71
852320
5040
14:17
hello to you as well nice to see you here today  we are talking about the subject of loss losing  
72
857360
10000
14:28
things you might lose something this morning  i was looking for something in my studio  
73
868480
10640
14:39
something i really needed a very simple object  but something that i really needed to to set up
74
879120
8400
14:49
in this studio one of my cameras very  simple little piece of metal nothing too  
75
889760
7280
14:57
complicated but i could not find it anywhere  i was looking in my cupboards in my storage  
76
897040
7200
15:04
areas i thought i might have to go into the  attic to have a look fortunately i didn't but i  
77
904240
7760
15:12
looked everywhere isn't it annoying when  you lose something and you can't find it  
78
912000
7440
15:19
and quite often it is at a moment when you really  need it maybe you are about to leave the house  
79
919440
6400
15:27
maybe you are about to go to work and suddenly  you realize you haven't got your house keys or  
80
927120
9040
15:36
the keys to your car and then suddenly you can't  find them anywhere so you are looking around the  
81
936160
6880
15:43
house you look in the cupboard you look in all  of the places where you normally leave your keys  
82
943040
6880
15:51
and they are not there you go upstairs you  look in the toilet not not in the toilet  
83
951760
8400
16:01
not actually inside the toilet but in the area  where the toilet is or maybe the bathroom it can  
84
961120
8480
16:09
happen so sometimes when you lose an item or you  mislay something that you can't find sometimes  
85
969600
9040
16:18
it turns up in a very unusual place so i lost  something this morning i couldn't find it anywhere  
86
978640
8000
16:27
and after hunting all around the studio and  then i started to open boxes that i haven't  
87
987280
6640
16:33
opened for ages and then i look in my drawers  where there is lots of junk and then i start  
88
993920
7040
16:40
moving all of the junk out of the drawers and as  time goes by i begin to become more irritated and  
89
1000960
10400
16:51
annoyed by the fact that i can't find the thing  i'm looking for it drives me absolutely crazy  
90
1011360
10000
17:01
eventually so this particular story does  have a happy ending eventually i did find it  
91
1021360
5360
17:08
but i was looking all over the place i  was searching right through this room  
92
1028640
8000
17:17
i had every drawer every cupboard every space  i was at one point i was on my hands and knees  
93
1037600
8000
17:27
not for the first time today i can tell  you so it is very annoying when you  
94
1047520
6880
17:34
lose something something just vanishes it  seems to disappear into thin air by the way  
95
1054400
9680
17:44
that particular phrase was created by shakespeare  shakespeare william shakespeare created the phrase  
96
1064080
8240
17:52
the phrase when something disappears all of a  sudden it vanishes into thin air oh very nice  
97
1072960
9840
18:04
oh we have some questions coming through  very nice oh by the way hello udom udom  
98
1084560
7680
18:12
nice to see you back watching in  bangkok nice to see you back as well
99
1092240
6000
18:21

100
1101920
10160
18:32

102
1121120

105
1141760
5440
19:09

106
1149360
1680
19:12

107
1152880
10960
19:38
and there it was so now you know so  i do have a facebook page i also have
108
1178240
7040
19:48
i do have instagram however i will be  honest i don't use it very often and  
109
1188000
8800
19:56
you know what i'm going to say next i don't  use it because i'm not an attractive young girl  
110
1196800
6480
20:04
or a teenager or a millionaire  showing off their private jet
111
1204880
5760
20:12
rolling around on a bed covered with  hundred dollar bills unfortunately i'm not  
112
1212960
7040
20:20
one of those people i'm not that glamorous a lot  of people think oh mr duncan being on youtube  
113
1220000
7760
20:27
and you you are you are so big on youtube you  must have you must have such a glamorous life  
114
1227760
7840
20:36
can i just say my life is not glamorous this  morning i was i was checking to make sure that  
115
1236880
8240
20:46
all of the refuse was put into my refuse  bin and i had to wrap everything up all  
116
1246240
8880
20:55
of the stinky rubbish had to be wrapped  up and then i put it into my refuse bin  
117
1255120
6720
21:03
so there is my glamorous life i don't have anyone  doing that for me sometimes i have to do really  
118
1263040
7280
21:10
awful things things that are not glamorous  like washing mr steve's underpants oh dear  
119
1270320
8080
21:19
it's terrible the things i have to go through so  no i am not a regular contributor on instagram  
120
1279680
9040
21:28
i don't post my instas oh mr duncan very nice oh  very trendy very very very up-to-date so i don't  
121
1288720
10640
21:39
i i have an instagram but i don't insta very  often i don't do it very often so now you know
122
1299360
8560
21:50
vitoria says i am always losing lots of  things because i am very distracted but  
123
1310640
5600
21:56
fortunately they are normally things of little  importance oh i like that phrase by the way  
124
1316240
6720
22:03
something of little importance something that is  not crucial something that is trivial it is not  
125
1323600
12400
22:16
important it is trivial it is of no importance so  maybe you lose something i am always losing spoons
126
1336000
11440
22:29
i know what you're going to say mr  duncan that uh that sounds a bit weird  
127
1349440
5440
22:36
you're weirdo you're weird man well when  i say spoons i mean the small spoons  
128
1356080
6800
22:43
that i use for stirring my tea but quite  often i lose them i can't find them anywhere  
129
1363520
5760
22:49
and sometimes they are hiding at the back of the  drawer so when you are opening and closing the  
130
1369920
8240
22:58
drawer sometimes the small spoons the teaspoons  will move around and they will become hidden  
131
1378160
7600
23:07
so quite often i will lose the teaspoons and i can  never find one i can never find a clean teaspoon  
132
1387120
7680
23:16
it's one of those strange mysteries in life  
133
1396320
2480
23:19
so i am often losing things i will put  something down and then a few moments later
134
1399360
6240
23:28
i will have no idea where it is the other night  you might not believe this but the other night i  
135
1408080
7040
23:35
lost a cup of tea i lost it i couldn't find it mr  steve gave me a cup of tea and then i was walking  
136
1415120
9600
23:44
around with it in my hand i put it down somewhere  and then a few minutes later i i suddenly realized  
137
1424720
8480
23:53
i didn't have my cup of tea and i couldn't find  it how do you lose a cup of tea mr duncan that  
138
1433200
8240
24:01
seems very strange that seems like a very strange  thing to do there there might be something wrong  
139
1441440
6080
24:07
with you you might want to go and see the doctor  thank you very much for that advice very nice
140
1447520
10320
24:20
some lovely jokes coming through as  well on the live chat i don't know why  
141
1460240
3840
24:24
i don't know why suddenly we are telling jokes  but i will read them later i'm not quite sure  
142
1464960
7440
24:33
oh that's interesting claudia says small spoons  usually go in the dustbin with my pot of yogurt  
143
1473120
9360
24:43
that is brilliant because that i've  done that in the past i have actually  
144
1483280
7840
24:51
don't tell mr steve this because if mr steve  finds out he will be so angry i have thrown  
145
1491120
9520
25:02
teaspoons away as well so yes i've done it so i've  also thrown small teaspoons they're very small you  
146
1502240
9520
25:11
see and sometimes when you're eating yogurt or  maybe if you have a teaspoon on a large plate  
147
1511760
7840
25:20
but you have some some tissue paper and then you  throw it all away into the bin and sometimes you  
148
1520560
6880
25:27
will throw away your lovely spoons as well so it  has happened to me i think that is something that  
149
1527440
7600
25:35
happens a lot somewhere in the world there  is there is a huge mountain of teaspoons  
150
1535040
9360
25:45
from all the teaspoons that people have  thrown away around the world i think so
151
1545920
6640
25:54
ricardo says sometimes some things i only lose  once but then nothing is the same for example  
152
1554800
7840
26:03
innocence ah you lose your innocence we  often think of childhood as being a time  
153
1563760
9840
26:13
when you don't know the reality of life or the  the realities of of living in this modern world  
154
1573600
8080
26:22
whenever it is because whenever you are alive  it is always modern have you noticed that  
155
1582320
7360
26:29
so maybe people living in the dark ages or  the middle ages they must have been really  
156
1589680
5840
26:35
satisfied with themselves they were  probably walking around having a poop  
157
1595520
5680
26:41
in the street and they were probably thinking well  what a what a great time to be alive here we are  
158
1601200
6880
26:48
of course they didn't know it was the middle  ages they didn't decide that oh this period of  
159
1608720
6560
26:55
time that we're living in now will be called  the middle ages they didn't know that you see  
160
1615280
5120
27:01
and i don't know if it was dark or how dark  it was but the middle ages or the dark ages  
161
1621120
7520
27:09
would have appeared to be modern to the people  living in that time so just like now you see  
162
1629440
8000
27:17
so now we think the world we live in is amazing  isn't this amazing but a hundred years from now  
163
1637440
8000
27:26
people will be looking back at this time that  we are living in now and they will say oh those  
164
1646560
5200
27:31
poor people oh what a shame oh do you remember  a hundred years ago in 2021 oh everyone was so  
165
1651760
10000
27:41
miserable oh i'm so glad that i'm living in the  22nd century i'm so glad i don't i don't like the  
166
1661760
10800
27:52
21st century no no i i think i prefer living in  the 22nd century apparently people in the early  
167
1672560
8800
28:01
2000s they had a terrible life they did their  computers were so slow and everything was so bad
168
1681360
11040
28:14
so i think that's what happened you see so we are  alive now we are enjoying the world and we think  
169
1694800
6400
28:21
everything is so modern and fantastic and it  is when you compare it to a hundred years ago  
170
1701200
7840
28:29
but a hundred years from now wow i think i  think it's going to be amazing sadly i won't  
171
1709040
6720
28:35
be here to see it but i'm sure it will  be super duper i'm pretty sure it will  
172
1715760
6320
28:42

186
1838960
8400

189
1864160
2880
31:11

190
1871200
720
31:16
when i was in pakistan me and my cousin used  to love your teaching classes hello nazar  
191
1876560
6240
31:23
nazar hussain who says we used to watch your  
192
1883440
3520
31:27
teaching classes many years ago thank you  very much well i am still here doing this  
193
1887520
4880
31:33
15 years ago i started doing this and i'm  still here now still here doing this 15 years  
194
1893440
9200
31:44
there are people watching at the moment  who have probably been alive for less time  
195
1904400
6960
31:52
than i've been doing this on youtube isn't  that amazing and also slightly depressing  
196
1912160
5360
31:57
at the same time so in a few moments  we are talking about loss losing things  
197
1917520
7200
32:04
there are many songs that have been written  over the years about losing things feeling lost  
198
1924720
10720
32:16
and alone maybe you are feeling loss because your  lover has left you maybe you are feeling alone  
199
1936480
12240
32:29
because your lover has run off with someone else
200
1949360
3600
32:35
i wasn't good enough
201
1955840
1120
32:39
i am lost
202
1959920
1920
32:45
claudia something similar happened to me someone  phoned me one day and said i have your card  
203
1965040
7280
32:53
you left it in the atm machine yes well that  can happen as well i think nowadays i think  
204
1973040
7760
33:00
nowadays the machine will make a sound
205
1980800
2640
33:06
i think it will make a noise so if you  leave your money or your card in the machine  
206
1986720
6160
33:13
well the ones here anyway the ones here do it  
207
1993760
2800
33:17
so if you leave your money or your card in  the atm machine it will make a little sound
208
1997200
6640
33:27
like that
209
2007200
480
33:30
i hope you enjoyed that impression
210
2010480
2000
33:35
ricardo says mr duncan sometimes evolution  goes back and it might be that any past time  
211
2015360
7920
33:43
was better than the future who knows yes  well i suppose that's one way of looking at  
212
2023840
6160
33:50
it as long as there is always evolution as long  as mankind or humankind is always moving forward  
213
2030000
11360
34:03
and maybe learning more about the world around  us or maybe learning more about the universe  
214
2043200
8000
34:11
around us then things will get better so who  knows but yes i like to think i like to look on  
215
2051840
6880
34:18
the bright side of that to be honest i like to  think that things will be better in the future
216
2058720
7680
34:29
anna rita says mr duncan did you use  the money that you found on the floor  
217
2069520
5680
34:35

218
2075200
7840
34:43
so unfortunately no it wasn't it was  no help whatsoever i can't remember  
219
2083840
5600
34:49
what i did actually with the money isn't it  strange i actually can't remember what i did  
220
2089440
6000
34:56
what did i do with the money i remember finding  it mega says mr duncan you are looking cute  
221
2096560
8560
35:05

224
2118240
8800
35:29
christina says among the things lost in life  or the worst thing was when my company closed  
225
2129360
7360
35:36
i lost my job yes well i suppose something  equal to money is your means of earning money  
226
2136720
10560
35:47
which in most cases is your job in my  case in your case in all of our lives  
227
2147280
8080
35:56
having a job means you have an income i suppose  yes i think so i hope you found another job  
228
2156080
7920
36:04
i hope something else came along and you  didn't have too much difficulty i really do
229
2164880
6960
36:15
hello anna rita i don't know what chef means  but i'm absolutely sure you are a gentleman so  
230
2175760
8560
36:24
thank you if a person is chuffed it means they  are happy or pleased with something you feel  
231
2184320
8640
36:33

232
2193840
9360
36:43

36:52

234
2212640
10000
37:02
feeling pleased about something so i hope that  helps you mary says i always lose keys my phone  
235
2222640
9760
37:13
and documents in my chamber but five minutes later  i will find all of those things it does happen i  
236
2233120
11680
37:24
think sometimes when you are trying to do too many  things at the same time if you are doing one thing  
237
2244800
6720
37:32
but you are also doing something else at the  same time that is when you make mistakes you  
238
2252320
5520
37:37
start to lose things maybe you put something  down in the corner of the room but then you  
239
2257840
5840
37:43
forget and then you go to do something else and  then a few moments later you think where is that  
240
2263680
8560
37:52
thing that i had where is it where has it gone  i've lost it and then you start looking for it  
241
2272240
7440
38:01
eventually you find it yes eventually  you find it that's good it's great
242
2281440
6000
38:10
sometimes i don't remember whether i took my pills  
243
2290960
4240
38:15
or not they say that is because we are thinking  of other subjects when we are taking the pill  
244
2295200
7120
38:22
yes that is true i sometimes take medicine or  vitamin pills for my new healthy life that i have  
245
2302880
10000
38:34
or i'm trying to get i haven't quite succeeded  yet but i'm on my way towards it well of course  
246
2314240
7360
38:41
if you have to take lots of medicine if you have  to take lots of pills quite often if you are  
247
2321600
5600
38:47
maybe elderly or maybe you are suffering  ill health quite often you will have a  
248
2327760
7440
38:55
little container that has compartments and all of  those compartments each one has a day of the week  
249
2335200
10000
39:05
monday tuesday wednesday thursday friday saturday  sunday and then you put all of your pills  
250
2345200
7200
39:13
into those little boxes into those compartments  to make sure that you don't forget to take your  
251
2353600
6800
39:20
medicine so you know that if it is tuesday  you know you have to take your tuesday pills  
252
2360400
7680
39:29
so if you go to tuesday and it's empty  that means that you've already taken them  
253
2369200
8080
39:38
or of course it might also mean that  you forgot to put the pills in there  
254
2378880
4560
39:45
so i suppose you could still make mistakes i think  so so let's have a look shall we at some of the  
255
2385280
7520
39:54
words and phrases but first of all look at that  
256
2394560
3120
39:58
i couldn't resist showing you the view  at the moment outside look at that isn't  
257
2398320
5600
40:03
that absolutely lovely it really does feel as if  autumn is in the air i have to be honest with you  
258
2403920
7520
40:12
i am really enjoying the weather at the moment  it makes me feel rather nice to say the least
259
2412640
8400
40:23
autumn is definitely in the air very nice so here  we go then let's have a look shall we we have  
260
2423760
8080
40:31
the subject of loss now this  might sound like a depressing  
261
2431840
5120
40:36
subject not all of this is depressing  not all of it is sad so stick with me  
262
2436960
7680
40:46
here we go then loss words and phrases there are  many ways of looking at this particular word many  
263
2446640
7440
40:54
ways of using this word as well so we are going  to have a look at some words and phrases that  
264
2454080
7280
41:01
we can use connected to the subject of loss  the word loss is a noun that means the fact  
265
2461360
8720
41:10
or process of losing something or someone so the  word loss can relate to a thing or a person so  
266
2470080
12080
41:22
something that was there and now is not can leave  you with that feeling and the feeling is loss
267
2482160
11680
41:35
the amount of money lost by a  business or organization is a loss  
268
2495680
6320
41:43
we often describe money that has been  lost as part of the profit of a company  
269
2503120
7600
41:52
the loss is the amount lost during a certain  period of time so we often think of loss as  
270
2512080
7600
41:59
i suppose another word you could use is  deficit deficit so the loss is the amount  
271
2519680
7680
42:07
of money that you've spent extra but you  have not made that money back it is loss
272
2527360
9680
42:19
the deep feeling of grief experienced  after losing someone or something of value  
273
2539760
6560
42:27
so the feeling of loss we might describe it as  an emotion and i think that would be fair to say  
274
2547040
8640
42:35
that loss is an emotion it is the feeling  of grief and maybe you have lost something  
275
2555680
12240
42:47
maybe a possession maybe something that belongs to  you that is treasured or valuable or maybe it has  
276
2567920
9920
42:58
some sentimental value so perhaps it isn't  worth much money maybe it isn't valuable  
277
2578560
6960
43:06
but to you it is it has sentimental value  so the deep feeling of grief experienced  
278
2586400
9200
43:15
after losing someone or something of value  i will never get over the loss of my mother
279
2595600
10240
43:29
it is hard to forget the loss of my pet something  that means a lot to you something that has value  
280
2609760
11120
43:42
in terms of money or in terms of emotional  connection can be described as loss  
281
2622160
9840
43:53
in singular form a person or thing  that is badly missed when lost  
282
2633680
6160
44:01
so when something goes before it goes or at the  same time as losing it we can say that it is  
283
2641440
10480
44:13
loss he will be a great loss to this company  when something goes when something disappears  
284
2653280

3200
44:25

288
2682960
9840
44:55

289

45:02

290
2702800
9600
45:13
but you are not making any money from the  company so you keep putting more and more money  
291
2713200
7920
