very welcome to join in

it's a beautiful day it's very cold it's only one degree at the moment outside

lights it is nice and warm hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England

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

I hope so here we go again it's another livestream for those who don't know what

this is maybe you are feeling a little bored on a Sunday and maybe you are just

thinking to yourself I think I will have a look on YouTube to see what's around

well this is one of the things that is normally around on Sunday live English

with English addict every Sunday Wednesday and Friday from 2

p.m. UK time oh yes three times a week you can help yourself to improve your

spoken English and also your listening English as well that's the reason why we

are here I suppose the first question should be what mood is the Queen of

England in today is she feeling happy or is she feeling a little grumpy so what

do you think do you think the Queen of England today is feeling happy or grumpy

happy or grumpy yeah what do you think so the Queen of England

what is her mood today I think I think her mood is going to be a little grumpy

I don't know why no particular reason but I would imagine the Queen of England

today is feeling a little bit Rumpy what about you how are you feeling

today how is your weak beam how has your weekend beam yes because we

are still in the weekend the weekend hasn't ended yet because it's Sunday

do you remember years ago do you remember years ago when you used to have

one of those old radio receivers not like nowadays when everything is digital

but in the olden days we used to have radio receivers and you had to tune them

in you had to tune them in you had to

you couldn't get the radio station clearly so you had to tune in your radio

set however nowadays of course we have lots of lovely digital technology we

were out in town yesterday having our usual Saturday meal and in the center of

much Wenlock there was a stall when we say stall we mean an area or something

that has been temporarily set up to sell something so maybe you have a market

stall so an area where something is sold however the place itself is only

temporary so it might disappear after a short

period of time it might only be there for a short time yesterday in the center

of much Wenlock they were selling one of my all-time favorite foods can you guess

what it is can you guess what my all-time favorite

food is and can you guess what mr. Steve bought yesterday for us to eat last

night oh my goodness can I just say it's something that is

delicious lovely nice not particularly healthy I'll be honest with you it's not

healthy food but it is something that I really love eating I really do

we have the live chat oh hello to the live chat hi there

live chat is now and running you are more than welcome to

send a message chat live you can share your love of the English language I have

a feeling that there are many English addicts here today so who is first on

the live chat Oh Molly Noah Molly Noah

or maybe it's mal Innova hello to you guess what you are first on today's live

chat

can you see how excited I'm feeling today I don't know why I'm in a good

mood maybe it's because if we have a look

outside look look outside today it is absolutely glorious it is sunny the sky

is blue everything is looking rather nice today and there is another view

that is looking out of my studio window right now over towards Shrewsbury and

you can see the Sun is out everything is looking rather nice it is I suppose you

would describe this as a crisp day crisp so it's cold

sunny however it doesn't really feel too unpleasant and it certainly looks nice

today so there is the view outside right now it is a bright and sunny Sunday and

I hope wherever you are your sunday is going nicely as well I really really do

we have lots of things coming today of course it around about half plus two

I will be tempting mr. Steve into the studio Oh would you like to see do you

want to have a look so here it is so here is the thing oh what a lovely sound

here is the thing that I'm going to be tempting Steve with today look at that

can you see what it is it is a chocolate brownie I happen to know that mr. Steve

loves chocolate brownies they are not very healthy but just like the other

thing that we get last night it is very delicious so that is what I will be

tempting mr. Steve into the studio with today because Steve is quite shy you

might not realize it but mr. Steve is quite a shy person especially when he's

sitting on the toilet

poor mr. Steve so there it is today's snack that I'm going to tempt

mr. Steve with but the big question is will he take the bait if you take the

bait it means you go towards the thing you go to take the thing that is being

put in front of you so quite often if you go fishing maybe you are one of

those people who likes to sit by the river bank fishing you might use bait to

catch the fish so there it is today's snack that I'm going to tempt mr. Steve

with but the big question is will Steve take the bait we will find out a little

bit later on also we have grammar lama ding dong yes even though mr. Steve is

coming on today we are still playing our game our new grammar game called grammar

Lama ding dong and today we are looking at these particular words the

differences between these words and I will be testing you on your knowledge of

these words later on with our brand-new quiz called grammar Lama ding dong so

all of that coming later on what else do I have to talk about oh I suppose I

suppose that you might also be talking about oh yes I know we are talking about

words and phrases that can be connected to having an accident dear I don't like

the sound of that so words and phrases that can be used can be used when you

are may be suffering from an injury maybe something that has hurt you maybe

something that is making you feel unwell maybe something that has happened

and unexpectedly so today we are talking about words and phrases connected to

having an accident I don't like the sound of that also later on yes we'll be

having a look at my all-time favorite food

the thing that yesterday I went into town and and mr. Steve treated me to

something very nice we'll be having a look at that later on as well so the

live chat is very busy oh hello everyone thank you for joining me today hello -

Julie hello Chris and also is Zeinab Zeinab thank you very much for your

concern about my mother my mum is still in hospital she's feeling better but she

still has a long way to go so we are hopefully we are all hoping that she

will be out of hospitals sometime next week however she still has a long way to

go I was there last week I went to visit my mum on Thursday and she's much better

much better we had a lovely chat if you were watching on Friday you will know

that I was talking all about this and it was lovely to see my mum chatting and

dare I say smiling let's just say my mother was looking a lot happier than

the Queen of England at the moment Vitas hello Vitesse watching in Lithuania nice

to see you here as well hello Martha in Poland Oh

tomorrow it is Martha's birthday so Martha in Poland just for you tomorrow

not today tomorrow it is Martha's birthday so can I send you all the best

happy birthday for tomorrow it's your birthday yes it is tomorrow it's your

birthday Wow have a great time I know that didn't

rhyme before anyone says mr. Duncan that poem did not rhyme I am very well aware

of that hello Anita Anita hello to you is it your first time here

hello my Simo Maria Maria Maria I'm saying hello to Maria Thank You Maria

Belarus series here as well Cecilia Cristina also franceska lots of people

are joining right now palmyra netra thank you also to real everyday English

hi mr. Duncan from Manchester it is foggy and wet in Manchester here it's

not too bad I must be honest with you it is lovely outside the weather is is

quite nice so there it is at the moment a live view looking out of my studio

window and it's looking rather nice outside I don't know what the weather is

like where you are because I'm not there at the moment some of you might say

thank goodness for that and what it's like living with mr. Duncan that is that

is what some people ask can I just say it's not easy

ask mr. Dermott ask mr. Steve later so when mr. Steve hopefully comes on here

later ask Steve what it's like living with me and I can guarantee he will give

you a very honest answer he will so happy birthday for tomorrow to Martha in

Poland Marilla is here hello Marilla also Luis Mendez watching in France once

again lots of news coming from Paris lots of things happening in France and

other parts of the world as well if there is anything happening in your

country at the moment and you want to share it with everyone else

please tell me I know that one or two people were celebrating Christmas

yesterday in fact some people celebrate but I think it's Epiphany

was it yesterday so for some people they were celebrating the Epiphany yesterday

and I think some people actually jump in the water where does this happen did you

do it did you jump in the water yesterday for epiphany I know certain

parts of the world have Christmas and all of the other festivals much later

than we do here in England hello also - Surjya hello sir Jaya nice

to see you here as well stack kunuk hello to you I like your name by the way

stack Kunak nice to see you here you are always welcome on the live chat

real everyday English says I went for a run this morning the floor was so

slippery with ice I hope you didn't fall over I hope you didn't have an accident

because that's what we're talking about later we are talking about words and

phrases connected to having an accident maybe something that might happen to you

without warning so when we have an accident something happens that we

weren't expecting and quite often the result is may be disasterous or even

fatal

I don't like that I don't like it at all so accidents words and phrases also

another thing I might ask Steve later do you ever worry about your health I think

as you get older you become more obsessed with your health in fact I know

for sure that mr. Steve and sometimes myself we worry a lot about our health

so we often think that we have maybe a serious illness or a serious disease I

always find things on my body

maybe I'm sharing too much information here but sometimes I find things on my

body maybe a spot or a little boil or maybe something that I wasn't expecting

to see and I get really worried about it I always think it's something really

serious but then a couple of days later it vanishes or maybe it goes pop and

then it's gone and then my worry subsides however you do sometimes get

aches and pains and maybe they last for two or three days and then you start

thinking too much about it you might be a person that could be described as a

hypochondriac look at the size of that word that it's a really big word it's so

big I can just about get it on the screen look how big it is that's a very

large word so a hypochondriac is a person who often worries about their

health they always think that there is something serious wrong with them and

can I just say that sometimes mr. Steve can be a bit of a hypochondriac and also

me as well but I think as you get older you start to become more concerned with

your health you start to think that every time you have a pain maybe in your

back or your shoulder or maybe you find a strange spot on your body

you always think the worst some people are hypochondriacs they really are hello

also to Massimo hello Massimo mr. Duncan what is a rabbit hutch a rabbit hutch is

the place where you keep a rabbit so if you have a pet rabbit you might keep it

in a little house and we call it a rabbit hutch nasiha hello sir

we are feeling pretty good love from Pakistan the other day I sent a big

hello to Pakistan so I'm going to do it again hello Pakistan if you would like a

big hello for your country let me know no problem it will be my pleasure

Cecilia Cecilia likes the word grumpy I think at the moment it would be fair to

say that the Queen of England might be a little bit grumpy lots of things

happening at the moment in the Queen's life and family so I

would imagine at the moment the Queen of England is feeling a little bit a little

bit grumpy I think so I really really think so I do I really think so

that's what I think hello also to Sally Sally down by the alley she's looking

for a place to go

grandma Lama dingdong is coming later don't worry it will be here our new quiz

where I test you all about and on your grammar and that's what we're looking at

today the differences between these words and I will be testing your

knowledge of the use of these words a little bit later on and I think today we

might have Steve also joining in would that be good maybe not

Palmyra Thank You Palmero for saying hello hello to the old and new

classmates I have a strange feeling that there are lots of people here who don't

normally watch so yes we might have a lot of new viewers here today you

exciting accent hello accent I haven't seen you here for a long time in Spain

mr. Duncan since Spain in the work right now I'm not sure what that means in

Spain are you at work I think that's what accent is saying so at the moment a

lot of people are working on Sunday and this is something that it's it's very

easy to forget that there are a lot of people who actually work on Sunday

including me look I'm here now having to work I have no choice Tomic is a little

bit angry with me I find it quite disrespectful that you are late as usual

nevertheless I hope you are well and your lovely mum is even better I was a

little bit late today and the reason why I was late today

I always have an excuse and today's excuse was because I wasn't ready I

still had my my morning clothes on so it's so this morning I always wear

something different when I get out of bed I normally have a t-shirt so or

something like that but of course I forgot to change into my lovely English

addict clothes so that's why I was slightly

late Thank You Tomic my mum is feeling better she's still in hospital

unfortunately but I have been to see her and as you can imagine she always has a

big smile on her face when she sees me maybe Cristina I think the queen is very

relaxed because they said on TV that the leave from the couple took place

serenely oh I see so one of the things happening at the moment with the British

royal family mmm Harry and Megan have decided to go

somewhere else they don't want to be royalty anymore maybe well maybe I could

take their place maybe Steve and me maybe we could take their place

I would I would love to be a member of the royal family I think I would be

really good Pat you do you think for step down of Megan and Harry from the

royal titles is good from my point of view I couldn't care less

I'll be honest with you I really couldn't care less although if they want

to give me a refund of some of the money that I given them over the years in tax

then that would be very nice so that's the only thing I'm thinking about so

Harry and Megan if you could please send some of that money to me that you want

to give back to the to the people of the UK I would be very pleased if you could

do that just you know send it to me maybe just put it through my door you

don't have to pop around and say hello just put it through my letterbox hello

Chris hello Tomic hello Anna tea cakes is your favorite food tea cakes I like

that that's a very good very good idea however it isn't I am going to reveal to

you now what my favorite food is and it happens to be the thing that

Steve bought yesterday as well Steve bought some of it in town yesterday here

it is here is an excerpt from one of my full

English lessons where I talk all about one of my all-time favorite foods

talking of food we will also be tempting mr. Steve into the studio as well if you

are a regular viewer then you will know that I love food

can you guess what my most favorite snack is the thing I like to nibble on

the most the one food I often get a craving for okay I will tell you my most

favorite snack is cheese yes it is true I love to nibble on cheese there are

many reasons why I love cheese firstly there are so many varieties so many

flavors of cheese from mild to extra mature cheese's can vary in shape and

color too some are round and white while others

can be square in red some cheese's have a strong odor cheese is made from the

milk of a cow or goat each type of cheese has its own name this name

normally relates to where it was originally produced for example cheddar

cheese was first made in cheddar Somerset which is in the UK red

Leicester cheese was first made in Leicestershire and is red in color one

of the smelliest cheese's must be the variety known as stinking bishop this

cheese is also produced here in the UK in the county of

Gloucestershire each country has its own famous cheese France has its camembert

cheese Greece has its feta cheese which is made from goat's milk Italy has its

parmesan cheese which is normally grated and sprinkled on to pasta or you could

try some mozzarella cheese which is used to make pizza topping

there are many hundreds of varieties of cheese around the world all of which I

would love to try but sadly I cannot as I would put on weight and get very very

fat when people take photographs of their friends and family they normally

ask the subjects to say cheese as it encourages everyone being photographed

to smile cheese I must say all this talk of cheese is making me feel quite hungry

so there it was an excerpt from what my full English lessons and also a very

good opportunity to tell you all about my favorite food oh I could just eat

some cheese right now

oh I've got some cheese here can you see so this is some of the cheese that Steve

bought yesterday it is absolutely delicious this particular one is Wensley

Dale with cranberries one of my all-time favorite cheese's so for those asking

mr. Duncan what type of cheese do you like this is one of my all-time

favorites Wensley Dale which is a very creamy very milky cheese with

cranberries inside so they they have actually added cranberries to the cheese

and this one is very delicious what is your favorite cheese which cheese do you

like here he comes then hopefully hopefully we will be able to get him

into the studio it is time now to tempt mr. Steve and today this is what we have

today can you see it we have a lovely piece of chocolate brownie and this is a

sponge that contains a lot of cocoa and also pieces of chocolate as well and

it's very very sweet so this is what I'm going to tempt mr. Steve with the big

question of course is will mr. Steve take the bait so now I will go over to

the other side of the studio and I will leave this here for Steve but the big

question is will he take the bait so there it is just give me a moment as I

move across and everyone be very quiet because Steve is easily startled he is

because he's so shy wait let's let's do it now Shh

of course again just hope we've got him everybody we've caught mister steering

in we've caught him we've tempted me onto the live stream mr. Duncan would

you like a drink of water Meads about these are very nice what's

that a brownie a chocolate brownie oh well I hope I happen to know that you

like chocolate brownies so that's what we do you see we like to tempt you we

like to we like to seduce mr. Steve on to the live stream Oh another one if you

want another one I've only got one you can have you can have a piece of cheese

I was just talking about this is it for later

hello everyone and I got chocolate around my lips thank you I've been

working very hard with Duncan while you've been you don't have to shout

lazing around on this live stream I'm not being lazy I tried to push me no

it's just it's just blocking I'm blocking the camera its technical I have

been to remember we had to have another load of logs delivered logs for the fire

because we've used up we usually only use one load of logs a year I can smell

I can smell the fire now but we ran out of them because we've had it on a lot

more this winter this is true so we had another half a load delivered probably

about 150 logs and I have mr. Duncan just threw them in

the garage or garage if you're American okay and I have just put them all into

the lock store mr. Duncan well then I'll tell you it's hard work my back is

aching what what do you want a medal we could of course the problem is

burning logs on a log burner these days is considered to be a little earner

environmentally friendly yes it's funny because they said that back in the 70s

and 80s okay nineteen seventies nineteen eighties

that you couldn't burn any fossil fuels on an open fire okay in your house

because it contributed to much to air pollution and of course it's right we

used to have very bad air pollution particularly in London in the fifties

thousands of people used to die every year further back than that

yes that's over there was a particularly bad episode in the late fifties yes when

in one year something like 10,000 people died of respiratory problems caused by

all the smokes from coal fire in factories power stations so we had the

the Clean Air Act which came into force I think towards the end of the fifties

1950s okay but now of course suddenly about far about ten years ago 15 years

ago there suddenly said that you could use log burners now because there are a

new generation of log burners that are supposed to be a lot cleaner okay and

don't put so many particulates particulates this is great you know if

you're gonna use these big words could you write them down into the atmosphere

but of course everybody started putting them because it's very fashionable to

have a log fire again well the thing is wait wait there that but the thing is

Steve having a log burner means that you are self-sufficient with your heating so

imagine if you you had an electric heater and then you lost your power you

lost the electricity or you had gas heating and then the gas went off so if

you have logs to burn then I suppose you always have some guaranteed heat however

however a lot of people think that these days you should not be burning logs in

fact wait there Steve I'm just about to do something you have to sometimes let

me do things because we have a format I know one person who might be very

annoyed about what about the thing we're talking about burning logs turning logs

your neighbors you know who let me do something wait there Steve I'm gonna do

it again listen listen don't say anything there is one person who might

be very annoyed at as burning logs how dare you Greta Greta is not gonna like

it well do you think she she wouldn't like

it wouldn't she see it as environmentally friendly burning

sustainable logs well comes from a Scandinavian country where they burn

lots of logs all their houses are made of wood Scandinavia doesn't she come

from a Scandinavian country this is your this is your oh I think she's isn't she

from Sweden something like that don't ask me you're you're telling us you're

telling you're telling the world this well I know I was asking you to see if

you knew so I in in Scandinavian countries they have a lot of houses

built out of out of the indigenous tree species so log cabins a carats of houses

made of logs I should imagine as long as that you were planting trees it's ok but

the problem is in towns you don't want lots of smoke because it's bad for

people's no well I don't think you want to smoke anywhere do you

well it's all right in the country because it's not gonna build up so much

but anyway we've got a toilet it's try telling on try telling that to people in

Australia where there's another yes but that's enough

that's not a fire in your house mr. Duncan there's quite a big difference

from setting fire to millions of hectares of natural forest compared to

that's an interesting point actually okay Steve you defecate shouting I want

to know is how much co2 has been released into the atmosphere from all

the burning of the forests in Australia yes or if you're posh in the UK you say

Australia or you go straight okay then are you going to work it out now

well no but I'd like to know I haven't heard anybody report this yet all these

fires how much co2 has it released into the atmosphere and I think it's a lot a

lot it's a lot I just say it's it's a lot

so everyone we are all aboard we are all aboard the Steve train

knightly sounds oh okay then don't draw attention to it Casey Jones demon and

a-rollin do you remember that show mr. Duncan when we were growing up no like a

white show from America you look it up Casey Jones

steamin and a-rollin Casey Jones steaming down the track

Casey Jones stickman roll in derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp derp dead

I was just thinking last week how all of my viewers are dropping off now we we

seem to have fewer and fewer viewers I think I know the reason why you look it

up with a great Brett I don't know how they used to get so many episodes every

week just from a train going down a track some weeks they'd be attacked by

Indians well every other week it was Indians okay when Steve says Indians

American indigenous Indians cowboys and Indians that's sort of that's when it

was much still wrong only only you could try to get those I'm talking only you

could clear something up by making something actually worse you know no

that cowboy Native American yes well not native Indians well it was a good show I

used to enjoy it which kcj muffins and a rolling no you look it up no one

remembers no was in his choo-choo train and he used to do these to have

adventures of every week I said quite liked it

well of course they're good they're going to have adventures aren't they I

mean I mean how many adventures can you have I suppose it was set in sort of

early days of when America was building all these tracks everywhere and of

course all these tracks yeah they were they were they were they were laying

lots of railroads every okay Steve Jeff is on he wrote he if Jeff is on Jeff is

on if Jeff is on watching maybe he can tell us about if he

remembers Casey Jones demon and a-rollin you know I'm really beginning to I'm

really beginning to regret having this sound effect this one I really regret

having that sound effect because for some reason it's it stirred mr. Steve

into talking about a show that virtually no one on the planet remembers what what

you're doing Steve you can have a look at the live chat there look I can that's

true but I can't go back can i but none of us can go back yes

Apache says Scandinavian country wants zero emissions yes so do we we've said

we're going to have zero zero emissions which i think is a responsible thing to

do for us in the West because we started the Industrial Revolution off yes so

we've got to we've always got to now be making amends for in a way because we

did create all this pollution in the first place we what you mean the English

well English yes the West I'm talking about in developed countries is going to

say it it seems it seems a little it seems a little unfair just to blame the

English well for all the pollution we did start the Industrial Revolution yes

right okay then but if we haven't if we hadn't started it somebody else would

have yes but that my point is that now we've started it we've used up a lot of

these resources so it's our responsibility now to to show the the

rest of the world how we can clean up our act and and and use more sustainable

forms of energy like solar wind and in fact now in the UK something like 26%

which is a phenomenal figure of our energy now comes from wind power okay

then which so we're making lots of progress but I get 0 Steve I'm just

going to ask you now to reel in all of the things that you think all of the

thoughts that are popping up in your head Wow so this is the final time

you'll see mr. Steve today I'm more excited today mr. Dobby forever

and I understand I don't know why you're excited it's very unusual take advantage

of it because I don't usually have this much energy as if only but but the

problem what I was going to say Steve is you can't really get rid of emissions

because even even we have lots of emissions especially mr. Steve mr.

Duncan yes and there's nothing worse than gas from your digestive tract

to cause global warming that that's why they're the environmentalists are trying

to tell us to eat less meat well they're trying to get rid of all the Sheep they

want the sheep and the cows to go well they see they produce all this gas yes

methane gas which is something like ten times worse in terms of in terms of

causing the greenhouse effect than co2 yes so you know yes well we'd we'd

hardly eat any meat I think actually environmentally we're very good as a

couple as two people we're actually very good because we we you burn these logs

which are from trees that are planted yes we burn we burn trees to keep us

warm for 20 minutes we haven't had children so if you have a child that

immediately you double your emission okay then you how these facts come from

by the way how much stuff and how much co2 will be created as the result of one

child so so what what you're saying is we have to get rid of sheep cows and

children get rid of the lot okay then I thought how much more I wonder how much

how many more people can the earth sustain an interesting question but

according to somebody I listened to the other day they said another 2 billion ok

you know I think we've got enough quite honestly but there we go so what is mr.

Duncan talking about today so are you asking me or is this

this your inner monologue that says here beaut an Boutin is the only country in

the world which absorbs more carbon than it produces interesting no didn't know

that don't you export or wheel I don't know don't know about that ah maybe

that's what that that's very obvious by the way that you don't know super

excited I am today I don't know why okay to know today we're doing something else

as well Steve if we can if we can actually get a word in edgeways while

Steve is getting on his soapbox talking about all sorts of things we're talking

about words and phrases to do with having oh dear having an accident

accident accident so there are many different types of accident that you can

have like that so many accidents today we're talking about words and phrases

and there are a lot of accidents a lot of types of accident that you can have

also another thing I want to mention very briefly is we often obsess about

our health don't we as we get older I think so this is something I mentioned

earlier and a lot of people can become hypochondriacs so there's an interesting

word it is a big word isn't it look at the size of that very big words that is

a long word it goes right there way across the screen hypochondriac so

sometimes I think Steve I think you can be a little bit not not completely but

sometimes a little bit of a hypochondriac

I would agree there I'm not as bad as I used to be but I used to be a bit

obsessed with my health I think we probably all go through phases like that

but yes I don't worry about it so much now because a lot of the time you think

you're real you you're not and what's the point of worrying you gots if you

think there's something wrong go to the doctor he tells you all right forget

about it get on your life that's my philosophy now as I

mentioned earlier I often find little spots and little boils things on my body

sometimes and I get so obsessed and I think it's something serious and then a

couple of days later a couple of days later I wonder what you were going to do

but what were you doing then I was looking at these boils they're not

they're not on my face they're on my body but they're not there now they've

gone yes got one down here very nasty Thanks

it needs a lamp see you are on very thin ice at the moment you got a boil you go

to the doctor they Lancet you are on very thin ice so what my point my point

is my point hitch fit it's quite often we obsess with something and then it

goes away so the thing comes it appears on your body and then it vanishes and

anything why was I so worried so sometimes we do worry about our health

and maybe we have something serious I remember a few years ago Steve when you

you used to go to the gym Steve wasn't feeling very well and he went to the

doctors and the doctor said you might be having a brain hemorrhage yes Wow

I was at the gym so that's we don't want the whole story how about an abbreviated

version please make it as short as possible and yes abbreviated story so

yes I don't I only went for about six months and I was pumping iron mr. Duncan

on the weights you know on the weights doing all this and suddenly I felt that

this headache coming on and it just got worse and worse and worse it felt like

it just enveloped and I went to the I think we've told this story before and I

went to the the gym instructor okay is that his name his name Jim that would be

good wouldn't it if a person who works in a gym is actually called Jim I expect

it's happened that's amazing I would imagine it has so you so versus jgy am

and J I am okay then but you were here at the gym you were pumping headache

pumping iron headache and he went to the doctors and the doctor said well the man

in the in the in the in the gym so I said all about this terrific header that

I've been pumping I and he said oh he look really worried and said go straight

to your doctor yes because I found out afterwards if people go with massive

headaches quite often they're having a hemorrhage a brain hemorrhage and then

what you out of there because they don't want they don't want you to have a brain

hemorrhage on their premises well that lots of people go to the gym not lots

but a significant number every year so lots of people go to the gym but not

lots because they they're pumping too much and it's been a while since they've

got a weakness so all right okay Steve um and he sent me offer a scan of my

head was an was there anything where you were going to say was it was it empty

like a coconut shell anyway there was no detected problem so I wasn't having one

in fact the doctor that went back to the doctor I said well what was it and he

said I think you stressed have you been overworking if you had a

holiday recently and I said no he said Ron I'm taking you two weeks off sick

leave and I was better after that that's it I think Steve just wanted some time

off work to be honest hypochondriac yes some of you constantly worries about

their health but I do like that the the fact that the person in a gym sent you

away as quickly as possible it really worries because I I think I

think he was hoping that you would collapse outside in the car park and not

in the gym because it can't be very good for business if people are dropping like

flies in your gymnasium it's not not a good advertisement

anyway I sort of gave it up after that because I didn't really like it it was

too many smelly people and you have to sit on the

equipment afterwards don't you too many too many smelly people you're supposed

to wipe the what people are sweating everywhere you don't know whether

they've had a shower it says on the equipment you're supposed to wipe the

equipment down after you've used it but people never do

which equipment are you talking about they're all the weights and the most

bits of equipment I thought I thought you meant your own equipment

you know I'm your body because sweating everywhere and then they're sitting on

these bits of equipment and then you're gonna have to use it afterwards it's

gusting anyway I don't go anymore and you're supposed to write them down but

people never do they never do they never do and when I never did so I stopped

going in the end because every time I went in to get an illness an illness

what you mean there well actually I can I had a cold sore on my lip I'd never

had cold sores in my intestine where where were you putting your lips I think

you know you've put your hands on the equipment they're contaminated with bugs

and then you wiped your face or something and I got this big spot come

over my face where I I'm just I'm just very intrigued I think what else were

you doing at that gymnasium yeah I think there probably lots of people go to gyms

but I don't know and that they probably are good for your health but sitting

there is something I don't like about when I'm taking exercise I don't want to

be surrounded by lots of other people no I don't want lots of loud music I don't

want to be surrounded by people when I'm doing anything and that's true that's

why you do this and people watching television seem a very healthy place to

me a gym I mean all these people sweating bugs everywhere okay then

you're just repeating yourself there it was just having to drive there it took

so long it's much quicker to get out of the house go for a quick walk you're

back you've got your exercise done in half an hour you if I've got a drive to

the gym that's 20 minutes just change slow down with your thoughts and slow

down mind you I might meet somebody attractive there you never know what

they might be thinking the same thing so I don't think you have any look there

look Sean says some people are obsessed with their wrinkles

always thinking to get rid of it yes I don't worry about my wrinkles because I

don't have very many and Steve you don't have many wrinkles well not on your face

anyway everything else is wrinkly but but not

your face it looks amazing anyway we seem to be going off the topic

yeah we do I met somebody one interesting thing about wrinkles

somebody who was obsessed with wrinkles and they said to me every time you make

a wrinkle by by an expression like a frown or something like that fountain if

you do it a million times it becomes a permanent feature on your face okay okay

that's great so we're talking about words to do with accident so you have an

accident something that you weren't prepared for

something you weren't expecting so it happens accidentally so the way the

thing happens is accidentally it happens unexpectedly accidentally you were not

expecting the thing to happen so to do something accidentally it might be

something that you weren't expecting such as falling over or hurting yourself

of course you can accidentally bump in to another person you might meet a

person in the street you weren't expecting to meet so you can meet

someone accidentally you didn't intend to meet them so a thing that happens

accidentally is something you weren't expecting some other words now oh here's

an interesting thing if you have an accident Steve you will often injure

yourself and you may need to go to the doctor yes I need stitches so if you

injure yourself it means you have come to harm so something has happened

something has been damaged and by that we mean a part of your body so you

injure yourself and then get a cut yeah bruised a broken bone a twisted pelvis

one of those fractured skill actually this girl raptured skull eunji yourself

you don't want a fractured skull especially mr. Steve because his brain

might pop it could be a minor injury like a cut an

abrasion often I get that when I'm out in the in the garden you're digging away

and you might accidentally slip Rosa says Rosa says I can't continue watching

you like that you're probably not the only one

incidentally somebody's put their yes something that is incidental or

incidentally so it happens by chance you are you you weren't expecting it to

happen so something that is an incident I suppose you could also describe an

accident as an incident so you have an injury so you injure yourself so when we

say injury what are we saying Steve yes you've got again that could be a cut if

if you injure yourself that means you caused some damage to

your body dancer but the injury is the actual thing that has been damaged so we

say an injury it is a general term to mean the thing that has been damaged so

yes if you have an injury it means that is the thing that has been harmed

damaged or maybe maybe it's being completely cut off maybe maybe you you

are missing one of your arms or an ear it could be a severe injury yes

something minor injury yes so something severe is something like a broken bone I

would say you've lost a finger or severe injury yes or maybe you trap your head

in a door and it cuts your head off that's a serious injury serious or

severe normally that would mean that you need to go to the hospital get it

treated a minor injury you might be able to treat that yourself or just go to the

local doctor but if something severe you might incur a severe injury and a car

accident so satury know says in the movies after an

accident people will swear and in real life it is I suppose it is normal to

swear to their mother or their sisters well if you do injure yourself quite

often you will swear because because it's painful so quite often swearing

might be a reaction to to an injury because it's pain its pain you are

reacting to the pain yes I know it's a Torino saying there in the films they're

going four-letter word hell okay I'm going to oh yes

in hell and in real life people I don't know the real life they say to their

mothers can you give us an example of that yes please don't please don't give

an example I want to stay on YouTube for us for as long as I possibly can

what do they say then Oh mother okay so is that a cleaner way of swearing I

don't know get an injury I don't know Steve where you're going with this I'm

not sure I just wanted to know no okay that's good there are fewer cars than

usual because many categories of cars are no longer allowed to circulate says

Anna so where Anna is certain cars are not allowed anymore on the road fall you

might have a fall as you get older you might find that you have more Falls

because I don't know why have you noticed this Steve interesting Beatriz

in connection to that has said on Friday she said she wants us to say if that's

the correct way of saying it which is connected with what you've said on

Friday I dropped to the floor in my bedroom so

what you would say is actually you'd say I fell to the floor hmm i feld Fe double

L but in fact Beatriz you had a fall yes so you fell you had a fall but I suppose

you could say you dropped to the floor as well you dropped to the floor or of

course or of course you you may have become unconscious in which case we say

you faint you faint or you fainted if it is the pest tent you could say I

dropped to the floor but normally you would say I fell hmm

I fell that was what we ignore me yes so an accident where you suddenly fall is a

fall you had a fall so a person might fall if they are trying to climb the

stairs maybe they fall down the stairs there's another connection to keep that

up mr. Duncan TS has said that her heart has been injured by somebody so yes so

you can but that's you're not talking a literal you're not talking that you had

an actual injury not a physical injury but maybe somebody you were going out

with somebody seeing somebody and then they then they dropped you and you broke

your heart yes I think that's what TS means there you are talking figurative

figuratively yes so you can damage someone's heart physically or or just

just figuratively so my heart was broken you have broken my heart my heart has

been injured but that just means your feelings yes so did you fall in love

with somebody and then they dumped you mm-hmm and you had a broken heart

sweetness is going as well I don't know why everyone seems to be disappearing at

the moment sorry mr. Duncan Oh mr. steamed I can't attend this amazing live

stream I have guests that I have to be with I have to be with them bring them

on bring them on okay sweetness they're worriedly to see you fall we've only got

we've only got another 20,000 words Palmero says two years ago I think

colleague broke her leg not a keg her leg while skiing in in the

ounce in Italy in a helicopter took her to hospital

yes yes that was a serious injury well skiing skiing

an accident can I just say something I know this is going to be controversial

but I think of all the ridiculous things a person can do it's strapped themselves

to two large pieces of metal or plastic and then slide down the side of a

mountain that is covered in snow I think I think it might be a slightly no this

is just my this is just my opinion I think skiing might be just slightly

foolish well it's mr. Duncan it's just sports furnace have you ever skied mr.

Duncan I haven't then that's the reason why well I have and it is great fun it's

the challenge I like my speeding down a slope with there that wind in you in it

well you've been only got a hat on and goggles because it's very bright

it's great fun that there's a whole atmosphere around there there's chalets

you're gonna have a nice hot drink the atmosphere of people screaming with

broken legs going up in the open the lifts and they live skiing there it it's

actually incredibly hard work because you've got to do a to stop you've got to

do this sort of snow plow they call it okay let's get into that but a lot of

people break their legs they do in fact we used to have trips at school

literally to to go skiing okay I never went on them because then I won't say

why but anyway but it's always somebody on a school trip who goes on a skiing

holiday breaks their leg I'm not sure much more shocking a Steve saying that

he used to go skiing sometimes or the fact that he just he just said that his

family was poor well there wasn't that they used to spend lots of money mate

that's not that's always to get piano lessons and things like that so there's

other Steve ending with Steve now we don't have to talk endlessly about

everything we bring up slip people are talking at all about their accident

you'll never guess what happened to me the other day I took a fall or I had a

fall you don't take a fall you have a fall

on the ground whilst walking home I stepped on a piece of plastic strap that

caused my accident fortunately I only got a few bruises a bruised Hydra is

going when we say bruised we mean bleeding that occurs under the skin due

to impact yes slip you can slip can't you you can slip

we've been doing a lot of that recently mr. Duncan it's very muddy it's been

raining a lot it's been muddy outside we go for a walk and we slip so one foot

doesn't go where you want it to do and you might slip and then fall over yes or

you might slip and just manage to correct yourself so you might slip on

the mud you might slip on ice you might slip on a wet surface so maybe a flaw

that is just being washed or cleaned or maybe polished and you slip so you slip

over you slip up you slip and fall you can slip up in other ways as well can't

you make a mistake make a mistake so you might be taking you might say something

and it's a mistake and you can say I slipped up there or your boss at work

asked you to do a project your boss at work I suppose I said you do a project

and you made some mistake in it you can say well I slipped up there something

you don't normally do it's a slip up you slipped up something you normally very

good at something and then and then you make us a mistake and you say you

slipped up it's not something you would normally make a mistake in doing okay

it's a slip up isn't it slip so maybe you could say the wrong thing you could

have a slip of the tongue yes a slip of the tongue yes okay we've got Pat you

says what does accident waiting to happen mean an accident waiting to

happen is something that is a hazard that is there all the time but no one

does anything about it they don't they don't take that hazard away so a hazard

is something that is dangerous or might cause

an injury or an accident so when we say that something is an accident waiting to

happen it means there is a hazard or something dangerous or harmful that is

already there but no one has noticed it it is an accident waiting to happen

maybe if you have a building and maybe one of the doors in the back has been

locked you might say that that locked door is an accident waiting to happen

so if there is a fire people would not be able to escape from that locked door

so an accident that is waiting to happen yes it could be you you drive your car

everyday and there could be a particular Junction

on the road which is dangerous and you know that you've got to be very careful

when exiting from this Junction and you think to yourself all there should be a

sign there or something but there has never been an accident because due to

look but you you might it's never happened but you might say that's an

accident waiting to happen it's it's it's a hazard that everybody can see or

maybe just you can see it or a few people can see it but nobody's done

anything about it because there never has been an accident and this happens a

lot on the roads where there are accident black spots for example places

where there are a lot of axes and huger at junctions and things like that and

the quite often we can say are on the road there's an accident way for example

if you if you always drove a car you were texting yes if you were the sort of

person that was distracted and was sending texts or on the phone you might

say that's an accident waiting to happen because sooner or later the laws of

probability will kick in and the accident will happen yes so explain that

basically the thing I said six minutes ago but I'm just trying to explain it in

different ways listeners on Steve

Skid so if you skid it means you move across the surface but at the same time

you are actually losing control so to lose control as you are moving forwards

you skid you skid you lose control as you are moving forward so you might skid

off the road in your car you might scared as you are walking you lose

control of your body or your movement for a brief moment and it causes you to

have an accident we won't talk about this one too much I'll just say one

thing mr. doing a skid I mean you talk about slip a skid is like a is where the

slip goes on for a long time isn't it yes so you have it you have it it could

be a foot to foot a meter okay and normally it leaves a mark so a skid

leaves a mark a slip is just a short little nobody can see your feet by the

way a slip is just a you know a momentary thing whereas a skid is you've

lost control over a long period of time so if you had a skid in the car you

might see black lines from your tyres whereas if you had a skid on some ice

you might you might see some marks left behind breaking shoes quite often with a

car if you lose control of your car

you will skid out of control Tomec says

tetanus give us a few examples of it in a sentence I cut my finger whilst

gardening on the rose bushes and now I'm going to have to go to the doctor for a

tetanus injection tetanus tetanus it's an it's an infection in soil it's a it's

a bug that contained that in soil that if you get soil into your skin for any

reason into an open cut you can get tetanus in there which is very serious

most countries you have vaccines for tetanus because it's in Sora all over

the world you've got to be very careful lots of old ladies gardening in the UK

it's a very common way to get tetanus is this a fact cutting their wrote it is a

fact cutting their Roses trimming their bushes and they get a thorn from the

Roses in their fingers which has got the tetanus on it because it's been near the

soil okay and you if you don't go to the doctor you'll be seriously ill but most

people have you know their countries will have a vaccination program to

prevent you when you're even from young children but yes so your your you might

get something in your finger you'll get tetanus and maybe your finger will

become infected as well you might get an infection in your finger and then your

finger will fall off well that's not tetanus that's different but yes that's

how you reduced people don't get tetanus very often it's you get lockjaw the bug

puts toxins into your system but because most countries have a vaccination

program to prevent you ever getting the disease tetanus and only ever used it in

a sentence saying Tomic Tomic has said thank you that

means he understands due to the explanation so we can move on here's

another one Steve stand humble stumble so this is kind of like falling but you

don't fall straight away or maybe you don't fall it

all you just trip but you managed not to fall so you stumble Oh stumble you write

yourself don't you yes so stumble is something where you lose

control of your movement briefly but you are able to regain control

so stumble you might stumble slightly and then afterwards you are okay again

because you might you might have tripped up on something on the pavement or there

could be a paving slab that's higher than the other and you're not looking

where you're going and your foot might get toe might get caught it and you just

stumble stumble stumble but quite often you don't fall you stumble you don't

step but if you but then you can use the expression stumbled and stumble and fall

hmm because you could stumble all right you know oh you're trying to correct

yourself but then you might not be able to correct yourself and then you fall a

lot of elderly people stumble they trip up over a pavement they can't write

themselves and then they fall Oh who's a good she stumbled and fell okay Steve

we've got it flower Espoir says there is always a black spot where many accidents

will occur especially on the road so quite often yes a black spot is an area

or place where accidents often occur so especially on the road so there might be

a junction or a part of the road where accidents often occur and and around

here there are many black spots there are quite often caused by other people

driving too fast yes there could be it could be many reasons usually it's a

junction and in the in the UK I mean I've been on training courses safety

road safety training we have a lot of that alone and and also if you've been

caught speeding yes which I have on numerous occasions oh I'm on the road a

lot naughty Steve you can in the UK you get points on your license probably in

lots of other countries but if you only have only had a speeding

offence once in five or six years they will allow you to go on a course a speed

awareness course okay and you have to pay for the course but it's the same as

the fine for trading but you don't get points on your license so a lot of

people go on these courses okay and one thing I've learned from that mr. Duncan

about accident black spots is in the UK probably and not some other countries if

there's a triangular sign that's surrounded in red that means and you'll

probably have a similar thing in your country a triangular sign in red means

that's a danger point in the road it could be a bend yes it could could be a

bend it could be a farm so you might have tractors there it could be a school

but if you see the triangular sign in red anywhere in the UK they only put

those up when there's been an accident and usually a death yeah so if you see

one of those signs anywhere in the UK chances are there's been a very serious

accident there or a death another that they only don't bother to put those

signs up okay until there has been a serious accident so you if it's there

you know there's been a serious accident okay in the past

another another way of spotting a hazard or a black spot on the road is quite

often you'll find bunches of flowers tied to the lamppost so if you're ever

driving down the road in the UK and you see a lamppost

or a signpost and tied to it there are lots of flowers it normally means that

in the area someone has died on the road either as a motorist or a pedestrian

so as you drive around you if you come to the UK and you see this it isn't just

people being very happy and pleasant but by decorating lampposts with flowers it

actually normally means that there's been a fatal accident nearby

exactly yes what do you think the government should do for road safety

what in in the UK we've actually I think the one of the safest countries I think

is the US for driving and in the UK we're quite good as well because we've

got lots of speeding cameras everywhere it's safe to say actually that there's

two main causes of road accidents one is lack of training but in the UK we have a

very strict road test you can't go onto the road to the part of theory test and

a very strict practical test as well other countries that don't have such

strict road tests like that before you can go on the road have more accidents

because you have to be aware of dangers the other one is speeding there's no

doubt speeding hmm causes more accident falling asleep falling asleep but yes

we've got a quite a good safety record in the UK but nevertheless in the UK

every year we're one of the safest gate countries in the world that's probably

about 5,000 deaths a year on the road that's a year and probably Oh many many

more times serious life-changing injuries I mean that's the thing you

mean five thousand between five and seven a current used to be a lot higher

than that yes but you go to some countries in the world and it's it's

like a million a year sorry when people die on the road really was so which

countries of these I think China's very high death well I was going to say that

I think that the world sure as well okay the worst drivers on the road have to be

Chinese I'm sorry I know I know what you're gonna say mr. Duncan you are

being unfair and cruel and prejudiced and racist and any other issed you can

think of however I've lived in China I lived there for many years

and I can safely say that people in China cannot drive at all that's

probably because they haven't got very strict rules about

letting people drive on the road no they don't they just they just pay someone

for the license they don't even take tests or even lessons but they just get

a car pay someone maybe a few hundred yuan and then suddenly they're on the

road and they've they've had no test or training and alcohol somebody's pointed

that out of course alcohol drink driving is another major cause of accidents in

the seventies and eighties nineteen seventies and eighties in the UK there

used to be a lot of deaths due to drink driving hmm and then we introduced very

very strict rules but nevertheless there's still a lot of accidents people

still drink and drive I mean I know from personal experience I don't drink and

drive but I do occasionally even if I have I mean there is a limit I think

it's 80 milligrams of alcohol or something like that it's it's much lower

in other countries in France it's a lot lower than it is in the UK but even if I

have something that is just one small drink and then I dry I'll be way way

under the limit I know I'm not I'm not concentrating as much even with just a

very small amount of alcohol okay you tend to drive faster and you tend to be

less aware and you're not you're not sort of because it's your inhibitions

have gone when you're drinking alcohol so you're not aware of dangers in the

same way you would be if you weren't having any alcohol the other dangerous

thing is having lots of people in the car with you or chatting away because

that's a big distraction for a driver if you've got lots of people and you're

trying to engage the driver in conversation things like that like when

you're driving in your mother keeps talking to you yes I find it a big

distraction your mother sometimes is is next to you

in and she's telling you all sorts of things in reading the signs out

loudly Alamgir says there you chew hadn't received alum gate didn't receive

any notifications live stream I know I don't know what the hell is going on at

the moment with YouTube since around the 3rd or 4th of January

YouTube has actually changed the way it does things you might not have noticed

it I have noticed it but there are there are lots of new restrictions and

regulations that have come in on YouTube since the beginning of this year and

this is something I was talking about last year and and because of that a lot

of people now aren't finding out about my videos or my new lessons or my live

streams and so this is a big problem but I am going to try and put that right by

having a new website that I I'm hoping to launch at the end of this month

so that will put everything right however YouTube I don't know what

YouTube is doing anymore I don't think even YouTube knows what they're doing

anymore they just keep pressing buttons and changing things so that's probably

one of the reasons why somebody just mentioned their about Louis said in

France the amount of alcohol is point three grams when the UK I think it's

point eight or it might might have come down a bit but I thought it was a lot

lower in France yes and sir who says alcohol gives you a false sense of

confidence and somebody else just said that they when they come to the you came

to the UK that when they were going out with some friends yes there we go Olga

says when I was in the UK some of my friends drank alcohol before driving

they said they were allowed to drink a bit yes that's true you can actually

have but probably a glass and a half of wine two pints of beer which is quite a

lot low-alcohol beer well average at point three percent beer

two pints of that it depends on what you've eaten or it's but a lot of people

have said it's best to drink nothing okay because even a small amount you're

not you your inhibitions have gone okay and

you're not as in fact I tend to get into into more fights with people yeah I've

never seen you in a fight ever I meant on the road you react more so somebody

does something are more likely to speed and react if I've got a leaving a small

amount of alcohol okay good Steve okay we're trying to move on now because

we've got a lot of things still to do drugs of course isn't big problem on

there this is a big problem yes I was smoking that and then driving so at the

moment and I could probably do with some drugs to get me through with this to be

honest

Tomic says he read a study that showed that more people are killed in car

accidents because of walking on a site yes that's it yes pedestrians a lot of

pedestrians get killed people walking along the road sometimes are very

careless as well they just step out in front of the traffic because they think

they can get across the road however they can't and then the car hits them

and then they fly through the air like a bird sindhya says their alcohol isn't

allowed of course it isn't allowed in a lot of countries Saudi Arabia I think

being one of them so obviously there were people won't be drinking and

driving their alcohol is a big problem generally so alight in small amounts in

social situations most most things are a problem it should be it probably isn't

practical to have zero alcohol because but I think the limits should be a lot

lower in the UK I think there should be lower yes

or maybe no alcohol but a lot of pubs have closed down in the UK yeah there's

one a one a week or something closes down and that's because you can just buy

alcohol from anywhere now but yes but before you I mean it was always so

traditional or not additionally we've mined I was growing up in the 70s and I

had my first car we'd we'd go on a pub crawl and drink and we were probably

drinking far too much alcohol because that's what you used to do that's what

you don't want to go to a pub and have a soft drink

whilst that mr. Duncan it's nothing there's an aeroplane going over okay yes

naught tolerance says Cecilia what are we doing next mr. Duncan hello oh yeah

that's okay I wasn't sure what were we doing then yo show describing what's

going over in the sky Belarus yeah also Cecilia Sudhir I was hoping to have our

lovely ramma lamma lamma lamma lamma lamma lamma lamma ding dong

today our lovely quiz so I think Steve will be going in around about 10 minutes

and then I will carry on with our quiz today how does that sound that sounds

good to me mr. Duncan because I want to go for a run so this is what I'm testing

you on today we're testing you on there there and there

in fact I might do this on Wednesday I might do this on Wednesday because I

don't think we've got time now because we're talking about so many things most

of them happen most of most of them unplanned unfortunately hello Pat

chooses I stood it I stood it all about alcohol and beer but I don't drink

that's interesting earlier on someone said that the roads in the UK are very

safe because I don't have a driving licence who said that you don't have a

driving licence do you this is true I don't drive I've never driven a car ever

I've never owned a motorcar I used to have a motorbike but not anymore

I just walk around or use public transport as the horse says their pubs

are closing down because of different social that that's another reason for

pubs closing down it's not just because people can't drink alcohol and drive

there are other reasons as well social media

you couldn't I reckon eventually you will be able to order alcohol of the

internet and someone will come round with with a pint of beer or a glass of

wine to your door you mean like they can for food burgers

yes any food so you can have food delivered to your door so I suppose it's

only a matter of time before they deliver wine or a glass of beer to your

door pubs are a very generational thing aren't they I mean I mean there is

musical societies and we often go for a drink afterwards but you never see many

young people in pubs they're all I would say over 60 the majority of people in

the old fashioned traditional pubs traditional if you go there are of

course wine bars of spring up now so you get it if there's if there's a

restaurant and a more modern purple will have a greater spread of Ages I think so

yes but the old traditional pub in the UK where people sat there and smoked

that's another reason of course for popes closing down because you can't

smoke in public places anymore which includes I mean going down to the pub

having a pint and a smoke was what a lot of men did yes I saw they lived fall but

if you can't smoke there and you've got to stand outside in the cold wet winters

and you can't drink much because you can't drive back you know not surprising

they're closing down yes but now people drink at home can I say thank you to

and then she said there is no way I'm taking those off oh sorry we're back are

we back oh oh we're back are we back oh dear oh yes but I think we're back oh my

goodness a common little bit are we back Connells just joined hello

Connell haven't seen you for a long time well we're not good can't say you're

late there's no absolute requirement for you to have to be here exactly on time

you don't have to be here early however sometimes I get a lot of people joining

just as we leave and they get very angry Thank You Helena a few weeks ago I had

an accident with a hint I don't know what a hint is I had an accident with a

hint at night in a forest what's that I was alone first of all Helena why were

you alone in a forest I was be going for a walk Lewis's mentioned he loves

walking in the forest and Irene has agreed with him what is a hint yes what

could that would be hint accident with a hint at a tree I don't know yes what's a

hint tell us what you mean by a hint Helen Cydia Cydia says my country is the

safest place to drive because you hardly find any drivers who have had alcohol

but in spite of that the road accidents are increasing because people don't have

driving licences very similar to China a lot of people jump into their cars they

get a new car or they get an old car and they jump into it without having any

tests or any training at all incredible so that's why I think China has the

worst road safety record in the world have we got anybody from Russia Iran I

think Russia is probably not far behind well but maybe I don't know we don't

know officially about so we have to be careful because there

are big changes taking place in Russia at the moment so I have to be careful

I'm not saying anything else it was Steve not me there's a program not

meaning to be disingenuous there's a program that we watch sometimes which is

car accidents showing you videos of car accidents all around the world it's

great entertainment it is great it does tell you that there's nobody being

seriously injured in these accidents but you do see it is entertaining to watch

car accidents so should be have you have you ever been in a car accident mr.

Duncan I've never been in a car accident it's very frightening please don't

please don't tell me you're a long story about your car accident I won't but it's

very it's very very scary yes well I would imagine it is

I would imagine being involved in any vehicle accident isn't much fun I've

never heard anyone say I had a car crash the other day and it was hilarious you

what said it again mr. Duncan I wasn't listening reading the live stream okay

then oh okay his mail says that says hi I'm on my way

from London to Birmingham to attend a wedding how lovely

well are we invited maybe we'll just turn up I think it's safe to say we're

not invited well just turn up yes what is the hint we want to know I want to

know what the hint is yes in the forest it is a typo Oh note no accident with a

note an accident with a note that's even more confusing maths in physics is here

in Pakistan I think 90% of people are without their driving licenses oh my

goodness so I would imagine if you cross the road in Pakistan you have to look

both ways and then look both ways again and then just keep looking an accident

with I hunt satury no says it could be hunt hunt accident with a hunt in the

forest very scary well we want to know what is it's a hint

hunt well if it's hunt that there are even more questions I want to ask like

what were you hunting in the forest was it the same thing that Steve hunts for

when he's in the forest what do I hunt for in forests mr. Duncan Christina says

sorry mr. Duncan I have to go Christina's going now everyone

everyone's going ah but more people are joining mr. Duncan did you want to do

some more words mr. Duncan mr. Duncan was just berating me I wasn't Perez yeah

yeah we talking I wasn't criticizing you I was just saying that this is an

English addict live stream where we talk about different words but you go through

those all we've talked about is you stumble stumble you can stumble a gentle

word that's all we talked about say the wrong words or you mispronounce

a word you stumble over your words sprays brain you reach too far or maybe

you move a part of your body much further than it should go and you sprain

you stretch the muscle or you stretch the tendon too far and you injure it we

often call it a sprain athletes will often sprain their ligaments or their

muscles in their legs quite often quite often Oh your ankle your ankles a common

one to sprain I sprained my ankle so you haven't broken it but you've damaged it

because you might have fallen over awkwardly might have had a stumble and

sprained your ankle I think I'm starting to sprained my back as a sprain is an

injury that you might probably requires it to be strapped up but hasn't actually

broken anything okay it's just a soft tissue what we call a soft tissue injury

to the ligaments or something cut cut cut cut cut so you can cut yourself you

might accidentally cut your finger you might accidentally cut another part of

your body as it were so mean accident accidentally not on purpose so you cut

yourself accidentally maybe with a piece of paper oh yes you can get a paper cut

you might cut yourself with a knife maybe you are cutting some cheese maybe

you are cutting a piece of cheese and you slip and you cut your finger you

slice into your finger with the knife oh I hate cutting myself I hate it I hate

it when you slip and you cut your finger or you injure yourself is so painful and

sometimes it bleeds yes I need to put a big plaster on it you can also use cut

to me remove something you take something away if you delete something

or remove something quite often from maybe a video or a piece of music you

might remove part of it you cut cut don't they say that in moviemaking when

it's come to an end of a scene that's it they say cut that's it it means stop

filming stop filming cut and paste of course

yes you do a lot that on spreadsheets that's it

you take a piece of writing out and you move it somewhere else that's it

bash bash bash you bash something hit you hit it violently maybe you bash your

head or maybe a low ceiling yeah the way you bash your head

you may maybe you bash your elbow you bash your leg I fell over and bashed my

head on the floor painful bash yes a bash it's a nasty

it's a nasty hit a net bash bash normally from an accident

also you've if you hit something with force maybe a drum or maybe you are

making a sound by hitting it you can bash something if you are criticizing

someone by saying bad things about them we can say that you are bash

them you bash them you say bad things yes or a very lavish meal a very lavish

party where lots of people are enjoying themselves a big celebration where there

is lots of wining and dining food is eaten we can call it a bash we're having

a big wedding bash next week yes if you you can if you bash somebody over the

head for example you might you might use your fists or you might use a piece of

wood you could bash a nail with a hammer into some wood couldn't you hitting

something so to bring something to an end as well is cut trip again it's a

little bit like slip although trip you normally trip over an

object so something that is in front of you your foot will catch the thing and

then you trip over you trip you trip up you trip over simulator stumble hmm but

specifically your foot your toe or your ankle as you're walking has hit

something that causes you to miss a step as you trip up it can be embarrassing

you could trip and write yourself and carry on yes or you could trip and then

fall yes so quite often as an accident because we're talking about accidents

trip means to catch something with your foot and then you fall to the ground

the underly lady tripped on the pavement fell over and broke her hip hmm mr.

Steve tripped on the doorstep and he fell over straight onto his face as you

can see break break you can break something break your leg break your arm

break your ankle break your finger there are many parts of your body that's a

literal break an actual injury yes you actually break it or as Tia said earlier

she broke had a heart broken hmm which is a

different thing altogether yes so you can stop as well if you stop

doing something for a short time you have a break you have a short rest and

in medical terms if you break your bone we can call it a fracture fracture so

something that is broken or cracked there is a fracture sometimes in the

earth or below the ground you can have a fracture in the Earth's crust which

causes earthquakes yes if you make fracture a bone it's not as bad as

breaking it so you have a crack in it so the bones don't separate hmm they just

crack but you would still have to have a plaster on you if you if you break a

bone or fracture a bone in the UK you normally go to something called the

fracture clinic so that's where they would they would put a plaster on hmm

but usually yes you're right a fracture is not a complete break the bones stay

together whereas a break is it right the way through the bread right the way

through the bone fracture here's another one

yes ts just said what's the difference when a break and a fracture well they're

similar hmm but a break means it goes all the way across the balance the bone

is completely broken yeah and then you have a thing called a compound fracture

yes you don't want a compound fracture where the bones broken in lots of

different places yes you might fall you might have a car accident and your your

leg is broken in many places I had a car accident when I was in my early 20s we

know and I fractured my ankle yeah so there was a a break in the bone but not

all the way across so it repaired quite easily dislocate now this for me is one

of my worst nightmares this is something that I hope I never have to do

or an accident that I have where I dislocate part of my body so maybe I

suppose a good example be your shoulder maybe you have an accident in your bone

comes out Oh out of its socket Oh Steve so that's it we have ball and joint what

they call boil boil and joint a ball and socket gents in most of our where our

bones go into other other bones the most common one is the shoulder a ball and

socket joint yes but if that comes out oh that's a dislocation damage all the

tendons don't say it I'm ligaments and say it

don't stay oh because you what you have to do then is put the bone back in to

the socket yes and quite often you have to use force oh my goodness Steve I

don't like that so I hope I never dislocate a part of my body normally a

joint that you pull out Helen said she had it was an accident with a deer as

she drove through the fall a deer deer deer Sullivan her car she was driving

through the forest and hitted that's very common around here yeah we have a

lot we have a lot of deers here's and if you're driving particularly at night you

can get a very serious injury because they're very heavy and you have to be

very careful it's why there's a low speed limit on the roads around here

because the deers can spring out from the forests we drove custard there

donkey the other week I know I that the road between here and Telford is

littered with dead animals it's a it's the killing fields it's one of the local

roads near to where we live and as you drive along there there are always dead

animals everywhere but we but there was a dead donkey because as Helen Helen

said well if you drive through a forest iary of which this is there are always

animals trying to get from one side of the forest to the other if the roads

down there in the middle then there's going to be lots of accidents yes well

it would appear that there are some trap that go across the road so so the

animals will emerge from one side of the road but they need to get to the other

side so they can continue with their journey

and quite often you will find dead squirrels dead pheasants dead deer dead

foxes dead batches rabbits maybe the occasional dead donkey well and the

other day there was a dead chicken yes a dead chicken on the side of the road and

I said to Steve I said why did the chicken cross the road

and then then he said he asked why and I said we'll never know because the

chickens dead that's that's an old-fashioned joke why did the chicken

cross the road to get to the other side I can't hear anyone laughing no I can't

hear that am i going there mr. Duncan do you want to go you don't have to go legs

are aching I'm not telling you to go well you gave me a hint about 10 minutes

ago mr. Steve is going in 10 minutes as much to say you wanted me to go like an

subscribe by the way if you like what you see right now on your computer

monitor or mobile device like and subscribe and I am here how often am I

here I hear you ask well guess what I am here Sunday Wednesday and Friday I might

not be here on time on Wednesday because I might be going to see my mum in

hospital it depends if she's out because she might be out of hospital by

Wednesday if not I might be going to the hospital to see my mum Steve yes an idea

though you're gonna I was going to say yes ah who says dear accidents and

hitting hitting a deer with your car happens a lot in the winter because it's

their mating season they're looking for a mate their routine I think

heard that I think you're right there where you are eyes or they are written

Valerie she says my friend hit a pork at night I think you mean a pig pork is the

meat that you get from a pig so you wouldn't say I hit a pork you would say

I hit a pig well it might have been it might have been a piece of pork maybe

someone had left a piece of pork in their own joint of meat yes a piece of

meat it hit a pig a pig sorry to correct you there sorry

well the big question I have is where are pigs

hi Beatrice where where are pigs walking around free on the road I've never seen

a pig well there might be a pig farm oh yes near where Belarusian lives or maybe

or just and maybe one of the pigs has got out we don't have any pigs around

here do we no you can describe a person as a pig and now a nasty person who's

rude slobby untidy smelly okay maybe they eat in a

very unpleasant way we can say that they eat like a pig

if you hit in the UK desert there's a law if you hit an animal like a deer or

a what's the other what's that common one that bird that crosses the road I've

killed one haven't done accidentally pheasant desn't if you hit an animal

that is edible like a pheasant or a peak maybe probably not a pig because that

probably would belong to a farmer but a wild animal like a pheasant or the deer

if you hit it you're not allowed and it's dead you're not allowed to take it

and to eat but if you were following somebody if you found it dead on the

side of the road you could then pick it up and take it home and eat it that's

the law in this country whoo-hoo some people might well I know I know

neighbors that who is collecting dead animals from the road and eating them

well if you saw a dead deer you might think that's a lot of meat that will

keep me hungry for a few weeks how the hell are you gonna get the deer into

your car are you sticking in the boot strap it on the top of the yeah on the

roof but you can if you hit that animal you're not allowed by law you can't take

that animal but somebody following you could take it

it's a strange law I think it's there to prevent you deliberately killing animals

because the idea is that you don't want people deliberately swerving to kill

animals so who who is going out of their way to potentially damage their car just

so they can have some free meat here but if it's a pheasant you can't you can't

drive at them no you can't but I think that's the idea of the law going into

the field it is a bit I don't know what and unless there was somebody around

nobody's gonna stop you mr. Bruno is very funny by the way what's mr. Bruno

said mr. Bruno says the the pig that Belarus you're hit has now become pork

oh yes that's very good very very good very funny oh you don't

tell you you don't have to apologize but this is what this is all about we're

here to correct you on your English yeah Anna Coby had an accident with a wild

boar a wild boar they're quite ferocious animals I know the wild boar we don't

have them in the UK we used to have them but we must have killed them all off our

glaze ago probably poached them all shot them all probably okay we used to have

we used to have wolves but of course we killed all the wolves that have wolves

anymore we don't it is heart-wrenching to see an animal

being killed in an axe and it is hi yes dead cats

I've along this road I've killed lots of animals rabbits and sometimes in the car

right I'm going to go mr. Duncan you're going on flagging flagging earth if

you're flagging it means you're getting tired and well I don't think I have been

here for two hours two hours yes two hours getting dark mr. Duncan but the

lights don't endure the nights are getting brighter because we've crossed

the the winter that's the light now just I know but it's really dark soon yes

about about sunsets in no it's about half past four I looked is it helped us

for the sunsets so you can see there that the shadows are very long and it'll

be dark by five quarter past four so it looks like the Sun is starting to set in

the distance it's not beautiful it is a beautiful it is a beautiful day to day I

must be honest it's a lovely day today because the Sun is out it's cold but it

really does look nice the Sun is now starting to set so you can see that the

the colour is rather nice yes Lewis said I know somebody had an

accident with a wild boar and his car was not repairable but that's the thing

because of the you probably driving quite if you hit a deer

we know a neighbor that hit a deer and her car was written off so if you say

your car was written off it means that it's beyond economic repair okay because

you can often repair cars but if it costs more to repair it than the cars

worth then the insurance company write it off they say that's not worth

repairing okay get rid of it yes thought I just throw that is this is you going

by the way this is Steve going he talks for another six minutes but what I was

going to say there that you could repair the car but you can't repair the ball

true that's true yes if you hit a horse as well people do hit horses sometime

with cars yes it's it's it's actually the bigger the animal the more likely

you are to do a serious injury to yourself well

yes I suppose so because the car is hitting a big solid object yes well at

that huh that's that's just physics isn't it time flies in a live stream it

does flower it very much does so just fly so I'm going to fly are you flying

now Eli I'm going to go for a run because I bought these new shoes that

have great big studs in them that grip in the in the in the mud and so I'm not

sliding all over the place so I'm not going to be sliding mr. Duncan or

checking up your doubt talking for another six minute because my new

running shoes these big rubber stairs in them that dig into the mud okay so no

slipping or stumbling for me it's time for mr. Steve to pull out of the station

are you ready to pull your hoot-hoot I am it's time to go choo-choo ready

no doesn't bring your hand over slightly Oh or use this here's this hand one two
