The Best English Lessons LIVE on YouTube - Wednesday 10pm UK time - 20th June 2018

doot-doot I really can't believe that it's

Wednesday again these weeks are flying by so quickly

what is happening? where is 2018 going? it is going by so quickly I can't believe

how quickly this year is going by I really can't it it seems like it was

only a couple of weeks ago that we were celebrating the new year and here we are

already halfway through June hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England

how are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy I really really

hope so here we go again oh my goodness we are back live can i

first of all make a very important announcement I don't normally make

important announcements but I thought I would start off with one tonight just to

be different can I just say that tonight we will be on for about one hour I'm not

feeling very well my hay fever today is being terrible in fact around about 50

minutes ago just 50 minutes ago I was sneezing my head off in fact I was

thinking to myself should I actually go ahead and do the live stream but of

course I am such a trooper whatever comes my way be it good or bad I will

always persevere so here I am I have my lovely box of tissues here just in case

I start sneezing so they are on standby just in case I hope you are well have

you had a good week first of all let's have a look at what I have on my feet

what am i wearing on my feet today oh let's have a look oh I'm wearing my

jeans and my orange red and blue socks can you see them there they are look

and a lot of people ask mr. Duncan what is that strange red sorry yellow line on

the carpet what is that strange yellow line on the carpet well that is just so

I know where to stand yes it's true that piece of tape shows me where I have to

stand in front of the camera so I will be right in the middle of the view so

that's the reason why that piece of yellow tape is on the floor for those

who are wondering I hope you are well today my garden is looking amazing at

the moment let's have a look outside some absolute glorious sights at the

moment you can see that the the de leus are coming along very nicely indeed look

at that it's incredible apparently mr. Steve

told me that he's been giving this Dalia some some extra plant food to give it a

little bit more energy and I must admit it looks amazing this year it looks much

better than last year let's have a closer look shall we let's get a little

closer oh yes very nice a very attractive flower and this year

the flowers on this particular day Leah are absolutely huge I'm not sure what

mr. Steve has been feeding to this particular plant I think it might be

steroids I have a strange feeling that this particular Dahlia might be on

steroids let's get even closer shall we oh wow look at that such a vivid image I

hope you are enjoying it and there it is look at that taken in the garden tonight

and it would appear that red is the theme at the moment in the garden

because also there are some lovely red roses in the garden as well

now I'm sure some people are going to say that they are pink but they are

actually red so they might appear to be pink but they are definitely red roses

in the garden and the view tonight from the house is absolutely gorgeous we had

a beautiful sunset tonight and there you can see lady Willington and Sid the

snake looking into the distance at tonight's sunset and it was a lovely one

at the moment that the sky outside is bright red it is absolutely glorious

outside at the moment I wish I wish we could all share it together but sadly we

can't so that is it that's that out of the way how are you

are you okay are you feeling better than I am feeling at the moment I must admit

suffering with hay fever yes it's true I have hay fever at the moment and it's

causing lots of problems and of course we all know what the problem is it's

pollen that's damn pollen that pollen gets

everywhere and at the moment the pollen is everywhere floating around and I must

admit it's really making me suffer at the moment I'm suffering quite badly

with hay fever apparently according to the news apparently it is the worst hay

fever season since 2006 can you believe it so yes all those years ago that was

the last time we had such a bad pollen season so this this year is proving to

be very bad so apparently the last time it was as bad as this was way back in

2006 so that explains quite a lot that explains why I am suffering with my hay

fever that's so much yes that is a picture of

the pollen close up that's what pollen looks like very close up the live chat

is very busy let's have a look if it is your first time please say it's my first

time please say it is my first time

you rosemarie says hi mr. Duncan I'm happy

to be with you with English learning and I'm admiring your lovely garden I wish I

could have one like it well the only problem with having a nice garden is it

takes a lot of work to keep it looking nice fortunately I don't do any of the

work mr. Steve does most of the work in the garden talking of mr. Steve he will

be here in a few moments get cold in here just me I think it's just you mr.

Steve definitely so there is mr. Steve he'll be with us later on on the live

chat and of course you are more than welcome to get involved as well tonight

we're going to look at some new English words that have just been added to the

Oxford English Dictionary we'll be taking a look at those I will only be on

until 11 o'clock so tonight's live stream will be a little shorter than

usual so I'm tonight suffering I'm suffering from hay fever

I'm South suffering with the hay fever I'm suffering because of the hay fever

that is what he making me feel unwell tonight have you

any decorative trees in the garden mr. Duncan yes quite a few I must show you

some of the trees that I have in the garden one day I will actually take you

around the garden one day and I will show you some of the trees now last year

Steve planted many new trees so he planted lots of new trees that are now

growing and they are getting very tall how can this live-chat help me for my

IELTS well there are many things you need to do to prepare for your IELTS so

not just listening but also writing reading and speaking so if your IELTS

exam is on the 30th of June then you should already be prepared to be honest

so to be honest you should already be prepared so don't leave it to the last

minute don't leave it until it's too late

Ahmed says what is your opinion about the World Cup my personal opinion well I

don't follow football but of course the news at the moment is all about the

World Cup for example I know that Morocco was knocked out of the World Cup

today and also tonight Iran were playing Spain I think correct me if I'm wrong so

I think I ran and Spain are playing tonight and as I understand it the match

so far has been very controversial because there was a goal that Iran

scored and it was disallowed the referee said no that goal is not allowed because

one of the players touched the ball with his hand so yes

that's what is happening with the World Cup and of course the other night

England won their match so England are going through to the next stage of the

World Cup but yes Iran are playing Spain at the moment

apparently I am right I am correct egg you t'v says hi mr. Duncan you should

try chicken soup for the fever now what I have is is not

fever like a cold it is a fever that is just an allergy allergy so if you have

an allergy it means your body is sensitive to certain things you are

sensitive to certain things so what I have isn't flu it isn't a virus it is

actually caused by pollen going into my nose and I get it every year during the

summer months and it's a real pain it really is are there any little damsons

growing on your damson tree asks Nicole yes there are some tiny green damsons

coming out and it will take about two months for them to turn into full-grown

damsels I can't wait I'm wondering if mr. Steve is going to make some more Jam

this year Anna Anna asks are you a supporter of the England team well I

don't follow football to be honest I don't follow it I hear about it on the

news for example tonight I heard about Morocco being knocked out and also I

heard about Iran and Spain and of course I heard about the England

match everyone here getting very excited about that and I think also did did

Russia win one of their matches as well so I think people in Russia were getting

very excited as well so yes very well to speak English with others I don't know

what that means it is very good to speak English with other people yes I think so

Sivir is asking how old are you are you asking me how old I am that's a very

personal question you should never ask anyone their age especially in English

man we get very sensitive about those things would you like to see mr. Steve

mr. Steve is in the studio at the moment and I think I think it would be a good

thing to have mr. Steve appear right now here he comes

the did to do he is here back by popular demand from his parole officer yes

mr. Steve is on daily release from the local prison and it's very nice that is

here with us today yes of course it is mr. Steve hello and no I haven't

been released from prison I haven't committed any crimes well none that have

been detected so far it's nice to see you in one piece after last Sunday what

happened on Sunday you know the spiders the spiders do you want to see some more

footage of the spiders I have something here and this is something I recorded

yesterday I suppose I should warn people that what you are about to see is very

very scary we are going to get very close to the spider and this is

something I filmed yesterday Oh take a look at this Steve there it is

it's feeding what's it feeding on it's feeding on a small fly that was in its

little case so you've been feeding these spiders with innocent poor flies and

other insects I'm not sure if they're poor I don't know how much money they've

got but there were a couple of flies that were on the case and one of them

went inside because I was trying to put some water inside and the flight the fly

went inside and the spider at the fly I think you put them in mr. Duncan no I

think you deliberately put them in what's it doing it's eating that's

that's what it looks like that's what it looks like when it eats oh well let's I

think we ought to go away from that Mister Donut that's a bit scary

can you see its eyes those two little tiny dots above it's white sort of

Stephanie Riya it's that's its body that's not very

nice mr. Duncan did you enjoy that no your nose why because you've got hay

fever I know I have hay fever but my nose is okay at the moment it's not too

bad but on it hey they call it hay fever but it's not actually a fever no because

a fever if you have a fever it means you've got a temperature a high

temperature hmm I don't know why they call it hay fever I think it's because

the the symptoms are as if you have fever so the symptoms are as if you have

a fever but you don't have a fever so I'm a hundred percent healthy so what's

happening is my body is very sensitive to certain things and when the pollen

goes up my nose and it's been the worst pollen levels of pollen in this country

for about eight years since 2006 2006 yes oh well 12 years then yes anybody

else suffer from hay fever mr. Duncan's always talking about it you know you

know my biggest complaint is that no one else seems to ever suffer from hay fever

I'm the only person I don't know anyone else we don't do we don't know anyone

else that suffers with hay fever or from hay fever I do you know someone my

brother-in-law he gets it oh yes of course yes your brother-in-law does and

I have met I have met a lot of people this year who it looks like they've got

colds but in fact they're saying I haven't got a cold it's hay fever and

they don't normally get it because I've been the highest levels of pollen for 12

years yes I went into a shop the other day and there was somebody serving young

man serving and he was sniveling and gall blocked it look sounded like he got

a very bad cold and the woman in front of me at all are you all right you don't

seem very well he said oh it's just hay fever he said I don't normally get it

but this year it's been very bad it's dreadful so even even you've been

getting the the occasional sneeze yes I have I've been going outside and having

sneezing fits even Steve has been getting hay fever and he

ever suffers from hay fever I don't has been very bad this year I don't know

whether it's just people in the UK that get it it must be yes pollen attack that

is correct yes it comes and goes doesn't it hay fever some people get it and then

it they don't get it for a few years because I think it's all to do with

levels of pollen and different plants pollinating at different times so there

you go yes hay fever the screen seems to be sort of

just dropping no I'm just going through I'm just hello to everybody who said

hello to me hello Rosa hello Catherine hello Belarusian tgn tea Jen yes thank

you thank you for your lovely greeting Sergio says the spider looks like a

monster it does look like a monster it's amazing that now that is what you

call getting up close and personal spiders can jump Jeff you're right

yes we've got to be careful that mr. Duncan doesn't get too confident and

open the lid and one day jumps out and we've got to find it yes everyone's

talking about the football they were talking a lot in the press about the

football fans British football fans clashing with the Russian ball fighting

yes well this is something many years ago don't forget the the British or

English football supporters used to have a very bad reputation didn't they they'd

fight for fighting and and the people that did this were called hooligans

football hooligan hooligans that's a great word again I remember growing up

and if a child or a teenager was was quite badly behaved older people would

always describe them as a hooligan you you hooligan yes somebody who rode their

bike on a pavement for example or was rude to people or did things

you wouldn't expect in polite society you might not believe this Steve but I

was a hooligan you were never a Hogan as a child I used

to do some naughty things when I was a kid one thing that that my friends and

and I used to do we used to go into people's gardens and steal their apples

from the tree there how is it look at that a confession but that's not a

hooligan hooligan is somebody who who runs a mock a teenager who who causes

disruption they might vandalize things might terrorize old people by riding

their bikes on a pavement or yes but that's what we did people up we were

hooligans we were we were going over people's fences and in damaging their

apple trees by taking the apples off that that that's stealing and they they

they they tasted awful that's the strange thing about it we took the

apples but they didn't they didn't taste nice so so we normally ended up just

throwing them at each other English says am I going to root for Brazil well if

I've rooted for Brazil I'd like to but if I did that people would describe me

as being what's the word I'm looking for mr. Duncan there if I'm not rooting for

England they would describe me as a bit of a traitor yes or unpatriotic

unpatriotic hmm if I was to go around telling people that I wanted Brazil to

win I would be described as a bit of a traitor hmm and I might be beaten up in

the street yes so what you should do is go to where all the English fans are and

wave a Russian flag yes or a Brazilian flag if a fir if England get thrown out

of the World Cup then I will root for Brazil because once

they're out of the World Cup I can then confidently say I want

another country to win but right now I wouldn't dare tell anybody

I wouldn't want and in fact I would want England to win because you know I'm

English British why wouldn't I want England to win but if England get thrown

out I promise you I will be shouting for Brazil to

I think there are a lot of angry Iranians tonight why because they were

disallowed a goal so they were there playing Spain tonight and they scored a

goal there was lots going on around where the goal is all the goal posts are

and apparently one of the Iranian players touched the ball very very

briefly and that's it handball handball so because someone

touched the ball the goal was disallowed and I think some people are a little bit

angry about that well those are the rules if you touch the ball it's

disallowed it simple as simple as that I was going to say yes England football

hooligans as mr. Duncan said had a very bad reputation particularly in these

sort of nineteen eighties 1990s especially the eighties especially the

eighties but then one day they came across Russian football fans and they

discovered who was really the hard cases in terms of I think we met our matches

met our match which is a phrase you say when you when you when you've met

somebody who's is your equal if not better mmm

there was a famous clash a few years ago between Russian fans and British fans

and I think British football hooligans used to think they were hard tough hmm

and then they met the Russian football fans and they discovered what hard was

really about yes so so when we say a person is hard it means they are maybe

tough or aggressive they can they can defend themselves very easily so so that

the the English hooligans had a fight with the Russian hooligans not not today

not not recently because apparently this year it's not too bad but in the past

it's happened yes so we used to have a very very bad reputation we did our look

it says in Iran it's that they are allowed to touch the football but of

course in international football the rules state that you must not touch

the ball so if you're practicing at home touching the ball you know you're going

to come a cropper which means that you're going to come unstuck to find out

that it's wrong yeah if you start to do an international football shame really

why England not GP yes I don't know why it's well because it's England

Sergio because there's a there's an English team a Scottish team and a Welsh

team yeah so there are three separate and probably an Irish one as well so

there isn't a GB team because there's a team Great Britain yes there isn't one

there isn't a Great Britain team because Great Britain is made of a Scotland

Northern Ireland and Wales and they all have their separate football teams

so there's England Scotland to be playing I expect this Wales play I do

Wales have a football team I think they do but they're probably not in the World

Cup yeah I don't know I don't know you know I've never you know I've heard of

Welsh rugby a lot of Welsh people play rugby but I've you know I I'm going to

seem very ignorant here but I've never heard of a Welsh football team I've

heard of a Scottish football team and an English football team I've never heard

of never heard of Welsh football I think there is one but because wells rails

really don't treat football seriously because rugby is their their main game

they don't probably ever I don't know how how it works you have to qualify

don't you to be in the World Cup yes yeah they probably don't qualify yes

okay then so that so they're not they're probably not taking part yes I did make

a video lesson in Turkey you are right Inglis mr. Duncan today I watched a

video of yours in Turkey yes I did I made a video lesson in Turkey talking

all about going on holiday and that is available on my youtube channel it is

somebody's ask there I can't read the name

looks like MN prh is that Cyrillic yesterday that is that

is a bit of Cyrillic who are the best footballers then well probably on in

terms of number of matches one I would probably say it was England I mean I

don't think Scotland have ever won the World Cup yes they might have done I

don't know I'm probably wrong I don't know much about football no I'm not I'm

not sure if mr. Steve is qualified to talk about who are the best football

teams are including Mia I wouldn't know where to begin but I tell you who I'm

rooting for I'm rooting for Iran what you traitor

just just to be I'm gonna beat you up now mr. Duncan just to be provocative

just to provoke a little bit of anger because that apparently that's what you

have to do now on YouTube apparently YouTube loves it when everyone gets

angry about something I'm rooting for Iran so go around

I've said it I think you're probably going to get somebody knocking on the

door and the British Secret Service is gonna come and wheel your way I lock you

up they might think that you're some kind of spy or traitor

I don't you do you do realize I don't think there are other Iranian spies

there are the British ones yes you know the mi5 or mi6 will come after you

The Secret Service Secret Service and say mr. Duncan you're not very patriotic

just because you you invented football does that mean you have special

exception from the general rules I don't think so no no I don't think so not not

that I'm aware do do you have any Irish roots mr. Duncan and mr. Steve I do not

and I don't think you do either do you Steve no I've got some Scottish roots

okay apparently okay Steve some Scottish roots

Steve Steve has a little bit of Scottish blood a lot of mine is French blood

because my grandfather great-grandfather was

French so there is some a little bit of French in me my great-grandfather looked

a bit Chinese people used to say he was he is your grandfather Chinese and he

did look a bit Chinese so I'm wondering whether I've got you know some Chinese

genes lurking around in my body there's no

answers that Iran has lost one nil oh oh dear who are they playing anyway but

they were playing Spain Spain right okay so it would have been a draw but the

goal was disallowed well I mean if it was disallowed then all the action

replays will be able to show whether that was a correct decision by the

referee or not but I think I think nowadays the referee they were used to

make mistakes in the past didn't they but now I think they're sort of wired in

to the the studio summarise when there's a replay they can tell them straight oh

yes well they use computers know that it's all very high-tech they use

computers and replays and they can actually sort of pinpoint where the ball

actually is at any moment in time so yes in Argentina there are Barra bravas like

the people have died in stadiums during or after a game that's why I hate

football so I think that's probably very similar to two hooligans fighting each

other they're fighting fighting each other in people yes people do but this

happens isn't it when when there's a certain type of person who goes to a

football match well the weather well-behaved people there's a small

group of people that go to football matches who tour around the world don't

they know they are like professional sort of hooligans hmm deliberately

causing problems that's it they just want to cause trouble they just cause

trouble and that's that's what they want to do the minority isn't it

even the crowd just want to go there and see a football match and have a good a

good time out it's a bit like everyone on the planet really the human race

relatively speaking is pretty peaceful so that's how I look it in anyway

testosterone sorry the the male hormone testosterone oh okay which makes er

which makes people aggressive I don't have much of that and it's tribal isn't

it it's like it's like different countries or different religions

fighting each other it's the same with football it's exactly the same process

going on the smell feelings any opposites that's right any opposite so

one person supports one team one supports the other and then they

disagree of course you could also say that there are differences in politics

as well so people will fight over politics I think it's where is it at the

moment I think it's in there's one country at the moment where I think it's

I want to say Nicaragua where last week pensioners elderly people took to the

streets to protest and now apparently it started a huge wave of protests across

the country and it started out with with the elderly the pensioners because

apparently there are some reforms taking place and and the pensioners didn't like

it the elderly people didn't like it and they started protesting and now the

younger people have joined in as well so I think that's I want to say Nicaragua

if I am wrong I do apologize and toughen nikkyo Nicaragua it's not easy to say

Spain or England who wins this year well of course me being Carlos my alter ego

I lost some tears in the show that I was in I thought we were trying to forget

about that I should root for Spain I thought I thought we were trying to

forget about that well in England if England don't win if England get thrown

out I will because I've already been asked I will then root for Brazil and in

Brazil get thrown out reverse pain so yes apparently there

have been there have been two months of protests in Nicaragua yes sir so there I

was yes there was a big report about it last night so now younger people are now

joining in and yes that there have been this is true yes I did see this on the

news there have been many many deaths as well and it's really really quite a

serious thing so it just shows how one protest can turn into something much

larger over a period of time and it was quite dramatic the the pictures coming

from that particular country very very dramatic that have you shown another

picture of my daily event today we did look at the dailies yes thank you very

much we got very cold we got very close to the daily ER it's really done well

this year I think it's mr. Steve you gave it some extra plant food I've been

feeding it mmm feeding it yes and it's twice as big as last year it's

incredible a friend of mine says that when that when the tuber gets too big

you can split it in half with a with a spade and then you have two plans oh I

see so you can so when it gets more established you can actually produce two

plants mm-hmm that's amazing apparently I don't fancy cutting it in half with a

spade but apparently you can do that I like that that's pretty cool I like that

very much it's live English for those wondering we are talking about the

English language and today the Oxford English Dictionary published some new

words that they are adding this month to the Dictionary of the English language

that they publish and I thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the

words very briefly very quickly we are only here for a short time tonight

because I'm not feeling very well for mr. dunk or mr. Duncan poor me so here

we go some words that have been an added to the Oxford English Dictionary and we

will also be showing on screen the actual word as well so there it is the

first one now the is a word that might be familiar to

people anyway for example in a game of cards the ACE is I think it's the

highest the highest denomination isn't it in a pack of cards is it the ACE or

the ace of spades well I think it out does all the others

but anyway this is nothing to do with that so it's not a saz in good something

very good so if something is a cease it can also mean good so that is I think

that is actually a British expression but here is another one that's just been

added ace as a noun an asexual person a person who does not experience sexual

feelings or desires as an adjective asexual is without sexual feelings or

desires also of or relating to an asexual people or asexuality can you

believe that now this is something I've never really heard much about but of

course with words changing and of course people are becoming more aware of

sexuality let's not beat around the bush is it were literally in some cases so I

can't believe it just said that so that is a new word so ace is being used as an

abbreviation for asexual I suppose yes because we're talking about all sorts of

different sexualities aren't there now yes it's it's it would appear that

gender has become a very big issue with many people trying to gain right rights

for for their particular gender or their position on yes everyone you know people

talk about homosexuality heterosexuality bisexuality so now the people that don't

want to have sex are what they're to be recognized as well so asexual is nothing

so no shows that short for asexual then so

yes it's it's being used as a sort of abbreviation greevey a ssin yeah oh I

see transgender he but also yes you see that's the human condition he's not just

one thing we're many things he's wrapped into into one

we've gotta speed it on a bit Steve here's another one the day Leah doesn't

have a smell no it's absent less yes we're talking about new words that have

been added here's one I bet you've never heard of this Steve the Bechdel is it

better I'll test or Bechdel test it's the Beck Beck Beck L test Beck not

Bechdel test no no the D is silent ah Beck of test a little test this is an

interesting word because it refers to something that it's very topical at the

moment the Bechdel test an informal method of evaluating whether or not a

film or other fictional work portrays women in a way that marginalizes them or

which exhibits sexism or gender stereotyping so yes apparently for this

to actually work so if you watch a movie or read a book and you want to see if

the put that particular thing passes the test there are three criteria that must

be satisfied there must be at least two named women the women must talk to each

other and they must talk about something other than a man and apparently if those

things aren't met then they don't meet the test they don't meet the criteria

does that mean they won't win an Oscar I don't know what it actually means what I

think it actually means is people will just avoid the film or the novel so be

careful what we say here we always have to be careful what we say it's

everything now every word that you say could have big

consequences where everything is being tested is it to see whether that women

are being in some way treated unfair I think people who analyze these things if

they analyze them that they are they are looking to make sure that women are

being portrayed in movies and in in books or stories fairly what about what

about men in film who are always portrayed as as just sort of gung-ho

macho men maybe there maybe that's wrong as well well the problem with that of

course is the the argument is that that would always be the dominant one that

would be a positive thing really yes it could be another one and this is one

that we know we nuns watch we know this one binge watch this this is recently

recently been added to the Oxford English Dictionary

if you binge watch you watch multiple episodes of a television program in

rapid succession so one after the other typically by means of DVDs or digital

streaming we stayed up until 4:00 a.m. binge watching Game of Thrones so you

might just watch one episode but of course nowadays people like to binge

watch so they actually watch many many episodes one after the other

quite often until the very early hours of the morning so there it is binge

watch and we we used to binge watch things didn't we Breaking Bad when

Breaking Bad was a big TV show and everyone was watching it we would binge

watch so we would watch many many episodes one after the other

quite quite often on Netflix what was the other one we were watching the

expand the expanse a science-fiction programs watched Kent

can you believe they've actually axed that show

shame has been lined it's been axed so there is a third season of the X expanse

but if it hasn't been shown on I don't think it's available on Netflix yet but

apparently it's already been shown on TV in the USA binge watching when we were

growing up and anybody of a similar age to us or even probably not more than

that anything more than 10 years ago you have to wait a week before you could see

the next episode if you had a program a program that you were you liked very

much yes following the series you'd have to wait a whole week to watch the next

episode yes but now they must they make them all together and you can watch them

all you can buy the whole series all at once and just sit down and watch two

three four or five of them but that that's normally after they've been

broadcast on TV yes so quite often on television you still have to wait a week

so when the show is when the program is shown on TV you still have to wait

another week to see the next episode but it just depends but binge watching is

now the way in which people consume or woody or videos and movies things they

watch many things one after the other so you binge watch or have you binge

watched any programmes we'd like to know are there any fad them here are there

any programs that you have been yest watched sue catus binge watched lots of

programs oh the rich is the alien Sherlock Elementary Downton Abbey

Patrick Melrose Outlander can I just say I I've know it no idea virtually no idea

what any of those programs are I've never heard of them I've heard of

Downton Abbey that's that's but that's only because it's British but I haven't

heard of Sherlock you must have heard of Sherlock Sherlock oh yes that's a

British TV show as well but Outlander he must have heard of that one

Outlander No yes it's yes Outlander yes I even I've heard of Outlander yes but I

I don't know I don't know Outlander there we don't use Netflix anymore

Andrew stopped having that we stopped Netflix

we don't have it anymore the reason is because it's quite expensive and also

you don't really watch everything that they put on there so you end up paying a

lot of money each month for maybe one or two programs look at that

sue can't like Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm is another maze it's amazing

Seinfeld is our favorite all-time comedy well that oh it's very close to the

Larry sand I'll tell you soon cat if you watch Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm

you have got to watch Larry Sat what's it called the Larry Sanders Show the

Larry Sanders Show you must watch it I think that will come top of your list

after you've watched it but we love Seinfeld we love Seinfeld but we out of

the two Seinfeld or Larry Sanders show they were made at the same sort of time

yes so Seinfeld his comedy is observational

so he takes things from life and turns them into something amusing so things

that we do all the time in life and then he talks about them observational humor

he observes human behavior and makes jokes from it where is that Larry

Sanders show is about it's about a talk-show host yes and and the and the

comedy that comes from that Nicole yes I think you are right I think you can I

don't know it's my I don't know much about de leus but it's my friend that

gave me the day dear and he said that I can cut them and and then turn them into

new plants which sounds strange to me because if you have something a plant

with a bulb like for example a daffodil if you cut the bulb but that doesn't

grow it dies as I think so I'm going to find out more about that and and then

maybe next year I'll have two plants because I don't think this day leo is

going to fit into any pots I don't think I've got a big enough pot

next year are you being served says Jeff yes that is very funny one foot in the

grave mrs. bucket Oh mrs. bouquet

yes a very funny program I've got some friends that love that program keeping

up appearances I think it could be called mrs. bucket where you are but I

think I think the program you mean is keeping up appearances absolutely

fabulous yes very funny program there's a lot of people there

who like to watch very similar programs and we do Outlander don't know that

program at all haven't seen it program called the riches with Eddie it's hard I

think that's probably a very good program to watch because anything with

Eddie is hard and it is very funny so thank you for those suggestions there

mr. Duncan's wandered off I'm not quite sure why I think he's probably blowing

his nose I was actually going to what is going on here what is Steve done to the

live chat nothing at all I believe is now you had a problem that

doesn't look good to me what have you done Steve it sort of was doing

something funny so I try to fix it oh my god what have you done Steve you should

not touch anything ever ever oh my I don't know what Steve's done there the

mighty bush I think that the mighty boosh I think is the program Oh Sergio

is referred the mighty boosh yes we did used to watch that I'm just wondering

what has which is very funny show indeed put the live chat back together one foot

in the grave

one foot in the grave whoa that was a funny program I'm trying what I was

trying to do I was trying to find the Larry Sanders Show DVD but I can't find

it anywhere can't you know I can't find out I don't

know where it is it's very strange I'm fine today Pedro yes I'm feeling quite

well my voice is a bit not quite sure why that is it's probably

the the dry air jeff has watched are you being served that's also very funny or

it is yes that's an old TV show from the 90s program the 1970's and early 1980s

if you like are you being served you were like carry on films

yes let's not go Terry I wasn't actually intending to do all of this to be honest

desperate housewife friends we used to watch friends a lot we that was the

first program that we really watched together

mr. steve is a technical hooligan he is what does that mean I think it means

that you destroyed my life chat oh I see now I don't think I did

Fawlty Towers oh yes you can't go wrong with Fawlty Towers every time you watch

it hilarious what about James Corden do you like him Oh huh I think it's safe to

say that I will speak for mr. Duncan here that mr. Duncan is not a fan of

James Corden I think that's all we should say on the subject he is not a

fan I think he's one of those comedians you either love him or hate him but but

yes wait somebody just asked me where do I buy my shirts

Pedro actually I buy this is a very old shirt I normally do my gardening in this

shirt and... it's nice to see you've dressed

up tonight Steve you're wearing the shirt that you do the gardening in great

not sure if Pedro is is is complimenting me or suggesting that maybe I should

have some new clothes I tend to buy virtually all my clothes from one shop

don't I mr. Duncan because I find that what I hate shopping for clothes anyway

I hate it and so I found one shop where if I go in there I go to this one shop

everything fits me there you know how you go to some shops and they're there

clothes just don't seem to fit you properly so I go to GAP

or THE GAP if you're in America and I wait for the sales because it's always

expensive closing gap but if you wait they always have like 40% off nobody

ever buys closing is this turning into a commercial for gap no but I go in there

and literally because I can be in and out very I just know the size I say oh

like that shirt I don't even have to try it on I just buy it I know it'll fit

that's how I like to go clothes shop by the way if anyone from YouTube is

watching we are not being sponsored by GAP okay but feel free to ask us if you

wish to yes I'm sure the chief executive of GAP is watching at the moment I'm

sure just the GAP is expensive it just wait you know every month they have a

huge sale yeah there was with a gap shop do you remember mr. Duncan a shop the

GAP shop opened in involve a Hampton here where we used to live in

Wolverhampton it's quite you know not a particularly rich town rough it's a bit

rough so GAP is a sort of a high-end clothes shop really it opened it only

lasted two years because nobody bought anything at the full price they always

waited for the sales so they didn't make any profits at all sorry that it was I

didn't make any profits at petrol Lysias now we haven't seen that right I'm

writing that down yes do you write it down the other week you wrote it down

the other week can we search this on on YouTube petrol issuses is a show about

vintage cars in two years time I will have a vintage car because my car is

eight years old now and in two years time when a car is ten years old it's

described as a classic car in the UK so it's old enough to qualify as classic

car status and you get reduced insurance premiums so that's I'm going to hang

onto it now right what hang on to what the car oh yes well of course I am

because I'm still driving it yeah no no I just

my only I don't have it I'm not really into brands pedro

I just sort of like clothes from GAP because they fit me and I can get them

when they're in the sale so do you like this top then Pedro or not that's what

I'd like to know whether you actually like my style of clothes all these

wonderful new words here written down and I dunno what happens in a live a

lesson where people are interacting we can go off in many different direction

Jamelia likes your polo shirt thank you very much it's very old I do the

gardening in this of course I want it I want to stand out stripes you certainly

stand out that's there's no doubt about that

I mind you having said that a friend of mine what's that a friend of mine at

work yeah were sorry he's got a friend that works for this clothing company

what what's the one of those I bought some clothes didn't I recently that that

sort of they're really sort of high-end clothes not Paul Smith Paul Smith it

doesn't sound like a very glamorous name this Paul Smith is a very expensive

brand now I would never ever buy anything you don't like their jackets

are about 200 pounds each a shirt is something like 60 pounds I would never

pay that for a shirt but because he knows this friend that works it for him

what did I say it was called again Paul Smith he gets all the the stuff that's

going out out of stock and yet like you can buy a shirt for £10 he comes to

our meetings with a load of clothes and their brand new reduced down to about 10

percent of their original value so yes that's how I buy my clothes so basically

you buy you buy clothes that have been thrown on the floor

Oh Thank You Pedro I shall try and wear a different one every every week just

for you Pedro

oh right it's quite old this shirt I'm getting compliments

oh how Steve is very easily easily pleased

oh yes actually I was pointing it's pointing I was pointing to the clock

because can you see there is a little spider on top of the clock you see there

all the time it's being there spider Oh watching us did you see on

Sunday when when the spider was on mr. Steve shoulder and we were screaming

like girls yes Myka if you go to gap they've got

all these polo shirts because I like shirts with collars on I don't look

right with a crewneck hmm I look better with it I think I look better with a

collar mr. Duncan so I look better with it with a t-shirt with the round neck

that doesn't suit me because I've got ask me look strange

I've got a long elegant neck my neck is like a giraffe for you to say so yes I

have a lot of these types of shirts oh thank you for the compliment oh I'm

going to roll my head is swelling with pride as long as that's all it's

swelling where it will be okay what do you think about Dolce and Gabbana yes if

you like them why not yes it expensive I don't know we don't follow style or

trends do we I mean for example look at me I'm wearing adidas this isn't really

high-end chic really we I spend very little on clothes I I like to buy nice

quality clothes and then keep them and wear them for a long time I bet this

t-shirt I bet this is six seven years old I haven't even ironed it I mean I

hadn't even a high in the collar to be messy it looks very messy yes you're

more sporty tonight and I am more casual yes I think so I think that would be

fair to say anyway it's tempest 11 to be honest III

think we will end it there because it's been a very long day you know some of

these medicines mister do I have all my hay fever medicine here I've been really

suffering today I've been sneezing for for most of the night

so on Sunday we will come back and we will look at some more of these new

words because it's quite interesting to see new words added to the oxford

english dictionary so we'll we'll have a look at some more of those on sunday and

also on sunday what is the strangest thing that you've ever found when you've

been walking around so maybe outside you're walking around and then you find

something and you go well that's strange I didn't expect to see that so on Sunday

we'll be talking about that also when is when is the the right time to start

talking about Christmas it does seem very strange to be mentioning that word

at this time of year but recently on television there have been some

advertisements and also on the internet talking about Christmas can you believe

it I agree Pedro look after your clothes

and Christmas no we don't talk about Christmas you know what I'm thinking I

think I think we should have two separate live streams I think Steve

should be doing his own live stream talking about clothes and and the fact

that he never irons his shirts i buy non iron shirts for work and also non I

insured they work wash them hang them up on a on a clothes hanger you don't have

to wine them yes those aren't those are your smart shirts for work aren't they

just my standard white shirts for work you know where the tie I never ironed

them because I buy non iron shirts and they're very good as long as you take

them straight out of the washing machine don't spin them too much and put them on

a hanger put them on a clothes hanger hang them

up all the creases will be gone and I mean they don't look quite as good as a

fully iron shirt but they're good enough for work as you know I hate ironing you

never iron anything well thank you yes I've dwell as I just explained

I hate ironing that's why I don't there's a subject to talk about on

Sunday what do you iron what do people is oh wow

I'm sure people will be queuing I hope YouTube has enough bandwidth okay and I

just can I just warn the internet they think that the wires the cables on the

internet might melt on Sunday because of all the people trying to watch as talked

about what do you normally I in thank you iron shirts do you iron

underwear what do you I'm jeans some people says Jeff do Christmas in July

now if you count Eid as as well Eid is just being celebrated now is it

so that's a kind of equivalent celebration to Christmas so I think yes

Muslims have been celebrating Eid which is equivalent I would say to Christmas

obviously it's not Christmas but its equivalent in terms of its significance

in the religious festival no need to look like that I'm not saying anything

on that note not saying anything wrong know it and say you were it was a

steamer jameelah uses a steamer we've seen those

on ideal world Oh instead of an eye on a steamer yes fantastic well that's really

getting interesting now we're talking about ironing steamers or the oh I'm

really interested now Asti if you steam your clothes you bring you bring

something down on top of another thing and it's very hot and then all the steam

comes out but but that's very messy very so I think you can earn things very

quickly you don't have to run and I know you just pull the lid down back up and

it's there it is I can't believe that we will spending

time talking about ironing Pedro washes his hands by hand washes his clothes by

iiiiii I suppose most people wash their hands by hand how do you how do you get

the water out of them Pedro how do you get that how do you get the water out of

your clothes you wring them but don't they get creased well you just hang them

up afterwards maybe maybe outside what this I'm leaning against Eva my legs are

aching in my nose is hurting so I'm leaning against Steve now this is how

this is how bad things are tonight well I'm going now

right I might actually delete this because it might be with the worst

lifestream I've ever done I don't think so I think it's been very interesting

interesting subject oh look anything I say Pedro agrees with Oh get a room it's

I think we're going I think mr. Duncan's had enough I have had enough to be

honest I'm not feeling very well so I'm gonna put my feet up now and have some

chocolate Sergio doesn't mind cotton clothes but I

thought cotton clothes were the ones that needed the most ironing because

they tend to crease very much there we go I'm going to say goodbye to everybody

and you iron yourself your skin maybe when you get older you have to iron your

skin so you can I in it look so lovely again yeah mm-hmm you can iron your

wrinkles thanks not that we've got any yes I said Nicole was right yes that is

exactly what I just said that's amazing so yes Pedro says I I

iron just my best shirts and all tidy not everything good idea

do you like skinny jeans yes I have a pair of

skinny jeans don't I you do I don't like them I find them uncomfortable I have I

have skinny jeans and they show off my lovely slim legs lovely really

apparently I won't get them on because I've got big calves anyway so I'll go

and then you can wrap up yes so bye bye to everybody

oh and special adios to Pedro and see you all on Sunday okay see why there's

Steve Steve's gone he's been gone for years if you want my opinion so I'm back

on Sunday thanks a lot for joining me tonight I wasn't a hundred percent well

because of my stupid hay fever but I'm going now and I will see you on Sunday

hopefully feeling much better than I do today we'll be looking at one or two

things including new words will continue that I hope it's not too boring for you

and also we'll be talking about the strangest thing that you've ever found

and maybe we might have another look at the spiders as well if you want to have

a look at the spiders we might have another look at them hmm then again
