life also mr. Steve will be here talking about paranoia do you ever feel paranoid

about the world around you and of course you are more than welcome to join in on

the live chat as well yes you can join in live with me after all it's just

after 10 o'clock here in the UK it's a Wednesday night and this is late and live English

dip-dip do here we go oh my goodness it's Wednesday again I can't believe how

fast time is going 2018 is like a blur it is going by so quickly I really

really can't believe it well it's happening again we are now

live across the internet live on YouTube in fact and here we go again hi

everybody this is mr. Duncan in England but I think you already know that how

are you today are you okay I hope so are you happy well are you happy I

really really hope so it is Wednesday late and live I will get

straight to the point because there is one I am here to help you with your

English listening so for all those who are here for the first time can I say

hello to you don't forget I am here twice a week on Sunday and Wednesday

Sunday at 2 p.m. UK time and Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. UK time you can find me

right here on YouTube besides myself there is also someone else who always

likes to join in especially when the live chat is on

did it get colder in here...or is it just me?

think it's just you mr. Steve definitely I'm pretty sure it's just you so mr.

Steve coming a little bit later on lots of things to talk about including

childhood fears was there anything that made you feel afraid when you were young

and have some of those childhood fears continued into your adult life so by

that I mean the things that made you scared when you were young do they still

make you feel afraid I can think of some good examples maybe

the dark so perhaps when you were young you were afraid of the dark and maybe

now you are still afraid of being in the dark so there is a good example to to

help you think about your childhood fears also mr. Steve will be talking

about other things later on including paranoia it would appear that these days

there is a lot of distrust of those in authority now more than ever it would

appear that people don't trust the people in authority those who hold

office or those who have high responsibilities or they have a job that

is well paid maybe in the government or some other area so it would appear that

we are and more we are more suspicious than we used to be is it so do you worry

about who is watching you do you worry about who is getting your information so

have we all become a little bit too paranoid that's a great word by the way

if you are paranoid it means you fear everything you believe that there are

things happening around you that other people cannot see for example maybe you

think people are listening to your conversations or maybe you are being

watched by strangers around the world in fact

I'm having that very same feeling right now I'm feeling right now is if lots and

lots of eyes are staring at me does that mean I'm paranoid now of

course not it means I'm live on YouTube on a

Wednesday night and I hope you are okay some things to show you we were out

walking the other night and we saw a very unusual view and here it is

would you like to see it so this is a rather unusual view of the local

landmark which is not very far away from my house so there you can see it do you

know what it is it is a rather different view of the thing we see all the time

from my studio so there it is that is the Wrekin hill the Wrekin and that is a

famous landmark in the area in which i live so we filmed that the other night

and i was quite surprised to see that from different angles this particular

hill looks very different so from one angle it looks very long and from

another angle it looks very narrow so there you can see the Wrekin hill from a

rather unusual angle not the normal angle not the normal view that we have

from my studio window and also whilst out walking we saw this lovely old

church as well again not very far away from where i live but i thought it was

quite a nice area and if you look closely in the distance as we move

around right in the distance that is where i am right now so right in the

distance the very distance is where i am standing at this very moment in time

lots and lots of lovely views and one more before we continue oh look at this

always in that nice another nice view there looking out across the countryside

of Shropshire a lot of people ask where I live the place I live in is called

Shropshire and that is in the United Kingdom or more precisely England and

that is where I am right now on a Wednesday night it's late and live

English not only me there is also mr. Steve and of course

you as well on the live chat let's have a quick look at the live chat shall we

because I don't want to ignore the live chatters or else they might get a little

bit angry so let's have a look at the live chat there it is

the big question is who was first on the live chat who was first let's have a

look shall we oh that's very interesting

so tonight the first person on the live chat is Belarusian and of course you

know what that means it means you get a big SuperDuper mr. Duncan round of

applause well done Bellarussia well done for being first on the live chat and in

second place we have Alice hello my lovely teacher hello to you as well and

Alex now Alex I'm not sure if I should break the rules for you but you are in

third place maybe next week you will be first so so maybe you should be a little

bit quicker with your finger maybe on Sunday so perhaps on Sunday you will be

first on the live chat so better luck next time

Shirin is here hello Sharon and also to most side most side Farouk hello to you

live chat that would be super Alex win Sergei is saying hello to

everyone also we have pal Mira here hello pal Mira lots of regular viewers

Akhil hello Akhil I want to improve my language can you help me yes I can I can

help you to improve your English listening your English speaking and your

general in lish so that means everything involved

in using the english language whether it is spoken written and of course if you

are listening to English and that is the reason why I do this live stream it is a

very good way of improving your listening skills Louis Mendez hello

Louie yes let's start another lesson and we have already MX 25 hello to you I

haven't seen you for a long time MS fairy says hello hello to you as well

thank you very much thanks also for your email I received a lovely email from you

at the weekend so thank you very much for your very kind words concerning my

lessons I'm very moved by what you had to say and can I also say thank you to

all those who sent messages on Sunday for my birthday thank you so much I had

I had a round about 250 messages on email on my Facebook and through YouTube

as well so lots and lots of birthday greetings from last Sunday so thanks a

lot for that I was very overwhelmed and did you see mr. Steve he gave me a big

surprise at the end of Sunday's livestream I was very very surprised

quite shocked in fact I almost cried by the way I was very close to tears I'm

not sure if you noticed but I I almost started to cry like a baby Mavi hello to

Mavi from Turkey hello Turkey and a big hello to everyone watching in that

particular place dosia is in Poland Alex says I can't believe it what what

can't you believe please with us all Alice oh it's that t-shirt

again I really love it it's really vintage it reminds me of my childhood

Thank You Alice so yes this is a vintage t-shirt that I'm wearing tonight it

looks like something from many years ago so when we talk about vintage it means

something old or something that was used or something that was around in the past

and it has been kept normally in good condition

vintage paranoid the paranoid is never entirely mistaken or the paranoid are

never are never entirely mistaken that was a quote by Freud yes people that are

paranoid if you are a paranoid person you might sometimes be right but maybe

most of the time you'll be wrong so maybe sometimes your paranoia the

feeling of suspicion might be right but perhaps for most of the time it's wrong

hello Gretel mr. Steve can't be absent no he isn't don't worry mr. Steve will

be here in a few moments so please everyone all you fans of mr. Steve don't

worry he will be here row sir hello mr. Duncan and everybody we like your

t-shirt is it a birthday gift no it isn't I've had this t-shirt for about

two years I'm still afraid of remembering my bugbears

the things that scared you when you were young Thank You Sergio for that that's a

great word by the way bugbears the book bears are the things that upset

you or things that are on your mind something that annoys you over a long

period of time or maybe makes you feel afraid your bugbears

that's a great word by the way thanks for introducing that tonight

Reba hello Reba from Iraq and I watching you from Turkey hello to you Alice says

I was afraid of any kind of lizard and phibian and snake well can I just tell

you something Alice a little bit later on we are going to take a look at my

spiders yes the spiders are still living in the house we are at the moment taking

care of some spiders and I haven't showed the spiders for a long time so I

thought tonight we would show the spiders or at least one of them and the

spider is doing something very unusual

hello from Sao Paulo in Brazil hi to you thanks a lot for joining us Marella

hello Marella I don't think I've seen your name before is it your first time

Reder is here as well we miss you mr. Duncan Thank You Rader

well don't forget I am here twice a week twice a week on Wednesday and also

Sunday I will give you the details once more later on

Alex says it didn't happen all right maybe next time I will get revenge oh I

think I think alex is talking about being first on the live chat anyway

maybe better luck next time that's what I say

Kamara thanks a lot for teaching is you are the best teacher I know Thank You

Kamara that's very kind of you and we are almost up-to-date with the live chat

Mexico is watching Galileo hello Galileo that's a great

name by the way and a unab a and bi yeah sorry about

that and by er hello to mr. Stephen mr.

Duncan from Pakistan hello to you Paulo or Paulo is here watching in

Brazil oh it would appear that I have a lot of people watching in Brazil I've

noticed this on Wednesday every Wednesday I have noticed that we do get

a lot of people watching in South America and that is the reason why I do

this late and live English there you can see the time now is 25 minutes past 10

o'clock at night so all my neighbours are now asleep they are all asleep in their

beds but I am still up so it is very late at night now here in the UK so for

those watching in South America it is still morning or maybe almost midday so

that's the reason why I do that that is the reason why we do the later live I

also believe we have some people watching in the USA so if there is

anyone watching in the United States at the moment please say a big hi on the

live chat go on don't be shy give it a try

you never know you might like it so the live chat is very busy would you like to

have a look at my giant spider now these are the spiders that we are looking

after at the moment so if you don't like spiders if you don't like big spiders

you can cover your eyes now like this and then I will tell you when you can

look again okay so here is the spider one of them we have three at the moment

that we are taking care of for for one of mr. Steve's friends so here is one of

the spiders doing something very unusual can you see what it's doing so this is

one of the tarantulas and it is cleaning itself it is actually having a wash it

is cleaning its legs and I was watching tonight I was actually sitting

on the floor watching the spider and I couldn't work out what he was doing so I

got really close with the camera and then I realised he was actually cleaning

itself which is something I've never seen before I didn't realize that

tarantulas cleaned themselves but obviously they do so there is the

tarantula and yes it is big so for those who don't like spiders please keep your

eyes covered for another 10 seconds and I think that particular spider is maybe

starting to lose its shell so spiders sometimes will also lose their their

outer skin they will shed their skin so I have a strange feeling that this

spider might be preparing to lose its skin so as the spider grows it has to

lose its skin so it can get larger so I think that's what it is doing ok the

spider has now gone it is there no more so for those who were hiding you can now

come back the spider has gone would you like to see something very cute now so

here once again some wildlife that I filmed two nights ago whilst walking

around the village and there you can see some little baby cows oh look there they

are can you see them so in this field there

are lots of little newborn cows they are called calves calves so calves

are newborn cows and there you can see a closer look on they lovely and they look

very very inquisitive they look quite interested in what is going on around

them now I would say that these calves are probably about two maybe two weeks

old to me or maybe even three weeks old but they are they are not very old

aren't they lovely the thing I love about calves is that their legs always

look too long it always looks as if their legs are far

too long so there one of the views from the other night some little baby calves

are they cute and one or two of them were having difficulty to walk they were

having difficulty standing up so so maybe they are just two weeks old

that's what I think anyway so I hope you enjoyed that some little baby cows some

of them are cows and some of them are little baby bulls so in a few weeks time

they will be running around in the field and having lots of fun but at the moment

they are rather nervous live-chat and then we will have a look

at one of our full English lessons and then mr. Steve will be joining us as

well so the live chat is now on we will have another look

yes the the spider is very clean Thank You Mavi for that

I think the spider was actually cleaning itself I hate spiders since I watched

Lord of the Rings says betel oh yes I remember there was a scene in Lord of

the Rings where that giant spider was coming down from the web yes

well I'm pleased to say that the spiders in my house are not as big as that

spider so don't worry too much about it Gretel your pet looks so fluffy yes

the spider looks very furry betel the spider looks very impressive oh thank

you I'm glad you like it hi everybody friends from jealous Co in

Mexico and that comes from Oscar hello Oscar Sanchez nice to see you here

palmyra is here or palmyra in lithuania where it is now after midnight in

Lithuania alex says I like spiders they are killing the flies in my room but

they are not so big well that's good I'm not sure if I would like to have a room

full of tarantulas walking around on my wall to be honest I think I would be

very scared indeed Kennedy Pradeep iris says so cute

oh yes the lovely young cows yes they were lovely yes very nice my nephew has

a little baby cow but it is not a real one it is a doll Thank You Gretel for

that Sergio is here yes vintage means something being older than

25 years and of great value yes something vintage we often use the

word vintage to mean old so something that is from the past can also be

vintage we will often used that word very loosely to

mean something from the past so let's have a look at one of my full English

lessons and then we're going to do something very unusual we are going to

go into the kitchen where mr. Steve is going to show us what

is in our fridge do you have a refrigerator do you have a fridge in

your house that is full of stuff that you don't eat or that you haven't eaten

for a long time so we're going to do something very unusual in a few moments

we're going to have a look in our fridge and it will be completely live it will

be completely unrehearsed so whatever we find in that fridge we will show to you

however embarrassing it might be so here we go it is an excerpt from one of my

live English lessons and this is taken from live English or should I say full

English number twelve

well a big happy hello to you my name is mr. Duncan and I'm so pleased to see you

here again for another full English lesson this is full English number 12

which means that I have now made a dozen episodes of full English a dozen of

something is 12 half a dozen of something is six and two dozen of

something is twenty-four do you know how many things make up a

gross twelve dozen things is a gross which is 144 the word gross can also

mean horrible all disgusting the way he picks his nose is so gross what's that

Oh apparently we are now behind schedule so I'd better get on with today's full

English lesson right now

do you believe in fate do you see your life is being won controlled by fate

the word fate means the course of a person's life or the events of someone's

life that are out of their control fate means that what will happen will happen

and there is nothing that can be done to stop it imagine your life being like a

road all the things you will encounter and experience are already there waiting

for you to meet them a predetermined outcome is fate some people believe that

their life is already mapped out that their fate is already sealed of course

there are those who believe the opposite and feel that life is something we

determine for ourselves that each person has ultimate control of their own

destiny sometimes an event or situation occurs that might appear fateful an

inevitable event might seem fateful in English there is the phrase fate worse

than death which means something that is really bad

or something bad that is about to happen or has happened already do you believe

in fate

here is something that can come in very handy if you are out in the wilderness

this is a piece of tree it's a stick a small piece of branch from a tree can be

called a stick a length of branch that is not very heavy or thick can be called

a stick you can use a stick to support yourself

as you walk a large amount of sticks can be used to make a shelter or a raft to

float on water you can use a stick as a weapon to defend yourself with and a

stick makes a very good back scratcher oh yes a stick is a very useful thing

indeed the word stick can also mean to fix two things together normally with

glue you stick two things together as an idiom stick together means stay with

each other whatever happens you and I will always

stick together

you

it's time now to take a look at another buzzword a buzzword is a phrase or

sentence that is used a lot during a certain period or is generally popular

today's buzzword is corrupt this is a word that seems to come around again and

again the word corrupt means the action of being dishonest in return for money

or personal gain a person with high authority might be found to be corrupt

if he or she is giving preferential treatment to someone in return for money

or favours you scratch my back and I will scratch yours if you give something to

me then I will do something for you more often than not corruption does involve

bribery taking place between powerful people bribery is the action of

exchanging money for personal favors or gain corruption is the noun that names

the act of being corrupt we will always describe a person involved in corruption

as being corrupt a corrupt politician the official has been charged with

corruption that person has accepted money or gifts in return for giving

favors to someone that person is corruptible easily bored dissolute

self-indulgent and morally depraved

doop doop doop do yes it is late and live English and there you just saw one

of the excerpts that I often show on my live streams of one of my full English

lessons don't forget there are lots and lots of lessons on my youtube channel

yes it is a Wednesday night every Wednesday we are late in live and now we

are going to do something very different something quite unusual in fact now in

the past I used to go into the kitchen and quite often I would make a drink for

myself or do something may be connected to cooking but today we are going to do

something very different mr. Steve is now live in the kitchen and we are going

to take a live look inside our refrigerator mr. Steve can you hear me I

can indeed can you hear and see me I can oh this is exciting we haven't done that

we haven't done a live stream like this with you in one room and me in the

kitchen I've been outside before but this is very very different it is very

unusual indeed so what first of all I believe you have something to show us

oh well I've got the register of course I've got the register so I've been

upstairs on my laptop and when you start at the live stream I have as I had been

for the last two or three times now looking at who is coming on and ticking

them off on my little register and I've been very busy because it's quite hard

work doing this because there's so many messages coming on and you probably

already given the applause to Belarus here she was first today he wasn't she

that's right but alex my wild has asked at least twice he wants some applause as

well even though he wasn't first today you know what I think Steve I think I

think alex is a is a bit cheeky well yes he's

for a pause twice you think we should give him some applause maybe on Sunday

oh come on Alex and well I would have given you some applause but Mr Duncan

being the strict teacher he is has refused you applause but I'll give you

some I'll give this applause anyway but you

might get it yeah try to get home first on Sunday and you'll get the proper

applause well that's all we've got Aaron gas is here Steve yes that's the

whole point of it no I know exactly that's the whole point of being first on

the live chat so you get the applause Francisco Munoz is here Garcia Eagle a

Gretel Luciano is here you probably said the Connell from a Bejoy a badge I

Albert Abid by Jam is here gotta avenge leave namenda it's not easy to say Luis

Mendez says here we go again cause he was here on something maybe he's here MS

ferry 4mx 25a hello Palmyra from with you on Dania Rita Maria Gomez from San

Paolo Rosa Sergio and we have quite a lot of new people though I'd like to

mention who I've written in in pen upstairs while I was watching ok mr.

Duncan we have a massive Rock we have a tall Morello and Akhil Akhil akela Akhil

wants to improve the language can we help yes we can just keep watching and

watching mr. Duncan's 500 lessons and your English will definitely get better

T gen Iran says that they've missed us a lot

Diego Pope says hi and we've got maem maem in Senegal watching tonight says hi

to everyone around the world I don't know whether you'd be murmurs

before name but welcome very much welcome from Senegal Nizar Rashid wicker

M says hi again Laila says hi raver Cordy

Reba Cordy are probably not pronouncing that correctly is in from Iraq Kurdistan

but is actually in Turkey at the moment visiting visiting an uncle so that's

quite interesting Ricardo is here al masses here Marella is here Galileo

there's a famous set of famous name if ever there was one but Galileo Volquez

I'm guessing you're from Italy and

that's about it I think oh we've got Rafa rs is in London huh watching us in

London and we've got an abaya sired in Pakistan Karachi so they're just that's

just a few of the new people that we've got on today incredible on the list the

list keeps getting bigger and bigger mr. Duncan well it must be over 300 it's

about 300 now 280 something it was and that's just people that is just people

who are making comments so it's not gonna have to give up my day job just to

keep track of everybody that's watching it's mr. Duke that is that is actually

brilliant because you you do spend a lot of time compiling this register oh I'm

exhausted it's all my god possibly do anything

else it's almost become an obsession it's an obsession

I'm obsessed and I like to know I like to know where you're from so please when

you put a message on particularly at the beginning if you could say where you are

from which country you're from I've got a lot here already but if you could just

do that that would be a great help because it's

it's nice to know where everybody is watching from and it gives us we can

picture where you are around the world in fact we might get or a big world map

oh that might be good idea mr. Duncan if we get a big world map when we stick

pins in it yes I'm gonna try and sort something out maybe not a real thing

maybe something virtual on verge of the internet or maybe I can I can construct

something well I'm in the kitchen and it's not looking very tidy no well we

did have a bit of a rush tonight didn't we we had a bit of a rush tonight we did

and so I actually prepared a little meal for us mr. Duncan who's eating habits we

discuss virtually on every livestream mr. Duncan's eating habits are well they

leave a lot to be desired I'll leave a lot to be desired which means they're

not as good as they should be and mr. Duncan to have nothing to eat

he often does this omelette on a day when he's doing a live stream he has

nothing to eat and he have a little bit a little bit of cereal this morning and

they said Oh mr. Duncan I don't feel like doing the live streamed and I said

I don't feel very well and I said well when did you last have something to eat

and he said nine o'clock this morning so no wonder he wasn't feeling very well

so I made him some beans on toast I was I was a little bit fatigued I made you

some beans on toast and here's the evidence yes that's that's what's a left

there's the empty bean can we have such a glamorous life a glamorous life this

is what we have to do on a livestream day we haven't got time to eat properly

so it's just beans on toast wait because a lot of people think if you have a lot

of viewers or subscribers on YouTube everyone assumes that you must be like a

millionaire and you live this extravagant wealthy lifestyle well of

course we reveal that we couldn't afford to buy

a hundred foot yacht now with the video clip on Sunday nope

but all we can afford is about a five foot rusty old thing that we fit that's

about anyway that was a bit of fun wasn't it mr. Duncan we haven't

certainly haven't got anybody who's looking after us cooking our meals and

making sure putting our makeup on and relaxing this before a live stream so so

an hour before we started we were sitting at the dining table and we were

eating beans on toast that's it that's the hedonistic lifestyle that we lead I

would hardly I would hardly call it hedonistic yes hedonistic that's the the

the lifestyle of YouTube stars if only we were I don't know we don't want to be

that we just want to you just love teaching English to everybody around the

world and that's what we're doing and we're going to look inside the fridge

for some bizarre reason mr. Duncan well we're not looking inside just any old

fridge this is our fridge and I decided to do this tonight because I've noticed

over the past few weeks that we have a lot of stuff in the fridge that we don't

eat anymore and and some of the stuff in there some of the food in there has

actually gone mouldy it's actually gone bad deep food no wonder we're not

feeling very well if we're eating moldy food yes well that's my concern we

haven't got time to even throw out the old food we've got to all our time is

devoted solely to these live streams every week twice a week something to do

with being it's nothing to do with being poor no it's just wait laziness really

how often do you actually clean in fact how often do you clean your fridge out

not very often in fact we had to defrost the freezer last weekend because

we couldn't get the drawers out anymore has anybody experienced that where you

have to defrost your freezer but you keep leaving it and leaving it because

it's a sort of a day-long job isn't it to defrost a freezer it is you have to

take everything out you have to either wait till the stocks have gone low or

you have to put it in a bag and then you have to put top water bowls inside oh it

was but now at least we can get into the roof into the deep freeze without

breaking the drawers fact I had to I had to smash it open didn't I mr. Duncan

because the there was ice blocking one of the drawers we couldn't get into the

top one that's it yeah well that was the the deep freeze that was the deep freeze

we're talking about the refrigerator yeah

which should always be kept between two and eight degrees yes by the way but at

the moment it's full of rubbish and Palin crap do you want me to have a look

inside let's have a look now this is something we haven't rehearsed so

everything you see now is real it's a hundred percent reality you're watching

here this is all the stinky horrible disgusting stuff that we have in our

fridge so please Steve be the most found here as well lying around on on one of

the work surfaces it's a banana that I that I at about four hours ago a banana

skin good and but anyway I'm gonna go in the fridge and whatever we see we shall

see mr. Steve yes Steve I'm back open the fridge door are you gonna give me a

countdown no there we go was it very stressful for me because I

don't like to leave the fridge door open shall we have shut shall we have a round

of applause for the fridge

right we're just diving in can you hear me no

right so we've got oh look what I picked up first mr. Duncan oh this is what is

contributing towards your ever expanding waistline I know what you're doing here

you're trying to shame me this is the the mayonnaise which has the shape that

you're rapidly turning into not to see how much mayonnaise mr. Duncan puts on

virtually everything he eats well why did you pick that first because because

it was there look what's left here mr. Duncan guess what this is small this oh

if I can get the lid off this is the remains of your birthday cake oh look

it's it's what's left of my birthday cake from Sunday we've eaten about three

quarters of it and we still got the rest to eat look there's a candle oh we can

save that for next year it's probably full of preservatives so we probably

could we didn't have a piece today we were going to have a piece with a cup of

tea outside but it was raining yeah I had a piece yesterday but it gave me it

gave me indigestion look what I found here mister don't oh I didn't

here we go right here is some cheese oh no what does that look like mr. Duncan

that does not look good do you think we could still eat that nope so those moldy

cheese that's the sort of thing I was talking about just now with all the

rubbish that we have all the stinky horrible rubbish I'm going to put that

straight in the bin yes in a moment there we go let's have

another look well we've got look at this this is posh we've got some marjorine

because it Margaery it's Bert only spread so this is like butter to

put on your bread but it's a it's a it's made of olive oil and with a name like

that it must come all the way from Italy you would think wouldn't you so I don't

who makes that there we go some scrapings out of there cuz mr. Duncan

likes a lot of butter this isn't butter this is a kind of

marjorine but mr. so it's made of vegetable oil as

opposed to butter which is made of animal fat okay although usually we do

eat butter so show us something healthy ah how about this then this is your

spread this is your equivalent of butter now this is one of these modern types of

butter the spreads that are supposed to lower your cholesterol levels and so

you've been taking that supposedly to improve your health but of course it

doesn't go down very fast I noticed that the butter goes down a lot faster than

this health spread yeah apparently that's supposed to lower your

cholesterol there is something that I make curries with ooh on a Friday night

this is tikka masala sauce so I will make a curry with that and I'm gonna

give it a sniff because I like this smell those spices mr. Duncan oh I can't

wait for Friday okay calm down let's have a look it could show us something

else it's really stinky and old

there must be there must be something right at the back that's been in there a

long time what is it it's a red onion chutni oh I remember that your sister

bought that for us oh so that's been in there since Christmas yes so do you

think we should take that out I think we can leave that in there for a few

moments I knew it says here best before December 2020

oh okay in that case we can keep it I'll put it back in I think a thing that

might refer to it unopened what Stevens's come on Steve here's something

healthy some strawberries ah finally finally some healthy strawberries I had

some of those tonight of course mr. Duncan didn't always wash you fruit

before you eat it I'm obsessed with that aren't I mr.

Duncan you certainly are washing my fruit because you don't know who's

handled it what insects have been crawling over there and any way they

spray them with insecticides so you need to wash that off as well so I I'm

obsessed with washing all my fruit mind you having said that I do far

unhealthier things than that yes do you know what I think Steve

what's that mr. Duncan I think you are paranoid I am a little paranoid here are

some protein packed bars which shouldn't even be in the fridge at all why did you

put them in there I don't know why they're in there I must have done that

by mistake nothing that's old age look mr. Duncan that fridge door has been

open for about four minutes that's the worst thing you can do Oh calm down

because it'll take a long time to get back down to its optimal temperature

just fine you can test with these things now you are right here some milk and moo

milk I'm sure everyone has milk in this everyone has know

your cars have got Ribena oh yeah a lot of people ask you know they ask mr.

Duncan what's that red stuff you keep drinking huh and so now you know it's

Ribena which is a blackcurrant drink which mr. Duncan loves very much

Hannah's always drunk it ever since I've known it

did you know Steve Steve what's that mr. Duncan did you know that the company

that makes Ribena is now owned by a Japanese company really did you know

that I do now yes right we've got some tomato sauce and some salad cream I

don't know why we keep them in the fridge because they don't need to be

kept in the fridge but it does say deep Steve Steve we've got here guess what

this is mr. Duncan boys did you know what it is are you ignoring me now I

can't hear you well I'm talking to you what did you say

repeat a silver play I'll come in there in a minute and I will slam your head in

a silver play I will slam your head in that fridge door he would as well not

for the first time today so Steve what have you got in your hand it's a sweet

potato oh okay that's the most exotic thing we've got in our fridge Wow I also

have some oranges okay which I keep in the fridge because they

keep much longer in the fridge as to apples

although some fruit you should never put in a fridge and that's including bananas

apparently they they go off quicker if you put bananas in the fridge but not

oranges or apples that's very interesting because there are lots of

things there are lots of things that you shouldn't put in the fridge including

bread yes apparently bread doesn't keep very well in the fridge Oh

though I don't understand that because I always used to keep it in the fridge we

did didn't we yes IIIi think it was alright I don't think I think you can

keep bread in the fridge but bananas apparently you shouldn't put bananas in

a fridge I don't know why we're giving it but were supposed to be teaching

English I don't know why do we think we can give advice on what to keep in your

fridge and what not it's all it's all part of life it's all a part of life

we're just talking about things yes well you're answering your own questions

we hang anything on the live stream yes someone said you should shut the door I

know I will shut the door I'm gonna do it now posting eggs eggs of course yes I

broke one the other day I broke an egg the other day you broke an egg I was

trying to make some poached eggs for mr. Steve and I I tried to crack the egg but

it slipped at my hand and it fell so now you tell me I was very angry

I took some I said some very naughty swear words Steve profanities

profanities yes I wasn't here around to listen to that yes so that's it so I'm

not sure if that was a success but maybe maybe in a year from now maybe a year's

time from from this date we will do what's in the fridge again and maybe

maybe those pieces of cheese will still be in there twelve months from now now

I've put them on the side they're going straight in the bin haven't we got some

other cheese we have if you want to see that mister don't go just to show you

what we normally have this this is the most amazing cheese in the world here we

go here's some cheese extra mature cheddar so what are you doing there were

your fingers nothing are you covering up the label well we don't want to

advertise but is it isn't this pretty chaals extra

mature cheddar use cheddar cheese of course is probably the most popular

cheese I would say in the UK certainly in England yes I was trying to ask you

then it is that the cheese that is made by Prince Charles yes I think he

personally makes it yes because it's his because not a lot of people know that

outside the UK that Prince Charles the Queen of England's son actually has a food

company that makes food company yes organic food and this cheese has been

made by Prince Charles himself yes yeah I think he milks I think he milks the

cows he milks the cows in the morning he takes the bucket of milk and then he

goes along to where the milk is sort of fermented to make the cheese and then he

gets into this big bathtub and he steps on all the all the curd to make the the

actual cheese and that's how it gets that special extra special strong cheese

smell because it's actually the stinky feet of Prince Charles I've known that I

would never have bought it mister don't good it is it's a cheddar if people

don't know each other is it hard cheese yes it's not a soft

cheese that's it like a lot of cheeses are particularly in France and are they

on the continent as we say which but when we say on the continent we mean

Europe they have a lot of soft cheeses but we have mainly hard cheeses so you

know you could hit someone over the head with that and cause an injury but

talking of Prince Charles again there are people who are very lucky because

sometimes you might get a block of cheese and it has one of Prince

Charles's toenails in it oh you've just been silly now mister

if you're very lucky and apparently people are selling them on eBay it goes

very nicely in means that it's a very strong cheese very strong strong and

it's very nice if you add it to beans we like strong cheese we always like to

melt cheese into our beans mm-hmm and I also like to add some mixed herbs as

well you know what Steve one night we should do this live we should go into

the kitchen and we should actually make some beans on toast live how exciting

mr. Duncan I think I think people would like that okay let's have a quick vote

who would like to see mr. Steve and myself making baked beans on toast in

the kitchen maybe we could do it next Wednesday thankfully nobody so anyone

who wants to see a live cooking section where we are making beans on toast I

think it will be amazing I think it will be almost as exciting almost as exciting

as looking inside our fridge we may be losing viewers if we're not careful mr.

Duncan know there's lots of people on now everyone once every one wants to see

you make some beans on toast do they yes we've got some votes here

yes but you see I also like my beans on toast with spiced up a bit yes you like

I like to put some curry powder yes you put curry in your beans curry either

like it with cheese and some mixed herbs or with curry powder hmm curried beans

I'll tell you if you make your own curried beans it's a lot cheaper than

buying because if you buy it current beans they're a lot more

expensive than the normal beans but all you have to do is buy some curry powder

and just add a teaspoon into that and it costs you pence or virtually nothing so

I might make my own curried beans as probably do a lot of people

hmmm I think so oh this is fascinating mr. Duncan it's good no no I've enjoyed

this would you like to come into the studio I would okay they're just behind

my register with me if anybody wants me to mark them off on the register please

let me know and I will mark you off live to billions of people who are watching

us right now I'm not sure if it's billions

I think it's billions mr. doe I usually say millions but I act i think it's

billions thank you so Steve will come back in but first of all can I can I

just say that we we have had a lot of people saying that they would like to

see us make beans on toast next Wednesday well if this is what the

people want this is what the people will have hmm so someone is just asking on

the live chat poached egg well poached egg is egg that cooked

outside the shell so you cook the the egg but not in the shell you cook it

outside you steam the egg or you boil it in water but outside the shell so you

take the shell off first right Steve is coming back in and sometimes make a cook

a poached egg and then put it on top of the beans and that on beans on toast we

put in a poached egg on top we can do that as well at the same time we could

well maybe you could have a poached egg on toast and I could have beans on toast

no we've got to have the beans on toast with the egg on top okay we've got to

have the full monty as they save it that everything the whole experience the full

monty monty yes everything wasn't that a movie with naked men I think it was yes

but there are as we well know different explanations are different meanings to

different words and in sex crawling all over the windows here

there's moths but they're attracted to the light this big I've got a big light

in front of me so that obviously I look at my best for the viewers but it's

attracting moths but we need the light you stay on the country Steve Steve we

need the light because if you didn't have the light we wouldn't be able to

see you it's very useful and I'd look 10 years older okay mister I'm coming back

in wait there when they don't they'll go yes I wonder I want to make it look

professional oh yes always professional to me mr. Steve thank you very much and

he's now going to come back in the studio

the dead today it is a Wednesday night 10 minutes past 11:00 wow we're already

I must admit I think tonight's live stream has gone by very quickly I'm just

bringing mr. Steve over slightly come on come closer he always seems so shy when

it comes into the studio it's mr. Steve everyone will hello again mr. Steve I've

shut the fridge door I can't remember did I shut the fridge door mr. Duncan I

think it's your age I've noticed recently you've become very forgetful

pardon you've become very forgetful and death is well not forgetful I'm not

forgetful the tour I remember everything my memory is pin sharp so why did you

put those peanut bars in the fridge they don't belong there I was in a rush when

I came back and I mean some people like chocolate at refrigerator temperature

don't they yes that's my excuse is still very unusual and I'm sticking to it okay

then so yes before we carry on here are some interesting words and expressions

and I thought this is a good one because I was asked about this a few weeks ago

and I forgot to answer the question so here is a word that we often use in

English and it's one that can have more than one meaning will you say Steve put

off yes so first of all put off if you put off something you postpone it or you

cancel it so you put off something to a later date so you might put off a show

so maybe you put it off and then you do it on another day or you hold or you you

perform on another day so you put off something quite often

certainly at this time of year when lots of places around the villages where we

live they have little celebrations or faiths or little parties and now and

again when the weather turns bad it has recently we've had a lot of rain

over the past few days they might put off the party so they put off the party

they put it off or postponed yes you should use that as well so they put it

off to another day they put it off to another time so it will happen but not

on the date it should have okay you could have a meeting at work couldn't

you and that may be rearranged or put off yes until a later date because maybe

there weren't enough people there in the office at the time or or something else

happened that was more important and you you say well let's put that off until

another days or another time yes also put off can mean to to repulse someone

or to make a person feel repulsed by something you've put someone off maybe

you talk about something horrible or disgusting while someone is eating and

they might say oh do you have to talk about that you what you are putting me

off my supper you are putting me off my food you are mating making me not want

to eat because of the disgusting thing you are talking about we had somebody

when we were showing the spiders yes a few weeks ago we had quite a few

comments from people saying oh do you have to show those spiders it's putting

us off our food or putting us off the live stream yes

meaning that they don't feel inclined to do it anymore so that's it so you can

put someone off maybe also you want to discourage someone from doing something

so you try to put them off so to put off someone can also mean to discourage

someone a friend is coming around today to see us but we don't want them to come

around today so I will try to put them off I will try to put them off I want to

discourage them from coming today and then maybe they can come on another day

so you put someone off you discourage someone from

doing something and you might you might make up a white lie to put them off you

might say well I'm not feeling very well today can you can you can you come next

week and you are feeling alright you just don't want them to come on that day

that's it till you put them off white lie there's another yes well oppression

well a white lies is a lie that it really isn't harmful it's not a harmful

lie yeah you are saying something that's not true but it's harmless

it is a white lie although some people believe that white lies are just as bad

as the dark lies or they could be it could be it could be an untruth but

sometimes it's it's better sometimes to tell a little fib a little untruth fib

sometimes like that for example if you didn't feel very well and or you didn't

want your friend to come around you could might just make up a little white

lie and say oh I've got to go out and see the neighbor I've got to do some

some job around the house can you come next week you don't really have anything

to do but you just don't want them to call on that particular day so it's a

bit of all you are going to see them you're just putting them off and you

tell a little white lie Yukie another one here's another one I

was asked about because we were talking about light the other week when I was

using my little spotlight to shine on mr. Steve's face and someone asked shed

light on something you don't remember that I don't you don't remember when I

do yes I do yes oh yeah haha I do I know what you're trying to do you're trying

to make aunt I'm forgetful well you just said you didn't remember ah but I did

really I was just joking okay then so really you you're not yet so you're not

you're not actually going see no you just you just a pathological liar I'm

senile I didn't what are you talking about I've got all my faculties mr.

Duncan so they we've got all our faculties

means mentally we're sharp and as we were when we were young except mr. Steve

shared its living with you shed light on some things so if you shed light on

something it means you it means that you you explain something yes about

something that's it you explain something you make something very clear

or something very obvious you make it clear to maybe one person or maybe a

group of people you shed light on something you reveal something maybe or

you show the meaning of something so you shed light on something so you should

light on a subject so maybe something a person is unaware of so you explain it

to them you will shed light on that subject you will allow them to

understand it I could say mr. Duncan what's happening in in tonight's

livestream yes and mr. Duncan might say oh you know it'll just happen and I

might say too well will you just shed a little light on

that yes you know to give me some idea of what's going on shed some light on on

that so shed light on something means to explain or to show what something is or

reveal the inference being that it was all a bit dark and you couldn't really

see anything yes cheddy you put in some light on oh it's all clear

so somebody explains what's happening and suddenly it's clear to you well

there is the opposite of course in that and that's being in the dark so you can

be in the dark about something as well and that means you don't know so it's

kind of the opposite so you shed light on something if you are in the dark so

both of those expressions are used quite often in English yeah so mr. Steve what

was what was in your hand just you you CN you've seemed very eager to show me

something no oh okay then you were waving this around all over the place

with a register yes but so we've got lots of new people so we think we have

around 300 people now on my lists on mr. Steeves register and I can't believe how

much time you spend two hours and hours it's incredible well I said yes I spent

about an hour tonight because when it when the livestream starts I've got this

printed off ready and I'm ticking going through here ticking off peoples and

names tick and it's actually because the live stream is very busy it I'm

frantically oh there's another name of the new the names are popping up all

over the place or left right and center you often

that's an expression we use a lot isn't it oh it's the names popped up left

right and center it means they're coming from if something's coming from all

directions you say oh they were coming from all over the place from left right

and center yeah something that's hard to control or deal with so maybe lots of

things are occurring at the same time we can say they're coming from left right

and center left right and center I haven't seen the live chat tick I've

been here mr. Duncan over half an hour okay 40 minutes in fact and I haven't

seen the live stream at all well but since we caught you you can't see the

live stream because we're in it I meant the the live chat always see oh yeah

maybe I am going a bit seen on this thing I think you might be that's it

the end is coming mr. Steve is losing his marbles losing his marbles yes

that's another expression it is to say that you are mentally not as astute well

as you used to be yes it means you're going senile it means you're going a bit

yes forgetful your brain is starting to dissolve in your skill you often say

about old people that they're losing their marbles yeah that's it is an

expression we use it here in the UK it comes to all of us MARAC ek now that's

an interesting name Iraq because there was a car

a Maserati was my favorite car when I was growing up called a Maserati Merak

so that obvious I think that must mean something Barack must mean something

because to name a car the RAC it that obviously must mean something so maybe

you can tell us what your name means miracle i'll you're on i'm going to take

you off the list because you are on here i've seen you

before my racket l there we go i've just ticked you off on my list manual fan

tony says hi mr. Duncan hi mr. Steve nice to meet you as a surprise when I go

to bed and I opened YouTube to facilitate my sleep manual are you

saying that we are sending you to sleep Manuela's but is YouTube on because he

wants to go to sleep and we've popped up marbles says Shirin exactly Sergio says

this is a Russian joke oh ok Putin goes to kitchen at night when the fridge

suddenly shivers because of starting engine Putin calm down don't panic there

is nothing to worry about I just want to have my yogurt yeah don't get that

Sergio don't understand that joke I'm sure it's very funny I hope we're not

offending any Russians yet by reading that out yes well you read it out I

didn't well I quite admire pew ting wrong it's it's a shame you don't

pronounce his name right ok Putin then if you're gonna admire someone at least

get the name right nobody messes with Putin ok then do you need a strong

leader alright I don't know where this is going

but I don't either I don't know where we're going with this

because you've got a Russian watch you see but we're trying to you know and

Gracie ourselves well you can see eight if you

ingratiate yourself ingratiate yourself with somebody it means that you you're

very nice to them you you're fawning over them your money

we want people to eat we want people to watch yes MARAC is from Turkey sorry I'm

just going back to the okay let me find the right button there we go

thanks Steve apparently Steve is now producing this program well Meraki is

thinks that MARAC means something like satisfaction will baby muratcan tell us

as he is Turkish and has he heard of a a Maserati which is an Italian sports car

well on the road and there at Muroc means something like satisfaction well

that's what Pete had says yes is that what it does mean to be happy or

satisfied - no to be happy I always wanted this

this car this Maserati Merak my favorite car so you tell us every week it had

flying buttresses really flying buttresses okay look it up I don't want

to know about your car goodness sake I don't know I don't want to know about

your buttress Nicole's going to sleep we're sending Nicole to sleep as well

he's sending me to sleep I'll be honest it is harpist eleven though yes Alice

our WL ingratiate means to butter up yes Alice to butter up to you you try to get

favor from someone you ingratiate yes you decide to get favor it's a good word

actually I like that word will you suck up to that's another phrase you you suck

up to somebody it's it's not a particularly positive phrase because it

means that you're you're doing anything to please that person and you don't

necessarily want to do it Svetlana asks is is it not topped on the beach it

wasn't hot last week when we were there it was very windy though and there were

quite a few people there but it wasn't too hot but it was incredibly windy I

can't believe I couldn't believe at the time how how windy it was

oh sure Ian sure Ian says flying buttresses I suppose now Steve now now

it's out we should explain what what on earth are flying buttresses right okay

what is a flying buttress flying but I'm gonna have to draw it because I can't

possibly describe how dear we're all in we're all in trouble now there we go

that's it oh boy while Steve is drawing Belarusian

says my one of my childhood fears was sleeping alone ah yes

do you know what that was one of mine as well I used to hate I used to hate it

when when my parents closed the bedroom door and switched the light off I always

felt very very scared in the dark I used to

hate it so much in fact what I used to do when I was a child I used to open the

curtains so the street lights outside would shine into my bedroom and light my

room up so I used to love that but the only problem is way back in the 1970s

they used to switch the street lights off they don't do it anymore but the

street lights all of the lights in the streets would go off it around about

midnight or 1 o'clock in the morning so I used to hate it I used to hate the

fact that the street lights would go off because that was my last little bit of

light so I oh I would always try to get to sleep before the street lights went

off and it became it became an obsession I don't think I've ever told anyone this

before but it was actually an obsession every night I would get so anxious so

upset that I couldn't get to sleep before the street lights went off I used

to hate it I used to get very very nervous so let's have a look oh yes my

t-shirt is not a birthday present it isn't a birthday present I've had this

for about two years

Barzan asks what's the difference between truck and lorry well they are

kind of the same thing I just yeah just different words so truck lorry are the

same things the only difference of course is in American English they say

truck in British English we tend to say lorry so that is the main difference

although having said that we often say truck over here now as well so you might

hear someone say look at that truck it's going too fast or look at that lorry

it's going too fast but they are basically the same thing

Mrak said that that means I think he said one day

back back there mr. Duncan I think okay name means wonder so what a wonderful

name to have that's great and somebody wanted to know what our flying

buttresses like well I have I as you know I'm a wonderful artist mr. Duncan I

haven't had any evidence of that I'm actually crap

at drawing I'm not very good but let's here is an example right this is a

flying buttress you could have used you could have used it where's the camera

did you use this pen then they can see it oh right right that's a building okay

are you going I don't know where's the cam you're gonna fall over in a second

where has the building it's that thing with the big eye on the Forester Duncan

right so you've got it that's a that's a church with a big steeple come back come

back hey come back you're making me wait there I will I

will go in the middle I will do something very clever I'm

gonna zoom in I will zoom in none of my wrinkles

don't zoom in on my wrinkles they calm down Steve go on then zoom in this is

too exciting oh it's that one Oh aah Oh mr. Duncan

that's perfect right that'll do he's a building let's call it a church and it's

got a spire on top now the spire yes it has to be secure Steve can I put the

camera on first oh I didn't know the Capitol isn't that right okay display

here we go here's a building here's a building and it's got a spire a big a

big spire let's call it a church but with that plunked on top of the building

it makes it a bit unstable so they put these little things on the side here to

stabilize the the structure and they call them flying buttresses you see them

are lots of buildings lots of churches now the Maserati Merak okay

shouting just get closer to the camera shut up mr. Duncan

the Maserati Murata this is the sports car you have to show had these flying

buttresses on the back like that going from the roof of the car down to the

bonnet why because it was style and it looked nice and it probably made the car

stronger so there we go that's my explanation of flying

buttresses did it make the car go faster yes huh all these things make the car go

will you go revert back to the other camera mr. Duncan I'm aware that I'm far

too big much I quite like this I don't we should I'm gonna click back there we

go I'm just taking Steve Steve Oh what am I

done with ok you put that right now Steve I don't know what Steve's been

clicking on my encoder and now he's broken it so so what you gonna do now

Steve no idea reset all how about no don't press whatever you do please

please don't press reset all go on then go for the red the cross and there we go

oh I see now you know how to do it okay there dear MA there we go we're back to

our word back clapton all good job you know what you're doing mr. Duncan it's a

good job I know anyway I just thought everybody explaining what a flying

buttresses I know a flying buttress is just normally some sort of support that

support it exactly it is in mid air it's a support yes dear so why didn't you

explain it then well because I asked you to because you mentioned it you've had

all that time to think that up yes back to the live comments mr. Duncan's know

how I like to look at the live comments yes well maybe we could look at this for

a while

we can look at mr. Steve's face close-up horror it's hideous I'm hideous mr.

Duncan well you said it Iraq yes

what which I think means wonder how many times have you said Mrak tonight I just

that was my favorite car in the 1970s I always wanted a Maserati in Iraq and I

never got one took this have all now rusted away so are you telling me they

don't make Maseratis anymore they do but they don't make Maseratis don't make

sports cars in the sense that when they used to two-door that they make sort of

saloon cars now and they're not independently owned I think they're

owned by by an Italian I think that are owned by Fiat oh I see it doesn't have

the same ring does it it doesn't sound quite the same Fiat mind you I think

Ferraris owned by Fiat the Fiat Maserati hmm Oh Mika says I'm an artist there we

go Carrodus says a flying buttress is an

arc Bhutan or arc or buttress that's it is it supporting something you see them

often in churches going across the the ceiling or the roof you will see them

above you no that's that's something different mr. doom a flying buttress

there on the outside of the building yes yes okay and they're supporting the

structure that's nice still a star an architect well I watched a program the

other night and then there was someone going around a big stately home and they

were inside the building and they looked up and they say you can see the flying

buttresses are they were lying going across the cross the ceiling and they

were the main supports so I think I think you've so now I'm not an expert

and that was on the BBC I'm not an expert it was on the BBC buttress it was

on the BBC so it must be true I'm not an architect but all I know is that that's

what they look like I'm the Maserati murack someone asked all the tapes are the

cassettes on your shirt real no they're not this is a stylish t-shirt I've had

this for about two years I didn't have it for my birthday however I did have

this rather nice watch mr. Steve bought this shall i in fact we could do this on

the camera let me just arrange that let's just have a look

putting putting a hand in my face like that mister don't know I'm just I'm just

showing the watch where you want to zoom in on your watch do you know it's the

gilt lovely gift from you yes so wait a moment here it comes

so there it is there is the watch that mr. Steve bought for me isn't that isn't

that lovely all the way from a Far Eastern country when it's East to us the

company is Russian owned but the watch is made in Lithuania are people really

that interested mr. Duncan well I've been asked oh I see well there you go

I'm bankrupt now I've got no money left that watch cost me all my bonus from

last year there it is there's there's mr. Steve so I'm gonna give you a

Chinese burn and that's what we used to call it at school I'm gonna give you a

punch in the face

so there we go there I hope you enjoyed that so that's what mr. Steve do you

know you're being a bit of a show-off mr. Duncan I'm showing what you bought me because I

was asked on the live chat what I had for my birthday could you show is what

you had for your birthday and I'm showing it why are you so annoyed I'm

showing the gift that you gave me that none of that makes sense I really do

worry I think I'm sure you're losing your mind I really think that no you're

losing your mind mr. Dingle yes okay then phosphorescent yes because there's

Carrodus yes my still watch the watch glows in the dark

very clever carried Asif phosphorescent it's got a green glow

this particular watch has mm-hmm well it was maybe it was mr. Duncan that

wanted a watch but the story is is not quite as simple as that

I mentioned a few months ago in fact it was after Christmas I mentioned that I

saw this watch on television and I said to stevis a tall hat isn't that lovely

that watch and Steve remembered that I said that so he gave this to me on my

birthday last Sunday and it was many months ago that I said that I like this

watch this particular watch so that's what Steve does sometimes he's he's so

kind I I'm just wonderful English says yes

or should I say Clemson from Brazil do you say what what's the time or what

time is it you can say either you can say or either

yes you can say what's the time or what time is it or you can ask do you have

the time or could you do you have the time on you what time is it now hmm what

time is it yes you would probably what's the time if you would say that it more

sort of slight slightly more informal probably you can hold someone at

gunpoint and ask them to hand the watch over and

then you will know what time it is what time is it please you would say after

that after that you wouldn't just say what time is it

well after taking their watch what's the time please please please could you

please could you please tell me what time it is Mika says I still have many

cassette tapes that I used to record my favorite songs yes well people do people

still use cassettes to record things I've got lots and lots

of cassettes of many different types of recording some music some from my my

early radio shows from that the 1980s before I met Steve so yes they were they

were very useful form of recording media yes a

great form of recording peach at Pete Pete add whose name I'm struggling to

pronounce yeah Babu is is is saying that sometimes the

translation is probably different in different languages but satisfaction or

Wonder the car certainly was a wonder the Maserati Merak was a wondrous car

mm-hmm Oh

palmyra says she's got a watch know if literally is made it's not made in China

it is made in Lithuania yes we know that for a fact

yes it is it is not a joke it is real this this company is actually Russian

and they have teamed up with another company to make these watches in

Lithuania for the European market yes you look it up car mirror it's very it's

very complicated but it's true yes they're all handmade they only make

about five or six a day Bobby says it is now nearly quarter to 2:145 in the

morning in Turkey Mavi is up so late it is already tomorrow

in Turkey how is tomorrow is it good is it better than today I hope so Clemson

says that sort of name that she or he gives themselves English a vida hmm that

means English is life yes like vida loca living la vida loca yes

yes I wondered when you just bought that I did a long time ago I'm getting tired

mr. Duncan I know I can tell my energy is flagging I can always tell

well thanks Steve for letting us have a look around the fridge tonight I enjoyed

I enjoyed looking around the refrigerator so that's what you missed

earlier you missed mister Steve taking us through the refrigerator

who gave is a live tour so that's what you missed but don't worry you can watch

it all again later because we will be back on Sunday and you can watch the

live streams they are recorded on YouTube and they will also have

subtitles later on so for those who don't understand a single word mr. Steve

says you can actually watch the subtitles and then you will know what

he's going on about has anyone admired our kitchen cabinets

no probably because they're out of date well i reaiiy i refurbished those

kitchen cabinets refurbish refurbished i sanded them down and i revonnah shhhhht

them yes because they were looking tired and old they look they look fantastic

they look brand-new they look okay but but I think they are now out of date now

they're very old fashioned they are a bit but then we are so yes let's have

another look so you can see yes I think our kitchen is a little out of out of

fashion now it is a bit it is a little bit but that microwave looks dreadful

yes we we bought that microwave about 20 years ago it's like the cattle we've had

the same cattle for about 25 years yes we hope we've had the kettle no even

longer than that we've had the kettle for nearly 30 years

well we thought we'd broken it have we told this story about the cattle your

mum broke it isn't she yes we thought my well my mother came to stay we've had

this kettle we're quite attached to this kettle by the way if mr. Steve's mum is

watching she isn't hi my sister could be and then she could tell my mother but I

doubt it yes my mother likes a hot-water bottle when she goes to bed so when she

came to stay I put the kettle on but mother switched the kettle off now

mother mother it sound like Norman Bates which is the kettle off

that at the socket you're so like Norman Bates when you say mother mother I

didn't say it like that you know who Norman Bates is don't you

yes your honor about that psycho film aren't you anyway to cut a long story

short we thought we'd broken the fridge it was mom's fault because I switched it

on the next day and it was already on at the socket and there was no water in it

and it made a funny noise and all the lights went off her to blow the fuse and

so I thought it was broken we did get it going eventually so I looked up whether

we could buy a new one exactly the same and we couldn't because they were no

longer available being 25 years old but when I looked it up on Google there was

one in a museum yes our kettle is in a museum in Switzerland

a Swiss Museum actually has a kettle it's an example because it's made of its

it's a very unusual kettle made of green plastic and they obviously made it 25

years ago and I wanted to get an exact replacement for it and it wasn't

available of course but it's in a museum so it's probably worth an extreme amount

of money anyway it's working again now because all it needed was to cool down

again and there it is oh is it so this kettle is is almost 30 years old it's

from the 1980s yes I'm not joking so this kettle is very old it's made by a

company called Phillips they said it's that must be an

incredibly tough make of kettle because it's been going Oh since the 1980s since

the 1980s we've had this and it still works even though mr. Steve's mum tried

to break it it was an accident I'm not sure about that well you think

when the kettle is just now an inner museum this is in a museum you look up

that that's not joking Lips course inna yeah

and you will find it in a museum I think it's Switzerland exactly then there is a

Museum of plastic design yes it's a Museum of plastic design and one of the

museum pieces is this Capitol yeah exactly the same

color they made a pink one and an orange one

yes but the green one is in the museum the green ones in the museum welcome to

mr. Duncan and mr. Steve reminisce about our old kettle well I don't like you see

I hate some people if something's looking old even if it's still working

they'll chuck it out and buy something new hmm now I love I get a lot of

pleasure and satisfaction from you literally using things do they wear out

yes I think you've mentioned this before so that kettle will not be replaced

until it stops working that story is almost as old as this

kettle can you guess where this is made any any guesses we let's have a look at

the live chat I'm sure everyone is falling asleep can you guess how old

sorry not how old but where this was made well I'm what would it be made in

China 1980 this this shows the age because it wasn't made in China so

that's what's surprising about this so it actually income I'm not asking you to

guess Steve that's where things always used to be made before they were made in

China so lots of things during the 1970s and 1980s were made in Hong Kong but

that's when Hong Kong was still owned or run by the British you see and that's

been in the news recently yesterday Hong Kong was in the news because there are

lots of things going on there political things so where do you think this was

made the Netherlands that's a good guess I like then it says is it a Nordic

company yes I think they are based in the Netherlands myths and they still

this they're still going now Manuel says it's almost a pita piece of a modernism

yes maybe said it's older than she is yes it's older than most of our viewers

I think I know imagine how how many people do you know

my sister's got had about ten kettles in the time that we've had that one so this

very simple plastic wasn't even expensive at the time this very simple

plastic kettle is nearly 30 years old whoever designed that needs to get get

an award and the make yes the make is on the bottom and yes made in yes it just

say underneath where it's made you couldn't read that mr. Dean Oh Louie

Mendez is very clever well learned well done Louie yes this kettle was made

in Poland I think Louis I should say not Louie Lewis needs some applause for that

well then Lewis Lewis Lewis yes yes it was made in Poland way back in the 1980s

I think it was about 1989 we bought this it's one of the first things we ever

bought and it's still working perfectly despite mr. Steeves murmur and despite

mr. Steve turning it on with no water inside

he must have very good safety systems turned it on with no water in because my

mother see that's how you turn it on and of course it automatically switches off

like that but before it boiled my mother switched it off it at the socket so the

next morning it was still on so I switched it on because I was turn the

socket off at night so I thought I'd switched it off so I turned it on there

was nothing in the cattle the cattle came on made a funny noise blew the fuse

in the house and that fascinating story will be here forever I think we might be

the only people on the internet talking live to the world about a very old

kettle thing so I can yes nobody nobody anywhere has probably ever spoken

about this kettle and certainly at this particular moment in time they will

certainly not be talking about the Philips kettle yes it was made in 1988

or whenever it was made let's have a look man you're making me very sleepy

Manuel says you can make a new t-shirt with the drawing of that object I think

so this would make a great design on a t-shirt you could have this as a retro

vintage t-shirt showing the old kettle maybe maybe on something I go to bed

mister don't go we are going time we are going now because we've had such a lot

of interesting chat we went into the kitchen to have a look around the

refrigerator we looked at some phrases we looked at some words we looked at mr.

Steve's wrinkles very close-up we looked at my new watch and now we are looking

forward to going to sleep well I am yes so I will see you later Steve and we'll

say goodbye to the live chat goodbye to Manuel goodbye to Carrodus goodbye to

Tomas goodbye to English Aveda Clemson 1,500 watts

I think it's more than that I think it's two thousand two thousand watts

I'm guessing it's two thousand so it's it's not very steve steve has just steve

has just turned the kettle upside down and poured water all over my keyboard

because I'm tired oh you do realise that electricity and

water don't go together yes but that's not plugged in is it well

no but Steve if we suddenly disappear in a puff of

smoke yes well there'll be a puff of something in a minute then it'll be my

fault I must admit that was my I did just say Oh what what's them yes don't

do it again what's the wattage of this kettle oh my

god is that what is this what what we've actually sunk to now that's just it but

you've poured water all over my keyboard it's 2,000 watts by the way I really I

really do think that you have 13 amp fuse I think I think you need a 13 I

think you need a 13 amp fuses mine blew years ago goodness me anyway we'll see you
