227126
1535
03:48
And it is another winter's day here
2
228661
4438
03:53
in the birthplace of the English language.
3
233933
3170
03:57
And you know where that is, don't you?
4
237103
2769
04:00
Of course you do.
5
240005
1702
04:01
If this is English addict coming to live in direct
6
241707
3737
04:05
from England,
7
245444
2236
04:10
then I am
8
250082
5139
04:16
giving you.
9
256989
4738
04:21
We are back together again.
10
261894
4538
04:26
Me and you.
11
266765
2002
04:29
Together once more. Hi, everybody.
12
269134
3270
04:32
This is Mr. Duncan in England. How are you today?
13
272404
3204
04:35
Are you okay? I hope so.
14
275641
1869
04:37
Are you feeling happy?
15
277510
1801
04:39
Are you feeling super duper today?
16
279311
2603
04:41
I really hope you are.
17
281947
2102
04:44
My name is Duncan. I talk about English.
18
284049
2503
04:46
I love English very much.
19
286552
1968
04:48
You might say that I am one of those up there.
20
288520
2670
04:51
I am an English addict.
21
291357
3036
04:54
And I have a feeling
22
294727
1268
04:57
maybe, perhaps
23
297129
2336
05:00
you might be one of those as well.
24
300833
2269
05:03
Here we are again.
25
303602
1035
05:04
Yes. We have made it all the way to the beginning of another week.
26
304637
5038
05:10
How has your week been so far?
27
310142
3036
05:13
Has it been a good week or has it been a load of rubbish so far?
28
313178
4972
05:18
I don't know really.
29
318183
1435
05:19
We had a lovely day yesterday, by the way.
30
319618
2169
05:21
We had some visitors come over and we went for a nice meal.
31
321787
4471
05:27
Very nice time.
32
327159
1668
05:28
Some lovely food.
33
328827
1936
05:30
And I tried something yesterday that I haven't eaten for a very long time.
34
330763
5872
05:36
I had and I know this might upset people
35
336635
3137
05:40
if you are a vegetarian or a vegan,
36
340539
2970
05:44
turn away now because I'm going to say something that might upset you.
37
344209
4705
05:49
Prepare to be triggered.
38
349648
1135
05:52
I had
39
352551
1435
05:54
pheasant yesterday.
40
354653
2202
05:58
It was rather nice.
41
358090
1134
05:59
A very strange meat.
42
359224
2403
06:01
It's it's rather like eating lamb.
43
361627
2702
06:04
I don't know why, but pheasant meat is very strange.
44
364463
3503
06:08
It's a little bit like eating lamb, and I'm not sure why, but it was very nice.
45
368000
4738
06:14
Much nicer than the first time I tried pheasant.
46
374006
4304
06:18
We had that somewhere else in much Wenlock,
47
378944
2369
06:21
and whilst eating it I noticed that there were lots of hard
48
381313
5005
06:26
lumps inside the meat and I realised afterwards
49
386652
4037
06:30
it was actually the buckshot.
50
390689
2569
06:34
The the things that they used to shoot.
51
394526
3037
06:37
The pheasants were still inside the meat. So.
52
397930
4070
06:42
So whilst I was eating the meat I had to
53
402134
2669
06:45
spit the buckshot out of my mouth,
54
405938
4604
06:50
which made a very interesting sensation to say the least.
55
410876
5105
06:56
It's nice to see you here today.
56
416648
2870
06:59
If you haven't already noticed,
57
419518
1902
07:02
he's not here today.
58
422554
1535
07:04
We don't have Mr. Steve, unfortunately.
59
424089
2669
07:07
I'm very sorry about that.
60
427059
1668
07:08
He did say he was going to be here today, but
61
428727
4338
07:13
unfortunately,
62
433865
2269
07:16
because sometimes Steve
63
436301
1735
07:18
forgets things, he forgot that he was meeting up
64
438036
3637
07:21
with some of his former work colleagues, people he used to work with.
65
441840
4738
07:26
So they were going today to have a lovely meal.
66
446578
3470
07:30
In fact, that's what they're doing right now.
67
450048
2202
07:32
Whilst I am here on my own presenting today's live streams.
68
452617
4638
07:37
So I'm ever so sorry because of this man.
69
457255
2203
07:40
Naughty Mr. Steve.
70
460058
1735
07:41
Naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty.
71
461793
5572
07:47
There is no Mr.
72
467365
835
07:48
Steve, but he has said he said he's free for the rest of the week,
73
468200
4804
07:53
so hopefully he will be with us on Thursday.
74
473538
3170
07:56
So there will be Mr.
75
476708
1101
07:57
Steve on Thursday. But please don't let that put you off.
76
477809
2870
08:00
Please don't go away.
77
480946
1268
08:03
Please stay with me.
78
483515
2135
08:06
We have an interesting subject to talk about today,
79
486184
3771
08:10
something that we all like to think we have,
80
490989
2236
08:13
but quite a few people don't
81
493758
2536
08:16
have that particular thing today.
82
496294
3237
08:19
We are talking about common sense being sensible.
83
499531
5672
08:25
Maybe be doing things carefully.
84
505470
3303
08:28
You are doing things in a careful way.
85
508773
2436
08:31
You are thinking, thinking about the thing you are about to do
86
511209
3037
08:35
and you are using common sense.
87
515981
3003
08:38
We are talking about that later on as well.
88
518984
2936
08:41
Yes, we have made it to the start of another week.
89
521920
4204
08:46
It's been okay so far.
90
526124
1768
08:47
Rather enjoyable, in fact.
91
527892
2169
08:50
Yes, it's Tuesday.
92
530328
17885
09:08
You pick the PDP DVD, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
93
548213
3537
09:12
Tuesday has arrived.
94
552517
1869
09:14
And yes, it is a super duper one.
95
554386
3503
09:17
I think
96
557889
534
09:20
Tuesday the
97
560658
1836
09:22
13th of December 2022.
98
562494
4304
09:27
Not long to go.
99
567065
1535
09:28
The year is slowly coming to an end.
100
568600
2669
09:32
We only have about three weeks left and then we will be into another year, a new year
101
572203
6874
09:39
and as I always wish every year,
102
579344
2969
09:43
as the old year passes and the new one approaches,
103
583114
4204
09:47
I always hope that the following year
104
587752
3404
09:51
will be better than the previous one.
105
591156
2202
09:54
This year I'm not going to lie.
106
594459
2869
09:57
I'm not going to just say anything that's untrue.
107
597328
2870
10:00
This year has been pretty awful.
108
600198
6640
10:06
That's all I'm saying for now.
109
606838
2636
10:09
But we might have a look back over the year.
110
609474
2602
10:12
From your point of view or from my point of view a little bit later on.
111
612810
4939
10:18
Oh, it is lovely outside, by the way.
112
618016
2302
10:20
Let's have a little look outside the window because it is very nice at the moment.
113
620318
5872
10:26
Outside.
114
626190
835
10:28
Oh, look at that.
115
628660
1868
10:30
Now, we had some snow at the weekend,
116
630528
3037
10:33
but most of the snow has now gone.
117
633932
2736
10:36
There is a little bit of snow left in certain places, but not much.
118
636734
3871
10:41
However, apparently this Sunday it's going to snow
119
641005
5606
10:46
and they have forecast heavy snow.
120
646911
4605
10:52
So during Sunday's live stream, we might actually have
121
652050
4671
10:57
some heavy snow during the live stream.
122
657288
2603
11:01
So I hope you will be able to join us for that
123
661092
2436
11:04
on Sunday, next Sunday.
124
664962
2636
11:07
And of course, I am with you on Thursday as well.
125
667598
2670
11:10
We are doing some extra live streams
126
670601
3070
11:13
during the month of December
127
673938
3170
11:17
as a nice way of ending the year.
128
677709
3336
11:21
I hope you are having a good day today.
129
681979
1902
11:23
So far.
130
683881
1669
11:25
I had a little surprise the other day.
131
685550
3503
11:29
Something lovely came into the garden.
132
689053
3404
11:32
A bird, a particular type of bird
133
692757
3136
11:35
that I've never had in the garden before, ever.
134
695893
4104
11:41
We will be having a look at that in a few moments.
135
701466
2902
11:44
A bird that I was so surprised to see.
136
704368
3904
11:48
A bird that never, ever comes into our garden.
137
708639
3737
11:52
But at the moment there is one just warm
138
712376
2703
11:56
and it appears to have created a little home
139
716614
3570
12:00
for itself in the back garden because there is lots of food there.
140
720184
4338
12:04
So I will tell you all about that a little bit later on as well.
141
724522
3737
12:09
Talking of the live stream, we also have the live chat.
142
729026
4905
12:13
It wouldn't be the live stream without you here today.
143
733931
3237
12:17
Can I say hello to the live chats? Who was first?
144
737468
3403
12:20
Oh, very interesting.
145
740871
4071
12:26
The champion is back.
146
746143
2269
12:29
He is back in first place at the top of the pile.
147
749013
4972
12:33
Vitesse, you are first on today's live chat.
148
753985
3370
12:37
Congratulations to you.
149
757622
3036
12:48
It's nice to see you back.
150
768432
1235
12:49
Vitesse, back on the top where you belong.
151
769667
6006
12:55
In fact, anyone can be first. Anyone?
152
775673
2969
12:59
I have no favourites, as you know.
153
779076
2336
13:02
We also have Mohsen, we have Beatrice, we have Francisca.
154
782079
4805
13:06
Hello to you as well. Paolo is here.
155
786884
3270
13:10
We also have Claudia
156
790554
2703
13:14
here is a question that I did not ask last week, but I'm going to ask it today.
157
794191
5105
13:19
Can you guess what the question is?
158
799296
3003
13:22
Can you Do you know what the question is?
159
802299
2303
13:26
I think you do.
160
806137
934
13:27
What's cooking, Claudia?
161
807071
2169
13:29
What have you got in the pot?
162
809240
2002
13:31
What's cooking, Claudia?
163
811242
1835
13:33
Is it something spicy and hot?
164
813077
2536
13:35
Is it something salty or not?
165
815613
2435
13:38
Or Claudia,
166
818048
2570
13:40
What is in the pot?
167
820618
8742
13:50
Claudia What is in the pot today?
168
830294
2269
13:52
Are you cooking something nice?
169
832563
2436
13:54
Is there something delicious bubbling in your pot?
170
834999
5539
14:00
Please let me know.
171
840804
2403
14:03
Today. I would love to find out.
172
843374
2469
14:05
I'm always interested in these things.
173
845843
2002
14:07
As you know, I love food.
174
847845
1935
14:09
If there is one thing I love about this time of year,
175
849780
3270
14:13
as we head towards Christmas, you know what I'm going to say?
176
853450
4805
14:18
Food.
177
858622
1068
14:19
It's all about the food.
178
859990
1302
14:21
I was saying this yesterday to Mr.
179
861292
1668
14:22
Steve, Sister because that's one of the special guests we had yesterday
180
862960
4338
14:27
joining us for lunch.
181
867898
2169
14:30
And I was saying to Steve's sister
182
870367
3737
14:34
that to be honest with you, Christmas presents
183
874972
3704
14:39
mean less to me as I get older.
184
879310
4504
14:45
However, I still
185
885049
2335
14:47
love to eat
186
887384
3904
14:51
during the Christmas period.
187
891455
1568
14:53
Anything, especially my Christmas dinner.
188
893023
2870
14:55
I always love my Christmas lunch on Christmas Day with Mr.
189
895926
3604
14:59
Steve.
190
899530
1234
15:00
We normally have brussel sprouts, carrots, parsnips.
191
900764
5572
15:06
You have to have parsnips.
192
906336
2303
15:08
I'm sorry.
193
908639
667
15:09
You do some people don't like parsnips, including Mr.
194
909306
4471
15:13
Steve System, but I think you'll have to have parsnips.
195
913777
3871
15:18
And of course, traditionally people have Turkey.
196
918048
3003
15:21
However, we are having chicken.
197
921051
2703
15:23
We normally have chicken because to be honest with you, turkey is too big.
198
923754
4705
15:28
There's too much turkey.
199
928792
2770
15:31
There's only two of us on Christmas Day, so it's too much really.
200
931562
4437
15:36
And we don't like to waste food.
201
936333
1635
15:37
So instead we normally have chicken on Christmas Day
202
937968
3470
15:41
instead of turkey.
203
941839
3069
15:44
I wonder what's
204
944908
2069
15:48
Claudia is cooking?
205
948846
1868
15:50
Oh, it would appear that Claudia
206
950714
2836
15:53
is actually doing some baking today.
207
953717
3337
15:57
Very interesting.
208
957654
1001
15:58
So you are baking a cake.
209
958655
1835
16:00
What type of cake Could you please explain?
210
960490
2870
16:03
Give me more details, Because now I am really intrigued
211
963860
4772
16:08
to find out what is going on.
212
968966
2168
16:11
Hello to A.R..
213
971735
2169
16:13
Hello A.r, who is watching in Morocco.
214
973971
3903
16:18
I suppose I should say congratulations to you because you are going through
215
978075
4738
16:22
to the semi-finals of the World Cup.
216
982813
3803
16:27
Of course we're talking football, aren't we?
217
987150
2002
16:29
We are. We are.
218
989453
1234
16:30
Oh, can I also say hello to
219
990687
2336
16:34
him? He is.
220
994591
1568
16:36
You know who I'm talking about?
221
996226
1935
16:38
Luis Mendez
222
998161
2837
16:40
is here today. Hello, Luis.
223
1000998
2168
16:43
Nice to see you here as well.
224
1003500
1969
16:45
Nice to see you.
225
1005469
901
16:46
Back on the live chat.
226
1006370
2569
16:48
Are you looking forward to Christmas?
227
1008939
2102
16:51
Do you celebrate Christmas? I know not everyone does.
228
1011174
3404
16:54
I know there are people who don't celebrate Christmas for various reasons.
229
1014578
5005
17:00
Maybe your location, maybe your traditions
230
1020150
3070
17:03
don't include the Christmas festivities.
231
1023520
3570
17:07
However, a lot of people these days do, and they do like
232
1027090
4271
17:12
to celebrate the Christmas period.
233
1032729
3470
17:16
Now, to be honest, I like Christmas very much.
234
1036933
2503
17:19
It is a good chance for people to relax.
235
1039436
2803
17:22
Maybe it is a good chance to get in touch or contact people.
236
1042839
5306
17:28
You haven't spoken to for a long time.
237
1048478
1969
17:30
Is it not a good idea? I think so.
238
1050447
2502
17:33
It is something a lot of people do.
239
1053650
1768
17:35
If maybe there is a person in your life to whom you haven't spoken
240
1055418
4638
17:40
for a long time, perhaps this is a good opportunity to do it.
241
1060056
3904
17:45
Maybe you can mend
242
1065195
2302
17:47
a relationship, or maybe you can fix
243
1067497
2803
17:50
the difference between you and another person.
244
1070533
3003
17:53
And this time of year is always a very good opportunity
245
1073937
4471
17:58
to make amends, to fix a problem.
246
1078975
3938
18:03
Maybe a person you've stopped talking
247
1083413
3437
18:06
to, maybe you've had an argument in the past.
248
1086850
3570
18:10
I always think Christmas time is a good time to get in touch with people
249
1090820
4405
18:15
with whom you have not talked to for a long time.
250
1095725
3804
18:19
What do you think of that? A good idea or not?
251
1099729
2536
18:23
Hello, Mila, Mila slovene sky.
252
1103199
3370
18:27
I hope I pronounce your name right.
253
1107771
2602
18:30
Christmas is my favourite holiday season.
254
1110373
2836
18:33
I think so.
255
1113209
2336
18:35
What are the special things about Christmas?
256
1115545
1869
18:37
Of course, is it happens in winter, and winter
257
1117414
3570
18:41
can be quite a magical time of year if you have the cold weather, if you have snow.
258
1121217
5472
18:47
I always think that Christmas has a much deeper meaning.
259
1127057
4971
18:52
If there is snow around, I think so.
260
1132028
3203
18:55
So I'm looking forward to that.
261
1135598
1268
18:56
Hopefully there will be some snow as well.
262
1136866
2303
19:00
Hello, also to Palmero.
263
1140303
2603
19:03
Oh, apparently
264
1143640
3170
19:06
Claudius says the cake is now ready.
265
1146810
3637
19:10
Now I will put the kind of loonie in the oven
266
1150914
3603
19:15
and it is stuffed with eggplant
267
1155051
2369
19:17
and mozzarella cheese.
268
1157787
2069
19:28
I am jealous right now.
269
1168498
5439
19:33
Can you see my face is going green as I stand here now, I'm becoming very envious
270
1173937
5071
19:39
because that sounds absolutely delicious.
271
1179609
3270
19:42
I love eggplant, I love melted cheese.
272
1182879
3336
19:46
I love cannelloni as well.
273
1186215
2236
19:48
So that's a type of I suppose it's a type of pasta
274
1188751
2870
19:53
as well. So very nice.
275
1193056
1234
19:54
That sounds lovely.
276
1194290
1869
19:56
I really just sound good.
277
1196159
1201
19:57
I am officially 100% jealous now.
278
1197360
4237
20:01
Definitely.
279
1201731
1335
20:03
Hello. Eat it. Hello.
280
1203933
1502
20:05
Eat it.
281
1205435
1067
20:06
My favourite festive season is Christmas.
282
1206502
5072
20:11
I think so.
283
1211574
2202
20:13
I think it's a good time of year.
284
1213776
4471
20:18
I think a lot of people want to sample your cooking.
285
1218247
2403
20:20
I have a feeling, Claudia, that you might be a very good cook.
286
1220883
5239
20:26
And that is the reason why I often mention your oven or your pot.
287
1226122
5205
20:31
Because I am always interested to find out what you are doing.
288
1231794
3103
20:35
Beatriz As
289
1235198
1167
20:37
Beatriz says, I like
290
1237867
1368
20:39
Christmas celebrations, although it's a bit sad at 12:00 when we cheer
291
1239235
4805
20:44
and we feel sad because my father and mother are not with us anymore.
292
1244407
5372
20:49
But it's lovely to know that my brother is with me.
293
1249779
3870
20:53
I always say that this time of year is a good time
294
1253850
3837
20:57
to think of those who are no longer with you and also those
295
1257687
4304
21:01
who are still here with you,
296
1261991
3303
21:05
especially if it's someone that you've lost touch with.
297
1265294
3537
21:09
So I always think at this time of year it is good to get in touch.
298
1269532
4938
21:14
Contact someone, maybe a person you haven't spoken to for a long time,
299
1274704
5405
21:20
but you keep thinking I must contact that person one day.
300
1280443
4171
21:24
I want to get back in touch with them.
301
1284614
2202
21:26
Now is the opportunity to do it.
302
1286816
2369
21:29
I always think Christmas is a good time to do it.
303
1289185
3370
21:32
But yes, I agree with you, Beatriz.
304
1292555
2102
21:34
It is a strange time of year, especially if you spend your time
305
1294657
5105
21:39
or you did spend your time in the past with your relatives,
306
1299762
4571
21:44
which, to be honest with you, most of us have when you think about it.
307
1304333
5205
21:51
So I think it is a good
308
1311040
2469
21:53
opportunity.
309
1313509
1301
21:54
It is a good opportunity to fix those differences that you've had with someone in the past.
310
1314810
6507
22:01
I always think it's a good opportunity and we all do it, including me.
311
1321317
3904
22:05
There are people in my life who I don't speak to anymore,
312
1325655
4037
22:09
or maybe someone I've lost contact with, especially people from my past.
313
1329959
4838
22:14
I've always wanted to contact them.
314
1334797
2569
22:17
Of course, sometimes it is not possible to contact them because you've
315
1337533
4505
22:22
you've lost their details, or maybe they've moved
316
1342071
3704
22:26
or changed their phone number.
317
1346142
2903
22:29
And I know what you're thinking.
318
1349578
1168
22:30
You're thinking, Mr. Duncan.
319
1350746
1402
22:32
I would imagine a lot of people do that with you.
320
1352148
2202
22:35
They change their phone number, so.
321
1355584
2102
22:37
So you can't get in touch with them.
322
1357887
1701
22:40
I know what you're thinking out there in YouTube land.
323
1360990
3503
22:44
How dare you?
324
1364560
2669
22:47
So we have a very busy live chat today.
325
1367229
2836
22:50
Thank you for joining me.
326
1370065
1736
22:51
I had a lovely surprise in the garden.
327
1371801
3303
22:55
Would you like to see something really amazing?
328
1375171
2869
22:58
Maybe not amazing to you,
329
1378641
2569
23:01
but to me it was quite amazing.
330
1381210
3704
23:04
I had a little visitor.
331
1384914
1334
23:06
In fact, the bird in question is still in the garden.
332
1386248
4405
23:11
It has spent the past three days in the garden feeding
333
1391020
4171
23:15
and it looks very comfortable in the garden.
334
1395724
2803
23:18
Would you like to have a look at it?
335
1398527
1201
23:19
Here it is.
336
1399728
634
23:20
Here is the bird that I've never had before.
337
1400362
3437
23:23
But now it has appeared
338
1403799
2669
23:27
after ten years of living here,
339
1407369
2903
23:30
I have never seen this particular bird before. But
340
1410773
4237
23:36
it's here.
341
1416679
1201
23:38
Finally, it has arrived.
342
1418180
2102
23:40
It has decided to come and say hello to me.
343
1420416
4971
23:45
Oh, look at that. There it is.
344
1425387
2970
23:48
So that is a very unusual bird.
345
1428357
1735
23:50
It is black and white and it is called a pied wagtail.
346
1430092
5339
23:55
And the reason why it's called a wagtail is because its tail
347
1435931
3904
24:00
will wag up and down.
348
1440369
2436
24:02
You might be able to see it doing it.
349
1442971
2136
24:05
So this is a pied wagtail and it is an unusual bird
350
1445107
5672
24:11
and the strange thing is
351
1451947
1935
24:13
we never get them here where I live.
352
1453882
3137
24:17
However, in much Wenlock there is a large field, a large recreation area,
353
1457019
6606
24:24
a large field where during the summer months there are many, many wacky tales.
354
1464159
5539
24:30
But we never get them here.
355
1470199
1468
24:31
Where I live.
356
1471667
2803
24:34
So imagine my surprise a couple of days ago when I saw one in the garden.
357
1474470
5038
24:40
Very lovely bird.
358
1480409
1234
24:41
It's slightly larger than a sparrow
359
1481643
2436
24:45
and as you can see, it tends to move around very quickly.
360
1485013
3971
24:49
It's not the easy bird or the easiest bird to actually film.
361
1489852
4404
24:54
It's not very easy to film.
362
1494256
1335
24:55
You have to keep moving your camera around all the time because it never stays still.
363
1495591
5138
25:00
As you can see, it is a very active bird but is beautiful.
364
1500729
6340
25:07
Isn't that lovely?
365
1507069
1401
25:08
So I was quite surprised to see
366
1508470
3704
25:13
this particular bird in the garden
367
1513242
2369
25:15
because I've never had one before.
368
1515677
2303
25:19
So imagine my excitement
369
1519214
3103
25:22
and I think this particular bird
370
1522317
1835
25:24
has made itself very comfortable in the garden because there is a lot of food that I've put out
371
1524152
6140
25:30
over the past few days, and that is one thing many birds need at this time of year.
372
1530292
4971
25:35
They really do rely on human beings
373
1535263
5239
25:40
leaving out peanuts, seeds,
374
1540869
3303
25:44
suet and all sorts of other things as well.
375
1544906
3370
25:48
So there it is, a little unexpected visitor to my garden,
376
1548276
4672
25:53
a little pied wagtail, if not lovely.
377
1553382
5505
26:00
What a cute
378
1560822
1235
26:02
little bird it is.
379
1562057
4004
26:06
I hope you enjoyed that.
380
1566061
2269
26:08
They are really nice. Actually.
381
1568330
1968
26:10
They're very hard to film.
382
1570298
2436
26:13
I always think the Pied Wagtail is very similar to Mr.
383
1573101
3170
26:16
Steve.
384
1576271
1168
26:17
It never stops moving around.
385
1577439
1835
26:19
It's very hard to film because it keeps moving.
386
1579274
3604
26:22
It never stays still for very long,
387
1582878
3303
26:28
Miller says.
388
1588016
1335
26:29
The Pied Wagtail is really cute.
389
1589351
3103
26:32
Yes, they are lovely birds, very unusual birds.
390
1592487
3671
26:36
And they have some very strange little habits.
391
1596158
2902
26:39
It's a pity that we don't get them here during the summer,
392
1599895
2869
26:43
but if I go over the hill
393
1603465
2369
26:45
that the back of my house and if I go into much Wenlock, they are everywhere,
394
1605834
5038
26:51
lots of them during the summer.
395
1611573
1735
26:53
But we never get them here on this side of Wenlock Edge.
396
1613308
4137
26:57
Unfortunately.
397
1617445
3003
27:00
Paul Mara
398
1620448
835
27:02
I think you are right, by the way, Palmira,
399
1622584
2502
27:05
I don't think the pheasant that you ate the other day is the same one that you see in your garden.
400
1625720
5706
27:11
No, I don't think so.
401
1631593
1568
27:13
I think it's a very different one at this time of year, during the month of December.
402
1633161
5038
27:18
It is legal.
403
1638867
2235
27:21
It is allowed.
404
1641102
1602
27:22
You can do it, you can shoot pheasants.
405
1642704
4004
27:27
So during the month of December, there are certain days
406
1647042
3803
27:30
when you can actually shoot pheasants.
407
1650845
2703
27:34
And that's one of the reasons why people have pheasant at Christmas time,
408
1654082
4137
27:38
because it's one of the only times of the year that you can actually hunt
409
1658620
4438
27:43
or kill pheasants.
410
1663558
4004
27:47
Whenever I see the birds.
411
1667562
1668
27:49
Mr. Duncan, I always think of you. Thank you, Claudia.
412
1669230
3471
27:52
That's very kind of you to say.
413
1672801
1868
27:54
Thank you very much.
414
1674669
1769
27:56
I know I've mentioned this today already, but I'm going to mention it again.
415
1676438
4437
28:00
Yes, we are.
416
1680875
1602
28:02
I think next Sunday
417
1682477
3103
28:06
it will be one week before that special day.
418
1686281
3537
28:10
I've already mentioned it.
419
1690718
1135
28:11
And I you know what I'm talking about.
420
1691853
4538
28:16
It's coming.
421
1696391
1168
28:17
The holidays are coming.
422
1697559
2669
28:20
Christmas is on the way. Mhm.
423
1700228
2236
29:28
Christmas time is coming.
424
1768196
2169
29:30
Are you ready.
425
1770365
1301
29:31
I know one person who is not ready and that person is Mr.
426
1771666
5272
29:36
Steve.
427
1776938
1334
29:38
He said he's not ready for Christmas.
428
1778272
2770
29:41
He hasn't brought any presents yet
429
1781275
3204
29:45
which is a little bit
430
1785513
834
29:46
worrying for me actually.
431
1786347
7241
29:53
And I'm,
432
1793588
6206
30:00
I'm slightly worried, slightly worried
433
1800962
3370
30:04
that Steve has not bought any presents at the moment.
434
1804332
4137
30:08
And one of the other reasons why I'm worried is because there
435
1808469
4471
30:13
there are lots of strikes, lots of industrial action taking place this month.
436
1813141
6339
30:19
We have the postal workers, we have drivers,
437
1819914
3637
30:23
we have possibly nurses going on strike.
438
1823551
5138
30:28
Lots of people are going on strike.
439
1828689
2636
30:31
They are taking industrial action.
440
1831325
2670
30:34
They are protesting because they want a pay rise.
441
1834428
3938
30:38
And also who else?
442
1838366
2369
30:40
Train drivers, bus drivers, although I think
443
1840735
4004
30:44
I think the bus drivers have actually reached an agreement.
444
1844805
4038
30:48
So I don't think they're going on strike.
445
1848843
1902
30:50
But the train drivers definitely are going on strike.
446
1850745
4004
30:54
So there is a lot of industrial action
447
1854982
3003
30:58
taking place leading up to Christmas.
448
1858319
2636
31:01
Lots of people protesting about their low wages.
449
1861088
2937
31:04
They want a pay increase.
450
1864325
4137
31:08
So that is also one thing that is worrying people as well.
451
1868462
4338
31:14
Hello Edith
452
1874135
934
31:15
Eade It says Pheasant Soup is a very delicious meal.
453
1875069
5339
31:21
Sounds nice.
454
1881008
901
31:21
Yes, well I had pheasant with mashed potatoes and vegetables, Very nice.
455
1881909
7007
31:29
We went to a lovely place, not very far away from where I live, in fact.
456
1889050
4471
31:34
And yes, it was lovely.
457
1894088
1468
31:35
We had a lovely time meeting up with Mr.
458
1895556
2603
31:38
Steve's sister and also his brother in law as well.
459
1898159
4404
31:42
So all four of us went to a lovely place.
460
1902930
2469
31:45
We had something to eat.
461
1905399
1468
31:46
We had a very long chat.
462
1906867
3037
31:49
I don't know why, but the last two times,
463
1909904
2936
31:53
twice recently, we've met each other.
464
1913207
2703
31:55
We've all met up together and all we've been doing is talking non-stop.
465
1915910
4571
32:00
We seem to have so much to talk about.
466
1920748
3804
32:04
We really do.
467
1924685
2603
32:07
Can I say hello to I want to say hello to Iraq.
468
1927288
4538
32:12
Can I say hello? Hi Iraq.
469
1932159
2369
32:14
Shehab Ahmad is here.
470
1934995
2469
32:17
Hello to you, Shehab, and I hope you're feeling good today.
471
1937798
3737
32:21
Live from England, you can see behind me that is the view at the moment.
472
1941902
5039
32:26
From the window you can see there is some snow.
473
1946941
2369
32:30
Can you see that?
474
1950144
1368
32:31
And also there there is still some snow, not much. But
475
1951512
5639
32:38
on Sunday,
476
1958719
2069
32:40
if you join on Sunday, you might see snow falling.
477
1960788
5572
32:47
Heavy snow, apparently.
478
1967094
2102
32:49
So it looks as if we are going to get a lot of snow on Sunday.
479
1969196
4304
32:54
And I hope you will stick around to find out.
480
1974535
2903
32:58
We are looking at a certain subject today.
481
1978038
3737
33:01
We are looking at common sense words
482
1981775
3003
33:04
and phrases connected to being sensible.
483
1984778
3003
33:08
Maybe if you have to follow a certain procedure,
484
1988248
3971
33:12
maybe you have to follow certain safety rules.
485
1992619
3938
33:17
Quite often it involves using
486
1997324
3270
33:21
common sense.
487
2001228
1335
34:09
And for those missing Mr.
488
2049042
1735
34:10
Steve today, don't worry, he has promised to be
489
2050777
4672
34:15
with us, hopefully
490
2055449
3370
34:20
on Thursday.
491
2060020
1568
34:21
So I will be back with you on Thursday.
492
2061588
2303
34:25
Oh Mr.
493
2065592
1402
34:26
Dunk Good Thursday as well.
494
2066994
2168
34:29
And yes, next Sunday.
495
2069529
2203
34:31
Also, we are here with you.
496
2071732
1902
34:33
Hopefully you will join us because I know next Sunday it is also
497
2073634
4904
34:40
the World Cup final.
498
2080941
2102
34:43
Who will be playing?
499
2083043
1401
34:44
Who will be in the final?
500
2084444
1702
34:46
Who do you think will be in the final?
501
2086146
2536
34:49
A lot of people are saying that who is the favourite at the moment
502
2089116
4337
34:53
because most of the favourites have been knocked out.
503
2093887
2870
34:57
I know Morocco are playing in the semi-final, all but who else is playing?
504
2097190
4605
35:02
Who else?
505
2102529
734
35:03
Anyone I know who isn't
506
2103263
2136
35:07
England?
507
2107267
968
35:08
Oh, definitely not playing in the World Cup.
508
2108235
3136
35:11
They will not be in the final, unfortunately.
509
2111838
3504
35:15
That's a pity.
510
2115709
767
35:16
I have to say.
511
2116476
668
35:17
That is a shame.
512
2117144
967
35:18
It is a real, real shame.
513
2118111
3370
35:21
As I always say in any competition,
514
2121481
2469
35:24
may the best team win, whoever it happens to be.
515
2124484
5339
35:29
So we are looking at a certain subject today.
516
2129823
2569
35:32
I hope you will stick with me as we go through words
517
2132426
3770
35:36
and phrases connected to common sense.
518
2136196
4771
35:40
Common sense is something we like to think we all have.
519
2140967
3904
35:45
I bet you do.
520
2145672
901
35:46
I bet you think that you have a lot of common sense.
521
2146573
4404
35:51
Common sense is the way of thinking
522
2151411
3971
35:55
logically, quite often about the things you are going to do,
523
2155482
4237
35:59
maybe things that require a certain amount of care
524
2159719
4271
36:04
or consideration or maybe safety.
525
2164524
2603
36:08
We often
526
2168128
1068
36:09
use the phrase common sense.
527
2169429
2970
36:12
The phrase common sense relates to the process of logical
528
2172699
4238
36:17
or sensible thought.
529
2177337
2469
36:20
So I suppose in any situation you might say that there is a certain amount of common sense
530
2180674
5138
36:26
that we have to have, or maybe we have to think in a certain way
531
2186246
4738
36:30
before we do a particular task, something we are going to do.
532
2190984
5072
36:36
Quite often you have to think about the safety issues.
533
2196456
5572
36:42
Is it safe to do that particular thing?
534
2202028
2569
36:45
Do I need to take care?
535
2205198
2302
36:47
Do I need to have some extra precautions?
536
2207534
4404
36:52
Precaution.
537
2212238
1368
36:53
I like that word, by the way.
538
2213606
2002
36:55
Precaution.
539
2215608
2036
36:57
When we talk about the word precaution,
540
2217677
2302
36:59
it means you are doing something in a certain way to ensure
541
2219979
3871
37:04
your safety precautions.
542
2224384
3670
37:08
You are wary of the dangers
543
2228054
3570
37:12
and quite often you will have to take precautions during that time.
544
2232058
3971
37:17
So the phrase
545
2237263
2336
37:19
common sense relates to the process of logical
546
2239599
3437
37:23
or sensible thought,
547
2243369
2002
37:26
and that is way we often define it.
548
2246339
3170
37:30
The obvious methods of doing something
549
2250777
3337
37:34
normally mean that common sense is being used.
550
2254180
4905
37:39
So the obvious method of doing
551
2259452
3103
37:42
something quite often are the safest.
552
2262555
2536
37:45
Some thing that you are going to do normally involves
553
2265758
5172
37:51
following certain rules or procedures,
554
2271097
3470
37:55
and many of those procedures involve being safe.
555
2275001
5172
38:00
So obvious things,
556
2280740
2903
38:04
clear things, things that are easy to remember.
557
2284244
4304
38:08
If you are going to do something that is risky or dangerous,
558
2288948
3604
38:12
there are often things you have to consider
559
2292986
2769
38:16
the obvious methods of doing something
560
2296489
3337
38:20
normally mean that common sense is being used.
561
2300159
4772
38:25
But of course, as we will find out later, not everyone uses common sense.
562
2305331
6073
38:31
Sometimes people forget or they just
563
2311404
3203
38:34
ignore the safety procedures
564
2314607
3470
38:39
to observe.
565
2319579
1001
38:40
The safest way of doing something
566
2320580
3236
38:43
means that common sense will be practised.
567
2323983
5072
38:49
So you are following certain rules.
568
2329055
3870
38:53
So if you are doing something that may or may not be dangerous.
569
2333226
6206
38:59
So even if the thing appears to be safe, maybe sometimes
570
2339432
4137
39:03
you have to think about what you are doing and how you are going to do it.
571
2343569
5272
39:08
Or of course you might be doing something dangerous like this.
572
2348841
3337
39:13
Maybe you are going to climb a tree
573
2353146
2035
39:15
because you want to cut some of the branches off.
574
2355882
3336
39:19
Many people do this and many people every year fall from trees.
575
2359619
5105
39:25
I think it's one of the most common things that people do in that garden
576
2365324
3838
39:29
when we are talking about accidents and mishaps.
577
2369162
4838
39:35
Falling, I think is the most common.
578
2375468
3704
39:39
Falling from trees or maybe falling from a roof.
579
2379172
4804
39:44
If you are on top of the roof, you can fall from roof.
580
2384443
3938
39:48
Maybe you are not being safe, maybe you are not using common sense.
581
2388714
5272
39:54
You are doing something risky or dangerous.
582
2394086
4405
39:58
You might have an accident.
583
2398491
2202
40:01
I suppose.
584
2401294
634
40:01
Also, people might fall from ladders as well.
585
2401928
3870
40:05
So that's another thing where a person
586
2405798
3237
40:09
might not observe the safety procedures.
587
2409035
3570
40:12
They will not use their common sense and quite often they will end up having an accident.
588
2412605
7207
40:19
Unfortunately,
589
2419845
901
40:22
Claudia says, Mr.
590
2422448
1201
40:23
Steve did something very risky the other day.
591
2423649
3304
40:26
He did. He went off in the snow.
592
2426953
2902
40:30
He was driving to one of his concerts that he was performing it
593
2430189
4138
40:34
and and we had quite a lot of snow, to be honest.
594
2434927
3570
40:38
We did have a lot of snow that fell.
595
2438497
2970
40:41
And Mr.
596
2441467
400
40:41
Steve went out in the car and I was very worried about him.
597
2441867
4738
40:46
But he was safe. He was safe.
598
2446605
2269
40:49
Safe and sound, as they say.
599
2449742
3537
40:54
Hello, Christina.
600
2454246
1368
40:55
Hello to you as well.
601
2455614
2536
40:58
Hello also to Huang Trong.
602
2458617
3637
41:02
Hello, Mr.
603
2462588
501
41:03
Duncan from Vietnam.
604
2463089
1801
41:04
Hello to Vietnam.
605
2464890
2069
41:07
It's nice to see you here today.
606
2467326
5539
41:12
We are talking about commonsense.
607
2472865
2402
41:15
To think before doing something risky will require
608
2475868
5205
41:21
common sense to be observed,
609
2481207
3403
41:25
to think before doing something risky.
610
2485111
3169
41:28
As I just mentioned, Mr.
611
2488647
1602
41:30
Steve, the other day, he was driving his car and there had been a lot of snow falling,
612
2490249
7007
41:37
so the roads were covered with slippery cold snow
613
2497923
5306
41:44
and I thought that Steve was taking a risk.
614
2504463
3070
41:47
I really did.
615
2507533
1335
41:48
So quite often you have to think before
616
2508868
2736
41:51
doing something dangerous or risky.
617
2511604
3270
41:55
It will often require common sense to be observed.
618
2515407
5206
42:01
So quite often we use the word observe to mean
619
2521280
3804
42:05
follow you follow a certain rule
620
2525317
3704
42:09
or you follow a certain list of instructions.
621
2529388
4371
42:14
You observe those lists, you look at them, you read them,
622
2534059
5839
42:20
you remember them, and then you follow them.
623
2540633
2836
42:24
You observe the rules.
624
2544169
2970
42:28
So to think before doing something risky, of course, not everyone does that.
625
2548540
5306
42:33
Not everyone thinks before doing something risky.
626
2553879
3937
42:37
Quite often people will do things and they will take no precautions
627
2557816
5739
42:43
whatsoever.
628
2563722
3737
42:47
Here's a good one.
629
2567459
1268
42:48
An activity, as I mentioned earlier, an activity done
630
2568727
4571
42:53
high up requires some level of safety and common sense.
631
2573499
5739
42:59
Anything that means
632
2579905
2402
43:02
you are going up,
633
2582508
3670
43:06
maybe you are climbing a ladder or a tree, maybe you are going up onto the roof.
634
2586178
5238
43:11
Maybe you are cleaning the windows on the outside side
635
2591817
4271
43:16
and you have to climb a ladder.
636
2596688
2503
43:19
All of those things are dangerous.
637
2599191
3236
43:22
They are dangerous activities, an activity done
638
2602895
3637
43:26
high up requires some level of safety and common sense.
639
2606532
6339
43:32
You have to think before you do it.
640
2612871
1669
43:35
Do I need to do that thing?
641
2615674
2669
43:38
Is it important?
642
2618343
2069
43:41
Do I need to be careful?
643
2621179
2136
43:43
Do I have to take care
644
2623315
2636
43:47
a dangerous sport or activity?
645
2627019
3503
43:50
So maybe something that you want to do, maybe a certain pastime or a certain sport.
646
2630822
5473
43:56
Quite often in sport there are dangers.
647
2636662
3336
44:00
There are parts of your body that might be damaged, injured,
648
2640265
3604
44:04
you might be seri ously injured doing these sports.
649
2644503
4204
44:09
So there are moments where you have to take care.
650
2649641
3637
44:13
You have to use common sense.
651
2653278
2302
44:15
A dangerous sport or activity will require special clothing
652
2655580
4605
44:20
or equipment to be used.
653
2660686
2636
44:23
So I suppose a good example is your head.
654
2663989
3737
44:28
Your brain does not like being banged around.
655
2668627
4638
44:34
It does not like receiving impacts.
656
2674066
2902
44:37
And a common problem
657
2677703
2402
44:40
if you enjoy your head or if you bang
658
2680405
2770
44:43
your head, or if you knock your head on something,
659
2683175
3103
44:46
you can suffer something called concussion, which is literally
660
2686278
4971
44:51
where your brain moves around your skull
661
2691883
3837
44:55
and it can cause damage to the nerves.
662
2695854
2636
44:58
And it's not a good thing to have.
663
2698990
2069
45:01
Concussion is not a good thing to have.
664
2701059
3937
45:05
That's one of the reasons why they they always say if you've enjoyed your head in some way,
665
2705163
4838
45:10
if you've taken a blow or
666
2710001
3270
45:13
maybe something has hit you on the head
667
2713271
2570
45:16
and you feel a little unwell, you must never go to sleep.
668
2716708
2970
45:19
They always advise that and if you feel unwell after hitting your head,
669
2719945
4371
45:24
you should always go to a hospital or seek some sort of medical attention.
670
2724316
5906
45:31
So there are
671
2731489
468
45:31
many sports, many activities that will require
672
2731957
3103
45:35
special clothing or equipment to be used.
673
2735093
3904
45:38
I'm sure you can think of quite a few.
674
2738997
4838
45:43
This is where we talk about the negative side of common sense.
675
2743835
5372
45:49
It is not good to expect a person to use common sense,
676
2749708
5438
45:55
so never assume that a person is going to be sensible.
677
2755480
5072
46:01
Never assume
678
2761219
2536
46:03
that a person is going to follow common sense.
679
2763755
3570
46:07
Quite often we do things without thinking.
680
2767792
3170
46:11
Sometimes we do things without
681
2771229
2603
46:14
following any common sense.
682
2774132
3036
46:17
Maybe we are going to do something risky.
683
2777635
2269
46:20
Maybe we are going to do something that we haven't thought through.
684
2780305
3537
46:24
We haven't thought about the consequences of that action.
685
2784809
4438
46:30
So it is not good to expect a person to use common sense
686
2790181
4205
46:34
as they will often try to avoid observing it.
687
2794386
4504
46:39
And it is true.
688
2799457
1535
46:40
I suppose, one of the worst offenders
689
2800992
3403
46:44
of not following common sense.
690
2804829
2803
46:48
I'm sure you know what I'm going to say.
691
2808399
1736
46:50
Of course we are talking about young people.
692
2810135
3370
46:54
Quite often young people will do things, dangerous
693
2814105
4104
46:59
things that are reckless things that might be risky.
694
2819010
4338
47:03
Young people quite often will not think
695
2823815
2636
47:07
of the consequences and
696
2827018
2536
47:10
that can lead
697
2830755
1535
47:12
to to all sorts of terrible things happening.
698
2832290
2803
47:15
So it is not good to expect a person to use common sense
699
2835760
3504
47:19
as they will often try to avoid observing it.
700
2839264
3903
47:23
And I think that's true.
701
2843167
2303
47:25
Even adults, many adults
702
2845470
3103
47:28
will try to find a way around doing something.
703
2848773
4371
47:33
Maybe there is something on your roof that you want to fix and you think,
704
2853778
4605
47:38
I will just go up onto the roof.
705
2858950
2069
47:41
I'm going to go on top of the roof and I'm going to fix that problem.
706
2861019
4804
47:46
You might not even consider the danger of doing it.
707
2866925
3703
47:50
You might not even consider the risks.
708
2870628
2002
47:53
You just think I'm going to do that right now.
709
2873164
3537
47:58
It does happen.
710
2878303
1301
47:59
And that's why accidents happen so often.
711
2879604
3537
48:03
It is the reason why.
712
2883608
3336
48:06
So here are some examples of not following
713
2886944
4705
48:12
common sense, not using common sense.
714
2892016
4338
48:16
So we have examples including climbing a tree
715
2896354
3837
48:20
without a harness.
716
2900725
2002
48:23
So quite often people will go up into trees, they will climb trees
717
2903394
4371
48:27
maybe for a sense of fun or adventure.
718
2907765
3671
48:31
They want to have a little bit of danger
719
2911669
4037
48:35
or risk and they will climb a tree.
720
2915973
2603
48:38
But of course, the problem with climbing trees is quite often
721
2918910
3003
48:42
you might think that you can climb trees much better than you really can
722
2922680
5139
48:49
and you might end up falling and injuring yourself.
723
2929720
3070
48:53
And I did it once as a child.
724
2933157
2136
48:55
I was a teenager.
725
2935293
2202
48:57
I was a young lad and I was climbing a tree one day and I slipped.
726
2937495
5972
49:03
One of the branches snapped and I fell
727
2943501
2836
49:06
all the way down to the ground and it was not much fun.
728
2946671
3236
49:10
I will be honest with you.
729
2950107
1836
49:11
I was lucky not to break anything, to be honest.
730
2951943
2969
49:15
So climbing a tree without a harness or
731
2955580
3603
49:19
and this is another one that people do sometimes I know in certain countries
732
2959483
4739
49:24
the rules are different,
733
2964222
2302
49:27
but riding a motorcycle
734
2967758
4104
49:32
without a helmet, without any safety equipment
735
2972196
4104
49:36
on your head, dangerous, risky.
736
2976601
3336
49:40
It is common sense to make sure that you protect
737
2980838
2970
49:43
certain parts of your body, including your head.
738
2983908
3136
49:47
Maybe your hands, and also your knees.
739
2987378
4071
49:51
Because I used to ride a motorcycle many years ago.
740
2991649
3103
49:54
I used to ride a motorbike all over the place.
741
2994785
3470
49:58
And I always had to observe certain safety
742
2998255
3704
50:02
procedures, certain items of clothing, especially
743
3002259
4004
50:07
helmet, a crash helmet.
744
3007598
2202
50:10
I would often were, to be honest, how those the live chat.
745
3010534
6006
50:16
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. Don't worry.
746
3016540
2570
50:19
I know you are still there.
747
3019276
2136
50:21
So common sense often involves
748
3021412
2836
50:24
following certain safety procedures.
749
3024515
3704
50:29
The most common accidents occur
750
3029620
2136
50:31
when common sense was not practised,
751
3031856
3970
50:36
when it was not followed, when people were thinking
752
3036360
5305
50:42
It won't happen to me.
753
3042199
4038
50:46
The only problem with thinking like that is quite often it will happen to you.
754
3046237
3637
50:51
We become reckless.
755
3051308
2603
50:53
We don't think of the consequences, especially when we're young.
756
3053911
4071
50:58
It's true.
757
3058315
1202
51:00
Common sense often relates
758
3060518
2002
51:02
to being sensible and taking care,
759
3062520
3670
51:06
or it can relate to general safety rules.
760
3066557
3737
51:10
So with many things, especially in your work environment
761
3070661
4972
51:16
and I'm sure you have come across this, I have in my life,
762
3076300
4304
51:21
there might be certain places where you work
763
3081105
2435
51:23
or certain jobs that you do, where you have to be safe.
764
3083841
4104
51:27
You have to follow common sense, maybe a dangerous job.
765
3087945
4805
51:32
Maybe if you work on a building site.
766
3092750
3904
51:37
There are many hazards, many dangers, many things that could
767
3097321
5072
51:43
or if you are careless, if you don't follow common sense,
768
3103694
4071
51:48
you might find that you have an accident
769
3108365
3704
51:53
or even worse.
770
3113437
6106
51:59
Here are some ways of following the rules
771
3119543
3337
52:03
and also following common sense.
772
3123280
3337
52:06
For example, climbing a ladder.
773
3126617
2369
52:09
If you go up a ladder, you have to make sure that someone at the bottom is holding onto it.
774
3129219
4572
52:13
They are holding the ladder that is common sense.
775
3133824
4004
52:18
Maybe if you are cooking something, Claudia,
776
3138629
3069
52:22
I'm talking to you.
777
3142766
1869
52:24
Maybe you are cooking something in the kitchen.
778
3144635
2502
52:27
Maybe you have something cooking in the oven or on the stove.
779
3147604
4839
52:33
You have to make sure that you pay attention.
780
3153143
2603
52:35
Don't forget about it.
781
3155746
2402
52:38
It is common sense,
782
3158649
2402
52:41
simple logic, common sense.
783
3161285
5405
52:46
If you are about to do something dangerous or risky, you have to make sure that you have
784
3166690
4538
52:51
the right equipment.
785
3171228
1535
52:52
You also have to make sure that you check the equipment.
786
3172763
4004
52:57
One of the most common safety checks,
787
3177501
2369
52:59
of course, is before a plane takes off.
788
3179870
3337
53:03
Quite often the pilot and the co-pilot will have to sit
789
3183707
3971
53:07
for a period of time and they will go through lots of checks.
790
3187978
3370
53:11
They will go through a procedure where they check everything
791
3191882
3170
53:15
to make sure that the plane is functioning properly before it takes off.
792
3195519
5105
53:22
So common sense can also relate
793
3202125
3103
53:25
to safety procedures
794
3205329
3136
53:28
as well.
795
3208465
3070
53:31
Not following common sense might be described
796
3211535
4504
53:36
as reckless,
797
3216039
2469
53:39
foolish, stupid,
798
3219876
3437
53:44
unsafe,
799
3224614
1736
53:46
treacherous,
800
3226750
2169
53:48
dangerous, foolhardy.
801
3228952
3437
53:52
I like that last one.
802
3232756
1702
53:54
Now, maybe you've never heard of that one. Foolhardy.
803
3234458
3236
53:57
A person who is foolhardy
804
3237694
2669
54:00
is a person who does things without thinking them through.
805
3240697
3070
54:04
Or maybe they don't take precautions.
806
3244134
2302
54:06
Maybe they don't use common sense.
807
3246870
2569
54:09
I you might say that Mr.
808
3249940
1968
54:11
Steve, the other day when he went out in the car
809
3251908
2970
54:15
after the snow had fallen,
810
3255612
3270
54:18
you might say that Mr.
811
3258882
1134
54:20
Steve was foolhardy.
812
3260016
2470
54:23
He was doing something that might be seen as dangerous.
813
3263253
4037
54:27
Something risky can be described as foolhardy.
814
3267557
4571
54:32
I like that one.
815
3272796
1101
54:33
It's an interesting word.
816
3273897
2002
54:35
So if that's a new word,
817
3275899
2102
54:38
if you've never seen that word before, please let me know.
818
3278001
2903
54:42
Common sense
819
3282739
1668
54:44
can be described as reasonable,
820
3284407
3270
54:48
rational, coherent,
821
3288778
3304
54:53
logical,
822
3293183
1635
54:55
sound, practical,
823
3295085
2602
54:58
sensible.
824
3298855
1735
55:00
So all of these words describe common sense.
825
3300590
3437
55:04
You are doing something that you have thought about.
826
3304027
3403
55:07
You have given it a lot of thought.
827
3307797
2269
55:10
You have prepared yourself for doing it.
828
3310567
3203
55:14
You have decided to do something
829
3314404
2903
55:17
risky or dangerous, but
830
3317741
2402
55:20
also you have done things that will make sure that if something goes wrong,
831
3320410
5539
55:26
you are not injured or killed.
832
3326082
4972
55:31
It's always good to use common sense, even though sometimes we don't.
833
3331054
4237
55:37
Here we go.
834
3337093
668
55:37
When in doubt, if you are not sure if you are uncertain,
835
3337761
4371
55:42
when in doubt, use common sense
836
3342599
3737
55:46
and don't take risks.
837
3346336
3170
55:49
I know it's very easy to say, Mr. Duncan.
838
3349506
3069
55:52
It's easy to say that, but in real life we all like to take risks.
839
3352809
6139
55:59
Sometimes,
840
3359249
934
56:01
as many people say, there is a great proverb
841
3361117
2903
56:04
It is better to be safe than sorry quite often.
842
3364654
4905
56:09
It is better to be safe and follow
843
3369759
4104
56:15
common sense than to be reckless
844
3375031
3537
56:20
and get into trouble.
845
3380770
1502
56:22
It is better to be safe than sorry,
846
3382272
2402
56:25
and I think that is a good way of ending today's live stream.
847
3385074
3904
56:29
Whatever you are doing, especially if it's something dangerous
848
3389746
3970
56:34
or risky, maybe, maybe it's something connected to climbing high up.
849
3394150
5372
56:39
Or perhaps you are doing something with electricity.
850
3399989
3304
56:43
That's another one.
851
3403793
1168
56:44
Many people every year, they are injured and sometimes killed
852
3404961
4638
56:50
because of electricity, because they've been taking risks.
853
3410233
3337
56:53
They haven't been careful.
854
3413903
2403
56:56
It is better to be safe than sorry
855
3416806
4138
57:02
common sense thinking
856
3422011
2703
57:05
before you do something and
857
3425048
2335
57:08
was today's subject.
858
3428518
1368
57:09
I hope you enjoyed it.
859
3429886
1401
57:11
Looking at doing things
860
3431287
2503
57:14
that might be dangerous or risky.
861
3434290
3704
57:18
And I suppose in our day to day lives there are situations or moments
862
3438428
4471
57:22
where you will do something without taking care.
863
3442899
4704
57:27
Maybe if it's something you have to do in a hurry, or maybe if it
864
3447603
3904
57:31
if it is something unexpected, maybe you have to make a repair
865
3451507
5406
57:36
to something very quickly and you don't have time to think.
866
3456913
4571
57:42
Sometimes you don't
867
3462652
1201
57:43
use common sense.
868
3463853
4004
57:47
I think it is true that quite often in life we do take risks.
869
3467857
6840
57:54
I think so.
870
3474697
1402
57:56
Beatrice says.
871
3476099
2635
57:58
Driving whilst using your mobile phone,
872
3478734
3637
58:02
that is something many people do.
873
3482738
4572
58:07
I sometimes when I'm driving around with Mr.
874
3487310
2702
58:10
Steve, if Mr.
875
3490012
935
58:10
Steve is driving the car and I'm looking out of the window,
876
3490947
3270
58:14
I see many people on the motorway travelling at high speed
877
3494584
4337
58:19
and they're talking on their phone so they have one hand on the steering wheel
878
3499555
4905
58:25
and the other hand they're holding their phone and they're driving
879
3505061
4037
58:30
sometimes at 60 or maybe 70 miles an hour
880
3510566
3237
58:33
and they're talking on the phone like this.
881
3513803
5806
58:39
No problem.
882
3519609
1434
58:41
Everything's all right.
883
3521043
2469
58:43
I'll be fine.
884
3523512
3971
58:47
No, you won't,
885
3527483
1935
58:49
especially if the police catch you.
886
3529719
1535
58:52
Thank you very much for your company today.
887
3532355
1902
58:54

3770
59:21

895
3561450
768
59:22
I've told him, I've said Mr.
896
3562218
2402
59:24
Steve, you have to be here on Thursday.
897
3564620
3003
