clip candles to to Xmas trees and house fires were common.
I didn’t think they’d use candles that long.
LOL Cheeky Devil :)
Here in Canada, we have a $2.00 coin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toonie#/media/File:Toonie.2012.design.reverse.png with a polar bear on the tail side, and the Queen's head on the head side. The joke we had when we were kids was that the Queen had a bare (bear) ass.
Oh man, I'm so happy I found this channel especially for videos like these.
I think this was in my opinion, your most entertaining video to date.
That moment when you see a Poundland inspired title and find out it's not Ashens :P
Clive you barsteward! I'm dieing from man-flu and you make me laugh so hard it's given me a headache...
LOVE YOU
It’s the noise you make at 14:05 that gets me 😂. Also quite funny just to keep pressing 14:05 repeatedly as you make those noise too 😂. A selection of random noises you make 14:05 14:06 14:08
This is the type of quality content I've been subscribed to clive to finally see.
You sir, made my day with this video. Very very funny!
cheapest way to make cold white LEDs into warmer white is to reuse the old quality street yellow wrappers and tuck them inside the lamp shades
My granpa had a set of tungsten lights and he always replaced any broken bulbs with different coloured ones and some clear ones as well. They were quite nice.
Thanks Clive. I wonder if the BigClive effect will kick in and our local Poundland sells out fast?
That sounds like the Techmoan effect!
Clive has done an Ashens video now. Brilliant. Now I demand a video where Ashens outlines the circuitry of a Pop Station.
Oh man! I've seen those little tungsten-like ones, thinking they actually were tungsten, seen they're battery powered made me laugh and paid no more attention to them. Didn't realise they would never light up with 3 AA
My brain was so expecting ashens it sort of broke for a full minute.
Me too. I thought 'where's the sofa?'
No, I was around for the 50's, and we most definately did not use candles on trees. We had strings of lights that used small Edison base bulbs.
I actually saw the recommendation for this vid a few days ago. Didn't look to see who's vid, because it was obviously Ashen's. Went looking there today to watch it, and was puzzled as hell as to where it went! Came here on my normal cruise thru the channels and "Ahhhh!, there it is!"
Each Kodak alkaline battery has about three times the life of the zinc battery of the same size. If you go to the web site you can download the datasheet for each type of Kodak battery. They state the capacity with a common load and consider them flat at 0.8V.
And many Alkaline batteries are inferior to zinc at low load, so powering a clock for example makes them flat sooner than the zinc. If I put a Kodak alkaline battery in the clock in my bathroom it will last about three to four months, but one of the zinc batteries lasts over a year. Put them in my torch and it's a different story of course, with the alkaline lasting about three times as long.
if alkaline batteries are only lasting that long on a low load, they are bad! we use alkalines in our clocks and usually get over a year of use...but it does vary widely....
@@andygozzo72 The original idea of alkaline batteries was always that they were intended to be used in high current draw equipment.
by far the funniest thing I've seen all this past week!
There was also a very odd TV series here for a season or two named Twin Peaks, complete with murder mystery, and a town that was beyond weird...
I feel like if we were to get a tour of your house, it would be lit entirely by plugin led chains and long tube lights sticking out of regular light sockets.
It's full of lots of weird DIY lights.
Bigclive, finally got a U.S. Quick tester thanks to you. They were $65 for a long time but found one for $45 and made the purchase. Every time I needed needed one I kept thinking why haven't I ordered one yet.
They're a very useful item for testing in workshops.
Interesting that Kodak is now into batteries while they missed out on the massive digital photography growth. I love the led bubble lights. The Queen lollie is very cool. Great video. Merry X-mas Clive.
It was a completely different industry. Kodak and Polaroid are both just generic brands now.
Cool, thanks for your reply, I learnt something new today. Cheers ! @@bigclivedotcom
Licking the Queen's face... glad it wasn't flavoured of mothballs and old linen... (of note, Clive, you seemed to take some sort of perverted satisfaction in doing so) :P
I bet the xmas lights buyer at Poundland HQ watches these videos for approval, every year :D
14:57 -- Our local supermarket sells orange juice that contains "sodium hexametaphosphate" -- which inspires great confidence in the integrity of the product.
I saw rhe thumbnail and thougt it was an ashens video;)

You could eat that whole bar and I'd still watch and listen.
You know, hanging balls of cocktails on a Christmas tree is a great idea. Start a tradition where everyone in the family present has to grab and drink one cocktail every hour from sunset until midnight on Christmas eve (or less if they're a lightweight and pass out or may pass out). Could bring quite a bit of holiday cheer. Invest in good hanging glass ball bottles and they could become heirlooms. I can see it now, the year 2052, a family chilling in the living room with some music playing grabbing bottles of cocktails from the tree every hour on the hour until the eve is done. I would say descendants, but, like me, you're probably not going to have descendants lol.
Clive licking the Queen was not something I ever needed to see. LOL!
Clive, we love you! Next time you are Brighton way, could you look at my Heath Robinson stage lighting whilst drinking free beer.
I do like how you don't just do tech products and I found it funny when you licked the lolly
We used a cheapy set from ebay as part of a illuminated prop for a show I was doing. They had some form of resistor in them and one of the units decided to overheat and actually melted the plastic battery compartment.
I wasn't paying attention and thought this was an Ashens video, was thinking its a bit early for the Christmas special isn't it mate? But then it was Clive and was like oh boy, taking a look at some cheap Christmas lights!
Mmmmmmm your majesty ... hilarious giggling ensued.
If they ditched Zinc Chloride batteries, then Duracell would go out of business as there'd be nothing they could compare themselves to being 10x longer lasting than......
The heck with 'licking'! That wasn't a star, that was a carnation - you DE-flowered Her!!
She's 92 years old. If she hasn't been "deflowered" by now...
@@BlackEpyon She has kids so its probably a safe bet she has, unless she's the Virgin Mary
Yes! It's Xmas light teardown season. Loves these vids. :)
Tip the coconut drink away, and jam a string of LEDs in the bauble!
sounds like good advice generally.
Wondered where that was going initially...... 😱
I didn't expect the face insertion
It absolutely made my night
The antioxidants are probably citric acid, which is also a flavor and a preservative.
marketers used to called them antioxidants, orange or citrus flavours. lol
Citric acid is not an antioxidant. Ascorbic acid is.
I'm getting increasingly annoyed with cryptic ingredients like "natural flavours". I thought it was illegal not to list all the ingredients?
@@beware_the_moose
Only if it's an ingredient that can cause harm or health defects in large amounts.
Or that's how it is here in the states.
the Food and Drug Administration was created just for that reason.
@@beware_the_moose if that was the case then KFC has been illegally selling its secret recipe for years
14:00 "We are not amused." 👑👳♀️ Both "Eww!" and laughing out loud. I'll have to show the wife this one. 👍🍻
3.26am and I'm laughing like Muttley (of wacky races) to keep from waking the family. You are the Hero we need, but not the one we deserve right now....the bearded knight
LMAO, thank you for licking the queens face on camera it made my day!
Clive removed & ensconced in the tower...where he immediately sets about re-wiring the place....
@pmailkeey Since he put in hundreds of flame flickering LED lamps of course, all sourced for cheap by the government off EBAY
14:02 Considering you could have liked the featureless back, I fully believe you *wanted* to do that!
Hi Clive. How about taking the zinc batteries apply a load and run them till the juice flows out. I'm sure this will involve some stopping and starting or even some stop motion work, but it would be interesting to see at what point the goo comes out.
If Toblerone had not been so greedy, they would not have been ripped off.
Babies prefer zinc batteries, everyone knows that.
They taste better with a few neodymium magnets to wash them down.
Well zinc is very important for a healthy immune system...and we thought babies were stupid!
BobEckert56 is it nasally or anally !
You and Stuart are lucky to have a good Poundland. All ours in Cheltenham sells mainly is clothes, stationary and food. With a tiny electrical aisle consisting of a couple of mice and phone charger cables. I may never get the chance to have glowy balls or lick the queen's face.
Clive how about a video on converting a set of those lights to use a USB charger.
Thank you SO MUCH for shoving your mug under the camera to lick the lolly.
Twin Peaks is inspired by the Wrekin and The Ercall, here in Shropshire. I live at the foot of those hills and walk them every weekend. Locally, we were all buying up the original version as keepsakes, some even were by the case! The Wrekin was the big hill, the Ercall is the smaller. Better than Toblerone for the money. Now there's a white chocolate and fruit & but version, too (I must sound like and advert).
Great to see the Twin Peaks finally back.
Yes, I don't bother with the Zinc batteries, and the Sony ones really leak in a nasty way, causing huge damage.
I just got 9.6 Meters of Wilko multi-colour fairylights and decorated my bike with them :) they're good for indoor and outdoor use and run on 3 x AA batteries ( included!)
The Christmas hall seems to be getting earlier and earlier same here in the states they actually had the Christmas items out before Halloween.
I'd like to see the aftermath of the insides of Barry's grilled cheese toaster Clive, possible video idea or not? I love your videos and swear by your advice. Also I'd love to see a retest of poundlands batteries too my fusiomax endurance are not lasting as long as they used to keep up with the great content!
"I am going to have a bit of that right now" .... Good man :-)
14:00 is hands down the best thing I've seen on this channel!
“they really do light the balls very well” I’m cackling
Ahhhhh. I had wondered about that, we have a couple older sets led battery lights, I've noticed as the batteries drain the colours go out one by one till only blue left. Now I get it :)
I'll gonna get those peg ones to replace. Thank you
Hi Clive, Thanks for all the vid's You make it fun and so interesting. I have a couple of LED bulbs I would like to send you for a postmortem, I believe they are called "Cob" bulbs. How do I send you them and where? Thanks!!
with Christmas time coming up I always buy funny lights for the decoration. usually the pound shop is the place to be
regarding the first set of LEDs could it be that they used uv LEDs under the red/yellow converters where the uv LEDs would have a higher voltage drop than the blue/green ones?
Went to Poundland today, no sign of the led fairy lights but they did have the icicle ones you reviewed last year ........... in the nice fetching purple colour, also got the usb ones same as your ones to use as a night light but they look a little too bright now i've plugged them in.
I noticed you chickened out a little with the lolly you could also have got a prince Philip one to lick too
LOL
Actually tried the usb ones plugged into the mains in my upstairs hallway and they are not too bad ................. it will save me having to keep recharging the batteries for the battery set I have been using from last christmas.
That cocktail topper is just crying out to be made into a self sufficient LED Christmas tree hanging bauble with a hidden CR2032 squished into cap, I'm getting some just for that reason.
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was a new Ashens video. 🤣
