319016
2586
05:21
This is Mr. Duncan,
18
321602

19
327758

329626

And Hello.

336183

05:37
What happened then? Something very strange happened.
22
337167
2319
05:39
Did you see that?
23
339486
1018
05:40
Anyway, as I was saying, this is Mr.
24
340504
2135
05:42
Duncan, and he is Mr.
25
342639
2402
05:45
Steve. Everyone. Hello. Welcome.
26
345041
3420
05:48
And it's wonderful to be here with all you lovely friends
27
348545
3870
05:52
across the world who want to learn some English.
28
352499
2703
05:55
Yes, And that's why we're here.
29
355202
1468
05:56
You say to teach English, to talk about English.
30
356670
3286
06:00
And of course, the most important thing of all
31
360040
2686
06:02
is to have some fun.
32
362726
3820
06:06
We all have some fun.
33
366630
1151
06:07
We will have some fun.
34
367781
1184
06:08
There will be some smiles for Mr. Steve.
35
368965
2536
06:11
There might be some laughter from me.
36
371501
3303
06:14
And hopefully you will enjoy all of this as well.
37
374888
4621
06:19
I'm an English addict. Mr. Steve likes English.
38
379626
3086
06:22
He needs English very much because in his job
39
382862
3637
06:26
he has to speak quite often to other people in English.
40
386583
4537
06:31
So he needs to have a very high level of English.
41
391204
3120
06:34
And I hope your English will be improving as well.
42
394324
4204
06:38
Don't forget, please give us a like
43
398528
3370
06:41
this.
44
401981
267
06:42
Is it the last time I mentioned in lights just one more time?
45
402248
4505
06:46
Well, we could always mention it later when there's more people on.
46
406836
3820
06:50
because they need to be reminded.
47
410740
1251
06:51
Definitely with this house.
48
411991
1502
06:53
Mr. Duncan, we keep saying it, but just in case you don't know, this helps Mr.
49
413493
3119
06:56
Duncan's videos to be seen across the world without the likes.
50
416612
4405
07:01
It disappears into a black hole. Yes.
51
421017
2886
07:03
So, yes, the more lights, the better. Thank you.
52
423903
2135
07:06
You know, when you flush the toilet and the toilet goes round and round, the water inside
53
426038
5639
07:11
goes round Iraq, well, imagine I am the thing
54
431677
4655
07:16
that's being flushed away and that's what YouTube does.
55
436415
4154
07:20
Okay. Mr. Right.
56
440636
1118
07:21
And if you're wondering what I'd want to hang on for a bit first
57
441754
3120
07:24
to see if it is any good before I like it, then, you know, just just like it.
58
444874
5455
07:30
Anyway, you can always and like, just take it from us.
59
450329
3003
07:33
It'll be good. This will be good. This will be big.
60
453399
2486
07:35
Just like I think today's live stream is going to be the best one ever.
61
455885
4671
07:40
I think so.
62
460556
917
07:41
I just a bit of pressure there, Mr. Dunk.
63
461473
2203
07:43
A lot of pressure.
64
463676
700
07:44
So so we've got to really do a good one now.
65
464376
2102
07:46
It's got to be really good.
66
466478
1402
07:47
Welcome to Autumn, by the way.
67
467880
1735
07:49
It's very, very autumn.
68
469615
2169
07:51
Like outside.
69
471784
2068
07:53
I have to say the weather is rather nice.
70
473852
2887
07:56
We have well, most of the leaves
71
476739
3436
08:00
have actually fall in off the trees now, so we are well into autumn.
72
480426
5071
08:05
This week we had our first frost.
73
485581
3003
08:08
It hit, we woke up and everything was frosty as the temperature
74
488650
5289
08:14
disappeared below zero Celsius
75
494006
4304
08:18
the first time, which is unusual because we are nearly into December
76
498310
5255
08:23
and we've only just had our first frost of the winter, which is very, very unusual.
77
503649
5555
08:29
I've got some plants outside still flowering that normally would
78
509288
3453
08:32
stop flowering in probably October, but they're still going now.
79
512741
4404
08:37
And it's, you know, what's that one I'm going to outside that one that I keep growing.
80
517145
3304
08:40
I don't know my friend Andy of mine in the queue.
81
520565
2403
08:42
I keep forgetting the name of Dahlia.
82
522968
1668
08:44
The dahlia that is still flowering. Can you believe it?
83
524636
3437
08:48
I've got to bring it in, though.
84
528156
1135
08:49
Is what one of the jobs I had on my list for today, which I didn't have time to do
85
529291
3904
08:53
before coming on to the live stream.
86
533195
1885
08:55
I did say that this was going to be our best. Whatever.
87
535080
4087
08:59
I mean, excited. Mr.
88
539251
1651
09:00
Steve Yes, I am ever so excited.
89
540902
3003
09:03
Why do you know why?
90
543955
1235
09:05
Because December is just around the corner.
91
545190
3003
09:08
We are just under 30 days
92
548226
3003
09:11
away from Christmas and I noticed in much Wenlock
93
551346
4955
09:16
they are already getting in the mood
94
556384
2736
09:19
because Christmas will be on its way.
95
559120
3604
09:22
And of course I hope we will all get the chance
96
562807
3304
09:26
to celebrate together.
97
566111
2285
10:55
as if we needed reminding.
98
655299
3337
10:58
Christmas is coming as December approaches
99
658719
3420
11:02
and everything is looking rather festive
100
662139
5322
11:07
already.
101
667528
1301
11:08
Already it started.
102
668829
2903
11:11
So a lot of people I noticed the other night we were driving around the other night
103
671732
3870
11:15
and we noticed a lot of people have already put their Christmas lights up
104
675602
6006
11:21
outside their houses and also their Christmas trees are also up in the house.
105
681692
5438
11:27
We haven't done it yet.
106
687214
1151
11:28
We won't be doing it for a while.
107
688365
1852
11:30
By the way, there's something else to celebrate.
108
690217
2602
11:32
Mr. Duncan.
109
692819
818
11:33
Yeah, concerning a regular
110
693637
3003
11:36
loyal viewer of ours who is us as man from Brazil.
111
696757
3670
11:40
Pedro. Yes. Is a free man.
112
700510
2002
11:42
Pedro Belmont.
113
702512
1569
11:44
Yes, he's free.
114
704081
1584
11:45
He's free. Yes.
115
705665
1202
11:46
Well, no evidence thrown out of court, so.
116
706867
4087
11:51
Well done.
117
711037
1168
11:52
Well done, Pedro.
118
712205
1468
11:53
You know what I love of live to fight another day.
119
713673
2453
11:56
You know what I love about this live stream?
120
716126
2135
11:58
What I love about doing this is there are so many different people
121
718261
4805
12:03
watching all around the world with lots of different life stories. Yes.
122
723066
4855
12:07
Lots of different backgrounds.
123
727954
2603
12:10
Some some draw,
124
730557
3820
12:14
some.
125
734461
400
12:14
Sometimes there is drama as well.
126
734861
2870
12:17
And we think it's great that you share these things with us and
127
737731
3486
12:21
and everybody else because a lot of people wouldn't they would try and keep that to themselves.
128
741217
4622
12:25
But I mean, we we do give away a lot about our personal lives,
129
745839
5021
12:30
sometimes too much.
130
750927
2135
12:33
Yes. So yeah.
131
753062
1652
12:34
So thank you for that.
132
754714
901
12:35
Thank you for sharing that with us.
133
755615
1134
12:36
I'm having that pen back, Mr. Duncan.
134
756749
1419
12:38
I promise not to play with it.
135
758168
2102
12:40
Mrs. Duncan doesn't like me playing with a pen. Okay?
136
760270
2335
12:42
I get nervous and I play. So what are you talking about, Steve?
137
762605
2886
12:45
So that's it? Yes.
138
765491
868
12:46
No, I was just saying congratulations to Pedro.
139
766359
2135
12:48
That's it.
140
768494
1001
12:49
Pedro Belmont is a free man once again.
141
769495
4421
12:54
Completely free. 100%.
142
774000
3003
12:57
Everything
143
777036
2269
12:59
has now been cleared up.
144
779305
1301
13:00
His name is once again, good and pure. Yes.
145
780606
6157
13:06
Just, you know, make sure it doesn't happen again.
146
786846
4454
13:11
Well, it doesn't matter, does it?
147
791367
1351
13:12
If you're innocent, it doesn't matter.
148
792718
1469
13:14
Can't afford to lose one zero on this channel. No.
149
794187
2702
13:16
Signed you.
150
796889
417
13:17
You could watch from behind bars. I'm not sure you.
151
797306
3020
13:20
Well, I would imagine.
152
800343
1618
13:21
No, I'm just guessing.
153
801961
1234
13:23
I would imagine the prisons in Brazil are pretty tough.
154
803195
5439
13:28
I bet.
155
808718
567
13:29
I would imagine so.
156
809285
1885
13:31
I doubt I doubt you would get any access to the Internet.
157
811170
5105
13:36
Not like here in the UK.
158
816308
2420
13:38
Our prisons are like holiday camps.
159
818728
2886
13:41
You go into prison and the first thing they do is they give you a cell and they give you everything you want.
160
821614
6456
13:48
Inside you have a TV, you have the Internet.
161
828070
3437
13:51
It's a bit like going to a holiday camp here in the UK when you go to prison.
162
831590
5990
13:57
Yes. So but anyway, yes, there we go.
163
837663
2436
14:00
Well done. Well done. No evidence.
164
840099
3520
14:03
So is a free man.
165
843686
1384
14:05
So that's good to know. Good. I'm very glad to hear that.
166
845070
3037
14:08
Pedro Belmont, or should I say Pedro
167
848107
3019
14:11
Belmont is a free man.
168
851126
3737
14:14
Yes. Again,
169
854947
3003
14:18
once more, Who is first on today's line, I guess.
170
858100
4621
14:22
Hello. Who was first?
171
862721
1552
14:24
I see.
172
864273
1051
14:25
I can see that we have
173
865324
3003
14:28
Vitesse.
174
868527
884
14:29
Congratulations, Vitus.
175
869411
1668
14:31
You are first on today's live chat.
176
871079
8659
14:39
He would also get a prize
177
879821
1435
14:41
for the person who is most often first on the live stream.
178
881256
4405
14:45
I think if there was a prize for that, I think you would quite, quite clearly get that.
179
885661
4554
14:50
Although right hot on your heels, as we say.
180
890215
2503
14:52
Hot on your heels.
181
892718
1618
14:54
Very coming up very quickly behind or at the same time was Beatrice
182
894336
7140
15:01
and Lewis and Valentine
183
901560
2435
15:03
and Charlotte motion as well.
184
903995
3370
15:07
Beatrice has had a busy weekend.
185
907449
2886
15:10
very busy weekend.
186
910335
1218
15:11
What has Beatrice been doing?
187
911553
1802
15:13
Well, Beatrice has been attending the wedding of a younger brother.
188
913355
4387
15:17
okay, then.
189
917826
567
15:18
Congratulations to your younger brother on.
190
918393
2819
15:21
On his
191
921212
1585
15:22
wedding day. Yes.
192
922797
2353
15:25
And I think probably Beatrice is up
193
925150
3320
15:28
very late last night, but she's still here today.
194
928470
3853
15:32
Probably be hung over
195
932407
2102
15:34
that.
196
934509
200
15:34
I doubt it.
197
934709
551
15:35
No, I doubt the era hung over.
198
935260
1935
15:37
Beatrice, I don't mean to besmirch your name.
199
937195
3270
15:40
Okay, But yes, so we have is a lovely wedding.
200
940465

1735
15:45
Yes, please send us lots and lots of photographs.
202

2186
15:47

203
947639
1985
15:49
We need 100 photographs of your wedding.
204
949624
2769
15:52

952393
384
15:52
Just as this car my dad said. Can we have 200?
206
952777
3270
15:56

207
956130
6407
16:02
Definitely.
208
962620
651
16:03
Diego sends a lovely message from me, from Colombia.
209
963271
3770
16:07
But now, living in Poland, thanks to Mr.
210
967108
2669
16:09
Duncan's programmes, I've been improving my English.
211
969777
2469
16:12
Good.
212
972246
718
16:12
So well done, Diego.
213
972964
3003
16:16
Ashleigh JANDREAU Molina, Lara.
214
976200
4071
16:20
okay. That was.
215
980338
1084
16:21
You did a very good job of that, by the way.
216
981422
2252
16:23
Diego Ashleigh is it is Andrew
217
983674
2853
16:26
is that the judge pronounces as Hamlet Jandreau Molina.
218
986527
4071
16:30
Lara see you. I've got to say.
219
990598
2569
16:33
Molina Yes, it's kind of this lilting name.
220
993167
3837
16:37
There's this sort of lilt little flows off of the off the palate.
221
997088
4137
16:41
Okay, That's a bit like a dance.
222
1001275
2302
16:43
It's yes, the same as the sound
223
1003577
3370
16:46
dances off your tongue. Yes.
224
1006947
4104
16:51
we older brother.
225
1011118
1118
16:52
I thought it was after Beatrice, his younger brother.
226
1012236
2486
16:54
Okay, that's good.
227
1014722
2519
16:57
All right.
228
1017241
450
16:57
I missed that from one of the messages. Yes, clearly.
229
1017691
3337
17:01
But anyway, a brother.
230
1021028
1802
17:02
Anyway, moving on this week, we've had a busy week as well.
231
1022830
4337
17:07
Not just Beatriz. We've had a busy week.
232
1027167
3587
17:10
We were zooming around the country lanes of England,
233
1030838
6456
17:17
driving something
234
1037378
2519
17:19
that we don't often get to drive.
235
1039897
3987
17:24
Yeah, this week we were driving around
236
1044101
3904
17:28
in something very large, something larger than Mr.
237
1048088
4438
17:32
Steve's car, and we had quite a lot of fun doing it.
238
1052526
5305
17:37
Would you like to see what happened when Mr.
239
1057831
2553
17:40
Steve and myself decided to go for a drive
240
1060384
3670
17:44
in our big white van?
241
1064137
2102
19:24
Now, if you remember, we used to have spot the white van.
242
1164487
5939
19:30
Do you remember that?
243
1170509
818
19:31
We used to have spot the white van when when the road
244
1171327
3053
19:34
was behind us on the live view.
245
1174380
3337
19:37
And this week we were actually driving
246
1177917
4254
19:42
a white van, a huge vehicle.
247
1182238
3653
19:45
Mr. Steve, I have to say, can I just say, Steve, you were brilliant
248
1185958
4388
19:50
driving this huge vehicle.
249
1190429
2820
19:53
In fact, I have a feeling that you may have changed
250
1193249
4287
19:57
your mind about driving a large vehicle on the road, because the one thing I noticed
251
1197536
6223
20:03
is everyone moved out of the way for us.
252
1203843
3636
20:07
So when you were driving something large, a large vehicle like a van,
253
1207479
4438
20:12
I certainly noticed during the week
254
1212001
3737
20:15
all of the traffic seems to move away.
255
1215821
3086
20:18
They parked and they were very courteous, very kind to us on the road.
256
1218907
5923
20:24
I think they were intimidated.
257
1224897
2018
20:26
Yes. So, yeah, we was a bit of a sad trip because we were going to pick up furniture
258
1226915
6624
20:33
from my mother's house because we have to clear the house.
259
1233539
3970
20:37
Okay.
260
1237526
384
20:37
So we had to pick up some furniture, so we had to hire a van.
261
1237910
3003
20:41
Olga asks, Do you need a special license?
262
1241013
3970
20:45
You don't for a van up to a certain size.
263
1245067
4955
20:50
It's only if it becomes what's called an HGV V, a heavy goods vehicle
264
1250105
4404
20:54
that you need a special license over a certain size and weight.
265
1254509
4138
20:58
You have to have a special license.
266
1258647
1601
21:00
But I have to say, you were brilliant.
267
1260248
2336
21:02
Even though coming back, we we actually drove back in the dark.
268
1262584
4538
21:07
And because many of the roads were closed, because it was it was the rush hour
269
1267205
5139
21:12
and there were there was traffic everywhere, basically.
270
1272427
3003
21:15
And we had to go through the country lanes in the dark.
271
1275664
3904
21:19
It's a bit stressful.
272
1279568
1284
21:20
It was a maze.
273
1280852
801
21:21
It was quite, quite exciting in a way.
274
1281653
2736
21:24
We were we were both excited and
275
1284389
3620
21:28
quite nervous, but we did it.
276
1288076
2252
21:30
This van was only a year old, but it had about 20 dents all over it from previous.
277
1290328
5639
21:35
It was behind it, obviously.
278
1295967
1618
21:37
Yes, it seemed quite posh because it was a mercedes van.
279
1297585
4021
21:41
So you think maybe I didn't know it was going to be that, but it was covered in dents
280
1301606
4087
21:45
from where people had obviously hide the vehicle before us and had a minor accident. Yes.
281
1305693
5639
21:51
What I love, Steve, what I loved is the fact that when they
282
1311566
3937
21:55
they bring the van to the house, they
283
1315737
3003
21:58
and they take photographs of the van
284
1318957
3903
22:02
just in case there are any extra dents that we put in.
285
1322944
3870
22:06
But we didn't we didn't have any incidents.
286
1326814
2603
22:09
And it was it was actually quite good for a bit close.
287
1329417
3003
22:12
The only thing was it was a bit stressful to drive it because it had this very annoying
288
1332537
4354
22:17
and loud rattle from behind.
289
1337141
3120
22:20
The Bolt had some I don't know where it was, okay.
290
1340261
2536
22:22
And it was very, you know, very stressful to drive it as particularly down these country lanes.
291
1342797
4688
22:27
I think we nearly had an accident, but we got away with it.
292
1347568
3237
22:30
We remember nearly having an accident.
293
1350888
3003
22:34
Well, I managed to stay calm.
294
1354025
1168
22:35
It was a manual. I haven't driven a manual car for years.
295
1355193
2902
22:38
So the the old gear style fashioned gears.
296
1358095
2503
22:40
It was good fun. Yes.
297
1360598
1952
22:42
But yes, it was all good.
298
1362550
1918
22:44
It was We had to drive through the country lanes to avoid all the traffic
299
1364468
4438
22:48
that had built up on the way back.
300
1368906
2269
22:51
But anyway, we got back fine.
301
1371175
1451
22:52
Yes, it was it was quite good fun, though.
302
1372626
1685
22:54
Sometimes when you do these things.
303
1374311
1769
22:56
We were we were slightly worried.
304
1376080
1785
22:57
But once we got on the road, I have to say it was quite a lot of fun.
305
1377865
4655
23:02
Very I would say, my voice is going again.
306
1382736
4355
23:07
It's a very macho thing to do.
307
1387174
2820
23:09
Yeah, so very macho.
308
1389994
1201
23:11
You always think of the people driving white vans as being muscular and macho.
309
1391195
5889
23:17
And there we were driving around the lanes in this big white van.
310
1397167
4188
23:21
But it was good fun.
311
1401355
1268
23:22
It was good fun.
312
1402623
817
23:23
It was fun.
313
1403440
901
23:24
Had a bit of fun, although it wasn't fun.
314
1404341
3220
23:27
Moving furniture out of my mother's house.
315
1407628
2285
23:29
No, that wasn't fun.
316
1409913
1385
23:31
That was a bit upsetting.
317
1411298
901
23:32
But then, you know, it's got to be done.
318
1412199
2069
23:34
So we had to do it.
319
1414268
1668
23:35
I said this, okay,
320
1415936
2853
23:38
that's that's information that we probably didn't need to give.
321
1418789
2436
23:41
But then if anyone knew that's just joined, please like
322
1421225
3853
23:45
give us a like and show that you care.
323
1425145
3737
23:48
You care and you love us so much.
324
1428966
3603
23:52
That would be very nice today.
325
1432653
1468
23:54
By the way, we do have some things to talk about, George.
326
1434121
2669
23:56
We are looking at an interesting word in a few moments.
327
1436790
3003
23:59
Also, we are talking about
328
1439793
3437
24:03
suffixes suffix.
329
1443296
3371
24:06
A suffix.
330
1446750
1602
24:08
So when we talk about suffixes, we often talk about the secondary
331
1448352
4187
24:12
or the second part of a word,
332
1452539
3704
24:16
something that is added to the end of a word
333
1456326
3837
24:20
quite often to change its meaning.
334
1460397
3003
24:23
So of course you can have a prefix which is at the beginning of the word
335
1463400
5088
24:28
and suffix, which comes at the end of a word.
336
1468555
4337
24:32
So we are looking at the use of some
337
1472976
4905
24:37
as an adjective.
338
1477948
2652
24:40
So by using that particular word, we can change
339
1480600
3487
24:44
certain words into adjectives.
340
1484170
3654
24:48
It is a fun way of using words
341
1488007
3604
24:51
to describe how something appears or its behaviour.
342
1491611
5339
24:57
So we're looking at that a little bit later on.
343
1497033
3287
25:00
A few people have asked, by the way, Mr.
344
1500386
3070
25:03
Duncan, you place something at the end of your live stream.
345
1503456
3420
25:06
It's a lot of puppets saying goodbye.
346
1506876
3470
25:10
What is that all about?
347
1510380
1384
25:11
Well, I will quickly explain that thing that you see the end
348
1511764
4622
25:16
is actually taken from a BBC children's
349
1516469
3837
25:20
programme called The Wooden Tops.
350
1520306
3737
25:24
It was made in the 1950s, 1955, to be honest.
351
1524127
6089
25:30
So that is what you see at the end of my live streams.
352
1530299
4121
25:34
All those little puppets saying goodbye, the wooden tops.
353
1534420
4171
25:38
It only lasted for 26 episodes,
354
1538674
4305
25:43
so it only ran for a few weeks and but,
355
1543045
4271
25:47
but most people remember it of a certain age.
356
1547433
3637
25:51
So it was around a long time ago.
357
1551153
3654
25:54
But, you know, it only ran between 1955 and 1956,
358
1554807
5239
26:00
but a very popular children's programme during that time.
359
1560129
4571
26:04
So that is what it is.
360
1564767
1318
26:06
I'm glad I was able to answer that question
361
1566085
3854
26:09
because sometimes, sometimes these questions do need answering.
362
1569939
3837
26:14
I'm being accused of being lazy. Mr.
363
1574009
2069
26:16
Duncan Why the last time?
364
1576078
1418
26:17
Because I have I drive an automatic car.
365
1577496
3003
26:20
Well, I think but the thing is,
366
1580733
2786
26:23
the thing is, no, I'm going to defend you, Mr.
367
1583519
2219
26:25
Steve.
368
1585738
483
26:26
Well, I was going to defend myself, but go ahead.
369
1586221
1836
26:28
Well, I'm sure I can as well. Okay.
370
1588057
4004
26:32
But a lot of people do these days.
371
1592127
2770
26:34
I think a lot of people prefer automatic transmission on a car.
372
1594897
5555
26:40
So I don't think it's unusual these days to find cars
373
1600536
3203
26:43
that have automatic transmission, even though
374
1603739
3220
26:47
I think it can make you.
375
1607042
3187
26:50
I've always worried that it makes you too
376
1610312
2135
26:52
relaxed when you're driving the car.
377
1612447
3003
26:55
But these days, of course, a lot of cars
378
1615450
3320
26:58
have safety devices to stop you from falling asleep.
379
1618770
4305
27:03
But I think I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
380
1623158
3537
27:06
Well, I do actually prefer a manual car.
381
1626778
4271
27:11
I do actually like driving with a manual car.
382
1631083
2152
27:13
But because my job is sales and I spend,
383
1633235
5071
27:18
you know, all day, every day of the week in the car,
384
1638390
4221
27:22
it becomes very annoying, a manual gearbox
385
1642677
2670
27:25
because it actually after a while you get annoyed,
386
1645347
3003
27:28
you get an aching leg where you where you're having to keep depressing the clutch.
387
1648533
4421
27:33
So because of that, I swapped to an automatic many,
388
1653038
4321
27:37
many years ago, probably about 15 or 20 years ago.
389
1657359
2986
27:40
And it does make driving in heavy traffic a lot easier
390
1660595
5622
27:46
for me.
391
1666301
1435
27:47
I'm sure Lewis probably would might disagree because I would imagine
392
1667736
4904
27:52
Lewis is driving taxis and all conditions for many years, probably with a manual.
393
1672707
5105
27:57
I don't know. Please let us know that for me.
394
1677812
3003
28:01
But I do actually prefer it because you have a bit more control.
395
1681049
3937
28:04
But it was just not out of laziness but out of convenience.
396
1684986
5906
28:10
Yeah.
397
1690892
417
28:11
Just makes it easier when you're in the car all day too, to have that convenience.
398
1691309
4771
28:16
And I think if you're driving long distances these days,
399
1696080
3087
28:19
especially if you go on to the the highway or the motorway
400
1699167
4604
28:23
and you might find that you don't need to keep changing gear anyway.
401
1703855
4221
28:28
So it's, it's, it's quite nice if you're just on a very straight
402
1708176
4104
28:32
road, a fast road, and you don't have to keep changing gear.
403
1712280
3737
28:36
There's no need to worry about that because it's not necessarily is nice.
404
1716100
3420
28:39
It's nice to change gears.
405
1719520
1251
28:40
It just, yeah, I do enjoy it.
406
1720771
2803
28:43
I think I wouldn't like to do it all day, every day.
407
1723574
2903
28:46
If you my job, if you've got a sports car. definitely.
408
1726477
3337
28:49
Now that is a very different situation.
409
1729897
2336
28:52
If you had a sports car or something with a lot of power,
410
1732233
6006
28:58
you've really got to make the most of it with that gearbox.
411
1738322
3721
29:02
I think.
412
1742043
517
29:02
So I can I can understand that definitely the Mustang will definitely be manual.
413
1742560
4254
29:06
I would never, never get a
414
1746897
4121
29:11
an automatic mustang, assuming I ever get one, which probably won't happen.
415
1751102
4087
29:15
It just seems strange that you would have an automatic sports car because I think that's part of the fun.
416
1755256
5572
29:20
Fun? Yeah, that's the fun.
417
1760861
1168
29:22
The the changing the gear and and feeling the engine
418
1762029
3420
29:25
suddenly pull you forwards
419
1765449
3670
29:29
and you are thrust into the back of your seat. Yes.
420
1769186
3387
29:32
As Claudio mentioned, Claudio mentions not Claudio.
421
1772740
5071
29:37
Claudio
422
1777811
2169
29:40
with electric cars.
423
1780047
1051
29:41
Of course you can't.
424
1781098
1084
29:42
They're only automatic.
425
1782182
1202
29:43
You can't get a manual electric car, as far as I'm aware.
426
1783384
4320
29:47
So you won't get any choice.
427
1787704
2336
29:50
So if you if you want a a manual car, then I would say get one now.
428
1790040
6757
29:56
Because when, when, when we're all forced into electric cars, which probably won't happen.
429
1796797
5839
30:02
Okay, then you won't have a you won't have a choice in it.
430
1802636
3971
30:06
I feel I feel like we're heading into a subject we often end up talking about.
431
1806690
5806
30:12
We have an interesting word to look at.
432
1812579
3420
30:16
This is a word that is often used in British English.
433
1816083
3003
30:19
You might have heard it used here on the live stream.
434
1819086
4454
30:23
So here is today's interesting word.
435
1823607
2819
30:26
I think this is an interesting word. Anyway, the word is
436
1826426
4371
30:30
cushy, cushy, cushy, cushy.
437
1830881
3570
30:34
This is often used in English, quite often in British English.
438
1834534
4321
30:38
If something is described as being cushy,
439
1838889
5772
30:44
it is an easy thing, something that is comfortable, well,
440
1844728
5088
30:49
undemanding, simple or effortless.
441
1849899
5256
30:55
So we often use the word cushy when we describing something
442
1855238
4588
30:59
that requires very little effort, very little work.
443
1859826
4354
31:04
Maybe if you have a job, maybe your job is cushy,
444
1864264
5138
31:09
We might say that your job is very easy, very cushy.
445
1869486
5071
31:14
He has a cushy job.
446
1874641
3787
31:18
I sometimes think that Mr.
447
1878661
2403
31:21
Steve's job sometimes is a little cushy,
448
1881064
4204
31:25
but not always because he does have his moments.
449
1885468
3620
31:29
But I think the word cushy is quite a good one, and we do use it
450
1889155
3871
31:33
a lot quite often when we are maybe jealous.
451
1893026
3870
31:37
Yes. Of another person.
452
1897146
2736
31:39
You you
453
1899966
901
31:40
have such a cushy job or you have you've got a cushy life.
454
1900867
5305
31:46
You have. So that could be f could be described as a man.
455
1906172
3637
31:49
Maybe you've got a cushy life where somebody is looking after you all the time.
456
1909809
4938
31:54
Maybe your wife's cooking all your meals for you,
457
1914747
3954
31:58
doing all your washing.
458
1918768
1868
32:00
You don't have to do a lot.
459
1920636
3003
32:03
You've got a cushy life.
460
1923656
1385
32:05
You have.
461
1925041
1835
32:06
Yes. It's almost it's almost implying laziness.
462
1926876
3019
32:09
Yes, in a way, it's almost implying you're a bit lazy.
463
1929895
4321
32:14
You've got a cushy life.
464
1934216
968
32:15
But what it really means is that everything's just easy.
465
1935184
4621
32:19
You don't have to do a lot it.
466
1939889
1751
32:21
Or at least it appears you're not just something, maybe something requires
467
1941640
4438
32:26
very little effort, or maybe something is very easy to do.
468
1946078
4571
32:30
And of course it comes from the word cushion.
469
1950716
3003
32:33
So if something is soft and comfortable.
470
1953719
3003
32:36
So we often describe something that you lie on or sit on as comfortable,
471
1956939
5589
32:42
such as a cushion cushion.
472
1962611
2720
32:45
So something that is cushy is something
473
1965331
3370
32:48
that is is easy to do
474
1968701
2986
32:51
and may be something that you might be jealous of.
475
1971820
4989
32:56
So maybe you have a cushy life. As Mr.
476
1976875
2586
32:59
Steve said, your cushy life is an easy life.
477
1979461
4204
33:03
Everything is done for you.
478
1983665
1435
33:05
Maybe you don't have to worry about the bills.
479
1985100
3086
33:08
Maybe someone else is doing it for you.
480
1988186
2403
33:10
Maybe they are paying for everything.
481
1990589
2169
33:12
You have a very cushy life.
482
1992758
3987
33:16
Yes, maybe it's maybe just a bit too easy.
483
1996745
4655
33:21
But yes, it's usually used in a negative way, isn't it?
484
2001483
4054
33:25
It is often.
485
2005537
901
33:26
When we are attacking someone for having an easy life, it's all right for you.
486
2006438
5972
33:32
It's all right for you sitting there in your cushy
487
2012494
3654
33:36
life, just watching the sport on Saturday afternoon.
488
2016148
3420
33:39
Yes, I'm doing all the housework, the cooking, the cleaning.
489
2019568
3803
33:43
You've got a cushy life.
490
2023438
1351
33:44
You have.
491
2024789
568
33:45
See, the wife might say that. Yeah.
492
2025357
2402
33:47
The wife might get very angry these days.
493
2027759
2252
33:50
It might be the other way round, Of course. Yes, of course.
494
2030011
2703
33:52
You know.
495
2032714
1168
33:53
Yes, but yes, learning from you is cushy.
496
2033882
4104
33:57
Says much tougher.
497
2037986
1068
33:59
That's good.
498
2039054
583
33:59
That must have a lot.
499
2039637
2203
34:01
So it's easy. So you could use that in that context.
500
2041840
3053
34:04
I suppose you could, but but quite often it's used negatively.
501
2044959
3821
34:08
So quite often we use it when a person is having an easy life.
502
2048847
3770
34:12
So maybe one person is looking at another person
503
2052700
3971
34:16
and they view that person is having
504
2056738
3203
34:20
too much comfort in their life.
505
2060008
2819
34:22
So we often use it as a kind of criticism, I suppose.
506
2062827
5255
34:28
So it's I do like to bring up these interesting words and it's sometimes I mean, it's very good to
507
2068082
7074
34:35
sometimes you you we can it's easy to moan
508
2075156
4204
34:39
and complain about your life, isn't it.
509
2079360
2636
34:41
And, but sometimes if you then watch
510
2081996
2803
34:44
a television program and you see what's happening in other countries and
511
2084799
4805
34:49
you know, you're moaning because what we call
512
2089687
2903
34:52
Third World First World problems, okay, where,
513
2092590
4488
34:57
you know, maybe you go to the supermarket and they haven't got the exact bread you want or
514
2097161
5205
35:02
or they haven't got organic milk or something, just very minor.
515
2102450
4688
35:07
And you you get all moaning and complaining.
516
2107138
2469
35:09
So it's a sort of minor inconvenience.
517
2109607
2703
35:12
Mining convenience.
518
2112310
1317
35:13
Whereas, you know, if you lived in another country, you might not even be able to get milk
519
2113627
4622
35:18
or you could be starving or something.
520
2118332
2286
35:20
So somebody looking in your life might say, What are you moaning about?
521
2120618
5639
35:26
You've got a cushy life, you've got a roof over your head,
522
2126257
3453
35:29
you've got clothes, you've got food, you've got plenty of money.
523
2129710
3287
35:32
I think it is possible sometimes, Steve, to feel maybe guilty.
524
2132997
4354
35:37
I do. I'm going to be honest.
525
2137351
2819
35:40
I sometimes feel guilty
526
2140170
2636
35:42
that maybe maybe our lives are all quite easy,
527
2142806
4905
35:47
too, to a certain degree, because we can buy things, we can go to the supermarket.
528
2147795
4854
35:52
We don't have to worry too much about those things.
529
2152649
3003
35:55
And I suppose sometimes I look at the news, especially the news.
530
2155886
4321
36:00
If you watch the news, you see terrible things happening around the world
531
2160424
4104
36:04
and then you you feel a little bit guilty.
532
2164528
3003
36:07
I know I do. Put your life into perspective.
533
2167781
4171
36:12
You know,
534
2172035
534
36:12
sometimes you do need to be thankful for your life
535
2172569
3988
36:16
if it is good compared to somebody else's.
536
2176557
3420
36:19
In some of the other parts that part of that, yes.
537
2179977
2919
36:22
Normally we use cushy in a negative way. Yes, Sophie?
538
2182896
3387
36:26
Yes, we do.
539
2186316
951
36:27
Yes. Quite often when we're criticising another person for having it too easy.
540
2187267
4171
36:31
And I think, I think we do. Anyway, we've got to move.
541
2191438
2169
36:33
You could say about yourself, you could, you could say to yourself, I've got a cushy line,
542
2193607
4120
36:37
and that's not really negative because I mean,
543
2197811
2235
36:40
you might have organised your life and been so good at organising your life
544
2200046
4255
36:44
that you, in fact everything is so well planned and organised that you don't really have any stress.
545
2204367
5289
36:49
So I mean, it doesn't have to be, you know, you somebody might turn so you've got a cushy life
546
2209656
4922
36:54
you have, but you might say yeah but I've organised that, I've planned it, that's the way I have.
547
2214578
4337
36:58
You know, you've been very good at organising your life
548
2218915
3187
37:02
to make it appear to be, you know, fortunate, but yeah, right.
549
2222102
3570
37:05
Let's move on and say we've got to move on
550
2225672
3103
37:08
now. This is, that's quite interesting.
551
2228858
3837
37:12
You might appear to have a very comfortable life,
552
2232779
4388
37:17
especially if you are in a relationship and it's sometimes
553
2237250
4037
37:21
hard to appreciate
554
2241371
3286
37:24
or even understand that even in relationships,
555
2244657
4672
37:29
the two people involve in that relationship
556
2249395
3003
37:32
might not always
557
2252432
2936
37:35
see eye to eye.
558
2255368
3370
37:38
And I think this is interesting.
559
2258821
1802
37:40
So if you are close to another person, if you are in a relationship
560
2260623
4571
37:45
and this this of course, can also be used
561
2265278
3270
37:48
with families as well.
562
2268548
3003
37:51
So So maybe you don't always see eye to eye.
563
2271701
4704
37:56
This means to agree on things.
564
2276489
4421
38:00
And I think I think even with this, I would say
565
2280993
3204
38:04
that there are many things that we do not agree on.
566
2284197
3770
38:08
It doesn't necessarily mean that we get out into the street and have a fight about it.
567
2288050
5889
38:14
It's come very close to that sometimes, but it's never actually happened.
568
2294006
5072
38:19
You'll be pleased to hear.
569
2299078
1652
38:20
So. So there are things sometimes with politics or maybe a certain subject,
570
2300730
5171
38:25
even if you are with that person, you can find
571
2305985
4087
38:30
that there might be some differences.
572
2310156
2702
38:32
And there is a good example.
573
2312858
1585
38:34
We have one of our neighbours and their relationship has been very difficult
574
2314443
5406
38:39
because one person has a strong view
575
2319865
3203
38:43
about leaving the European Union, which is what we did.
576
2323135
4755
38:47
We voted to do it in 2006
577
2327890
2986
38:50
and the other person in the relationship wanted to stay.
578
2330876
4321
38:55
So one person wanted to leave and the other person wanted to stay.
579
2335197
4404
38:59
And it caused a lot of friction,
580
2339668
4755
39:04
friction in the relationship.
581
2344506
2753
39:07
So to see eye to eye means you do
582
2347259
4605
39:11
sort of agree on a certain topic.
583
2351947
4454
39:16
Yes. For a certain subject, Yes.
584
2356468
2503
39:18
You might not see it.
585
2358971
1534
39:20
You see, we see eye to eye when it comes to that decision
586
2360505
4638
39:25
to leave Europe, because we had the same we both wanted to stay.
587
2365143
3504
39:28
So we can say yes.
588
2368647
1268
39:29
Well, we see eye to eye on that subject.
589
2369915
2702
39:32
We do. So we agree on that.
590
2372617
2269
39:34
But we don't see eye to eye maybe on other areas.
591
2374886
3854
39:38
Yes, maybe political
592
2378740
3120
39:41
or it could be
593
2381943
2403
39:44
just on on the decision to what picture to put up in room.
594
2384346
4588
39:48
Yes, But yes.
595
2388934
3303
39:52
Yeah.
596
2392320
301
39:52
If you say you don't see eye to eye with somebody and usually that's
597
2392621
3937
39:56
another phrase that you use in an aggressive way, is it?
598
2396558
3153
39:59
It's normally you're almost you're almost understanding each other
599
2399711
5138
40:04
in a way you're saying, well, we're not going to agree on everything.
600
2404916
2770
40:07
But we you know, we agree.
601
2407686
1101
40:08
We do see eye to eye on this, but we don't see eye to eye on that. Yes.
602
2408787
4104
40:12
And that's how often
603
2412957
2403
40:15
in politics, people, at least if you keep talking, even if you don't agree with each other,
604
2415360
4604
40:19
as long as you can respect the other person's point of view, then you don't always have to see eye
605
2419964
5472
40:25
to eye on everything and other words agree eye to eye means that agreed, isn't it?
606
2425470
5055
40:30
So one of our popular arguments, sir, Mr.
607
2430608
3837
40:34
Steve likes the royal family.
608
2434445
1919
40:36
The British Royal family in.
609
2436364
1985
40:38
Yeah. No way. No, we're not going to.
610
2438349
1218
40:39
We're not arguing about it.
611
2439567
1268
40:40
Now, Steve, this is an example of something.
612
2440835
3053
40:43
It's not the argument actually taking place.
613
2443888
2920
40:46
We're not doing it now.
614
2446808
1501
40:48
But but there are things that you might not see eye to eye on.
615
2448309
3420
40:51
So Mr.
616
2451729
567
40:52
Steve is more towards that particular thing, and I am not
617
2452296
4305
40:56
so towards that particular thing.
618
2456667
2920
40:59
And it's interesting.
619
2459587
1735
41:01
So I think even in relationships, if you're with a person for many years
620
2461322
6156
41:07
or if you know them very well, you can still have a relationship
621
2467645
5606
41:13
and still disagree.
622
2473317
3253
41:16
And and I find that that part of a relationship is always very interesting.
623
2476654
4671
41:21
I always find that quite fascinating.
624
2481325
2653
41:23
And often you can say to somebody, well, we're
625
2483978
2853
41:26
never going to see eye to eye on that. But,
626
2486831
4471
41:31
you know, we're
627
2491385
534
41:31
still friends because you can't always agree
628
2491919
3670
41:35
even if you've got friends or partners, you can't always agree on everything.
629
2495673
4654
41:40
It's impossible.
630
2500327
1218
41:41
And so it's a nice phrase to use, isn't it, to sort of almost diffuse
631
2501545
4388
41:45
a potential conflict situation.
632
2505933
4004
41:50
He said, well, let's let's leave it where it is.
633
2510020
2369
41:52
We're never going to see eye to eye on that.
634
2512389
1669
41:54
But, you know, wouldn't it be lovely.
635
2514058
3003
41:57
Wouldn't it be lovely if everyone
636
2517211
3003
42:00
could could just agree to disagree?
637
2520364
4054
42:04
And I think this is a simple sentence,
638
2524501
2853
42:07
but I think it's also a very powerful sentence as well.
639
2527354
4321
42:11
So if you see eye to eye, but you don't always have do that.
640
2531909
4688
42:16
You don't always have to agree on everything.
641
2536597
1952
42:18
I think this is the pressure that happens quite often
642
2538549
3236
42:21
in relationships, especially a new relationship,
643
2541785
4755
42:26
and it can
644
2546607
1751
42:28
destroy a relationship before it's even started.
645
2548358
4355
42:32
So I think seeing eye to eye
646
2552796
3303
42:36
is a very important part of life.
647
2556183
2702
42:38
Just understanding, even if you don't agree with that person,
648
2558885
4388
42:43
you can still somehow maybe meet in the middle
649
2563356
4221
42:47
and maybe there is some understanding.
650
2567577
3254
42:50
Maybe that's what we need in the world.
651
2570831
1968
42:52
We need more, more understanding, more hugs, more love.
652
2572799
6340
42:59
Not always possible.
653
2579222
834
43:00
Mr. Duncan So yes, you can use that phrase in two ways.
654
2580056
3220
43:03
You see eye to eye with somebody, you agree with them or you don't see eye to eye with them.
655
2583276
5122
43:08
You don't agree with them on a particular subject talking, have eyes and seeing
656
2588548
4972
43:13
Tom is quite taken by your glasses.
657
2593586
3304
43:17
do you like my glasses?
658
2597073
1068
43:18
Like, actually, if you say you're taken by something, it means you like them a lot.
659
2598141
3337
43:21
You are attractive.
660
2601728
984
43:22
And he wants to know what what make they the.
661
2602712
5055
43:27
I think I think they are.
662
2607851
2869
43:30
I think they are Jeff Banks
663
2610720
2853
43:33
But they're very cheap glasses.
664
2613573
2002
43:35
They're not actually that expensive and they are my reading glasses
665
2615575
4721
43:40
just, just to show how old I am now.
666
2620380
4754
43:45
I felt like I was on the side. Yes.
667
2625218
1852
43:47
The Jeff Banks.
668
2627070
1885
43:48
I know they are. Sure. Yeah.
669
2628955
1902
43:50
I get from here.
670
2630857
1802
43:52
But my eyesight is very poor.
671
2632659
3119
43:55
Closer. I think you will find they are Jeff Banks.
672
2635778
2486
43:58
That's the make of the glasses but they are my reading glasses,
673
2638264
5072
44:03
so I have to use these when I'm reading the live chat
674
2643419
3187
44:06
or looking at my big monitor that's in front of me.
675
2646606
3937
44:10
But thank you for your compliment on my Yes, it's fine.
676
2650626
3003
44:13
I always think these types of glasses or spectacles,
677
2653779
4872
44:18
they always make you look quite intelligent.
678
2658718
2619
44:21
So these are sort of scientist glasses.
679
2661337
3270
44:24
I think I'm trying to see what it says on the side that it is.
680
2664607
3987
44:28
Jeff Banks Trust me, that doesn't look like it from here, but.
681
2668594
5823
44:34
Jeff Banks Yes, okay.
682
2674500
1835
44:36
It is.
683
2676335
701
44:37
This isn't right.
684
2677036
1218
44:38
We didn't see eye to eye there, but I was correct.
685
2678254
3270
44:41
Is that's not really a difference of opinion Maybe?
686
2681524
2602
44:44
No, that's that's not a very good example.
687
2684126
3037
44:47
But actually, yes.
688
2687179
2770
44:49
Thanks for joining us today.
689
2689949
1268
44:51
By the if you just joined us you are watching English addict that is Mr.
690
2691217
4220
44:55
Steve over there.
691
2695437
1569
44:57
And over here in this corner, it's me, another human being called Mr.
692
2697006
5305
45:02
Duncan.
693
2702311
517
45:02
And I'm so glad to have you here today.
694
2702828
3203
45:06
We are looking at a certain subject in a moment.
695
2706215
3720
45:09
We are looking at suffixes, suffix
696
2709935
5355
45:15
interesting, all of that, the sussexes.
697
2715357
2736
45:18
Is this a royal thing? It isn't. The royal family.
698
2718093
2786
45:20
No, not the Sussexes.
699
2720879
1352
45:22
No, it's not Sussex, it's specific suffix sic.
700
2722231
4688
45:26
So I thought we were talking about the royal family.
701
2726919
2152
45:29
Never mind to come after or at the end of something.
702
2729071
3487
45:32
All of that coming in a few moments.
703
2732641
1802
45:34
But a lot of people have said, Mr.
704
2734443
1501
45:35
Duncan, can we see more of the cows?
705
2735944
2152
45:38
We want to see the cows.
706
2738096
1752
45:39
We want to see the baby cow getting excited next to Mr.
707
2739848
4371
45:44
Steve. So here we go.
708
2744219
3103
47:12
I'm a big boy now.
709
2832957
2019
47:14
I certainly am.
710
2834976
1835
47:16
This is English addict on a Sunday afternoon.
711
2836811
3019
47:19
Hello there.
712
2839830
2370
47:22
How did it do?
713
2842200
19586
47:41
You know we are back once again.
714
2861869
2870
47:44
It's myself, Mr. Duncan.
715
2864739
2035
47:46
Also Mr. Steve as well.
716
2866774
2219
47:48
English addict.
717
2868993
1051
47:50
Every Sunday next week, of course, as we enter December,
718
2870044
6006
47:56
we are leading towards that magical time of the year.
719
2876133
4688
48:00
Christmas time is coming.
720
2880905
1651
48:02
And of course, we might also be getting some snow as well.
721
2882556
4071
48:06
So we will be keeping a very close eye on the weather forecast
722
2886727
4888
48:11
because if there is some snow, then I'm pretty sure we will be going outside
723
2891699
5472
48:17
to have some fun, maybe build a snowman,
724
2897254
3187
48:20
or perhaps we can throw some snowballs at each other.
725
2900441
2986
48:23
Well, I've been researching and have taken the plunge.
726
2903427
3103
48:26
Taking the plunge.
727
2906530
917
48:27
That means I've done something that is can't be reverse.
728
2907447
5356
48:32
by buying some all season tires.
729
2912886
3420
48:36
okay. For my car.
730
2916456
1969
48:38
That's a good phrase. I've taken the plunge.
731
2918425
1869
48:40
It means you've done something.
732
2920294
1651
48:41
Maybe you were in a bit of doubt about whether you should do it.
733
2921945
5189
48:47
You hadn't got all the facts at your disposal, but you just decided, Well, I'm going to do it anyway.
734
2927134
4421
48:51
You've taken the plunge
735
2931638
2569
48:54
a bit like diving off
736
2934207
2169
48:56
the side of maybe on a diving board.
737
2936376
2553
48:58
You don't know what's going to happen. You're going to hit the water. Anything could happen.
738
2938929
2836
49:01
You've got some knowledge, but not all of it.
739
2941765
1718
49:03
So I've taken the plunge and I've bought some all season tires because I'm out and about a lot now
740
2943483
5155
49:08
and I might get stuck in some snow somewhere and I need to be able to get home to Mr.
741
2948855
3754
49:12
Duncan.
742
2952609
617
49:13
Yes. So we might be getting snow and Mr.
743
2953226
3554
49:16
Steve will be driving around safely with his all season tires.
744
2956780
5689
49:22
I know because I got stuck last year. Mr.
745
2962469
2519
49:24
Duncan and I had to come.
746
2964988
1151
49:26
I got very nearly stuck.
747
2966139
2219
49:28
It was a bit dangerous.
748
2968358
1435
49:29
So summer tires are not ideal when you've got snow.
749
2969793
3003
49:32
By the way, this is interesting.
750
2972979
1735
49:34
Claudia. Hello, Claudia.
751
2974714
1852
49:36
What's Claudia normally doing? When we're on the live stream?
752
2976566
2953
49:39
Claudia is often cooking in the kitchen, but today she's sewing.
753
2979519
5255
49:44
okay.
754
2984858
950
49:45
So that is a departure from what Claudia is normally doing on the live stream.
755
2985808
5673
49:51
So she's selling. I'm intrigued.
756
2991481
2219
49:53
I've got some holes in my socks. I post them to you.
757
2993700
3336
49:57
I was just asking that question. What?
758
2997070
2819
49:59
What are you sewing? Are you repairing something?
759
2999889
3137
50:03
Maybe something that has a hole in, in the bottom of it down?
760
3003126
5672
50:08
Giovanni Olivetti No, I haven't.
761
3008881
3003
50:11
Yes, you can. He's made a good point here.
762
3011968
2619
50:14
You can buy the wheels and the tires together, but I haven't done that.
763
3014587
3971
50:18
I've just purchased the tires because that would be it's going to be too expensive.
764
3018641
5639
50:24
So they're all seasoned so I can leave them on all year round.
765
3024280
3270
50:27
I don't have to change the tires.
766
3027550
3370
50:31
The back ones are worn down.
767
3031003
1585
50:32
So I'm not wasting money. They're the front ones.
768
3032588
3003
50:35
I've got a lot more life in them, but I'm going to change them anyway and I keep them as spare.
769
3035675
4521
50:40
We don't we don't want Mr.
770
3040413
1885
50:42
Steve having any slippages
771
3042298
3103
50:45
or sliding on the road.
772
3045418
3036
50:48
We don't want anything like that.
773
3048454
1802
50:50
We want Mr. Steve to be safe when he's driving.
774
3050256
2669
50:52
Olga says she's often sewing as well while watching the livestream,
775
3052925
3570
50:56
but today she's fully was concentrating,
776
3056495
3971
51:00
hanging on to our every word to Claudia is attaching labels
777
3060549
5556
51:06
to her father's clothing because her father is going somewhere.
778
3066188
3871
51:10
I won't I won't give all the details There, but I know what you are doing there
779
3070059
4254
51:14
and it is something that might take a long time to do.
780
3074313
5038
51:19
I remember when I went to school a long time ago,
781
3079418
4871
51:24
my mother used to put my name inside my clothes
782
3084356
4972
51:29
a little a little label,
783
3089411
2419
51:31
and then she would she would put these shorts, belonged to Duncan
784
3091830
5656
51:37
and maybe the t shirt and the coat, especially the coat,
785
3097569
4989
51:42
because quite often you might put your coat down
786
3102641
2753
51:45
and people won't know whose coat it is.
787
3105394
2736
51:48
And so it'll will say, This coat belongs to Duncan.
788
3108130
2969
51:51
Mr. Duncan.
789
3111099
1135
51:52
He's he's in, he's in one of the other classes.
790
3112234
3670
51:55
Yes. My mother used to sew my name onto my clothes when I went to school.
791
3115987
3754
51:59
By the way, Jemmy from Hong Kong is going to.
792
3119825
3603
52:03
It's going to be his birthday this week.
793
3123428
2002
52:05
we're going to be one year older next by the time he comes on the live stream next Sunday.
794
3125430
4705
52:10
Wow. So happy birthday to you.
795
3130135
2586
52:12
So happy birthday week.
796
3132721
1284
52:14
When is it, though? We need we need the exact date.
797
3134005
3187
52:17
Is it Wednesday? Because you might be live on Wednesday.
798
3137225
2369
52:19
If it is Wednesday, I will be live on Wednesday with you on Wednesday.
799
3139594
5739
52:25
So if it is live or if it is Wednesday,
800
3145417
3153
52:28
I will be live on that particular pretty good.
801
3148586
3487
52:32
See, there we go.
802
3152140
801
52:32
Giovanni.
803
3152941
567
52:33
Yes, In some countries you have to fit winter tires.
804
3153508
4488
52:38
Germany, I know, is one of them, obviously, where you is is another.
805
3158079
4121
52:42
In the UK there is no requirement
806
3162267
3003
52:45
to fit winter tires ever
807
3165420
4004
52:49
so I mean generally the weather is okay here.
808
3169507
6373
52:55
We don't need to.
809
3175947
817
52:56
But some countries are guaranteed snow every year
810
3176764
3437
53:00
like certain parts of France, Switzerland, Switzerland.
811
3180268
4271
53:04
I don't know if it really does it or you won't need to either, aren't you, Giovanni?
812
3184622
3303
53:08
But certainly, as I have to.
813
3188009
2769
53:10
But there is no legal requirement here and the the just isn't.
814
3190778
5005
53:15
But I'm not fitting wintertime as I am fitting all season.
815
3195783
3120
53:19
So so I'm hoping that that will be a good compromise for me.
816
3199087
3687
53:22
So it means I don't have to keep swapping them.
817
3202957
1652
53:24
No, I said there's nothing worse than having to keep swapping your tires on your car.
818
3204609
4437
53:29
And really, when you think about it, Catarina says, Do I use snow chains?
819
3209280
3387
53:32
No, I have.
820
3212667
901
53:33
When I've got stuck before, I've used snow socks.
821
3213568
4154
53:37
Snow socks.
822
3217805
1318
53:39
If you know what they are, they
823
3219123
1018
53:40
if you look about, I won't go into it, but you have to put them over your tie.
824
3220141
3220
53:43
They work very well to get your out of out of the difficult snow chains are actually illegal
825
3223361
5538
53:48
in this country.
826
3228899
851
53:49
You can't actually fit them because they damage the road.
827
3229750
2987
53:52
You know, as I understand it, snow chains, you can't use them.
828
3232870
4621
53:57
You can use them, Mr.
829
3237491
1919
53:59
Duncan, But, you know, you're not supposed to use them on tarmac.
830
3239410
4821
54:04
Obviously, that's the problem because
831
3244231
4905
54:09
they're not illegal.
832
3249220
1918
54:11
But as far as I know, because you can buy them.
833
3251138
3003
54:14
So anyway, we're not going to see eye to eye on that.
834
3254158
2953
54:17
Mr. Duncan
835
3257111
1818
54:18
in the north of Italy.
836
3258929
1118
54:20
Yes. Winter tires, exactly. They would go right.
837
3260047
3353
54:23
Anyway, we've been talking about the royal family, Army, William
838
3263400
3153
54:26
and Kate, the Suffolk, the Sussexes. Yes.
839
3266553
3754
54:30
no. The suffix. Sorry, suffix.
840
3270391
2936
54:33
So let's have a look at today's main subject,
841
3273327
3153
54:36
which is the use of suffixes, but
842
3276480
4488
54:41
particular particular in this instance,
843
3281051
4087
54:45
some using some as a suffix.
844
3285205
5356
54:50
Now this is an interesting part of the English language,
845
3290644
3603
54:54
how you can take one word and turn it into something else.
846
3294247
4939
54:59
So you are constructing a word,
847
3299186
3353
55:02
a new word, by adding another word
848
3302606
3353
55:06
or something that appears to be a word at the end.
849
3306026
3470
55:09
So in this sense we are adding the suffix
850
3309579
3420
55:13
some to certain words.
851
3313083
3186
55:16
So what's the suffix again, Mr..
852
3316269
2119
55:18
I will tell you, Mr.
853
3318388
968
55:19
Steve, we know because you've asked, I will tell you something.
854
3319356
4404
55:23
You would think we've planned this well, if you hadn't said that, we wouldn't need to say that
855
3323944
7457
55:31
a suffix comes at the end of a word.
856
3331468
3436
55:34
So we often put the second syllable.
857
3334988
2719
55:37
For example, it might come at the end of a word, but you want adding that thing.
858
3337707
5172
55:42
So it is also referring to the fact that that word, that
859
3342962
3487
55:46
particular word is being added to the word at the end.
860
3346449
5556
55:52
So you have prefix or prefix
861
3352088
2936
55:55
and you have suffix which comes after.
862
3355024
3521
55:58
So a suffix comes at the end of a word.
863
3358628
4821
56:03
And in this particular sense
864
3363700
3987
56:07
we are using the word some as a suffix.
865
3367687
3904
56:11
And the reason why we do that is because we can form an adjective by doing that.
866
3371591
5105
56:16
So this is an interesting part of English description.
867
3376779
2636
56:19
A word that describes something is an adjective, isn't it?
868
3379415
3721
56:23
That's the appearance of something.
869
3383219
2703
56:25
How it appears, how you can describe it.
870
3385922
2786
56:28
Yes, it yes, yes. It's pretty good.
871
3388708
2803
56:31
So we can use some as a suffix.
872
3391511
3470
56:34
Here are some examples. So
873
3394981
3436
56:38
first example, toothsome.
874
3398501
3904
56:42
So you might describe a person as being toothsome.
875
3402488
4071
56:46
If they show a lot of teeth,
876
3406592
6907
56:53
if they show a lot of teeth, you can say that that person is toothsome.
877
3413582
5322
56:58
Maybe a person has a toothsome smile.
878
3418988
4171
57:03
It means when they smile you can see all of their teeth like this, you see.
879
3423242
6189
57:09
So a person who is toothsome
880
3429515
3704
57:13
is a person who has teeth that are very obvious.
881
3433285
5356
57:18
Maybe when they smile you can describe a person with a toothsome smile.
882
3438657
5656
57:24
It means when they smile you can see their teeth very clearly.
883
3444396
4738
57:29
Wouldn't that would be that be wouldn't be a compliment, really, would it Not nice.
884
3449134
4872
57:34
It's not necessarily a compliment.
885
3454106
2469
57:36
You're very toothsome.
886
3456575
1552
57:38
Yes Well, toothsome is just describing it.
887
3458127
2369
57:40
It's not necessarily being used in a bad way or a good way.
888
3460496
3470
57:44
So a toothsome smile can just mean
889
3464049
2669
57:46
the smile is very big and beaming so you can.
890
3466718
5005
57:51
But maybe if you are talking about the
891
3471723
3637
57:55
the aspects of a person's appearance,
892
3475360
2987
57:58
it might appear to be insulting,
893
3478497
3336
58:01
but this is not necessarily a bad a bad word.
894
3481833
4388
58:06
So you can describe someone who has an has
895
3486455
2769
58:09
as a having a toothsome smile may come.
896
3489224
3237
58:12
Yeah. So it's in between the two.
897
3492494
2936
58:15
Lots of examples.
898
3495430
751
58:16
Coming up in the live chat, Mr.
899
3496181
1285
58:17
Duncan's visit does not go into your list. Yeah,
900
3497466
4270
58:21
I can only go at a certain speed.
901
3501820
2452
58:24
Here's another one.
902
3504272
1085
58:25
Another example Loans.
903
3505357
3904
58:29
you are describing a person who is alone.
904
3509344
4504
58:33
They are lonely, they have no friends.
905
3513932
3270
58:37
They have no one.
906
3517202
1418
58:38
They are loans on their own.
907
3518620
2719
58:41
Something that is singular, something that is isolated.
908
3521339
4605
58:46
Maybe you go to an area
909
3526027
3620
58:49
where there is just one tree growing in a field.
910
3529647
4355
58:54
You might describe the tree as lonesome because it's alone, it's on its own.
911
3534119
6656
59:00
There is nothing else around it.
912
3540775
2803
59:03
And of course we can describe a person who is sitting in the corner
913
3543578
3020
59:06
of the room looking unhappy.
914
3546598
3003
59:09
You are looking lonesome.
915
3549601
1084
59:10
Do you want some company?
916
3550685
2736
59:13
that is a way you could use that in a sentence.
917
3553421
2719
59:16
That sounds like a chatter line.
918
3556140
1719
59:17
Sort of synonym with lonely.
919
3557859
1618
59:19
Well, yeah, you're looking lonely.
920
3559477
2269
59:21
And that looks like a lonely person. A lonesome person.
921
3561746
3520
59:25
So a lonesome we are adding the suffix sum to the end of the word.
922
3565383
7707
59:33
Lone.
923
3573090
1285
59:34
So alone lone on your own becomes lonesome
924
3574375
6140
59:40
to be or to appear lonely.
925
3580598
4121
59:44
here's another one.
926
3584785
701
59:45
This is this is a word that is often used.
927
3585486
3003
59:48
I get that a lot. Mr.
928
3588506
1201
59:49
Do we do get this a lot?
929
3589707
1568
59:51
When people talk about us, they say, have you seen those handsome men?
930
3591275
5222
59:56
They're handsome, very handsome.
931
3596580
2486
59:59
One of them is more handsome than the other, doesn't.
932
3599066
4188
60:03
Thank you, by the way, for that.
933
3603337
1802
60:05
Rhubarb mentions this word, Mr. Slattery.
934
3605139
3236
60:08
Now, so handsome.
935
3608375
3003
60:11
Handsome describes person who is attractive, good looking.
936
3611428
5089
60:16
Now, I would say that this type of thing is is subjective.
937
3616600
5522
60:22
So what is handsome?
938
3622206
2719
60:24
Handsome can be anything, really.
939
3624925
2403
60:27
A handsome man, a handsome prince, maybe.
940
3627328
4988
60:32
What is handsome to one person might not be to another.
941
3632399
4672
60:37
So we often see a person as being attractive.
942
3637137
3621
60:40
We used to be able to say handsome woman.
943
3640841
4021
60:44
It's true.
944
3644945
684
60:45
I'm not joking. Not these days.
945
3645629
2886
60:48
So these days we don't tend to, to use the phrase hands
946
3648515
5289
60:53
usually used to describe a man, an attractive man,
947
3653887
4004
60:57
usually probably with
948
3657958
4871
61:02
manly features.
949
3662913
1284
61:04
I would say someone who is attractive,
950
3664197
3003
61:07
but is, is, is manly because you can get attractive men
951
3667234
6790
61:14
who have a feminine look and they could be described as pretty.
952
3674107
5172
61:19
You can describe a man as pretty.
953
3679346
2052
61:21
But if a man is handsome, then it's probably got
954
3681398
5105
61:26
very typical male features,
955
3686586
2870
61:29
but in proportions that make them look very attractive.
956
3689456
3253
61:32
We often use it as well.
957
3692859
1502
61:34
When we are, we are talking about natural good looks.
958
3694361
3537
61:37
For example, I can I can mention to straight away George Clooney.
959
3697898
5221
61:43
Handsome, handsome, manly, good looking. Yes.
960
3703203
3653
61:46
Tom Cruise.
961
3706923
968
61:47
Tom Cruise.
962
3707891
884
61:48
Well, he's he's kind of in between.
963
3708775
3003
61:51
He's kind of in between because he's handsome, but also pretty as well.
964
3711995
5422
61:57
Yes, but but of course, now he's I think he's the same age as you, isn't he?
965
3717417
5238
62:02
I think he is, yes, exactly.
966
3722739
1585
62:04
We share a lot in common, same age, same sort of, you know, aesthetic qualities.
967
3724324
7274
62:11
But yes.
968
3731681
2452
62:14
Yeah, but I think
969
3734133
1168
62:15
Steve is saying that he he looks like Tom Cruise.
970
3735301
3304
62:18
No, you look like another handsome actor, Bruce Willis.
971
3738605
4904
62:23
Bruce Willis is handsome
972
3743576
2553
62:26
and you look a little bit like him for no apparent reason.
973
3746129
4537
62:30
And handsome doesn't have to be used to describe a man.
974
3750867
3153
62:34
It can be used to describe objects sometimes as well inanimate objects.
975
3754020
5288
62:39
If something is attractive, if it's rarely used,
976
3759392
3770
62:43
it can be used to describe other objects.
977
3763179
3453
62:46
You can have a handsome dog, for example.
978
3766716
2252
62:48
Yes, horses. Horses.
979
3768968
2069
62:51
So you must
980
3771037
2102
62:53
please, please don't get the wrong idea about what we're saying here.
981
3773139
3887
62:57
But you kind of have a handsome horse.
982
3777026
2169
62:59
Yeah, what a handsome beast.
983
3779195
3253
63:02
What a beautiful horse.
984
3782531
1552
63:04
A handsome beast.
985
3784083
2286
63:06
So, so wonderful.
986
3786369
1918
63:08
I can see his withers from here.
987
3788287
3787
63:12
Boris Karloff and Fernandez.
988
3792158
3086
63:15
Things that Boris Karloff was handsome. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.
989
3795244
3287
63:18
I mean, this is generally
990
3798597
3671
63:22
beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
991
3802351
2736
63:25
but there are certain I mean, probably across most cultures, most people would say
992
3805087
5405
63:30
that there are certain actors that a handsome it's sort of recognised
993
3810576
4604
63:35
there are certain proportions in the face that make somebody handsome.
994
3815247
4004
63:39
It's difficult to know what it is.
995
3819335
2485
63:41
But but yeah, yes, it is sometimes subjective as well.
996
3821820
4355
63:46
Yes. Disney.
997
3826258
968
63:47
Here's another one we can say a beautiful man, and yet you can.
998
3827226
3153
63:50
A man can be beautiful usually.
999
3830529
2786
63:53
Yeah, usually.
1000
3833315
1051
63:54
Maybe they have sort of softer feminine features.
1001
3834366
4371
63:58
You could say that they have beautiful, but usually
1002
3838737
3220
64:01
you would describe a woman as beautiful
1003
3841957
3003
64:05
If they're attractive facially
1004
3845127
2352
64:07
and a man is handsome, that's usually.
1005
3847479
2986
64:10
But you could describe a man as beautiful.
1006
3850465
2536
64:13
If they have, probably
1007
3853001
3220
64:16
no who would be described?
1008
3856288
1802
64:18
I can't think of any names, but there are certain people, men who I would certainly describe as beauty.
1009
3858090
5438
64:23
Someone's already given an example.
1010
3863545
2536
64:26
Eddie Redmayne, a very well known actor, appeared in all sorts of things.
1011
3866081
5655
64:31
I think actually one time he did drag as well.
1012
3871736
3154
64:34
Wasn't he dressed as a woman in one of his movies?
1013
3874890
2852
64:37
Yes, Jimmy's got it right.
1014
3877742
1502
64:39
So Eddie Redmayne, he he's kind of he has a soft image, a feminine look.
1015
3879244
6356
64:45
So he's not really macho.
1016
3885600
2553
64:48
He's not handsome. He's he's probably beautiful.
1017
3888153
2969
64:51
So you can be beautiful.
1018
3891122
1619
64:52
I think a man can be beautiful. Yeah.
1019
3892741
2852
64:55
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Again, something I. Yeah.
1020
3895593
2453
64:58
Often been directed at myself.
1021
3898046
2886
65:00
Alain Delon.
1022
3900932
2252
65:03
Alain Delon was a French actor.
1023
3903184
2152
65:05
Yeah. Handsome. Exactly.
1024
3905336
1719
65:07
You would, you would categorise him right in that He's manly,
1025
3907055
4504
65:11
he's good looking, he's handsome.
1026
3911643
2018
65:13
I think he's still around isn't he.
1027
3913661
2069
65:15
I'm sure Alain Delon is, still, is still alive
1028
3915730
3203
65:18
even though I think he's getting on a little bit now is King Charles Handsome says rhubarb.
1029
3918933
4788
65:23
Well you would have.
1030
3923788
2019
65:25
We've got a difference of opinion here.
1031
3925807
1351
65:27
We're not going to see eye to eye.
1032
3927158
1885
65:29
Well, certainly, yes I think you would have described him when he was younger.
1033
3929043
3404
65:32
Maybe now as as as handsome.
1034
3932497
2602
65:35
Yeah, certainly.
1035
3935099
1302
65:36
Yeah, he was good looking, manly, handsome.
1036
3936401
3136
65:39
I would put him in that category.
1037
3939537
1868
65:41
The problem with our royal family genes,
1038
3941405
3871
65:45
especially on the male side, is that
1039
3945359
3370
65:48
they're not the best of the genes, to be honest.
1040
3948729
4738
65:53
They're not.
1041
3953551
717
65:54
They they all have that slightly sort of
1042
3954268
4221
65:58
that appearance for life, and they've all lost their hair as well.
1043
3958556
4421
66:03
Nearly all of them.
1044
3963060
668
66:03
We asked bald men, a handsome, says Giovanni. Exactly.
1045
3963728
3053
66:06
I agree. Okay Yes, Yes.
1046
3966781
4504
66:11
Mustapha
1047
3971369
483
66:11
says it's not a good idea to describe a man as beautiful.
1048
3971852
3003
66:14
Well, you can do. Depends on the culture.
1049
3974855
2636
66:17
I think.
1050
3977491
684
66:18
I think a beautiful man.
1051
3978175
1085
66:19
I think you can be beautiful.
1052
3979260
1384
66:20
Usually you wouldn't.
1053
3980644
1585
66:22
Yes, but there are occasions
1054
3982229
3120
66:25
when you see somebody and.
1055
3985349
3587
66:29
Yeah, soft, soft features.
1056
3989019
2720
66:31
But it may be feminine, but almost beautiful like a woman.
1057
3991739
3970
66:35
But you know that a man you can say.
1058
3995709
1852
66:37
I would not describe myself as handsome.
1059
3997561
2636
66:40
I don't think I'm handsome.
1060
4000197
2069
66:42
I'm probably I've been called many things.
1061
4002266
3203
66:45
I think that depends on the culture.
1062
4005536
1601
66:47
He's another one, Steve.
1063
4007137
1802
66:48
Quarrelsome. Quarrelsome.
1064
4008939
2252
66:51
I think sometimes we can be a little quarrelsome on the live chat.
1065
4011191
4738
66:56
So when we are talking on the live stream, sometimes we have a little argument.
1066
4016013
5255
67:01
Quarrelsome.
1067
4021351
1352
67:02
So a person who likes to argue, a person who often disagrees
1068
4022703
4838
67:07
with others, can be described as quarrelsome.
1069
4027624
4138
67:11
A quarrelsome person.
1070
4031762
1535
67:13
There we go.
1071
4033297
500
67:13
You see, Rhubarb said, Is King Charles handsome?
1072
4033797
3587
67:17
He he did that on purpose for us to discuss, maybe hoping that we would be quarrelsome.
1073
4037467
6156
67:23
because.
1074
4043707
534
67:24
But we're very.
1075
4044241
700
67:24
We're in a good place today mentally, so.
1076
4044941
3270
67:28
But there's not going to be no arguments today.
1077
4048211
2186
67:30
We're relaxed, free. We're happy.
1078
4050397
2602
67:32
The best live stream ever.
1079
4052999
1869
67:34
According to Mr.
1080
4054868
751
67:35
Douglas, this is the best live stream ever.
1081
4055619
1885
67:37
So like.
1082
4057504
634
67:38
Like this live stream is the best one ever today.
1083
4058138
3220
67:41
It's the best one ever.
1084
4061441
1068
67:42
And in all of the years, yes.
1085
4062509
1902
67:44
Giovanni King.
1086
4064411
2903
67:47
The King Charles. His father was handsome.
1087
4067314
2369
67:49
Yes, he was Prince.
1088
4069683
3036
67:52
What was his name?
1089
4072869
1351
67:54
Philip. Philip. That's it.
1090
4074220
1969
67:56
Yeah He was a handsome man. He was handsome. He was tall.
1091
4076189
2970
67:59
I mean, you've got to be if you're going to be a handsome man, you've got to be tall as well.
1092
4079159
5772
68:05
You can have a handsome face.
1093
4085014
2520
68:07
But generally, his sisters,
1094
4087534
1952
68:09
his sister, his sisters married Nazis.
1095
4089486
4004
68:13
Okay, that's a little
1096
4093556
1268
68:14
that's a little unfortunate, by the way, if you will.
1097
4094824
3003
68:17
If you are planning on being a public figure, please make sure
1098
4097944
3053
68:20
that your family members are not are not marrying Nazis.
1099
4100997
4037
68:25
Maybe they didn't know the significance at the time.
1100
4105118
5071
68:30
Who was who was there?
1101
4110273
4187
68:34
blimey, Mr.
1102
4114527
884
68:35
Duncan
1103
4115411
1585
68:36
was that popular spy.
1104
4116996
4321
68:41
my brain is just.
1105
4121401
1284
68:42
We've done an hour of this. An hour already? I'm.
1106
4122685
3003
68:45
I can't think of his name. Mr. Duncan.
1107
4125688
1718
68:47
I have no idea what it might come to me.
1108
4127406
2186
68:49
Let's keep going.
1109
4129592
1418
68:51
We've talked enough about handsome men.
1110
4131010
1435
68:52
I'm getting all excited. James Bond. Yes.
1111
4132445
3336
68:55
Name me somebody.
1112
4135865
1168
68:57
He was James Bond in Ian Lazenby.
1113
4137033
3753
69:00
Well, yes, he was handsome, but I'm thinking of the more popular ones.
1114
4140870
3336
69:04
Roger Moore.
1115
4144290
901
69:05
Roger Moore. He was handsome.
1116
4145191
2185
69:07
And who? Who He was the first. Second.
1117
4147376
2920
69:10
The first James Bond.
1118
4150296
1051
69:11
The first one.
1119
4151347
1284
69:12
A Scottish with a beard. Scorsese with a beard.
1120
4152631
2737
69:15
Sean Connery. Sean Connery.
1121
4155368
1284
69:16
He was handsome. Yeah.
1122
4156652
984
69:17
I mean, I'm not saying that I'm attracted to them.
1123
4157636
3204
69:20
I can just see objectively that they are handsome.
1124
4160906
4021
69:25
I never liked Sean Connery. Isn't it strange?
1125
4165177
3053
69:28
I could never watch him in anything.
1126
4168230
1919
69:30
I don't know why, but Roger Moore, I always liked him.
1127
4170149
3570
69:33
He started off his career as a model.
1128
4173719
3320
69:37
He used to model cardigans for for knitting patterns.
1129
4177106
5422
69:42

1719
69:50
Moore Talking of Roger Moore, we have more uses of his.
1133
4190169
7257
69:57
Another one got some in the live chat as well.
1134
4197426
1918
69:59
I can read some of those out.
1135
4199344
1385
70:00
Maybe it maybe sometimes I can describe Mr.
1136
4200729
2336
70:03
Steve as burdensome,
1137
4203065
3703
70:06
burdensome, something that causes problems
1138
4206835
3737
70:10
or maybe drawbacks, maybe something that is holding you back.
1139
4210656
4621
70:15
Can you give me described as burdensome?
1140
4215360
3187
70:18
A thing that is irritating
1141
4218630
2369
70:20
or annoying is a burden is a heavy burden
1142
4220999
4221
70:25
that holds you back, causes you stress, causes you work?
1143
4225287
5622
70:30
Yes, Effort some burden.
1144
4230992
3437
70:34
If something is a burden, you could you could have a you could you
1145
4234496
3570
70:38
you could have a relation or friend.
1146
4238083
3587
70:41
You could have you.
1147
4241670
817
70:42
You could often sometimes you can describe friends as as burdens or burdensome because they're a bit
1148
4242487
5606
70:48
demanding there with phoning you up or asking you to help them with some things.
1149
4248093
5522
70:53
Borrowing money off you.
1150
4253698
1569
70:55
Yeah, some things like that are a real burden.
1151
4255267
3003
70:58
It's like you're carrying a heavy load
1152
4258270
3687
71:01
around with you all the time and it's sort of weighing you down.
1153
4261957
3002
71:05
That's why I have no friends.
1154
4265076
1835
71:06
I just. I just can't be bothered.
1155
4266911
2920
71:09
Just burdensome burden.
1156
4269898
2319
71:12
Some people keep phoning you in wanting to do and then they want to borrow money.
1157
4272217
5121
71:17
And your words you're picking out here, these aren't really everyday words.
1158
4277338
4121
71:21
Something. Well, these are all using the suffix.
1159
4281543
2752
71:24
Yes, that's right. Yeah. Yes. That's why.
1160
4284295
2736
71:27
I mean, if you want me to use some other words, you want me to.
1161
4287031
2937
71:29
Have you got any more examples of loads. Worrisome.
1162
4289968
3003
71:33
Worrisome a person or a thing that causes you worry?
1163
4293154
4354
71:37
A worrisome thing.
1164
4297592
1685
71:39
A worrisome topic.
1165
4299277
2853
71:42
Worrisome person.
1166
4302130
1351
71:43
Yeah I'm a bit like that. You are.
1167
4303481
1885
71:45
You are very much worrisome.
1168
4305366
2119
71:47
I am.
1169
4307485
934
71:48
I do worry about things that go over in my mind.
1170
4308419
3003
71:51
I chew my nails and I get stressed.
1171
4311422
2619
71:54
Yes, this is true.
1172
4314041
1669
71:55
That's because of you, because you're burdensome. Mr.
1173
4315710
3186
71:58
Giovanni says.
1174
4318980
1051
72:00
I have a word for my colleague now.
1175
4320031
3436
72:03
He is very quarrelsome, a person who always likes to
1176
4323551
4554
72:08
to argue and cause problems.
1177
4328105
3220
72:11
But by making making trouble,
1178
4331409
2936
72:14
making difficulties, they are quarrelsome.
1179
4334345
3870
72:18
Here's another one.
1180
4338299
1501
72:19
this is a nice one, Steve.
1181
4339800
2136
72:21
This is where I get to share my dimples.
1182
4341936
2552
72:24
You see,
1183
4344488
2286
72:26
I'm winsome.
1184
4346857
2069
72:28
We usually usually used to describe a woman.
1185
4348926
3487
72:32
Winsome Yeah, sort of shy.
1186
4352496
3620
72:36
Unassuming.
1187
4356116
1902
72:38
Would you say nothing like that?
1188
4358018
3687
72:41
Winsome usually just
1189
4361789
1752
72:43
usually used to describe a woman such as
1190
4363541
4320
72:47
somebody who would be very gentle,
1191
4367945
3570
72:51
gentle, timid, intrusive,
1192
4371598
2820
72:54
timid, shy.
1193
4374418
3036
72:57
Maybe it's a certain look.
1194
4377454
3003
73:00
It's a certain look
1195
4380607
2753
73:03
not usually used to describe a man, although in Mr.
1196
4383360
2669
73:06
Duncan's case, yes,
1197
4386029
2620
73:08
but in my case, it's May.
1198
4388649
1968
73:10
It's perfectly applicable.
1199
4390617
4188
73:14
Italians and Argentines are quarrelsome, says Fernandes.
1200
4394888
5439
73:20
Yes, well, when we met, you can.
1201
4400410
1769
73:22
You can tell when you hear Italians
1202
4402179
2986
73:25
talking to each other, even normally, it always sounds like they were arguing.
1203
4405165
4171
73:29
Yeah, it's a bit like in China. Chinese people as well.
1204
4409486
3370
73:32
Sometimes when you hear Chinese people talking, you can't tell if they're arguing
1205
4412856
5222
73:38
or just having a conversation because they they tend to get very passionate when they're talking.
1206
4418078
5405
73:43
I do.
1207
4423567
450
73:44
I mean, when we met Beatrice, she was a nightmare, wasn't she?
1208
4424017
2636
73:46
She was.
1209
4426653
1368
73:48
after the
1210
4428088
484
73:48
nightmare we got through, we were thrown out of take.
1211
4428572
4037
73:52
We were thrown out of two cafes
1212
4432676
2736
73:55
because of Beatrice starting arguing with them.
1213
4435412
2702
73:58
She was throwing chairs and causing all sorts of chaos.
1214
4438114
3904
74:02
Yes, these menus are dirty.
1215
4442018
2870
74:04
The floors. Yeah.
1216
4444888
1017
74:05
She was arguing with everyone and we were joking.
1217
4445905
2403
74:08
We're joking. Beatrice.
1218
4448308
1568
74:09
I think bridge is probably fallen asleep of her.
1219
4449876
2903
74:12
Her late night at the wedding.
1220
4452779
3003
74:15
Beatrice is now sleeping off
1221
4455782
4838
74:20
a boozy night at a wedding reception.
1222
4460703
4505
74:25
Maybe Vicenza is giving back to handsome men,
1223
4465291
3220
74:28
which has caused a lot of comment in the live chat show.
1224
4468511
2986
74:31
According to online magazine Nubia,
1225
4471531
3186
74:34
the Chinese actor and singer,
1226
4474801
3003
74:37
you would be able to pronounce that Zhao Jun was,
1227
4477921
5088
74:43
the most handsome man in 2022.
1228
4483076
4638
74:47
So we'll have to look.
1229
4487797
1101
74:48
We'll have look him up
1230
4488898
2102
74:51
and we'll give you our opinion.
1231
4491000
3821
74:54
yeah, I was going to say something then,
1232
4494904
2069
74:56
but it would have got me into a lot of trouble.
1233
4496973
3186
75:00
Right. Okay, let's carry on.
1234
4500243
1568
75:01
It would having over time, by the way, you're getting a bonus, so it's okay.
1235
4501811
3036
75:04
So we'll finish about half past. Don't worry.
1236
4504864
1985
75:06
I'm hungry. Mr. Duncan, I made some bread today actually.
1237
4506849
2603
75:09
Talking of words that people use to describe us, He was another one?
1238
4509452
5622
75:15
Awesome.
1239
4515157
1252
75:16
They say. Mr. Steve.
1240
4516409
1368
75:17
Mr. Duncan, you are awesome.
1241
4517777
2769
75:20
We've had that in the live chat. Thank you.
1242
4520546
2102
75:22
So when we talk about when we talk about old Jemmy,
1243
4522648
3487
75:26
when we talk about or we are talking about being impressed
1244
4526218
5789
75:32
or amazed by something, so a person who is awesome
1245
4532191
5505
75:37
is a person who is outstanding, amazing.
1246
4537780
3620
75:41
They stand out from the crowd.
1247
4541584
2752
75:44
Maybe they do something very well.
1248
4544336
2319
75:46
Maybe they do it professionally and with a lot of expertise.
1249
4546655
4805
75:51
Yes, they do something that impresses people and you think to yourself, I couldn't do that myself.
1250
4551543
7091
75:58
You're awesome.
1251
4558717
1252
75:59
You're absolutely awesome the way that you
1252
4559969
4788
76:04
presented at that meeting today, I couldn't do that.
1253
4564840
2903
76:07
You were awesome.
1254
4567743
2969
76:10
Your performance last night was awesome.
1255
4570712
3454
76:14
I no doubt we will get lots of comments in the live chat about our performance today being awesome.
1256
4574249
5172
76:19
I mean, we get that. We're used to it.
1257
4579571
2519
76:22
It's either awesome or awful.
1258
4582090
2987
76:25
Yes, it's one of those two. Yeah. Yeah.
1259
4585177
2702
76:27
I was joking, of course, But yes, something is awesome.
1260
4587879
3738
76:31
That car is awesome.
1261
4591867
2702
76:34
It can be described objects, people you can use that word in lots of ways on the show.
1262
4594569
5072
76:39
You know, something awesome is amazing.
1263
4599641
2903
76:42
It is.
1264
4602544
1768
76:44
We can also use the suffix
1265
4604312
3003
76:47
sum when we are talking about numbers as well as a number.
1266
4607365
6073
76:53
So you can have a twosome.
1267
4613522
3169
76:56
We are expressing the fact
1268
4616758
1752
76:58
that there are only two people or two things
1269
4618510
2986
77:01
together, so maybe
1270
4621530
2786
77:04
you're having a meeting or a party or a get together
1271
4624316
3887
77:08
and it's very small and private.
1272
4628286
3003
77:11
You have a twosome who will be there?
1273
4631339
3704
77:15
it'll be just myself and you.
1274
4635126
4538
77:19
we're having a twosome.
1275
4639748
1818
77:21
You are together?
1276
4641566
1902
77:23
But there's only two of you. Yes.
1277
4643468
3220
77:26
Then of course,
1278
4646771
2936
77:29
you're going up. I'll be Mr. Don't.
1279
4649707
1635
77:31
Don't say anything by the.
1280
4651342
2019
77:33
I know someone out there is going to say something.
1281
4653361
3187
77:36
You can also have
1282
4656631
4004
77:40
a foursome as well.
1283
4660718
3187
77:43
Foursome?
1284
4663988
1502
77:45
Or a threesome.
1285
4665490
1701
77:47
You can have a threesome. Yes.
1286
4667191
1469
77:48
You know, two threesome.
1287
4668660
1568
77:50
A foursome? Yes. You don't normally say fivesome.
1288
4670228
3003
77:53
It stops at four with with the some.
1289
4673398
3954
77:57
But usually the problem with using the words
1290
4677418
2953
78:00
threesome and foursome is that they're are often
1291
4680371
3187
78:03
those not do that's not I'm just going to explain we've got to explain it
1292
4683641
2686
78:06
because we don't want people using this word and then thinking then they get into trouble.
1293
4686327
3637
78:09
So if you have a threesome, it's quite often seen
1294
4689964
4254
78:14
as something where another person is joining you
1295
4694218
3887
78:18
for a certain type of activity.
1296
4698189
3670
78:21
So it doesn't have to be anything rude, but it could be an event.
1297
4701926
4771
78:26
Or maybe if you're going for a walk and you bring your other friend with you,
1298
4706697
4972
78:31
you go for a threesome know.
1299
4711736
2852
78:34
But Mr.
1300
4714588
417
78:35
Duncan in the UK. But a can. Yes.
1301
4715005
2403
78:37
And they just can't just said yes.
1302
4717408
1568
78:38
It can be used to mean of a thing if you said
1303
4718976
3620
78:42
naughty things, if you said, let's have a threesome. Yes.
1304
4722596
3270
78:45
I've just said I know.
1305
4725866
1302
78:47
Well, I'm just saying.
1306
4727168
867
78:48
It usually implies.
1307
4728035
1535
78:49
Yes, yes, yes.
1308
4729570
2386
78:51
All right. Together. Okay. Steve is sexual. Well, see,
1309
4731956
4487
78:56
that's what you and
1310
4736527
867
78:57
force means, is that you don't normally use those.
1311
4737394
3003
79:00
Okay, well, people, revenue for the week aren't going to happen, Mr.
1312
4740514
4738
79:05
Duncan. Just not go up.
1313
4745252
1318
79:06
Trust me, it's gone. It's over.
1314
4746570
2970
79:09
So as a number, you can have foursome, you can have threesome
1315
4749540
5438
79:15
and you can have this up saying, I'm just saying those words. Mr.
1316
4755062

79:19
Duncan is going to get, you know, this is fine.
1317
4759049
2286
79:21
This is all innocent. This is innocent stuff.
1318
4761335
2519
79:23
So as a number.
1319
4763854
1351
79:25
So that's what we were looking at today, were looking at the suffix
1320
4765205
5139
79:30
that can be used to create adjectives.
1321
4770427
4888
79:35
Right.
1322
4775349
951
79:36
I mentioned some other examples that are coming up in the live chat.
1323
4776300
2585
79:38
Of course you can.
1324
4778885
751
79:39
Mr. Steve Slattery now came up with Wholesome.
1325
4779636
3053
79:42
How wholesome? Yes.
1326
4782839
2286
79:45
What a wholesome person are a person with very high
1327
4785125
3420
79:48
morals, a wholesome person.
1328
4788545
3003
79:51
Or it could be wholesome food, food that is
1329
4791581
4355
79:56
is is natural.
1330
4796019
3237
79:59
Got all the fibre in it.
1331
4799339
1602
80:00
Wholesome food, unprocessed food.
1332
4800941
2936
80:03
What a wholesome meal.
1333
4803877
1652
80:05
It might be something that I know, something with vegetables and a little bit of meat.
1334
4805529
5271
80:10
Or it could be lentils.
1335
4810800
2336
80:13
The wholesome food is usually thought of as health food
1336
4813136
2703
80:15
like lentils, vegetables, everything.
1337
4815839
3386
80:19
So it would be good if you are if you are a person and you are described as wholesome.
1338
4819476
5672
80:25
Yes, it means you are good, honourable, You have good morals.
1339
4825298
4922
80:30
You are a person who can be trusted and relied on for all sorts of things.
1340
4830303
6273
80:36
So that's it.
1341
4836659
1452
80:38
You know, we've had Handsome Jemmy from Hong Kong says,
1342
4838111
3053
80:41
Gruesome, gruesome, gruesome. Who?
1343
4841164
3904
80:45
Yes, gruesome.
1344
4845068
1585
80:46
Something that is gruesome. Yes.
1345
4846653
3370
80:50
Yes, it I mean, that's something that's
1346
4850106
2452
80:52
maybe this blood and gore.
1347
4852558
3921
80:56
It just means something horrific.
1348
4856546
1685
80:58
Something horrific. A gruesome accident.
1349
4858231
3487
81:01
A horrible accident.
1350
4861801
1201
81:03
Just something that is unpleasant to look at.
1351
4863002
3303
81:06
Gruesome.
1352
4866355
1535
81:07
that that that new person at the office.
1353
4867890
2670
81:10
That gruesome.
1354
4870560
1051
81:11
no, you don't.
1355
4871611
750
81:12
You just don't describe a person as gruesome.
1356
4872361
2586
81:14
Well, you can do, but that would be an insult.
1357
4874947
2219
81:17
Yeah, but usually gruesome is used.
1358
4877166
2853
81:20
Maybe you've got sort of blood and guts sharing.
1359
4880019
2419
81:22
Maybe. Yes. I'm just saying is usually something.
1360
4882438
3187
81:25
A gruesome film.
1361
4885741
1435
81:27
It'll be a horror film with with
1362
4887176
3403
81:30
mutilated bodies in case things like that are gruesome.
1363
4890663
3570
81:34
Accident limbs missing, that sort of thing.
1364
4894233
3504
81:37
Maybe if your friend has some gossip about another person,
1365
4897737
3970
81:41
you might say to them, Come on, that.
1366
4901791
3003
81:44
Tell me.
1367
4904827
601
81:45
Tell me all the gruesome details. Yes, that's a good one.
1368
4905428
3536
81:49
It doesn't necessarily have to be horrific.
1369
4909081
3153
81:52
It doesn't have to be horrible, but it might be just all of the interesting details.
1370
4912418
6072
81:58
Give me all the gruesome details. Yes.
1371
4918557
3937
82:02
It means I want to know that's happened.
1372
4922494
2653
82:05
Come on, tell me. I want to know, please.
1373
4925147
4054
82:09
Yes. So it
1374
4929268
550
82:09
doesn't have to necessarily mean, you know, death and things like that.
1375
4929818
4138
82:13
It can be, you know, sort of a messy weekend.
1376
4933956
2919
82:16
There's somebody visually, it's a visual word. Yes.
1377
4936875
3954
82:20
It's describing some of that.
1378
4940829
1285
82:22
You see or experienced.
1379
4942114
3220
82:25
I think we're coming towards the end of today's live stream.
1380
4945417
4054

4955711
684
82:36
It is getting dark outside very early as as winter approaches.
1384
4956395
6006
82:42
It is getting dark and around about normally around about 315.
1385
4962401
5755
82:48
So So by the time we get to 4:00 in the afternoon,
1386
4968240
3937
82:52
at this time of year, it is completely dark.
1387
4972260
2970
82:55
As you can see behind me, some good use of our of our
1388
4975230
5022
83:00
suffixes.
1389
4980335
2669
83:03
Fernandes says New Zealand is an awesome country.
1390
4983004
3087
83:06
Yes, that's a good example to describe a country as awesome.
1391
4986091
3920
83:10
It's mountains, it's got lovely lakes.
1392
4990078
4054
83:14
Maybe it's just an awesome country to visit.
1393
4994132
2820
83:16
It's got lots to see, lots of big sights, things like that.
1394
4996952
5338
83:22
The Grand Canyon is awesome, You know, something of spectacular nature
1395
5002290
6040
83:28
to be stunned by something
1396
5008413
2819
83:31
you see that is awesome.
1397
5011232
3938
83:35
Amazing. Giovanni says.
1398
5015253
1768
83:37
If I went for a simple walk with two of the friends, can I say,
1399
5017021
4422
83:41
let's go for a nice threesome with friends?
1400
5021526
3203
83:44
Can I say it? You can.
1401
5024729
2936
83:47
I think most people realise the context of a suggestion,
1402
5027665
5122
83:52
so I'm pretty sure if you said that
1403
5032870
2720
83:55
in general conversation it would be alright.
1404
5035590
3003
83:58
But we know we know when something is
1405
5038660
3320
84:01
is being suggested that might be something else. So.
1406
5041980
4687
84:06
So that that would be my advice.
1407
5046667
1802
84:08
But generally speaking, generally speaking it is normally
1408
5048469
3721
84:12
avoided to a certain degree because it's got connotations.
1409
5052340
4788
84:17
That's it.
1410
5057161
517
84:17
Anyway with that you know, anyway, you explain that Steve, please give me a like
1411
5057678
5623
84:23
if you like this, if you like him, give him a like
1412
5063367
4238
84:27
if you like me, give me a lovely like as well.
1413
5067688
4838
84:32

5272
84:37

1416
5079850
3270
84:43

1417
5083354
1651
84:45
Was it the best livestream ever That
1418
5085005
3170
84:48

1419
5088175
3637
84:51

1420
5091812

5095232
2119
84:57

1422
5097418
1618
84:59
Was it the best one ever or was it the worst one ever?
1423
5099036
3187
85:02
Maybe it was the worst ever.
1424
5102223
2786
85:05
Was it awesome?
1425
5105009
2352
85:07
I hope it wasn't the worst.
1426
5107361
2002
