English Addict Live Lesson - Sunday 5th January 2020 - Work Words - Fraud - Intention - Fast Food

oh here we go yes there it is the view out of the window right now it is a

murky cloudy rather dull day here in the UK but don't worry it doesn't matter

because everything is sunny and shiny right here in my little studio in Much

Wenlock yes we are all together again it is English addict live

hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you ok I

hope so are you happy I really really really

really really hope so here we are together again on the

Internet and it's nice to see that we are all still here

planet Earth still exists humanity goes on the same way it did last week and the

week before and also last year and the year before that thank goodness so here

we are then yes for those who haven't watched me yet in this particular year

can I say happy New Year to you

hmm we are here again today I hope you are having a super Sunday the end of the

weekend and I suppose a lot of people here in the UK are feeling a little bit

down and depressed because last week at the end of last week they had to go back

to work so normally when people go back to work they often have complaints or

maybe they have something to say maybe a comment that they make about what

they've been up to so after the Christmas break most people

will have to go back to work reluctantly it means they don't really

want to do it so if you do something reluctantly it means you do it but you

don't really want to do it you would rather not do it so today we are going

to look at something very interesting I hope it's interesting anyway or else I

might sell my computer things UK people say when returning to work after

Christmas so the things that people in the UK say when they return to work

after the Christmas break what are the things that they say maybe you have said

some of these things as well we'll be looking at that later on of course we

will be trying to get mr. Steve to join us today now today we have what do we

have to lure mr. Steve oh this is interesting

today we are going to try to lure mr. Steve with some lovely delicious snacks

oh yes that looks very nice I'm not sure what they are

they look like twiglets so today we will be tempting mr. Steve to join the live

chat hopefully he will come into the studio and he will join in

with those delicious scrumptious twiglets hmm we will have to wait and

see what happens

meanwhile it's us here on the live stream and the live chat is already very

busy thank you very much for joining me it's so nice to see you here giving a

little bit of your Sunday to me isn't that lovely

thank you to everyone who has joined already today and I suppose I should say

congratulations to Vitesse guess what Vitesse you have a very fast finger your

finger is very fast because you are first on today's live chat

I can't control my excitement as you can see

so congratulations Vitesse greetings from Lithuania nice to see you here also

flower s Bois hello flower Espoir thank you for joining me today

Lily Lilia Oh Lilia Oh have you seen Lilia Lilia

the tattooed lady hello - Lilia also grace Juli saj my roots also hang cry

hello to you as well lots of people joining we did have a few people last

week did you notice on Friday some people were complaining that my live

stream is always too long so today this particular live stream is going to be

very short so ta ta for now

no not really I'm just joking it's it's a joke I'm

just joking I'm not really going so hello to everyone on the live chat hello

Sally Sally Sally she lurks down the alley I don't know why she does it

I'm sure someone knows Eleanor also anna kobe abdullah also Tomic hello Tomic I

hope everyone here is well I'm well however I do feel a little sad today

would you like to know why I feel a little sad because today is the final

day we are approaching Twelfth Night so that means that the Christmas trees and

the Christmas lights here in the UK will all be taken down so today is officially

the day when everyone here in the UK takes their Christmas lights down so

later on today my lovely Christmas lights there they

are look they will have to be switched off until next Christmas so I will be

taking these down tomorrow I will be removing them from the house

unfortunately isn't that a shame so this is the final day where the Christmas

lights can twinkle above the house and also the Christmas tree will be taken

down today as well it's not very nice really is it some beautiful views of my

Christmas lights before we have to say goodbye to them it's not very nice

really is it hard here me oh well there's nothing you can do about

it unfortunately there is nothing that can be done so that's what's happening

today we'll be taking the lights down later on

however some people are only starting to celebrate Christmas because some people

celebrate Christmas much later then here in the UK and other parts of the world

so some people start much later than we do it depends on which calendar you

follow so for some people Christmas hasn't even arrived yet isn't it strange

it really is hello to Abdullah hello also to Julie G Julie G is here today

Cory hello Cory Wow so many people already

here Lilia says I tried so hard to have the fastest finger but my effort did not

bear much fruit if your efforts bear fruit it means you are successful in

something you have accomplished what you set out to do so the thing you try to do

has born or it has bad fruit you have succeeded in what you were trying to do

you really do need a very fast finger you do need a fast finger definitely to

be first on my live chat Olga hello Olga can I say thank you again for your

lovely donation that I received thanks a lot flower Espoir is still feeling under

the weather I'm very sorry to hear that I hope you feel well soon

hello also to Joe say or jos or jose maybe i know i've probably pronounced

that wrong to be honest so last week last friday we managed to get mr. steve

to join on the live chat so we are going to try again and today we are using

another one of mr. Steve's favorite snacks and here it is right now so this

is something that mr. Steve likes eating twiglets so that is what we will be

using to temp mr. Steve on to the live chat in around

about 15 minutes time will we be successful find out later mm-hmm

by the way we have a problem mr. Steve has told me this morning he informed me

with a very gloomy face he didn't look very happy

apparently we are almost out of milk we almost have no milk left so I might have

to go round to one of our neighbours houses to borrow some milk do you ever

do that do you ever go to go round to one of your neighbours houses do you

ever appear on your neighbour's doorstep with maybe a cup or maybe a jug like

this one and you ask your neighbour oh excuse me I'm sorry to disturb you would

it be possible to borrow some milk could I please borrow some milk could you lend

some milk to me because I've run out sadly I've run out of milk

I have no milk left would it be possible to borrow some milk which is very

strange when you think about it because you can't really borrow milk I mean if

you borrow milk that means that you bring the same milk back to the house

that you borrowed it from so you can't really do that what you will actually do

is replace the milk and you will give some milk back to your neighbour at a

later date so quite often we will have to go round

we must visit our neighbor to borrow maybe some milk or maybe a cup of sugar

quite often you might go round to your neighbour's house to borrow some sugar

or maybe something that you have ran out of maybe you need

something unusual maybe you have to borrow something very strange from your

neighbour have you ever done that so have you ever gone round to your neighbour to

borrow something maybe some milk or maybe some sugar have you ever done that

now we might have to do this later on because we have no milk mr. Steve made a

cup of coffee a few moments ago which was very

delicious but unfortunately now we have no milk so I might have to go round to

the neighbour's house to borrow some milk from them it's rather embarrassing

as well isn't it don't you feel embarrassed when you have to borrow

something from your neighbours I feel very ashamed to be honest talking of

shame we went into town yesterday to have our usual Saturday meal and mr.

Steve well all I can say is I was very surprised by mr. Steve's table manners

would you like to see mr. Steve's table manners

or should I say his bad table manners so yesterday we were actually having our

lovely meal in Much Wenlock and yesterday we had dumplings with stew

potatoes carrots and also cabbage so that is actually the meal we had

yesterday doesn't it look delicious and there you can see mr. Steve eating

his meal he looks as if he's really enjoying it and there he is pretending

to speak to someone so mr. Steve is going to show us his table manners oh

dear Oh mr. Steve I can't believe mr. Steve

just put all that food in his mouth at the same time he's a little greedy

monkey aren't you mr. Steve yes you are I can see you looking at us

oh no no no Steve don't do it don't do it oh dear

that's disgusting I don't know why mr. Steve has very poor table manners don't

you think so there we were yesterday having our lovely meal dumplings carrots

creamed potatoes ah also cabbage as well so there it was yesterday's meal that we

had in which Wenlock very nice we are talking about food today McDonald's has

upset a lot of people today a lot of people have become angry by McDonald's

here in the UK do you know why can you guess why put a lot of people this

morning were very angry they were rioting on Twitter they were complaining

on the Internet about one particular thing but what was

it find out later on hello also to Helena hi Helena nice to see you here as

well today lovely to see you here on the live chat I have some nice words to show

you here and these are all related to our behavior and they are some

interesting words and maybe they are words that you can relate to so

sometimes when you hear a word sometimes you can actually relate to the word

because maybe in the past or in the present you have or you are doing that

particular thing so here are some interesting words and I like these words

and some of these words are used quite often especially when we talk about

habits or human behavior the first word is compulsion compulsion can you see the

word there it is the word compulsion the action or state of forcing or being

forced to do something so maybe you have no choice or maybe there is something

that you want to do that you can't stop yourself

from doing so maybe you are being told you must do it or maybe your own brain

or your own mind is telling you that you have no choice so the word compulsion

also a feeling you can't hold back so maybe a feeling that you have that you

can't control you can't hold the feeling back it is a strong compulsion and also

we can describe this as an irresistible urge so when we say urge it means

something that you do or you must do maybe a natural urge might be something

that you do in nature so maybe you have the urge to find a girlfriend or a

boyfriend so yes I suppose you could say that that is an irresistible urge you

must do it or you have to do it because it feels right the action or state of

forcing or being forced to do something is a compulsion compulsion I love that

word another interesting word that I will show you now on your computer

screen intention now this sounds similar to the previous word intention so when

we say intention we are saying the thing you plan or aim to do the action or fact

of intending a person's plans for example a man's intention to propose so

when we say propose in this particular sentence the man is going to ask the

woman to marry him so maybe a man has the intention to ask his partner to

marry him so your intention the thing you plan or

the thing you aim to do it is your intention I suppose you might use the

word resolution as well as we are now into 2020 I've just realized we are in

the future this is like science fiction this is

isn't it amazing to be living in the year 2020 where are those flying cars

why aren't we all living on Mars we should be by now

obsession oh I think many people have this a lot of people have some sort of

obsession the state of being unable to stop or give up doing something so

something that you can't stop something that is hard to stop maybe you can't

stop doing it or maybe you can't stop thinking about it

a fixation that can't be controlled so when we say fixation it means something

you are constantly focused on in your mind so a fixation can be something that

you can't stop thinking about or looking at you have a fixation it is an

obsession to be obsessed with a thing or person is an obsession so obsession is

the state of being obsessed with something you can't stop thinking about

it I suppose you could say that I am obsessed with English i am i i'm in

english addict for goodness sake i can't stop talking about english i can't stop

thinking about all those lovely words so yes i suppose you might say that i have

an english obsession i am obsessed with the English language and finally

another interesting word I do like to show these words from time to time

something that catches my eye and also my ear ooh reluctant reluctant

so if you are feeling a little reluctant yes you're right

I did use this word earlier so I mentioned this word earlier if you are

reluctant you are unwilling or wary of doing something so to be unwilling or

wary of doing something maybe you have to do it but you don't really want to do

it a good example of that is going back to work after your holiday most people

feel very reluctant to go back to work or maybe if you are a student you might

feel reluctant to go back to school I don't blame you really so to be

unwilling or wary of doing something to shy away from a task so if you shy away

from something it means you don't really want to do it you try to avoid it as

best you can the feeling of reluctance is to back

away or feel disinclination ah I love that word disinclination it means you

don't want to do it the feeling of disinclination is the feeling of being

reluctant you don't want to do it you feel as if it is something that you

don't really want to do you feel very reluctant I don't want to do it please

don't make me do it hello also to a man hello a man or a man

nice to see you here rakesh is here as well nice to see so many red

viewers here today where are you from my friend do you speak English well I'm not

sure if that message is for me I'm not sure

Silvia hello Sylvia mr. Duncan your lessons are wonderful you are great you

are a great teacher a big Chow from Italy and also hang cry

hello mr. Duncan yes we are all human beings we certainly are at least we try

to be hello to also Irene Carmen Irene and joining my show be a

part of the experience of learning the English language Sylvia says Sylvia says

I hope mr. Steve will be here well we will have to find out now today we have

some twiglets so we are using twiglets today which I happen to know is one of

mr. Steve's favorite snacks so I will try to tempt mr. Steve on to the live

chat with some delicious twiglets that coming in a few moments also Eric is

here nice to see you here today so why has McDonald's made people angry here in

the UK this morning many people woke up to an amazing promise apparently here in

the UK McDonald's the famous fast food chain promised a free McMuffin have you

ever tried a McMuffin a McMuffin is a little bit like a beef burger instead of

beef they have pork egg and also cheese as well and quite often you can only buy

it in the morning so there is a special promotion or was

there was a special promotion this morning

courtesy of McDonald's however so many people tried to get their free burger

that the whole website crashed here in the UK so unfortunately because so many

people tried to get their free McMuffin from McDonald's the whole website

crashed so there were a lot of angry people this morning complaining on

Twitter because that's what people do nowadays when they feel angry about

something when someone in real life upsets them what do they do they go to

Twitter to complain I tried to order a McDonald's today because they were

giving away free McMuffins but I could not get on to the website exclamation

mark so a lot of people were very angry this morning because they wanted their

free burger they wanted their free McMuffin unfortunately they could not

get it Pedro Pedro is here that's my special greeting for Pedro I will do

this from now on every time Pedro comes on hello Pedro nice to see you here

hello Pedro will give you a big happy cheer Hawaii

hello also to wring sack nice to see you here thanks for your lovely comments by

the way as well mr. Bruno also blue one is here hello blue blue one I hope

you're okay and now we are up to date with the live stream so shall we try

shall we have a go I'm now going to try and get mr. Steve to come into the

studio but I have to do something very special

because mr. Steve is a shy person you might not realize this you might not

even think that Steve is shy because Steve always appears to be very

confident but you might not realize since he was a child

Steve has been a very shy person so the only way I can get mr. Steve to appear

is to lure him I have to tempt him with one of his favorite snacks so today what

do I have today oh look I have one of mr. Steve's favorite snacks we have a

plate of twiglets so you can see on the plate here there are some twig lips to

be honest with you I don't like twiglets I think they are disgusting however mr.

Steve loves the taste of twiglets I wonder if he likes the smell so I will

try now to attract mr. Steve and could you please shout mr. Steve come on to

the live chat please we are missing you so I will stand here and I will try to

tempt mr. Steve Shh don't say anything okay she could be

very quiet

we've got me again I've got him again well then one of my

favorite snacks yes and says oh oh tonight I'm very caught more oh well you

can have more later Steve I love to a glitz mr. Duncan I love Twix Oh am i

alive again yeah we are on live you don't have to shout in my ear first you

know do you realize I'm actually going deaf in this year

hello everybody from he does this is it twice he's done this now I said I'm out

in the garden I haven't got time to come onto the live stream but then he tempts

me with one of my favorite snacks interestingly enough do people know what

twiglets are I'm sure they do a twiglet no are they available I'd like

to know if twiglets I'll let me just show one well I can show them close-up

Steve right there I've got I've got I've got a whole look at this so it's so

these are twiglets hmm do you have twiglets in your country

they are savory snacks but to be honest with you I don't like them Steve I don't

like twiglets they're discuss their home either made of wholemeal wheat hmm and

that Brown coating that you can see is yeast extract it looks disgusting it

they're quite salted it's yeast extract so if you know if you have something

called Marmite in your country that's a yeast extract and it's quite a it's got

a distinctive flavour to it is quite savory salty no sugar in there at all

they're quite if you want to eat something if you like eating snacks then

I think they're probably healthier than crisps okay because their whole meal so

which means you get all the fine from the wheat but they're also very

salty so they're probably not good for you from that point of view and the

Marmite of course has got lots of B vitamins in it vitamin B in it so I

think they're of the snacks that are available they are probably the most

healthy it's now straight now I would never think that anyway do you have

twiglets yes in your country when we grew up they used to be much longer than

that they used to be about that long yes but they've they've shortened them over

the years you know what that that is a story of my life they're very crunchy

everything in my young life was much longer than it is now well one thing

that's got bigger as you got older mr. Duncan is your ego that's got bigger and

bigger everything else is shrunk but your egos

got bigger and bigger ah I'm being attacked by mr. Steve only

in a friendly manner so this morning Steve something very curious happened go

on something very curious happened this morning here in the UK

McDonald's decided to give one free m'q McMuffin have you ever tried a McMuffin

I think I did once so that there were there pork

so it's either bacon or actual pork I'm not sure if it's actual pork because it

is McDonald's after all but there's cheese and also one of those rubber eggs

oh I see so it's like it's like a sort of an English breakfast on a muffin it

is a bit like an English breakfast on a muffin but McDonald's this morning

decided to give a McMuffin to everyone who wanted to have one what free yes can

you imagine the chaos they must have had a lot left over from Christmas they

didn't have any left over in fact they didn't have many customers because their

website crashed so all of their websites across the country for each shop or I

think actually it's a it's a main website and then of course you can

actually contact your local franchise that's always the interest

thing about McDonald's you always think that McDonald's is one company that owns

all the restaurants but did you know that actually they're not so you can

actually run your own McDonald's so what home choice yes it it's a franchise

sorry buddy you're going to say that had you already said it no it's a franchise

as choice so franchise you actually buy something or you buy a part of something

that belongs to someone else and then you run it you operate it as if it's

yours you buy the rights to to run the business yes yes in that particular

place and then McDonald's will sell all of the food to you so you actually buy

the food from McDonald's so all the ingredients all the rubber eggs and the

the meat can you see there I'm using inverted commas so we don't want to

disparage we don't want to disparage mr. Duncan disparage what well we do you

know they are probably a legitimate company selling very fine food we don't

want to you know get ourselves into a situation where we could be prosecuted

for defamation what are we gonna say then for defaming

the reputation of McDonald's who make very fine food sorry

why'd you it sounds that this is one long advert for McDonald's

well it is it really we're not exactly being very flattering ah but anyway

that's what happened this morning so a lot of people took to Twitter they went

onto Twitter and they were all complaining to McDonald's that about the

fact that they they couldn't get their free McMuffin

I'm sure they'll survive and it's all over the world are just in the UK no

just in the UK in the UK right they're eating right is it is a special

promotion because I think that what they've done is they've extended their

breakfast time so it used to be 10:30 okay and the breakfasts at McDonald's

ended but now they've extended it to 11 o'clock we don't have a power mirror

says do we have a McDonald's and Much Wenlock know we'd

the nearest one probably about 10 kilometers away I would say I must say

we are doing a lot of advertising for McDonald's today

so hello McDonald's if you're watching if maybe Ronald is watching hello Ronald

the clown so Lilia says here I've always imagined

mr. Steve to be taller and mr. Duncan to be shorter so curious well it's the way

mr. Duncan has the camera angled he's making me look short because he thinks

it's funny he's got high heels shoes on I haven't stiletto heels about that tall

I'm wearing my car and wearing my flat slippers I'm just in bare feet bare feet

well I've got no shoes on I thought I thought for a moment there

he was gonna tell me you'd had some weird surgery so I think I'm gonna wear

of my normal shoes in future so that I don't look so short well as we explained

in the last episode mm-hm I am actually about five nine so mr.

Duncan is standing on your toes did you see what Steve I do that all the time

press one of these buttons mr. Duncan I tell you what let's pretend that we're

going because I did this earlier and a lot of people got angry so we're going

now so thanks for watching everyone and we'll see you soon bye

not really we're not really going you're annoying

people mister don't why you did that because I'm Friday I've had a couple of

people complain that the live stream is too long mm-hmm yes they're saying it's

not looking right you know we need to be more there we go so you used to be able

to see you know you need to see a bit of my shirt and my collar so this is what

it looks like this is I'm now getting an idea of what mr. Steve feels when he's

doing the livestream so now you're me and I'm mr. Steve the camera is angled

so that he looks taller it's it's an optical illusion the camera isn't face

on to us it's at an angle so it makes it makes mr. Duncan look taller than me

well he is taller than me because you are about 511 are you something like

that I'm just over I'm over 6 foot 6 foot

well I which is way over average for 400 people in the UK so I am very tall yes I

don't know what that is in centimeters I'll have to invert we don't care we

don't use centimeters in the UK I'm about 183 184 about 100 I'm about 184

Centron 84 cent are you bright ok roughly yes that's just over six foot

six foot so if if I am and I'm about three inches shorter than you so let's

take nine centimeters off that so what were you do you say you were 180 what

183 so I'm probably about a hundred and seventy four or five centimetres and

that's the truth you wish something like that it was so funny the other day we

went to this dinner party with Steve's for how it was so fun I was the tallest

person there I was like it was like being in the land of the ump Olympus on

Willy Wonka I felt like Willy Wonka surrounded by Ollie's and Palumbo's and

it was actually Steve and his family

so disingenuous mr. Duncan so disingenuous you expect me to come on

these live streams then you insult me and my family I'm not insulting I'm just

stating a fact yes but you're doing it in an insulting and disingenuous manner

you know a lot of people in the UK last week we're feeling really upset and sad

do you know why they couldn't face the thought of me not being on the

livestreams after today I'm not sure about that in fact they were they were

feeling sad because they had to go back to work so today we're going to look at

things UK people say when returning to work after Christmas are these going to

include rude things no what how can rude things be in there because

when you go back to work yeah I do mean swearing yes so this is apart from

swearing as it there was no swearing in this I promise there is no swearing we

might say bloody hell now and again but other than that that is it yes Pedro I'm

going to put some Pedro says why don't you add trick inside your shoes yes

that's it I could put well I haven't got any shoes on so I could put some shoes

on and then put like a what would you call it well if you put something inside

you shame maybe why they call them lifts lifts I'm going to put a lift inside my

shoes I think you might need a an elevator to come up to my height maybe

you could have a little elevator or maybe a little ramp you can stand on or

maybe a little piece of wood so you know we can actually have you standing on

something to make you you you the same height as me thank you Tom ik I've got

people there supporting me saying that you shouldn't be it is unacceptable

knock it off in somebody which is a that that's a very good phrase for you to

know knock it off they've been stop it stop doing it or if

you knock somebody up which is a different phrase altogether if you if

you say to somebody if a woman's been knocked up it means that she's been made

pregnant if you knock somebody up you means you make a woman pregnant so don't

go getting knock it off and knock it up if you knock a woman herbalist it means

you get her pregnant but you didn't intend to yes is wildly so quite often

oh my girlfriend said I've knocked her up it means I've got a pregnant although

I don't have to worry about that because I've been I've been done by the vet I

went to the vet and he did me do you know what the vet did Yohan let's just

say he used a very large knife and a very big bucket hello Oleg's here and

don't say you've knocked somebody out because that if you knock somebody out

it means you've punched them yes and they've fallen unconscious so well look

we've got three uses of a word they knock in it yes thanks to tommix so you

can knock someone up to get them pregnant you can knock it off which Ben

stop doing it hey kids stop making that noise I've

told you already knock it off and also you can what was

the other one knock it down not out is on a Friday night when Steve and myself

we normally have our Friday night raow and normally the furniture is being

thrown all over the place and maybe one or two punches but of course as I always

say to mr. Steve I always say not the face you can you can get anywhere else

but not the face because this is my livelihood this is my twinkle this face

you can't harm this Algren Julie you've commented that they remember the days

when I used to have my own chair my own area to sit in no and those days have

gone mm-hmm getting lazy oh yes Stalin will lift special shoes as palomero as

well he was very small and also Berlusconi apparently wears them as well

somebody's commented on that account remotely Luciano

has said that Berlusconi there must be a death must be in Italy uses lifts in his

shoes but build Ascona is the famous president president president berlusconi

he likes to have his private parties doesn't he I don't know much about I

mean I know he's a controversial figure he he is that's our lots of leaders

around the world that dark but long path Berlusconi used to have those parties he

would have fight all of the big leaders and and famous people to his special

parties unfortunately we were never invited I'm afraid we're not important

enough so what do people say in the UK after they return to work after

Christmas what do they say do they say things or maybe they say nothing in

which case this is going to be a very short feature I wonder what people say

when they go back to I used I it is this what what do you say to yourself or what

do you say to coworkers yes I know anything really anything you say after

returning to work after after a break what would you say mr. Duncan if you

were now returning after a break at mind you didn't really have a break over

Christmas mr. Duncan never takes holidays he's always working I know I'm

always working even on New Year's Day on New Year's Day I was here live with mr.

Steve on New Year's Day and also the day after Christmas we did a live stream we

are always here well that's because I mean I'm an English addict you see I

can't stop it I love English so much he is he is an e is an English addict

himself he's called his channel now English addict and he is the biggest

addict of all and soon there will be a website so again things UK people say

when returning to work after Christmas this is something that I might say so

you were right there Steve so this might go this might be something

what day is it what day is it yes you get very confused after the Christmas

holidays we all do here because Christmas day is always on a different

day of the week every year because of the way the calendars are organized and

so and so is Easter for that matter and so when you get you because you a lot of

people take a lot of time off at work over Christmas you you forget what day

it is and in fact we forgot it was Saturday the week before last and we

forgot to go and fetch our bread because Christmas day was on the Wednesday and

then we always collect our weekly bread on a Saturday and of course we forgot

because it didn't feel like a Saturday so yes you get confused about and the

date how many times does it take for you to when you're writing the date down for

the first time in the in the new year and how many times does it take before

you stop putting last year's year down so I've got to remember to put 2020 in

my 2019 and a lot of the time it takes several weeks to remember to do that I'm

glad you haven't spoiled anything that I'm about to tell you so there's the

first one so after a holiday after a break when you return to work especially

after the Christmas holiday because it's a very long break and people just sit

around eating and drinking so they might ask what day is it I don't know what day

it is another one oh yes I think mr. Steve will understand this one I can't

remember my computer password yes and of course a lot of people don't just have

when you go to work you haven't just got one password you've got probably one to

get in the into the computer and then probably several to get into various

other parts of the organization or different apps so versus their own so

this is you've written them down so this is so this is so this is all you've

stopped so this is something that might have

if you are going back to work and you use a computer in your office and you

have to enter a password so some people forget their password because they've

well they've had so much to eat and drink that their brain cells have all

died in fact I had to do something briefly on Thursday for work and I had

to go into my computer I wasn't officially supposed to be at work but I

did do some work on Thursday and less than two weeks and I went to open the

computer and I had forgotten the password to actually look it up because

if you make three or four attempts it locks you out which is very annoying ok

this is the one that you just mentioned so thanks for ruining this oh I keep

writing 2019 instead of 2020 or 2022 that is something that happens

especially to remember years ago when you used to have checks and you had to

write a check I don't think people write checks anymore nobody has a checkbook

anymore they don't in the UK you would always get the date wrong when the new

year arrived so normally the first two or

three weeks of the new year you would keep writing the previous year on your

checks or maybe when you are typing a letter or writing a letter or maybe even

talking about something so you might say this year when you mean last year

because you keep forgetting that it's a new year

yes sir mr. Bruno says back to work equals away from screaming children yes

so for some people and I've heard this from people at work that when they go

back to if they've been on holiday it's actually a break for them particularly

if you've got young children to get away from them it sounds horrible they don't

mean you know they mean it they just want a break from their

children so we can understand that and in fact when we have work trips when we

have to say way from home and of course the can't

take mr. Duncan with me and other people in the organization can't bring their

husbands or wives so it's just like a sales meeting and run away for two or

three days including nights the expression I often hear is it's all I'm

glad to get away from my wife was glad to get away from my husband for a few

days or glad to get away from the children so I will just or just all of

them I've often thought but for many years we don't actually need all these

sales conferences and training meetings and actually pretty pointless because

most of the stuff we cover is repetition you know and sorry and but I think we

have them because the man is senior management like them because it gets

them away from home I think that's the main reason we have them actually it's

just so that people could be away from there so you think the Hartness you

think the whole thing is a conspiracy I think it's a whole conspiracy because

sometimes we sit there for three days and I think what have I learned nothing

okay by the way this is a very strange way of handing in your notice so I keep

writing 2019 instead of 2020 a common thing that people might say after the

Christmas holiday have you ever had a beef burger or a hamburger that's a good

one Steve yes of course well would you like to go to Poland because in Poland

at the moment look at that that is a McDonald's burger what is that that is

that looks very healthy cottage cheese yes and horseradish and apparently in

Poland that is actually being sold at McDonald's in Poland and that looks like

some leaves of rocket yes I think it's rocket leaves and also a cup of coffee

as well so that is something that's very healthy from from healthy food at

McDonald's to unhealthy food so there it is let's not say unhealthy but it is

unhealthy I wouldn't say unhealthy it's only it's

only becomes healthier if you eat too many of Steve

please let me do my bit go on and just doing a bit here you see this is

something I've already prepared in my head go on there let me let me get it

out of my brain for goodness sake so so this is actually the McMuffin we were

talking about earlier but doesn't it look beautiful

what a beautiful McMuffin and I want one have you ever noticed Steve how beef

burgers and fast food always look better on the adverts they always look a lot

bigger yes well they look nicer look at that that's a beautiful looking burger

however when you have it in real life oh dear

it's not so nice so that's the same burger anybody so that's a Mick Mick

McMuffin just sound like one giant advert for McDonald's today mister to go

is no way this is an advert so there is a McMuffin that you actually buy in the

restaurant and that's what they say it looks like so can you see a difference

there Steve yes I can that had a bite taken out of it I think it's been

dropped on the floor a couple of times it looks quite tasty to me yes well I

suppose that's that's actually an interesting point Steve because it

doesn't matter how disgusting food looks quite often we are still willing to to

eat it and what's this got to do with the things people say when they go back

to work absolutely nothing I thought you're going to say one of the things

people say when they go back to work is oh I can't wait to have a McDonald's

burger again yes here's an interesting thing you can actually and this is

something I can't believe I know we mentioned this a few days ago but I

still can't believe that you can actually order a McDonald's beef burger

and it will be delivered to your house but well yes yes you can do that here in

the UK probably and other countries as well so there are lots of services now

that will actually deliver fast food to your doorstep can you believe it

that might be the the ultimate height of laziness I think so so there it is I

keep writing last year instead of this year so these are common common things

that people say in the UK when returning to work after Christmas

here we go Steve I think I must have put on 10 stone yes yeah or put on weight

everybody puts on weight over Christmas apart from me well I think in this case

you see people always exaggerate because they feel heavier so they won't just say

oh I've put on a few pounds they will often exaggerate so they will make out

or they will pretend that they've eaten so much that they've put on lots and

lots of weight so quite often you will hear people complain about overeating

during Christmas I think I must have put on ten stone even though they haven't

really but they just ten pounds may be exact of course we talked about we

talked about New Year's resolutions mm-hmm or new year resolutions in the

last live stream and of course one of the communist ones that people say

they're going to do and it's probably what they're going to say to their

colleagues at work is I'm going on a diet and but it usually lasts on average

about two weeks and then people just forget about it

wait well this is what you notice on on television lots of there are lots of

advertisements for gymnasiums so they're trying to get you to join their gym club

and maybe there are people selling exercise equipment all sorts of things

and of course there are many many companies that are designed or there to

help people lose weight yes so it's a there is a huge industry out there to

help you get fit and lose weight and of course the last thing they want is for

people to look after their health and and keep them

selves trim so they want lots of burger restaurants opening up everywhere and

fast-food everywhere and chocolate because if people don't put on weight

there won't be a losing weight industry there won't be we've got all sorts of

schemes not schemes all sorts of companies in the UK that you can go to

in the new year or at any time and you go every week your waiter and it's

encouraging you to lose weight so it's really that's quite insidious in a way

is this or evil in a way that you've got you've got companies trying to get you

to eat lots of foods okay and then the other industry that comes out of that is

companies trying to help you lose weight because but fortunately it's not the

same company so so so you might not it should be a business idea that would be

quite funny with Donald's opening oh yes okay opening some gyms

I am definitely I'm definitely going deaf in this year what's your favourite

people quite interested in fast food on here today and somebody's somebody have

been talking about it for most of the live stream wise fast food so so popular

somebody asked earlier it's probably because but it's fast and people living

such easy lives and they can't be bothered to cook you know it goes merits

but Steve you know that food goes a lot deeper than that it is all psychological

some for some reason I know they don't know why you can see something a picture

of food and immediately you want to eat it you want to put it into your mouth

even if it's a photograph you suddenly get that feeling as if you want to eat

well that's that that's all to do mr. Duncan I think probably connected with

our inner drives to survive because if you think about it even going back just

a few hundred years not a few thousand well even a few thousand human beings

typically if you got some food if you caught an animal and killed it to eat it

that could be your last meal for a long time

so we are programmed as human beings even though we live to live in a modern

society where food is pretty much for most of us plentiful certainly in

developed countries hmm then we're still programmed to want to eat as much food

as we can because you don't know when the next meal will come so part of our

brains are telling us there's lots of food I don't need to eat a lot but a

more primitive part is saying eat eat eat yeah because you don't know when the

next meal will be so you're saying it's a primeval urge definitely absolutely

definitely it comes it comes from our caveman days it's definitely because you

wouldn't know when the next meal was coming and but it is strange isn't it

that but but you you know even if you know that you are being manipulated in

that strange isn't it even if we actually know that we are being

manipulated we still get the same urge yes it's amazing isn't it

well because the advertising companies know exactly how to switch on that

innate drive in insight well it's it's there but you know it's something that

you're born with it's an instinct that's it and they know that bush by showing

you pictures of food and people enjoying food and eating it particularly fast

food hmm then that will switch on unconsciously your desire to eat and

your need to eat and you and your some part of your brain primitive brain will

be telling you I've got to eat have got to eat because I don't know when the

next meal is gonna come it's telling you to do that even though your conscious

mind is probably thinking I don't need to that I was plenty of food I'm gonna

put on weight another part of your brain is telling you know eat eat eat you've

got to survive yes but that's what I mean it's conflict going on this but

even if you you know even if you you you see something on TV and and there there

is a beautiful big hamburger even though you know that all they're doing is is

tempting you you still want it yes because your primitive mind is very

powerful and will usually win out against your your what sort of conscious

thinking part of your brain it is one of those

it is one of those uncontrollable jeers yes but anyway yeah let's move on we do

seem to be we can talk about primitive urges another time yes well you have you

have enough to fill a whole livestream you do that's the trouble you have to

try and control these primitive urges otherwise life becomes a nightmare

okay Steve Tomic says have you noticed that the trend has changed in terms of

advertising you used to be based on fear but now they use other feelings Comfort

well I think that's been happening certainly here in the UK and there is

another thing that is is very it's very powerful in advertising and that is

nostalgia so quite often during difficult times for example if you live

in a country where the economy is bad you will find that a lot of advertising

will use nostalgia it will use something from the past that makes a person or

might make a person react in a positive way or a nice way so they remember their

childhood or maybe they remember a better time when things were nicer or

maybe when they went out to eat a certain type of food so nostalgia

remembering the past is a very powerful tool when it comes to advertising and

also envy yes Envy is used to sell cars it's used to sell a whole range of

things so yes having something better newer brighter than your neighbor is is

a powerful force in in advertisers anyway we are talking about things UK

people say when returning to work after Christmas another one it seemed to go by

quickly it really seemed to go by quickly in fact this is something I said

to you yesterday we were in town weren't we can I just show you the most

disgusting thing ever so if you are nervous

if you are easily offended can you please close your eyes now here is

something that is absolutely disgusting so there we were yesterday Steve having

our lovely meal yes we had dumplings and potato carrots and cabbage but in a

moment we are going to see the most horrifying thing we are going to take a

look at mr. Steve filling his face he won't feel me were you mr. Duncan yes

that's why was pointing a camera at you an idea didn't you notice so there's mr.

Steve pretending to say hello now you were there all my fans mr. dink okay

watch oh my goodness and look what comes next so don't go away

keep watching something really disgusting is about to happen mr. Steve

is going to you know you don't look very happy there look watch this here it

comes oh no that's disgusting Oh mashed potato

with gravy oh if you're vegetarian don't don't watch this no because that was

beef stew beef stew and dumplings maps look at that oh my goodness so I was

talking about food making you feel hungry when you see it but my mouth is

salivating now and my saliva my mouth is watering mouth is watering salivating it

means the the juices come in your mouth because you're feeling hungry all I can

say I want that now all I can say is I hope your mother isn't watching this

because she would be disgusted with your terrible horrible repulsive thing that

was that bad mr. Duncan you're horrible table manners well I knew that you were

filming me so I was just playing up to the camera no laying up I don't think

sometimes I'm exaggerating what I do I don't think so really seemed to go by

quickly Christmas seemed to come and go quickly and of course that could apply

to any holiday yeah it couldn't it but I don't know why we spend so much time

building up to Christmas it's it's on its way only two weeks to go before

Christmas only one week to go before Christmas only two days before Christmas

and then Christmas arrives it lasts for one day and then it's gone

Anna says here what do you drink with your meal and Rosa says it looks like a

cup of milk that's interesting does it I don't understand that what does it look

like it was actually tea it was tea it was tea but it was probably I added

quite a lot of milk to Steve Steve likes to put lots of milk in his tea but it

definitely was tea we don't have alcohol because well they don't serve alcohol in

this Pitino restaurants the reason why we wouldn't anyway because we've got to

walk back but yes I usually just have tea mr. Duncan has water mm but it

probably looked a bit milky interestingly enough in that particular

restaurant that we go to well it's more of a I wouldn't call it a restaurant

it's more of a sort of cafe tea shop yes it's kind of a cafe but also a

restaurant they serve yes it serves the most amazing food it's called a copper

kettle only wait we might we might get a free meal next week I sent it it is

called the copper kettle in Much Wenlock High Street and the food is delicious

and can we please have free meals next week it is very nice they make all the

food there they make a whole range of things you can just have little snacks

you can just have tea and scones can I just say can I say Steve you've been

very good today so here's another little treat for you wait wait

steak steak though calm down calm down

crazy person if I calm down calm down calm down

no no stay stay I can't keep this up for much longer mr. Doug

by the way don't worry you'll faint the white ambulance is coming

oh no be good wave your fingers Ben mr. Duncan

I shouldn't accept food from mr. Duncan I don't know where his fingers have been

it might be dirty don't worry I know where they've been

so okay good boy good boy good boy take this gently gently for goodness sake I

can get into your mouth in one go they are quite sticky it's the yeast extract

why is this so sticky mmm got it in you can't really miss mr. Steve I'm gonna

choked you can't miss his mouth it's so big oh it's been stretched with use

right right I do not drink alcohol says Ivan more

than ten years from December 2009 watch lectures of zan off

well that's very that's very good yes because you know alcohol can be bad for

you particularly if you overindulge yes so

there's a laudable thing to do we say something laudable we say laudable we

say that it's it's very it's very good we look up to that we aspire to it we

appreciate it we admire what you've done if something is laudable one of my

friends died from alcohol he fell off a brewery roof

actually yes I know somebody that was that was so drunk at a party I wasn't

there at the time okay that they they were on a balcony

they lived three floors up in a block of flats and they just fell off the balcony

and landed on their head who okay they did survive but when I went to visit him

in hospital his head was twice the size very nice he was a nurse as well so it

just goes to show you know you think somebody who was a nurse would would

would appreciate the dangers of alcohol but that's it you see that's the the

inner mind they're working away telling you you want to have fun and laughter

and you don't always listen to you your your common sense and of course when

you're young you are quite foolish we all do foolish things when we are young

by the way we are talking about and context still we are still talking about

things UK people say when returning to work after Christmas Oh

Thank You Jimmy Jimmy's is amused by what we're doing today you're the only

one that's poor mr. Steve because I'm being made to look a fool and of course

I am a man of high intellect and station in life as we can so you are degrading

me mr. donut and making me beg for food like like like a dog yes well we did see

your rating we did see your eating habits from yesterday here's one here's

something people say this is a little joke by the way so so this is a joke

coming up now I hope you will appreciate this joke I really do go on are you

ready we had the mother-in-law for Christmas

Day it made a change from Turkey

we had the mother-in-law of a president Oh said the joke is that you were

pretending that you were eating the mother-in-law so the joke here is we

were pretending or or maybe we are making out that that's what happened

we had the mother-in-law for Christmas Day it made a change from Turkey so sure

that that is well some people might appreciate that as a joke mr. Duncan

let's see let's see how are you seeing yes

mr. Bruno says after all the food-related topics

he's now feeling hungry and I can't wait to put something on my barbecue oh do

you know it's too cold in this country at the moment to have a barbecue I love

you I don't know it's very I've been out in the garden

again today it's about 15 16 degrees it's actually quite warm I don't think

it's that was very well mind you I was chopping up bits of wood and cutting

down plants I saw you looking at me out of the window mr. Duncan doesn't like it

when I chop down bushes and he was looking to see what I was cutting down I

wasn't trying to I caught you trust me I was not watching I was not watching mr.

Steve trim his bush I've got about a million emails something people say when

they go back to work after the Christmas holiday I've got about a million emails

so quite often in work I bet you will I will have well I've got 42 oh I didn't

look at them but I just had a brief look at how many there were and there were 42

most of them will be rubbish which of course is what people find out at work

that they get lots of emails and most of them are rubbish but you have to look at

all of them in case one of them is important you never know so quite often

you go back to work after a break and you've got about a million emails of

course there are not a million emails that's

once again a slight exaggeration away Argentina of Belarus she says many

people are still on holiday in January there seems to be quite a quite a slow

period of getting back to work after Christmas and that it's true because

quite often businesses and people have done a lot of things in preparation

leading up to Christmas so they might have stocked up a lot on food so they

don't need to go to the shops for a while there's another reason it's some

of her okay I think that vaping that summer holidays begins as Belarus yeah

so at the moment in the South the southern hemisphere of planet Earth it

is approaching summer time or if you live in Australia it's hell on earth yes

so I think but the point I think Belarus here is making there is that when people

come back after a long public holiday period like Christmas then it takes a

while for things to get going again because people are still in holiday mode

and a lot of the shops aren't going to be very busy because people have

probably spent out because but a lot of people overspend going towards Christmas

so January is a bad period for businesses particularly shops to make

money because people have spent they've got to wait for their next wages to come

in in January to pay for the debt of Christmas and maybe till February shops

don't really start picking up until maybe February March time until the

weather starts getting better yeah it's a bad period of time for shops they have

to have to try and make all their money before Christmas and then in the

Christmas sales in early January so yes things take a while to get going people

are probably booking thinking about booking holidays yes well well this is

this is what I'm leaving to now okay strangely enough a lot of people at this

time of year are saying roll on summer they can't wait for summer to arrive so

most people don't really care spring I love spring I think springtime

is a great time of year it's a wonderful season however most people don't care

about spring they just want summer to come so they say roll on summer it means

come on summer hurry up I want summer to come I don't like the cold weather and

the dark nights the long dark nights so roll on summer please summer come as

quickly as you can roll on if you say roll on in anything it means hurry up

doesn't it so you could say I'll roll on the holidays hmm it just means what will

your willing them to come faster roll on the end of this live stream I hope

nobody's saying that yes people seem to be interested that we're having milk

with our tea well power mirror says tea with milk is useful for breeding mums

not quite sure what you mean there but yes we do tend to put milk in our tea

you don't some people put milk in coffee here some people don't

mmm I would say it was half-and-half but I would say virtually everybody in the

UK puts milk in their team but it depends what type of tea if it's black

tea quite often they will put milk in it yeah if it's green tea or herbal tea

they never put milk in it you would just put honey in it but most people green

tea is an acquired taste so green tea in the UK isn't widely a probably is quite

a lot of pea I know okay but do most people drink black tea and yeah okay

although herbal tea has become very popular now with all the

health-conscious people and all of the people who follow the the new religion

have you heard of the new religion I have I have a new wave the news all

praise the carrot yes veganism is now officially recognized as a thing so you

can actually have the right to express your v

views the High Court I think it happened yesterday they said yeah it's official

veganism is now official so it's just like anything else that that a person

has the right to do or express themselves with so you can go up to

someone in the street and say do you eat meat and they might say yes and the the

vegan will say that's terrible yes ethic or what they're calling ethical veganism

is virtually acquired a religious status now okay according to the courts and

therefore you have certain rights associated with that so please don't go

into that do you think vegans will have a church then and maybe at the front

there'll be a giant carrot or maybe I don't know a big big pot of cauliflower

a big ha a big pot of herbal tea on honor on a throne I drink a lot of

herbal tea now and tell mr. Duncan I only have I used to have two or three

cups of tea a day I only have one now and I have her and one cup of tea one

cup of coffee a day and then I have her booty in between because I'm trying to

reduce my intake of caffeine which is quite high in tea and coffee as we know

think of all those who think of all those poor caffeine animals that were

killed oh hang on caffeine doesn't come from animals so

mr. Steve doesn't like to get too excited you see he's a man who tries to

control and curb his enthusiasm for everything in life no well because III

you can get and I've been getting sort of mild palpitations I would say which I

think is sometimes if I go to see my customers they're off often offer me a

cup of tea or coffee and sometimes I can go to two or three customers in a row

and then you don't like to say no if somebody if a customer says would you

like a cup of tea or a cup of coffee it's difficult to say no because they

were might be perceived by them as a type of

rejection you could ask for something else yes you could do but it's asked for

a glass of water but you don't want to trouble them too much so that's less

trouble oh I miss it and will you just let me finish that's the point I'm

trying to make mr. Duncan is that you can I can often accept 2 or 3 cups of

coffee in a row within a short space of time because customers have offered it

to me and therefore the caffeine levels go up and then you can get palpitations

so so misters heart oh oh mr. Steeves heart goes into a little flutter

well you just feel the occasional extra thumb see I think this is just what

happens when you see me you see I think what happens when mr. Steve sees me his

heart goes into a little flutter because he's so excited no it's actually anxiety

because I've gone now I've got to come back home yes we're not we're not making

any sort of statement about veganism or meat eaters as such it's just a comment

what is choice what they want to do in line okay then okay this tea Steve's

really afraid of offending anyone we're not offending anyone don't worry

this is fun this is the Internet you see never confuse the internet with real

life so when you go out the house later today that's not the Internet that's

real life but this is the Internet and it's anything happens here everything

happens it has been today it's all strange

imagine if mr. Steve and myself stood in the town and behaved like this oh hang

on we have we have done that and we've been arrested for it well you were but

that's another story right any other code anything people saying mr. Duncan

all right dough in the UK Saturnino says does the UK court give the same right to

cannibals well I'm not sure about that now thankfully not I haven't heard of

many cannibals but I know I know that Satur eno is joking there but yes I

think the point she's making is well if you were to say hmm I know what she's

saying there that if you talk about something for long enough you can turn

anything into a religion can't you yes and say and say that you want special

status for that but yes don't think you could get it for being a cannibal no

well I don't think you're allowed to be a cannibal it has to be legal first of

all so I think if you went round your neighbor's house and chopped him up and

had him with dumplings in a nice thick stew and a delicious Chianti I think

people would complain longer they know what that reference is that will be

funny that's it so if you were born before 1993 you will know what that

reference was Alamgir says never trust anyone on the internet never not even

ass not even us not even us don't trust Israel you know why don't you because a

lot of people on the internet and turn out to be a charlatans charlatan

charlatan what is a charlatan a person who is a charlatan is someone who

pretends to be something they are not and the internet is full of people doing

that a lot of people go on the internet nowadays and they they call themselves

inspiring motivators or entrepreneurs have you noticed that at the moment on

YouTube there are lots of commercials for these guys who come on and say hi

guys hi my name's Chad and I've got a great new scheme to help you make loads

of money all you have to do is get my free book so click click here and find

out how I'm making 20 million dollars a week things like that but they're not

really the Charlotte's and somebody who pretends to be something or to sell

something fake that isn't true they might also be an imposter

an impostor the her sister and in person a person who I can't remember how to

speak an impostor is a person who pretends to be another person or two or

pretends to be doing something that they're not really capable of doing yes

and input somebody I for example might might come on here and we're an adidas

hat and a pair of glasses and pretend to be mr. Duncan and I would therefore be

an impostor yeah somebody who's pretending to be

somebody else yes I won't be doing that of course fraud stir a fraud stir a

person who is a fraud stir is a person who cheats are the people so maybe they

pretend to be representing a company or maybe they pretend to be from a certain

organization they are trying to trick someone into believing that they are the

person they say they are they are frauds that quite often people will trick other

people into giving them money fraud stir also a swindler oh I like this word

swindler a person who swindles other people is a person who tricks others

into giving them money or maybe trust you can swindle someone by making them

believe that you are a good person maybe I think that's usually referred to in

the context of money mm-hmm you swindle somebody out of money you might swindle

somebody out of their home hmm or their property yes

by pretending that you've solved the property for them it's all a car okay

then here's an interesting word cheat now this word Steve is interesting

because it can be a noun and also a verb okay so you can cheat someone as an

action but that person will be a cheat you are a cheat you cheated me

so to cheat and be and now on overt tell you could

cheat you could cheat somebody you could cheat on somebody couldn't you hmm if

you're being if you're having an affair with somebody else yes then you then

that person might say that you cheated on me yes you could cheat somebody out

of their inheritance yes by doing something that means that they're there

that the somebodies will has been altered yes so she wants somebody out of

their inheritance you are getting something through false pretenses you

are pretending to be a person who you are not a con artist I like this one con

artist a con artist is a person who goes around fooling or tricking people into

quite often buying things from them which are of poor quality or maybe they

pretend to be another person or someone they're not so they can get another

person's money yes if you've been conned by somebody then it means that that

they've they've defrauded you out of something so in this case it means

confidence so actually in this case it means confidence artist so you are

trying to gain their confidence you are trying to con them you are getting them

to believe something that isn't real so you can get your hands on their money oh

he's a good one Steve do you know this word vlag this is used a lot in English

especially lot in sales yes British English as well you will hear this a lot

too blag is to use words or your your personality to get something or to get

into a place so you use your words your gift of speaking or maybe your

personality so you are cleverly disguising or hiding the fact that you

shouldn't be there or you are trying to get into a place and you

we'll do anything to do it so blag blag I love that word it means yes it means

that you're talking a lot using you're very clever with words phrases and you

can convince somebody of something even though it might not be true hmm

you can blag your way into for example you might you might you might try to get

into an expensive restaurant and or you might pretend that that you're going to

a movie premiere for example and that you you you only invited people are

allowed but you sort of manage to talk your way around by pretending that

you're somebody that you're not for example hmm

also maybe some people actually get a job by blagging they were blag blag

their way in yes a black a job interview so they will say things maybe they will

make up things that they haven't even done yes they could they could say oh

can I come for an interview with your company I've got all the experience you

need I've done this I've done that they're probably lying but on the basis

of just what you've said that person might get an interview or might get

something then they're very clever with words and in the end what they do is

they overpower you with words and phrases and then the other person gives

up and says a lot might as well it's an interesting message on the live chat Jay

flaner says we can say that you have the gift of the gab or the gift of gab we

normally say the gift of the gab so gab means speaking or talking so you have

the gift you have the ability to speak in a very fluent and also a very

persuasive way you have the gift of the gab some people have said that I have

the gift of the gab er what do you think Steve well you're not trying to sell

anything as search or sell yourself no but the ability to speak yes the ability

to speak coherently and to make people believe what you're saying and that

often has a lot to do with your expression as well on the way that you

put that infant across because people can usually tell

if you're lying or giving false information but if you're a good actor

then you can then you then you you can say whatever you want and people can

believe you without any evidence you are a terrible liar by the way Steve Steve

is the worst liar in the world I don't know why but you you lie so badly

because I feel guilty I think I'm going to go mister don't couldn't let you

finish oh okay then because it's getting dark and I need to do some more things

in the garden okie dokie so I'll see you all probably

not probably not not Wednesday certainly won't be Wednesday not Wednesday not

Friday but you might be back next Sunday I could well be back next Sunday

like sunnin in so that's when you can catch us on Sunday Wednesday Friday 2

p.m. UK time so the next livestream will be Wednesday but you will be able to see

mr. Steve hopefully next Sunday isn't that nice

lovely very nice so lovely to see you all today and I hope I've been helpful

mr. Duncan in helping you to teach English and see you all very soon before

you go you can have one more one more twiglet okay so that's it very good

steady steady stay stay this is so demeaning so demeaning don't you think

so viewers stay it's very demeaning I shouldn't be treated in this in this

this it's like public humiliation it isn't it is staid hurry up

good boy off you go run he's going for a play in the garden there I am going to

get so much-- such a hard beating tonight for that so if you brag your way

you might also deceive someone as well you might deceive a person into thinking

that you are doing something you can't deceive you pretend to be someone you

pretend to be a person that you're not maybe you take another person's identity

you pretend to be another person or you pretend to have a certain ability trick

you can trick someone into believing that you are another person or maybe you

have a certain ability con so maybe you con someone you get a person's

confidence you get them to believe that you are a real person or maybe you get

them to believe that your intentions are real you con that person so that is

actually a verb and it also can be a noun as well so a con is the trick and

also you can con someone finally sham oh I like this word so if something is a

sham it means it is not real it is something that appears on the surface to

be a real thing however in reality it is not real

it is a sham such as a marriage so quite often in I don't know in celebrity

circles you might find that two people will get married however the marriage is

not a real marriage they are just doing it to to make them seem normal

a sham marriage so something that is not real something that is being done for

other reasons not the genuine reason sham and that's it today I met a word

bilk and it means deceive to yes I think you can build someone I think it's a

combination of two words Thank You Bella rusia Thank You Valentin I will be going

around to my neighbour's house in a moment
