Wake / Awake / Woke / Awoke - 'Rise and shine' - English Addict 237- 🚨LIVE CHAT🚨 - Sun 19th Feb 2023

Welcome to today's livestream.

I hope you are feeling well.

Mm. Oh, we are back together again.

I often ask myself, What is this?

Is this a radio show?

Is it a TV programme?

Or is it one of those podcasts?

I like to say that this is everything.

It is whatever you want it to be.

It might be your best friend.

It might be your worst enemy. Who knows?

I hope that what I'm doing here is helpful to you.

Hi, everybody. This is Mr. Duncan in England.

How are you today? Are you okay?

I hope so.

Are you feeling happy today?

I hope you are feeling good because I am back with you.

And yes, for those who are wondering, this is live.

2:04 o'clock on a Sunday.

I hope your sun is going as well as it possibly can.

I hope it is going pretty good.

Not too bad. Here.

We have a very busy day, a very busy livestream.

Also, next week is going to be busy.

There is an extra livestream next week.

Details about that to follow in a few moments.

So I hope you are having a good day.

My name is Mr.

Duncan and I am one of those.

I am an English addict.

I love the English language so much.

I like talking about it.

I like using it and also I like sharing my excitement

with you as well.

So I hope you're feeling good today.

Yes, we are now coming live from my little studio here in Much Wenlock,

and we are broadcasting to you as life

as life can be.

So that is the introduction out of the way.

And now it's time to do this

for the next 2 hours.

You have me

for a whole 2 hours, and I

hopefully have you as well for a whole 2 hours.

It's a beautiful day, by the way.

I can't begin my live stream without mentioning the weather.

We are having a lovely day. Mr.

Steve was just outside doing a little bit of gardening and he said

it feels as if spring has already arrived.

So there it is.

The view from my studio window.

Everything looking rather nice, the grass is looking green, the trees,

some of the trees are starting to come out,

but we are still a very long way from spring.

If I was honest with you, we still have a little way to go.

A few more weeks of this

and I suppose we could have cold weather.

We could even have snow.

But at the moment none of that

lovely sunny, mild weather apps lutely perfect.

Perfect for me because over the past week I've been busy.

Of course, I am still doing my new health regime

and I have to say

I have lost some weight.

I have lost just over half a stone in weight and I am so pleased.

So my stomach is now becoming a little slimmer,

not quite as fat and podgy

as it was a few weeks ago.

Yes, I know I did eat too much food over Christmas.

That is the big one.

So whenever you have a public holiday or a festival, you know what it's like.

It's very easy to start eating too much food.

And I was putting a little bit of weight on.

So I've decided and this is now my

my fifth week, five weeks now I've been doing this.

I'm I'm getting lots of exercise, taking lots of walks.

Also, I've changed my diet as well.

I have cut out most of the sugary food.

I'm having porridge every morning.

So I suppose you might say that I'm turning my life around.

We all have to do it.

We all have to do it.

No one is exempt.

No one is immune to sometimes

having to sit down and re-evaluate their life.

You have to look at what you are doing in your life.

Am I doing the right things?

Am I doing things that might cause me harm?

And I did that and I decided

that I was causing harm to myself.

So I'm now eating healthily

and I have to say I feel great and I know that I am losing weight,

so I feel quite happy about that.

We have a busy live stream today

talking about something we all do,

something we often do in the morning.

We often do that thing

in bed,

maybe alone or maybe with someone nearby.

Of course I am talking about

waking up in the morning

to become awake, to wake up,

to come out of that state of unconsciousness.

You wake up.

So that's what we are talking about today. We do have Mr.

Steve here telling us all about his special week because it was his birthday.

We had a nice time.

Even though there were some disasters.

We did have a couple of problems

on Steve's birthday.

Shall I give you more details?

Not at the moment.

We will see what Steve says later on.

Yes, Steve is another year old.

He feels okay.

He's now

he's still older than me.

But as I always say, I am catching Mr.

Steve up.

So every time Mr. Steve has a birthday

after that, of course I have a birthday,

so I have to wait now until August before I am in another year older.

We might have some people missing today.

I believe Claudia is is on holiday at the moment by the seaside.

Can I just say I am slightly

jealous of that, To be honest.

I really feel as if I need a holiday.

I don't know about you, but I have not had a holiday

since 2019

and I really need one.

We might be talking about that later on as well.

Yes, we have the live chat.

Hello, Live chat. It's nice to see you here.

Of course, it wouldn't be the live chat without you right here.

Who was first on today's live chat?

I went, Oh, very interesting.

Hello, Vitesse.

Congratulations. The champion is still at the top.

You are first on today's live chat.

Very good.

You see a very good thumbs up there from me.

Do you know what I haven't done for a long time?

I haven't done my fancy pants.

So I suppose I should say congratulations, Vitus.

And I would like to send you a very special fancy pants dance

right now.

That's enough. We can't have too much excitement.

We are only 12 minutes into the show.

I need to reserve some of my energy.

I might be getting healthier, I might be getting fitter.

But I still need to be careful because it isn't really making the younger.

That's. That's the real thing.

I want to change.

I want to be 20 years younger.

That would be ever so nice.

Hello. Also to rehab.

Rehab is here as well on the live chat.

Nice to see you here as well.

Rehab also we have Francesca Waheed is here as well.

Hello, Wahid, Nice to see you here.

Takhar is here as well.

We also have Rosa.

Regina Gomes. Hello to you.

Chime change my says hello, Mr.

Duncan. How are you doing? I'm okay, thank you very much.

I am getting pretty excited at the moment because spring is coming.

We are having the most glorious day here.

And of course the days are starting

to get longer with the light.

So our days or the daylight is now staying for much longer.

So the days are slowly getting brighter. And

I have to say I'm really looking forward to springtime.

I have to say

Valentine is here.

Hello, Valentine.

Beatrice as well. Hello, Beatrice.

Hello, Pedro. Nice to see you here as well.

Ooh, Dom is here, the old man in Bangkok.

Hello to you, Dom.

Nice to see you here as well.

Lots of people joining in.

I had a lovely message during the week from someone saying, Mr.

Duncan, I am a secret

admirer of you.

I'm always a bit worried

when someone starts their message with that because I never know what's coming next.

But can I can I just say thank you very much for your lovely comments

over the past couple of weeks about my livestreams.

I do appreciate it. I really do.

It always makes me happy.

Hello to h t who says Ni Hao from

Zhong wor, which is China of course.

Hello to h t watching in the People's Republic of China.

And please, please, can you please send one of those big balloons

to my house?

Because, well, to be honest with you,

I feel as if I didn't do enough on Mr.

Steve's birthday.

So if I could get one of those big Chinese balloons to come over my house

and maybe you could write a big message on the side of it, wishing Mr.

Steve a late happy birthday.

I would be so pleased about that. I really would.

Hello. Also to Alessandra.

Hello to Alessandra.

And hello to everyone on the live chat.

Yes, we have made it all the way to the end of another week.

And another weekend.

It is Sunday, everyone.

Mm hmm.

I'm just drinking some water.

Excuse me.

If you remember last week, I had a few problems with my throat.

It is much better.

Thank you very much for asking.

That's very kind of you.

English addict is here For those wondering what this is, it is a live stream

coming to you live right now.

So whatever happens over the next hour and 10 minutes

or should I say hour and 40 minutes,

because I am with you for 2 hours on Sunday. But

shall I tell you now what is happening?

Okay. I'm going to tell you what is happening next week.

On Tuesday, we will be with you with an extra livestream,

because on Tuesday it is Pancake Day.

Next Tuesday.

So I will be with you live.

On Tuesday, I will be in the kitchen

making some pancakes, live.

And Mr.

Steve will be joining us as well.

Of course, we will be making them together.

We will both be tossing pancakes.

You might even say you might even say that we are a couple

or we will be a couple of tosses on Tuesday.

We will be making some pancakes live

next Tuesday because it is pancake Day.

So I hope you will join us for that.

Something a little unusual.

We don't normally do livestreams on Tuesday, but because it is pancake day on Tuesday,

a lot of people will be celebrating that.

Can I say hello to Magdalena? Hello, Magdalena.

Nice to see you here as well.

Lots of people joining us on the live chat.

Rosa.

Now, Van Kumari is here as well.

Can I say hello to you again?

Thank you for rejoining.

I have noticed over the past few weeks we have a lot of new viewers

who are coming back again and again.

So I have a feeling that maybe, perhaps I am doing something right.

I hope so.

Steve will be here.

We are also talking about words and phrases.

Connect it to

being awake, waking up in the morning in your bed.

The first thing you do, What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?

I wonder

if you want to answer the question.

You can, but please keep it clean.

So over the past few days I have been

increasing my exercise.

This week I did around 30,000 steps.

Now I know what you're thinking, Mr. Duncan.

That does not sound like many steps, but to me it is.

It's a lot of exercise.

And because of that, I am slowly losing weight.

I feel so fit,

I have to say, and I really do feel good at the moment.

I can't remember the last time I felt so good if I was completely honest with you.

But these days I think a lot of people

have started using technology

to to measure

their health or to maintain their health

or maybe something that helps them

to to take care of their health.

What about you?

Do you use technology to stay fit?

Now, these days, there are things you can wear on your wrist.

This is not one of them, by the way.

This is an old watch that I've had since the mid 1990s.

So this watch is not a smartwatch,

but there are watches that you can buy nowadays

that you can look at and they will monitor your health.

So what about you?

Do you use technology to stay fit?

I know when I'm out and about, I do see a lot of people

walking around and they all have devices.

Some of them are strapped to that arm.

I've noticed that some people nowadays wear things on their leg as well

to monitor

their their steps

and their heart rate and even their blood pressure.

So what about you? Do you use anything?

I have to be honest with you, I do use an app in my phone.

I do use an app that measures the steps that I take.

So when I go for a walk, I can I can measure

the amount of steps that I've taken.

And I know what you're going to say.

You're you're going to say, Mr.

Duncan, those things are not completely accurate.

They they're not actually precise measurements,

but that doesn't matter because at least I get some idea.

I get a rough idea of how many steps I'm taking.

So what about you?

Do you use technology to stay fit?

Do you have something that helps?

You may be one of those little Fitbits that you have on your wrist.

Maybe you have a special app in your phone

or maybe something you carry around with you.

Maybe you have a fitness machine

at home, maybe something that you can run on.

So I know a lot of people these days.

Well, in fact, during lockdown,

a lot of people did become more conscious

of getting exercise because many people had to stay in their homes.

So I think it would be fair to say

that during the pandemic, during 2020

and quite likely 2021,

many people were starting to exercise at home.

So I think a lot of people did buy exercise

machines, things that they can use to train on, maybe something to help you run,

maybe something to help you maintain

your body strength, perhaps.

But yes, there are many ways

of of monitoring your health.

But I have to be honest, I don't go completely crazy over it.

So the only thing I ever use is the app

on my phone, which allows me to monitor

the number of steps that I'm taking because I think it's always a good idea

to have some sort of clue

or some sort of idea of how many steps you've done during the day.

So on average, I want

eventually to do

around 10,000 steps every day.

So that would be very nice.

And of course I am quite lucky because I live in the countryside

and there are many places for me to walk around in.

But I think.

Yes, rehab. Hello. Rehab.

Rehab says I use a health app on my phone.

And I know there are many people now who use these things and there are different types

of application that you can buy nowadays and use on your phone.

So all I'm interested in, to be honest, is, is knowing how many steps

I've taken during the day.

Hello, Inaki.

Oh, hello, Inaki.

Nice to see you here today.

Yes, he is with us in a few moments.

We do have Mr. Steve.

He will be with us in the studio telling us about his birthday.

We will also be taking a close look at a certain part of Mr.

Steve's body today.

What will we be looking at?

Which part of Mr. Steve's body are we going to look at?

And I wonder.

Paul Mehra says, I like to wear the watch

that counts my steps.

I think so.

I think these days a lot of people like to have a device on the wrist and whilst

they're walking the the device will show them

how many steps they are actually taking.

But I think it is a good thing to have and

I think it is a good thing to to take care of your health.

It is something that both myself and Mr.

Steve have realised because we are not getting younger, we are getting older

and some might say that we are at the

the dangerous stage of life

where if you don't take care of yourself,

maybe later on you will suffer all sorts of illnesses.

So yes, I am going to try my best to stay healthy for as long as possible,

Roser says.

No, I exercise without

the fitness machine.

I use dumbbells.

Of course, dumbbells are very useful.

They are weights that you can lift.

You can use your your muscles

and also the joints in your shoulders and your chest and your neck.

So dumbbells are very useful.

One thing I've never tried, I've never tried Pilates.

Has anyone done that?

The only thing I know about polarities

is that you bounce up and down on that giant ball.

But apparently there are other things that you do as well beside that.

But whenever I think of polarity, I always think of

of that big rubber ball

that that you bounce up and down on.

Some people go to the gym as well.

I tried that many years ago.

I did join a gym in Wolverhampton where we lived there,

but I didn't go very many times because I felt a little bit embarrassed.

You know, I'm a very shy person.

You might not believe it, but I am quite shy.

So going to the gym

and showing people my body

was not the sort of thing that I enjoyed doing.

I will be honest with you, I did not enjoy it.

So I do prefer to walk around.

Maybe outside, maybe across the countryside,

the fields, the meadows and the woods.

But no, I've never I've never done

anything in a gym for a long period of time.

I can't do it.

I'm sorry.

I'm too.

I'm too self-conscious. If I was honest with you.

Oh, Claudia is here.

Hello, Claudia.

Nice to see you here.

Have you arrived

All? Are you at the seaside now?

I know that you might be travelling by bus

on a certain day, but are you there now?

Please let us know where you are.

Very nice.

We are, of course, looking forward to meeting up.

If we have a chance to meet up, we would love to do it.

We haven't planned anything yet.

A lot of people have asked Mr.

Duncan what is going to happen about the reunion

or the meetup that we might be having in Paris?

Well, as far as I know, we still haven't arranged anything at the moment.

There is nothing arranged.

As I mentioned last week, there are a lot of strikes, a lot of industrial action

both here in the UK and also over in France.

So we will see what happens.

Magdalena says, I used to go to the gym

because of problems with my back, but I quit during the pandemic.

I think so.

I think I don't like it.

I just feel too self-conscious when I'm at the gym.

I just can't do it.

I don't like to think of people looking at me, staring at my body

whilst I'm doing things, Christina says.

I find fitness machines very useful in the gym,

but I prefer making or doing outdoor sports.

Yes, I think there is nothing better

than going out into the fresh air

if you can do it, if you can go outside your house

and walk around and enjoy the fresh air,

then I think that is always a good option.

I think so.

I think sometimes if you spend too much time indoors,

even if you go to the gym, I think it can be a little

unhealthy because you are breathing

in everyone else's air.

So I don't know, maybe, maybe in certain ways going to the gym is healthy for you and good for you,

but in other ways, maybe it isn't.

I wonder if Mr.

Steve has anything to say about that.

We will find out in a few moments because Steve will be with us.

He's going to join us in a few moments from now.

Don't go away.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo.

We haven't had any rain for quite a long time, actually.

I don't know why, but we haven't had much rainfall over the past few days.

Anyway, enough of that because coming up now,

as live is live can be, It's Mr.

Steve.

He is on his way now.

Here he comes.

Mr. Steve, we

are on our life in the studio and he is here.

He has made it.

He's been very busy in the garden.

Hello. Hello, everyone.

Wonderful viewers from across the world. Hello, Mr.

Duncan again, Even though, of course, I saw you first thing this morning. Yes.

When we woke up. Yes, I have been in the garden.

It's a beautiful spring like day.

I won't say it's a spring day because we're still in winter.

Definitely.

But it must be about 14 degrees outside. Wow.

It's probably about 80 degrees in your studio.

It's very hot in here, Mr. Duncan.

It's a light. It's always hot in here.

Yes, it's feels hot, but it was nice and cool and outside.

And people have been talking about exercise.

I noticed I was having a sneak

look at the live chat before I came on.

Well, what I was talking about, I mentioned the fact that I am

I've increased my health regime and I've lost weight.

Half a stone. Yes, of weight.

No longer part of my body,

My tummy is getting fatter and fatter.

And I talked about going to the gym as well because we tried it,

didn't we, for a while, but we gave up because we don't like it.

We just don't like going to the gym, being on show in front of all those other people in this.

Well, there's all those strange noises as well.

It wasn't so much that when the lifting things, they go, Oh,

some of them do, some of them do now.

It was just the inconvenience of it having to drive there.

It takes quite a lot of time out of your day

if you want to get fit,

then I don't necessarily think you have to do all those weights.

It depends what you want to do.

I mean, if you're trying to build your body up, yes.

Then unless you've got a home gym, then yeah, you can't build up muscles at home.

It's difficult. You need the proper equipment.

And I just say these days it is the biggest thing,

the biggest craze amongst young people now, and I know it myself.

It's just too much to tell you.

I haven't got I have to get to the talk.

Now. Let me just finish the sentence.

The biggest craze at the moment amongst young people,

bodybuilding, it's the big thing.

You might not, but yes, if you go onto Instagram,

there are lots of people now of all ages,

and they are they're building their they're doing the weights, they're lifting

big, heavy things above their heads

and they're building their muscles.

And I suppose in a way I did get a little bit of encouragement

from watching some of the health videos

on the Internet because it's great to see people transition

from from being overweight

and unhealthy to, I suppose, a more healthy weight.

So, so so it did give me a little bit of encouragement.

So everyone says that the Internet is a bad thing,

but actually it helped to encourage me

to start taking more care of my health and bodybuilding.

Apparently I won't be doing that by the way.

Well, young people always want to, you know,

build their bodies and look, look fit and healthy.

And of course, we like to look at pictures of young people

who have fit bodies because who wants to look at the picture of an old person?

Nobody.

So, yes, send me the pictures.

You have to tell me where to look at.

Look at these lovely, gorgeous hunks online.

Mr. Duncan, People have been talking about their various

exercise experiences.

And you were talking about monitoring your steps. Yes.

Using while you use your phone, don't you?

Because most sort of smartphones, you can do that.

You don't have to have one of these watches.

Not so they do.

All they actually do is connect to your phone anyway.

So it's basically the same app.

It's just connecting so you can look at your watch

and see what you're doing as you're going along.

I don't think the thing is, so you can over monitor this.

I mean, Inaki says that I don't,

that they don't find it useful to have one of these.

I mean

when I used to do exercise when I was younger, it was never about the number of steps.

It was the amount of time or the distance that you went.

So I you can't get a bit obsessed with the,

with the number of steps.

Whereas if you just go out for half an hour's exercise,

you can enjoy it knowing that you will probably you will do enough steps

without have to necessarily constantly be monitoring how many steps you're doing.

Well, all I all I want to do is have an idea

how many steps I'm walking

so I can take that particular route again and again.

I know they're not 100%, but at least you have a sort of idea,

a rough idea of how many steps you're doing.

And I think it's working it.

There's no doubt about it.

It's definitely working. I'm losing weight.

Catarina says, Yes, you can go for walks,

you can go for walks, or you can get some some sort of home equipment, some basic things,

because you can use your body weight to get fit in a lot of respect.

So press ups, you think,

yeah, you can use your own body weight to tone yourself up,

going for walks, obviously for the aerobic side of it and then press ups is good.

Obviously if your arms and your chest and your back you can do

sit ups using the weight of your body to flatten your stomach.

You can do squats for you, for your legs.

There's an awful lot you can do at home.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of them, a lot of exercises you can take without having to use equipment,

having to spend big money on on going to the gym. Yes.

Well, you have a few weights.

Well, the only the only thing I have. Yes.

Just just for your arms and your upper body.

Yes. It's difficult to you need dumbbells for you, you pecs.

It's no impact.

Sorry.

You're these muscles, triceps, biceps

for your biceps.

You need something, some weight for that.

It's difficult to unless you've got a bar and you're going to lift yourself up on a bar somewhere. Yes.

Then yes, you can do that.

But I haven't got a bar, so I just use dumbbells for my biceps.

I think a lot of I think a lot of people I think a lot of people

like to lean

on the bar, if you get my meaning.

Yes. You know, when they're drinking the beer and things like that.

But to h t in China, h t in China.

Hello. H t

says that we in China

we do a lot of meditation, which is good for your health.

And of course you have to consider not just your physical, but your mental

health, don't you, when it comes to you.

Yeah, this isn't just about your physical, it's about your mental.

It's keeping stress levels down.

So a lot of people are now I've mentioned this before,

I do do meditation have done it most of my life.

And it does help, really does help

to calm everything down.

They but you have to do it regularly.

Otherwise it otherwise you get into it.

You get out of the good habits of doing it and then you soon regress.

Well, as I've said before, healthy body,

healthy mind, it's an expression that we often use in English.

And I think it is

true.

And another thing that a lot of people forget about is sleep.

Sleep is a great part of your your health regime.

So making sure that you do get plenty of sleep.

I must admit, since I've started doing more exercise

and taking more care of my general health, I sleep

amazingly well.

It's incredible.

I just go to sleep and I'll have a refreshing

night's sleep.

That's good, Mr. Dan Good.

Now, of course, gardening is very good exercise, isn't it?

Magdalena has ordered 700

litres of soil, which sounds like an awful lot of soil.

It's good exercise, though, if you're if you're moving the.

If you're doing gardening.

I think gardening is a very good type of exercise as well.

Those black plastic bags contain about 20 litres.

So that's about 30. That how it's coming?

It's probably coming in a big amount.

But the other bit that'll be a lot of bags are lots of bags of soil.

I need to get some.

So Mr.

Juncker because we need to, I need to grasp some area.

Okay that's it. Okay.

For last year.

But gardening of course is very, very good for all round fitness because you're

using all sorts of muscles.

You can get a bad back in the garden though, if you're not careful.

Well, this is one of the things about exercise.

If you start doing exercise after not doing any exercise

for a long time, what you find is you might damage or injury yourself.

So you have to do it carefully and steadily.

So you do have to be careful that you don't overdo it

and then you might make yourself worse if you do too much.

And as I always say, if you if you have any doubts about your health,

always make sure you check with your doctor

before you start any type of exercise.

It's always a very good piece of advice.

Yes. A suggestion of a book from Pedro The Godfather.

Yes, I might.

That would be a good book to read.

You have absolutely no intention of reading books?

Well, I do, actually.

I do want to to to start reading books.

I think it would be relaxing.

Failing that, I'll just watch the film.

But yeah, that's not the point, is it?

Well, you know what they did that, you know Marlon Brando

to make him look a little bit more mean.

They actually got got him to put pieces of tissue paper in his mouth like this.

Well, uh, well, interesting.

Mr. Duncan.

Yes, Pedro, Of course

you've come to the clinic to know

you come into my office and you show me no respect.

You show me no respect.

You don't get it.

Why do you disrespect a family what do you do?

You disrespect my family.

Oh, Fred,

I think, Fred, that he he

instructed that it is about

taking fishing.

And then you must make sure he is swimming with the fishes afterwards.

Have you finished, Mr.

Duncan?

As I was saying, Pedro, of course, knows all about bodybuilding.

And of course he's saying that sort of precepts are fairly basic.

Yes, they are.

But I don't want to

build up muscle.

I just want to stay fit. I want to keep my muscle fit.

But you are supposed to do a certain amount of weight

training because that stimulates certain hormones and keeps you young.

Yes, it's right hormone and it is your body.

And I know this seems obvious, but your body is incredibly complex.

It seems simple.

You just put things in here and then it comes out the other end.

But it's it's a bit more complicated than that.

You have to make sure that you are you are taking care of everything.

Use it or lose it.

Yes, that's the phrase.

Use it or lose it through the brain.

If you stop using a muscle, it will waste away.

If you don't use your brain, it will become lazy.

Yeah.

So if you want it. Yeah.

If you want to stay fit, it's quite you know, you've got to make a lot of effort.

That's the problem with it.

And that's why a lot of people don't bother. No.

Well it's, it's much easier to sit down in front of the television

and just eat cakes.

Yeah.

And just at some point you, you know, you look at some people and you just think,

I wonder when you just gave up

because you look at some people and you just think at some point

they must have just thought, Oh, I can't be bothered, I'm just going to eat,

drink, smoke, do whatever I like, and I'm not going to worry about it.

It must be quite nice, actually. I wonder what they actually do.

Yeah, it's lovely if you worry about it.

I'm sure some people just give up and then just

maybe they just don't feel guilty and they don't feel good about it.

The problem is they end up being unhealthy and then they have to go to a hospital

and then doctors and nurses have to keep them alive because of their bad habits.

So I think maybe in some ways it is

it is eventually in the future, you are going to pay the price for it.

But some people think, well, I just don't care.

I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well just enjoy myself

and drink, drink, smoke, take drugs,

do whatever I like because I'm going only going one way anyway.

So, you know, what are you staying alive for anyway?

As we said, as somebody pointed out, a well-known comedian.

Yes, you can you can live very, very healthily all your life

and you might extend your life by ten years, but they're the worst ten years because, you know,

you don't want to be saving time at the back end

unless you've got something that you're really keen to do and your still,

you know, for example, I want to live to 100 because Hayley's come it's coming back

exactly on my hundredth birthday.

So I want to be alive for that.

I don't know whether that's a worthwhile goal.

Anyway, talking of the body, the human body, we're going to have a look at Mr.

Steve Body, because you had your birthday last week.

It was a bit of a disaster.

I bought Mr.

Steve a gift, but Steve didn't like it, so I had to send it back.

I had to send the gift back.

It wasn't that I didn't like it.

He threw them at me.

He said, What?

What have you bought for me?

I can't use these.

I liked them. Yes. They just didn't fit. Yeah.

So I bought something for Mr.

Steve to wear on his feet when he's relaxing in the house.

But they were too small, so I had to send them back.

So I have to find something else now to buy, Mr.

Steve. We will see what happens.

But as I was saying, Steve is now another year older,

but it would appear that he's actually getting younger and we have proof because

of Mr.

Steve's nose.

We noticed that Steve

has a spot on his nose.

Would you like to see it? Look at that.

So normally teenagers get spots don't totally on their nose.

They do. Yes.

But Mr.

Steve has the pimple.

John said.

You see, I'm just like teenagers do.

That's it.

I've got teenage hormones coursing through my veins.

Mr. Duncan. It's incredible.

It must be because spring is in the air, I would say.

But that's enough of my pimple, Mr. Duncan.

I think it's fun.

I think it's fascinating.

Well, I haven't had a spot for a long time, so maybe it's.

Maybe it's.

I think it's because spring's on the way.

The hormones are starting to activate themselves.

You know, that's what happens, isn't it?

As spring comes, that's enough of my spot, Mr. Duncan.

So there it is out of the screen.

We will remember this forever and ever.

The time Mr.

Steve had a pimple on his nose.

The things I have to put up with what Mr.

Duncan shows to the rest of the world.

Private things that I'd rather keep to myself.

You should be flattered.

Well, I'll be flattered if.

If a teenager makes a pass at me.

But if not, then I won't be impressed.

Okay, well, you know.

Well, I feel that this, this, this section

might be used in evidence at some point.

Is it a rare skin disease?

Well, it could well be, yes. No, it's. It's just a spot.

It is a spot.

We call them zits.

A zit. Zit.

So when we say the word zit, we mean pimple or spot.

So that's what Mr.

Steve has at the moment on his face.

Mr. Steve has a pimple,

a little pimple on his news.

I took that photograph yesterday whilst

we were eating our scones.

Maybe. Yes.

As Rahim says, maybe I've got oily skin because that's sort of T-Zone, isn't it?

As they call it.

That's the oily zone, isn't it? Down the floor.

Head down down there.

That's your sort of oily zone.

So yes, maybe I need to

seal off.

Yeah.

Or maybe I need to exfoliate. Yes.

A lot of people do that nowadays.

They put something on their face too, to take away all of the top layer.

But my skin is normally very greasy.

So I do have greasy skin, which I think over time is actually better.

I think it's better to have greasy skin than very dry skin because I think dry skin,

but age is quicker, so I feel quite lucky.

So maybe that's one of the reasons why I don't look as if I'm a couple of years off 60.

And that's because I think my my oily skin is preserving me.

Well, maybe it's the lights in the studio.

Okay, well,

all right.

Steve is going to

want to start peeling that onion

tonight.

We're looking at a great subject, by the way, something that I don't like doing, something that Mr.

Steve does and something that I think you do

as well out there in YouTube land, waking up,

being awake, you wake up in the morning,

I wonder what the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up.

That's what we're looking at.

Lots of words and phrases and maybe some confusing words.

Hopefully we can explain them Today on the live chat.

Mr. Steve's plans for those who are wondering, Mr.

Steve's lovely plant is doing very well at the moment.

Would you like to see it?

You mean the Amaryllis?

The Amaryllis plant?

Yes. Yes.

It's looking fairly spectacular. Yes, here it is.

So. And

look at that.

It was ready for my birthday, wasn't it, Mr. Duncan?

The flowers were out. It was.

It was miraculous on Mr.

Steve's birthday that the flower opened out.

And there you can see it.

So it's an Amaryllis, This particular one is called a Red Lion.

Apparently, there are hundreds of types

of this particular plant, and it's called a Red Lion.

This one.

And I think it's because the flower looks like a lion's mane.

I think so.

And hip.

Bystrom it.

Bystrom Have you heard of that word that must be the Latin name for it.

I think that is the general genus of that particular type of plant.

So there are many types of this plant, but this one is amazing, I have to say, and it isn't often

that I'm impressed by anything, Steve, but

that I'm pretty impressed by this flower.

There it is.

So you can see now it's coming out and you've got the pollen

coming out as well.

And that thing at the bottom, I think, is that stigma,

statements and stigmas. Yes.

I can't remember which is which.

I think the stamens are the lady parts and the stigma is the male part,

which is the whole thing at the bottom, I think.

Have you seen it now it's pointing outwards.

Now that's that's that's the feet. That's the female.

Oh, okay then. So where's the male bit.

Well I think, I think they are those stamens aren't they, with all the pollen on pollen this seed isn't it.

You know, think of it like that.

Okay. I would, yes.

Um, yeah, it's pretty spectacular.

I'm going to go round after this live stream and.

And thank my neighbour

for giving it to us and show her the picture of it.

Because I did.

We, we swap plants or swap is the wrong word.

We give each other plants from our garden.

So I give her things from my garden

and I gave her a part of your giant Dunkin plant.

Oh, the one that gets to about eight foot tall.

And she likes unusual plants.

So I gave her a cutting from this, and it grew in our garden.

It had spectacular flowers.

And she's giving me this in return.

She's given me other things as well.

So if anyone and you want is a keen gardener, well, now when you start putting plants

in after a few years, they start to multiply themselves.

Then they and then you get too many of them and you have to do a bit of digging to thin them out a bit.

Yeah.

And I and you know, give them to neighbours because it might be nice for them to put them in their garden.

Yeah.

So, so it's, it's added a little bit of colour

to the kitchen so, so we are quite enjoying that.

Claudia is off to the seaside.

Yes I know.

And she's taking some

sun cream with her mum.

She's going to sunbathe, she says

I will take a sun bath.

Claudia says yes, I'm going to sunbathe is what we normally say, but that's fine.

I've bought a good sunscreen to protect my skin.

Now, I found out the other day, Mr.

Duncan, because we've got sunscreen.

I've had sunscreen for like five, six years in the drawer.

And apparently it loses its effectiveness after a year.

And you should throw it away and buy new sunscreen, apparently.

So I've been putting this on and it probably hasn't been working.

It probably stopped working years ago.

That's probably the reason why Mr. Steele is getting lots of.

That's it.

That's it. You see, you're destroying your skin.

Yeah, that's it.

So it's a yeah, change your sunscreen.

Apparently. I don't know how to that.

Maybe this is a rumour that's put out by the companies that make sunscreen,

but they normally have to make us buy new sunscreen every year.

They only have something on the side, Steve, that says use by.

So nobody there's something that says you must use it by

Yes because you can get the bacteria growing in it as well apparently.

But whether it stops working, I don't know because some of the ingredients are sort of white mineral.

So I can't see how that would stop working, too.

Yeah, Giovani has a question.

Back to the live chat. Oh, how was your day earlier?

I think it's time to check mine, which is stored for the winter.

Yes, ours is also stored away.

We will be planting it in a few weeks and hopefully it will come back to life.

And our beautiful Dahlia, with its gorgeous

red flowers will be back in bloom. Yes.

Thank you for asking, Giovanni.

Yes, I have it wrapped up.

It's being protected from the frost, the sort of bulb bit

Cuba.

I think they are the official, the sort of technical name

for for the root on a dahlia.

And yes, I will plant that out probably when there's no risk of frost,

which in the UK is really April.

You can still get frosts.

Yeah. Night frosts in March.

So I will plant it out in April.

Here we have, we can have snow sometimes in April.

I might I think.

I think in fact I think after we moved here we had lots

and lots of snow after we moved here way back in 2013 and we did have lots and lots of snow

and I think it can snow as late as April here in this country.

So even though it looks nice today, I think we still have a long way to go before

we can say that spring has arrived

when officially I suppose it's March, isn't it?

There was some kind of solstice or something. That's it.

That's when the clocks tend to change as well at the end of March. Yes.

So we'll have to wait until then.

So we have once the first was not far off, is it?

What do you mean.

We need at the end of February. It's quite scary.

I can't believe it. So yes. What March is here?

We're getting into spring.

It's getting exciting.

Mr. Duncan has lovely long days and we'll be able to do lots of things.

Maybe extra live streams.

Talking of which, don't forget, we are with you on Tuesday.

Next Tuesday, if you want to see a couple

of tosses, then myself and Mr.

Steve, we will be tossing our pancakes on Tuesday

live here on YouTube this Tuesday.

Mr. Duncan, isn't it? Yes, Yes.

Well, that's next.

The next Tuesday that we're having is next Tuesday.

Yes, that depends on how you say that, just because you went to that.

But yeah, in two days time.

So on Tuesday, Pancake Day, the 21st of February,

we will be live in the kitchen, make it to dates

because we will be there and we will be able to

make and hopefully enjoy some homemade pancakes.

Well, Mario Stroker reminds us

that it was a complete disaster when Mr.

Duncan tried to make pancakes the last time

is what to marry is is saying here was that last year,

the year before, I think wasn't that well, two years since we did it, it wasn't a disaster when we did it.

You did a great job.

I think it was probably yourself maybe last year then,

because I can't remember if I did it last year anyway, the important thing is

we are doing it this year on Tuesday from 2 p.m.

live in the kitchen, Mr. Steve and myself.

We will be tossing pancakes is a good joke

from VHS, you know, which is related to exercise.

I burnt 1500 calories yesterday.

I left the cake in the oven for too long.

Oh, that's a good one.

We test.

Thank you for that.

Oh, very good.

Very good.

I like that.

That's worth remembering.

But remember, though, I was.

That was good. I like that, master.

So if you burn food, you could say that you are also burning

calories.

You see, Rose is also saying that we need to do a better job this time when we make the pancakes. Yes.

Well, so you all have a different memory to us.

Say to us, I'm thinking it was very good, but obviously it wasn't quite

so good as we remember it.

I think think this may have been when I wasn't what was on my own.

I don't think you were with us when I made a I think it was last year.

I think I made a terrible job of it last year.

Anyway, again, I was just saying that I will have you make a better job of it.

Maybe you did do it last year. Yes.

Giovanni says that they'll be working, so that's fine.

You can you can look at it later on afterwards.

That's the beauty of YouTube.

Even if you miss it, you can watch it as many times as you want.

So we have our big subject coming up today,

a topic, the topic which is waking up in the morning.

So all of the words, all of the phrases

will be connected to waking up,

to coming out of unconsciousness,

coming out of your your dream state, as we call it.

So we're not talking about sleep today.

We're talking about being awake or waking up the many words

and phrases that can be used to describe that.

Before we get on to that, can I just

ask a couple of questions here?

Olga has bought a new frying pan

and is going to try it on Pancake Day.

Oh, so maybe you could film yourself

and show it to us and we could show it on the live stream.

Tom Rox asks, Can you explain what tossing means?

Tossing is when you throw something up in the air

and then you catch it again.

So you throw it up and then you catch it so you can toss a ball.

You might toss a ball to another person.

So you throw it and another person catches it.

So normally something that is thrown from one person to another,

or maybe if you are doing it yourself, a lot of people

can toss something in the air.

I'm going to toss this go.

I'm tossing it in the air.

Yes. So, sir, Mr..

Mr.. Steve there was tossing.

I'm real.

Well, that time I explain One of the other meanings of

there is another meaning that's very dirty and rude,

but we don't do that here because there might be adults watching.

And he's just pizza dough.

Yes, You can make the lead. Yes, you toss it.

So you turned pizza dough and you throw it in the air and then you catch it again.

Francesca says, Can you say flip over?

Well, you can with a pancake. Can

you can flip the pancake over.

But normally, if it's going in, if you just flip it over, it means it's not going into the air.

You're just turning it over. You're just turning it over.

But if you literally if it's going into the air and landing

back down again, then it means you're tossing it in the air.

So it's got to go up and down again.

If you just turn it over, then you're flipping it over. Yes.

From one side to the other.

So, yes, you're right.

You could also toss a coin.

Yeah.

So maybe if you are trying to make a decision on something,

you might toss a coin in the air and see where it lands.

Yes, If that was a coin, you toss it into the air.

Heads or tails, Mr. Duncan.

Oh, well, it's neither, because it isn't a coin.

I'm demonstrating, You say?

Because I was wondering visually.

I was wondering how long it would take you to realise that that was not many dancing.

Well, Matt says this.

Matt Dallas says, yes, you can toss a coin.

So there are many.

Well, there is at least two different explanation for that word meanings.

It can also say there's an expression I could not.

I couldn't give a toss, which means you don't care.

So I don't care about that.

I, I couldn't give a toss.

I just don't care about it.

I couldn't give a toss about football.

I couldn't give a toss about politics.

I swear.

I'm just laughing at some

a. But yes, exactly.

I think on Tuesday, a lot of people will be tossing at the same time as this.

So if you want to watch us on Tuesday, whilst we are in the kitchen,

you can also toss with us as well.

So all you need is some, some batter, some eggs and a little bit of milk, some salt.

Isn't that a different YouTube channel about a hot frying pan?

And we can all toss together?

Yes. On Tuesday.

And what if they stick to the ceiling?

Yes, of course, Inaki, That's what

that's what the humour.

That's always a humorous side as you throw it up and it sticks to the ceiling.

But fortunately in our house, all of the food that we cook ends up stuck to the ceiling.

So. So you won't notice the difference.

That's true, yes.

And Claudia, of course, is going to be very good at making pancakes because Claudia is a very good cook.

Do we know what Claudia is cooking today?

We don't know.

We don't.

Well, Claudia is on holiday, so she's not cooking.

Maybe she's going out for a meal, having a rest.

Yes, I think Claudia is preparing.

Either preparing to go away on holiday or is already there.

But I know that you are going to have a lovely time.

I am slightly jealous because we haven't had a holiday since 2009.

We've got to be quick. You know, if we're going to Paris to meet up.

I've noticed some of the comments today.

If we don't get our skates on, that's a good phrase.

Get our skates on.

If you get if you get your skates on, it means you you do something in a hurry.

You you have to do something quickly.

You have to get your skates on. Hurry up.

Well, if we don't, people are arranging to meet up

in Paris themselves with without us.

Oh, I see. So we've got to be.

You know, that's so you could you could have an English addict meet up with us too.

Well, because we keep saying we're going to we don't we never actually say when we're going to do it.

So that's true, right?

Let's do that this week, Mr. Duncan.

Let's make that a mission.

Is this before or after you read a book?

Is before or after yet? No, I won't say anything.

Yes, yes.

I've got to read books.

I've got it isn't tossing.

And then I've got to sort out our trip to Paris.

Not necessarily in that order.

So, yeah, I'm going.

That's on my to do list.

Mr. Duncan, is it? Yes. Sort out.

So it's just going to pretend to write that down.

I'm writing it down.

So that date for Paris meet? Yes.

We were thinking of June.

Or maybe early July.

We will see what happens and of course in June, in a few weeks, of course, we have

we have a big event taking place here in England.

We have we have the coronation of King Charles.

He will officially have his big crown dropped on his head

and he will be the king of everything, basically.

Right.

Okay.

Yes. Giovanni, of course, you can ask another question.

Oh, in Italy, I think Pancake Day is the Wednesday of the ashes.

It's not the same thing as pancake. What?

It's pancake.

Yes, but it's all it's all related to those things.

So it's basically what we did years ago was just to put all of these things,

all of the food that we had left over and make the pancake from it.

So it can also be seen as symbolic as well from a religious point of view.

Yes, that is correct.

Olmec, you if you don't sleep very well

and you're restless in your sleep, then you can say you tossed and turned.

You might.

Yeah. Yeah. That that is that is correct.

I guess what we're doing today we are playing fill in the blanks.

Oh right.

So We are going to at least one person as we be watching.

Okay, Steve, let me just set this up.

So first of all, we're going

to have today's subject and then after that, we are going to play

today's Fill in the Blanks.

So that is coming up a little bit later on.

Here's something interesting. Mr.

Domke better be Zeus, yet we call them

Zeus, yet we don't know if it's the correct pronunciation.

We have one of the sheets.

Steve dence on today

X Matt.

John Asthma. John

Lots of x's in the names accent.

So welcome, welcome.

And that's what's incredible to have a pupil of somebody

who is watching us I believe you were watching you were watching on Wednesday as well.

Really?

Yes, I was out here.

Yes, we were here together.

Yeah, that's right.

On Wednesday.

Who's asking you how old you are?

Me. This year I will be 58.

So I'm officially almost officially

two years away from 60.

Olga says about the king's coronation.

Yes, it does seem complicated.

So just a very quick explanation.

He is the king now, but he hasn't been officially crowned.

So that's the long that's the ceremony, isn't it,

where he has to have the crown put on his head?

Yeah, that's the coronation.

The literally the coronation.

The crown going on your head.

It comes from the word coronet, which of course means crown.

So when you coronate someone, you are putting a crown on them.

You are laying the crown on their head.

So as soon as the Queen died, he immediately was the king.

But all this is is a symbolic

ceremony.

It's like being engaged to be married.

And then you have the official ceremony where you get married.

So I think it's probably the best way of looking at it.

Anyway, we have we have King Charles.

It will all be official in a few weeks from now.

Everyone getting very excited, mainly because we get I think it's three days holiday. Is it?

I think we are getting a public holiday, so I really couldn't care less about the coronation.

But I do like the fact that we might be able to have a bit of fun

and games on here, maybe on the same day.

So maybe we could have our own coronation.

Yes, we could have our own crown was a good idea.

Maybe I could be crowned the King of English.

That would be very nice. What an ego.

Yes, Yes.

Stomach.

If you if you aren't sleeping very well at night,

the correct order is to toss and turn.

Yes. If it's the other way round, it's something else entirely different.

Which I'm sure is exactly what you into.

I think he's being rude. Yes, but we like that.

So it doesn't.

You're being very rude, Right?

Okay.

Rude Rude Tomic rude

at some make said that the Wednesday stream is a drag

which is a joke of course because we were talking about drag queen you that's it

I think things can go by so slowly like today's live stream anyway right.

I've got to get on because we're not going to have time.

I can already see we're not going have time, right.

To do anything else.

So this is English addict, everyone, I hope you are having a good day.

It's a beautiful day here in the

and the sun is out.

And as Mr.

Steve mentioned earlier, it's looking lovely Looking.

Is it? Isn't that amazing?

I can feel hormones rising, Mr.

Duncan, as long as that's the only thing that's rising.

Well, they come together, don't they usually.

Do they Really. Well that's what spring does, doesn't it?

It's sort of, you know, it sort of gets your sort of reproductive organs going.

Does it really? Yes, it does.

Well, that's a natural thing, isn't it?

I mean, look at the birds outside at the moment.

They're mating, right?

There's no tomorrow. Even at your age.

Yes, at any age, I think even at your age, it hasn't all fallen to pieces yet.

It hasn't. It hasn't gone rusty. Not yet, no. So

anyway, stand standby, everyone.

We have today's subject coming up and are talking all about waking

up, being awake, being conscious, something that Mr.

Steve rarely is to

and he did it it

the bill.

We are still here by the way.

Don't worry, we haven't gone yet.

I know a lot of people are wishing we would.

Today we are looking at an interesting subject.

I think it is anyway wake up

and you can see their wake up

exclamation mark.

And the reason why I put there is quite often

we will say wake up when we want someone

to wake up from their sleep

so maybe they are asleep and you want someone to wake up.

And my mother used to often

shout up the stairs and she would say, Duncan, are you getting up?

Wake up, wake up, Duncan, come on,

get out of bed, you lazy boy.

But did she swear? Did? Yes.

She swore a lot but.

But I think sometimes I did deserve it.

As we discovered, she still does it anyway.

Steve. Steve, up.

We have.

We have a subject to talk about.

Please wake.

So now if someone wakes or they wake,

we are using it as a verb to become conscious,

to be aware or to become aware.

So it is interesting how we use these these words in many different ways.

Also, another word that you might not hear very often anymore rules

you rouse someone, but it is still used in common English.

So to bring about a certain situation or to encourage people to do

something is also a use of the word rouse.

You might rouse a reaction,

you might rouse a person from their sleep.

You are making them become conscious of everything around them.

So I think that's quite a nice word.

What time does she normally wake?

What time does she normally wake?

So from being asleep to being conscious, you you wake

or you wake up.

Yes. Anyway,

you need to wake at around 6 a.m.

So again, you are using the word wake to show

that the person is asleep, but then they will be awake.

They will wake up at 6ama person can wake.

Something causes

a person to wake so you can wake yourself up.

You open your eyes and you are awake.

But of course you might also wake another person up

or maybe something wakes you up.

I wake up at dawn or don't wake up.

The neighbours don't make too much noise, don't

wake up the neighbours because they will be angry.

I'd wake up the neighbours.

Mr. Duncan, if I went out early in my Ford Mustang, that would wake up the neighbours,

even though you don't have one.

Even though I don't have one, it would wake them up unless I put it on silent mode

Anyway, here's another one.

The word up is often used after Wake.

So it's interesting how sometimes we do this

put up next to the word

that we are describing or using as a verb.

There's another good example.

Can you think of another example where we use up next to a word

shut?

Yes, you can shut up.

Maybe you shut up your shop.

You are closing your business for the day or maybe permanently.

You are going out of business.

You shut up your shop.

Or maybe you tell a person to be quiet.

Oh, I wish you would.

Shut up.

Shut up! Be quiet. Yes, shut up.

Cool is another one.

You might call up someone.

You call up a friend, You phone a friend, you phone a colleague.

You call up, you call them, you call that person.

So the word up is often used after Wake.

I normally wake up around 7 a.m..

We have the past tense, of course, to wake up.

You woke up, You woke up.

I woke up as it was getting light.

I woke up as it was getting light.

And that's something we've noticed.

Yes. It's starting get light in the morning.

Normally it's very dark during the winter, in the mornings,

but we've noticed that it's starting to get light, which means we'll have to go to bed earlier.

Otherwise we will be woken up by the light

coming in from behind the curtains, from the sun.

My neighbour's dog woke me up.

We know that one very well. That way.

Unfortunately, we do.

Although the other day of course, we were woken up

by the sound of the milk delivery van

going next to something like 5:00 in the morning

clinking bottles.

Do you ever get woken up?

Do you have milk delivered?

You are to houses.

It's not it's not something that happens very often now.

But these days most people get it from the supermarkets.

But some people sort of old fashioned people

get to have their milk delivered on a van.

So my neighbour's dog woke me up.

It's very annoying.

Go like that. You see?

It can be very annoying.

We shan't out of the window, you know.

Shut up. Yes.

So that stupid dog it.

We can also use a wake and to express.

Wake up.

You can awaken me before you leave.

And also as a past tense awoken or you awoke.

So you wake up and in the past you awoke

or you woke up you awakened.

Can also be the present tense.

You awaken.

Maybe if you make person aware

of something as well, you can use the word awaken.

So maybe something that you didn't know before and now you know it.

You can say thank you.

You have awakened my interest.

You have made me interested.

You have made me realise that something is the way.

Yes, it is.

You can awaken a passion in somebody, can't you? Yes.

That's commonly used in that context.

That may be you've been around somebody for a long time and never really notice them.

And then suddenly you hear that they are awake.

Some passion inside you because is something they do or something

they wear or something they say Yes, Awaken

is another one.

The word weight.

Now, this is interesting because it doesn't look like a real word, but it is waked.

Really?

Yes, It is an officially out right?

Yes. Yes, it is in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Before anyone says Mr.

Lancome, the word waked is not real waked.

The word waked is often as wrong, but it is correct.

You can use waked.

The fire alarm waked me.

It doesn't seem right, does it?

And I agree with you.

It doesn't seem right.

I was right up by the neighbours. Doughnuts.

What time do you like to be waked?

Is not strange.

So there are certain situations in English where something seems incorrect or not.

Right. But in fact it is.

Here we go.

Some ways of expressing wake

to wake up, to

awaken, to have waked,

to be woke, to have a woke to be woken.

Now, the last one, of course, as I said earlier, to be woken means something

is causing you to become awake, to be woken.

And of course we have the word woke, which

of course has become a word

that a lot of people use as a buzz word,

which means a person who is over cautious or

tolerant, or maybe a person who is always thinking about

whether or not they are offending other people.

So they make of provisions and they

they make sure that they always say the right things and include everyone.

But of course, you can't do that too much.

And quite often people will use the word woke

to to describe that type of action.

Very topical subject or that type or that type of person.

And of course, I suppose we should say that if a person is not awake,

a person who is not awake is unconscious.

Also a word that a lot of people spell incorrectly,

you are asleep, you are un aware.

So maybe a person who is not awake might be at work

and maybe they are not concentrating on job.

You might say that that person is not awake even though they are awake,

but they're not concentrating very well on their job.

They might not be aware of what they are doing because they are

maybe sleepy, maybe the night before they've stayed awake too late.

Normally you would associate the word unconscious with being hit over the head, wouldn't you?

You would. Yeah.

Yes. If you get hit the head, you are,

you are rendered unconscious.

But people often do use that to try and describe how somebody is in a very deep sleep.

I was so I was in a deep I was unconscious.

Well, it is the state that you go into anyway, isn't it?

It is to be like being in a coma as well.

We often think of coma as, as a very deep

sleep in fact one that you can't actually wake up from.

Yes. You say, oh that's, so sleepy, I've gone into a coma.

And of course what you're doing there is exaggerating the state of sleep

because you don't want to be in a coma But when we often think of head injuries,

maybe if a person has brain damage, maybe from an accident,

they might also be unconscious,

but they be awoken. Yes.

If you're if you're unconscious, it means you're not awake.

But you wouldn't normally say.

You would normally say, I've woken up.

You wouldn't you wouldn't say I went to sleep last night.

You wouldn't say I went unconscious.

You might say I had a lot to drink and I.

And I fell unconscious on the set. Yes.

It's normally used dramatically.

Usually dramatically, because unconscious normally is associated with

a you don't want to be in.

He turned to the head drunk and drugged.

Okay, we've got to move on.

Steve, Wake is the opposite.

When we say a person is awake, they are conscious,

they are awake, they are aware.

So you might also use the opposite when we are talking about a person at work

you have to stay awake in your job and that can be me.

That can mean maybe you have to stay conscious, but also you have to

be aware of what is happening around you.

Maybe you are a security guard and you have to stay awake.

You have to stay alert.

So I think that's quite a good way of looking

at those two words.

We can also say that a person gets up, they get up.

So normally when we use that phrase,

we mean the person actually getting out of bed.

So they wake up and maybe straight away

they get up, they get out of bed, or they rise.

What time do you rise in the morning?

What time does he normally get up?

I won't get out of bed until I am ready.

So you get up or you get out.

You get out of bed.

A person who wakes up early.

Oh, now, Mr.

Steve, sometimes you wake up very early in the morning.

You like to have a drink of water,

or maybe you downstairs and look at the sunrise.

You might say that you were up with the lark.

I was up with the lark. This morning.

It means you got up early with the birds. Yes.

And I presume the lark is a bird that starts

singing particularly early? Yes.

If you're up with the lark or with the birds, you can say it means you get up.

Basically as the sun is getting up, the sun is rising

because that's when the birds normally start singing.

Yes. You've got down there and early birds. Yes.

So that the person who gets up early can also be described as an early bird.

My my.

I had a boss many years ago that used to use the phrase

an early bird catches word. Yes.

Because obviously, if you

if a bird is awake, it might be the first one to see the worm and get the food.

But in the context it was being used in my workplace

was that he was encouraging me to

to drop my business cards

customers, to try and get sales,

to try and get in before other sales companies sales force

people were out there, get your card in early, get to the surgery early,

get to the place where I'm going to sell my goods before another company.

Then I will stand a better chance of selling something.

So the early bird catches the worm.

So if you say if you get in quickly, if you get in early, then you have more chance of success.

That's it.

To be up at the crack of dawn

and not say I'm not saying anything else about that

is another one.

Wake up and it kind just Yeah, no, I'm not.

There is another way of using that, but I'm not.

I'm not going to say that we need to be out of bed at the crack of dawn.

So as the sun is rising, maybe outside your window, you can hear Mr.

Cockerel crowing. Perhaps not.

We need to be out of bed at the crack of dawn

as daylight approaches or begins.

We have to get up.

We have to be up at the crack of dawn.

Wake up Call. I was going to say. Oh, yes.

Maybe you receive a call in the morning to tell you to wake up.

Maybe. Yes.

Maybe if you're staying at a hotel, you book a wake up call.

People don't do that very much now because they've got alarms on their phones.

But it's sometimes like a failsafe, isn't it?

You can get someone to wake you up

sometimes.

Sometimes it's not easy to wake in the morning.

Sometimes you don't want to wake up

the phrase, Oh, here's a good phrase.

We have some phrases.

Now before we finish this part.

Okay, wake the dead.

If you.

If you wake the dead, of course you can't wake the dead.

Can't you?

But it is used as an expression to show that a person is making too much noise.

Or maybe something is too loud or extremely noisy.

Keep that down.

You will wake the dead.

It's a good one. Yes. Yes.

If your children are screaming and shouting a lot, maybe you could use that to scare them.

Stop shouting and screaming.

You wake the dead and that may scare them.

I think it's called more because they're so noisy.

Even those that are no longer living might might be be raw bamboo

for use as dawn cracks.

Is that rude?

I don't read that, Steve.

Oh, okay.

Oh, yes.

Sorry. Yeah, I fell for it.

I fell for it. Move on. Of course.

So you might wake the dead.

You might also say Weeki Wachee,

Reiki, reiki wakey wakey.

Rise and shine. Okay, that might be coming up.

Okay.

Weeki Wachee often said jokingly,

when waking someone so maybe a person you are going up to wake them up

and you might say wakey wakey.

Maybe you've gone downstairs, make a cup of tea

and you bring it up and you go Weeki Wachee

usually said to children, but you can obviously use it to your partner.

Yes. Anyone?

Yes. Normally jokingly you normally use jokingly that said

yes. Here's another one.

This is something that Steve

I'm I'm sorry, Steve.

I'm sorry.

Wide awake, garden

alert,

very aware,

fully conscious.

Oh, right. Yes. Yeah. Okay, Stop it then.

Stop it.

I'm often off in a fantasy world of my own.

I do not particularly alert or very aware.

So to be wide awake means you are in the moment you are

very aware of what is happening around you.

You are wide awake.

I suppose the opposite would be drowsy or sleepy.

You are feeling sleepy, the opposite of wide awake.

So that's not. It's quite an interesting one.

Here we go.

A phrase you might say It's time to get up.

It's time to get up.

It's time to get out of bed.

You have to get up for work.

Or maybe you have an urgent appointment to attend to.

It's time to get out of this pit.

My mother used to say this to me in the morning.

She said, Come on, Duncan, get out of that pit.

It's an expression that is used.

It doesn't mean that you're your bed is a hole in the ground.

It just says, Come on, get out of that place where you're spending too much time.

Get out of your pit.

It's time to get up. Yes.

Oh, here's a good one.

Open one's eyes.

Now, I think this is an interesting one, Steve.

So can you think of a use of that

open, open one's eyes?

I didn't open my eyes until.

Yes, yes.

The indication there is that you didn't really wake up properly.

You might have been walking around doing things, but.

Oh, open your eyes. Oh, yes.

That's when you suddenly get an understanding for something.

Maybe you didn't understand something

that somebody said or a situation and then suddenly.

Oh, oh yes.

Or maybe you've come to a realisation about something that you didn't know before.

Maybe you're a climate denier.

Mm hmm.

Maybe you don't believe in climate change, but then somebody shows you some evidence

and you say, Well, you've really opened my eyes to that.

I can now believe what you're saying.

I'm not saying that is true.

It's just an example.

So the phrase open one's eyes, you open your eyes.

It means to wake you become conscious, you wake up,

you open your eyes, or of course you become aware of something.

Something you didn't know before.

Yes, you now know, you open your eyes,

maybe to a certain part of reality

that you didn't realise existed, or a person. Hmm.

Maybe you had a work colleague and you

thought they were quite nice.

You didn't know much about, but you had a chat with them.

And then somebody said, Oh, let me tell you a thing or two about them.

And it turns out that they're not very nice and they they've done lots of bad things.

And then you say, Well, I've really opened my eyes

about that person.

Thank you for telling me to become very aware. Yes.

The idea was that you were blind blinkers, you couldn't see the truth.

Okay. And now suddenly you can.

We also have another one to say.

A person who wakes up, we can say that they are back in the land of the living

again. It doesn't mean that person was dead.

It just means that they were asleep.

They weren't doing anything. They were inactive.

But we can say that that person is back in the land of the living.

Oh, I see.

You've decided to get up.

Oh, I see. You're back in the of the living.

It's very nice.

If you were a several of you sitting around maybe having a family event and you were sitting down,

somebody fell asleep and then they woke up

and then you would say that to the, Oh, you're back in the land of the living, are you?

And everyone would laugh about it.

So you are awake again after a good rest often

said, often said sarcastically, in fact.

And I think Tomek gave us

this earlier wake up and smell the coffee.

You might tell a person to wake up and smell the coffee.

It is time to see things as they really are

so again, it's a little bit like Open your eyes.

Yeah. Something.

It's time to see things as they really are.

Wake up and smell the coffee.

Become aware of something that maybe you were not aware of before.

Yes, it's often used in a sarcastic way

to somebody, isn't it?

Quite often, yes, it can be, yes.

But normally, if we're trying to draw attention to something that happens in reality,

yes something happens in the real world quite often,

something brutal or maybe unfair.

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

The early bird gets the worm.

Yes, we test. We've explained that one.

But thank you very much for it. Again,

referring to the fact that

if you get up early are more likely to get injured, you'll get an advantage over something or somebody

else.

Tomek has made an interesting point about wake up call.

Wake up call can also be something that makes you change your life.

Maybe something, maybe you have a heart attack

or maybe something goes wrong in your.

You might say that that was a wakeup call. Yes.

A warning of maybe something bad

happening in the future or maybe something even worse. Yes.

Maybe you go to the doctor and you have a a blood test.

Another example.

And you've got a very high cholesterol, high blood pressure.

And that is a wake up call that you need to start looking after yourself and taking exercise.

But you can use that in many other ways is something that Steve does a lot.

He often gets out of bed on the wrong side.

You get out of bed on the wrong side, or we can say that you

get out on the wrong side of the bed.

It means you wake up feeling angry and bad tempered.

So maybe someone comes down in the morning and they they seem really unhappy.

You might say, Oh, I see.

What's wrong?

Did you get out of bed on the wrong side this morning?

It doesn't mean you're literally doing that.

It's it's a figurative, isn't it? Yes.

It just simply means that you are bad tempered.

First thing in the morning is a good one. I like that one.

I actually like them.

We've got a couple of more certain person months as you explain Morning Glory as well.

That is when you wake

up in the morning and this is something that affects men.

Our work work.

Sorry, You ask me to do it.

Well, I wasn't going to yes, I wasn't going to wake up in the morning

and you notice something, You noticed something very unusual.

Maybe it's a little bit of sunlight coming through the curtain,

but you feel

awake, you feel excited

by the dawning of a new day.

Men normally under a certain age,

get their lovely morning

glory as the day starts

and they feel ready to to take off and to

to take on whatever the day has full.

And of course, what it really means is, is the glorious sunrise.

Yeah, that's what I just said.

Look out of the window.

It does mean something else and we'll let you look it up.

There are ways of waking up.

Of course you can wake up naturally.

Maybe you wake up to the sound of the birds or

Steve just said, There's the sunrise coming through the window.

Oh, maybe you have an alarm clock.

Or maybe there is some disturbance.

Maybe a dog barking or a noisy neighbour starting that car.

And of course, the partner can also wake you up in the morning as well.

Maybe they are restless.

Maybe they have to go to the toilet for a wee wee

and they have to go maybe three or four times during the night.

I'm not saying that anyone does that no one here does that,

but perhaps, perhaps your

partner wakes you up in the morning as well, Giovanni says.

Is there a phrase get out of bed on the wrong foot?

No, I think no, I think what you're referring to there is

get off on the wrong foot or on the wrong footing.

Which means? Which means you make a bad start.

Yes. Say in a new job or you've met somebody new and you upset them,

or you get into an argument and you say, Well, I think we've got off on the wrong foot.

I didn't I don't mean that.

Yes, it's not that's not about waking up.

But thank you because it's useful to me to explain that phrase.

So to waken, to become awake, to regain consciousness,

to be awake, not sleep, to be conscious.

So you can see there is a slight difference between those two words

to waken and to be awake.

One, the process or the action of going from sleep

to being conscious, and the other one is being conscious.

And guess what, Steve?

That is it for today's subject.

So is there a phrase says Inaki, if you wake up,

you are not bad tempered, but you don't feel rested when you wake up.

I think you would just say you just feel as though you haven't had a good night's sleep.

Just feel tired. Yeah.

So there's a specific phrase for that.

You might say that you had a restless night. Yes.

Oh, yes, I don't feel as if I slept

very well, so I don't feel very good this morning.

I had a restless night.

It means that I find it very difficult to get to sleep anyway.

Steve, we have something really exciting coming up.

Beatrice's surprise.

Steve Beatrice says that they say you can get out of bed with with the left.

Oh, I see. So?

So that is the expression that's used there.

Oh, right.

Yes. Anyway, Steve, please. So yeah, okay.

That's

how I

to, I want to say please stop talking, but I won't, I won't do that.

Here we go. Steve, are you excited?

Because back by popular demand, we have our game

with a new intro and new intro. Yes.

How exciting.

Now, are you excited?

Ready?

You are excited?

No, I think so.

Yes. Here we go.

It's time to fill in those blanks.

Fill in the blanks.

Fill in the blanks to do it And fill in the blanks.

Fill In the blanks.

To fill in the blanks.

Fill in the blanks. Fill in the blanks.

Fill in the blanks.

Fill in the blanks.

D like that? Yes.

That reminds me of the of a television program.

Okay. From many years ago.

It fill in the blanks, everyone.

We are going to fill in those blanks.

All we have to do is look at a sentence.

There will be some words missing.

And what you have to do is in the blanks.

It's as simple as that, really.

It couldn't be simpler even if I tried to make it more simple.

Is it connected to

it? Is it going to be anything?

It could be any.

Well, you'll see the sentence in a moment.

I haven't hidden anything.

So there it is.

So write the sentences today I something

to something to the

something so you can add your own words in there

or you can add a certain selection of words.

Maybe the words that I've chosen to add.

So we will see what happens.

It will be interesting to see

what you have for me

and what we're looking for here is correct.

Grammar. Yes. So not just any old words.

They've got to actually make grammatical sense in the English.

In the English language. Yes.

So just give it a try.

Don't be shy that there are no wrong answers.

Although if there is a wrong answer, I will correct you.

But give it a try.

Don't be shy or else you will make Mr.

Duncan cry.

And we don't want that

yet. We've got some suggestions already today.

I need to go to the toilet just once a day.

Let's say you don't go every two.

I suppose it could be a number two, couldn't it?

It could be talking about that.

Yes. Francesca,

today I have to go to the office now.

Before the pandemic.

We would never use that phrase because we would be going every day.

But now, of course, a lot of people work from home.

I've got a friend who only goes into the office twice a week now.

He used to go every day now and you guys twice a week.

So you can say that phrase today.

I need to go to the office or today I have to go to the

office is used more frequently, I think.

Yes, I think it can.

It's almost people have become part time with with their office hours.

So they might go in, as you said, just a couple of times a week.

And then the rest of the time they are working from home.

It's a good one from Lois today.

I have to go to the dentist.

Today I have to go to the dentist.

I to go and see Claudia. Hmm.

To have my teeth looked at. Yes.

Oh, it could be, Doctor.

It could be all manner of things.

Gynaecologist. Yes.

Yeah.

Yeah, it could be. Yes.

Yeah. Today I have to go to the pool. Yes.

Or I want to go to the pool.

I want to go to the

park. Hmm.

So anyway, so you can see.

Oh, I said that. Yes.

Today I wish to go to the park. It's.

Well done. Yes.

I suppose there is another word we could use there after I.

Something that you must do.

Something that is very important.

So there is another word that you could put in there.

Something you must do, something you you have to do or need to.

Yes, well, that's the word I was alluding to.

That is the day I have to go to the supermarket.

So as today,

Inaki says, today I want to listen to the cockerel.

You might you might hear the cockerel in a moment

when the time is up for this question.

So any more answers coming through?

Well, Beatrice says today I want to go to the restaurant.

You would probably say go to a restaurant

unless you had a specific restaurant in.

Mind. Maybe you own the restaurant. Yes.

Maybe you if you own the restaurant or you work there

and you work there today, I have to go to the restaurant.

But if you are going out for a meal,

you would say go to a restaurant.

But yes, if you own a restaurant, you would go to the restaurant or to my restaurant.

Yes. Normally, if there's a personal connection or a specific thing, you will use that. So.

So that is correct.

Actually, you have a personal involvement.

We can't go to see Claudia to get our teeth fixed because Claudia is on holiday now.

We forgot. That's it. Maybe.

Maybe Claudia Could be treating people's teeth on the beach.

Maybe they've got sand between their teeth.

Maybe. Yeah, exactly. Yes.

And you need to perform some emergency dental work on the beach.

On the beach?

Somebody's tooth falls after they break a tooth.

You can just.

You can just rinse their mouth out with seawater water.

It might be a bit salty.

And then here we go.

Would you like to see the answer?

So this is the answer that I have here.

If I can see where it is there it is. Yes.

So here is the answer.

Thank you, Mr.

Cockerel.

You see,

you're not disappointed that he was Mr.

Cockerel.

And the the answer that I've got here.

Actually, here it is. He's the one that I've got.

Mr. Steve, You're the man

today.

I need to go to the supermarket.

So maybe there is something you need to buy.

Maybe there is some food that you've run out of or you are short of.

So today I need to go to the supermarket.

So we often use the word need when something has to be done,

something important, something crucial,

something that has to be done, it must be done.

You need to do it.

So I think I think that was a good start.

I think it's fair.

It was a very, very good start. So yes.

Yeah. Here's another one. Steve,

are you ready?

This is this is game Two

fingers at the ready. Yes.

Okay. Type of way. Type type tie.

Something we want to something you already sounds very rude.

Yes. In your mind may in your filthy disgusting mind

I something want to something

you something.

We could be using one of those the words that were used earlier to describe

a certain disturbed sleep pattern.

Yeah. Maybe you are turning.

Or what's the other one?

I something want to.

Something you something.

I've got get.

You haven't read it.

We're going to get lots of read answers for this.

Mr. Duncan.

Can I just say when I wrote this earlier, I didn't realise how rude that could be.

If you decided to add certain words, I.

Well, Valentine started the ball rolling.

Hey, that's a good phrase to start the ball rolling. Yes.

That means that somebody has, as

has started giving a suggestion.

So maybe you're at work and the boss is after ideas about how you can increase sales.

Nobody says anything.

And then somebody somebody suddenly says, well, maybe we could do this.

And then the boss might say, Good, thank you for getting the ball rolling.

Yeah. Somebody start something off.

Yes. The action of beginning something or to be the first person

to do something in a process

where where other people will then be involved.

So the first person to do it, the first person to start.

So somehow that reasonably clean.

I always want to see you happy.

Thank you, Valentino.

I really want.

Thank you. Valentino Bamboo.

Hello.

I really want to touch you, darling.

I really have.

I know you talk to me.

Well, we don't know.

But let's assume.

Assume that I have to say, these days I'm glad of any attention that I get.

To be honest.

I do want to tell you something I don't wear.

I don't. I do.

I do want to tell you something.

Yeah, that fits.

This is.

I don't want to tell you something about bitches that I do want to talk.

Oh, I see. Straight. Yeah. Oh, yes, it could be.

I don't want to tell you something or I don't want to tell you anything.

And I think anything would be better.

I don't want to see you again.

Yeah, says Maria. This is a good one. Yes.

So you can see there are many choices that you have that they're coming through thick and fast. Yes.

Now If you say that they're coming through thick and fast,

it means you're getting lots and lots and lots of suggestions for things.

Things are happening very quickly.

Lots of things are happening at the same time.

It's coming thick and fast as it were

anymore.

Let's have a look.

I'm just reading out the correct ones, Tom.

I never want to see you upset.

I never want to see you upset.

And possible.

I never want to see you cry.

I never want to see you in pain.

I never want to tell you lies, says Gallina.

Yes, Well, yeah, that fits.

I never want to tell you or I don't want to tell you lies.

Louis has a good one.

I also want to tell you something,

so maybe you can use that as a reply.

So maybe a person tells you something that they

they want to keep a secret, but they trust you.

And then you might say, I also want to tell you something.

So maybe you would tell them a secret.

Now Tom's come up with a good one.

Related to today's subject about breaking up.

I never I don't want to wake you up.

Yes, I don't want to wake you up.

Yeah, it's very good.

Very good.

That fits in perfectly, perfectly with today's subject.

So now you can see why we play this game.

It gives you a chance to think about the way sentences are formed,

but also you can put certain words in there as well.

We Are going to try and squeeze another one in.

Zuzana, I don't want to see you sad.

Yes, I also want.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Steve, Moving on

to the answer

I have here is

Oh. Oh, right. Yes.

I never want to see you again.

I never want to see you again.

Quite often I've lost count of how many people have said this to me in my life.

I never want to see you again.

Chance, Chance seven. And thank you for.

Haven't read them all out.

Some of them aren't quite grammatically correct, I think.

I think most of them were pretty good. Most Of them are pretty good.

This one or two here I can see quite dramatically because

I think that the words are what I think.

I notice with other languages.

It's the words often come in two different languages, different.

They live in French. Yes.

And so to make them grammatically correct in English,

they have to go in the correct in the right way.

Yes, Certainly verbs tend to be in different places.

Anyway, I wanted to squeeze, but thank you.

I want to squeeze one more in.

As the vicar said to the actress.

And what

something.

Okay, here we go. Steve, this is.

We should be something off.

Something. Right.

So this might be suitable for this time of the day for us.

We should be something off, something.

This is the final one.

Before we go, we've just 4 minutes left.

We might actually finish at the right time.

Stay and. We will see what happens.

So here it is.

Final one, a fill in the blank.

We should be something off, something.

So maybe there is a sense of urgency in this sentence.

Mm hmm.

Well, maybe some of you will come up with different suggestions,

so we will see what happens. Yes.

Do you? Never. Some by my vehicle.

Wake me up.

Um, I know Moby.

Moby. He's the guy with no hair.

He looks a bit like me

or me.

Yeah, we should be something off.

Something

we should be calling off

the stream.

Now, that doesn't fit in there, unfortunately.

Right?

That doesn't fit grammatically.

But it so says I should be.

I should.

I should be

turning off

the stove.

Well, there is only one word at the end, one blank space.

So we have missing words.

So that means we need to replace that blank space

with two words and we need an extra

three.

You need an extra word in there term for that.

For that to be right. Hmm.

So we should be sold off tomorrow.

Sold out would be correct.

Sound off isn't well.

Sold off can mean just something is is.

If you want to get rid of something quickly, you might have to sell it off.

Yeah, but we should be sold off.

I suppose.

Sold out is better if you run out of something, if you have nothing left.

Sort of is tricky.

People are saying, Yeah, I think it is. It's a but.

But it might be very suitable for this time of the day.

So I'm giving you a clue there.

So maybe something that will be happening soon.

Well, maybe in a few moments it will be soon. Mm.

We should be switch off

electricity.

Yes it isn't.

Yes, yes.

It's this is interesting.

This one. Yes, this is interesting.

So far nobody's actually come up with a phrase that is grammatically correct.

It should be getting.

Yeah we should be getting off that.

Yeah, that's grammatically correct.

We should be getting off that. Hmm.

If you were talking about a subject, maybe or or there

you should be.

We should be getting off there if you are driving on the motorway.

Yeah, maybe there is a place where you have to turn off.

We should be getting off there.

So you might be very close to what I am

looking for.

Thomas said we should be set off now.

That's almost right. Hmm.

If you were to

make the words set into setting, we should be setting off now.

Which means?

Which means we need to start the journey leave.

We need to.

We should be setting off now. Setting.

Otherwise we will be late.

Yes, so that is right.

You just need to have the word setting in here, Steve.

Oh, here's one from Map Hack.

We should be signing off soon.

Yes, Yes, we should be signing off soon.

Meaning that you're. You're going. Yeah. Leaving. Yes.

It's a it's. Yeah.

So if you sign off, it means you are leaving.

You are going to saying goodbye.

My answer is very interesting.

Here we go, Steve. Oh, here's one more.

You just.

I've got to go.

Steve should be logging off shortly.

Who is logging off soon?

Yes. Yeah, logging off. Yeah. So you're.

You're getting a better idea of what that word should be than what the first one anyway.

Yeah.

And, Steve, the show is ending.

It's ending. We've got it. Here we go.

What's your suggestion, Mr. Duncan?

There it is, Mr.

Cockerel.

And the answer that I have before we leave is, oh,

we should be heading off.

Heading off?

If you.

If you are heading off, it means you are leaving.

It's a bit like what you said setting off.

If you set off, it means you leave.

If you are heading off, it means you are leaving as well.

And that's exactly what we are about to to 17.

We should be taking off now

or soon or soon. Yes.

So maybe an aeroplane so now is immediately.

Soon is in a short while.

So there is a difference. But they are both.

You can use both of them and that's it.

That's it. Steve.

Mark, we should be getting off here. Yes, that's it. Steve.

Yeah. Good time to go. We finished.

We've done a service to the world of English and we are back.

And can I just say I will make a point of mentioning this.

We are back on Tuesday.

Oh, I know what you're thinking.

Oh, we are back on Tuesday.

We have Pancake Day.

We will be live in the studio together tossing

pancakes.

That is what we are doing on Tuesday.

Yours is right as well, August.

That is correct. Yes.

Thank you for all your contributions to the livestream.

It's been very lively today and very enjoyable as it always is.

And we've had a laugh, had a few laughs, haven't we, today?

And that's always a bonus

if we can have a laugh as well as teach you at the same time.

Well, Mr.

Duncan, I shall go into the kitchen and put the kettle on.

I shall try and stay awake.

Okay. I'm usually quite tired after the live streams.

You don't normally rush me off, Mr. Don't know.

It depends.

If you stay for another half an hour.

If you're well, then that's fine. Well, you can. Yes,

Yes. It's been lovely today.

Okay.

And I'll see you on with Mr.

Duncan on Tuesday. Tuesday

when we will be tossing the pancakes.

Yes. See?

See you then, Mr. Steve.

I am.

I have a feeling Steve does not want to go.

I think he wants to stay here all day.

If I was honest with.

But of course he will be very tired and he needs his lie down.

I think so.

It's almost time to say goodbye.

It's almost time to say cheerio.

But don't forget, as I said, we have an extra

live stream on Tuesday.

I am with you from 2 p.m.

UK time on Tuesday we will be live in the kitchen

and we are going to be making pancakes.

I hope you will enjoy that.

That is all we have time for.

I hope you have had a good time.

I hope you have enjoyed everything that has happened

and I will see you on Tuesday 2 p.m.

UK time.

We will be together making pancakes

and until then, you know what's coming next.

Yes, you do.

Until the next time we meet here...

ta ta for now.
