Learning English - Late and Live - 16th May 2018 - Risk - Royalty - Rhododendron

I decided to do something very daring this morning I decided to take a risk

because the weather forecast for this area today was rainy with lots of

showers across the whole area despite that I decided to take a risk and hang

my washing out on the line unfortunately we did have some rain

although having said that the afternoon was lovely and sunny so in the end my

risk paid off it was successful my washing is now lovely and dry what

about you do you ever take risks would you describe yourself as a risk taker

the thing that follows next is definitely not risky in fact it would be

fair to say that it is lovely and safe because it's Wednesday night here in the

UK it's just after 10 o'clock and this is late and live English

Dibby Dibby Dibby Dibby you yes we are back live it is a Wednesday night as the

guy on your screen just said yes we are here once again hi everybody this is mr.

Duncan in England how are you today are you okay I hope so

are you happy well are you happy I really really hope so here we go again

Wednesday has arrived we have made it halfway through the week how has your

week been my week has been so busy for those who were watching last week you

will know that we had a special guest staying this week so my studio was taken

to pieces everything was changed here in the studio everything was altered all of

my studio was packed away and then we had a special guest arrived it was of

course mr. Steve's mum we had a lovely week and the weather here was incredible

so I must say mr. Steve's mother picked a very good week to come here it has

been a good week and the weather today was a little strange in the morning a

little unsettled we had lots of rain this morning unfortunately as I

mentioned earlier but my washing is dry so I took the risk I put my washing

outside to dry and I took the risk and the risk paid off because this afternoon

it was very sunny and all of my wet washing dried out so the risk did pay

off but what about you do you like taking risks would you describe yourself

as a person who likes to take risks are you a daring person if someone is very

daring they will try things that maybe they

haven't done before or maybe they will try something that is considered as

dangerous maybe or risky so what about you do you ever take risks all the

weather today has been a little unsettled but tonight ah tonight the

weather was lovely we had a lovely sunny evening and there you can see the garden

tonight as the Sun was going down and it was a beautiful evening there you can

see many of the plants many of the flowers are now coming out in bloom

they are blooming you can see in the distance there you can see some slight

yellow blossom on the the Burnham tree laburnum and there you can see some

lovely bluebells Oh are they lovely so lots of bluebells

are out at the moment in fact they are a little late this year they normally come

out at the beginning of spring but they are a little late this year but I really

love bluebells they are very attractive plants very beautiful flowers I don't

think they smell they don't really have a scent as such but they still are very

nice flowers indeed so there are some bluebells and look look what I noticed

today look the rhododendron is finally coming

out so the flowers on my lovely rhododendron brush my rhododendron has

decided to start flowering

if a plant flowers it means that the lovely petals come out so flower can be

a kind of verb so there we go the Det rhododendron this is a lovely pink

rhododendron and the thing to remember about this particular plant is that they

can grow to a very large size you can get absolutely huge rhododendrons you

can they can grow to amazing sizes now this is not a rhododendron

I think this particular flower is a petunia I hope someone will correct me

if I'm wrong I don't mind being wrong but I think this particular flower is

called a petunia anyway according to Steve because Steve said that is a

petunia so so if I'm wrong then mr. Steve is wrong as well oh look there's a

little bumble bee buzzing around oh isn't that lovely so summer has

definitely arrived because the bees are now busy collecting all of the pollen so

they can go back to their hives and make some delicious honey for mr. Duncan's

sandwiches isn't that lovely so they're a lovely little bee collecting some of

the honey it is a very busy bee a bit like me really because I've been a very

busy bee this week I've been doing all sorts of things including taking my

studio to pieces and rebuilding it today because mr. Steve's mum went back home

last night so today I've spent literally the whole

day building and rebuilding my studio there you can see the beautiful lilac

bush in my garden and right now there is a lovely scent coming from this

particular Bush oh I love the smell of lilac do you do you like the smell of

lilac and there it is an overall view of the garden a very nice evening here in

the UK we have had a beautiful week the perfect week for mr. Steve's mother to

come and stay and she had a wonderful time we did a lot of things we went

exploring around much when Locke we went to visit the old Abbey in which when

Locke and we had a super time and I'm hoping that mr. Steve's mum will come

back she will return in maybe July or August for a few days so it was a great

time we had a wonderful time what about you how is your week being has it been

good we are talking about lots of things tonight first of all do you ever take

risks are you a person who likes to take risks are you a risk taker do you ever

do things that are risky maybe dangerous or maybe something that may or may not

go wrong so if you do something that might result in something negative

happening then we can call that a risk of course some risks are not dangerous

whilst other risks definitely aah so let's have a look at the live chat

because we haven't done that yet I can't forget the live chat because I will be

told off in no uncertain terms hello to everyone

Franco hello Franco hello Andy or should I say Annie hello Annie do grab I

didn't see the rhododendron coming out but it is so beautiful yes oh you've

never seen it before oh yes it's a wonderful plant very

beautiful Francisco says you have a very splendid backyard thank you very much

for that it is a beautiful garden and it takes a lot of care it takes a lot of

work trust me Andrew we have a web resource here

called planetarium and there you can find all of the names of the plants Oh

planetarium not a planetarium sorry that's my mistake

a planetarium where you can find all of the names of the plants you can put a

picture of an unknown plant to your plant to be recognized oh that's a good

idea is that an app is that is that a kind of

phone app I think it is ts is here hello TS I think you are first tonight weren't

you on the live chat I think you were actually first tonight Garcia says I am

NOT a risk taker I don't like to take risks

some people do you see they get a lot of excitement and quite a thrill from

taking risks doing things that are dangerous the flowers name is the same

it is Lai lakh or lilac yes lilac you are right

thank you Nazarene yes it has the same sound as the Turkish word for lilac

thank you very much for that Jeff onesie is here hello there to you

thank you very much jana 'the Mirian is here hello mr. Duncan my week is being

very nice it has been My Week has been nice the impression I have is that

nobody wants new things or to take risks because they are afraid to lose

popularity well one of the things that might be seen as risky is expressing an

opinion yes so maybe if you express your own opinion and other people don't

accept your opinion then that can be a risk Sergio is here

hello Sergio or Sergio hello mr. Duncan the most important flower in my country

is the all kid ah yes orchids are lovely they are very beautiful it is the

national flower and there is a wide variety of them variety so there are

many different types of orchid Pedro says mr. Duncan are you able to liberate

have quite a few people watching in Sudan so a big hello to you Nicole is

here I love flowers very much mr. Duncan you have

niphas on flowers in your garden when I'm very happy at the moment because all

of the flowers have just started to come out including my lovely rhododendron so

my rhododendron now is starting to bloom and I'm very pleased about that very

pleased indeed talking of plants I have a mystery plant to show you would you

like to have a look at the mystery plant here it comes here is the mystery plant

so this is something for you to scratch your head and think about for a few

moments what is this plant so there it is the

mystery plant now this is something that mr. Steve was given last year one of his

work colleagues gave him this plant so if you were watching last year you might

actually know you might actually already know what this plant is so there it is

looking very green it has just started to grow for this season so what plant is

that when mr. Steve arrives in around about five minutes

time I will get mr. Steve to give you the answer to the question because to be

honest with you this is actually mr. Steve's plant it's not my plant so there

it is the mystery plant what is it what is the mystery plant if you think you

know what it is then all you have to do is tell me on the live chat yes it's as

simple as that we have mr. Steve coming a little bit later on

yes mr. Steve he's on his way in around about five minutes time

it is late in life on a Wednesday night it's mr. Duncan that's me and tonight we

are asking some questions do you ever take risks of course life is full of

risks when you step out the house every morning there are many things that can

go wrong with your day so perhaps even just going outside for a walk can be

very risky so do you ever take risks one thing in particular might be investing

money maybe you invest money on the stock market so you might find that that

might be seen as something that is very risky

so do you ever take risks do you ever take risks in your daily life you might

do something dangerous maybe a dangerous sport maybe something that might cause

harm or even even death oh my goodness so do you ever do something do you ever

do anything that is seen as risky if you do let me know another thing I'm going

to ask later is do you ever watch television documentaries so a

documentary is something that is talking about a factual event or something that

is happening or has happened over the past year five years ten years or maybe

even a hundred years so documentaries information programs programs that give

you information about factual events real things real situations so that's

another thing I'm going to ask later on so mister Steve will be here soon I have

a feeling he is on his way to take us there I'm going to show you now an

excerpt from one of my full English lessons just to give you an idea

of the sorts of things that I do here right here on YouTube it's true

full English number fourteen and then hopefully mr. Steve will be here

cows in a field all being good cows in a field chewing the cud to chew the curd

as an idiom means to talk about general things in a friendly way or to consider

something carefully you are chewing the curd

just like this cow

these cows seem very friendly don't you think

can you see what I have on my back it is a very useful thing for carrying stuff

around and walks him it is a backpack a backpack helps to keep your hands-free

while carrying things you put stuff in your backpack so you don't have to carry

anything in your hands a backpack can be small and lightweight or it can be very

large and hold many things hikers often use backpacks so as to allow them to

carry many items at once safety equipment waterproof clothing

survival gear or even a fold away tent can be carried on your back using a

backpack the most common type of backpack looks like this something not

too large and not too small very convenient for when you have lots of

things to carry you can carry a small backpack over both shoulders or just

over one some backpacks even have wheels on them so they can be pulled around

like a trolley a backpack can also be called a rucksack

you are not going to believe what I'm about to say but say it I will most

native speakers of English make mistakes while using the language that is to say

in their day-to-day use of English there are many reasons for this first there is

the consideration of the accent being used some English accents clip or alter

the way in which English is used this applies to both British and American

English speakers the speed at which some people speak English changes the sound

of certain words if you add accent and speed together then you will get a very

different sounding version of English from a grammatical point of view

mistakes are often made by native speakers double negatives such as I

didn't do nothing are common in everyday speech the use of certain words can also

lead to mistakes being made confusion between words such as historic and

historical affect and effect elude and elude assume and presume these are just

some examples of common mistakes made by native English speakers

then there is the spelling of certain words native English speakers will often

spell certain words incorrectly good examples of this include amount

fascinate necessary definitely achieve acknowledge success

imitate familiar scissors and vacuum there are of course many others my point

here is that even though a person speaks and uses English as their first language

they will still be prone to making the occasional mistake it would be fair to

say that on a daily basis very few native English speakers get it

right all the time and that includes me

it is possible to have time on your hands to have time on your hands means

that you have plenty of spare time you are doing nothing at the moment you have

lots of time on your hands we can ask a person do you have time to

see me could you spare some time for me next week when are you free to be free

is to have spare time the word spare can also be a verb to spare some time is to

make sure you will be free you offer your time to someone at a certain time

you will be free and available time ticks by it never stops time marches on

the time and the place is when and where to run out of time is when all things

come to an end you are out of time

it's a Wednesday night and everything's alright

it certainly is all right now because yes he is here he's arrived looking so

happy because he's spent a few days with his mummy yes we are talking mr. Steve

hello that's definitely no everyone and welcome to my show no yeah mr. Duncan's

show sorry you know one of these weeks Steve is going to actually introduce

himself without shouting into my ear because you don't need to shout Steve

you're not on a stage now I'm just talking normally anyway today we're

talking about uses of the word set Jeff mentioned it are notices and Jeff Jeff

one said Jed are we talking about set Jeff my dear friend Jeff can I just say

something right now we are not I repeat we are not talking

about uses of the word set because we don't have tahleen we don't have time we

don't have time Steve I must obey you mr. Duncan they have to obey you are in

charge yes well that's true so when are we going to talk about uses of the word

set I don't know someday someday it will happen I will have to set a date we've

got one in we've talked about uses the word set mr. Duncan's just said one ah

right we have the live chat because Steve was getting very excited yeah so

on the live chat let me just see if I can scroll down because when I did this

last week it was an absolute disaster I scroll back that's not going to work

let's just see if oh there we go thank goodness for that yes I noticed

Belarus COCs got anemia fellow you Belarusian thank you very much for

letting us know and give us giving us something very personal there so yes

thanks for sharing it I am late today I've been to

the doctor and she diagnosed me with anemia so what's that Steve oh that

means that as Belarus you said there you've got a lack of iron a lack of iron

in your body and you your red blood cells the the the cells that make your

blood red need iron otherwise they can't carry oxygen around the blood

efficiently and it's part of a part of their construction they need lots of

iron and actually it's strange enough incidentally it's men very it's much

more common in women to get an emu than it is men because women obviously it

certain times of the month lose lose blood and that can build up over a

number of years and you can lose iron out of your body

so anemia is can be quite a problem by thinking quite a high percentage of

women I've heard as well during pregnancy people women can get an emu as

well during pregnancy that's right because they're obviously the demands on

the body are a lot greater I'm no expert in this but obviously if you're making a

new life inside you then you're going to and that that baby inside is going to

need iron to make the red blood cells as well and so yes if you do lots of

exercise if you're like a sports person you use more iron because your red blood

cells get turned over when I say turned over you use up more red blood cells so

yes it's it's quite a common problem particularly in women so you never you

never really think about this though I think a lot of people I bet you a lot of

people are anemic and don't even realize it they just think they're under the

weather and they don't even realize they are anemic

yes feeding tired it's one of the symptoms if you might get a bit out of

breath sometimes you might look a bit pale skin might be a bit pale because

you're a white person with white skin any

we might visit more easy to tell her and doctors tend to look in your eyes you

can tell by looking in your eyes I don't know what they're looking at but you can

tell it by so hopefully Belarus EU will get well soon it takes quite a while for

the body to to go back to normal after anemia it takes quite a while for the

body to make new red blood cells but yes keep taking the tablets as your doctor

would say yes so is it serious well it can be very serious if it's not

diagnosed early enough yes it can be serious but it's easily corrected hmm

and the doctor has obviously decided that you need some iron tablets and

that's the I believe a common way but the iron is in lots of foods but it's

they do it's difficult for the body to absorb iron and it's a good idea to take

vitamin C with it so eat some fruit as well because the body can't absorb iron

without vitamin C that's something I happen to know vitamin C is in in

vegetables leafy vegetables potatoes fruit citrus fruits in particular so the

doctor doctor might have said take citrus fruits vitamin C with with your

meals as well and that helps your body to absorb the iron

well even I'm learning something here oh I know everything mr. de idaero like

well I happen to know a few things about that but yes yeah

keep taking the tablets and you'll be well soon that's always that's always

the thing to do whatever the doctor says you must follow your doctor's orders

yes what we gonna say MX 25a has said they may need vitamin b12 that's a

different type if there is a different type of anemia where you've got a

vitamin D vitamin b12 deficiency I think that's different to what Belarus is got

which is an iron Alec an iron which is it's very easy for women to become

anemic mmm it not necessarily due to a poor diet at

all it's just that because women tend to you lose more iron than men yes then

it's easy over it happens over a long period of time so the demands on a

female that the female or the woman's body is is much more than on a male

that's right that's it because they have to constantly they have lots of changes

during the month and that means that their body is constantly doing all sorts

of things lutely losing lose they lose a lot more iron than men do in fact men

can tend to build iron up in their body oh if you eat too much red meat and that

there is there can be a problem where you have too much iron oh my goodness in

your body because once it's in the body can't get rid of it so with like with

everything you think you've got enough but also you can have too much yes you

can't you can have too much iron yes you can have too much vitamin D as well

and you could have too much vitamin A the two vitamins that build up in your

liver so you certain vitamins you shouldn't

supplement on unless you've got a problem yes because they can build up in

your body and this is something that's happened over recent times because

people have become more I want to say obsessed they are they have become

obsessed let's be honest in fact I mean they're taking more sort of bitumen

pills and things that they don't really need to take they are and with I and

they don't really recommend you take ions a lot of vitamin supplements now

don't have iron in them because unless you need iron you shouldn't definitely

shouldn't be taking it as a supplement unless you've got a medical condition

like Belarus here there which will which will correct the problem very easy to

control so we wish you well with that yes and you'll be doing marathons yeah

in a few months time I don't know I don't know why that's worthy of a shout

well I'm just talking normally yes that's not really normal talking all the

time tonight we're talking about do risks now I know Steve is not a person

who takes risks now I took a risk I know what Steve

is thinking now because he knows what I'm going to say next I did take a risk

I decided to take a risk when I went to work in China I suppose leaving home

traveling thousands of miles to take up a job and and you knew nothing about

where you were going or what was expected of you so yes I suppose that

might be a risk what about you Steve do you like taking risks I take risks on

the road yes and somebody mentioned I can't remember who it was now said said

that you because it's gone past now that in business you need to take risks and

you hang you do need to take a bit of risk in life otherwise you'd otherwise

you don't you don't achieve your full potential and you can take risks that

are measured risk so in other words it's a risk but you always know there's a way

out of it or it's not going to be a total disaster

as long as you've got a fallback plan ie you've got some some some other plan to

fall back on if it goes wrong hmm but we do need to take risks in life I mean you

take a risk with this yes we take risk going live because we could say

something they were not supposed to say or we could look silly this is something

I've said before about doing live-streaming anything that's live and

spontaneous there is always an element of danger or risk and as I said earlier

just stepping out of your door in the morning you are taking a risk because

there are all sorts of things around you that could be described as hazards

actually one of the the biggest risks that most of us take in our day to day I

mean unless you're I mean risky things are things like you know parachuting or

dangerous sports and bungee jumping if you do things like that there

a risk and a lot of people like to do take a risk because it gives them a buzz

give them an adrenaline fix but a lot a lot of things you know you can you can

forgot lost my train of thought you see there was a risk I started a sentence I

didn't didn't know what I was going to go with it well the other the other risk

that I mentioned Steve was of course financial risk so maybe you invest money

on the stock market or you you gambled your money maybe you like to bet on the

horses or maybe you like to go to the casino so you might call that risky so

certainly where money is concerned a lot of people do take risks so might maybe

they invest money in their business so if you have a business and you invest

money in it or into it you put money into your business maybe your business

will go wrong and fail and you lose all of your money yes sometimes sometimes

that happens but hello from Exeter we've got somebody there Wilson Cheng is in

Exeter which is a a town in England hello Wilson Cheng thanks for joining us

yes I hope you will be very well soon oh thank you Anna

that is Anna sending a lovely message to belarus belarus iya who's not feeling

too well I don't like to hear of my students being under the weather we have

a mystery plant tonight mr. Steve a mystery plant the one in the middle well

it's not on the screen yet there it is so there is the mystery plant now I know

you know what it is so this is the plant that was given to you last year by one

of your work colleagues that's right and it's one of those amazing plants that

will will die away in the winter and then regenerate in the spring so it's an

annual flower perennial or perennial Oh mr. Steve is correcting me their

perennial perennial which means it comes out

year after year after year so what's an annual plant an annual plant is a plant

that only lasts for a year I always say plant the seed it grows it flowers its

seeds and then it dies and the new plants only come from the seeds see it's

strange there because something that's annual to me is always yearly yes an

annual report so it happens every year so that's good can I just say that's a

little bit confusing for those who don't know a lot about plants I always thought

that an annual plant was one that came up every year but in fact it's perennial

perennial which means every year whereas an annual plant as I said you grow it

from seed lots of lots of weeds that you see around our annual and what they call

annuals they just they in one season they rule that the seeds will grow

they'll flower they'll produce new seed and they'll the seeds will be scattered

and then the main plant dies and then the new seedlings come again in the

spring I wasn't sure if you're going to lose your train of thought again they're

not this time I've got at this plant here you're looking at now is not fully

grown yet yeah this I did mention that this has just started to grow again I

started to grow again but it's it's also a plant and it needs a lot of

maintenance as well you have to take a lot of care of these plants so so at the

end of the season you have to treat them in a certain way

you have to make sure that they stay stored I could give a clue

okay give give a clue not a big clue I'll give a clue okay it's a it's a

tuber okay you know the plant has a tuber there's another type of unused

round tube that's a type of soil that's a type of musical instrument

tu BER Donkin that that gives you a clue a definite clue oh definitely yes has

nice flowers ornamental flowers okay so yes a Sioux cat says a perennial loses

its leaves is that right yes yes we are definitely yes all right well yes

exactly so the difference is with a perennial it will lose its leaves but

something that the root will still be alive

or the stem might still be alive but it will regenerate again from its roots in

in the spring whereas the annual plant will completely die away the leaves the

stem the roots they'll all die and the the new plants only come from the seed

oh and lots of weeds that you see growing around are like that yes I'm

just trying to think of a common one one we've got in the garden busy Lizzy oh oh

yes of course I like I like the busy Lizzie is it is a plant nice little blue

flowers but it's an annual so you have to put you have to put new seeds in

every year I look at the plants won't come back from the roots busy Lizzie's

are lovely because they spread very quickly and they've got these lovely

beautiful bluish bluish flowers they're very nice and they spread very quickly

my grandmother used to have a lot of busy Lizzy's in her garden she loved

them so much and she used to tend to them every year so she had lots of

borders with lots of busy Lizzy's yes myself they self-seed yes me it's okay

Steve it sounds like Steve maybe needs to go to the doctor Mirian says there

are many economists recommend to invest in a private pension uh-huh what about

it private pensions now this is something you know a little bit about

because because well let's just say that you are thinking about that part of your

life as yes as you approach a an age yes well it's it's it's too late

to start thinking about a pension when you starting doing your 10 years off

retiring mm-hmm if you I'll tell you something and I I

didn't take too much notice of this and I read a book in my twenties if you put

away 10% of your wages and save it in a safe pension scheme and you did that for

and you worked for 30 or 40 years 40 years you'd have enough you'd probably

be a millionaire well probably have saved enough money in 40 years to be

able to retire very early so you can ten fifteen percent of your wages if you can

save that much every year just put it in well it depends what country you and

it's difficult it's difficult to sound I'm gonna find actual advisor by any

means I'm starting to notice that but yeah he saved 10 to 15 percent of what

you earn however why you want to do that if you

want to depend what see some stock markets in certain countries it would be

very risky but certainly Europe England America places like that fairly safe

overall over 20 30 40 years you're gonna get your money back and more and you'll

probably be able to retire at 50 oh yeah there we go

I didn't take that advice as where I'm still working there's no good saving for

a pension when you're in your mid 50s is too late yes it's too late but there are

lots of these 50 plus plans now there's a lot of companies now allowing you to

start saving for I suppose it's a bit like life insurance or maybe a pension

so something that may be paid to you a lot of people now of course are putting

their house as a way of securing money when they're old so maybe they own their

own house and then they put their back their money or their their house and

they give it to the bank and then the we'll give them money so when when they

die the bank automatically takes their house from them or more they take part

of the value of the house so there are many ways of investing in your future

now many more ways than you that exist that's called equity release equity so

the equity is the thing that you have equity is the value of your property yes

and if you're short of money in retirement you can go and you've paid

for your house you're already you can go to your bank

and say I'm short of money I want to sell 20% of my house or 50% of my house

to you and then when I die you have half the house but of course a

lot of people won't want to do that because if they've got children they'll

want to probably leave that to their to their right their children it's really

quite good if you've got no children and you don't want to leave money to anyone

yes then you could say to the bank you can have it all when I died give me the

money yes sir that's what's he released because it's

very costly yes if borrowing money you do you do end up paying for it somehow

maybe you pay for it after you're dead and maybe your children will lose out as

well yes I'll go wait there a second a lot of people asking about busy Lizzie

there it is busy Lizzie I hope I spelt it right busy as in very busy and Lizzie

as in the name Elizabeth so busy Lizzie there it is for those who were asking

for the actual spelling there it is a beautiful flower that grows everywhere

around the girl I'd BBI Zed Zed why really I think it might be a cup we need

to google that okay I'm going to put busy just in case

here we go just in case that doesn't seem right

ie I think if for goodness sake Steve make your mind up so it might be that

but I think it's busy Lizzie maybe someone can google it but it will come

up anyway it will come up anyway if you even if you search and you silent if you

spell it incorrectly it will still give you the alternative

or the correct spelling that's the beautiful thing now about the internet

it will even correct you when you're wrong I like that so we have the live

chat lots of people talking about risk tonight Connell says I think I took a

risk when I accepted the marriage proposal after after a month of our

acquaintance oh I see so you only knew the person for one month and then they

asked to marry you Wow after just four weeks Wow

all I can say is they must have really really liked you it must have they must

have really felt in love with you that's all I can say but so you do hear of

people doing that sometimes they meet somebody within days they've asked them

to marry them because they just know that's the right person for them is the

mystery plant a hydrangea oh no it's not but but they actually another nice plant

hydrangeas are very nice but again they take a lot of maintenance it doesn't

have this what Nicole yes I can see why you said that the leaves at this stage

of the plant and the size of it you could mistake it for a hydrangea so

there it is again but it's not fully grown that's the key thing it's going to

get a lot taller than that it's going to get maybe about four or five foot tall

okay I will give you another clue and this is a flower this is a plant that

produces many many flowers so and this is something I noticed last year I

couldn't believe how many flowers this plant produces so every time the flowers

wither away some new some new flowers actually grow and take their place it's

incredible so I was really really impressed by just how many flowers this

produces Garcia Eagle it's just tuber so you'd just tu BER you

don't want the USA on the end that's that's the type of plant it is

it's a plant with under the ground it has a tuber which is a fleshy mass from

which the plant springs back to life in the in the year not safe though it is in

the spring tuber stores water in there that the plant I think and and then all

the leaves shrivel away in in in the winter and you have to keep this plant

is very susceptible very susceptible to frost so it doesn't like cold weather so

in the the plant is actually I think it's from it maybe from South America

it's certainly from a hot country where it you don't get any frost because in

England to have these plants on display in your garden you can't keep them out

during the winter you have to dig up the tuber which is a big mass under the

ground and store it somewhere where it won't go below freezing you know what

you know what these plants that the roots on these plants always remind me

of potatoes they look like the tuber does look like a big potato because a

potato itself is a type of tuber as I understand it is your eye right yes so

it is in fact a potato is is in fact the class the classification of potato I

know this is tuber so it is a type of tuber and we eat the tuber yes we

actually eat so we're basically eating the root of

the plant it's it's a wave the plant I think it stores stores water and

nutrients Cuba which pudding then which would explain why potatoes are so good

for you I think so can't keep potato I want of potatoes you

can't keep potato tubers in the cold they have to be stored in above freezing

base is it is it a chrysanthemum chrysanthemum that's another that's

another horrible horrible flower to actually spell

when I was at school they would always ask us to spell chrysanthemum and also

rhododendron horrible horrible words that it's not a chrysanthemum it's that

kind of plant that's used for ornamental purposes in a garden and it uses a sort

of a show-off plant very showy sort of plant to have in your garden yeah and

you normally have them in in you don't normally put them in the ground you

normally have them in pots so displayed so your your work colleague is crazy

about this particular type of play he's crazy about them and he has them all

over the place so so he gave you one of him them last year now I think we might

got a winner we might have a correct and so we do I must say Nicole and Sue cat

are very active tonight very active but the winner is oh yes it looks like

Nicole Nicole has got it it said that word is pronounced Dahlia Dahlia Delia

so you have actually spelt it right it does have an H in it yes day-day Lea but

you don't actually pronounce the H so it's just day Lea Nicole was so sure

that further down she's asked again Oh si is it a day Lea it is a day dia yes

so here it is for those who are wondering the plant in question is a day

Lea and it has beautiful flowers absolutely stunning flowers sending

flowers this particular difference types of daily and they all have different

colored flowers this one is a deep red one but you get some that are orange

sundar to blue and it continually flowers throughout the summer whereas a

lot of plants they just flower and then they're gone whereas the daily will

flower for like two or three months so there it is Adalia and when this

comes into flower when the flowers start being produced I will show you the

result I will show you this particular plant in full bloom raffia fall says

Dahlia as in Portuguese it may well be it is from a hot country that it does

come from a hot country so it could Rabi from Portugal somewhere like that yeah

so Dahlia as in Portuguese so yes it might so you think it might come from a

place called a Lea oh it could be yes yes because sometimes no sometimes well

it might be that might be the spelling in Portuguese you see so there we go yes

yellow plants and you can get sort of hybrid plants where they you get and

sometimes the flowers you get double double or two colors in the same flower

that's that's unusual isn't it yes but sometimes it'll be red tinge to tinged

with orange you might get red and orange in the same same flower the flower heads

are quite big they're about that big yes I think they really they bloom out and

they look at they look magnificent but as I said earlier when the flower fades

away new ones take its place yes for the whole year you just get new

flowers coming out where is with with normal plants they just go hello and

then they wither away and die not the Dahlia they're hard they take a lot of

effort hard work because you've got to take them up in this at the end of

autumn store them somewhere safe away from Frost's and then you've got to put

them back in you got to put stakes sort of canes in to support the flowers they

need a lot of water but you know they look lovely and it's worth the effort if

you like plants they get lots of them they attract the flowers themselves

attract a lot of insects and you get loads of flies and

earwigs OS so beastly things all all like to live in the flowers there's a

whole ecosystem going on this is the thing I noticed last year when I visited

your friend and he said that they did you do need to take a lot of care of

them so if you have lots of them I think you spend most of your time taking care

of the dailies to be honest you just mentioned insects didn't you we're gonna

have a look at a very interesting insect in a moment I used to have one daily err

but sadly winter came along and it died yes they will die if you don't store the

route indoors you have to take it indoors or else the cold weather and the

frost will just destroy it yes you have to dig it up and store it somewhere away

from the frost so that but and they don't and they they don't like wet

condition dealers when they're not growing you see what Nicole said there

yes I had many dahlias but the snails love to eat daily leaves yes yes that's

why it's quite a good idea to keep them in a pot in a in a pot on your patio or

near you deserve then you can you that the snails can't get to it that's it and

also you can move them around so if you see the snails coming if you see the

snails coming from far away you can actually you have plenty of time to move

the pot so the snails can never get to them because the snails move so slowly

you see so you you you always have time to move them you see so here we go he's

a very interesting insect for those who don't like no it's not on scream yet Oh

Steve I love it when Steve reacts but the thing isn't on the screen yet it's

it's just on the preview so Steve can see things before you I just love the

way you react prefer it actually appears on the screen just in case anyone thinks

you're having a seizure it looks hideous submit ah this is this

is my new friend this is this is this is Boris this is Boris the beetle

and this was sitting on my step the other day but you're not going to

believe what this is called now this has two names this particular beetle isn't

that just beautiful what a stunning creature how big is it give us some idea

because on that it it could be it looks like it's about two foot long where you

will see in a minute because you will see my finger approach the insect but

this has the most amazing name well it has two names in fact it's moving it's

common name yes it's moving because I'm nearby it is

called the May beetle and there is my finger giving it an O like I'm stroking

it you see I'm giving it a little little stroke he seems to like it as well it's

not nice that's my new friend that's Boris the beetle so it's called am a

beetle May beetle but also it can be called a cockchafer I am not joking

you're joking miss I am not joking it's on the screen it's on the screen there

so the other name it has is cockchafer i i i can't even imagine

i can't even begin to imagine how he got that name but that is its alternate name

but most people know it is am a beetle but it's it's also called a cockchafer

maybe if you get them inside your pants it it chafes your something if we chase

something ok don't explain what that means

well well gee I'm about to so the apparent of the name comes from its

movement because it's a very erratic insect and if you've ever seen them fly

around they make a very loud buzzing noise they make a sort of

noise so when they go past you can really hear them but they don't seem to

have a very good sense of direction because they always bang into objects

and we often when we're sitting outside you're in the summer you can hear these

banging into the window and they really do look clunk into the window or even

against the wall of the house so they are very very they're not the most

careful of creatures so what do they come so it's may now obviously is that

what is that when they start to come out I would imagine that's when they start

to come out they normally appear around May in early June so that's when they

are most abundant so there it is once again the May beetle do we know they've

got a claws on its legs do we know what it eats it eats insects it eats insects

yes it's a carnivorous yes it feeds on insects not lance then not plants as far

as I'm aware it's not plants it's a carnivorous beetle I think they

aren't they aren't considered dangerous but they can be a pest oh oh no wait

there a second I've just remembered they do eat leaves

sar they eat especially crops and apparently in some parts of the UK every

year they get lots of these invading their fields and they can be a real pest

so the May beetle does eat vegetables it's it's not carnivorous I'm wrong yes

for a moment there so it doesn't it doesn't eat other animals at all other

insects no and it certainly doesn't eat humans it looks as if it might be very

dangerous but it isn't apparently it's very harmless to humans that's good to

know so have I so you could have you could have got your finger bitten off

there mr. doe yes but I was stroking it it seems to be enjoying it look oh it's

not lovely he's having he's having a lovely afternoon there and the

interesting thing is why was it just sitting there on the step I think it was

tired I think do you think he would just hatched out and it was a bit tired

I'm not sure it looks very clean and new it's an amazing creature I think it's a

beautiful beautiful claws on the end of its feet yes it's gone now bye alright

let's go off the screen now oh yes steve is still admiring the preview oh

yes yes it's it's wonderful but no one else can see it unfortunately how it is

talking of seeing things we have the live chat oh my goodness how beautiful

it is to take many photographs I love to take photos of all kinds of creatures

thank you sue cat for that is it a cannibal as far as I know it isn't III

did make a mistake I I thought it at other insects but apparently it eats

leaves but a cannibal is something that eats the eats its own yes so if you talk

about cannibals human cannibal is somebody that eats other human being yes

so a cannibal eats its own touch ain't lying kind but I always find this quite

interesting when we talk about birds of prey because birds of prey eat other

birds so technically even though they're not

eating their own species they are still eating other birds

so are they cannibals or are they not cannibals because birds as far as I'm

aware our birds so a black bird or a Robin or a chaffinch or a vulture or an

eagle or around here we get lots of buzzards so during the day you can see

the buzzards circling in the sky and sometimes you can hear them calling and

we have sparrowhawks and they all eat other birds but I think the definition

of a cannibal look this that would be we have to eat its own kind yes so a

buzzard would have to eat another Buzzard but

to be called a cannibal hmm you have to eat exactly its own kind its own species

but it's not far off though is it it's not far off know because we've it

there's only there aren't different types of humans there's only one human

species if we you know if we're cannibals but we can only eat other

humans but I mean we eat other animals yes there aren't any other species of

human being so that's it I suppose yes that might be the reason why we don't

eat monkeys or any any any creature like that because they resemble exactly if

you had among well yes some countries eat monkeys in fact there's a problem in

some countries with monkeys populations dying out because they're considered a

delicacy don't tell mr. Lomax about this he'll be very upset mr. Lomax won't like

this Nicole we think mr. Duncan believes it's not a carnivore a carnivore is

something that eats meat to meat or flesh

we think it's vegetarian oh well maybe Nikolas found out ah maybe it's a

carnivore it is is it well as I understood oh so uh

was I right the first time in Japan we can see the same kind of insect it has a

shining green color yes in in certain light it does look it does look

different but yes you're right yeah I think actually it comes from overseas

anyway I don't think it's its native of this country I think it's it's actually

made its way over here it's said it's some as I understand it up again I might

be wrong in Japan we can see this kind of insect yes Thank You Mika nice to see

you here tonight by the way a big hello to Japan rifle or rifle apparently

monkeys are eaten in the Amazon by Indians yes I've seen that

Amazonian Indians oh my goodness ever be they've always eaten them you know

there's perfectly normal for them to eat monkeys well that's it you say imagine

because they've probably been eating them for thousands of years

one person sweet is another's sour so just because one person doesn't do

something it doesn't mean that you don't have to do it either so yes it's it's

the way it happens sometimes Adi is said there that of course the good example of

a cannibal in the insect world is a spider yes the female spider eats

the male yes after they've after they've copulated copulated yes that is mated

after yes after mating just does anyone still use the word copulate they do in

really natural history really I've you know I can't remember the last time I

heard anyone I've never heard David Attenborough say copulate I've heard him

say mate they reproduce or mate mated I can't

imagine I can't imagine generally use the word they're that technically that

is the correct word the two insects get together as they prepare to copulate Wow

no I don't think so spider has to be quick to get away you know Sir David

Attenborough was 92 last week wow that is incredible Sir David Attenborough 92

last week that sing Oh like I'd I don't know if he feels old

but I feel old knowing that he is 92 to be honest have you seen the video with

an eagle and a parachute where the eagle bumped into the least I don't know what

you mean by that do you mean that the eagle bumped into the person who have

the eagle had a parachute um maybe the eagle had a Parrish

yes maybe maybe it had some emergency yes its wings rose getting a bit tired

so it just deployed its parachute hello I'm very late I'm sorry but better late

than never as mr. Duncan says thank you man well welcome we are here for just a

few more moments and then we are gone but don't forget we are back on Sunday

live as live can be from 2 p.m. UK time so risk-taking I've always thought that

mr. Steve was not the type of person to take risks even though he said sometimes

he takes he takes risks in the car which he should not do ever excuse me less so

now I've got the burps I've got the burps and if when I tell you what

happened earlier III were I was eating my eggs

I had poached eggs and so did mr. Steve and then about half an hour afterwards I

had terrible indigestion I don't know why all of the acid was coming up from

my eggs in being eggs and beans at that that is a combination which is is

guaranteed to give you indigestion I'm starting to get the feeling that

indigestion indigestion is a sort of illness that people get when they get

older so I think a lot of people as to get older they get more problems with

with acid and indigestion so I had terrible terrible indigestion tonight

I'm sure you're all really pleased to hear that shadi says there that least

you can still use and you must know something about this

I still use the word copulate in zoology and paleontology it just doesn't sound

like a word that you would hear nowadays I don't know so what do you do for a

living that's interesting I I do you study fossils that's paleontology ZnO

and and zoology so yes so yes the word is still used but not that commonly you

wouldn't say it to your wife or husband would you you wouldn't said

what's the matter why are you looking at me something oh sorry I'm just studying

an old fossil thanks for that mr. Duncan that felt sweet as I was saying you

wouldn't say to your your wife or your husband or your girlfriend or your

boyfriend oh I'm in the mood tonight let's copulate no I think I don't think

anyone would say that maybe a zoologist would yes or a paleontologist do you

mean if to zoologists we're about to make passionate love and they said let's

copulate oh dear I think I think that would be a bit of a passion killer maybe

it's a turn-on to neurologists and paleontologists I don't think so so it

would appear that Citroen soo cat really just want you to watch petrol Isha's but

we haven't watched any of it you haven't let's write it down but there is a good

reason for it well petrol issues I will remember it don't worry but we've had a

very busy week because we haven't even mentioned mr. Steve's mum actually let's

just write it down mr. Steve's mother mr. Steve's mother

was here this week and we had the most amazing time because the weather was

incredible I don't know what happened I think your mum must have bought I think

she brought the weather with her that's what the neighbours said yes it's

incredible and and a beautiful beautiful day out we have three days of gorgeous

weather and then your mother went yesterday and then this morning it was

raining it was raining and it's cold again yes so I think so please please

Steve's mum can you please come back and please don't forget to bring the

sunshine with you as well we tried to persuade her to appear Oh on camera oh

but she was too shy that's a song isn't it

yes you were gonna sing it now no he was it by too shy it was by Katja googoo

googoo yeah - you're too shy shy hush hush I do I I like category but

I liked I like them mr. Duncan knows what I'm gonna say now when Lamar left

and Nick begs took over the vocals he's got an amazing voice and he's a very

good guitar player and that's I loved their album I think it was called island

life or something like that was it called that Islands it was called

Islands I I think I was slated by the critics but I loved it

yes anyway that's back in the early 1980s you know what no one cares about

kajagoogoo you listen look up kajagoogoo and listen to their album islands don't

it's very good I like their hair right geology department Oh interesting

I work as a demonstrator in the University of the Faculty of science so

I'm basically a teacher but still working on my Master's shardene tastic

shaadi yeah thank you sure I loved biology in science I still love doing

chemistry experiments when I was younger yes we know yes you tell us every time

we're on kindred spirits is the word hindrance spirits people who've got a

shared interest in something yeah kindred spirits

yes connected connected you've got connected by an interest connected by an

interest there we go well that was fastened it well that was scintillating

I just thought I'd may not mention the word so I thought I'd explain I was too

exciting for me that was and sook at husband and I are kindred spirits and

maybe sook out as well because we we like cars and we're going to watch

what's the name of the program again petrol ish Osetra licious we're gonna

watch that thought you get it write it down well I thought you said you could

remember it well I did I did remember it so I was right I did remember it

hi from Brazil hello from Brazil Danielle Danielle says hello from Brazil

a big hello to you as well is it your first time

have you visited Australia I've never been there for one good reason I could

never ever stand I could never do the flight I could never fly all the way to

Australia it would take far too long and I think I would go absolutely crazy if I

did it I really would so no I've never been to Australia the only thing that

puts me off the only thing that discourages me is the long flight but

apparently you can get a flight now directly to Australia but it still takes

about 17 hours they actually don't and they got that new plane that goes all

the way there well wasn't it a few days ago they did

it didn't they did they I knew it was coming back no it was happening rather

thought we watched it together oh I didn't think it was ready yet oh I see I

know I thought this was this visiting this was some sort of prelude to a

service that would get you but but you still have another five or six hours to

fly from where it lends I think it's Perth so what they're doing is they're

taking the shortest possible route so even though it's nonstop you still have

to get on another plane and fly to the other side of our strategy to fly to the

other side of Australia which which is still many hours because Australia is is

huge it's it's hard to appreciate just how big Australia here is its massive I

had some friends that went on holiday to Australia and they said they spent most

of the holiday either in Aero planes or trains or our own cars because to get to

anywhere it just took forever it's like America really yes

it's it's a bit like being in China you see you can't get anywhere quickly in

China you can't oh that's interesting Raphael

or not Raphael sorry sue can't no not sue cat either wait what am I doing here

am I having a seizure I love your curtains Manuel was the person I was

trained oh yeah I love your haircut I recognise your your icon yes

I love your curtains mr. Duncan are they the same as your as your first video

they are the same style but not exactly the same curtains but yes you're right

the curtains behind me are the same style as my first lesson lesson one yes

which now has over 12 million views oh my goodness well where are you from

are they not that a Spanish I think he might be Spanish in fact the the little

icon looks like someone from maybe spaniel and getting a bit of Renaissance

there taliano but a Renaissance coming through thank you I'm getting the

veterinarian living in Iraq a veterinarian yes I can be clever to be a

vet I can see now why they always shorten it to vet because veterinarian

it's very hard to say so if you if you're if you're a veterinarian do you

not like the word do you not like to be called a vet is Italy prepared to be

called a veterinary it shouldn't it be a veterinarian better veterinarian or is

that an old person better veterinarian I think it's actually pronounced vet and

vet and veterinarian that yes that's the reason why they shortened it to vet

because it's so hard to pronounce I have I think so so what's that what's a

veterinary a veterinarian that's that that's somebody who is an old person

isn't it a veteran a better or a veteran a veteran is it

well a veteran is a person whose beans been through something or has experience

of something so maybe we say a veteran from the war or a veteran from the the

certain period of time so yes a veteran well a good example of course is Vietnam

War the Vietnam veterans so people who fought in the Vietnam War

so yes veterans a person who has done something for a long time or has

experience you are a veteran of teaching English mr. Dunn oh dear you're a tenant

for a long time you're a veteran a veteran English teacher on YouTube now I

really do feel old and what an interesting moment of time to finish the

livestream how are we finishing we are going to go totally there we go

fan Tony I thought that was Italian yes thank you for telling us I got it right

as well we like to guess I got a half right I

got it right do I get a prize so we're back on Sunday talking about lots of

things including rare coins in your week in your Q about rare coins yes and rare

coins that's what we're talking about because and I will tell you why because

here in the UK we do something very strange now and again with our with our

money and we we make limited editions or limited versions of the coins that we

use in our everyday life and I think I have three very valuable coin really I

think so I'm not sure you've never told me about this before well I've been

hiding them away just in case is this your pension fund this is my equity I I

might need to release the equity I don't know when maybe soon maybe later

who knows so yes we'll be talking about coins so do you do the same thing in

your country do you have special coins that are only available or only made in

limited numbers and I will explain more about that on Sunday also maybe talk

about risk taking again about rare stamps well resource about stamps the

other day it was very interesting doesn't sound like it would be I was

falling asleep stamp collecting is not interested I saw a very interesting

program about it I never thought I'd be interested in stamp collecting philately

philately philately well done mr. Duncan yes I was wondering whether you'd come

up with her he was a friend of mine at school Phil atole and he was also a

stamp collector and I you pronounce that that came out all wrong why I'm not

gonna say why explain please I'm not sure I don't know what you mean

know is it's rude Bitcoin now we're not going to talk about bitcoins no not

bitch coin put bitcoins cryptocurrency cryptocurrency no none of that the value

of that is is certainly not rare No oh yeah now there's a risk talking about

risk if you're somebody who likes taking risk you will it you would be somebody

who would invest in bitcoins or crypto currencies because are they going to

become a main currency that their value is dropping falling run you would have I

would have a heart attack if I put money into bitcoins because they started from

nothing they went up very high and they crashed out of what they're doing at the

moment that's know once well no one's talking

about bitcoins anymore because we've all moved on at the moment all we're talking

about at the moment is the Royal Wedding so the Royal Wedding is coming this

weekend I won't be watching it because I have no interest in it whatsoever

ah but other people might yes I didn't say they didn't did I

so we should talk about it because if other people might be interested in what

we think well we know what you think about well we'll be talking about it on

Sunday because it'll be the day after but we won't be talking about it on

Saturday because we're not here and I certainly won't be watching it I think

we're going into town to have our lovely meal are we on Saturday I think so

Fernando commemorative coins that's right that's another yes they might be

commemorative but these are normal these are normal coins that are just spent

normally in the shops so Julia says I found today Peter Rabbit 50p and all I

have and I have all the Olympic coin collection oh well save that for Sunday

because we're talking about that sooo cat's grandfather collected stamps

a philatelist philanthropist I've got going that's it the energy is going the

adrenaline is pumping as certainly is I can see it running down your leg

oh no that's something else dangerous bitcoins yes they can be risky we are

talking about risk at least we have been because we're going now it's time to say

goodbye Julie's got a street party maybe but we haven't got an invite oh you're

having it on Sunday Oh Sunday Saturday because the wedding is on Saturday not

Sunday maybe maybe you're having the street party for me what's the street

party for Julie I'm interested now Julia what is the street party for I can't I

can't stand the tension please tell us is it for the royal wedding because if

so it's a day late it can't be I think so Geoff says goodbye and also every

Central Bank's coin such small I don't know what I mean sorry Sergio if you

have coins of course and you want to display them you would set them in a

mount no you wouldn't yes you would no you would net the coin I don't know what

you're talking about then it's time to go that's just for Jeff I know what I

know what Steve's trying for the use of the word set Steve is trying to sneak a

definition of set into my live stream you can't you can't so I'm looking

forward to seeing your valuable coin yes on Sunday that's happening so we will

see you on Sunday mr. Steve is going now it is for the royal wedding oh it is but

it's on Sunday maybe they're celebrating afterwards obviously they want to watch

the wedding on Saturday okay and then have a party afterwards yes is the

father going to turn up though No who cares does anyone care

you know I predicted all of this months ago I was talking to people and if I

might have even mentioned it on on mark one of my live streams months and months

ago I said that there is going to be an issue with the father because no one has

really talked about him and I said there will be some sort of issue or some sort

of problem and there we go she is in Walthamstow wolf them Stowe oh

not having a party that's a sneer yeah does that near London we could just we

could gatecrash that's near London it's down the old Apple impaired I did look

at that but but it's a bit far to go we live about 160 miles away I don't know

where Walthamstow is I cast near London is it anyway you're doing your live

stream up the old Apple and pears well have a lovely party and I'd mr. Duncan's

not not keen on the royal family but I'm sort of okay I'm not going to watch it

it's not that I'm not keen on the royal family what I kind of object to and I

don't want to get political here but I do object to having 10 years of being

told that we can't have any money or any increase in in wages or spending on

health care and then suddenly all of the people in this country who pay tax have

to then fund a royal wedding with lots and lots of posh people and eating posh

food and eating from gold plates well we'll play well we've had ten years of

being told that we can't have any money any extra money no more spending there

are cutbacks and all sorts of things and then we have a royal wedding last year

the Queen of England was given 46 46 million pounds to renovate Buckingham

Palace where it is an ash guess guess where that money came from

but 46 million it sounds a lot of money but it is a grand scheme of things in

there to look at the big picture yes so does it is it so don't forget every

every time a new a new baby a new royal baby hatches out to get in controversial

now is every time a new royal baby hatches out they push another one out we

have to pay for that we have to pay for that couples are the oil tax yes but you

have to also take into account how much money and income is generating from

tourism from the royal family now millions of people come to London every

year just to Buckingham Palace yes which generates a lot of income for

a lot of people go what the government a lot of people go up Mount Snowdon as

well yeah but that doesn't generate income for the economy it does well

first for Wales they bit of train it goes all the way to the top mr. Duncan

and you can see if you can see our house apparently if you go to the top of Mount

Snowdon and you look in a certain direction with

binoculars you can actually see our house so if you ever go up to the top of

Mount Snowdon and you look across can you can you give

me a wave playing on those right it's important for tourism oh it is yes I

think they make they generate I'm not saying this because I'm a realist I

think yes I think you're missing my point completely I think yes I think

they should pay for for anybody let's not get into that subject no I think

it's because we're about to go and are happy but the problem is I think Steve

is missing my point and the point is that they're saying to the average

person in the street that you can't have your health care and you can't have this

and you can't have that we're cutting back everything but we can always find

money for a new Royal baby to feed isn't that strange and when the Queen wants

Buckingham Palace all making oh I've got to rebuild that

it's us we have to pay for that so there you go I will get off my soapbox and I

will say see one Sunday that we ought not to end like that okay it seems a bit

let's cheer things up a bit shall we well that's really cheered me up

so those mr. Steve looking really happy we can tell that those aren't Steve's

teeth because they are not yellow and I will do I will see I will see one Sunday

are going now see you cats voting for you I really do have to go because I

think I've got deep vein thrombosis in my legs need to wear some stockings for

that can you look at my feet that they're going blue look that's the sock

look at my feet look look and do you like the new carpet I have a new carpet

now in the studio it looks it looks just like grass isn't I've been squashing my

well-known grass down no that's in the studio no it isn't that's Durkin look

look down as grass on the floor isn't that great I think you're tricking

people I'm not tricking anyone and you've been flattening my grass blades

right we're off okay so you're coming back on Sunday are you Sunday now I
