"You're Getting On My Nerves" - English Addict eXtra - LIVE Lesson - Learn words for being annoyed

How lovely it is to see you

at the end of the week.

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your calendar.

Yes, we are here together and it is a rather strange

day here in England we have wind, we have sunshine,

and also we have lots of pretty colours of nature

as well to enjoy today. Hi.

Here we go. Yes, it is. English addict.

Something slightly different today, you may notice,

because, well,

we're not normally on on this particular day,

but we are today coming to you live from the birthplace of the English language,

which just happens to be, oh, my goodness,

it's England.

It's something very strange is happening.

I hope you can see me all right, because I think maybe there might be

a little problem with the live stream.

Let's see, shall we?

I hope it is working all right.

If it isn't.

Well, I might be in big trouble.

Oh, no, we are. Okay.

Something very strange just happened, you see, to one of my devices.

Hi, everybody. This is Mr.

Duncan in England. How are you today?

Are you okay?

I hope so. Are you feeling happy?

Do you have one of these on your face at the moment?

I hope you do, because, yes,

we get to do this all over again.

Not only the live stream, but also life itself.

We get to enjoy another day of this.

My name is Mr. Duncan.

I. I am a person who sometimes appears on YouTube.

I pop up and you might describe me as one of those.

A lot of people say that I am one of those, an English addict.

I like English very much, and I have a feeling

the reason why you are here today is because you like English as well.

Or maybe you just like watching me.

It is true

that a lot of people do find me slightly annoying.

Can you believe that there are people out there who say that Mr.

Duncan is really annoying?

I can't stand that guy.

I know you as shocked as I am, to be honest.

Talking of which, we are discussing

annoying things today.

Many annoying things around.

Maybe something that you find irritating

something that makes you feel annoyed.

Some things it is annoying is a thing

that makes you feel annoyed.

So the annoyance is the thing

that is causing you to feel annoyed.

And we might also say that that thing is annoying.

All of that coming up later on

and I hope you will stay with me as well.

Yes, it is a little bit different because we are doing this

on a day where we don't normally come together.

And there is a reason for that because I am not with you on Sunday.

Normally I am with you every Sunday and Wednesday,

but this week I'm not.

So I will not be with you on Sunday.

This Sunday coming there will be no English addict,

but at least we can enjoy each other's company today because it is the end of the week.

Yes, it's Friday.

It is Friday

and we are here together.

I hope you are feeling good.

I suppose we should be feeling good today

because it is the end of the week for many people.

The weekend is just around the corner

and then we have at least two days to enjoy ourselves.

Anything planned for you this weekend?

Anything interesting happening?

Maybe we will see what happens

over the next couple of days.

And you know what it's like.

Life can be unpredictable.

You have no idea what is around the corner.

Everything looking lovely outside at the moment.

There it is. That is one of the plants in the garden.

And you can see there are lots of bees

buzzing around this particular plant.

So this plant is called a dung Kilis or Cardon?

Kilis.

And if you look closely, you can see there are some buzzing bees.

They are taking the pollen

and also the nectar from the plants.

And a few days ago, there were so many bees

buzzing around on this particular plant.

It was a very unusual sight, to say the least.

You can see that the sun is out.

We do have some sunshine today.

In fact, if we look at the other camera angle,

you can see it is rather nice today.

So there it is, some lovely fluffy white clouds

and also some blue sky and everything looking rather

nice today, even though over the past couple of days we've had a lot of rain,

but things have settled down

and everything is not too bad.

A cool day today.

A little cool.

It is only 19 Celsius, although it does feel rather nice

compared to what we had a few days ago

when it was very, very hot.

Hello to the live chat.

I must not forget you because without your cooperation,

I wouldn't be

here because I would have no one to talk to.

So hello to the live chat.

Hello.

Also to I am not sure who was on today first

because I will just check.

I'm not sure.

Oh, valid ten.

We also have Beatrix.

Hello, Beatrice, nice to see you here.

We have Mika.

I always get excited when we have new people on the live chat.

So welcome to you.

We also have Anna.

Hello, Anna.

Nice to see you on the live stream as well.

A little different today because I'm not normally here on Friday,

but I am here today.

Did you know you might not know this, but when I first started doing my livestreams,

I would always do them on Friday.

Who remembers that way?

Back in 2006, when I started doing my livestreams, I used to do them

every Friday at 1:00

UK time for around about five or six months.

And then I changed the time because I realised it might be a better idea

to do my livestreams on Sunday

when there are more people around.

So that's the reason why I changed. But yes, it's true.

When I first started doing my livestreams,

I actually did them on a Friday, but then I stopped.

Hello. Also to my roots.

Nice to see you here today. Hello, Miguel.

Who says thank you, Mr.

Duncan, for coming on live today?

It is like a big, amazing surprise for us and a great start to the weekend.

Thank you very much for your lovely compliment.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

We also have,

you know, what's coming next.

A big welcome to Luis Menendez

is here today.

Hello, Lewis. Thank you for joining us again.

And I hope you have had a good week where you are.

We also have

who else is here?

Hams.

Amin is here as well.

You have just arrived at the right time

because we are talking about a few things today.

We will be looking outside as well.

Hello, Balram.

Balram says hello as well.

Oh, quite a few people joining in already on the live chat.

Thank you very much.

Thank you also for your lovely compliments about my shirt.

You can see here it says on my shirt,

I am an English addict.

Are you?

That's what it says.

For those wondering.

And you might be able to purchase these soon.

You might.

I'm just

trying to sort things out with that, to be honest.

Hello, Irene.

Hello. Also to.

Hello.

Hello, Mika.

Mika says my husband is watching my neighbour

my neighbour

Totoro on TV now besides me.

Oh, I see.

So are you watching me alone or are you watching me with someone else?

Interesting.

Tatyana Hello?

Tatiana Nice to see you here today as well.

So many people joining in. I never know.

I'm never sure how many people are actually going to join me

when I do my unusual

live streams at different times.

So I'm always interested to find out how many people actually join me.

Hello. Also, Kristina again. Hello.

Nice to see you back here as well.

I have received some lovely photographs over the past few days.

Can I say a big thank you to Irene?

Hello, Irene. For your lovely dog.

You sent me a beautiful photograph of your little doggy.

Always in that lovely.

It's very small.

It looks like a small dog.

But then I think it might be a puppy.

Is it a young dog?

A baby dog?

Maybe so.

This is Irene's dog.

And its name is.

Oh, it's a she, by the way.

It's a lady dog.

Nina.

Nina.

Hello, Nina.

Is your dog watching as well?

A big reference

to you, Nina.

And also thank you to Irene for sending the photograph.

We also have another picture.

Oh, yes.

Now, this is more like it.

Food.

We are talking food now.

This is from Claudia.

And as you know, I always like to ask Claudia

what she is cooking in her pot.

And this was a meal that Claudia was making on, I think it was on Wednesday,

spring. It's

interesting.

I like sprouts also.

Onions, fried onions and carrots as well.

And apparently also lots and lots of garlic.

I do like garlic on my food.

I know I mentioned this all the time.

Another photograph from Claudia.

Now, this is the fish that we were talking about the other day.

Do you remember we were talking about what Claudia was making

and you were making some fish, a certain type

of fish called hake.

Now, I'm going to be honest with you, I don't think I've ever tried

eating hake before.

However, there it is.

That's what it looks like. I will be honest with you.

It does remind me a little bit of cod.

You are doing one of two things now.

You are either agreeing with me

or you are now

shouting at your screen.

So I think this looks like cod.

What do you think?

I wonder what it tastes like.

So there it is. Hake.

Thank you very much, Claudia, for sending those photographs in to me.

And as a way of keeping my appetite

going as well, I have to say, I do feel a little hungry.

I'm hungry today because all I've eaten today.

This is not a lie.

All I've had today is one piece of toast.

And I know, I know I am always being told off.

I am always being scolded

for not eating enough food.

But yes, all I've had today is a little piece of toast, so I am feeling quite hungry.

Thank you very much for that.

We also have who else is here today?

I like to say hello to everyone.

MOHSIN Hello.

Mohsin Welcome back.

Nice to see you all here on Friday.

It feels very strange.

So this is a slightly shorter one.

It isn't going to be for 2 hours.

Some of you might be pleased to hear that.

Some of you might be very pleased to find out

that I'm not here for 2 hours today.

Here is.

Well, here are some interesting expressions

using the colour green and red.

And I thought it would be interesting to show these expressions to you.

So first of all, this particular phrase

or sentence is using the colour green.

You might give the green light,

which is a very interesting phrase.

I'm sure you may have you may have heard of this before in the past

when you agree on something

or maybe if you give permission for something to happen or go ahead,

we often say that you give the green light

you are saying or you are giving permission.

You are allowing something to go ahead.

You give it the green light.

So quite often if you give someone the green light,

it means you are giving them permission.

You are allowing them to do a particular thing

to green light something as well.

So another expression is green light.

A particular thing.

Again, that means something has been approved.

You have given permission for something to happen.

So you might give the green light to a building project.

You give the green light to planning permission

or you allow planning or building to take place.

You give the green light you are giving

the go ahead to something.

Another colour that we sometimes use in phrases is red.

We might say that something is a red flag.

Now quite often when we think of a red flag,

we often think of warning or danger.

So when we say that something is a red flag,

it means something that we should be

worried about or cautious about.

Maybe we should be very wary

or aware of that particular thing.

So when we talk about something as a red flag,

we are saying that that thing might be dangerous, it might cause harm,

or maybe you are approaching a situation

or maybe a person is behaving in a very strange way,

or maybe they appear to be dangerous.

You can say that something is a red flag

and then we have another one using red.

We might say that something is a red light.

Now, when we think about driving on the road, we often

think of red as the colour of danger.

But also it is the colour that is used when you want to say stop,

when you come

to the end of a road or a junction,

you have to wait and quite often there are traffic lights.

So when the traffic lights turn red, it means stop.

Don't go any further, you have to wait.

So when something is a red light,

it means something is a warning.

Something is acting as a warning that something might be happening.

Something negative, something bad, a thing in the future

might be dangerous, or it might also be a problem.

Something is a red light.

You are saying that that thing might cause harm.

It might be dangerous.

I always like to show you new sentences and new words

because that is the reason why we are here doing this.

A quick break and then we are back today.

We are looking at things that are annoying.

Maybe today you can think about all of the things in your life

that are annoying or maybe there is something that irritates

or annoys you.

Maybe that person or that thing

is me.

I hope not.

Sadly, Mr. Steve is not here today and he won't be here on Sunday,

come to think of it, nor will I.

We are having a little break on Sunday, but don't worry, we are back next week.

Everything will be back to normal.

I hope.

Deep, deep, deep.

It is Friday.

It is Friday.

It feels very strange to be here on Friday, but we are here on Friday.

And guess what?

Guess what? So are you.

You're also here on Friday as well.

I don't want to end the week on a miserable,

sad note, but we are talking about annoying things today.

Words and expressions connected to annoying things.

One thing I just noticed, Mr.

Steve, in the video that we just saw was cutting his grass.

The strange thing is this year, Steve has hardly

cut the grass because the weather has been so extreme with the heat.

And also we've had so little rain, almost no rain.

And poor Mr.

Steve's grass at the moment is not looking very healthy.

I will be honest with you.

It's not looking very good at all,

although we do need a lot of rain.

Most of the rain is not actually staying on the ground.

So the strange thing about rain sometimes when you

you think that it will make a problem

better or ease a problem.

Quite often rain can make things much worse.

For example, dry ground rain perfect.

Unfortunately, it isn't because the rain will not soak into the ground.

It will not go into the ground.

So it can be a little awkward when you get rain

after a dry spell of weather.

And that's what's happening here at the moment.

So even though we've had a lot of rain over the past

couple of days, it doesn't seem to be making the problem any better.

It is not making the problem go away.

We still have a lot of dry land

and everyone is still feeling feeling

the pain of the hot weather that we had.

So Pat is here.

Hello, Sue Cat, how nice to see you here as well.

Very nice to see you here.

We also have teak shore as well.

Hello, Mr.

Duncan and everyone here.

Hello, Teak Sha.

Nice to see you back here as well on the live chat. Wow.

So many people are watching right now.

Should I feel nervous

that so many people are hanging on

to my every word? Wow,

so much pressure.

So much pressure indeed.

So today we are looking at things,

words and expressions that might describe

something that is annoying.

For example, annoying things, annoying

habits, things that can be annoying.

So let's have a quick look at some of the words.

Well, first of all, we might say that

an annoying thing disturbs something that is annoying.

Might break your concentration.

It might it might break your your peace and relaxation.

Something annoying is a thing

that is bothering you and an annoying thing.

For example, you might say that car alarm is annoying.

Oui, oui.

We re really, really, really, really,

really, really, really, really.

How annoying is that?

That car alarm is annoying.

Your loud music is annoying.

I would imagine that one of the most common complaints that people have about their neighbours

will be and is noise.

I think so.

Various types of noise.

Maybe your friend or maybe somebody living nearby.

Someone you know, their car alarm

keeps sounding, it keeps going off and making a lot of noise.

We might also be annoyed about a person's loud music.

Your loud music is annoying.

Some people like to play their music loud.

They like to open their windows so all the neighbours can hear

the music.

The word annoy can also be used to mean,

bother or pester.

I like that word pester.

If you pester someone you pester.

It means you are constantly annoying them

or you are bothering them, or you keep disturbing them.

You pester that person.

Maybe you keep asking someone for a favour,

or maybe you keep wanting to call them on the telephone.

You pester them, you won't leave that person alone.

And it can be quite annoying.

You might say that you annoy me.

Why do you keep annoying me?

A person who will not leave you alone?

They keep wanting to talk to you.

Or maybe if you are in a hurry, maybe you see them in the street

and they want to talk.

But you are in a hurry.

It can be rather annoying.

A thing you wish would stop

is annoying.

So maybe something that is happening or something that you can hear, something

that is bothering you is annoying.

A thing you wish would stop is annoying.

His life is very annoying.

Some people make a very strange sound when they laugh.

What about you?

Do you have a nice life or is your life annoying?

Does it annoy people?

So maybe a person might wish that another one

or another person they know would stop laughing

because the sound that they make is annoying.

A bad habit.

Oh yes. This is the one.

This is the thing that can cause all sorts of problems.

A bad habit or characteristic

is annoying.

Maybe a bad habit that a person has.

We can think of many bad habits.

I'm sure we can think of many of them, for example.

Well, here's a good one.

People who bite their nails,

I suppose it's not it's not a bad thing.

But when you see someone doing it, it can be a little annoying, maybe a bad habit

or a characteristic that a person keeps, and maybe you find it annoying.

Maybe you find it something that is irritating.

Do you have to?

Do you have to keep biting your nails?

She has this annoying habit

of biting her fingernails.

Some people do that when they are feeling anxious or maybe nervous about something.

Some people will bite their nails

when they are bored and they have nothing else to do.

Unfortunately, if you have

to watch someone biting their nails, it is not much fun.

Another habit

that can be very annoying and not very nice to look at

is when a person picks their nose.

We all do it.

I know sometimes I do

normally when I think that there is no one around.

We all like to have a little forage.

We all like to explore our little snot

caves from time to time,

even though it is quite a disgusting thing to do.

So a bad habit can also be something such as biting your nails,

picking your nose.

She has this annoying habit of picking her.

Her nose?

Yes. Even women.

Ladies, girls, they sometimes pick their nose.

We often think that

that particular habit is a male thing.

But I think women I think women can pick their noses.

I'm sure it happens

sometimes.

Another annoying thing,

and I'm sure you will all appreciate

how annoying this is if you are on an aeroplane

and a child is sitting behind you,

but they keep kicking the back of your seat

if you are taking a very long flight,

if you are going on a long flight,

maybe five or 6 hours,

maybe even ten or 12 hours,

and there is a child behind you and they are noisy

and they keep kicking the back of your seat.

That can be annoying.

I would I would say the worst thing

the worst thing on an aeroplane

besides people who want to keep talking all the time and they won't shut up.

A crying baby.

A baby crying.

Have you ever been on a flight where there was a young baby

and it was getting really angry because babies do not like flying.

You might not realise, but the air pressure inside

an aeroplane can actually cause a baby's ears

to to well, to become painful inside.

So it can cause discomfort and pain

for very small children and babies.

Oh, here is another one.

This is this is for the ladies.

All of the ladies watching

men have a very annoying habit.

Do you know what that habit is?

Yes, we have an annoying habit.

Some men,

not all men.

But if you are in a relationship, if you have a boyfriend or husband,

you will know that quite often the man will leave

the toilet seat up.

It's very annoying.

It's very annoying.

But there is a reason for that.

You see, men are actually being very kind and considerate it

because they they put the toilet seat up

so the we

we will not go on the seat,

you see.

So in fact they are doing it for a nice reason.

I know sometimes it might be annoying, but yeah, that's why men do it.

So we always put the toilet seat up

when we go for

a number one.

So then the seat will stay clean.

The only problem is quite often we will forget to put the seat back down again

afterwards, and that can cause quite a lot

of annoyance in relationships.

It really can.

So a bad habit or a characteristic can be annoying

to repeat the same thing many times can be annoying.

Maybe you are learning English.

A lot of people do complain about having to repeat things,

but it is a good part and a useful thing to do

when you are learning a second language.

Maybe you are singing a song, maybe

you belong to a choral group

and you have to keep singing the same piece

of music over and over again.

It might begin to become annoying.

So if you have to repeat something again and again,

another thing that can be annoying is when when a person

cannot hear

what you're saying, even though you are very close to them.

So maybe again, in relationships, quite often

the husband or the wife, the girlfriend or boyfriend

might say something to their partner.

And the partner keeps saying, what, what,

what?

Over time that can become quite annoying.

So you do find in relationships

at least one person in the relationship keeps?

Well, it's almost as if they've lost their hearing because they keep saying what

what, even though you're right next to them.

Can I just say Mr.

Steve does that sometimes I might be sitting next to Mr.

Steve and I will say something to him

and then he says, What?

And I think, how can you not hear

what I'm saying?

So I suppose that can be a little bit annoying as well.

Annoying things.

That's what we're talking about today.

A feeling that won't go away can annoy you.

Maybe you have pain in your body.

Maybe you have injured yourself, maybe you have injured

your leg or your arm, and now you are in pain.

You are feeling discuss.

It's a feeling that won't go away can annoy you.

This toothache is so annoying something annoying

pain probably.

I would say that pain is the worst thing that anyone can suffer.

If you are feeling pain, then

you will become quite annoyed

very quickly.

Toothache. Oh,

please don't get me started.

I'm not going to talk about teeth.

Not today.

An irritating thing is annoying.

A lot of people say, can you believe it?

A lot of people say that I am annoying. I don't know why.

Maybe it's because I always have a smile on my face.

You often find

people who are happy

might also be a little bit annoying.

I don't know why, but yes, some people do say that I am annoying.

Maybe it's my personality. I don't know.

An irritating thing is annoying.

I wish I really do wish.

You know what's coming.

I really do wish

that dog would stop barking

all the time.

It is annoying.

It is annoying as how

I wish that dog would stop barking.

It is annoying as hell.

I'm sure we've all been in this situation in the past.

We've all been in this position where maybe a neighbour,

someone who lives nearby, has a dog that will not stop barking.

Maybe during the night,

maybe during the day it can be irritating.

So something that is irritating is annoying.

Maybe you can feel discomfort or pain,

or maybe you just feel annoyed by something

annoying.

Well, we can say that something that is annoying

gets on your nerves.

If something gets on your nerves, it means it is causing annoyance.

It is making you feel quite annoyed.

Claudia

I often ask what?

What quite often when I don't understand something.

But I understand you very well.

Thank you, Claudia.

That's very kind of you.

A little break so I can clear my throat, because I think

I am about to start coughing my head off,

which is quite annoying.

I'm a big boy now

we're back.

I just had a lovely

drink of water.

I just had a lovely drink of refreshing water.

And now my throat is much better.

Thank you very much.

It happens sometimes, especially when you are talking

for a long period and maybe your throat becomes dry.

So that is what was happening there.

We are looking at

annoying thing today.

We are taking a look at things that can be irritating

or annoying.

So we just looked at things that can be irritating.

Also something that is annoying

gets on your nerves,

maybe something that is happening around you that you don't like.

It can be annoying.

We can say that it gets on your nerves.

Your complaining is starting to get on my nerves

all this talk of politics really gets on my nerves.

There are many people who do not like talking about politics,

although it would appear that these days

politics is a hot topic.

But many people don't like talking about it because they find

that it can cause arguments,

or maybe they just don't want to hear about it.

So something that is annoying, we can say that it gets on your nerves.

The word annoy can also mean or be used to express upset.

If you irritate

someone, if you wind up someone,

you are annoying them.

You are making them feel annoyed, upset, irritated.

You are winding them up.

So maybe a person who is becoming annoyed by something,

maybe they start to feel angry inside.

When you feel annoyed, it is a strong

emotional response to something that's

you don't like.

You are starting to upset me.

His noise is slurping.

Yeah.

You is irritating me.

Please don't mind me up.

If you whined someone up it means you are doing something

that is annoying that person.

You are winding them up

you are making them feel angry.

Something offensive or disgusting can annoy you.

As we mentioned earlier, there are many bad habits that people can have.

There are habits that people can have.

Sometimes they don't realise they are doing it

and this is one thing I always find fascinating

about bad habits.

You will be amazed how many people don't even realise that they are doing it.

Why do you have to pick your nose?

It is so annoying.

It's annoying how you eat with your mouth open.

We all know someone, especially children.

Quite often children will eat their food with their mouth open.

Na na na na.

Yeah, it's quite annoying,

but it's even more annoying when an adult is doing it.

When an adult a grown up, is eating with their mouth full hold

and then they open their mouth whilst they are chewing.

It can be quite annoying and a little bit disgusting.

An annoying thing is generally bad,

so a bad thing, something that is happening that is bad

quite often can also be annoying.

You have this annoying habit of

tapping your feet

or maybe you tap your fingers

like that.

So a person who is doing something they don't even realise that they are doing

can be annoying, a bad habit

or something that someone doesn't even realise that they are doing.

You have this annoying habit of tapping your feet

you have this annoying habit of

tapping your fingers as well.

So something that a person is doing and maybe they don't even realise

it can be very annoying.

Annoyance is often expressed in anger,

so when you become annoyed by something,

if something annoys you,

you will feel angry.

Anger is the feeling of annoyance, something that is annoying you,

something that is getting on your nerves is making you feel angry.

I can't stand the way you chew your food.

Stop following me for goodness sake,

shut that dog up.

I like the last one.

Many neighbours will say that if their next door

neighbour has a dog that keeps barking all the time,

for goodness sake,

shut that dog up.

Maybe someone is following you around the street and they keep wanting to talk to you

Stop following me

You are showing that you are annoyed.

Maybe you have to sit at the dining table every night with your husband

and he is chewing his food and he's making a lot of noise at the same time.

I can't stand the way you chew your food.

Of course, there is

a bright side to all of this.

It is not all doom and gloom.

Everyone and I mean everyone.

Every person on the planet can be annoying at times.

So even if you are in a relationship, even if you are married to someone,

you might find that that person is annoying.

That person makes you feel annoyed from time to time.

Not always,

but sometimes.

Sometimes they make you feel annoyed,

yet they can be annoying.

So everyone, all people,

we all have something that is annoying

or can annoy another person.

So even if you are in a loving relationship, even if you are deeply in love with someone,

it is possible to annoy

each other. Mr.

Steve sometimes annoys me and

I know you don't believe this,

but sometimes I can be quite annoying.

I know you can't believe it.

You're shocked. So am I.

But it is true.

Apparently sometimes I can be a little bit annoying.

According to Mr.

Steve.

So I suppose I should finish by asking you, asking you the question

what annoys you?

Is there something that in your life,

in your daily life, annoys you?

Maybe something that gets on your nerves, something that annoys me.

I will I will start this off.

So you can have your own suggestion if you have something in your life

that is annoying you.

Something that annoys me is when I say I switch the television on

and I want to watch something entertaining, which these days is not easy to do

because most TV programmes are rubbish

to be honest, but they are always there.

Always seem to be commercials

on all the time.

So maybe you sit down and you watch a film and there is a film playing on TV

and you think, Oh good, I haven't seen this movie for a long time.

And then you get comfortable and you watch the movie

for around six or 7 minutes,

and then suddenly there's an advert, a commercial break,

and it seems to go on

forever, maybe three or 4 minutes,

commercials playing one after the other,

and you're waiting for your movie to come back on because you want to see the rest of it.

So I must admit, I do find commercials on television.

Television commercials can be rather annoying sometimes,

especially when there are lots of them, Maddalena says.

Selfish, and people that don't have respect for others annoy me.

Yes, I think they can.

And we do live in a world, you might say that the world we live in

can be a selfish place.

People can be selfish and heartless.

Maybe they are only thinking about themselves and not other people.

They can be self-centred, egotistical, perhaps.

Yes, I think that's a good one.

So I do think

there are many things that might annoy us, although I suppose it's fair

to say that most of those things will just pass you by,

so maybe you will feel annoyed for just a few moments, and then after that

it passes, it goes away, it fades.

However, some people find

many things annoying.

All I can say is their day.

Their average day must be absolutely awful,

Christine says.

When I try to watch a film on TV and someone is talking,

Oh, Christina, who is it?

Who are you talking about?

Who is the person who keeps annoying you

when you are trying to watch television?

There is, yes.

Uh, people who are who are false

and lie can also be annoying.

Yes. Well, when we think of the Internet, let's face it,

the Internet, this thing you are watching now

is full of

fake, false

and I suppose

deceptive people who are saying things or doing things

or pretending to be something that they are not.

The Internet is full of those, I suppose.

I suppose YouTube has quite a few people who pretend to be something,

but I would imagine one of the worst places is Instagram.

Instagram people are always talking about Instagram and they say, Oh, the people on there,

they are so fake, they pretend to have wonderful lives, but in reality they don't.

They are just pretending.

So yes, I think that is good, Palmira says. Mr.

Duncan, it is a good thing that you are off on Sunday because.

I am going to meet my school friends.

Good.

Well, I am glad that you've managed to find something to do because I won't be with you on Sunday.

I hope that does not annoy you.

I hope you don't feel irritated by that.

So just to remind you again, I am not with you on Sunday.

Sunday I am not here.

And the reason is because, well, other things are happening, to be honest with you.

A lot of things going on at the moment.

I might tell you what they are next week.

So I am going.

I hope you've enjoyed this past hour, 61 minutes.

I being with you.

I will go and I will see you again next Wednesday.

So the next time I'm on here.

Yes, I know. It's a long time.

You are going to say, Mr.

Duncan, that is very annoying.

I'm annoyed because you what?

You won't be here until next Wednesday.

It's too long.

But no, I have to do some other things this weekend

and next Wednesday I will be back with you from 2 p.m.

UK time and then after that everything will be back to normal

and hopefully it will stay that way.

We will see what happens.

So thanks for your company.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope this has been different.

It feels very strange to be with you on Friday, but

it also felt very good as well.

There was there wasn't a single moment where I felt annoyed.

I loved all of it.

Thanks for your company.

I will see you again next Wednesday.

I will mention that a couple of times.

So you know when I will be back

next Wednesday, not Sunday.

Next Wednesday. I will be back with you.

Thanks for your company.

I hope you've enjoyed this.

Thank you for your lovely comments today.

I will see you next week. Next Wednesday. This is Mr.

Duncan in the birthplace of English, saying thanks for watching.

See you again soon.

Just a few days.

And then we will be back together again, reunited.

And of course, until the next time we meet here.

You know what's coming next? Yes, you do

take care of yourself and enjoy your weekend.

And of course, I will miss you all...

ta ta for now.
