Dermot and Dave, weekdays
0:02
from 9am. Today
0:04
FM. Dave's World,
0:07
Dave's World, if we don't let
0:09
him do it he gets ratty. Oh my God.
0:11
An unavoidable
0:11
fact of life. When you said that,
0:14
the time was 11.11. That
0:17
means you're going to die 11 times worse. I'd
0:21
be actually really happy if I got 11 chances
0:23
at it. I was asking where on
0:25
earth is it illegal to die? Here
0:27
are some of your answers that have come in on 0874100102. Neyland
0:31
and Doxas, Buckingham Palace. No,
0:33
I don't
0:33
think you can die there. The Playboy Mansion. Also
0:35
don't think you're fully within your rights to die there. I
0:38
remember reading about it, it's a town in Brazil where the mayor
0:40
made it illegal to die in the early 2000s.
0:43
No, that's not what I'm thinking of. What will
0:45
they do? Fine you or put your dead corpse
0:47
in prison? I'd like to see that court of case, says the text.
0:50
Which is fair I suppose. It
0:52
is illegal though here. Let's say you're not allowed to die
0:54
here. We're going to have to put you in jail. Over my
0:56
dead body! Carmel and Claire
0:58
says it's illegal to die in Parliament.
1:00
No, also not illegal there. And Owen
1:02
Leash says, Anfield Dave, I know
1:04
I wouldn't be caught dead in there. Whey!
1:07
And then he says, jokes and banter. Yes
1:09
Owen, yes Owen. It's great banter.
1:12
A lot of people do know this though, which is very interesting.
1:14
Seamus Masterson knew it in Ireland. Dunnegal,
1:16
someone else says it here as well. It is, someone
1:18
says like it's an island off
1:20
the coast of Norway. This is true. It's
1:23
a place called Svalbard,
1:25
which is a remote Norwegian island. And
1:28
it is illegal to die on
1:30
Svalbard because you cannot
1:33
bury anybody. Because the ground
1:35
is permafrost. You can't
1:37
dig it out and put people into it. It's not
1:39
going to work. Making it illegal
1:41
to die is, you know,
1:43
it's not as if people, you know,
1:45
pencil in their death into their diary. Well,
1:48
certainly I would imagine accidental death
1:50
must be, you know, forgiven.
1:53
But if you are on the island of Svalbard and
1:55
you live there and you're getting close to
1:57
death, you are flown to the
1:59
mainland. mainland of Norway, get off the island
2:02
and go and die over there. Surely they could just,
2:04
you know, it's easier to transport
2:07
a dead body than a live body, certainly.
2:09
Like, could they not just box you up
2:12
and send you over when you're,
2:13
when you pop the box? Apparently not. It's just,
2:15
it is illegal to die on Svalbard. It
2:17
is a bit dramatic. It is very dramatic, I feel. But
2:20
these are the laws and people have been living there for
2:22
centuries and they're all fine with it. They're just
2:24
not allowed to die on Svalbard. Well, if it's that
2:27
cold, why don't they just preserve their
2:29
loved ones? That
2:31
wouldn't be macabre at all. I know, but you
2:33
could get one of those like a, like a stand
2:36
from a small stadium and
2:38
just put people sitting in the stand like
2:40
sibutio people, just frozen
2:42
in time. So much of this is wrong.
2:45
No, none of that. Don't do that at all. Pre-tourist
2:47
attraction, I mean? Yeah. Do
2:50
you know the difference between
2:52
ginger beer and ginger ale?
2:55
No, no, not at all. I always been curious
2:57
about this. OK, well, here you go. Ginger
3:00
beer is brewed and fermented
3:02
with ginger and
3:03
ginger ale is just carbonated
3:06
water flavoured with ginger.
3:08
But ginger beer isn't alcoholic,
3:11
though, is it? It is, yeah. Ginger beer
3:13
is. But I buy things called ginger beer
3:15
that aren't alcoholic. Oh, yeah, like the
3:18
the butt things.
3:20
What are they called again? The Australian ones? That's a different
3:22
kind of... There's definitely butt things.
3:27
I used to buy them as well. And they do call them
3:29
ginger beer, but well, unless they ferment
3:31
it and take the alcohol out, because fermentation
3:34
obviously will create alcohol.
3:35
You can get an alcoholic ginger beer.
3:37
Yeah, that's why it's called that, because it's brewed in
3:39
the same way that beer is. Maybe they have. Yeah.
3:41
But ginger ale is just that. I'd love to try an alcoholic
3:44
ginger beer sometime just to see what
3:46
it was like. Honestly. I
3:49
don't have a problem. What's the name of the butt thing
3:51
before I sound really weird? What's the name of the Australian
3:53
company that sells ginger beer in that bottle
3:55
and you peel the top off?
3:58
It sounds like the butts. Does
4:00
anyone know 087-41012? He said
4:02
it works more, it'll come back to you. Why does it make me
4:04
sound less weird than I currently do?
