I hope you are feeling well now
1
239143
6258
04:14
and it's a sticky one.
2
254186
9822
04:24
It's very sticky in here.
3
264159
2878
04:27
Here we go again.
4
267037
1020
04:28
I can't begin to tell you how hot it is at the moment in the studio.
5
268057
4485
04:32
Well, I can tell you it's around 31 degrees in here.
6
272558
5221
04:38
Outside.
7
278381
1406
04:39
It is a little cooler, but we are having a very hot day.
8
279787
4618
04:44
I have a feeling quite a few of you
9
284790
2610
04:47
might be having a hot day right now.
10
287400
3548
04:51
Here we go again. Hi, everybody.
11
291282
2761
04:54
This is Mr. Duncan in England.
12
294043
2744
04:56
How are you today?
13
296787
1172
04:57
Are you okay?
14
297959
1288
04:59
I hope so.
15
299247
1422
05:00
Are you happy?
16
300669
2059
05:02
I hope you are feeling good today.
17
302728
2643
05:05
Because I'm not too bad.
18
305371
2109
05:07
Although I will say straight away.
19
307480
2359
05:09
I've had a busy week.
20
309839
1238
05:11
It's been busy.
21
311077
1673
05:12
We've had a very busy week. Myself and Mr.
22
312750
2527
05:15
Steve, we've been travelling again.
23
315277
4769
05:20
Oh, Mr.
24
320230
719
05:20
Duncan, you seem to like getting out and about at the moment.
25
320949
5254
05:26
Well, I suppose that's one of the reasons why Summer is such a wonderful season,
26
326639
3882
05:31
because it gives us all the chance
27
331207
2794
05:34
to go out and drive around,
28
334001
2844
05:36
maybe visit a nice scenic place.
29
336845
3330
05:40
Scenic a place that is nice to visit.
30
340543
3866
05:44
Maybe you have some lovely views, maybe
31
344442
3230
05:47
the surroundings are beautiful.
32
347672
3011
05:50
We can describe it as scenic.
33
350734
2995
05:53
A scenic view, A scenic picnic,
34
353879
4334
05:58
maybe you are going somewhere that's rather nice.
35
358414
2995
06:01
So we are back together again on a very hot.
36
361560
3012
06:04
I suppose the word I would use
37
364839
2694
06:07
to describe today is muggy.
38
367533
3062
06:11
Oh, Mr.
39
371198
619
06:11
Duncan, that's a very interesting word.
40
371817
2225
06:14
Muggy.
41
374042
1623
06:15
If the weather is muggy, it means it is humid.
42
375665
4619
06:20
And I think at the moment, the humidity here in England is around 60%.
43
380953
6509
06:28
So if you go outside, it
44
388717
1372
06:30
really does feel as if you are in a tropical country somewhere.
45
390089
4033
06:34
It really does feel as if you are
46
394138
3012
06:37
in the tropics.
47
397535
1406
06:38
Anyway, enough of that.
48
398941
1623
06:40
We have more important things to talk about because we are back once again
49
400564
4283
06:45
with another English live stream.
50
405282
3263
06:48
And yes, you might say that we have made it
51
408545
4535
06:53
all the way
52
413983
2661
06:56
to the end of another weekend.
53
416644
1891
06:58
And yes, it is Sunday today.
54
418535
2309
07:00
I hope you've had a good week.
55
420844
1957
07:02
It's been a busy one. Lots to show you.
56
422801
2878
07:05
I have something very special to show you later on.
57
425679
3113
07:09
I and also Mr.
58
429227
1974
07:11
Steve, I suppose I should mention him.
59
431201
2326
07:13
He is coming up at 2:30 to join us
60
433527
3196
07:16
here, talking about a very busy week.
61
436723
3347
07:20
We went to see one of our lovely viewers who is at the moment.
62
440070
6509
07:26
Staying here in England.
63
446763
2259
07:30
So we went
64
450276
1138
07:31
down to a place called Bristol, a beautiful city.
65
451414
3146
07:34
And you might describe it as a port city
66
454978
4719
07:40
because there is a port in that place.
67
460617
3012
07:43
In fact, that's the way in which Bristol became wealthy
68
463663
3982
07:48
and the city it is today, I suppose.
69
468097
3932
07:52
Hello, also to the live chat.
70
472531
1774
07:54
Can I say hello to the live chat?
71
474305
2526
07:56
It's nice to see you here as well.
72
476831
2577
07:59
Hello to.
73
479408
1623
08:01
Who was first? Oh, hello.
74
481031
3062
08:04
Can I say hello to Amalia?
75
484662
2460
08:07
Malaya Nasrat, Who is first today?
76
487122
4802
08:11
You are first.
77
491941
1857
08:13
Congratulations to you.
78
493798
3012
08:16
I was going to give you some applause, but unfortunately,
79
496894
3246
08:20
my little thing down here has stopped working.
80
500140
3363
08:23
And I don't know why. It might be the heat.
81
503855
2493
08:26
You see, I might give it a little bang later to see if I can get it working.
82
506348
5070
08:31
But I would like to have some applause if I can find my applause.
83
511418
3664
08:36
I will give it to you.
84
516337
1222
08:37
But at the moment, I can't find them.
85
517559
2292
08:39
It's a shame, isn't it?
86
519851
1757
08:41
But a round of applause for you.
87
521608
3012
08:44
I think it's so hot in here.
88
524854
1506
08:46
My equipment is starting to melt.
89
526360
2092
08:48
We also have Beatrice.
90
528452
3196
08:51
Hello, Beatrice.
91
531664
1105
08:52
Nice to see you here as well today.
92
532769
2560
08:55
Hello there.
93
535329
1472
08:56
Yes, You are the person who we went to see last week.
94
536801
4585
09:01
We had a wonderful day.
95
541570
1439
09:03
The weather was amazing.
96
543009
2242
09:05
We had the most amazing day.
97
545251
2577
09:07
In Bristol with Beatrice.
98
547828
2460
09:10
And also we visited the people you are staying with at the moment,
99
550288
4601
09:15
one of which is an English teacher.
100
555542
2828
09:18
So I would say during your time here in England, Beatrice,
101
558370
4584
09:22
I would say that you are getting a lot of English
102
562954
5004
09:29
experience and lots of English lessons.
103
569112
3029
09:32
Hello, also to Jemmy from Hong Kong.
104
572492
3782
09:36
We also have Palmira as well.
105
576541
3012
09:40
Talking of which, the teacher
106
580323
2995
09:43
that Beatrice has been learning from here in England.
107
583619
3330
09:47
She originally came from Hong Kong.
108
587552
3011
09:50
It's true.
109
590731
1355
09:52
Hello. Also, Anna.
110
592086
1975
09:54
Tell Emira we have Sandra Gonzalez as well.
111
594061
4902
09:59
And yes, he is here again,
112
599582
3330
10:03
the most energetic person I've ever met in my life.
113
603749
5354
10:09
It is new is Mandela is
114
609271
3011
10:13

115
613588
1355
10:14
Hello, Louis. Nice to see you here as well.
116
614943

618340
3145
10:21

118
621720
4501
10:26
Hello, Tomic.
119
626472
1188
10:27
Nice to see you here as well.
120
627660
1656
10:29
Joining us live on this Sunday.
121
629316
2996
10:32
How is the weather where you are?
122
632680
2342
10:35
And I know that you love talking about the weather.
123
635022
3631
10:38
You really do. I know.
124
638670
1472
10:40
So I want to know, is it hot and sticky where you are at the moment?
125
640142
4619
10:45
Because I know it is here.
126
645313
1188
10:47
I would imagine Mr.
127
647706
836
10:48
Steve is going to complain about
128
648542
3029
10:52
how hot it is in the studio.
129
652240
2493
10:54
Hello. Also to.
130
654733
1908
10:56
To Sia.
131
656641
1054
10:57
Hello, Sia.
132
657695
1255
10:58
Nice to see you back here today.
133
658950
3012
11:02
We also have the Zika.
134
662280
1740
11:04
Nice to see you as well.
135
664020
2309
11:06
Today we are looking at words and phrases connected to the sea
136
666329
5371
11:12
and the ocean because, of course, we went down to Bristol
137
672068
4133
11:16
last week to meet Beatriz.
138
676871
2995
11:19
So I thought it would be fun to do that.
139
679866
2460
11:22
Also, we are talking about something that happens in life,
140
682326
3363
11:25
especially if you are a parent.
141
685689
3480
11:29
Are there any parents watching at the moment?
142
689855
2945
11:32
Are you a parent?
143
692800
1590
11:34
Do you have children?
144
694390
1623
11:36
Maybe your children are still growing up.
145
696013
2577
11:38
Maybe they are still young.
146
698590
2928
11:41
Maybe they've just started school.
147
701518
1924
11:44
One of the most interesting things
148
704563
1523
11:46
I find, especially when I look back in my own life,
149
706086
3447
11:50
are all the experiences I had
150
710554
2995
11:54
when I started school and when I started socialising as a child.
151
714252
5337
11:59
We all have to learn those lessons in life.
152
719673
2995
12:03
Some of those lessons are not easy.
153
723337
2728
12:06
Some of the things we have to find out about
154
726065
2844
12:08
life are not acceptable.
155
728909
3012
12:12
Maybe sometimes we have to suffer slightly as well.
156
732089
3614
12:16
So when you are young, some parents
157
736138
3397
12:19
like to discipline that children.
158
739719
3497
12:23
They like to make sure that their child is prepared
159
743233
3898
12:27
for the real world.
160
747750
2711
12:30
And when I say the real world, I mean reality.
161
750461
3112
12:35
It is probably a good idea
162
755113
2610
12:37
to make sure that your children know that as life goes on,
163
757723
3347
12:41
they might have problems, difficulties, things might go wrong.
164
761254
3480
12:45
Life is not always fair.
165
765671
1991
12:48
So I think sometimes
166
768733
1941
12:50
parents often resort or use
167
770674
3899
12:54
something called tough love.
168
774991
3012
12:59
Have you heard of that expression?
169
779041
1807
13:00
Tough love.
170
780848
1639
13:02
So when we say tough love, we are actually saying
171
782487
3330
13:06
rules or discipline or maybe punishment
172
786118
4920
13:12
that we give out or we administer.
173
792577
3263
13:16
So if you administer something,
174
796660
2276
13:18
it means you give out that thing, you give it to someone.
175
798936
4434
13:23
So quite often tough love is
176
803738
2644
13:26
something parents will give to their children,
177
806382
3346
13:30
so they will be prepared
178
810398
2995
13:33
for the difficulties that life has for them.
179
813878
4384
13:38
And I think it's true. I think it's very true.
180
818312
2995
13:41
Palmeiras says we are hot today.
181
821742
4066
13:46
Yes, I think everyone is.
182
826327
2226
13:48
I have a feeling maybe later today we might have a thunderstorm
183
828553
3982
13:52
or maybe some sort of
184
832920
3012
13:56
storm of some sort.
185
836015
2310
13:58
Maybe wind, rain, thunder, lightning.
186
838325
3547
14:02
As long as it doesn't happen during my live stream.
187
842190
3246
14:05
Because the problem is living around here,
188
845938
2276
14:10
we often lose our electricity.
189
850807
3029
14:14
So if there is a storm or maybe if there is lightning,
190
854405
3380
14:17
sometimes we do lose our electricity here, which is not good.
191
857801
5338
14:23
When you think about it, it isn't a good thing, to be honest with you.
192
863407
3681
14:27
Hello also to Claudia.
193
867908
3062
14:31
Hello, Claudia. And I suppose.
194
871321
3012
14:34
Well, I was going to ask the question.
195
874534
2493
14:37
Let's see if it works.
196
877027
2995
14:40
Here is the question
197
880022
1808
14:41
that I want to ask Claudia right now.
198
881830
3513
14:45
What's cooking, Claudia?
199
885343
2125
14:47
What have you got in the pot?
200
887468
2008
14:49
What's cooking, Claudia?
201
889476
1824
14:51
Is it something spicy and hot?
202
891300
2527
14:53
Is it something salty or not?
203
893827
2409
14:56
Oh, Claudia,
204
896236
2594
14:58
what is in the pot?
205
898830
8768
15:08
Claudia, what is in your pot today?
206
908368
3346
15:11
Please let me know on the live chat.
207
911731
3397
15:15
And yes, you can get in touch with me on the live chat.
208
915128
4200
15:19
Of course, there are other ways of getting in touch as well.
209
919562
3547
15:23
I will show you now on the screen.
210
923143
2309
15:25
You can write to me to my email address.
211
925452
2995
15:28
There it is.
212
928447
753
15:30
You can also follow me on Facebook as well.
213
930187
3213
15:33
Facebook, I have a Facebook page.
214
933701
1974
15:35
And if you want to donate to help, I work continue.
215
935675
2996
15:39
There is my PayPal address as well.
216
939039
3263
15:42
So now there is no excuse for not knowing
217
942870
2912
15:45
how to get in touch.
218
945782
2995
15:49
It's strange.
219
949179
1773
15:50
Mr. Steve and myself,
220
950952
2995
15:54
should I say this?
221
954700
921
15:55
I wonder if I should say this because it might
222
955621
3396
15:59
give you some clues
223
959017
2996
16:03
about something we are planning.
224
963117
2175
16:05
No, I'm not going to say too much.
225
965292
1858
16:07
There, but I will say one thing.
226
967150
2995
16:10
We went to a place last week and it wasn't
227
970212
5806
16:17
it was not
228
977758
2192
16:19
Bristol.
229
979950
937
16:20
It was another place that we went to last week.
230
980887
2878
16:23
Would you like to have a look at it?
231
983765
1406
16:25
So this is the place we went to last week.
232
985171
2225
16:27
Not very far away from where we live.
233
987396
3112
16:30
This is a place called Shrewsbury.
234
990542
2995
16:34
Shrewsbury.
235
994123
1757
16:35
It is a large town, very close to where I live.
236
995880
4233
16:41
But the strange thing
237
1001401
1172
16:42
is, we hardly ever go there.
238
1002573
3547
16:46
We don't go there very often.
239
1006739
2075
16:48
And I'm just wondering where you live.
240
1008814
2995
16:52
Is there a place that you rarely visit, even though you live very close to it?
241
1012361
6091
16:58
No. I remember when we were in Paris
242
1018921
2944
17:01
a couple of weeks ago.
243
1021865
2996
17:05
Lewis Mendez
244
1025413
1489
17:06
said he hadn't been to Paris for a long time,
245
1026902
3146
17:10
even though he doesn't live very far away from it.
246
1030048
3915
17:15
So what about you?
247
1035268
1004
17:16
Is there a place that you rarely visit?
248
1036272
2995
17:19
And then if you look carefully on the screen now, you can see Mr.
249
1039301
2694
17:21
Steve outside a very well known burger chain.
250
1041995
4802
17:26
So that fast food restaurant has been around for many years.
251
1046914
4234
17:31
But the sad thing is, it is very sad.
252
1051717
2961
17:34
There aren't many of them left.
253
1054678
2226
17:36
So I remember as a child going to this particular chain
254
1056904
4869
17:42
of fast food restaurants.
255
1062492
2611
17:45
And then you can see Mr. Steve.
256
1065103
2242
17:47
I wonder what Mr.
257
1067345
987
17:48
Steve has in his back. I wonder
258
1068332
3330
17:52
we might tell you that later on.
259
1072716
1473
17:54
We might share that information with you a little bit later.
260
1074189
3564
17:59
But for now,
261
1079761
1807
18:01
of course, it is English addict and you are welcome to join in as well.
262
1081568
4434
18:06
We also have Fernando.
263
1086337
1857
18:08
Hello, Fernando.
264
1088194
1255
18:09
No, it's nice to see you here as well.
265
1089449
3028
18:13
Pedro Belmont, or should I say.
266
1093381
3012
18:16
Pedro Belmont
267
1096393
2694
18:19
is here today.
268
1099087
2158
18:21
We also have Irene
269
1101245
2996
18:25
and oh, I think we have some viewers in Vietnam.
270
1105261
4886
18:30
Can I say a big thank you for joining me if you are watching in Vietnam,
271
1110448
4953
18:35
because I know I have a lot of viewers to show,
272
1115652
2995
18:38
I believe is how you say hello in Vietnamese.
273
1118765
3363
18:42
Hello also to Glenda.
274
1122630
2041
18:44
Hello, Glenda.
275
1124671
2493
18:47
That is a very British sounding name.
276
1127164
3849
18:51
I have met many girls
277
1131732
3046
18:55
in my life
278
1135832
2008
18:57
and some of them were called Glenda.
279
1137840
2878
19:00
It's true.
280
1140718
1539
19:02
I'm not lying, Christina.
281
1142257
2577
19:04
Oh, hello, Christine.
282
1144834
1807
19:06
I am My lady of leisure is Christine.
283
1146641
5221
19:12
Where are you at the moment, Christine?
284
1152481
1991
19:14
Are you lying on the beach?
285
1154472
2477
19:16
Are you listening to the waves
286
1156949
3011
19:20
lapping on the shore?
287
1160312
2995
19:24
I hope you have plenty of suncream on yourself.
288
1164579
4032
19:29
I think so.
289
1169314
2393
19:31
Hello to
290
1171707
2292
19:33
New win.
291
1173999
1406
19:35
Hello, Tan. You win. Who is watching in Vietnam?
292
1175405
2694
19:38
Hello, Vietnam.
293
1178099
937
19:39
Once again, a very special hello to you as well.
294
1179036
3832
19:44
Claudia has a very busy day in the kitchen.
295
1184189
3330
19:47
I have my hands full.
296
1187620
2342
19:49
I am baking a chocolate cake today for my nephew.
297
1189962
3179
19:53
He lives in Madrid, but right now he is in Argentina.
298
1193526
4836
19:58
I am very, very happy.
299
1198797
2476
20:01
For two years, he has been away.
300
1201273
3381
20:05
So you might describe it as reunited.
301
1205038
4836
20:10
You have been reunited with your nephew.
302
1210393
4166
20:14
He's been away for two years.
303
1214643
1590
20:16
So I hope you have a great time also, Claudia.
304
1216233
2526
20:18
Can I say thank you for your little video message that you sent me?
305
1218759
4351
20:23
Now, I was going to play it here,
306
1223796
2811
20:26
but I wasn't sure if you would allow it
307
1226607
2443
20:29
or if it was a right decision or a wrong decision.
308
1229050
3212
20:33
So I didn't.
309
1233216
1138
20:34
But I might play it next week if you want me to.
310
1234354
3062
20:37
I will.
311
1237768
752
20:38
But thank you. It's always nice to hear from you.
312
1238520
3012
20:42
And of course, it's always nice to see you as well.
313
1242068
4401
20:47
A couple of weeks ago,
314
1247339
2409
20:49
we were in Paris.
315
1249748
1924
20:51
We had a super time.
316
1251672
2276
20:53
We did a live stream as well.
317
1253948
2845
20:56
And we met quite a few of my English addicts
318
1256793
4300
21:01
in real life.
319
1261930
1807
23:21
It was something that happened a couple of weeks ago and we had the most amazing time.
320
1401547
6509
23:32
And I and
321
1412607
3180
23:37
I'm English addict is here again.
322
1417979
5890
23:43
I hope you've had a good week.
323
1423902
2577
23:46
A busy week last week. Mr. Steve.
324
1426479
2644
23:49
By the way, can I just say
325
1429123
2995
23:52
I don't normally talk about our personal lives
326
1432168
2594
23:54
because I'm sure you're not interested at all in what we're up to.
327
1434762
4066
23:59
But this is a sad week for me.
328
1439196
2995
24:02
Do you know why?
329
1442291
2125
24:04
Because next week Mr.
330
1444416
2694
24:07
Steve is going back to work.
331
1447110
3431
24:10
So another week from now.
332
1450959
2660
24:13
So next weekend will be the last weekend that Mr.
333
1453619
3899
24:17
Steve will be a free man because he has decided and I don't know why.
334
1457518
5154
24:24
Maybe he's a maybe Mr.
335
1464027
1657
24:25
Steve's a bit crazy and I don't know.
336
1465684
1673
24:27
He's gone loco, perhaps, but Steve has decided to go back to work,
337
1467357
5354
24:33
so he's starting a new job in a roundabout a week from now.
338
1473548
4133
24:37
In fact, it will be a week tomorrow.
339
1477681
2794
24:40
He will be starting back to work.
340
1480475
2995
24:43
Not only that, he's going to be away as well for some of that time, so I'm going to be
341
1483537
5941
24:50
on my own.
342
1490465
1238
24:51
But also Mr.
343
1491703
1556
24:53
Steve will be busy again with his new job.
344
1493259
3681
24:56
And I have to say
345
1496940
2912
24:59
I'm not really looking forward to it.
346
1499852
2041
25:01
It's going to be very strange because to be honest, I've had Steve with me
347
1501893
4083
25:06
since 2020 when coronavirus and when the lockdown started.
348
1506394
6543
25:13
So Steve was always working here and then he retired
349
1513322
4467
25:18
and now he decides to go back to work.
350
1518542
2995
25:22
Some people think he's gone crazy, personal.
351
1522508
2844
25:25
Lee From my own point of view, it is Mr.
352
1525352
3548
25:28
Steve's choice. It is his life.
353
1528900
2995
25:32
So I've said that I'm happy whatever
354
1532313
2493
25:34
he wants to do, it's his choice
355
1534806
2996
25:37
and I will always support him whatever he decides to do.
356
1537919
3748
25:41
But he's gone back to work.
357
1541667
1656
25:43
He will be anyway.
358
1543323
1439
25:44
So he's got another job and he's going back to work
359
1544762
2979
25:48
in a few days time.
360
1548761
1289
25:50
And I have to say I'm a little
361
1550050
2995
25:53
what's the word I'm looking for a little sad about it because it means every day
362
1553463
6242
25:59
I will spend more time again on my own and I'm not looking forward to it.
363
1559705
4651
26:04
If I was honest.
364
1564591
1572
26:06
Anyway, at least I have something to keep me company.
365
1566163
2929
26:09
And that is you.
366
1569092
2342
26:11
By the way, don't forget there are some new short
367
1571434
2995
26:14
lessons as well on my YouTube channel.
368
1574429
3163
26:17
I will mention it now.
369
1577592
2242
26:19
There are some English short lessons
370
1579834
3564
26:23
I've decided to call them English shorts, you see.
371
1583699
3581
26:28
And there is a playlist underneath this video.
372
1588267
3414
26:31
So down there there is a link to a playlist
373
1591898
3514
26:35
and I'm putting new lessons on almost every day
374
1595680
4518
26:40
there will be a new short English lesson.
375
1600198
3012
26:43
So what do you think?
376
1603712
1238
26:44
Is it a good idea?
377
1604950
2493
26:47
Are you happy with
378
1607443
2092
26:49
these new short lessons that I'm producing?
379
1609535
3095
26:53
So something that you can watch for a short time
380
1613651
3146
26:57
and then every day you can learn something new
381
1617064
2979
27:00
with these short video lessons.
382
1620043
2995
27:03
So if you haven't yet seen them, don't forget to check them out.
383
1623373
3798
27:08
Mr. Steve will be here soon.
384
1628443
2995
27:11
Pedro Hello, Pedro.
385
1631772
2326
27:14
Apparently, according to Pedro, Mr.
386
1634098
3029
27:17
Steve is the breadwinner.
387
1637127
3012
27:20
When we describe someone as a breadwinner,
388
1640172
2995
27:23
we say that they are the person who is bringing money
389
1643519
3012
27:26
into the house
390
1646915
2544
27:29
they are earning and bringing
391
1649459
3062
27:33
a wage or salary into the house.
392
1653659
2978
27:36
Well, he might be right there.
393
1656637
1523
27:38
Or then again, you might be wrong.
394
1658160
2527
27:40
Coming up in a moment.
395
1660687
1104
27:41
Yes, the man we just mentioned, it's getting very dark outside.
396
1661791
4417
27:46
Have you noticed? I think we might be getting some rain.
397
1666208
2845
27:50
Mr. Steve is on his way.
398
1670107
1556
27:51
But first, some lovely moments shared with
399
1671663
4300
27:57
Mother Nature.
400
1677821
1673
32:01
I love nature so much.
401
1921415
1808
32:03
I want to go into the nearest field and run around
402
1923223
3530
32:08
and because it's so hot, I might even take all my clothes off.
403
1928493
3481
32:11
Oh, Mr. Duncan, that's very naughty.
404
1931974
2844
32:32
Naughty, but nice.
405
1952003
1773
32:33
That's what they say, apparently.
406
1953793
1523
32:35
Oh, there he is.
407
1955316
1439
32:36
Can you say hello, everyone?
408
1956755
1623
32:38
Yes, I'm here.
409
1958378
1322
32:39
Chop chop, says Tomic. Don't be shy.
410
1959700
2995
32:42
Don't be shy.
411
1962812
669
32:43
Come over here. Come near, come near.
412
1963481
2862
32:46
Don't be so far away. Don't be so distant.
413
1966343
2995
32:49
That's bad, sir. Is it?
414
1969656
2342
32:51
Here he is, Mr. Steve.
415
1971998
2360
32:54
He's here with us. Hello, Mr. Steve. Welcome. Welcome.
416
1974358
2710
32:57
Welcome to lovely viewers from across the globe, and you're all special.
417
1977068
4970
33:02
This is a more accurate way now.
418
1982322
2360
33:05
You're all special.
419
1985702
1239
33:06
I was going to make a joke then, but unless you knew the reference from The Simpsons,
420
1986941
5220
33:12
it really wouldn't have worked very well and might have offended. Yes.
421
1992161
3832
33:16
And that and also the episode is from about 1994.
422
1996010
4099
33:20
So I don't think anyone is going to know the reference that you're coming out with.
423
2000427
3765
33:24
You said you were going to be naked. Mr. Duncan.
424
2004209
1991
33:26
I felt like, well, Christina, I think, is naked on the beach.
425
2006200
3480
33:29
Really? No, no, not at the moment.
426
2009731
2878
33:32
But she might be a Christina.
427
2012609
1773
33:34
I'm going to tell you what Christina has been doing today.
428
2014382
2125
33:36
She's been riding her bike everywhere, says, Patrick.
429
2016507
3364
33:40
Can I just tell you about Christina?
430
2020440
1690
33:42
Yes, go on.
431
2022130
953
33:43
Christina has been riding her bike, and now she is lying
432
2023083
4117
33:47
under a tree watching us.
433
2027618
3330
33:51
How delightful. Yes,
434
2031667
1222
33:53
but Tomek said he wanted to
435
2033859
2242
33:56
apply sun cream to Christina's body,
436
2036101
3012
34:00
so I seen that she was by the beach or somewhere with the sun out. But.
437
2040452
4317
34:04
But nevertheless, people are doing things.
438
2044819
1824
34:06
Of course, as we discovered when we met
439
2046643
2995
34:10
this wonderful group in Paris.
440
2050123
2309
34:12
The people do all sorts of things when they're watching us.
441
2052432
3029
34:15
Don't they?
442
2055461
736
34:16
Just sitting there obediently watching as they're doing other things.
443
2056197
3815
34:20
Sometimes I don't want to think about what people might be doing.
444
2060163
3296
34:23
I mean, some people I have a feeling,
445
2063593
1824
34:25
some people might be watching us whilst they're on the toilet, probably because maybe,
446
2065417
3982
34:29
maybe the sound of our voice over our faces
447
2069583
2996
34:32
will help them to to move things along.
448
2072729
3464
34:36
Well, in 2 hours you probably need to go to the toilet at some point and you could have
449
2076243
5455
34:42
the ear plugs, headphones to listen to us.
450
2082702
3330
34:47
So going back to what people do when they're watching us, Claudia is baking a cake.
451
2087103
3714
34:50
Oh, a chocolate cake, I believe.
452
2090851
2560
34:53
I believe she said yes.
453
2093411
1288
34:54
Her nephew is coming back after two years away.
454
2094699
2995
34:58
Well, I'm jealous that they're going to he or he's going to get this lovely cake
455
2098414
3865
35:03
and that we can't have a peace because your cooking is legendary,
456
2103149
4183
35:08
is it not, as his topics, for that matter.
457
2108353
2694
35:11
Talking of food now, we had a little trip during the week.
458
2111047
5756
35:17
We went to see one of our lovely students and in a moment it was that Mr.
459
2117489
6342
35:23
Duncan can I just go and see? I don't remember.
460
2123831
2727
35:26
Okay, I'm joking, I'm joking.
461
2126558
2945
35:29
I'll just do that when I get to the end of the sentence.
462
2129503
3146
35:32
Because now I can't remember where I was
463
2132649
1372
35:36
during the week.
464
2136280
720
35:37
We went to see one of our lovely viewers
465
2137000
2995
35:40
on Friday
466
2140062
2008
35:42
and I also did some videoing.
467
2142070
3681
35:46
So I took some images, some moving images.
468
2146269
3113
35:50
That's what we called them in the business.
469
2150971
1506
35:52
You see, we call the moving images, but maybe in the 1920s. Yes.
470
2152477
5338
35:57
Well, that was that was what I was going with, you see.
471
2157999
2794
36:00
And we decided to do some filming whilst we were there.
472
2160793
4786
36:05
Shall we share the video now?
473
2165763
2108
36:07
So here it is.
474
2167871
1674
36:09
It's a nice video.
475
2169545
1824
36:11
Lots of things we were actually on board the ship.
476
2171369
4450
36:17
Yes. The I think it was the SS Great Britain.
477
2177108
5036
36:22
That is correct. Mr.
478
2182362
887
36:23
Duncan, the name of the ship, a very old ship.
479
2183249
3012
36:27
And also we were spending time with Beatrice as well.
480
2187181
4568
36:31
Would you like to have a look at it now, Would you?
481
2191749
2460
36:34
Yes, because I haven't seen your video yet, Mr. Duncan.
482
2194209
3514
36:37
I was there, obviously, but I haven't seen the video.
483
2197723
2158
36:39
Okay, then let's watch it right now, shall we?
484
2199881
2209
36:42
Are you ready? I am. Are you ready? Let's go.
485
2202090
3279
43:11
And that is is.
486
2591577
1154
43:12
I hope you enjoyed that.
487
2592731
1222
43:13
We had the most amazing time on Friday.
488
2593953
4300
43:18
And I think I would say that that was probably the best exhibition
489
2598253
6710
43:25
I've ever seen of anything ever
490
2605180
2996
43:28
in my life.
491
2608862
2426
43:31
It was very good. Mr.
492
2611288
1740
43:33
Duncan I was very impressed with the attention to detail of this, the first ever
493
2613028
5555
43:39
screw propeller ship to cross the Atlantic. Yes.
494
2619152
4016
43:43
And also the longest.
495
2623168
1657
43:44
Yes, the longest ship ever built at that time.
496
2624825
3932
43:48
Exactly. It was made of iron as well.
497
2628757
3112
43:52
Rusted away, of course.
498
2632321
1422
43:53
And what was incredible was Mr.
499
2633743
2627
43:56
Duncan. Obviously,
500
2636370
1322
43:59
Beatrice is from Argentina.
501
2639098
2593
44:01
She's have to go now because as a friend come round.
502
2641691
2878
44:04
But I think she's seen the video,
503
2644569
2995
44:08
That particular boat that was built in Bristol
504
2648167
2526
44:10
SS Great Britain ended up after a million miles
505
2650693
4317
44:15
of sailing around the globe,
506
2655010
2996
44:18
ended up in what
507
2658156
2426
44:20
we call the Falkland Islands or the Malvinas.
508
2660582
2996
44:23
That's where it ended up scuttled in a bay scuttle.
509
2663645
4166
44:27
That means it's been it's sunk and then it was eventually brought back to the to the UK.
510
2667811
7111
44:34
Was it 1970 something? I think it was in the 1970s.
511
2674922
3029
44:37
It was brought back to be restored because it's of its historical value.
512
2677951
4116
44:43
They've never had a screw propeller before on a boat like that.
513
2683322
3330
44:46
So it was incredible.
514
2686652
786
44:47
Anyway, it was fascinating, but to be honest with you, the work they did on
515
2687438
4284
44:51
that ship was amazing because when it was brought back, there was very little left of it.
516
2691722
4652
44:56
There was only really the main part of the hull
517
2696608
2794
44:59
and parts of the upper deck.
518
2699402
2945
45:02
Most of it was was destroyed or even missing,
519
2702347
3748
45:06
or there were parts of the ship just lying around.
520
2706095
3782
45:09
So they did bring everything back.
521
2709877
2075
45:11
But I have to say, everything in there,
522
2711952
2962
45:14
there is a there is the most amazing exhibition that you can walk around
523
2714914
5153
45:20
and then you go onto the ship itself and you can walk around.
524
2720067
3882
45:23
So in that video what you saw that was actually on the ship,
525
2723949
4736
45:28
we were actually walking around inside the ship and everything was recreated
526
2728685
5404
45:34
very realistically in some cases
527
2734742
2761
45:37
almost too realistically,
528
2737503
2995
45:40
because there was a place, a part of the ship
529
2740632
3447
45:44
where where the the crew would go for their their puppies
530
2744581
5471
45:51
and they had gone.
531
2751274
2108
45:53
But this is amazing.
532
2753382
954
45:54
Steve Always with the poop. Yeah.
533
2754336
1824
45:56
They had gone to the trouble.
534
2756160
1740
45:57
They had actually recreated the smell
535
2757900
4233
46:03
of an old toilet on board a seafaring ship.
536
2763455
4233
46:08
I think that's amazing.
537
2768492
1439
46:09
So that's what you call having attention to detail everything.
538
2769931
4317
46:14
So if you ever get a chance to go to Bristol, visit
539
2774699
3397
46:18
the SS Great Britain, it is the most amazing exhibition.
540
2778130
3865
46:21
And as I said, I think it's probably the best exhibition I've ever seen.
541
2781995
4919
46:27
Christina wants to go
542
2787031
3012
46:30
and she's saying, We must have the next meet of the Mr.
543
2790328
4267
46:34
Duncan's English lesson group
544
2794595
2995
46:38
in England.
545
2798343
903
46:39
We did discuss this actually, when we were in Paris. Yes.
546
2799246
2996
46:42
And it will happen.
547
2802492
1590
46:44
And we can all go onto the SS Great Britain.
548
2804082
2928
46:47
It's a long way for us to drive.
549
2807010
1272
46:48
It took us 2 hours to get there and 2 hours to get back.
550
2808282
3447
46:51
That's still not is worth it.
551
2811880
1254
46:53
It's still not as far as other people will have to come.
552
2813134
2761
46:55
Some people and some people will have to come from the other side of the world.
553
2815895
3899
47:00
They will indeed, yes.
554
2820095
1322
47:02
But it
555
2822371
602
47:02
was a great day out and it was nice to see Beatrice again.
556
2822973
3364
47:06
And hopefully we will see Beatrice and everybody else
557
2826788
4133
47:10
once again and new people when we have another.
558
2830921
3581
47:14
We should make this an annual event.
559
2834502
2544
47:17
Yes. In June every year. Yes.
560
2837046
2944
47:19
And we go to a different country, Steve, let's not commit ourselves to anything.
561
2839990
4200
47:24
I'm not committing.
562
2844190
753
47:24
I'm not saying, you know, not not in June.
563
2844943
2309
47:27
It might not be June, it might be July, it might be February.
564
2847252
3012
47:30
We'll we'll see. We'll see what happens.
565
2850281
2577
47:32
We'll keep it open.
566
2852858
1355
47:34
Anyway, Steve, we were talking about
567
2854213
3464
47:38
going on the sea, I suppose I
568
2858279
4150
47:42
it would be a good idea to have some interesting sea and ocean words and phrases because of that.
569
2862630
5053
47:47
Because now I'm feeling as if I want to go out
570
2867850
3849
47:51
and explore and navigate with my long telescope.
571
2871699
4886
47:56
How about if you got your sextant, Mrs. Duncan?
572
2876585
2393
47:58
Mr. Steve always has a very tight
573
2878978
3363
48:02
hold on his sextant, don't you?
574
2882341
3012
48:05
Yes, I'm well, sextant and up,
575
2885922
2627
48:09
as they say, never sextant.
576
2889603
1439
48:11
In fact, Lewis said that on a message on a group message the other day.
577
2891042
4350
48:15
My father was
578
2895961
2611
48:18
a sailor, Mr. Lincoln.
579
2898572
1472
48:20
Oh, he was in the merchant Navy as a navigator.
580
2900044
3447
48:24
And I've got his sextant
581
2904010
2995
48:27
that he had from
582
2907457
2945
48:30
when he was very young, 16, something like that.
583
2910402
2995
48:33
So it's very old
584
2913631
2075
48:35
and, you know, I'm proud to have that. Yes.
585
2915706
2644
48:38
And he was he was a master mariner,
586
2918350
2995
48:41
which is a captain, basically.
587
2921830
2912
48:44
But he was going to be a captain.
588
2924742
2694
48:47
And he was taking he took all his exams.
589
2927436
2342
48:49
And then I was born.
590
2929778
2995
48:53
So Steve came along and spoilt everything.
591
2933158
2594
48:55
So my father decided to leave the sea, which was the love of his life.
592
2935752
4099
49:00
And he regretted it ever since. Yes.
593
2940671
4049
49:05
Anyway, now we have some sea
594
2945340
2643
49:07
and ocean words and phrases and there is no water falling from the sky.
595
2947983
5037
49:13
The rain is coming down very heavily.
596
2953388
2158
49:15
So if we suddenly disappear, by the way, it might mean
597
2955546
3531
49:19
that we've had a power cut, the electricity might go off.
598
2959077
3782
49:23
So don't be too surprised if we suddenly disappear.
599
2963377
2694
49:26
Is the camera can they can people see the outside with the camera what is behind us?
600
2966071
6041
49:33
Yes, but I would just saying show the camera
601
2973367
2962
49:36
so that people can see what the weather is like
602
2976329
3011
49:39
is what I'm saying.
603
2979642
2878
49:42
There it is.
604
2982520
502
49:43
As the weather
605
2983022
2041
49:45
maybe go.
606
2985063
636
49:45
Yes, it's stormy.
607
2985699
1857
49:47
It's raining.
608
2987556
803
49:48
It's raining. Yes.
609
2988359
2560
49:50
Anyway, that was I again,
610
2990919
2644
49:53
didn't know you were talking about words and phrases connected to the sea. Mr.
611
2993563
3464
49:57
Jones said Yes.
612
2997044
1941
49:58
Words and phrases for sea and ocean.
613
2998985
3028
50:02
Some very quick ones.
614
3002465
1238
50:03
And I know someone is going to say, Mr.
615
3003703
2309
50:06
Duncan, you talked about this a few weeks ago.
616
3006012
2661
50:08
Well, here are some extra ones that I didn't mention at the time,
617
3008673
3965
50:12
so I'm going to show them right now some sea and ocean words and phrases.
618
3012973
5488
50:18
Here's a good one.
619
3018461
1322
50:19
If something is
620
3019783
2694
50:22
a drop in the ocean,
621
3022477
2393
50:25
we can say that that is a small amount.
622
3025991
3263
50:29
Quite often when we are talking about how much money we spent on something
623
3029555
4585
50:34
or how much we spent on a certain thing,
624
3034542
2995
50:37
how much money we spent in our budget,
625
3037771
3430
50:41
if it's only a very small amount, we can say that it is just
626
3041703
4351
50:47
a drop in the ocean.
627
3047225
2543
50:49
It's a great one.
628
3049768
1054
50:50
So any any any ways of using that.
629
3050822
2159
50:52
Steve, thanks.
630
3052981
1389
50:54
Thanks for putting me on the spot. Mr. Duncan.
631
3054370
1857
50:56
No, I'm just saying you if you were if somebody asked you, somebody say, for example,
632
3056227
7011
51:03
who was going to buy a house or going to buy a car, let's say somebody wanted to buy a car
633
3063238
4351
51:07
and they said, Can you help me out with a small amount of money?
634
3067990
4083
51:12
And you said, here's £5
635
3072073
2995
51:15
and obviously the car's probably going to cost 30,000.
636
3075553
2996
51:18
You would say, Thank you very much.
637
3078933
1356
51:20
But that's just a drop in the ocean compared to what I need. Yes,
638
3080289
4618
51:27
it would be one way of using that phrase.
639
3087216
2159
51:29
That's it.
640
3089375
753
51:30
So maybe in a company, if you have to spend some money on a certain project or something you have to do,
641
3090128
5187
51:35
maybe you have a budget, but the budget might be £10,000.
642
3095700
5488
51:41
But of course the company has lots of money, so they might be concerned
643
3101188
4601
51:45
or some people might be worried that the company is spending £10,000.
644
3105789
4853
51:50
But you might say, don't worry, it's just a drop in the ocean.
645
3110642
4919
51:55
It's only a small amount of money.
646
3115561
3598
51:59
A small quantity, yes.
647
3119460
2142
52:01
So if you were a very wealthy person
648
3121602
2995
52:04
and like what?
649
3124982
2008
52:06
Like we're not and you wanted to go first class in a plane
650
3126990
5170
52:13
costing you £3,000, somebody might say, oh, what a huge amount of money.
651
3133331
4251
52:17
You might reply, Well, that's a drop in the ocean compared to what I've got in my bank.
652
3137582
5220
52:23
Obviously, you would be accused of being a horrible show off.
653
3143522
3480
52:27
Yes, but yes, your example was very good, Mr.
654
3147303
2995
52:30
Duncan.
655
3150298
670
52:30
You want to spend money on a project or on some research and somebody says that's a lot of money.
656
3150968
5789
52:36
And you say that's a drop in the ocean, really, compared to what we might get back. Yes.
657
3156757
5304
52:42
At the end of the project, if it was to work, if we were to develop this new project, project,
658
3162246
4735
52:48
the, you know,
659
3168420
1054
52:49
million pounds that we would spend in developing this new money could be said to be a drop in the ocean
660
3169474
6308
52:55
compared to the return that you would get from selling that product or service. Yes.
661
3175782
5388
53:01
So quite often you have to put money in to get money out.
662
3181589
4384
53:05
That is the basics, I suppose, of business, of having a business
663
3185973
3697
53:10
you have to invest to reap, I suppose.
664
3190022
4116
53:14
Here's another one.
665
3194674
836
53:15
Set sail.
666
3195510
2644
53:18
If you set sail, it means you, you head off,
667
3198154
3966
53:22
you begin a journey,
668
3202772
2527
53:25
you set sail and you can use this figuratively as well.
669
3205299
4702
53:30
Yes, you can.
670
3210001
1322
53:31
That's how it's often used, isn't it?
671
3211323
2995
53:35
Obviously, if you are on a boat or on a ship,
672
3215338
2895
53:38
you would start your journey and say, Well, come on, let's set sail.
673
3218233
3765
53:42
Meaning that you are going to put the sails.
674
3222634
2041
53:46
Of course, in
675
3226449
619
53:47
most boats these days there aren't any sails at all.
676
3227068
4049
53:51
It's just an engine that you might still say, Let's set sail.
677
3231117
4568
53:56
Or you might say you go off on a journey somewhere.
678
3236020
3330
53:59
It could be in the car. You might say, Let's set sail.
679
3239350
2995
54:02
I mean, you're in a car, but you might just say that anyway because it's figurative.
680
3242429
3246
54:05
You're saying that the journey is beginning
681
3245943
2995
54:10
with the weather is very bad.
682
3250477
1322
54:11
By the way, Christine, this is a drop in the ocean is the same in the Italian phrase.
683
3251799
5371
54:17
Yes, I would imagine it's used in many languages.
684
3257170
2778
54:19
That's one of the things I always find interesting about idioms and expressions is quite often
685
3259948
5287
54:25
they are used exactly the same in other languages.
686
3265235
4702
54:29
Or maybe there is a slight variation, but the meaning is still the same.
687
3269937
4451
54:34
So So you head off, you set sail, you might say that
688
3274505
4367
54:38
when we start the live stream at 2 p.m.
689
3278889
3531
54:42
every Sunday, I could say it's time to set sail
690
3282754
4117
54:47
with today's live stream. Yes.
691
3287105
3095
54:51
Talking of idioms, I made my sister laugh the other day.
692
3291238
4417
54:55
Mr. Duncan Mm hmm.
693
3295655
1372
54:57
Because we use idioms a lot
694
3297027
2828
54:59
when we're teaching or when you're teaching.
695
3299855
2995
55:03
And I was talking about we were trying to
696
3303152
3212
55:06
my sister and I are trying to sell my mother's house.
697
3306364
3598
55:09
Okay. Okay.
698
3309962
1773
55:11
And of course, it's a very difficult time
699
3311735
3029
55:14
to sell anything at the moment because of interest rates.
700
3314764
3865
55:18
And I just cut a long story short,
701
3318629
3012
55:22
somebody has made an offer, but it's a low offer.
702
3322143
3665
55:25
Okay. Okay.
703
3325992
1439
55:27
Lower than we would like.
704
3327431
1188
55:28
So I said, but nobody else has.
705
3328619
3463
55:32
And my sister said, Well, shall we wait to see if anybody else makes an offer?
706
3332082
5037
55:37
And I said, Well, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
707
3337119
4401
55:42
And my sister burst out laughing because she said, I haven't heard
708
3342457
3212
55:45
that phrase, that idiom for many, many years.
709
3345669
4234
55:49
And she thought I sounded very old fashioned by saying it,
710
3349903
2995
55:53
because it means if you've got something, it's better, isn't it?
711
3353433
3146
55:57
It's better to hold onto that thing you have than to try to get something that you haven't got. Yes.
712
3357399
4919
56:02
So you hold onto the thing.
713
3362469
1891
56:04
The one bird you have in your hand
714
3364360
2091
56:06
is more than those two in the books because you haven't actually got them. Yes.
715
3366451
4117
56:10
But you might try to catch them and then lose the one bird that you had.
716
3370568
3095
56:13
Exactly. Exactly. That's what it's all about.
717
3373680
2644
56:16
So anyway, she laughed, which just goes to prove that
718
3376324
3129
56:19
we do often talk about idioms, but they're not.
719
3379871
2995
56:23
No, no, no, no, not as much.
720
3383318
1874
56:25
I think I will not accept that.
721
3385192
2778
56:27
I'm not going to accept any of what you just said. Well,
722
3387970
3078
56:32
Steve, Steve,
723
3392019
2995
56:35
they all still used idioms and expressions are still used
724
3395918
3664
56:39
in general day to day conversation.
725
3399582
3865
56:43
Now, you don't hear everyone in the on the planet.
726
3403933
2878
56:46
Know I'm just saying it made my sister laugh.
727
3406811
1974
56:48
Yeah, she might have sat for a long time, but.
728
3408785
2075
56:50
But you said that the people that use idioms, but they do all the time.
729
3410860
3832
56:55
All this. Absolutely. All the time.
730
3415060
1941
56:57
So everybody uses them in every sentence all the time.
731
3417001
4049
57:01
Well, that's just.
732
3421084
1204
57:02
Well, now you're just being churlish. Yeah, exactly.
733
3422288
2795
57:05
Yes, but don't.
734
3425083
1456
57:06
Well, people like it when we argue on the live stream.
735
3426539
2911
57:09
Well, to be honest, I don't like it.
736
3429450
2644
57:12
Here's another one.
737
3432094
1673
57:13
Oh, you might.
738
3433767
2142
57:15
Yeah, I'm just good.
739
3435909
1322
57:17
My nose sort of dust, because I've been tidying out.
740
3437231
3296
57:20
Tidying? Have you?
741
3440728
1087
57:22
Because.
742
3442803
518
57:23
And you've obviously
743
3443321
1322
57:24
have been telling people that I'm going back to work because I saw some of the comments. Yes.
744
3444643
4050
57:29
On the live stream.
745
3449011
1439
57:30
And by the way, Pedro, I haven't not got two incomes coming in.
746
3450450
3547
57:35
Pedro seems to think I've got my time anyway, Steve and I.
747
3455653
4050
57:39
But I haven't. Yeah.
748
3459719
1841
57:41
Anyway. Yes.
749
3461560
1389
57:42
What?
750
3462949
401
57:43
What you say? What's the point?
751
3463350
3012
57:46
I don't know what I'm going to say now. Yes, I did.
752
3466530
2878
57:49
What did I actually say?
753
3469408
1740
57:51
Well, I'm talking about a C, an ocean words and phrases.
754
3471148
3280
57:54
That's right, yes.
755
3474695
1556
57:56
And you've talked about me going back to work.
756
3476251
2577
57:58
And I mentioned that for a reason, but I can't remember why I did.
757
3478828
3698
58:02
And this this everyone is what I have to put up with all the time.
758
3482760
3481
58:06
And this is what I have to put up with all the time, which is not so bad when you think about it.
759
3486609
4284
58:10
And believe me, it may seem charming on here,
760
3490893
2995
58:14
but when it's when you have it 24/7.
761
3494222
2644
58:16
Well, no, that's not right.
762
3496866
1288
58:18
See? Beatrice? Beatrice.
763
3498154
2694
58:20
Oh, when you met us in Paris
764
3500848
3330
58:24
and also last Friday, did you enjoy our company?
765
3504178
4685
58:29
Was it nice?
766
3509165
1188
58:30
This is not here anymore.
767
3510353
1355
58:31
Oh, I can't answer. She's had to go to meet some friend.
768
3511708
3129
58:34
If Beatrice was here, she would say yes.
769
3514870
2544
58:37
Mr. Duncan, It was lovely spending time with you, Mr.
770
3517414
4718
58:42
Steve is charming, and Mr.
771
3522132
2326
58:44
Duncan is very funny.
772
3524458
2410
58:46
And that's what she would say.
773
3526868
1891
58:48
So I'm saying it because that's what Beatrice would say if she here.
774
3528759
3865
58:53
So meeting us in real life isn't that bad.
775
3533678
2794
58:56
Don't worry.
776
3536472
1021
58:57
Full steam ahead, Mr.
777
3537493
1305
58:58
Steve.
778
3538798
3012
59:02
Full steam ahead.
779
3542914
1239
59:04
What was that noise anyway? Yet full steam ahead.
780
3544153
2995
59:07
It means that it's going full pelt, full speed.
781
3547265
3597
59:12
You could be in a meeting.
782
3552703
2928
59:15
Okay? Yeah. And really?
783
3555631
2243
59:17
Yeah, well, you could be anywhere.
784
3557874
1455
59:19
It's just.
785
3559329
619
59:19
It can be made to use figuratively, isn't it?
786
3559948
3230
59:23
I would say.
787
3563194
787
59:23
Or maybe literally.
788
3563981
1221
59:25
Obviously, steam isn't used anymore,
789
3565202
2996
59:28
but steam is
790
3568382
2643
59:31
something which is loud.
791
3571025
1590
59:32
Obvious. When.
792
3572615
1740
59:34
When, when a train or a ship was powered by steam,
793
3574355
4535
59:39
there was clouds of smoke and steam everywhere.
794
3579927
2611
59:42
It really felt and looked like you were going fast,
795
3582538
3580
59:46
increasing speed, going at something to the maximum.
796
3586687
4552
59:51
So when you say full steam ahead, it just refers to the fact that
797
3591757
3531
59:56
you are doing something
798
3596375
2577
59:58
at maximum capacity.
799
3598952
1841
60:00
You are increasing speed or you don't stop.
800
3600793
3346
60:04
You are going to go ahead whatever happens.
801
3604407
2326
60:06
Yeah, full steam ahead.
802
3606733
2359
60:09
So on a on a ship, you would say that when you wanted the ship to go faster,
803
3609092
4953
60:14
you want to gain speed.
804
3614413
2627
60:17
But of course, figuratively, as you said, we can use it also when we want to say
805
3617040
5405
60:22
that we are not going to stop with our plans
806
3622445
5137
60:27
or our intention, we are going full steam ahead.
807
3627582
3782
60:31
Maybe if you are setting up a business, you are ready to go full steam ahead,
808
3631364
5488
60:36
even though there could be potential difficulty is
809
3636852
3263
60:40
that could give you reasons to stop doing something.
810
3640717
3112
60:44
Maybe, maybe, maybe somebody says, well,
811
3644315
2945
60:47
don't set up a business now, not within inflation, in the economy as it is,
812
3647260
4819
60:52
you might say, Well, no, I'm going to go full steam ahead yet.
813
3652079
3631
60:55
I'm not going to stop. I'm going to do it anyway.
814
3655961
2426
60:58
That's it.
815
3658387
385
60:59
And you could say
816
3659943
1355
61:01
with these live streams, you could we could come on at the beginning
817
3661298
4167
61:05
of the live streams and say, we're not going to slow down.
818
3665615
3330
61:09
We're going to go full steam ahead.
819
3669213
1840
61:11
We're going to give the maximum amount of effort. Yes.
820
3671053
3079
61:14
Into these live streams.
821
3674618
1372
61:15
It also refers to effort that you're giving.
822
3675990
2342
61:18
There is no stopping.
823
3678332
1439
61:19
There is no stopping a yes.
824
3679771
2644
61:22
Here we go. You might go against the tide.
825
3682415
3296
61:26
Oh, this is an interesting what now this phrase
826
3686013
2760
61:28
has been used to describe me.
827
3688773
2996
61:31
What's that?
828
3691953
1322
61:33
Well, the thing I just said go against the time I was looking at the live stream. Yes.
829
3693275
3865
61:38
What Happens when your eyes work.
830
3698160
1958
61:40
Is that working?
831
3700118
1171
61:41
I like the way you.
832
3701289
837
61:42
You. You're constantly trying to pick yourself up, Mr.
833
3702126
2426
61:44
Duncan. I'm not.
834
3704552
1322
61:45
I'm not doing anything.
835
3705874
1322
61:47
I'm just. I'm just going by popular opinion.
836
3707196
2845
61:50
I am.
837
3710041
702
61:50
I'm just repeating what the general public say about me.
838
3710743
3380
61:54
So if you go against the tide, it means you react against something.
839
3714508
5171
61:59
Or maybe you do not conform.
840
3719679
2643
62:02
You do something that goes the opposite way.
841
3722322
2996
62:05
So everyone is going that way, but I decide to go that way.
842
3725435
4769
62:10
So I'm going against you.
843
3730287
1925
62:12
Go against the tide in terms of
844
3732212
3011
62:15
not not in terms of walking or moving. No.
845
3735357
3514
62:21
You mean in terms of the way you think?
846
3741030
2192
62:23
The way you do things? That's it.
847
3743222
2560
62:25
You're not.
848
3745782
1071
62:26
It's the opposite to going with the flow.
849
3746853
2978
62:29
You could say.
850
3749831
720
62:30
So a business, for example, if you sell
851
3750551
3497
62:34
something that might be
852
3754048
3012
62:37
or your place of work, everybody does things according to a certain pattern.
853
3757093
4769
62:41
Things of things have always been done.
854
3761862
1941
62:43
This way everybody goes with the flow
855
3763803
2995
62:46
and then somebody comes in and says, Well, no, I think we should do that differently.
856
3766798
3815
62:50
Have you thought about doing it this way?
857
3770797
2694
62:53
And that would be an example of of somebody going against the tide,
858
3773491
4049
62:57
doing something in a different way that may achieve a better result.
859
3777540
4167
63:02
So the opposite to going with the flow.
860
3782577
3012
63:05
Yes. Is got go against the tide.
861
3785589
2660
63:08
Obviously if you go with the flow, you're going with the tide.
862
3788249
2410
63:10
It's easy, it's an easy thing to do.
863
3790659
3028
63:13
Whereas going against the tide requires more effort,
864
3793687
3414
63:17
more thought and we don't mean this literally.
865
3797101
3882
63:20
We are not on a river with the tide coming in, going the other way.
866
3800983
4066
63:25
Well, you can use it, you say, Well, yes, you can.
867
3805049
2460
63:27
But nevertheless, for the purposes in this case, if it's physical
868
3807509
3882
63:31
or it can also be something that you can use figuratively.
869
3811692
4317
63:36
So you go against the tide in a ship.
870
3816394
2041
63:38
It's very hard or you go against conformity,
871
3818435
4267
63:42
which is what we do, which is what that phrase is normally used for.
872
3822936
4234
63:49
Yes, you can.
873
3829060
2209
63:51
There you go.
874
3831269
870
63:52
So, yeah, you're doing something in a different way that other people don't normally do.
875
3832139
4836
63:56
That's it's a bit like a bit like this, you see.
876
3836975
2694
63:59
And of course, people in business
877
3839669
2861
64:02
that achieve things take risks.
878
3842530
2995
64:06
Successful business people take risks, don't they?
879
3846580
2995
64:09
And some of them pay off,
880
3849792
2728
64:12
some of them work, some of them don't.
881
3852520
2359
64:14
And they could be say, said to be going.
882
3854879
1958
64:16
You can say Elon Musk goes against the tide
883
3856837
3597
64:20
or goes against the trend because he's come out with electric cars.
884
3860953
4283
64:25
Isn't everyone doing that now?
885
3865839
2041
64:27
Well, they are now, yes.
886
3867880
1489
64:29
I'm just saying, you know, he was innovative, I guess innovative way that he did it.
887
3869369
4184
64:33
He was originally going to move on.
888
3873553
1305
64:34
You're very argumentative today, don't you think?
889
3874858
2409
64:37
He's argumentative.
890
3877267
971
64:38
I'm in a hurry.
891
3878238
703
64:38
That's why we've got so much to talk about. So maybe.
892
3878941
3028
64:42
Maybe you shouldn't go full steam ahead, Mr. Duncan.
893
3882003
2677
64:44
Maybe you need to pull it back a notch. Yes,
894
3884680
2844
64:49
we are going full steam ahead.
895
3889181
1824
64:51
That's what Mr.
896
3891005
569
64:51
Duncan wants to do.
897
3891574
753
64:52
I just hope we don't get a hole in our bow.
898
3892327
3597
64:55
We don't want to be becalmed.
899
3895958
1790
64:57
And what becalmed?
900
3897748
3012
65:01
If you are becalmed, it means it's like a it's like a ship at sea.
901
3901530
3580
65:05
Suddenly the wind disappears.
902
3905110
2962
65:08
It's a sailing ship and it becomes becalmed
903
3908072
3213
65:11
because the wind is gone and it can't move anywhere. Yes.
904
3911820
4083
65:16
Which actually leads us on to this.
905
3916271
2326
65:18
You might be up the creek without a paddle.
906
3918597
3614
65:22
That is something that we can say that when when a person has done something,
907
3922713
4083
65:27
maybe they've made mistakes or maybe they've been foolish in their work
908
3927147
5221
65:32
or their spending of money, maybe they find themselves
909
3932368
4083
65:36
in a situation where they are stuck
910
3936668
2811
65:39
and they can't move, or maybe they are lost,
911
3939479
3012
65:42
they are moving around aimlessly, they are adrift.
912
3942642
4635
65:47
We can say that they are up the creek without a paddle.
913
3947762
4016
65:51
Some people say this about the government in this country
914
3951912
2995
65:55
because they've they've been quite,
915
3955258
2594
65:57
what's the word, shambolic over the past few years.
916
3957852
3798
66:01
And now everyone feels as if they've been left up the creek without a paddle.
917
3961650
6493
66:08
Yes, you've got yourself into a difficult situation
918
3968143
2995
66:11
and you've got no means to get out of it because obviously if you had a
919
3971322
4618
66:17
half, you had a paddle and you really were a creek.
920
3977111
3079
66:20
What is a creek? It's like a waterway, isn't.
921
3980190
2527
66:22
It's a narrow waterway normally found sort of
922
3982717
2844
66:25
in in mountainous areas or jungle areas.
923
3985561
3213
66:29
It's a it's a it's a narrow river.
924
3989075
2962
66:32
And obviously, if you get stuck in that
925
3992037
3012
66:36
and you haven't got a paddle, you can't get yourself out.
926
3996103
3045
66:39
But if you are metaphorically up the creek without a paddle, it means you got yourself
927
3999968
4585
66:44
into a very difficult situation like the government have with inflation
928
4004553
3848
66:48
and having to raise interest rates are up the creek without a paddle because
929
4008401
4585
66:54
by increasing interest rates
930
4014157
2427
66:56
to try and combat inflation, it could you know, it's
931
4016584
3781
67:00
a very difficult situation to be in because then everybody's
932
4020365
2995
67:04
expenses go up and then the economy crashes, which isn't what they want.
933
4024231
4752
67:09
So, yeah, that's a very good phrase to use for the government at the present time.
934
4029301
5739
67:15
Yes, a lot of us feel as if we've been left up the creek, haven't got the means
935
4035040
5973
67:21
to get out of this difficult situation that you've got yourself into is another one.
936
4041013
4368
67:26
The tide is turning.
937
4046552
2460
67:29
Oh, so we had the tide a few moments ago against the tide,
938
4049012
4501
67:33
but now the tide is turning.
939
4053814
3397
67:37
Maybe a change is approaching.
940
4057629
3598
67:41
Things that were done in a certain way in the past
941
4061227
3631
67:45
are now going to be done in a different way.
942
4065309
2996
67:48
Maybe changes are coming.
943
4068305
2342
67:50
The tide is turning quite often we use this
944
4070647
3982
67:54
when something bad becomes good.
945
4074730
3213
67:59
I literally Mr.
946
4079164
1355
68:00
Duncan literally saw this phrase used in a news article today.
947
4080519
4083
68:05
They said the headline was The tide is turning on Wokeism.
948
4085188
4049
68:09
Yeah, you see.
949
4089304
1138
68:10
So these idioms are used.
950
4090442
2995
68:14
They are the tide is turning on Wokeism
951
4094023
3229
68:17
So what they're saying is that
952
4097737
2694
68:20
it's Wokeism has been going all one way for a long time
953
4100431
4619
68:25
and suddenly people now are reacting against it and it's going to come back.
954
4105301
4802
68:30
One of the ways to pull back.
955
4110103
1790
68:31
So what is Wokeism Wokeism is that,
956
4111893
3782
68:38
yes, it's a situation where everyone's being very, very careful
957
4118068
3313
68:41
about what they say to people, how they address people.
958
4121381
4551
68:45
You might call it an extreme form of political correctness.
959
4125965
3180
68:49
Yes, political correctness.
960
4129563
2878
68:52
It's all to do with using pronouns.
961
4132441
2560
68:55
And and I'm being very careful. Right.
962
4135001
3213
68:58
You know, what you say to people of different colour and things like that.
963
4138348
3681
69:02
Anything is perceived as being as being
964
4142079
2995
69:05
almost something that can make somebody angry.
965
4145643
3899
69:09
Yeah, I think I think woke being woke means
966
4149542
4166
69:13
that you're going to deep into all of these things
967
4153708
3882
69:18
and so you are trying not to offend anyone.
968
4158092
2945
69:21
But when you try to do that, well, you can't do it.
969
4161037
3631
69:24
It's very hard not to offend at some point today.
970
4164668
4802
69:29
I think today, maybe at some point
971
4169772
2911
69:32
today we have offended someone, but it wasn't our intention.
972
4172683
4936
69:37
We didn't mean to offend you.
973
4177619
2594
69:40
So that said, you see so that was a good so that just shows
974
4180213
3949
69:44
that certain expressions are actually used.
975
4184162
3898
69:48
So the tide is changing.
976
4188060
2945
69:51
The tide is turning can use that in political ways as it's often
977
4191005
4167
69:55
used to denote a change in in the way politics is moving.
978
4195172
4869
70:00
So you could have had a right wing government for a long time
979
4200493
4166
70:05
and they haven't done very well.
980
4205078
2660
70:07
And everybody's suddenly complaining.
981
4207738
2292
70:10
And somebody might write an article saying the tide is turning on right wing politics or something
982
4210030
5489
70:15
like that, and the implication being that things are going
983
4215519
3112
70:18
to become more centre ground or left wing. Yes.
984
4218631
3899
70:22
So any any change of direction.
985
4222982
2861
70:25
And quite often it it is used figuratively
986
4225843
4016
70:29
and also positively as well. And
987
4229859
3681
70:34
he is.
988
4234996
702
70:35
Here's a good one.
989
4235698
670
70:36
Steve, a final one. Oh,
990
4236368
3028
70:40
everything is shipshape
991
4240752
3497
70:44
and Bristol fashion is a great thing.
992
4244851
3012
70:48
So this is used quite often when we are talking about things that are
993
4248181
5020
70:53
that are prepared or they are ready to be used or something is ready to go,
994
4253218
5622
70:59
we can say that they are shipshape and Bristol fashion
995
4259308
4267
71:03
and of course this refers to the shipping of,
996
4263575
5104
71:09
well a time long
997
4269398
2543
71:11
since gone, but that's what they used to say.
998
4271941
3481
71:15
So Bristol fashion refers to the ships in Bristol
999
4275422
4986
71:20
being ready to set sail so everything is shipshape and Bristol fashion
1000
4280525
5639
71:26
you've got the rigging correctly set, you've got all your supplies.
1001
4286465
5372
71:32
Everything is ready for you to set sail literally.
1002
4292255
3664
71:36
And garage is there is this ship
1003
4296388
2644
71:40
ready to sail?
1004
4300772
1205
71:41
Has it got everything that it needs?
1005
4301977
2995
71:45
And of course, that doesn't necessarily just apply to a ship.
1006
4305306
3096
71:49
We're saying using metaphorically, it means that everything is correct and satisfactory.
1007
4309205
4652
71:53
You're ready to go.
1008
4313857
1472
71:55
Is this business shipshape?
1009
4315329
1941
71:57
And Bristol Fashion?
1010
4317270
1389
71:58
In other words, have you got all the right people employed in it?
1011
4318659
3029
72:02
You can, of course, just shorten that to shipshape.
1012
4322039
3012
72:05
Yes, you can leave you can leave out the Bristol Fashion bit
1013
4325369
3397
72:09
and just say, I don't think this company is shipshape.
1014
4329151
3597
72:13
And if you say that, you're saying you don't think that you've got the right people employed,
1015
4333568
4886
72:18
you know, the right investment in the right places,
1016
4338822
2995
72:23
nothing seems to be going right
1017
4343256
1590
72:24
because things need to be changed. No.
1018
4344846
3564
72:29
Mm. Everything is shipshape.
1019
4349196
2661
72:31
And the Bristol Kristina says, I think the tide would be turning for me.
1020
4351857
3915
72:36
Yes, that's it.
1021
4356007
870
72:36
So you hope that something good is coming for you in the future
1022
4356877
4768
72:42
and that that's a correct use of the phrase.
1023
4362783
2159
72:44
I hope the tide will turn because often things might go badly for you, for
1024
4364942
4936
72:50
we always we all go through periods of life when things don't go well,
1025
4370162
4200
72:55
and sometimes you get two or three things in a row
1026
4375032
3145
72:58
that don't go right.
1027
4378629
2610
73:01
You might lose your job and then somebody you love might die
1028
4381239
3715
73:05
and then you might be involved in a car accident.
1029
4385222
2861
73:08
You might hurt yourself.
1030
4388083
1556
73:09
Your partner decides to leave you.
1031
4389639
2008
73:11
Yes, hopefully.
1032
4391647
2042
73:13
And and these things happen.
1033
4393689
3212
73:16
Then you could save a life, you know, surely the tide is going to turn
1034
4396901
3932
73:22
and my life will get better.
1035
4402206
1773
73:23
And of course, things always do balance themselves out.
1036
4403979
2577
73:26
But quite often do anyway.
1037
4406556
2995
73:29
So Christine is hoping that the tide will turn
1038
4409652
2995
73:33
on her life, a change, a positive change would occur.
1039
4413450
4083
73:41
But first, a
1040
4421582
2192
73:43
strange way to drink out of a bottle of water that they
1041
4423774
3715
73:47
those are bottles of water that we were given on the plane
1042
4427706
3213
73:51
on the way back.
1043
4431722
2711
73:54
I think Mr.
1044
4434433
585
73:55
Duncan has refilled.
1045
4435018
1356
73:56
Yes. Well, that particular one, it's yes this is not the original aeroplane water.
1046
4436374
5522
74:01
This is now water that I've refilled the bottle with and I'm glad
1047
4441896
5254
74:07
we were able to clear that up because it would have really worried me.
1048
4447283
3581
74:11
Talking of lessons in life, Steve,
1049
4451015
2995
74:14
that's what we're talking about right now.
1050
4454412
2760
74:17
Lessons in life.
1051
4457172
2092
74:19
No more key phrases, then.
1052
4459264
2159
74:21
No, that's it will be okay. We're done with that.
1053
4461423
2710
74:24
We have lifted up the anchor and we're now sailing away from that subject.
1054
4464133
4819
74:29
But we are heading to New shore.
1055
4469404
3614
74:33
Let's hope we don't hit the rocks.
1056
4473102
1857
74:34
I can see Land Ahoy! Land Ahoy!
1057
4474959
3631
74:41
So that we hit the rocks.
1058
4481251
3012
74:44
That's the that's a sort of a C phrase, Mr.
1059
4484547
2493
74:47
Chairman, referring to the fact that things aren't going very well.
1060
4487040
4317
74:51
You've literally gone to ground or your boat is sinking,
1061
4491357
3213
74:54
I would imagine, at the moment because of what happened during the week.
1062
4494570
3430
74:58
There's a certain news story.
1063
4498000
1473
74:59
We probably won't go too far with that one,
1064
4499473
4668
75:04
but just just saying it the rocks anyway,
1065
4504392
2995
75:08
when do you a young Mr. Steve.
1066
4508375
1740
75:10
We've got to move on now. We're moving on to another thing.
1067
4510115
2225
75:12
A new thing, a new subject.
1068
4512340
2995
75:16
When you were young, Mr.
1069
4516423
987
75:17
Steve, were your parents
1070
4517410
3497
75:22
strict?
1071
4522229
2761
75:24
I would say not terribly strict.
1072
4524990
3129
75:28
Did they teach you about
1073
4528119
2995
75:31
the unfairness of life?
1074
4531767
3012
75:35
I don't think they did.
1075
4535381
1339
75:36
Really? No. Okay.
1076
4536720
1740
75:39
I think
1077
4539548
1104
75:40
the message of my parents was, was always,
1078
4540652
2711
75:43
if you work hard and get educated
1079
4543363
3296
75:46
and they instilled the work ethic into me.
1080
4546659
3949
75:51
So you would never you never really punish you will be successful, punished.
1081
4551311
3798
75:55
Well, yes. I mean, I did things wrong.
1082
4555410
2075
75:57
I mean, I you know, I fell into my father's roses
1083
4557485
3413
76:01
and I got a I got a reprimand for that.
1084
4561467
3631
76:05
Well, that's a good like a window in my father's greenhouse.
1085
4565199
3781
76:08
So he's a good listener. Debate is a good life. Lessons.
1086
4568980
2996
76:12
That's it, right?
1087
4572327
2091
76:14
So if you if you do something wrong, then you are punished for it.
1088
4574418
4602
76:19
Yes, I was certainly punished.
1089
4579539
2242
76:21
Probably unfairly.
1090
4581781
1489
76:23
It's funny how you those things.
1091
4583270
2326
76:25
I was very young, only about three,
1092
4585596
2644
76:28
and I fell into my father's prized rose bushes. Yes.
1093
4588240
3982
76:32
And he smacked me and.
1094
4592523
1389
76:33
I can still remember it now. That's what I'm on about.
1095
4593912
2995
76:37
There we go. Finally.
1096
4597560
1589
76:39
Don't hold it against it.
1097
4599149
1356
76:40
Only took us 3 minutes, but we finally got to that point.
1098
4600505
3263
76:43
That is it, you see.
1099
4603985
1289
76:45
And we might describe that type of reaction as
1100
4605274
3513
76:51
tough love,
1101
4611130
2811
76:53
tough love.
1102
4613941
569
76:54
So a very interesting subject.
1103
4614510
1807
76:56
And the reason why I was thinking of this is when we were in Paris,
1104
4616317
4016
77:00
the one thing I noticed is how all the young people
1105
4620668
3112
77:04
were incredibly attractive.
1106
4624148
2794
77:06
Yes, but I wasn't going to say that.
1107
4626942
3447
77:10
But you did
1108
4630389
1891
77:12
incredibly well, behaved,
1109
4632280
2995
77:16
quiet, polite, respectful.
1110
4636179
3781
77:19
And I thought, well, I wonder I wonder what French parents are like.
1111
4639960
5221
77:25
Maybe they are very strict.
1112
4645181
1740
77:26
Maybe they treat their children strictly.
1113
4646921
3146
77:30
They they they lay down the rules
1114
4650117
3313
77:33
and they tell their children when they've done the wrong.
1115
4653430
2995
77:36
If they do something wrong, if they misbehave, they will be punished.
1116
4656610
4467
77:41
So that is the meaning of tough love.
1117
4661830
3497
77:45
You might describe tough love as a harsh lesson.
1118
4665327
5823
77:52
So tough love is a harsh lesson given with care.
1119
4672271
4401
77:57
So the reason why you do it is because you care.
1120
4677090
5137
78:02
Which might sound strange to some people.
1121
4682713
2610
78:05
So you are punishing someone because you care about them?
1122
4685323
2995
78:09
Yes. Because you want them to be safe.
1123
4689456
4283
78:13
You want them to learn lessons in life to make mention.
1124
4693739
3163
78:16
You must have mentioned this earlier.
1125
4696952
2041
78:18
Does it mean to make art?
1126
4698993
1322
78:20
Does it mean does it mean Spartan upbringing?
1127
4700315
2995
78:24
Don't think it necessarily means.
1128
4704130
1590
78:25
Well, Spartan normally means if something is is empty
1129
4705720
4200
78:29
or that there isn't much of something something as spartan.
1130
4709920
4919
78:34
It is it is empty or there isn't
1131
4714973
3464
78:38
much of something in a certain place.
1132
4718437
3363
78:41
It is very spartan, sparse. Yes.
1133
4721800
3230
78:45
I mean, a parent some parents might not buy their children
1134
4725030
3932
78:49
lots of presents and gifts,
1135
4729413
2996
78:53
and you could describe that as a bit spartan, but
1136
4733563
2995
78:57
they might be trying to teach their children
1137
4737546
2225
78:59
the meaning of money and to appreciate
1138
4739771
2995
79:04
money and possessions
1139
4744122
2309
79:06
by not just necessarily buying you everything you want. Yes.
1140
4746431
5070
79:11
But saying to you what, if you want that thing,
1141
4751501
2995
79:15
then maybe you should go and get a job
1142
4755148
2494
79:18
delivering newspapers or something like that
1143
4758813
3028
79:21
so that you appreciate the value of money, because if I just buy that for you, so.
1144
4761841
4384
79:26
So a child, a new bike screams.
1145
4766225
3146
79:29
That is
1146
4769371
1322
79:30
why I want a new bike.
1147
4770693
1406
79:32
Give me a new bike.
1148
4772099
1623
79:33
And what you could cause could easily give in as a parent.
1149
4773722
4501
79:38
And so there you are.
1150
4778223
1773
79:39
But at a certain age when they could work, you could say to them, Well,
1151
4779996
3514
79:45
now I'm not going to buy you that bike.
1152
4785184
1773
79:46
If you really want that bike, then
1153
4786957
2995
79:50
I'll help you to get a job locally to deliver papers or pick fruit.
1154
4790371
4149
79:55
And then you're not telling necessarily why,
1155
4795022
2996
79:58
but then the lesson is learnt because they then appreciate the value of money. Yes.
1156
4798018
5354
80:03
And they associate hard work with
1157
4803372
2995
80:06
getting something as opposed to it coming easily.
1158
4806752
3330
80:10
So these lessons, these lessons that are taught by parents are what you might call life
1159
4810199
6291
80:16
lessons or ways of getting that child
1160
4816507
3481
80:20
accustomed to the reality of life.
1161
4820523
4384
80:24
So tough love is a harsh lesson given with care.
1162
4824907
3330
80:28
You might you might scold someone.
1163
4828270
2995
80:31
So to scold is to punish you.
1164
4831332
3949
80:35
Punish child.
1165
4835281
1590
80:36
You give them tough love.
1166
4836871
2794
80:39
Yes. It's not abuse.
1167
4839665
2159
80:41
No, it's the opposite of abuse. Not abuse.
1168
4841824
2911
80:45
So tough love is not abuse.
1169
4845689
2292
80:47
I mean, it could
1170
4847981
2678
80:50
know it's not abuse,
1171
4850659
1522
80:52
but if you were to take it too far, if you just put,
1172
4852181
3631
80:55
you know, lock your child in a room every time they did something wrong for a week
1173
4855980
3932
81:00
or you beat them, then you that would be abuse.
1174
4860999
4200
81:05
But it's it's a life lesson that you're giving, like
1175
4865701
2728
81:08
the example that I gave the child.
1176
4868429
3012
81:11
You know, one of your children wants a new bike
1177
4871742
2694
81:14
or a new laptop or a new phone. Yes.
1178
4874436
2961
81:17
And they're 14 and they could just sit at home on the Internet all day and do nothing.
1179
4877397
6526
81:24
And you said, well, if you want that, I'm not going to keep buying you things all the time.
1180
4884241
4167
81:28
Go out and get a job. Yes.
1181
4888541
1674
81:30
And you could help them to get that job and help them show them
1182
4890215
3748
81:33
how what they do is not just go out and get a job.
1183
4893963
4718
81:38
You would actually physically then show them or take them to places
1184
4898681
3565
81:42
and help them to learn these lessons in life.
1185
4902246
3112
81:45
So tough love is something that parents often
1186
4905358
3514
81:49
and I suppose in the past you might say that in the past
1187
4909323
3514
81:53
parents were much tougher
1188
4913222
2995
81:56
or more strict than my parents because we've talked to our yours.
1189
4916401
4535
82:00
My parents were quite strict in certain ways,
1190
4920936
3598
82:05
certain ways of behaviour, but also I suppose
1191
4925136
4501
82:09
my life lessons were learned just through the way
1192
4929637
3982
82:13
my family had to struggle to get by because my family, they weren't
1193
4933619
5054
82:19
they weren't
1194
4939777
653
82:20
rolling in money as many people think, but it wasn't like that.
1195
4940430
4618
82:25
So I suppose observing my own parents
1196
4945416
3447
82:28
struggle was a kind of life lesson.
1197
4948863
4350
82:33
I wouldn't describe it as tough love because they didn't have any choice.
1198
4953213
4351
82:37
They weren't trying to teach a lesson, but just from their own experiences
1199
4957564
5070
82:43
of trying to manage.
1200
4963086
2961
82:46
You can say that that was a form of life lesson, I suppose.
1201
4966047
4836
82:50
Yes. Letting people find out how to do things
1202
4970917
3062
82:55
without you helping them all the time and doesn't have to be children.
1203
4975183
4284
82:59
Of course it can be.
1204
4979467
2092
83:01
You can be the same thing can be in
1205
4981559
3212
83:04
relationships as well, you know, with adults.
1206
4984771
3815
83:08
But it just means that you are
1207
4988586
2995
83:11
you're not helping somebody,
1208
4991883
1890
83:13
you know, giving your advice or, you know, giving something.
1209
4993773
4016
83:18
You're you're forcing somebody
1210
4998726
2544
83:21
to find out how to do it themselves. Yes.
1211
5001270
3012
83:24
And then they learn how to do something. Yes.
1212
5004399
4584
83:29
I always say that the most valuable lessons in life quite often are the toughest,
1213
5009285
4802
83:34
the ones that cause the most pain.
1214
5014472
2878
83:37
I suppose so, yes.
1215
5017350
1807
83:39
So, for example, you might be somebody that
1216
5019157
2962
83:43
likes to or,
1217
5023123
803
83:43
you know, a friend, for example, you're a group of friends and.
1218
5023926
3748
83:47
One of you
1219
5027674
1824
83:49
is always is going out with some horrible person that is
1220
5029498
3480
83:53
is using them for their money or something like that.
1221
5033497
4016
83:57
And you you tell them,
1222
5037998
2995
84:01
you know,
1223
5041211
1439
84:02
that person's a bad person, but they don't listen to you.
1224
5042650
2995
84:05
So the love there would be
1225
5045946
2460
84:08
you just have to let them find out on their own.
1226
5048406
3028
84:11
Or maybe they've done it once and then they do it again.
1227
5051585
2794
84:14
And so you don't
1228
5054379
2995
84:18
help them.
1229
5058311
586
84:18
You don't go up to that other.
1230
5058897
1539
84:20
They have to sometimes people have to learn lessons
1231
5060436
2996
84:23
that by themselves, otherwise they don't actually learn.
1232
5063766
3263
84:27
Yes. Well, if a person is older, then then you don't you don't do it.
1233
5067063
4317
84:31
You don't give them tough love because they should know by then.
1234
5071380
2878
84:34
So that's that's why it's always useful to
1235
5074258
2861
84:37
to get young people to
1236
5077119
2911
84:40
to experience some of the hardships.
1237
5080030
2996
84:43
I think that is one of the big criticisms nowadays of younger generations.
1238
5083059
4953
84:48
It seems like they just want everything to be easy.
1239
5088012
2995
84:51
I want to have a nice job.
1240
5091459
1439
84:52
I want to be an Internet star.
1241
5092898
2041
84:54
I want to have lots of money.
1242
5094939
1791
84:56
I want to do all these things.
1243
5096730
2108
84:58
But then when real life comes along and says,
1244
5098838
3665
85:04
You can't have those
1245
5104142
1088
85:05
things, I'm afraid you have to work for them.
1246
5105230
2995
85:08
They might feel as if somehow they they are offended by it
1247
5108225
4049
85:12
because why can't I have all these things So?
1248
5112274
3899
85:16
A parent might sometimes say He has to learn some time.
1249
5116173
4886
85:21
He has to learn some time the hard way.
1250
5121210
2794
85:24
Quite often the hard way or she has to realise life is not easy.
1251
5124004
6877
85:30
You might often hear parents say this to each other.
1252
5130881
3949
85:34
Yes, it's like, you know, it's not like if there's a flame burning.
1253
5134930
4217
85:39
Yeah.
1254
5139365
1054
85:40
I mean, you wouldn't take it to Extreme and say the gas was on on the stove
1255
5140419
4467
85:44
and your wanted to put you was going to put this hand on the stove
1256
5144886
4736
85:49
or on the boiling water, you wouldn't say, oh well no, he has to learn tough love.
1257
5149622
5321
85:54
Well let him burn his hands and yet learn the hard way.
1258
5154943
3714
85:58
Work for me.
1259
5158842
686
85:59
You wouldn't do that.
1260
5159528
1104
86:00
You wouldn't go to that extreme. No,
1261
5160632
2125
86:03
but the life lessons, from my point of view,
1262
5163778
4049
86:07
life lessons are things that you are going to experience as you get older.
1263
5167860
4150
86:12
And having those experiences when you are younger
1264
5172663
3597
86:16
will allow you to accept the reality
1265
5176829
5104
86:22
that life sometimes is really unfair.
1266
5182451
5003
86:28
And I think young people need to to know that before
1267
5188442
2794
86:31
they they wander off into the real world.
1268
5191236
2995
86:34
Not that we know anything about parenting, but they barely receive otherwise invited.
1269
5194231
4869
86:39
Fernando Hello, Claudia.
1270
5199100
2912
86:42
Around to Sample
1271
5202012
2476
86:44
some chocolate cake in Buenos Aries.
1272
5204488
3313
86:49
Maybe you could save some for
1273
5209023
2995
86:52
for Beatrice as she comes back.
1274
5212570
2510
86:55
Sure. She would love a peace.
1275
5215080
1958
86:57
So many people living in Buenos Aires is a brand.
1276
5217038
3179
87:00
Is there is a brand?
1277
5220217
720
87:00
Is Iri's brand is areas I think is you pronounce it,
1278
5220937
3329
87:05
but it's a shame we're
1279
5225220
1238
87:06
not coming because we'd have some chocolate cake as well.
1280
5226458
2995
87:10
Tough love
1281
5230508
1924
87:12
teaching your child about the realities of life is another one to administer.
1282
5232432
4819
87:17
Oh, you give, you administer.
1283
5237502
2878
87:20
So I mentioned this word earlier.
1284
5240380
1623
87:22
It's a good word, actually If you administer it is a verb.
1285
5242003
4100
87:26
You are giving something.
1286
5246103
1740
87:27
You are treating a person with a certain
1287
5247843
3062
87:31
type of medicine you administer.
1288
5251959
2794
87:34
So a doctor might administer medicine.
1289
5254753
3916
87:39
A person, a parent even might administer
1290
5259639
3715
87:43
the tough love to their child.
1291
5263371
2995
87:46
So they are giving them a reality check.
1292
5266717
3481
87:50
I like that word, by the way.
1293
5270348
1707
87:52
So we all have these, don't we, Steve, to learn the hard way.
1294
5272055
3480
87:55
We all, even at our age, sometimes we might have
1295
5275535
4050
87:59
a reality check, maybe something we think will happen
1296
5279585
3329
88:03
or maybe something we think will go our way and everything will be fine.
1297
5283483
4117
88:07
But then suddenly we realise it won't go that way.
1298
5287951
3447
88:11
It might be more difficult than we imagined or thought.
1299
5291498
4585
88:16
So you have a reality check
1300
5296769
3012
88:19
or of course you have a taste of real life,
1301
5299865
2995
88:23
which, as you know I am a big believer of experience.
1302
5303278
4351
88:27
Having experience in your life is very good for you, no matter what age you are.
1303
5307629
6509
88:36
Israel has very kindly reminded
1304
5316480
3012
88:39
everybody that they should, if they haven't already likes.
1305
5319760
3263
88:43
Please, can you like please, can you like is it helps Mr.
1306
5323776
3781
88:47
Duncan to be seen around the world.
1307
5327557
3665
88:52
We don't want any tough love here.
1308
5332326
2995
88:55
Please, like Mr.
1309
5335422
1020
88:56
Duncan.
1310
5336442
1607
88:58
And thank you for those that have,
1311
5338049
2593
89:00
because it really does help Mr.
1312
5340642
2176
89:02
Duncan to be seen around the world.
1313
5342818
3011
89:06
Claudia says that children are as weak as weeds.
1314
5346331
3498
89:10
There is a good phrase as weak as weeds.
1315
5350113
2694
89:12
Yeah, well, every generation comes along, I think
1316
5352807
3012
89:16
isn't as tough as the one before.
1317
5356923
2995
89:20
I mean, when you think about
1318
5360588
2192
89:22
how your grandparents screw up,
1319
5362780
2995
89:26
they might not have even had electricity or running water.
1320
5366294
3564
89:30
And then your parents
1321
5370778
2142
89:32
and then you think of the way you I mean, the way I was brought up
1322
5372920
4367
89:39
was completely different to my parents.
1323
5379161
2911
89:42
I mean, I had an easy upbringing, really.
1324
5382072
3146
89:45
When I think back, you know, my father had a good job.
1325
5385218
3146
89:49
We lived a fairly comfortable life,
1326
5389753
2175
89:51
I would say certainly above average for the 1970s.
1327
5391928
3815
89:56
And, you know, I pretty much everything I wanted,
1328
5396161
3447
90:00
although I was
1329
5400311
2928
90:03
that was instilled in me
1330
5403239
2945
90:06
that if you want something in life, you need to for it.
1331
5406184
2694
90:08
Yeah, education.
1332
5408878
1305
90:10
And I've never forgotten that.
1333
5410183
2544
90:12
And it's just why we have to do lists.
1334
5412727
2493
90:15
Yes, I always like to do things.
1335
5415220
1707
90:16
I suppose laziness is something that we all suffer from.
1336
5416927
3530
90:20
And if you are, if you are young,
1337
5420825
3297
90:24
you might find that if you allow your child
1338
5424875
3263
90:28
or young person to be lazy and have everything done for them,
1339
5428138
3764
90:32
they might expect everything in their life
1340
5432321
2777
90:35
to come as easily as that.
1341
5435098
2560
90:37
So it can be be useful.
1342
5437658
2812
90:40
But of course some parents have.
1343
5440470
2141
90:42
I think some children are just evil.
1344
5442611
1824
90:45
Okay.
1345
5445573
569
90:46
I think sometimes a parent can do everything it can,
1346
5446142
3514
90:50
but the child just has a certain character that
1347
5450292
3145
90:55
you can't work with.
1348
5455211
1606
90:56
Christine is pointing this out.
1349
5456817
2828
90:59
The character of the person is important.
1350
5459645
2728
91:02
And however a child is born, pretty much their character
1351
5462373
5337
91:08
is is something that you can't really change.
1352
5468279
3213
91:11
You sort of you're born with it with a particular nature, aren't you?
1353
5471492
3932
91:15
That's true.
1354
5475458
635
91:16
And you always hear of parents where, you know,
1355
5476093
4769
91:20
the children are unruly and behaved, badly behaved.
1356
5480862
5539
91:27
But it's not necessarily
1357
5487539
2158
91:29
people tend to blame the parents, but it's not necessarily the parents don't know.
1358
5489697
4351
91:34
That is true because sometimes you just get a bad child. Yes.
1359
5494115
4082
91:38
And no matter what you do, that child always is going to be bad.
1360
5498432
4082
91:42
I mean,
1361
5502514
385
91:44
yeah.
1362
5504171
535
91:44
Anyway, we won't go.
1363
5504706
1439
91:46
Well, that leads us on to our phrase here, you say so this is a very useful phrase.
1364
5506145
5338
91:51
Again, one that may sound old fashioned, but I think is still relevant.
1365
5511483
5890
91:58
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
1366
5518093
3045
92:01
So if you don't punish your child ever,
1367
5521138
3012
92:04
you give them complete freedom, Do whatever they want.
1368
5524150
3798
92:08
You end up with. Well, what you just said.
1369
5528383
2577
92:10
So that you're saying, though, if you don't hate your child.
1370
5530960
3598
92:14
Well, in that in that sense.
1371
5534558
2392
92:16
But I think these days it's more figuratively they've become spoilt.
1372
5536950
3732
92:20
Yeah.
1373
5540832
268
92:21
You can't hate your children now.
1374
5541100
1673
92:22
Yes, you can be sent to prison for that.
1375
5542773
2527
92:25
So. So yes, originally you would beat your child to get them to behave.
1376
5545300
5103
92:31
But this is kind of figurative.
1377
5551023
3296
92:34
So it's not saying you should really be your child.
1378
5554654
2610
92:37
It's saying if you don't punish your child
1379
5557264
3028
92:40
or give them some sort of life lesson,
1380
5560292
3966
92:44
then that child will go through life completely entitled.
1381
5564643
4802
92:49
They will feel as if the world has to give them everything is spoilt.
1382
5569562
4987
92:54
There's nothing worse than a spoilt child.
1383
5574549
2108
92:56
This is we screaming for attention and wanting something.
1384
5576657
3263
92:59
I always remember that when we went to Turkey, we went to Turkey.
1385
5579920
3146
93:03
The first time we went to Turkey there was well, the place we were at
1386
5583066
4417
93:07
there was supposed to be no children staying there
1387
5587617
3012
93:10
because that's one of the reasons why we went, because it said no children.
1388
5590712
3816
93:14
And when we arrived there was this family and they had this
1389
5594862
3330
93:18
really annoying, spoilt little brat.
1390
5598778
5772
93:25
She was she was a brat I'm sorry,
1391
5605153
2694
93:27
and she was making so much noise and getting so much attention from everyone
1392
5607847
5371
93:33
and she knew what she was doing and she was so annoying
1393
5613519
2962
93:36
and we were slightly annoyed because the holiday was
1394
5616481
4267
93:41
it was sold to us as
1395
5621819
1874
93:43
child free, no children, no screaming kids anyway.
1396
5623693
3898
93:48
And when we got there, we had the most the world's most precocious,
1397
5628010
4049
93:52
spoilt kid ever see.
1398
5632377
3447
93:56
I when, when, when we grew up
1399
5636577
3012
93:59
we were always when we were in public,
1400
5639856
2427
94:02
when we went out with my parents anyway, we were always very quiet.
1401
5642283
4082
94:06
There was a phrase that was always used when my mother grew up.
1402
5646750
3782
94:11
Children should be seen and not heard and that was a very common phrase
1403
5651402
6040
94:17
that people used in the I don't know when it started,
1404
5657442
3799
94:21
but certainly there was using it in the 1940s still,
1405
5661241
3480
94:26
children should be seen and not heard,
1406
5666763
2125
94:28
but now children are seen and heard.
1407
5668888
3480
94:32
Yes, but when you know, we would never when I was growing up,
1408
5672669
3999
94:36
if we went out to somebody else's
1409
5676668
3029
94:39
house, we were in public on a bus.
1410
5679697
2995
94:44
I don't imagine your family ever used the bus.
1411
5684767
2276
94:47
Well, if we were if we were, you know, in a public place,
1412
5687043
3781
94:51
in a restaurant or something like that, we wouldn't be screaming, shouting.
1413
5691393
3715
94:55
Sometimes you go out for a meal, don't you, in there?
1414
5695509
2226
94:57
And parents have got children and the children are running around and screaming
1415
5697735
4785
95:02
and they're encouraging them.
1416
5702520
2159
95:04
That would be you know, that's very bad behaviour to encourage from a child.
1417
5704679
5070
95:09
So that's not just about child. You've got bad parents.
1418
5709749
2794
95:12
But some parents think that's how you know, no, let my children do what they want.
1419
5712543
4468
95:18
They just expressing themselves.
1420
5718032
2493
95:20
But, you know, it's very disrespectful to to other people.
1421
5720525
3932
95:24
If you're paying to go out for a meal somewhere,
1422
5724457
4200
95:29
you don't want to be disturbed by children or even other adults
1423
5729109
4384
95:33
because some people some of the adults get.
1424
5733493
2359
95:35
Anyway, let's not go into that. It's true, though.
1425
5735852
1924
95:37
Sometimes adults can behave just like spoilt children. Yes.
1426
5737776
6091
95:43
So finally we have this last
1427
5743867
1673
95:46
phrase and yes, can I quickly say something?
1428
5746711
3514
95:50
Alessandra and Alessandra says
1429
5750527
3564
95:54
that nowadays teachers can't even tell the children off.
1430
5754091
3597
95:58
That's correct.
1431
5758207
1221
95:59
You see, when we were growing up, if the teacher,
1432
5759428
4033
96:03
if you were bad at school, did something wrong,
1433
5763628
3012
96:06
you would get a phone call.
1434
5766657
2644
96:09
Your parents would get a phone call from the school to say
1435
5769301
2827
96:12
that you were being badly behaved and your parents would punish you in some way.
1436
5772128
4803
96:16
Well, the school used to punish you and the school would beat you.
1437
5776947
2678
96:19
Your parents would certainly punish you.
1438
5779625
2158
96:21
But now that doesn't happen.
1439
5781783
2376
96:24
It's the other way round.
1440
5784159
1573
96:25
If you if the if the
1441
5785732
3096
96:29
schoolteacher scolds
1442
5789949
2660
96:32
the child or tries to stop that, if the child is badly behaved
1443
5792609
3615
96:36
and is shouted at by the teacher
1444
5796458
2761
96:39
and the parent will come running into the school
1445
5799219
2727
96:41
shouting at the teacher, yeah, how dare you talk to my child like that?
1446
5801946
3982
96:46
That's how things have changed, I think.
1447
5806146
1807
96:47
I think the move, what has happened over the years, the move has gone from the parents being responsible
1448
5807953
6409
96:54
for the child to the teachers being responsible for the child.
1449
5814579
5455
97:00
So the the parents are always looking to blame the teacher.
1450
5820034
4769
97:04
And that's one of the reasons why in this country
1451
5824803
3146
97:08
many people are getting out of teaching.
1452
5828518
2911
97:11
They are they finding other careers is And at the moment there is a shortage of teachers
1453
5831429
5773
97:17
in this country because being a teacher in this country
1454
5837202
2995
97:20
is an absolute nightmare.
1455
5840548
2912
97:23
I think it is in a lot of countries as well.
1456
5843460
1958
97:26
And yes, teachers are being
1457
5846522
3598
97:30
for example, there was a how about this one, an interesting example in the news recently.
1458
5850387
4652
97:35
Okay.
1459
5855039
2443
97:37
And this harks on the political correctness side.
1460
5857482
4434
97:42
Things
1461
5862000
1623
97:43
a child at school wanted to identify
1462
5863623
3698
97:48
as a cat.
1463
5868392
3012
97:52
That child wanted to identify as a cat.
1464
5872541
2477
97:55
What's wrong with that?
1465
5875018
853
97:55
And one of the one of the other children in the class said, don't be ridiculous.
1466
5875871
6894
98:02
You know, you're not a cat.
1467
5882765
2794
98:05
And the and the teacher or I don't know the full story
1468
5885559
3364
98:09
but cut a long story short in the
1469
5889123
3498
98:13
the teacher lost their job yeah as a result of
1470
5893892
5037
98:19
of saying that that child couldn't identify as a cat.
1471
5899966
4317
98:25
No the teacher
1472
5905321
2643
98:27
the teacher scolded the child who criticise?
1473
5907964
2996
98:31
The other child who wanted to be a cat.
1474
5911060
1740
98:32
That's right.
1475
5912800
653
98:33
And and teachers are losing their job all over the place now
1476
5913453
4233
98:37
just because they're not letting you know if they say
1477
5917686
2995
98:41
you're a girl or a boy, they're not there.
1478
5921200
2995
98:44
Or they say, Oh, no, I'm not. I'm this Steve.
1479
5924279
2744
98:47
I know. I'm just saying that it is okay.
1480
5927023
2309
98:49
It can be very difficult.
1481
5929332
1021
98:50
This Is Steve saying all of this, by the way?
1482
5930353
2142
98:52
This is Steve saying these things, not me. I'm
1483
5932495
2827
98:57
anybody
1484
5937665
452
98:58
let me into power and I will change a lot of things.
1485
5938117
2995
99:01
The best lessons are often the harshest.
1486
5941229
4334
99:05
And I think this is true.
1487
5945563
2125
99:07
I think of all the lessons I've learned in life.
1488
5947688
2844
99:10
Quite often they've been lessons that have been painful.
1489
5950532
3146
99:14
Life lessons quite often might be harsh.
1490
5954080
3681
99:18
So you might describe it as the knocks of life.
1491
5958062
3598
99:21
As you go through life, you have difficulties.
1492
5961877
2226
99:24
Problems too. In
1493
5964103
2811
99:26
we call them the knocks of life.
1494
5966914
2694
99:29
So again, literally no thank you. No figurative.
1495
5969608
3430
99:33
I think everyone knows now we are talking so we're not talking about you being here.
1496
5973122
3698
99:37
Now you have to do.
1497
5977121
2476
99:39
That's just figurative.
1498
5979597
1272
99:40
Yes, figurative because it's an English lesson.
1499
5980869
2995
99:44
The realities of life
1500
5984082
2995
99:47
come from those harsh lessons.
1501
5987796
4133
99:52
So I think tough love might be something is missing nowadays.
1502
5992264
5789
99:58
I think probably the majority of parents are doing a good job
1503
5998271
4652
100:04
because if they weren't and
1504
6004378
2945
100:07
society would have broken down by now,
1505
6007323
2795
100:10
I think I think it's probably a large proportion of parents,
1506
6010118
4250
100:14
but I think generally I think
1507
6014368
3012
100:17
children probably are being brought up fairly well,
1508
6017413
2995
100:21
but maybe there are just less children
1509
6021312
3631
100:24
being brought up well than there were 50 years ago either.
1510
6024943
3765
100:29
And I would have broke it.
1511
6029377
1221
100:30
Society would have broken down completely if that were the case.
1512
6030598
3247
100:33
And so.
1513
6033845
1054
100:34
So you don't think there's any sign of that happening anywhere
1514
6034899
2995
100:38
but it is happening.
1515
6038998
854
100:39
Yes, I'm just saying.
1516
6039852
920
100:40
But but I mean, it can't be that all children are brought up badly.
1517
6040772
4083
100:44
No, I don't think I don't think anyone today has said that either.
1518
6044888
3112
100:48
But yeah, but I'm just putting some balance in that there are obviously very well behaved children.
1519
6048000
5756
100:53
I think a lot of them.
1520
6053773
954
100:54
I think the majority. Yes, the majority are okay.
1521
6054727
3480
100:58
I think so.
1522
6058241
770
100:59
Yeah. Something you're right that Claudia wanted to be a teacher,
1523
6059011
2560
101:02
but prefers to be a dentist.
1524
6062708
3715
101:07
Yeah, why not?
1525
6067026
2158
101:09
Yes, exactly.
1526
6069184
1573
101:10
But my dream job would be pulling the teeth out of children.
1527
6070757
3112
101:15
I like doing that, Claudia,
1528
6075074
2995
101:21
do you.
1529
6081299
451
101:21
Do you like having children come in and a tooth needs to be removed, and you don't give them any anaesthetic.
1530
6081750
6727
101:28
That's it.
1531
6088477
652
101:29
Just pull it straight out of wood.
1532
6089129
2075
101:31
Joking, Of course.
1533
6091204
2995
101:34
It seems strange
1534
6094350
1138
101:35
for somebody who is promoting dental health to bake cake.
1535
6095488
4150
101:39
Sugary cakes.
1536
6099671
1339
101:41
Well, I know, I know. I'm joking, I'm joking.
1537
6101010
2945
101:43
But can you see the.
1538
6103955
1439
101:45
Is that irony would be the right word there.
1539
6105394
2024
101:47
It is kind of ironic I suppose if you clean your teeth and there's no problem, is there?
1540
6107418
4719
101:52
It's a bit like the original of Willy Wonka and Willy Wonka.
1541
6112204
4735
101:56
His father was a dentist.
1542
6116939
2376
102:00
Did you know that? No.
1543
6120269
1171
102:01
So in the story, Willy Wonka's father was, actually a dentist, there is a film coming out,
1544
6121440
4301
102:06
I think, this year all about the back story of Willy Wonka.
1545
6126092
4652
102:10
I bet you can't wait for that, can you?
1546
6130811
1974
102:12
So we'll find out why Willy Wonka is the way he is.
1547
6132785
3715
102:16
But apparently his father in the film with Johnny Depp,
1548
6136500
3246
102:20
of course, he was played by The magnificent Christopher
1549
6140231
3531
102:23
Lee, played the part of Willy Wonka, his father,
1550
6143762
3447
102:27
and he was a dentist and he was obsessed
1551
6147543
2912
102:30
with keeping people's teeth.
1552
6150455
2995
102:34
Tough love, by the way, as Tommy has said, that that is
1553
6154471
3731
102:39
giving young people lessons, life lessons, implicit it learning.
1554
6159541
4501
102:44
Oh, is that what too would you equate those twenties?
1555
6164042
5538
102:49
That's a good word. Implicit. Yes. Yes.
1556
6169714
2995
102:52
You are guiding.
1557
6172743
1020
102:53
I suppose you are. You are giving guidance
1558
6173763
2494
102:57
maybe forceful
1559
6177311
2995
103:00
guidance, not giving them exact steps, but rather a task.
1560
6180373
4585
103:05
Yeah. So that they can figure it out.
1561
6185008
2443
103:07
Learn how to do it themselves. Yes.
1562
6187451
2995
103:10
Tough love or implicit.
1563
6190781
2509
103:13
Thank you for that.
1564
6193290
787
103:14
One of the hardest journeys we take is our childhood.
1565
6194077
2995
103:17
And I think so. I think it can be quite scary.
1566
6197323
3146
103:20
Anyway, talking of scary things, we have 15 minutes left of the show.
1567
6200469
5404
103:26
English Addict is with you every Sunday.
1568
6206108
2995
103:29
Don't forget from 2 p.m.
1569
6209103
1439
103:30
UK time we are about to play.
1570
6210542
2995
103:33
Fill in the blanks. Yes It is here.
1571
6213755
2995
103:36
And for those who complained about
1572
6216750
3012
103:40
read my lips last week.
1573
6220565
2911
103:43
We're not doing it today so don't worry.
1574
6223476
2795
103:46
Oh I thought it was an it wasn't a very good idea.
1575
6226271
3932
103:50
I think it was a good idea.
1576
6230738
1105
103:51
I think it probably just needs tweaking a bit.
1577
6231843
2409
103:54
If you tweak something, it means make little adjustments to it.
1578
6234252
3179
103:57
It's gone. I think we I think what you could have done is
1579
6237482
3028
104:01
given me a phrase and I could have just, you know, just.
1580
6241799
3062
104:05
But anyway, maybe you can resurrect it
1581
6245848
3246
104:10
one day.
1582
6250182
870
104:11
Bring it back. Yes.
1583
6251052
2426
104:13
Anyway, enough of that, because guess what we're doing now?
1584
6253478
4317
104:17
Can you guess what we're doing, Steve?
1585
6257795
1623
104:19
What you just said, fill in the blanks.
1586
6259418
1640
104:21
Is that what we're doing?
1587
6261058
2677
104:23
Are we all we away?
1588
6263735
2995
104:26
Yes, we are.
1589
6266948
820
104:27
Fill in the blanks.
1590
6267768
769
104:28
Fill in the blanks to do it.
1591
6268537
1523
104:30
And fill in the blanks.
1592
6270060
987
104:31
Fill in the blanks To fill in the blanks.
1593
6271047
2594
104:33
Fill in the blanks. Fill in the blanks.
1594
6273641
2476
104:36
Fill in the blanks.
1595
6276117
1305
104:37
I was given Mr. Steve first.
1596
6277422
1858
104:39
Then he doesn't like it sometimes.
1597
6279280
1907
104:41
Sometimes he finds it annoying.
1598
6281187
2594
104:43
I don't know why.
1599
6283781
1790
104:45
This is what I do sometimes to Steve.
1600
6285571
1807
104:48
Oh, I don't like it.
1601
6288667
1322
104:49
I like to give him a fuss. Ooh.
1602
6289989
2459
104:52
You know, normally complain.
1603
6292448
1925
104:54
Well,
1604
6294373
2995
104:58
fill in the blanks, Mr.
1605
6298087
1071
104:59
Duncan.
1606
6299158
452
104:59
We are now going to fill in those blanks.
1607
6299610
2309
105:01
If you have a blank that needs filling.
1608
6301919
2293
105:04
And now is the time to.
1609
6304212
2543
105:06
To fill it.
1610
6306755
1104
105:07
To fill your blank.
1611
6307859
1724
105:09
Fill in the blanks with clues. Oh, I'm tired, Mr. Duncan.
1612
6309583
2878
105:12
So now we have said
1613
6312461
2995
105:15
so. Now we have clues because some people said Mr.
1614
6315908
3865
105:19
Duncan, it's too hard.
1615
6319773
1539
105:21
So now we have clues about what people used to get them.
1616
6321312
2996
105:24
Yes, but it always the same three people.
1617
6324391
2560
105:26
Mr. Duncan, these people need tough love.
1618
6326951
2912
105:29
You can't just give it to them on a account. I know.
1619
6329863
2995
105:33
That's the opposite.
1620
6333042
1071
105:34
Did you?
1621
6334113
301
105:34
Do you realise I just used the opposite phrase to tough love?
1622
6334414
3414
105:37
What is it then? Give it to them on a plate.
1623
6337828
2258
105:41
I'm not sure.
1624
6341308
602
105:41
I'm not sure if that is the opposite.
1625
6341910
1992
105:43
Well, it sort of is, yeah.
1626
6343902
1857
105:45
If you give somebody something on a plate, it means it's easy.
1627
6345759
3079
105:48
You've just given it them.
1628
6348838
1121
105:49
Given it to them don't mean literally.
1629
6349959
2610
105:52
It's like if you cook a meal. Cook a meal.
1630
6352569
3263
105:55
Here it is.
1631
6355949
1422
105:57
But if you have to cook it yourself, that's you know.
1632
6357371
4635
106:02
But a tough love there. Yeah.
1633
6362023
1339
106:03
If you want to eat, you cook it yourself
1634
6363362
2259
106:05
and learn how to cook because we seem to be doing I'm not just going to hand it to you on a plate.
1635
6365621
4082
106:09
Okay. We have 12 minutes now.
1636
6369703
2995
106:13
Do you know if you can stay?
1637
6373267
2159
106:15
So this is the first of today's fill in the blanks.
1638
6375426
5672
106:21
Oh. Oh, I'm tired because I've been working hard clearing Mr.
1639
6381751
4233
106:25
Jones.
1640
6385984
151
106:26
So this might be related to one of today's subjects.
1641
6386135
5103
106:31
I don't think.
1642
6391238
1172
106:32
It is something to something
1643
6392410
3949
106:37
as something.
1644
6397379
2008
106:39
We have ten letters beginning with a five.
1645
6399387
5288
106:45
That is beginning with s and five letters beginning with C.
1646
6405009
6325
106:51
And is it anything to do with C phrases or tough love or anything that was said?
1647
6411719
7463
106:59
Yes, I just said that. Oh, I miss that.
1648
6419282
1891
107:01
Oh, it's
1649
6421173
2159
107:03
yes, it's to do with today's lesson
1650
6423332
3012
107:08
Batteries. Yes.
1651
6428402
820
107:09
There's the smell in the air is saying that the cake is ready.
1652
6429222
3179
107:12
Thank you, Claudia.
1653
6432417
871
107:13
Let's hope it's not the smell of burning.
1654
6433288
3011
107:16
No, that's because Claudia is cooking it, not you
1655
6436467
3129
107:22
and I am as a picture.
1656
6442340
3765
107:26
I'm sorry.
1657
6446373
1773
107:28
I don't think it is something to something.
1658
6448146
3213
107:31
A something.
1659
6451660
1857
107:33
So this is related to
1660
6453517
2996
107:38
something we've talked about today.
1661
6458403
1858
107:40
Christine is hot under the trees.
1662
6460261
2677
107:42
I bet.
1663
6462938
1088
107:44
A big hug to you all.
1664
6464026
2242
107:46
Bye bye, Christine
1665
6466268
1255
107:48
obviously is going just as fill in the blank starts,
1666
6468694
2995
107:52
but we don't mind.
1667
6472927
837
107:53
You have a life to live and it's too hot. Yes.
1668
6473764
2995
107:56
And anyway, you haven't got stomach there to rub
1669
6476826
2995
108:02
some cream onto you
1670
6482281
3012
108:05
and you anyway, won't go into that.
1671
6485343
2995
108:09
No suggestions yet.
1672
6489392
1322
108:10
You better give a clue, Mr. Duncan. But I have.
1673
6490714
2995
108:14
It's related to something we've talked about today.
1674
6494262
2995
108:17
So today talked about something
1675
6497608
2493
108:20
and something we talked about very recently just a few moments ago.
1676
6500101
3732
108:23
In fact, I don't think it is something to something a something.
1677
6503950
5388
108:29
So think about think about things
1678
6509940
4836
108:34
that maybe a parent might do
1679
6514776
2995
108:39
to their child.
1680
6519612
2995
108:44
Well, we have two words from Tomek applicable
1681
6524581
3012
108:48
and and you are
1682
6528162
3681
108:51
you are near,
1683
6531927
3012
108:54
but also not near if that makes sense.
1684
6534972
3297
109:00
Well, Claudia has come up with the word child.
1685
6540394
3329
109:04
That's the last word.
1686
6544409
2878
109:07
So it would fit.
1687
6547287
1155
109:08
I don't think it is applicable to scold a child.
1688
6548442
4133
109:15
Yes. Mm hmm.
1689
6555754
1707
109:17
That actually does fit, isn't it?
1690
6557461
1774
109:19
Applicable is ten words.
1691
6559235
2158
109:21
Four, five, six, nine, ten,
1692
6561393
2995
109:25
four, five.
1693
6565292
1238
109:26
That fits that fit.
1694
6566530
1740
109:28
So if Mr.
1695
6568270
954
109:29
Duncan has something different, then you have come up with something alternative.
1696
6569224
4685
109:35
Which means you must have been
1697
6575097
3012
109:41
thinking against the tide.
1698
6581037
1741
109:42
Oh, okay.
1699
6582778
1941
109:44
So I like that gap.
1700
6584719
2141
109:46
What was that?
1701
6586860
2343
109:49
Louise is also going, uh,
1702
6589203
2995
109:53
so by Louis.
1703
6593219
1054
109:54
Nice to see you here.
1704
6594273
1171
109:55
I refuse to tell my kids.
1705
6595444
2828
109:58
Come up with an alternative word.
1706
6598272
1372
109:59
Spank. Ooh.
1707
6599644
3363
110:03
Ladies and gentlemen, obviously you have made Mr.
1708
6603342
5003
110:08
Duncan very happy.
1709
6608345
1824
110:10
Um, but that fits.
1710
6610169
2343
110:12
I don't think it is acceptable to spank a child. Hmm.
1711
6612512
3731
110:16
Well, your school, you are all getting very close.
1712
6616979
2878
110:19
You see, if you scold a child, of course, that means you are verbally
1713
6619857
3698
110:24
telling them not to do something.
1714
6624492
2995
110:27
Don't do that.
1715
6627671
1222
110:28
Yeah. Bad boy.
1716
6628893
1439
110:30
Okay, so this is a scone.
1717
6630332
2376
110:32
I wasn't ready for that. Whereas if you spank somebody,
1718
6632708
2945
110:36
uh, and we're
1719
6636657
1723
110:38
not talking about animals here, We're talking about human beings
1720
6638380
2995
110:42
who spanks animals.
1721
6642128
2410
110:44
What's
1722
6644538
1523
110:46
sorry now, if I'm being rude there, who was?
1723
6646061
4216
110:50
But, well, you can spank other things, can't you, Mr.
1724
6650829
3230
110:54
Duncan?
1725
6654059
1322
110:55
And that is a phrase that, you know, I have absolutely no idea.
1726
6655381
4601
110:59
I think you know exactly what I'm referring to anyway.
1727
6659982
2627
111:02
But time is up. I think you could be correct, Mr..
1728
6662609
3430
111:06
Mr.. Mrs..
1729
6666341
1489
111:07
Tomek, I'm tired.
1730
6667830
1924
111:09
I tell you, I am tired.
1731
6669754
2577
111:12
It was a long drive back on Friday, and I haven't recovered yet,
1732
6672331
3597
111:15
and I've been in the garage tidying because I want to tidy before I start work again.
1733
6675928
5204
111:21
It's.
1734
6681132
435
111:21
It's hard work.
1735
6681567
3012
111:25
So what's the Mr. Duncan?
1736
6685031
1406
111:26
Because it's 7 minutes to us.
1737
6686437
2995
111:29
Two nearly 6 minutes or
1738
6689499
2091
111:37
is the answer everyone,
1739
6697112
1406
111:38
for those who want the answer here, it's here it is now.
1740
6698518
3932
111:42
It's coming now is the answer.
1741
6702450
1439
111:43
Everyone, you're ready for the answer Because.
1742
6703889
2694
111:46
Because it's coming Now.
1743
6706583
2794
111:49
Oh, I don't think it is acceptable to
1744
6709377
5472
111:56
smack a child
1745
6716137
2995
112:00
some parents still do it, especially if their child is very young and they misbehave.
1746
6720002
4719
112:05
Sometimes they will give it a little
1747
6725039
3012
112:08
slap.
1748
6728218
854
112:09
But spank is the same thing.
1749
6729072
3982
112:13
Spank you spank a child, don't you? Yes.
1750
6733054
3029
112:16
It means you give it a whack on the bottom.
1751
6736300
3631
112:19
That's it. Or on the legs.
1752
6739981
1807
112:21
You can spank adults as well, but
1753
6741788
2996
112:25
obviously it's got a different connotation there.
1754
6745269
2961
112:28
Enough about your private life. Mr..
1755
6748230
2410
112:30
So if you if you are spanking when you're an adult, it has a sort of sexual connotation.
1756
6750640
6174
112:36
Okay. Steve Right.
1757
6756814
1088
112:37
There is not when you're spanking a child, you are hitting them.
1758
6757902
3263
112:41
You are smacking them. Yes.
1759
6761165
2225
112:43
So, yeah, let's just you know, we're teaching.
1760
6763390
2276
112:45
We've got to teach all aspects to, no matter how disgusting they might be, and they certainly are.
1761
6765666
5907
112:52
So I don't think it is acceptable to smack a child.
1762
6772811
3982
112:57
We have time for maybe one scold as well.
1763
6777061
3346
113:00
I could have been just saying scold.
1764
6780725
1808
113:02
Some people said, yeah, to some extent scold sounded okay.
1765
6782533
3430
113:06
So did that.
1766
6786364
1105
113:07
You know, it also fits because some people might say
1767
6787469
2827
113:10
it's not appropriate to shout at your child or scold the child.
1768
6790296
3146
113:14
Some people might say that I wouldn't agree, but they have.
1769
6794413
2426
113:16
Right. Next one, Mr. Duncan, hurry up. We've got much time left off.
1770
6796839
2845
113:19
If you're finished,
1771
6799684
2995
113:23
we will. Something.
1772
6803047
954
113:24
This something.
1773
6804001
753
113:24
Something before deciding the something. No,
1774
6804754
3129
113:30
we will.
1775
6810309
1138
113:31
Yes, that's.
1776
6811447
2995
113:34
I thought you said these were going to get easier, Mr.
1777
6814776
2092
113:36
Duncan. I never said that.
1778
6816868
2175
113:39
I didn't said they'd be easier.
1779
6819043
1406
113:40
I said they'd be clues. Okay.
1780
6820449
2142
113:42
That doesn't necessarily mean they'll be easy to me, since I'd love to smack someone at the moment.
1781
6822591
5321
113:48
He was he referring. Okay, Steve,
1782
6828280
2091
113:51
we will.
1783
6831425
553
113:51
Something. This something, something.
1784
6831978
1723
113:53
This is a well-known phrase in English, by the way.
1785
6833701
3430
113:57
You something the something, something.
1786
6837750
3882
114:02
So this is a well-known phrase, A very well-known phrase.
1787
6842051
3647
114:06
If something is going on around you, and maybe there is a lot of chaos
1788
6846217
3782
114:10
or confusion, you might do this.
1789
6850350
3665
114:14
Afterwards,
1790
6854701
1924
114:16
we will see something.
1791
6856625
1623
114:18
The something, something before deciding the something.
1792
6858248
5120
114:24
So you are what you are.
1793
6864088
1840
114:25
Something is happening now. You have to wait.
1794
6865928
2995
114:29
You want to wait for a while
1795
6869141
2928
114:32
and then you will decide what to do next.
1796
6872069
3614
114:36
So there it is.
1797
6876269
636
114:36
I've almost given you answer, to be honest.
1798
6876905
2995
114:41
And I remember when I was talking about Sarah
1799
6881440
2158
114:43
on those occasions just to show and when I was
1800
6883598
2995
114:47
talking about animals and spanking, did you know, what I was referring to.
1801
6887831
4100
114:53
Well.
1802
6893136
953
114:54
BE So we just leave that.
1803
6894089
2343
114:56
Well, I'm just, you know, it's education.
1804
6896432
2225
114:58
I've never spanked an animal ever.
1805
6898657
2812
115:01
I'm not about I'm thinking of a particular a primate.
1806
6901469
3664
115:07
But aren't you always
1807
6907626
2309
115:09
aren't you always? Here we go then.
1808
6909935
2042
115:11
So spanking the primate.
1809
6911977
1790
115:13
Okay, Steve is another word that replaces debate.
1810
6913767
3012
115:16
Steve?
1811
6916829
1021
115:17
Steve or Steve?
1812
6917850
1807
115:19
Yeah. Okay.
1813
6919657
653
115:20
Yeah, well, we've gotten the answers yet.
1814
6920310
1506
115:21
You see, I'm trying to say something else. Isn't that.
1815
6921816
3112
115:25
Oh, no, it's a it isn't education, is it? So.
1816
6925296
4083
115:30
Oh, okay.
1817
6930483
720
115:31
Then finally we have we have something going through Steve from
1818
6931203
4015
115:37
I'm going to refer back to my notes.
1819
6937762
2995
115:41
These aren't my names.
1820
6941460
1690
115:43
Carry on something, Mr. Jenkins.
1821
6943150
2543
115:45
No It's.
1822
6945693
787
115:46
It's your show.
1823
6946480
602
115:47
Now you take over because we didn't know who that was,
1824
6947082
4317
115:51
and I can't remember the name, and I've made a note of it.
1825
6951399
3045
115:54
This is fascinating.
1826
6954628
1239
115:56
Yeah,
1827
6956937
1322
115:58
because it's all me.
1828
6958259
870
115:59
Mr. Duncan, cover.
1829
6959129
3012
116:03
How do you know that person's name in English?
1830
6963011
2996
116:06
We wrote it down. Didn't mean
1831
6966877
2392
116:09
it's gone.
1832
6969269
2828
116:12
Oh, sure.
1833
6972097
870
116:12
So I'm just here. Just.
1834
6972967
1975
116:14
Just to say for the.
1835
6974942
2158
116:17
For the fun.
1836
6977100
1506
116:18
Vitaly There we go.
1837
6978606
1858
116:20
I wrote it down. That's Vitaly. Vitaly.
1838
6980464
2945
116:23
Vitaly Hmm.
1839
6983409
1472
116:24
And that is, of course, in Cyrillic.
1840
6984881
2008
116:26
Yes. Well, then I think I think that's quite a good answer.
1841
6986889
3079
116:30
I will accept that answer almost as being 100%
1842
6990118
5472
116:35
before deciding the What's the p We haven't got anything for the P yet.
1843
6995623
3866
116:39
Well, something we've talked about today.
1844
6999539
2225
116:41
We've talked a lot about it.
1845
7001764
1088
116:42
What does a parent do sometimes? Which child?
1846
7002852
2995
116:45
Yes, we will.
1847
7005847
1406
116:47
Something the something something before deciding the something
1848
7007253
3898
116:51
beginning with p a long word
1849
7011269
3011
116:54
and I'm sure someone will put it on the screen before we end
1850
7014782
5405
117:01
because we will be
1851
7021409
702
117:02
going in around about 2 minutes from now.
1852
7022111
2995
117:05
2 minutes and then we are out of here.
1853
7025190
3665
117:12
Oh, yes, very nice.
1854
7032067
2995
117:15
I don't know what the P is.
1855
7035548
1104
117:16
I can't think of what the P is, Mr. Duncan. Mhm.
1856
7036652
2995
117:19
We will let Oh ah.
1857
7039647
3681
117:23
When people have said we've got light and dust
1858
7043713
2811
117:26
settle, can we assume that those are correct.
1859
7046524
3180
117:29
That's, that's pretty good. Yes.
1860
7049704
1539
117:31
We will let the dust settle.
1861
7051243
2962
117:34
Which means what. Mr.
1862
7054205
1104
117:35
Duncan go see it says polishing.
1863
7055309
3012
117:38
I don't think it's polishing.
1864
7058856
2995
117:41
If you let the dust settle
1865
7061851
2008
117:43
just means let's just let things calm down.
1866
7063859
3029
117:46
Let's just
1867
7066888
2225
117:49
rather than jump ahead quickly with something, we're doing everything.
1868
7069113
3665
117:53
Settle down.
1869
7073313
686
117:53
The answer coming through.
1870
7073999
2912
117:56
Vitaly Oh,
1871
7076911
2560
117:59
oh. Vitaly Yes, I think that might be 100%.
1872
7079471
4501
118:08
I would do that.
1873
7088507
1556
118:10
The dust settled before deciding the punishment, but because you have
1874
7090063
3413
118:13
to get the situation into a calm place
1875
7093476
3146
118:17
sometimes before you, maybe if something bad happens,
1876
7097157
3213
118:20
you might want to lash out and do something unreasonable.
1877
7100370
3330
118:24
So a lot of people like to wait until things have calmed down and then you decide
1878
7104219
5103
118:30
with a level head what to do.
1879
7110577
2995
118:33
We will let the dust settle,
1880
7113723
4233
118:38
We will let the dust settle before deciding the punishment.
1881
7118759
4184
118:43
So it is a way of saying we will not react now
1882
7123562
4200
118:47
because everyone is still upset and angry.
1883
7127946
3212
118:51
We will let the the dust settle so.
1884
7131158
3815
118:54
That means we will let things calm down and become relaxed.
1885
7134973
4050
118:59
Yes, if you've been doing it, you can use that phrase or let the dust settle.
1886
7139173
4200
119:03
Let the dust settle.
1887
7143423
1808
119:05
You can use that quite a lot.
1888
7145231
1321
119:06
If life has been a bit chaotic, a bit busy,
1889
7146552
2996
119:09
and then somebody else says, Oh, shall we do this?
1890
7149849
2794
119:12
Oh, you just can't think anymore.
1891
7152643
2359
119:15
You just say, Oh, let the dust settle before we do anything else.
1892
7155002
3297
119:19
You often say that to me
1893
7159872
1221
119:21
because I'm always sort of trying to suggest different things.
1894
7161093
3447
119:25
And Mr.
1895
7165260
1589
119:26
Duncan will say to me, Oh, I mean, we might have been
1896
7166849
3012
119:30
just busy doing lots of things.
1897
7170062
2526
119:32
And then I try to introduce some other task
1898
7172588
2728
119:35
or something else that we might want to do.
1899
7175316
2995
119:38
And you might say, well, that the dust settled first,
1900
7178428
2945
119:41
otherwise just let things calm down
1901
7181373
2995
119:44
so that our heads are clear and then we can think clearly about what to do next.
1902
7184469
4350
119:49
Anyway, I think that was good.
1903
7189438
1891
119:51
So we have to fill in the blanks.
1904
7191329
3849
119:55
Then we have to that in the bag.
1905
7195412
3480
119:59
We had two interesting subjects.
1906
7199311
2141
120:01
We've got that out of the park.
1907
7201452
1590
120:03
We've two interesting subjects.
1908
7203042
2326
120:05
That is tough love and also words
1909
7205368
3815
120:09
and phrases connected to the sea and the ocean, because we went to
1910
7209183
3430
120:13
on Friday to see
1911
7213684
987
120:14
Beatrice, one of our lovely viewers.
1912
7214671
3581
120:18
And we will be back with you next Sunday.
1913
7218821
3447
120:22
Can I just use another way of using Let the Dust settle?
1914
7222536
2978
120:25
I'm not particularly nice.
1915
7225514
1071
120:26
You've just started the job and, uh,
1916
7226585
3062
120:30
and then you you go to your boss and yes,
1917
7230132
2995
120:33
when you've only been in the job where you can, you say, Oh, yes, I want to, I want to get a promotion.
1918
7233663
4166
120:38
I want to go for management roles.
1919
7238950
2728
120:41
And your boss says, Oh, let the dust settle a bit first before you start going for promotions.
1920
7241678
6057
120:47
In other words, you know, just do your job for a bit and then we'll see.
1921
7247735
3665
120:51
Right?
1922
7251550
870
120:52
That goes to show. Mr..
1923
7252420
1021
120:53
Well, I'm so glad that my show was extended by 50 seconds for that.
1924
7253441
4367
120:57
Well, I just like to give lots of examples of that.
1925
7257875
2108
120:59
People know how to use the phrases.
1926
7259983
1674
121:01
So, uh, anyway, it's time to go.
1927
7261657
2945
121:04
We will see you very soon.
1928
7264602
1740
121:06
Don't forget, there are new English lessons almost every day.
1929
7266342

121:22
In fact, there will be several new ones
1935
7282439
2945
121:25
being released over the next few days.
1936
7285384
2995
121:28
It's time to say goodbye, See soon.
1937
7288379

1941
7299941
5070
121:45
Yes, I have to teach you something, don't worry.
1942
7305095
2493
121:47

1943
7307588
920
121:48
I've enjoyed being here as well. Mr. Duncan.

2158
121:52
And I will be here.
1946
7312708
2175
121:54
No, I won't be.
1947
7314883
1071
121:55
Yes, I probably will be here next Sunday.
1948
7315954
2795
121:58
Okay.
1949
7318749

122:00

786
122:00
Steve here, you will see him just fine.
1951
7320790
2995
122:04
If he isn't, I'll be standing in the middle on my own, which is something I've got to get used to.
1952
7324153
5271
122:09
Because Mr. Steve is about to start a new job.
1953
7329943
2961
122:12
A week from tomorrow, Steve will be employed again.
1954
7332904
5020
122:18
I know the thing I'm looking forward to it.
1955
7338092
2727

Mr. Duncan have had a nice relaxing six.
1956

122:22
Well, some of it's been relaxing.

1958
7346558
619
122:27
nice time, particularly the last few weeks.
1959
7347177
3012
122:30
It's been wonderful.
1960

1840
122:32
So a very strange period of time coming. Yes.
1961
7352080

122:35
Another life lesson, I suppose you might say.
1962
7355862

122:40
A bit of tough love. Well,

7360229
