2135
04:44
I want to see that smile on your face now, please.
20
284483
3137
04:48
After three.
21
288087
1301
04:49
One, two, three.
22
289388
2102
04:51
Smile.
23
291891
3737
04:57
Plenty of reasons to smile today.
24
297129
2035
04:59
First of all, I'm here.
25
299198
2235
05:01
How could your day be bad?
26
301433
2436
05:04
I'm here right now on your screen.
27
304470
2469
05:08
And my name is Mr.
28
308040
1501
05:09
Duncan.
29
309541
801
05:10
I am one of those strange people
30
310342
3871
05:14
who like to pop up from time to time on YouTube and do all sorts of things.
31
314613
5172
05:19
I love the English language.
32
319818
1969
05:21
In fact, you might say that I am one of those there.
33
321787
4238
05:26
I am an English addict.
34
326358
2069
05:28
And yes, I do like English
35
328427
3203
05:31
and I have a feeling that you do as well,
36
331630
3103
05:34
because that is the reason why we are all here together.
37
334733
3370
05:38
I talk about the English language.
38
338470
1902
05:40
I've been doing this forever, such a long time.
39
340372
2870
05:43
Many and many years.
40
343242
2836
05:46
In fact, this year, 16,
41
346078
3503
05:50
16 years, I would imagine
42
350883
2469
05:53
there are people who were only small or young,
43
353352
4304
05:57
very young or maybe even not born
44
357956
3737
06:03
when I started doing this on YouTube.
45
363595
2937
06:06
Isn't that amazing?
46
366565
1034
06:08
So here we are then. Hey.
47
368600
2269
06:11
Yes. Guess what?
48
371537
1901
06:13
We've made it all the way to the middle of another week.
49
373438
3070
06:18
Things are getting rather
50
378243
2269
06:20
tense in certain parts of the world.
51
380512
3404
06:23
Certain areas. Certain countries.
52
383949
2569
06:26
I know.
53
386552
1401
06:27
And you know what I'm talking about.
54
387953
2302
06:31
But at least we are all still here together for now.
55
391156
4438
06:35
Yes, it's Wednesday.
56
395994
15749
06:52
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
57
412210
4805
06:57
Do do, do, do, do.
58
417015
2603
07:00
I always think.
59
420218
1836
07:02
One of the things I like to see on my computer screen,
60
422054
2903
07:04
besides my smiling face and your smiling face
61
424957
3036
07:08
is some lovely fireworks.
62
428393
2636
07:13
Yes. Let's have a celebration.
63
433231
3404
07:16
It is a new day.
64
436868
1168
07:18
A new day has arrived.
65
438036
1402
07:19
I hope your day is good.
66
439438
2202
07:22
Today we are having some gorgeous weather.
67
442040
2636
07:24
The sun is out.
68
444876
1168
07:26
It's quite warm as well.
69
446044
2002
07:28
It would appear that we are heading towards another period of warm weather.
70
448447
4938
07:34
More hot weather is on its way.
71
454186
3336
07:37
And of course, during this month, the month of August.
72
457989
3170
07:41
Oh, by the way. Hello, everyone. Welcome to August.
73
461193
3103
07:45
This is my first live stream
74
465297
2235
07:47
in the month of August 2022.
75
467532
3304
07:51
So I hope you are feeling good today.
76
471069
5472
07:56
I'm not too bad.
77
476575
1134
07:57
It is hot in the studio once again.
78
477709
2870
08:00
I don't know why.
79
480579
1134
08:01
I think I might have to get some air conditioning for this room
80
481713
5405
08:07
because it's boiling hot again.
81
487786
3537
08:11
I think it's about 33 degrees in the studio outside.
82
491623
5806
08:17
The temperature is around 23 Celsius.
83
497796
3970
08:22
So in the studio, very hot outside.
84
502200
3070
08:25
Not too bad.
85
505303
1201
08:26
Although we did have a lot of rain last night as well.
86
506504
3137
08:30
I don't remember any of it because I was fast asleep.
87
510008
3503
08:34
I had a great night's sleep last night.
88
514613
3236
08:37
I don't know what happened, but I was so tired when I went to bed
89
517882
4038
08:42
and I slept completely.
90
522287
2469
08:45
You might say that I had a solid sleep.
91
525323
3537
08:50
Solid?
92
530028
1034
08:51
That means your sleep was undisturbed.
93
531062
3804
08:55
At no point during the night did you wake up.
94
535266
2937
08:58
You were not moving around.
95
538870
2136
09:01
You were not tossing and turning.
96
541006
2502
09:03
During the night.
97
543975
1001
09:04
You were sound asleep, fast asleep.
98
544976
4304
09:10
You had a beautiful night sleep.
99
550148
2803
09:14
And that's what happened last night.
100
554019
2202
09:16
Hello to everyone. Welcome.
101
556221
2202
09:18
All aboard, everyone.
102
558423
1234
09:19
All aboard.
103
559657
1769
09:22
This is the.
104
562027
1368
09:23
The train to English town, and that's where we are heading right now.
105
563395
4738
09:28
Live English every Sunday and Wednesday from 2 p.m.
106
568166
4905
09:33
UK time.
107
573071
1134
09:34
Oh, did you see my new video?
108
574205
2903
09:37
I posted a video on my YouTube channel yesterday.
109
577108
4805
09:42
I was out and about on Monday.
110
582147
1968
09:44
I couldn't resist going outside on Monday for two reasons.
111
584115
5005
09:49
First of all, it was the first day of August
112
589154
3770
09:53
and also the weather was incredible.
113
593258
2335
09:56
So I could not resist going outside
114
596094
2636
09:59
on Sunday as on Monday, not Sunday.
115
599030
3871
10:03
On Monday, the 1st of August.
116
603034
2202
10:05
And had a walk around in the lovely sunshine.
117
605770
3504
10:09
And that video is available to view on my YouTube channel,
118
609574
4571
10:15
along with all the rest of them
119
615079
2136
10:17
that I've been making over the past six years.
120
617215
3670
10:22
Can you believe it?
121
622020
667
10:22
I can't believe I've been doing this for nearly 16 years.
122
622687
3136
10:26
By the way, there is a WASP in the studio.
123
626357
2803
10:29
It's buzzing around my head and it's very distracting.
124
629727
3971
10:33
So if I seem a little bit distracted today,
125
633698
2970
10:36
that is because there is a wasp buzzing around my head.
126
636901
4338
10:41
I might try to move that wasp outside
127
641239
5572
10:47
just in case it comes across and stings me on my news.
128
647045
4004
10:51
Yes, we have the live chat. Hello, live chat.
129
651549
2970
10:54
Nice to see you here as well.
130
654519
1968
10:56
Of course, it would not be the live stream without you on the live chat.
131
656487
4672
11:02
We have some lovely views to look at today.
132
662327
3503
11:06
We have some nice flowers, some very interesting plants
133
666130
4538
11:10
that are growing in my garden at the moment
134
670835
3036
11:14
because of course it is summer here and a lot of things are looking
135
674305
5172
11:19
very colourful and beautiful at the moment in the garden.
136
679477
3837
11:23
Oh, hello, Mohsen.
137
683314
1969
11:25
Oh, interesting.
138
685283
2569
11:27
Mohsen is first once again on today's Live chat.
139
687952
5205
11:33
I have a feeling that Mohsen
140
693157
2636
11:37
might be the new champion.
141
697028
3070
11:40
I think so.
142
700098
1501
11:41
Congratulations, Mohsen.
143
701599
1635
11:43
You are first on today's live chat.
144
703234
11078
11:54
A big hello to Mohsen.
145
714312
2135
11:56
It's nice to see you here today and congratulations for being first on the live chat.
146
716647
6340

1868
12:16

736400
2269
12:19
Vitesse is in third place.
152
739036

4471
12:41
By the way, do you like my new T-shirt?
160
761692
2269
12:44
This is a t shirt that I had made last week.
161
764395
4237
12:49
And it is something that I'm trying,
162
769300
2636
12:52
something that I'm experimenting with.
163
772670
2269
12:55
That's all I'm saying.
164
775439
1435
12:56
So here is a t shirt
165
776874
2803
13:00
that I had made, especially for me last week.
166
780077
2569
13:03
So I'm going to show you now.
167
783114
1735
13:04
You've never seen it before.
168
784849
1668
13:06
It's the first time that I've showed it to you.
169
786517
3136
13:09
I will I will take a step back so you can see my t
170
789687
3270
13:12
shirt clearly.
171
792957
5872
13:18
And it says, I am an English addict.
172
798829
2970
13:23
I'm not
173
803300
334
13:23
saying anything else, but I will give you a little clue.
174
803634
3070
13:27
You might be able
175
807004
2436
13:30
to get your very own English
176
810274
3237
13:33
addict t shirt.
177
813644
3570
13:37
How does that sound?
178
817214
2503
13:39
That's all I'm saying.
179
819717
1001
13:40
For now.
180
820718
534
13:41
I'm not giving anything else away, but I am at the moment in the gauci
181
821252
4604
13:45
ations to get myself some merchandise.
182
825856
5139
13:51
Oh, Mr.
183
831162
1334
13:52
Duncan, you are just like all the other big celebrities on YouTube
184
832496
5239
13:58
with their merchandise, so we will see what happens.
185
838469
4037
14:02
Anyway, I'm just experimenting at the moment it is nothing official.
186
842506
3804
14:06
If once I decide
187
846944
2469
14:09
what I'm going to do, I will let you know.
188
849413
2669
14:12
But I thought I would show you this today and to give you a little taste.
189
852082
3704
14:16
I do, do, do, do.
190
856387
3236
14:19
So now you know what I am?
191
859623
1568
14:21
I am an English addict
192
861191
2670
14:24
through and through.
193
864862
2035
14:26
Hello. Also, Claudia.
194
866897
1635
14:28
Hello to Claudia.
195
868532
2136
14:30
I suppose I should say.
196
870668
2535
14:34
What's cooking?
197
874638
834
14:35
Claudia, what have you got in your pot?
198
875472
2570
14:38
What's cooking, Claudia?
199
878642
2169
14:40
Is it something spicy and hot?
200
880811
2202
14:43
Is it something salty or not?
201
883547
2469
14:46
Oh, Claudia, what is in the past?
202
886016
4204
14:50
What do you have in your pot today?
203
890988
3070
14:54
What are you cooking for this Wednesday?
204
894058
3403
14:57
Oh, I suppose I should say congratulations
205
897828
3437
15:01
as well to the ladies football team.
206
901265
3837
15:05
England, the England lionesses.
207
905235
4004
15:09
They really did roar the other night.
208
909239
2570
15:13
They beat Germany.
209
913544
1167
15:14
Was it two one.
210
914711
1168
15:15
I think it was wasn't it.
211
915879
1535
15:17
It went into extra time.
212
917414
2336
15:19
And I think the final score was two one well done to the lionesses.
213
919750
4905
15:25
Women's football.
214
925055
1969
15:27
It is something that has been promoted
215
927024
3103
15:30
quite a lot over the past two or three years.
216
930127
2602
15:33
And now it would appear it would appear that it is official
217
933130
3537
15:37
women's football is here to stay, apparently,
218
937301
3236
15:41
although I do have a feeling that lots of men
219
941705
2402
15:44
like to watch the women's football
220
944408
3303
15:48
just in case they have a celebration kiss.
221
948745
3571
15:52
I think that's what it is.
222
952883
1702
15:54
So when they score a goal, they all come together and maybe they hug and maybe some of them will kiss.
223
954585
5472
16:00
And I think that's why many of the men are watching.
224
960057
5772
16:05
And if that is the reason, how dare you?
225
965829
2136
16:08
How dare you?
226
968165
867
16:09
As Greta Thunberg would say, if I can find it,
227
969032
4538
16:14
I'm. Where is it? Gone.
228
974738
2302
16:17
Come on, Greta, where are you?
229
977040
2303
16:19
Oh, there it is.
230
979343
1034
16:20
How dare you?
231
980377
2102
16:22
Thank you, Greta.
232
982579
2169
16:24
It's been such a long time since I've heard from Greta.
233
984748
2769
16:28
What's what's happened to Greta?
234
988885
2203
16:31
I think she may have grown up into a big girl now.
235
991088
3770
16:34
I think so.
236
994858
1301
16:36
So maybe she's decided to do something else with her life.
237
996159
3270
16:39
Hello. Also to that Zeekr.
238
999863
2269
16:42
Hello. Is that Zeekr?
239
1002165
2136
16:44
Nice to see you here today.
240
1004301
1802
16:46
But on a serious note, congratulations to the England football team.
241
1006103
4638
16:51
Women's football men's football.
242
1011108
3336
16:54
It's all good fun, apparently.
243
1014444
2069
16:57
Hello, Utterback.
244
1017581
1234
16:58
Hello to you as well.
245
1018815
1302
17:00
Nice to see you here today on the live chat we have a busy one coming up today.
246
1020117
5939
17:06
We are looking at words and phrases
247
1026056
3403
17:09
connected to something quite simple.
248
1029459
2770
17:12
However, you might be surprised to find out
249
1032696
3069
17:15
just how complicated it is.
250
1035866
3103
17:19
We are looking at words and phrases
251
1039870
2202
17:22
connected to way w i
252
1042072
4371
17:27
and we will be looking at that a little bit later on.
253
1047244
3069
17:30
Anything else to mention?
254
1050680
1502
17:32
Oh, yes. Some good news, everyone.
255
1052182
3170
17:35
Guess what has returned to the back of the house?
256
1055886
3870
17:41
They have returned.
257
1061291
2035
17:43
The calls have come back.
258
1063326
2303
17:46
Can you believe it?
259
1066096
1401
17:47
So we thought that they had gone.
260
1067497
2703
17:51
But apparently the farmer had taken them to another field nearby.
261
1071067
4138
17:55
And so a couple of days ago,
262
1075538
2203
17:58
I was surprised to find that the cows were actually back in the field.
263
1078575
4137
18:02
And they're there.
264
1082712
1202
18:03
They are actually there again.
265
1083914
2569
18:06
They've returned this time. There are six of them,
266
1086483
3236
18:11
five black cows and one brown cow.
267
1091187
3838
18:15
I haven't had a chance to film them yet, but they are outside at the back,
268
1095358
4705
18:20
feeding busily.
269
1100630
3337
18:23
Hello.
270
1103967
634
18:24
Also to obi trees,
271
1104601
4671
18:29
Beatrice says nice news.
272
1109272
3303
18:33
You will be an uncle soon.
273
1113476
2303
18:36
Is that me?
274
1116946
1001
18:37
Are you talking to me or is this.
275
1117947
1669
18:39
Is this someone else?
276
1119616
1067
18:40
I wonder.
277
1120683
1001
18:41
Mm mm.
278
1121684
2636
18:44
Mm hmm.
279
1124888
2135
18:47
No. The live stream was not late today.
280
1127023
3003
18:50
I was on time.
281
1130427
1401
18:51
I started today's live stream on time.
282
1131828
3403
18:55
I know on Sunday I was late, but I had a very good excuse why?
283
1135832
4538
19:00
I was late on Sunday.
284
1140370
2502
19:02
As you know, I went to a wedding party last weekend
285
1142872
3737
19:07
and let's just say we went to bed very late
286
1147177
3036
19:10
and I was feeling a little rough in the morning.
287
1150814
4637
19:15
Hello,
288
1155952
601
19:17
Abu Ghali.
289
1157587
1802
19:19
Hello to you.
290
1159389
801
19:20
Nice to see you here as well.
291
1160190
2969
19:23
I can't read Arabic, unfortunately, but thank you for joining me anyway.
292
1163159
5039
19:28
It's very nice to see you here.
293
1168198
2602
19:30
Try not to melt in the studio, Mr. Duncan.
294
1170800
2636
19:33
I will try not to melt here today.
295
1173436
2803
19:36
But it's so hot in the studio.
296
1176573
2535
19:40
Hello. Also to Bruno.
297
1180777
1935
19:42
Hello, Bruno.
298
1182712
1068
19:43
Nice to see you here. Hello, Mr. Duncan.
299
1183780
2269
19:46
But. But I don't want to say hello to the wasp.
300
1186749
2469
19:49
I think it's gone now.
301
1189886
1902
19:51
I think the wasp has gone.
302
1191788
2002
19:53
I think.
303
1193790
500
19:54
I think it's flown out of the window, which is good news for me.
304
1194290
3771
19:58
Hello.
305
1198928
401
19:59
Also to who else is here today.
306
1199329
3103
20:02
Oh, hello to Inaki.
307
1202432
3470
20:05
Nice to see you here as well.
308
1205935
2803
20:08
Louis says, have you been told off by the farmer
309
1208738
3570
20:12
when you are walking along or walking amongst his wheat?
310
1212775
4905
20:18
Uh, well, if you remember, a few years ago,
311
1218181
4304
20:22
I got into a lot of trouble when I was filming some sheep
312
1222819
5138
20:28
in one of the farmers fields around here.
313
1228691
2870
20:31
I got into a lot of trouble.
314
1231928
2302
20:34
One of the farmers came over and he was very angry
315
1234764
4838
20:41
with me.
316
1241337
1435
20:43
He was not a happy farmer, let's just say.
317
1243840
2936
20:47
However, yes, on Monday I was out and about walking around the corn field.
318
1247110
5538
20:53
And I suppose sometimes
319
1253382
2937
20:57
sometimes it's very hard to resist
320
1257720
2136
21:00
walking amongst the crop, especially when it's beautiful.
321
1260623
4905
21:05
There is nothing nicer than a wheat field
322
1265795
3470
21:10
that is there in front of you,
323
1270266
2102
21:12
and it's very hard to resist walking through it.
324
1272368
2703
21:15
You really want to.
325
1275404
1302
21:16
You can't stop yourself.
326
1276706
1701
21:18
It is almost like
327
1278407
2303
21:21
something you can't stop yourself from doing.
328
1281110
3103
21:25
So yes, I did walk through the field,
329
1285648
1868
21:27
but fortunately the farmer did not see me.
330
1287516
3003
21:31
And one of the things that
331
1291854
1668
21:33
I have to remember about living around here is many of the farmers
332
1293522
5139
21:38
also have guns as well,
333
1298661
5839
21:44
which does not fill me full of much joy, to be honest.
334
1304500
5339
21:49
When I am walking around, I always wonder sometimes if one day I'm going to get shot
335
1309839
4538
21:54
by a local farmer.
336
1314844
3904
21:58
Maybe. Maybe not.
337
1318748
1167
22:00
Hello.
338
1320850
300
22:01
Also, Abraham, nice to see you here as well.
339
1321150
3270
22:04
A lot of people joining in today. Hello.
340
1324587
2803
22:07
If it is your first time on the live chat, please tell me
341
1327390
3803
22:11
and I will say a special hello to you as well.
342
1331494
3637
22:15
The cows have come back.
343
1335931
2136
22:18
Yes, they have. They've returned.
344
1338134
2702
22:21
And I will try to film them this week for Sunday.
345
1341170
5005
22:26
I will try to do that.
346
1346175
2002
22:28
I did mention the Garden a few moments ago and I thought it would be nice
347
1348177
4171
22:32
to take a look at one of the flowers that is growing.
348
1352715
2903
22:35
It is actually a beautiful plant
349
1355985
2402
22:39
that will will grow every year.
350
1359155
2469
22:42
And this particular plant is called a Dahlia.
351
1362057
4305
22:46
And we're going to have a look at it right now.
352
1366362
2202
22:48
And there it is. So this is
353
1368564
1802
22:51
the dahlia
354
1371634
1234
22:52
that we have growing in the garden, however unfortunate that early this year
355
1372868
4171
22:57
this particular plant is not looking very well
356
1377373
2469
23:00
because of all of the intense heat
357
1380242
3037
23:04
and dry weather that we've had over the past few weeks.
358
1384113
3937
23:08
So so for those asking, Mr.
359
1388584
3136
23:11
Duncan, we haven't seen your dahlia this year.
360
1391720
3404
23:15
There it is.
361
1395558
1434
23:16
But it's not looking very well at the moment.
362
1396992
2503
23:20
Unfortunately, we have give it lots of water.
363
1400095
3137
23:23
We did give it a lot of water in the evening.
364
1403232
4104
23:27
But unfortunately, during the day time,
365
1407870
2335
23:30
it dries completely.
366
1410706
2836
23:33
And by the end of the day, all of the leaves are dry
367
1413709
5072
23:38
and there is no water left in the pot.
368
1418781
2669
23:41
So every night we have to put some more water
369
1421884
2335
23:44
and we have to water the dahlia almost every day.
370
1424820
4104
23:49
And there you can see it isn't looking very well.
371
1429692
2802
23:52
I have to say this year, Mr.
372
1432928
3504
23:56
Steve's lovely Dahlia is not looking very healthy.
373
1436432
5438
24:02
But I do remember on Sunday somebody on Sunday mentioned
374
1442504
5639
24:08
that they have some dahlias growing in their garden.
375
1448243
4004
24:12
So that's the reason why I'm showing that today.
376
1452748
3036
24:16
Sadly, because of the hot weather
377
1456618
2436
24:19
and because of the extreme dry heat
378
1459755
4004
24:24
that we've had here, many of the plants have been suffering.
379
1464159
4538
24:28
In fact, I can tell you something now in the south east of England,
380
1468964
5906
24:34
they've had no rain for almost I think it's almost two months.
381
1474870
6240
24:41
They've had no rain and now it's really dry.
382
1481410
3203
24:44
In fact, certain parts of the south east of England have now started to ban
383
1484613
5906
24:51
the use of hose pipes.
384
1491186
3270
24:54
So people have been told that they can't go into the garden
385
1494456
2903
24:57
to water their plants, and that is in the south east of England.
386
1497659
4338
25:02
So officially in the south east of England,
387
1502297
4038
25:07
there is a shortage of water.
388
1507035
3671
25:11
Fortunately, around here we don't have that problem.
389
1511640
4204
25:15
There is still plenty of water in this particular area.
390
1515844
3837
25:19
So at the moment there are no restrictions,
391
1519948
2503
25:22
no bans, nothing.
392
1522684
2536
25:25
So we can still water our plants in the evening.
393
1525621
3737
25:30
Hello, Sapphire.
394
1530792
1602
25:32
Oh, Sapphire says, please.
395
1532394
2536
25:34
Can you give me a special? Hello.
396
1534930
2469
25:37
It is my third time here.
397
1537833
2402
25:41
Hello, Sapphire.
398
1541970
1535
25:43
Or should I say hello, Sapphire?
399
1543505
2903
25:46
It's nice to see you again.
400
1546808
2236
25:49
With your third visit to my stream.
401
1549311
5539
25:54
Thank you very much.
402
1554850
2802
25:57
Is that okay? Did you enjoy that?
403
1557652
2169
25:59
I hope so, yes.
404
1559988
3937
26:03
The dahlias.
405
1563925
1335
26:05
Oh, you could see that beautiful dahlia just outside the window.
406
1565260
4972
26:10
Yes, the dahlia that we have at the back of the house is just outside the kitchen window.
407
1570232
5772
26:16
So every day we can look outside and enjoy the sight of the dahlia.
408
1576271
5806
26:22
Oh, talking of plants, I'm going to show you now a very beautiful garden.
409
1582077
6473
26:28
This is not my garden that I am about to show you, but this is a beautiful garden
410
1588750
5939
26:35
that that is in much Wenlock The place where I live.
411
1595056
3804
26:38
Would you like to have a look at it?
412
1598860
1602
26:40
So look at this.
413
1600462
967
26:41
So this is a garden and I suppose
414
1601429
3370
26:44
you would describe this as a wild garden.
415
1604799
2470
26:48
So everything that you can see in that particular garden
416
1608136
3137
26:51
and they are all meadow plants such as Heather.
417
1611273
3336
26:55
So there is a lot of Heather you can see at the front of the house
418
1615510
3003
26:58
and this is a very well known house.
419
1618513
3537
27:02
In fact, this particular house has been on television
420
1622317
3170
27:06
many times because of the beautiful garden that surrounds the property.
421
1626054
5839
27:12
So if you look closely, you can see there are lots of wildflowers.
422
1632294
3670
27:16
So the people who own this particular house have decided
423
1636331
4838
27:21
to grow lots of wildflowers.
424
1641770
2569
27:24
Heather, you can see there are some some purple Heather's
425
1644940
4137
27:29
and I think also some pink Heather's as well.
426
1649744
3103
27:33
But this particular house is in much Wenlock
427
1653114
3404
27:37
and and it's very well known
428
1657485
2570
27:40
a lot of tourists who come to visit
429
1660055
4104
27:44
much Wenlock they often go to this house
430
1664492
3237
27:48
and stand outside and they will take photographs
431
1668263
3236
27:52
because well, it's quite nice, to be honest.
432
1672167
3003
27:55
It is a stunning garden.
433
1675336
3871
27:59
I'm sure you will agree that it is a rather nice garden.
434
1679207
4671
28:05
Hello, Isabella.
435
1685113
2302
28:07
Isabella Burmester talk.
436
1687415
2403
28:10
Hello to you.
437
1690251
835
28:11
I think I am here for the first time.
438
1691086
3136
28:14
Hello to Poland and also hello to Isabella.
439
1694489
3637
28:18
Oh, I suppose I should say welcome, Isabella.
440
1698293
3537
28:22
It's nice to see you here.
441
1702530
2937
28:25
I hope you enjoy the show and if you don't,
442
1705467
3603
28:29
please don't go.
443
1709637
3637
28:33
Hello.
444
1713274
334
28:33
Also to Vittoria as well.
445
1713608
3604
28:37
What a beautiful original house.
446
1717412
2602
28:40
Yes, the house that I just showed you
447
1720248
2536
28:43
is actually one of the original cottages that was built.
448
1723117
3471
28:47
I think.
449
1727155
467
28:47
I think maybe it's around maybe 150 years,
450
1727622
4471
28:52
120 years, perhaps so.
451
1732093
3070
28:55
Many of the cottages that were built originally are over
452
1735163
5305
29:00
100 years old, and some of them are in very good condition.
453
1740468
4872
29:05
They have been restored, which is quite nice.
454
1745440
3270
29:10
Another quick nature video that I want to show you
455
1750078
3937
29:14
is in the front garden of my house.
456
1754382
4438
29:19
A lot of people will remember
457
1759387
2436
29:21
that there is a very unusual plant growing in my front garden.
458
1761823
4137
29:25
Would you like to have a look at it?
459
1765960
1735
29:27
So this is something that I filmed on Monday
460
1767695
3771
29:32
in my front garden,
461
1772166
2937
29:35
and this particular plant is one
462
1775103
2702
29:38
that returns every year to say hello.
463
1778206
3570
29:41
And this year it looks magnificent.
464
1781776
2669
29:44
So this particular plant is called a car dune
465
1784712
3070
29:48
or some people call it a signora car, don't keyless.
466
1788483
4771
29:54
It can also be called the artichoke, the vessel,
467
1794021
2603
29:56
the car down, the cardone, the car.
468
1796991
2836
29:59
Danny All the car.
469
1799827
2303
30:02
D So this particular type of plant is a thistle
470
1802130
4671
30:08
and you can see
471
1808736
1101
30:09
at the moment they are growing quite fast.
472
1809837
3370
30:13
They love the hot weather, they like the dry weather.
473
1813574
5139
30:18
So this particular plant really does enjoy the dry season.
474
1818980
5138
30:24
And there you can see a lovely close up
475
1824719
2469
30:27
shot of that particular plant.
476
1827188
3003
30:30
But the reason why I'm showing you this is because this year it has gone crazy.
477
1830491
5372
30:36
I've never seen it grow so well.
478
1836497
2436
30:39
In fact, at the moment it is taller than me
479
1839500
3337
30:43
and I am over six foot.
480
1843538
2869
30:46
So this particular plant is very tall at the moment
481
1846407
3570
30:50
and it's it seems to be thriving.
482
1850511
2836
30:54
I like that word.
483
1854248
1669
30:55
Thrive if something is thriving,
484
1855917
5038
31:01
it means it is living, it is surviving.
485
1861355
4572
31:06
It is very healthy.
486
1866594
2235
31:09
Something that thrives is something that survives,
487
1869330
4237
31:14
something that stays in very good health
488
1874068
3036
31:18
is something that is thriving.
489
1878039
2869
31:21
So there you can see
490
1881342
1168
31:23
a particular plant called a car dune.
491
1883577
4271
31:27
And the reason why we bought this particular plant is because it is called a car.
492
1887848
5105
31:32
Don't kill us.
493
1892953
2036
31:35
Look at that.
494
1895289
834
31:36
Isn't that beautiful?
495
1896123
2436
31:38
So during the summer months, there will be
496
1898559
3203
31:43
some lovely purple flowers that open out. And.
497
1903230
4638
31:47
And these particular flowers drive the bees crazy.
498
1907935
4571
31:53
The bees love these plants
499
1913007
2769
31:55
very much.
500
1915776
4805
32:00
So the reason why we bought this is because it has the word trunk
501
1920581
4171
32:05
in the name because of course, my name is Duncan.
502
1925853
3337
32:09
I couldn't resist buying it.
503
1929757
2002
32:13
So it's nice to see you this year.
504
1933327
1702
32:15
At least one of the plants in the garden
505
1935029
2736
32:18
is doing well.
506
1938566
4871
32:23
In fact, it's looking rather healthy at the moment.
507
1943437
3003
32:27
Very nice.
508
1947308
2969
32:30
I hope you enjoyed that.
509
1950277
1335
32:31
I'm showing you a lot of things at the moment.
510
1951612
2469
32:34
Today we are looking at words and phrases connected
511
1954348
3904
32:38
to way the way
512
1958485
3037
32:41
to do something, the way to find a place,
513
1961789
4204
32:46
the method of doing something,
514
1966327
2769
32:49
how you do it, your behaviour.
515
1969296
3103
32:52
So all of those things can be used
516
1972766
2636
32:56
when we are talking about the way you do something,
517
1976170
4371
33:00
the way you move, the way you behave.
518
1980874
3704
33:04
All of that coming a little bit later on.
519
1984945
2202
33:08
Of course, I just mentioned that nature
520
1988382
2369
33:11
and it would not be alive English dream
521
1991118
4037
33:15
without seeing some of the beautiful nature that exists
522
1995656
4237
33:19
in this particular area
523
1999893
2403
33:33
through
524
2013140
1001
33:59
the football.
525
2039800
32399
34:35
It has been a busy time in the garden
526
2075102
3136
34:38
this year, especially with the birds.
527
2078772
3737
34:42
The breeding season for many birds is now coming to an end.
528
2082709
4538
34:48
But I have to say one of the most successful
529
2088081
4038
34:52
breeding seasons for one particular bird
530
2092886
3237
34:56
at least has been the Robin.
531
2096290
2669
34:59
I can't remember a time where I've seen
532
2099326
3136
35:02
so many robins in the garden.
533
2102529
2669
35:05
In fact, a couple of days ago I was watching all of the young robins
534
2105499
4738
35:10
coming into the garden to feed, but also there were many adults as well.
535
2110237
4604
35:15
And it wasn't one moment
536
2115342
3003
35:20
though there
537
2120180
1134
35:21
must have been about seven or eight robins
538
2121314
2770
35:24
all feeding at the same time, which is very unusual
539
2124818
4438
35:29
because I have to say robins are not very sociable animals.
540
2129456
4805
35:34
They don't normally like the birds
541
2134261
3603
35:38
and quite often they don't like other robins.
542
2138198
2869
35:41
So I was surprised to find so many robins
543
2141368
3370
35:45
feeding in the garden the other day.
544
2145005
2769
35:47
A very unusual sight.
545
2147774
1969
35:49
Unfortunately, I didn't have time to film it,
546
2149743
3904
35:54
but it was quite remarkable.
547
2154047
2402
35:56
Another bird that has done very well this year
548
2156950
2603
35:59
during the breeding season is the black bird.
549
2159986
2837
36:03
There are many young blackbirds, lots of blackbirds this year have been produced.
550
2163156
6907
36:10
They have hatched out from their little eggs.
551
2170197
3370
36:13
So it's been a very good year for two particular birds,
552
2173934
3270
36:17
the blackbird and the robin they seem
553
2177204
3069
36:20
to have had a very successful year
554
2180273
3671
36:24
with breeding and also raising their young
555
2184444
4538
36:29
a little bit more nature, of course.
556
2189783
2836
36:32
Yes, no problem.
557
2192686
1334
36:34
If you want to have some more nature, then don't worry.
558
2194020
4905
36:38
We can have some.
559
2198925
834
36:40
I won't complain
560
2200694
1268
36:41
about that.
561
2201962
59058
37:41
It would appear that a lot of people seem to like that particular video.
562
2261020
4939
37:46
The cows at the back of the house.
563
2266359
2369
37:48
Now, that was around two years ago.
564
2268928
2703
37:52
So the cows that we have now at the back of the house are completely different.
565
2272131
5072
37:57
Cows.
566
2277337
1368
37:58
But those were the cows that we had with us for a few months, way back
567
2278705
4004
38:02
in, I think it was 2020 during the pandemic.
568
2282709
4704
38:07
And there were some cows at the back of the house and we had a lot of fun moments
569
2287814
5272
38:13
watching them, feeding them, and sometimes
570
2293453
2969
38:17
sometimes we were chased by the cows.
571
2297523
3237
38:20
A lot of people are actually afraid of cows.
572
2300760
4738
38:25
They always worry that maybe the cow will will chase them
573
2305565
3970
38:30
or maybe will will trample over them
574
2310403
3604
38:34
with their big heavy feet.
575
2314974
2536
38:37
The only time you have to really worry about cows
576
2317510
3370
38:40
is if they have young cows, if they have calves with them.
577
2320880
5639
38:47
So if there are cows in a field with young cows,
578
2327253
4304
38:52
my advice is always
579
2332592
3036
38:55
stay away, don't go near them,
580
2335862
3103
38:59
because that is one of the few times that a cow
581
2339465
2670
39:02
will actually attack a person.
582
2342135
2402
39:05
One of the few times there are many times
583
2345138
2636
39:07
that a cow will actually attack a human being, but I can guarantee one of them is
584
2347774
5405
39:13
when the cows are looking after their young,
585
2353179
2970
39:16
they become very.
586
2356649
2703
39:19
And if a person will walk through the field, if they if they insist
587
2359352
4137
39:23
on walking through the field,
588
2363489
3537
39:27
you are you are literally putting your life at risk.
589
2367026
3403
39:30
There have been incidents where people have been trampled to death
590
2370429
4739
39:35
by cows who have been disturbed
591
2375868
2970
39:38
when they are trying to look after their their young.
592
2378838
4004
39:43
The nature around you is wonderful for Mr.
593
2383810
3069
39:46
Duncan. Thank you, Beatrice.
594
2386879
1935
39:48
You are very kind to say that I've always wanted
595
2388814
4739
39:54
to live in the countryside since I was a child.
596
2394153
2936
39:57
Now, I was very lucky when I was young
597
2397423
2736
40:00
because the place where we lived was very close to an area that was near a river,
598
2400159
5973
40:06
so we could actually walk for just a few moments from the house where I was raised.
599
2406132
5472
40:12
And we could just go to this lovely meadow area.
600
2412138
3603
40:15
And there was also a river there as well.
601
2415741
2670
40:18
In fact, we used to go fishing in the river, but not for fish.
602
2418678
5405
40:24
We used to actually fish for a certain type of,
603
2424817
3871
40:29
I suppose you would call it a shellfish called a crayfish.
604
2429121
4238
40:33
Crayfish.
605
2433626
1034
40:34
Have you ever seen a crayfish?
606
2434660
2236
40:37
They are quite unusual creatures.
607
2437596
2403
40:39
They look a little bit.
608
2439999
2035
40:42
They're not exactly the same, but they look a little bit like a lobster,
609
2442034
3971
40:47
but they are actually black.
610
2447139
2169
40:49
And we used to go fishing for crayfish.
611
2449308
3103
40:53
And what we would do, we would take a piece of string and we would put it in the water
612
2453212
4238
40:57
with a tiny piece of meat on the end.
613
2457850
3270
41:01
And then the crayfish would come up and they would try to to grab
614
2461654
4838
41:06
hold of the meat with their claws, and then the string would move
615
2466492
5772
41:12
and you would take the string out of the water, and there you would have a crayfish
616
2472665
4471
41:18
on the end of your string.
617
2478270
2837
41:21
So it was always interesting to do that.
618
2481107
2068
41:23
And of course we did not keep them.
619
2483175
2202
41:25
We put them back in the water afterwards.
620
2485377
2269
41:28
But it was a bit of fun.
621
2488280
1835
41:30
A nice little innocent childhood game that we used to play,
622
2490115
3971
41:35
but no crayfish were harmed
623
2495020
2336
41:38
during our playtime.
624
2498424
1568
41:39
You will be pleased to hear hello to.
625
2499992
2803
41:42
Oh, hello, love, love, hello, love, love.
626
2502828
3037
41:46
Nice to see you here.
627
2506065
1401
41:47
The cows made me remember when I lived in my native country, Guatemala.
628
2507466
4471
41:52
I used to live in a farm and we had lots of cows.
629
2512504
3604
41:57
I have a secret fantasy.
630
2517243
2802
42:00
Would you like to know what my secret fantasy is?
631
2520045
3571
42:03
My little fantasy is to work on a farm,
632
2523616
3436
42:08
maybe not permanently,
633
2528320
1902
42:10
but maybe just for a few weeks just to help out.
634
2530222
3337
42:14
And there are some local farms around here,
635
2534260
2369
42:16
and I've always wanted to actually spend a few weeks
636
2536629
3870
42:21
helping a farmer to do some of their work
637
2541066
3704
42:24
or some of their chores.
638
2544803
3404
42:28
I don't know why I quite like the idea.
639
2548207
2702
42:30
I like the idea of maybe one day I wish this fly would leave me alone.
640
2550909
4805
42:36
There's a fly now buzzing around me and it's very annoying.
641
2556115
3403
42:41
Yes, I
642
2561053
434
42:41
would love to work on a farm, maybe for a few weeks.
643
2561487
2802
42:44
We will see what happens in the future.
644
2564723
1802
42:46
Hello, Ash Bar or Brau?
645
2566525
3103
42:49
Hello to you. Nice to see you back here today.
646
2569661
3137
42:53
Unless, of course, it is your first time on the live chat today.
647
2573198
4471
42:57
We are looking at one particular subject.
648
2577669
2636
43:00
We will be looking at the subject of
649
2580305
2536
43:04
ways, the way to do something,
650
2584810
3837
43:09
the way to somewhere, the way you behave.
651
2589081
5505
43:14
All of that coming up a little bit later on, in fact, in a few moments time,
652
2594820
4571
43:19
right after this.
653
2599725
81247
44:40
And the rabbits, some of them young, some of them
654
2680972
8342
44:49
not so young, the garden, although, to be honest, I haven't seen them for quite a while.
655
2689748
5839
44:55
So maybe they are
656
2695587
1602
44:58
they are
657
2698156
534
44:58
they are in the woods at the moment, enjoying the shade
658
2698690
3704
45:10
activity.
659
2710869
500
45:11
But they do
660
2711369
2470
45:15
it is English and it with me, Mr.
661
2715607
3737
45:19
Duncan. Hello.
662
2719344
1702
45:21
Thank you for joining me on this Wednesday.
663
2721046
2102
45:23
We have now entered August. Wow.
664
2723481
3771
45:28
This year does seem to be going by quite quickly.
665
2728286
3203
45:31
And it is my birthday in nine days.
666
2731690
2736
45:34
Nine days from now it is my birthday.
667
2734426
4104
45:38
I wonder I wonder if I will get lots of lovely
668
2738530
3904
45:42
cards and greetings and maybe even some donations as well.
669
2742434
4738
45:47
That would be ever so nice.
670
2747505
1535
45:49
And then I can carry on doing this for a little bit longer.
671
2749040
5239
45:54
Is that a good idea?
672
2754279
1868
45:56
I hope so.
673
2756147
1335
45:57
Today we are looking at a particular subject.
674
2757482
3170
46:00
I always like to show you something on Wednesdays, a certain phrase or a certain topic.
675
2760685
6073
46:07
And today we are looking at words
676
2767025
3670
46:10
and phrases connected to way.
677
2770695
4305
46:15
And of course this word can be used in many ways.
678
2775000
3203
46:18
It can be defined in many ways it can be used
679
2778203
4037
46:22
in many ways as well.
680
2782807
2102
46:25
So when we look at the word way, often
681
2785677
2669
46:28
we are referring to the root.
682
2788346
3737
46:32
The root.
683
2792784
1134
46:33
When we say root, we mean the direction or part
684
2793918
4071
46:38
or maybe a certain direction that you have to follow
685
2798823
4305
46:43
or something you have to do to get from one place to another.
686
2803261
5072
46:48
We describe it as the way
687
2808633
2436
46:52
maybe a method, the way
688
2812237
2402
46:55
you do something may be direction and very similar to root.
689
2815006
5572
47:00
So we often think of following a root and going in a certain direction
690
2820778
5106
47:05
as the same thing, very similar.
691
2825884
2869
47:09
You go in a certain direction,
692
2829087
2002
47:11
you follow a certain route,
693
2831990
2836
47:15
you go in a certain way, you follow that way.
694
2835293
5439
47:21
Also, we might say a person's manner, the way they behave,
695
2841633
4304
47:26
the way they behave towards other people, their attitude.
696
2846337
4004
47:30
And let's have a closer look, shall
697
2850942
3370
47:34
the path to or from something or somewhere.
698
2854379
4304
47:39
For example, you might say you need to go
699
2859517
2703
47:42
this way,
700
2862954
2869
47:45
you need to go that way.
701
2865823
3370
47:49
So when we talk about the way in which a person
702
2869894
3036
47:52
must move or travel, we are saying, you must go that way.
703
2872930
5306
47:58
You must go this way.
704
2878569
2403
48:00
Quite often, if we are given two
705
2880972
2402
48:03
possibilities or two ways,
706
2883641
3804
48:07
we will say You can go that way
707
2887779
3270
48:11
or you can go this way, you can go this way
708
2891449
4404
48:16
or you can go that way.
709
2896654
2436
48:19
So quite often we will say this old fact
710
2899090
3403
48:22
you need to go this way.
711
2902927
2136
48:25
You can go this way, you can go that way.
712
2905797
4471
48:31
You need to go this way.
713
2911736
3236
48:35
You need to follow this path.
714
2915640
3370
48:39
You need to follow this particular route
715
2919210
3804
48:43
to get from one place to another
716
2923714
2269
48:48
the method or process
717
2928019
2869
48:51
to do something or the process of doing something.
718
2931389
3770
48:55
There is an easy to grow tomatoes.
719
2935927
3737
49:00
This is the way to grow tomatoes.
720
2940131
3236
49:03
So in these sentences, the word way
721
2943634
2803
49:06
is being used to mean method
722
2946737
2903
49:10
or the process of doing something.
723
2950141
3003
49:13
We are saying that if you follow these instruction runs
724
2953477
4004
49:17
or if you do something with this method,
725
2957782
2969
49:21
then that is the best way to do it.
726
2961752
4238
49:26
So when we use the word way, we are defining the method
727
2966557
4671
49:31
or the process to do something,
728
2971395
2403
49:35
another way of using way
729
2975533
3203
49:38
can be an instruction given as a guide.
730
2978736
3604
49:42
So maybe you are showing someone how to do something.
731
2982506
4538
49:47
You are showing them the way to do it.
732
2987044
3637
49:50
For example, you can see here, you can see there are some instructions
733
2990982
4838
49:56
for a remote control.
734
2996687
2269
49:58
It is showing you the way to use it.
735
2998956
3404
50:02
So this particular instruction
736
3002893
3070
50:06
is showing you how to do it, the way to do it.
737
3006630
5539
50:13
We can also have a map
738
3013270
2269
50:15
as well.
739
3015539
1302
50:16
You can have a map.
740
3016907
1936
50:19
A map is something that is very useful.
741
3019310
2636
50:22
As you can see, a map is something
742
3022880
2436
50:25
that can be used quite often.
743
3025316
3069
50:28
When you want to get from one place to another,
744
3028385
2703
50:31
you are finding your way.
745
3031655
4105
50:35
You are going in a certain direction.
746
3035760
2669
50:39
Can you tell me the way to the nearest ATM
747
3039330
3403
50:44
here?
748
3044068
634
50:44
Let me show you the way that this map
749
3044702
3336
50:48
will show you the way.
750
3048405
2870
50:51
So when we talk about way
751
3051275
2069
50:53
in this particular sense, are talking about
752
3053344
3003
50:57
a guide to finding somewhere,
753
3057248
2636
51:00
a guide to to getting from one place to another.
754
3060384
4905
51:05
Or of course, we can use it as an instruction as well.
755
3065289
6974
51:12
Another use of way
756
3072263
2669
51:14
may be a person's attitude or manner.
757
3074932
3837
51:19
So the attitude or the manner of a person
758
3079270
4270
51:23
can also be described as their way,
759
3083974
3637
51:28
the way they behave, the way they treat other people,
760
3088178
4872
51:33
their attitude or their manner.
761
3093550
2837
51:37
You have
762
3097855
834
51:38
a strange way of eating food in that sentence.
763
3098689
5138
51:43
We are saying that the person we are talking to eats their food
764
3103827
4572
51:48
in a very unusual way.
765
3108799
2669
51:52
Their method of eating is unusual.
766
3112169
3270
51:56
They have a very strange way of eating some people say, Mr.
767
3116106
5639
52:01
Duncan, you have a strange way of teaching English.
768
3121745
4872
52:07
It is very strange.
769
3127051
3303
52:10
We can also use this positively.
770
3130354
2502
52:13
The way you treat other people is amazing.
771
3133157
3637
52:17
So maybe if you are offering a compliment, but
772
3137661
2736
52:20
maybe you want to say something nice to another person
773
3140931
3403
52:25
you are describing the way a person
774
3145502
2903
52:28
behaves towards other people,
775
3148639
3336
52:32
the way you treat other people is amazing.
776
3152743
3503
52:36
We are describing that person's manner,
777
3156547
3870
52:40
the way they behave, the way they treat other people.
778
3160417
3570
52:45
It is a compliment.
779
3165355
2102
52:47
I suppose you might say that
780
3167925
1635
52:49
someone can have a strange way of doing something
781
3169560
4671
52:55
in that particular sentence.
782
3175132
2202
52:57
We are saying that the thing they are doing is unusual
783
3177334
3837
53:01
or odd.
784
3181805
6273
53:08
In this particular sense.
785

You have to go a certain way along the road.
981
3935824
4504
65:40
Maybe you have to turn left or turn right.
982
3940929
3169
65:44
You have to go that way or this way,
983
3944499
4504
65:50
this way or that way.
984
3950705
2536
65:54
You have to go in a certain direction.
985
3954275
3771
65:58
You have to take a certain way.
986
3958046
2569
66:02
An instruction given
987
3962350
1702
66:04
to show the direction one must travel in
988
3964052
2269
66:07
for example, on a road or path.
989
3967088
3470
66:10
So once again, we are talking about direction and also instruction.
990
3970959
4237
66:15
You are being instructed you are being told
991
3975663
3037
66:18
which way to travel
992
3978900
3370
66:22
or which way to go.
993
3982537
2069
66:26
Finally, this is one
994
3986107
2469
66:28
that is often used in business for those learning business.
995
3988576
4104
66:32
English the road ahead.
996
3992680
3003
66:36
Oh, when we talk about the road ahead,
997
3996017
3603
66:39
we are talking about the future, the road ahead.
998
3999654
4838
66:45
We are using this figuratively.
999
4005593
2669
66:48
So we are talking about the future.
1000
4008696
2536
66:51
All plans, the things we plan to do in the future.
1001
4011532
3704
66:55
The road, road ahead,
1002
4015903
1836
66:59
the way in which we are going.
1003
4019006
3137
67:02
So the way
1004
4022877
2169
67:05
can be also defined as the future.
1005
4025880
3070
67:09
The road ahead is the way ahead.
1006
4029283
3137
67:13
The road before us is the way we must travel.
1007
4033154
4871
67:18
And quite often we use this to show the future
1008
4038659
3471
67:22
something we plan to do in the future.
1009
4042797
2569
67:26
The way ahead.
1010
4046134
5672
67:31
I hope your future will be bright and sunny,
1011
4051806
3136
67:36
just like the weather is today here in the UK.
1012
4056277
4504
67:40
I will be going in a few moments.
1013
4060781
2036
67:44
Another one I didn't mention.
1014
4064318
1502
67:45
There is another one a person can be way ahead.
1015
4065820
4171
67:51
It means they are in front.
1016
4071225
2169
67:53
So a person who is way ahead
1017
4073394
2536
67:56
of another person is in front of them.
1018
4076797
2703
68:00
They are further ahead, they are in
1019
4080067
2736
68:02
front, they are further away.
1020
4082803
3204
68:07
The other person is behind,
1021
4087008
2535
68:09
but you are way ahead.
1022
4089543
3137
68:14
That, as they say,
1023
4094215
2169
68:17
is that it is time for me
1024
4097018
2602
68:20
to make my way out of the studio
1025
4100121
3003
68:24
and to allow you to continue with the rest of your Wednesday.
1026
4104358
3804
68:28
I hope your Wednesday will be nice and lovely.
1027
4108162
4638
68:32
I hope something nice will happen today to put a smile on your face
1028
4112800
5072
68:38

68:44

68:48
Vitus mentions a song by Greg.
1031
4128182
5105
68:53
Of course, the Allman Brothers were very popular.
1032
4133287
4138
68:59
Don't stand in my way.
1033
4139026
2069
69:01
Oh, yes, you stand in a person's way.
1034
4141162
3703
69:05
It means you are in their path,
1035
4145199
2936
69:08
you are blocking their way, you are trying to move forward.
1036
4148869
5973
69:15
But something
1037
4155242
2269
69:17
is in the way.
1038
4157511
2536
69:20
It is in front of you something that is blocking you is in the way.
1039
4160681
5339
69:27
Good one.
1040
4167254

69:27

69:41

1045
4181936
4204
69:46
but I promise I do look at all of the messages later on

2703
69:53
