Live English From England - 29th July 2018 - Improve Your Listening - Chat with Duncan & Steve

rain rain go away come back another day I don't know about you but sometimes I

find rain to be a real pain a pain is an annoying thing you can feel actual pain

or figurative pain if a person annoys you then you can say that that person is

a pain something that causes inconvenience or disruption is a pain

something that is hard to do can be a pain a person or thing can be a pain in

the neck or a pain in the ass there are phrases connected to rain such as save

it for a rainy day which means to keep something back for when it is really

needed the thing in question is normally money then there is rain on my parade

which means to spoil someone's enjoyment or create a moody atmosphere at a happy

time I wonder if this rain will ever stop

rain rain go away please come back another day

can you guess what the weather is like today go on have a guess

doo-doo-doo-doo it's a Sunday afternoon how are you today yes here we go again

it's another livestream for a Sunday afternoon live from the birthplace of

English that is of course England entire body

this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you okay

I hope so are you happy I really really hope so can I first start by saying that

I won't be needing these today because we have had a lot of rain over the past

48 hours it's been raining so much so it looks as if I won't be needing my

sunglasses although I think I will put them on for one last time just to see

what it feels like to be in the sunshine oh yes I remember I remember what it

felt like it feels it feels quite nice actually when you're out in the sunshine

but sadly the Sun has now disappeared and we've had lots and lots of rain

although having said that it would appear that the Sun is trying to come

out through all of those clouds let's have a look outside here we go

straight away a live view outside you can see all the rain clouds it doesn't

look quite as bright or cheerful as it has over the past four or five weeks

we've had over a month of hot weather but yesterday and also on Friday night

everything changed it became very cool and we had lots of rain just to prove it

here is the rain that we had earlier today for those who don't believe me we

have had so much rain so here's a little bit of it for you to have a look at yes

it's been raining so much this was earlier just to prove that

yes the weather has changed quite dramatically and well what can I say it

was a good summer while it lasted we had a great summer it was all right I

suppose now some people are saying that we might

get lots of hot weather in a few days time after the rain has passed but I'm

not sure you see I'm not sure who can tell nowadays it would appear that the

weather is so unpredictable you really don't know what's going to happen next

it's very hard to judge what the weather is going to do next

so to be honest who knows who knows it might be snowing next week it could be

doing anything so there it is the view outside very wet so that was earlier and

this is now we are now live from England it's mr. Duncan that's me by the way

I've been teaching English on YouTube for over 11 years and I'm here again

today every Sunday as live as this can be it's

true so I suppose I should mention a couple of things first of all one mr.

Steve is here later on don't worry mr. Steve will be here we have some contests

coming up although there won't be any prizes I'm sorry about that I can't

afford prizes but you will get a very special mr. Duncan wave so we have some

little brain teasers coming up we have the mystery object

the mystery object is back by popular demand so we have the mystery object

also we have the mystery chick as well a little baby bird and I want you to guess

or to name the bird that you can see on the screen that coming later on and

today we'll be talking about something that has been in the news once again it

is something that a lot of people are talking about we will be talking all

about drones

there it goes will it come back oh it's coming back

I think someone is spying on me I have a strange feeling that someone is watching

me with drone I'm not quite sure but something is definitely going on so

we'll be talking about drones later on it's also a day for poetry we'll be

talking all about poetry and the reason why I'm doing that is because something

very special happened a couple of days ago on Friday night I had one of my

poems read out on television I'm not joking

so I will be showing you later the moment when I became an internationally

well-known poet also mr. Steve will be talking about poetry and we'll also be

talking about hobbies today so many things to talk about I'm not even sure

if we will have time to fit them all in because we have so much to talk about so

much to mention today not only that we also have you on the live chat as well

tell me mr. Duncan it is my first time here and I will give you a special hello

yes we are live you can see now it is 20 minutes past 2:00 on a Sunday afternoon

here in England and it's mr. Duncan that's me

I teach English on YouTube for those who want to know when I'm on well you can

catch me every Sunday like now from 2 p.m. UK time and also on Wednesday late

and live every Wednesday I like to do something late for those who don't get

the chance to catch me on Sunday so if you can't see me on Sunday then you can

watch me live late on Wednesdays 10 p.m. UK time so don't forget that and this

week I have done some special live streams because we have the heatwave

we've had lots of hot weather so I did some special live streams on my mobile

phone during the week and I hope you enjoyed

those as well I have been so busy this week I have been very very busy doing

all sorts of things I will show you something later well first of all let's

have a look at some nature shall we because you know I love nature so much

and this week there was a baby bird a little tiny bird that had flown into my

window and sadly it wasn't feeling very well so

I just happened to hear the sound book of the bird hitting the window so I got

my camera and I took some video footage and there you can see outside my kitchen

window there it is but do you know what the bird is what is that bird it is a

baby Goldfinch for those who can read the screen it is a baby Goldfinch so

there it is a little injured bird that decided to land near my house after

hitting the window but once again there is some good news the little bird flew

away a few minutes later this is something that happens very often where

I live we do get lots of birds hitting the windows because some of the windows

on my house are quite large so there it is a lovely little baby Goldfinch and

the one thing you might notice is that the Goldfinch when it's young looks very

different from the adult so I'm sure a lot of people would never know that that

was a goldfinch because it doesn't look anything like

the adult so there it was I hope you enjoyed that we also have some more

nature coming a little bit later on some people were just talking about the

crickets yes of course I have my little friend my little friend chirpy

the cricket oh look there's chirpy for those who don't like crickets I'm sorry

about that but there is my little friend chirpy and the other night we were

watching television there was myself and also mr. Steve and we were watching TV

and imagine my surprise when someone on the television said why don't you say

an email to everyone everyone watching why don't you send an email you can send

anything so I decided to go into my studio and type a little poem and I sent

it live to them and can you believe it they actually read it out they read my

poem out and also said hello to me so we'll have a look at that a little bit

later on yes you're right we were watching the Shopping Channel that's the

channel that we were watching and that's where my lovely poem was read out live

we'll have a look at that a little bit later on would you like to hear chirpy

here is chirpy chirping in his little box where is he

come on chirpy where are you here's chirpy so if you don't like crickets

please look away now

hello chirpy can you see chirpy chirpy is now chirping in his box can you hear

him hello chirpy and chirp he wants to say hello to everyone on the livestream

so could you please send your special messages to chirpy and hopefully chirpy

will reply with a little chirp thank you chirpy isn't that lovely so there's

little chirpy saying hello by the way the word chirpy can be used as an

adjective to describe a person who is happy so if a person is happy if their

character is a happy one if they are very jolly we can say that that person

is very chirpy very happy very vibrant they have a very sunny personality they

are very chirpy unfortunately today things are not very sunny as you

can see my t-shirt today represents the rain that we are having so unfortunately

we are experiencing rain at the moment I have been making lessons on YouTube for

a very long time and I thought today we would have a look at some of my lessons

now here is an excerpt from one of my special lessons called full English a

series of lessons taking a close look at the English language so now we are going

to take a look at one of my full English lessons but it's just an excerpt and in

this we are going to talk about the word Nursery also hobbies and I will read a

little poem just for you come on Lady Liberty give us a nice smile

say cheese there can be no doubt about the popularity of photography as a hobby

so many people are taking it up now to take up something means to begin doing

it as a hobby activity or interest a serious hobbyist can be described as an

amateur so a person who takes photographs as a serious hobby can be

described as an amateur photographer it's amazing where a hobby can take you

for example my interest in video cameras and video

photography led me to making these video lessons something I have now been doing

for many years so who knows where that hobby will take you there is nothing

stopping you from taking an enjoyable pastime and turning it into a business

to do something you enjoy can lead you from being a keen amateur to a

successful professional that is of course as long as you keep at

it and never give up do you have any hobbies what interests do you have

isn't it funny how some words have different meanings for example the word

nursery this noun has many meanings it can be a room in a house for the use of

a very young child a child's playroom can be a nursery a nursery can be a

place where children are taken care of during the Working Day a nursery school

a place or natural habitat which breeds or supports animals this lake provides a

vast nursery for fish a nursery is also a place where young plants are grown for

sale or for planting elsewhere I bought this rosebush from the local

nursery the word nursery derives from the old french word for nurse which

itself is derived from the Latin word for nourish

halfway down the stairs is a step where I sit there isn't any other step quite

like it I'm not at the bottom I'm not at the top so this is the stair where I

always stop halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down it isn't in the

nursery it isn't in the town and all sorts of funny thoughts run round my

head it isn't really anywhere it's somewhere

else instead halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit there isn't any

other stair quite like it I'm not at the bottom I'm not at the top so this is the

stair where I always stop

doot-doot I hope you enjoyed that an excerpt from one of my full English

lessons would you like to have a look outside because the weather is actually

becoming quite nice now so just outside let's have a look I

think the Sun is trying to break through the clouds I think it's trying its best

let's have a look mmm there it is a live shot now you can see it's very windy but

I think those clouds are moving quite quickly now and I think the Sun is

trying to break through it really is whether it will succeed is well quite

unlikely at the moment because I think we're going to get lots more rain later

on I'm wondering how long I can carry on talking before mr. Steve arrives so I'm

not really sure how long he's going to be but I'm hoping it won't be very long

so I think he's gonna issues just shouted 30 seconds I don't know what mr.

Steve is doing so let's have a look in the garden because there are some birds

on the bird feeder at the moment there it is and that is a live shot of the

birds on the bird feeder there aren't many there at the moment

because mr. Steve is by the window so I think he keeps I think he keeps scaring

them away so there you can see the birds and once again looking into the distance

there is the view today very cloudy sadly the Sun has gone there is not a

ray of sunshine anywhere at the moment but hopefully later we might get a

little bit of sunshine the other thing I'm waiting for of course is mr. Steve

to come into the studio I don't know where he is

oh here he comes now everyone mr. Steve is on his way

I'll tell you something I will tell you something right now I'm becoming so

professional did you see that then the way I I filled in if you have to fill in

sometimes you have to just do something until the thing you're waiting for

occurs so I was filling in there it is a Sunday afternoon it's mr. Duncan that's

me on YouTube and here he comes now mr. Steve bearing food because I feel so

hungry mr. Steve is here everybody hello I brought you a tea cake mr. Duncan

because it looks like you're going to eat something during every livestream

I'm so hungry today I brought you this no I brought you a livestream yes they

want you alive on air TK a life's you've brought me a live stream yes I have a

live TK it's hot so you better eat it it's very hot now we got complaints last

week about about eating about eating during the livestream

so what I'm going to do instead I'm going to use my special fake smile

whilst I eat so people can't see that I'm eating is that a good idea

well can you hold it up and eat at the same time yes is the this is the

question I know I do fortunately I have two hands you see I'm

very lucky that I have two hands so I can use this hand to grab this and I can

use this hand to grab this and then I will put this here and then I will put

this into my mouth I still think it's rude that you should be eating live on

air with all your lovely viewers watching you but I'm hungry I'm hungry

what why didn't you eat before you come on air mr. dunk because I don't have

time because I'm busy preparing everything so what I'm going to do now

I'm going to eat a little bit of food mr. Steve is here oh I've just

remembered something on Wednesday Steve

was complaining you were complaining on Wednesday what were you complaining

about I didn't think the light was flattering enough so okay then I tell

you what I've done I've arranged some special lighting for mr. Steve so here

is mr. Steve special light because he was complaining the other night that

there wasn't enough light so wait there a second I'm just going to get the mr.

Steve's personal light my beauty light is that what it is mr. Duncan okay there

we go oh that's just a little too much mr. Duncan there it is oh you look great

now oh I look 21 21 today 21 today I feel ever so ever so lovely so there we

go is that better well I don't know let's let the viewers

think do I look flattering in this light sit these how you going to hold that

lamp and eat and hold that smile in front of you all at the same time I must

admit I didn't think this through by the way that's gonna go cold you better

hurry up Ernie you can put that down mr. Duncan I feel a little over lit Oh over

lit mr. Duncan anyway it's nice to be here again what do what have you been

talking about mr. Duncan before I say hello to everybody out there in the

world wide web of English right well that's the glass the quietest he's been

since last Wednesday so I suppose miracles do happen sometimes when mr.

Duncan has food stuff in his face at least it means you can't talk which

sometimes is a benefit do you want me to put that down because I feel as though I

can't even see the screens anymore I've really got my hands full not for the

first time today right I think we ought to get rid of

that mr. Duncan it's a little on the bright side look you were complaining

the other night you said the light was awful so there we go have you got your

own personal life by the way this thing is called a beauty dish

this particular light it's called a beauty dish okay do you know why

well the clue is probably in the name does it give very flattering light onto

your skin and thus iron out and and and just bleach out all the wrinkles hmm is

that what it does Latins the contours of the face which then gives you a a much

more pleasing appearance well let the viewers be the judge of

that so there we go I put your arms aching mr. dent can we

haven't hit the live chat where there I I haven't got anything else that I can

use to press wait there a second he's put in the flattering right down and

he's eating and he's holding that that fake smile in front of his face I'm

sorry we are going to just have to make do with mr. Steve sort of contours and

wrinkles and bumps I'm sorry about that the live chat by the way is on there

well I can't see it hmm here's the live chat boys and girls oh look mr. Duncan

is by Manuel I'm sorry to just go up of it I'm what according to stop back it's

like the golden shot there we go Kara des says that you are by Manuel but no

that's just a rumor that's just a rumor by the newsroom the newspapers started

that rumor I'm not I'm not by anything TSS I look like a lamp bulb well mr.

Duncan sometimes think that cos describes my face as a moon face oh yes

at the moment especially where mr. Steve has been doing exercise he actually

looks like the Blood Moon because he goes very red Nicole wants us to lecture

p3 in the garden the only problem is that we don't want lots of crickets to

be breeding outside our house because then it'll be a nightmare with the sound

interesting if we had a friend round yesterday yeah we don't care about that

I know but he was talking about if you want to annoy your neighbors throat

crickets into their garden but they're so noisy but be able to sleep with the

with the windows oh what a lovely human being Sergio says had a gorgeous out

Thank You Sergio that's more important that the live chat is more important

Sergio hang hand thank you very much Sergio let's go back

a bit uh-oh I feel hungry now Frederika has

been watching me eat my tea cake it's delicious by the way

and and the good thing is I can now the good thing is I can show the live chat

on the screen and I can still eat and no one will know that I'm eating yeah but

they will because while you're eating you won't be talking and you're also

making lots of hideous noises man a says hello hello man ahh

yes ts I am very kind because I'm looking after mr. Duncan by giving him a

tea cake mmm so that his blood sugar levels don't drop mmm Bella's hungry now

Rodriquez hungry you're making everybody hungry I'd like I'd like to make tea

cakes for everybody but unfortunately I can't Carla says my head is hanging on

the desk have I been beheaded oh yes this is the

the cut out of me that mr. Duncan put on a football a couple of weeks ago and I

wasn't here for the live chat on one particular Wednesday and he was feeling

sad so he made a cardboard cutout of me yeah and there it is now behind hmm so

as we as we said on Wednesday these are available for sale mm-hmm if you want to

buy mr. Steeves face maybe you can put it near the fireplace or near a

dangerous object to keep the children away hello lemon tree hello man oh yes I

said that already oh yes right hmm mr. Duncan keeps going

the wrong way on the live chat no I don't feel hungry because I had a tea

cake before I came on live I've been going the wrong way for you

is oh look em Seska Osmo hmm is in Buckinghamshire oh very posh all right

now it's it's raining here as well mm-hmm and Jeff says that I'm all set

for my holiday I am he's got a use of the word setting again

but I think it's a repetition hmm of the use of the word set so yeses to be set

for something means you are ready and prepared this I know but Jeff's used

that example of of the use of the word set before but it doesn't matter because

you've got it in and that's all the cans the important thing is to get it in as

long as you get it in that's all that matters hi Martha

in Poland oh hello Martha Pollan Anna wants to know the recipe of the tea cake

well Anna we didn't make the tea cakes we bought them hmm from the local bakers

but tea cakes is basically just ordinary bread which is so wheat obviously with

some yeast in it you can make them yourself quite easily and you just put

some sugar in it and some raisins or currants mm-hmm and there you go you've

got you've got tea cakes form them into a nice sort of that shape and there you

go sultanas in this one mm-hmm I said I wasn't going to keep saying

there you go hmm didn't I you said it you said there you go about 20 times so

far have I hmm Sergio says it's a Frankenstein light it is not a

Frankenstein well I've been talking about today mr. Duncan I've been talking

about feeling hungry I've been talking about the rain because sadly the heat

wave is over the heat wave unfortunately vova vova Jochen is watching on my

honour oh sorry it's it's Olga hello Olga nice

to see you again Olga I'm watching you on my son's tablet Vova that's a good I

like that name hmm Vova Jochen yes that's a nice flowing name if

shows off your tongue volve a lot volva yok yolking was it did

Vova over or vah vah vah vo kin hmm did you see they liked that name did you see

the red moon we didn't because it was cloudy we've had so much cloud and rain

so unfortunately on Friday we had lots of cloud in the sky so we couldn't see

the red moon or as some people refer to it as the Blood Moon

Bella's eating sunflower seeds oh I like sunflower seeds as well and and that

you've got other types of seed haven't you as well hmm I've got lots of seed I

like to ship the seed in my mouth and let it go around for a while I like to

chew on it one of those other seeds that you eat you've got some fancy thump

contingencies that's it pumpkin seeds fella that's what you want some pumpkin

pumpkin seeds as well I can't get my words out today hmm

although you seem to have no problem is there you go

Nicole have you been talking about hobbies it looks like you've been

reading the live chat I would deduce that you've been talking about hobbies

and you've been talking about something else something else we have been talking

about something else you're right poetry hmm poetry and hobbies yes this

is your hobby poetry something we want to talk about today hmm

whose hobbies do you have a hobby out there do you have something you'd like

to do in your spare time there are many words that you can use to mean hobby

such as Steve q Steve Wright I've got a piece of paper here lots of hobbies but

what are your my hobbies I everybody knows I like to sing like the coldest I

like to do amateur dramatics I like to do gardening I used to like doing

electronics or chemists and chemistry experiments and all sorts of things like

that let's look at the the definition of hobby shall record into the dictionary

okay it says here that it it is a hobby is an activity or interest an enthusiasm

or a pastime undertaken for relaxation or pleasure done during your spare time

so it's anything outside work hours that you do for relaxation or pleasure hmm

some of this some of these hobbies have lots of they're very well organized

they've got organizations haven't they in membership associations that go with

them mr. Duncan used a popular a pastime hobby for you was what was amateur radio

was it not you used to do how amateur radio Hospital radios

amateur radio I live the way you say amateur I don't think they call it

amateur radio well it just means you're getting radio you're not being paid for

it you're getting confused with a person that listens to radio signals from

around the world now they are called amateur radio enthusiasts or of course

ham radio have you ever heard of that I have I've heard a chicken radio as well

and beef radio and ham radio hmm sausage radio that's another one yeah these are

great jokes I think we need we need the crickets to come and chirp over these

don't hear them from here they're putting me off I can't get the words out

today mr. Dingwell normally when you have a terrible joke you see if you have

a terrible joke normally you'll play the sound of crickets so so this is just for

mr. Steve's terrible joke this

thank you for that mr. dink so when a whenever mr. Steve tells a terrible joke

we will have chirpy to make the sound of the emptiness in the air because no one

is laughing well it's been shown that as well hobbies are very good for your sort

of mental well-being to make you feel good about yourself mm-hmm so you

achieve something in your spare time and it's it's good for work as well because

if you're doing your hobbies in the evening you're taking your mind off work

at the weekend and then you go to work on Monday refreshed and giving your all

to your employer assuming you enjoy your job there are an

endless list of hobbies but how about some I mean you might like doing puzzles

you might like reading you might like soap making that's a hobby Gaming

drawing dancing sport who that who is making their own soap it is a listed

hobby and a list of hobbies that I read on the Internet

soap making well I know somebody that did use to make soap they used to get

all the little bits of soap listen you know when you've got a bar of soap

although these days of course people don't tend to buy bars of soap because

it all tends to be liquid soap doesn't it now but when bars of soap were very

popular maybe they are still in in some of the countries where people are

watching when you've been using the soap for a while you end up with this little

little piece of soap left which you can't get much lava out of well some

people collect all those little bits and then they squash them and foot make them

into a new big bar of soap that sounds that sounds disgusting so you've got to

be I did have a go at making soap once that's like that's like saying that's

like saying when I use toilet paper to wipe me bum there's a little bit left on

the end where there isn't any poo on it and I always tear that off and I save it

and then I use it for the next time I need it so so yeah

putting all of the old soap together to make a new piece of soap that's

disgusting I I dude I can't remember how I used to do it now I did I did make

soap yeah it's caustic soda oh goodness you

used to do it yes but not from those little sliver slivers of so I like a

liver which has a small Zoe's left oh who didn't use the old soap i I used it

from now it's you mix caustic soda with something else I can't remember what it

is is it glycerine something like that I don't know I know caustic soda and fat

I've never made my own that's how you do caustic soda yeah and fat or oil mix

them together heat it up and the reaction takes place and you get left

with soap okay that's how they make it this is fascinating I I bet I bet you're

glad now that you canceled all of your activities and engagement or your

hobbies all of your hobbies so I'm glad you put everything on hold I bet you

feel really pleased now so you could hear mr. Steve talking about how to make

your own soap well you might want to do that it was it's in caustic soda as a

bit as the word suggests caustic it can just sort of corrode your skin it's very

nasty so I wouldn't recommend it here are some very British hobbies hmm

because no wonder mr. Duncan is putting on weight when he's eating have you

noticed all the unhealthy foods mr. Duncan you are very easily distracted

high calorific foods carbohydrates fats sugars mr. Duncan lives on that is it

any wonder he looks 20 years older than me I think that he's actually younger I

think that might be the other way round yes it's my birthday next one of your

hobbies of course is to eat chocolate taste I would actually describe that as

a hobby of yours this is the last time activity this is the last one this is

the last show that we're doing in July so the next time we appear on Wednesday

it will be the first of August and we all know what happens

when August appears do we yeah I don't yes because to start celebrating your

birthday it's my birthday in August

we'll have a look in a minute to see if people are telling us what they have is

our but here are some very British hobbies hobbies that you would associate

strongly with British people is it saving your own toilet paper possibly

bird-watching bird-watching is I mean lots of people will probably do these

around the world but these are a sort of associated with British people what they

like to do in their spare time because hobbies and developing yourself and

making the most of your abilities is what a hobby is all about because quite

often where have I gone mr. Duncan oh yeah what you're looking at the birds

there we go where you're talking about bird-watching that's it if you've got

plenty of spare time then then you can take up a hobby and quite often people

you see have to work don't they to earn a living

mmm-hmm they might not necessarily want to spend eight hours of their day in

their job but they have to do it because they have to earn a living to pay the

mortgage pay the food bring up the children pay for holiday savings

pensions all that sort of thing work always comes first and few people I

would say I think the majority of people work because they have to work they

don't necessarily really enjoy it but you have to do it to earn a living and

then in your spare time you do the things you really want to do unless

you're me which are the hobbies but they don't necessarily make any money for you

although people can turn hobbies into businesses yes like you have really well

I did I used to but but now that but now being on YouTube it has become sort of a

voluntary thing so if you pass in the past you used to earn not not a lot of

money I wasn't a millionaire but I used to earn something that would allow

me to live and continue with my were thousandaire yes okay I'm just trying to

talk now so that's it keep that on there I'm keeping that I'm making faces behind

here that's good so yes nowadays making a living on

YouTube earning something that is like a salary is very difficult to do so now I

say that that this is the most difficult and complex way to make no money

whatsoever and that's what it is doing this so I don't really get paid anymore

by YouTube that I get little bits and pieces now and again so that's mr.

Duncan's on his soapbox that's what the situation is at the Maui soup so I

really feel sorry of people who are just creating their YouTube account and they

think they're going to be the next PewDiePie they think they're going to be

the next big thing on YouTube and the chances are you're not I wouldn't bother

I would just go and do something else take up another hobby like mr. Duncan

that's been very negative like bird-watching that's very negative

because if you are an attractive woman with certain assets okay

then I think you'll probably do very well on YouTube is a bit sexist but it's

true though isn't it you're sexist right here we go misogynist very British

hobbies we've had no I don't hate women making an observational comment I'm

gonna complain now I mean you keep telling me this is what you keep telling

me mr. Duncan the only the only people that are successful in YouTube now are

women with big breasts I'm putting it on you keep telling I'm now going to put a

complaint into YouTube about about the livestream that I'm actually in I don't

think anyone's ever done that before where they've actually complained about

their own livestream dear YouTube I just heard someone called mr. Steve make a

sexist comment he said big breasts please can you come round and take mr.

Steve away please please do that I won't have

to do these every week tuck him up take him to the Google funny farm I've

already been there it's not but not much fun I was I'm keeping directing me I'm

talking about very British hobbies British hobbies

bird-watching we've had knitting knitting is is a common pastime it used

to be I don't think it is anymore rambling rambling that's something you

do a lot rambling I don't mean talking on and on about nothing that's that's

rambling when you keep talking about something boring Lee and it's not very

interesting I'm talking about rambling which is a pastime where people walk in

sort of outdoor places don't they sort of in woods as they haven't Heath land

people who go walking casually they they ramble they ramble if they've probably

got a rucksack and they're probably going from one picturesque town to the

other and they're going through countryside they're not sticking to the

the easy walking path they walk they're going through woods and maybe it's a

little bit more challenging and they're probably using a compass and a map and

you know it's it's not just leisurely walking I think Ram I think nowadays

they just use a Sat Nav yes but but you could go for a walk and you're just so

okay I'm going on this walk now hello hello phone tell me where to go I want I

want to go somewhere please give me directions and then the phone can tell

you but a Rambler would would never use a phone they would use they would use a

compass and a map those people that do that a bit old-fashioned it is but

that's what rambling is Trainspotting do they still have guests lamps in their

house Trainspotting Trainspotting oh yes used to be a very British pastime oh you

love me you will look out so it's a little bit like bird-watching

but we've trained with trains and people have a book and they write down the

number of the train and then that train is going all over the current

then they see where it is next and they write it all down in a book

would it be fair to say that would it be fair to say that these people are not

married I don't think I don't know two people still do Trainspotting I think

they do not okay not many stamp collecting damp

collecting a very British hobby where people who don't go out much sit at home

and collect stamps these sound like real 21st century hobbies and they're really

well they're just very British hobbies bell ringing bell ringing people

actually do they go to churches can penology can penology look if you can

look if you're gonna start insulting me again look I know I'm a bit camp analogy

I can't help it can penology is that is the that is the name given to people who

like bell ringing off but yes they they go to churches and they pull on the

bells and they make the bells ring Hey or it might be the the handheld ones and

they do this in a sequence or look with a row of people right they form - are

you sure that's what it is Alice it looks like you're milking a cow bell

ringing is though is still a relatively popular hobby yeah for people that live

in villages I would imagine in Much Wenlock there is probably a bell ringing

Society there was a friend of mine that that had no arms but he wanted to be a

bell ringer and one day he went for an interview with the local church and they

said look we'll we'll let you do the job for a week but we're not sure whether

you're suitable anyway the first day that he tries to do the job he goes up

where the bellies and he runs at it and he smashes into it smashes right into it

he's using his hair but hair does that clapper yes if you just wait a moment

just just just wait wait there's something happening at that cricket

ready this is a happening you see this is some

a joke get the cricket ready and he steps back and falls out at the bell

tower he falls all away and he's dead and all the people gather round and

they're not sure what is going on and then one person goes to the local vicar

who had interviewed this guy and the stranger says do you know who this

person is and the vicar says I don't know his name

but his face rings a bell can I can I bring up that cricket because I think

that deserves the the cricket that was a long rambling joke mister don't tell me

you could have said it in half the time don't you dare touch my equipment mr.

mr. mr. Steve is not allowed to touch my equipment anymore because the last time

he touched something it broke off that's because it had a horrible disease anyway

that's another story pigeon fancying hilarious hidden fancy

okay my joke was funny wasn't everyone's everyone's look are you a pigeon fancy

imagine people like that people like that joke they said let you have funny

you are funny thank you very much look the live chat rolling up they all

appreciate my humour they're all they're all just humoring you they don't really

they're not really laughing it's a well that is the point of humour

I mean to make people feel happy whether they are really feeling home in ego

Gallo says funny guys you are that sounds like Yoda would speak that one

that sounds like I don't know that sounds like a fun you guys but Yoda on a

style Star Wars would say funny guys gosh rule there we go

funny car that's probably because in ego whatever his language is actually the

words are in a different order or sentence they are in English whatever

imagine whatever your language is that's great there we go I don't know Steve I

am so interested in these hobbies please continue with your list well I was

trying to mr. day a very another sort of English very English hobby is pigeon

fancying oh hey hi there hi you're very sexy you're you're a very sexy pigeon

it's not that kind of fancy come on let's go back to it's not a sort of an a

sexual attraction to let it's not someone that's sexually attracted to

pigeon come on pigeon come on give me kiss hmm it just means people who like

pigeons and they they breed them in sheds in their garden and then they take

them all out and they've let them fly and then they come back after a few

hours and they they they call them pigeon fanciers they fancy pigeons they

just like pigeon I used to know a sheep fancier he fancied sheep I think before

we used to use the word fancy to mean to be sexually attracted towards some yes

it means you are you you find something attractive you fancy it or something

that you actually want yeah I am trying to explain it we keep putting in that's

never mind flower arranging that's another very British hobby I'm sure

people do it all around the world but flower arranging flower arranging or in

your place you're very good at flower killing no I'm very good at flower

growing mr. Steve has just killed his Dahlia it's dating wrong with it it is

nothing wrong with my daylian isn't dead it's a dead it's an ex Dahlia what about

hobbies now this is an interesting point if you are applying for a job and

normally on the bottom of the CV somewhere

you will list your hobbies hmm or your interests okay

which is something that people commonly do on their CV when they're applying for

a job okay but there are certain hobbies or

pastimes that look good on a CV and others that don't look good on a CV and

you should probably be not put on a CV even if you're doing them yes because of

the impression it will make toward your employer so there are certain cultural

employer there are certain hobbies then you probably shouldn't do or you

shouldn't tell people about so maybe you like to hide in the bush in the local

town park and take photographs of the lovely ladies so that's out a hobby that

that's a hobby that you probably shouldn't tell people about well should

we talk about the ones that do look good on your CV food ok the ones that do look

good the ones that look good on your CV is anything to do with sports ok really

if you put down that you play football any sort of competitive sport or you're

the local team captain for the rugby or hockey or you do skydiving or the

competitive cycling anything like that tells an employer potential employer

that ah here's somebody who's driven who wants to be successful he's driven by a

success he is a leader somebody we can have in our organization they'll move

forward so things like that extreme sports it says that you you're willing

to take a risk so if you if you like paragliding or parachuting then that was

saying - and so if you're applying for a job involved in in in sort of sort of

sales or something where it requires you to sort of push the limits or the

boundaries any sort of hobby that shows that you do that in your spare time will

indicate to your employee that you might be very good at the job I can sum this

up in one word endurance endurance what you're going to use so that you can you

can say that you are a person who enjoys in

Durin's you can do something that requires a lot of physical activity or

energy it also says that you are quite a fit strong person well it's more saying

that you're a sort of you're the sort of person that is willing to push

themselves so if you for example go mountain biking or you do 100-mile bike

rides us potentially that saying to an employer well that person you might

might be quite a good person to have here because you know he sort of pushes

the limits he's not afraid to do sort of dangerous activities so he's a bit of a

leader somebody that we wanted are organized we might need someone one day

to climb a mountain for us it's just what it's saying about you something

that doesn't look on a good something that doesn't look good on a CV which you

actually often do see and I've seen it cuz I have interviewed people mm-hmm

you know in a past life and another job I was doing and people put on one of

their hobbies is reading yes people often put reading down on a CV that's

all right it's not what reading is not a good idea to tell people so if you say I

enjoy reading not on a CV okay but I suppose it depends I mean if you're if

you're applying to be to work in a library

it might look quite good that you actually enjoyed reading as a hobby okay

so if it's relevant if it's relevant to the job it's relevant to the job so if

you're doing it writing a CV think of the things the hobbies that you like

doing and make it relevant to the job that you're doing whatever so if you

employed to be a public speaker you know your or a conference organiser something

that involved having to have lots of people and being involved with people

and organising things you wouldn't put down that you liked reading as a hobby

because that would immediately say well reading is a very solitary activity you

sort of on your own it's not really giving the impression to your employer

that you're a bit of a you're a team person and anyway everyone can read

so it's not really showing I think I think that's open for debate

well if you're applying for a job I'm talking about you wouldn't apply for a

job if you couldn't read so how would you write your CV if you

couldn't read well that's what I'm saying so if you put reading down

everyone can read so it's not really saying that you can do anything special

or anything different and yes it may say that you're well-read

which means that you have a knowledge of a wide base of subject of course you

could lie you could lie you could say i'm a i-i-i-i enjoy my hobby is being an

astronaut now and again I like to go to the moon and have a little walk around

you just being silly NamUs I like to I like to walk around the craters and and

it's very good exercise because on the moon is zero gravity so it doesn't

matter how fat you are on the moon you still float around fascinating mr.

Duncan fascinating but anyway I've looked it up and it says don't put

reading everywhere you look about Seavey's it says don't put reading down

it never looks good unless you want to work in a library so there you go so

what hobbies are do people doing I want to see some examples of hobbies that

people are doing today's issue isn't particular says per Shona

we're wasting pashtun as time are we wasting your time maybe you ought to get

back to your hobbies yes by pashto know your hobbies are by by if it's boring

you can go away bye see you well what hobbies have we got anybody talking

about that hobbies today no bubbles because you've been talking for most of

the time well you're supposed to be keeping an eye on the live chat okay

here we go the live chat is now under somebody new

we've got a men Faton hello follow this channel so welcome hello amen welcome to

my live English this is live and it is nothing like anything else

that you have ever seen on the Internet certainly as far as learning English is

concerned so there are no whiteboards there's no one pointing to the sky and

showing you words it's mr. Steve he is my loyal assistant and I am the

mad professor mr. Duncan all right or did you want to talk about next mr.

Duncan well we're talking about hobbies so do you have a hobby is there

something that you enjoy doing there was a very good message I saw just now wait

there a second let me just go back in time boring and crochet says you're in

yes that's a good hobby well there are a lot of people on the live chat I've just

noticed all this this thing's going wrong inking it can you see can see it's

going wrong again I don't know what you're doing mr. mr.

Duncan you don't know what I'm doing I don't know what I'm doing come on stop

doing this okay let's get rid of that for a second

it's being a real pain today I blame mr. Steve that's what I blame mr. Steve yes

definitely mmm-hmm if I'm anyway need technology it

normally goes wrong I could safely say that for example if you're want to apply

for a job in the media okay then it would be very good to put down if you or

your pastime was I was doing blogging or doing YouTube videos that would be a

good thing to put down yes so yes that's what I've got from just a

bit of a little bit of it some hints about what looks good on your CV boom I

mean employers don't really look at at the pastime side they they might give it

a little glance it's more important to have all your career but if you need to

put hobbies down make them relevant yes to the job that you're applying for we

don't put everything down soo cat says when I was a child my father used to be

a pigeon fancier ah is the at word well-written yes you are correct

there were 250 pigeons in our garden Wow I bet the neighbors loved you in the

shed I bet they loved you is that how you spell fancy of them so if you are a

fancier and it's actually i er but i didn't want to be too pedantic i don't

want to be pedantic you say is that word well-written

sooo cat was asking pidgin is spelt right but a fancier is actually spelled

differently it is definitely so there do you have

any hobbies though that's the question do you have a hobby if you have a hobby

please let me know bug watching can be a hobby watch is it

watching bugs says uh Shino yes like watching Birds and we've got a friend of

course that keeps spiders god yes Oh exotic animals that's a hobby do you

have any other friends buzzing being involved in in in keeping or being

interested in exotic animals is a hobby there's chirpy he's got very big eyes

chirpy is saying hello exercise some people like bodybuilding don't they

that's some of the hot hobby yes so lots of people go to the gym you could

describe it as a hobby I suppose keep fitters our hobby I suppose so yes I

think so not that you would ever do that what are you talking about you used to

go to a gym I did you went for a short period of time maybe maybe three or four

months and you got very bored with it I will tell you why I stopped going to the

gym and it's something that's very unpleasant so if you if you're easily

offended now please please put your fingers in your ears now careful what

you're saying I'm just waiting for everyone to put their fingers in their

ears so if you don't want to hear what I'm about to say put your fingers in

your ears now and and there you go

I think what mr. Duncan is saying is oh that was it he doesn't like to go on it

quicker that was a joke no that was a joke Oh what what well I can't really

sit he went the stand I was making a check there I was just pretending to be

saying something so everyone's got their fingers in their ears so they think I'm

talking about something but I wasn't I just got a bit bored

mr. Duncan didn't like going to the gym I did I say young people look I didn't

like all that all the smells he didn't like seeing sweaty people no it wasn't

just seeing them it was smelling them sometimes you could smell yeah smell

their bodies and they would sit down on the equipment that's what I'm saying and

they would put their legs in the air and everything is going up and down and it's

oh you think oh dear and then you've got to sit on that equipment afterwards yes

and it's all sweaty yes instead it's all sticky and sweaty

yeah I could I went to a gym you're supposed to wipe the equipment down

afterwards I think they give you these wipes look I think you should take it

into the carpark and spray it with water but people don't and you can I was I

picked up more bugs colds and flu bugs when I used to go to the gym than I ever

did but by not going because of course you're going into a place where

everyone's hot sweaty I know that bugs everywhere and that wasn't even from the

equipment wasn't so I stopped going to the gym because I couldn't stand the

smell and and then they always had these big balls these big bouncy balls and the

women would climb on them with their legs open and they would bounce up and

down like this and and you just thought why why is this going on around me a lot

of men go to gyms I'll tell you now a lot of men go to the gym yeah that they

can just basically look at women is that a hobby I probably is it might be a

hobby well my hobby is going to the gym and I

like to look at the women on the exercise I won't admit that yes well

that's why they're going ok then so how do you know then if they never admitted

well because one has admitted it to me sir what a friend of mine but Eddie goes

to the gym said you didn't know because a friend of mine say yes are you just

being deliberately awkward today yes it's very annoying it's raining you

see it's raining in my heart is that supposed to be a poem so a friend of

mine goes to the gym and he says well I like to go to the gym because I can see

I can look at all the scantily clad women so women are going there to keep

fit and he's just sort of ogling at them ugly ogling yes his eyes are open and

he's excited looking at women on all this equipment so if you are cool you a

girl it means you look and quite often in in a sort of lustful way like that

I'm not sure what that was mr. Duncan so yes I suppose going to the gym - so look

at the eye candy maybe women go to look at the men I don't know well I think

it's true it's equality now everything everything is now equal so just keep

coming in across to me all the time it's very annoying mr. Duncan could you keep

within your own space I can't how long a barrier here I have very long arms and I

wish you to keep them in your own space are not not intrude into my own space

I'll stand like this is this better we'll put your arms down

is this better Thank You mr. Duncan so yeah we have equality now so so the

women can look at the men and go oh what a hunk and the men can look at the women

and go oh no the men can't say anything Oh women the women can say things to the

men yes oh he's a home but if you say if the man says it's the woman who's

accused of being sexist well that doesn't sound very fair well that's the

way it is now oh you can't you can't look at a women a woman to make comments

now because she can accuse you

of being inappropriate but the other way around it doesn't work because if a

woman is in it says something inappropriate chairman and you complain

the man will be described as being a wimp so if I'm walking down the road in

my sexy shorts revealing my my big strong body overweight my big strong

body and the woman goes or mr. Duncan you look sexy today

IIIi have to just accept it yes because if you complained you'd be laughed at

that's harassment and I'm sure sexual harassment does go

but you know why men do get sexually Harris look I know I mean I know I have

this power over people but look I don't I don't want to be a sex object

I don't want to be a person's fantasy I really don't I feel are you knowing

today mrs. every time I start a sentence you interrupt okay you have you can you

can have three minutes I said sometimes men are sexually harassed by women but

if they try to complain they're laughed up by their bosses at work it's not

treated seriously I don't know if it happens very often but if a man sexually

harasses a woman then well all hell breaks loose and he could lose his job

but it doesn't seem to work the other way round

right mr. Duncan's gone off so I'm now in charge I'm going to get rid of that

Kit Kat for a start that is not going to appear on the screen mr. Duncan I know

it's conscious that we're not really teaching much English today it seemed to

be sort of messing around its heart it's part of what I do you see yes but you

keep doing it all the time okay I'll stop now okay let's have a look at the

live chat mr. Duncan oh okay that's not really oh I thought you had something

else for us no that's thought you had some poetry I have got some poetry do

you want to see the poem that I wrote on Friday night being read out on

television do you want to see that we'll have a look at that in a moment

have you shown it yet well no well I would have thought the fact that I've

just said that would have been yes but you could have shown it before I came on

you could be showing it didn't it saying that to new people I would have said

I would have said again me too movement yes

are you in the me to movement well well I don't I don't approve of sexual

harassment but you know if it's the other way then that the men can't

complain because they're accused of being wimps yes

I mean it's wrong to obviously do what some of these Hollywood producers have

done that's very wrong it's broke again but you know sexual harassment does go

both ways not that I've ever been sexually harassed in hey I don't think I

ever have been actually I thought you heard no oh yes I was no deal why yes

didn't a 75 year old man make a pass at you yes you got a little amorous yes is

this oh I don't know what it is about Steve he seems to attract sort of

seventeen-year-old men I don't know why didn't he didn't he try and kiss you on

there oh yeah I didn't remind me of that horror mister doesn't quite disgusting

that we should know let's not talk about it dude let's just say I ran and I ran

and I ran I ran mr. Steve what was your first car says dealer interesting change

of subject you talked about this oh really

my first car was a Hillman Avenger did we talk about this a human Avenger I

feel like I'm having deja vu someone would like to look up Hillman Avenger

yeah which would have been around 19 when do I have my first car probably

around 1980 three or four Hillman H il ma N and Avenger AV en GE ah well

Hillman Avenger car see a ah well in case somebody wants to look it up up you

Pete come on Oh Nicole is giving you some very useful advice about your daily

er mr. Steve you move your daily ax in your garden because it needs a lot of

space for its roots yes I told him that a few weeks ago and

he didn't he didn't know he just said I'll keep it in the past

yes well the reason the reason Nicole is and mr. Duncan is the reason that we

keep daily is in pots in the UK is because they cannot survive the cold

winter okay so if you keep them in the ground they will die because we have

Frost's here hmm so you can't keep Daly's in the ground well you could put

them in the ground but you'd have to take them up put it in the autumn before

the first frost scum yes otherwise that they die so you could plant them you

could plant them and then when the winter comes you just dig these some

people do do that dig it up and hang it up somewhere nice and dry and then in

the summer or in the spring you can plant it in the ground again and they

don't like to be kept too wet either although they're not build I think

rhizomes I think they are cut what we called it now rot so that's why you

mustn't overwater them mr. Duncan it can be a very strange way I'm listening to

you I'm intently listening to mr. Steve's talk I have you talked about

drones yet we haven't talked about drones show the mystery object the

mystery object no we haven't just there's just so much I did say this half

an out again do you remember at the start of today's livestream I said there

wouldn't be enough time to do everything today and I'm right well we're back on

Wednesday right if we don't do it today we will do it on Wednesday but I would

go with there Steve there's a drone coming now and so you better you better

get down Steve there's a drone wait look at me

we duck - it's looking like it might come back in a mo but always coming back

oh no pictures no pictures oh dear did you see that we're being spied on do you

be are being spied on one of the neighbors no no well we're not going to

name them although everybody knows who it is we had a drone flying over our

house we're not joking well not over our house but over

everyone's house well her house is well yes our house was on the list but it was

everyone's but we we were trying to work out who it was so there it was do you

see that we know who it is I saw exactly where it went

did you see the drone then it's cold Steve Steve it's coming back oh there

you go did you see that drone an unmanned

aerial vehicle yes that's a drone just stand back a bit I don't know okay so

excited a drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle yes drone it could also mean Oh

a very boring sound yeah I prepared this and and mr. Duncan is is interrupting I

need a drink if I was to talk like this for a long period of time mr. Duncan

your English lessons are very valuable can i tune in next week when is your

next one mr. Duncan that just sounds normal even they say that I was droning

that's how you sound normal looking in a monotone droning on if somebody talks

about a subject in a very in a very sort of low monotone voice all the time and

they talk like that and they're just sound a little boring you can say that

they're talking in a in a monotone in a drone

oh stop droning on about that groaning on droning on its somebody if

for example you you talk about the same subject to somebody all the time and

you're boring them somebody will say stop droning on about that boring

subject boring drone strikes okay a drone strike is that is that when the

drones refused to work where we are going on strike well that's that that's

funny that's the first funny joke I've heard from you all afternoon get the

crickets a drone strike so obviously there are military drones and they have

bombs on board and they sort of home in and then Peter people in control centers

me hundreds of miles away are directing these basically aerial bombs to their

targets and that's a what they call a drone strike you sound so excited by

this well I'm not but I would imagine the people controlling them actually

quite enjoyed doing it what about a drone be grown be as well a drone and is

that a boring drone is that a boring B no B the drone B is a male bee that is

just bread basically to mate with the female Queen

Oh lookey Queen so they're not worker bees which apparently are all female

mm-hm all the worker bees the ones that go out and collect all the the honey and

the pollen look to a female and they can sting you and the the male bee is called

a drone and there are fewer of them and they just mate with the Queen's from

other colonies that's a good job it's a lovely it must be a lovely job

well ah you think that wouldn't you mister don't yes I know what you're

gonna say but they can only make once and then they die oh dear because

apparently after they've mated with the queen bee

in the air at certain sites apparently they've got these they've got these

drone areas where all these drones these male bees all congregate and the females

fly in and it's like a big orgy for bees I think wow this bee orgy so but but but

you so you get you get to mate once you get to mate once with the female bee and

they die your penis gets ripped off along with the parts of your abdomen and

then you die that's what happens to the poor male bee apparently I was reading

about it this morning yes he's got quite a large penis

apparently there's a D and he's when he mated with the female it's quite a

vigorous activity he's only got one shot at it one chance and if he's successful

it destroys there's lower part of his body it's all any dummies so that's it

so you know wham bam thank you ma'am it's sort of wham bam goodbye how about

that mr. Duncan some very interesting words you see I read it I read up about

the the okay don't B's we've got it we've got it we understand his his is

doo dee doo dee doo dee doo gets ripped off written the mating process that's

not very nice is it exactly that's a real that's a real bad one-night stand

you can get drone ants but I didn't read up about them I presume it's similar

fate there's very similar drone ants in music oh okay music seems cats husband

might know about this yeah or even sue cat herself a drone in music is a chord

or a note played in harmony continuously throughout the piece of music so you'll

have one note playing all the time the same note playing throughout the music

and that's called the drone note or the drone chord bagpipes think of a bagpipe

oh I'm thinking think of bagpipes they have one sound one pipe that just puts

out the same note all the time

that plays throughout the whole music and then they play the other tunes

around that and I just compare that one no can I confess to something I hate the

sound of bagpipes fine we don't care and steel drums steel drums no you've never

liked steel drums I don't like the sound of steel drums as I don't know why

so the bagpipes and steel drums so it's that droning noise in the back that is

that droning noise if I ever go to Scotland and there are some people from

the Caribbean also nearby performing and that and they're very close to each

other shall there be a bagpipe and a steel drum playing at the same time I

will probably have my fingers in my ears and I might even cut my ears off Oh like

van Gogh you heard a fusion music so a fusion between Caribbean and Scottish

music would be your worst nightmare I've never heard I've never heard bagpipes

and steel drums at the same time and I don't want to I don't think you ever

will no apparently a sitar has it has a drone note and so does a banjo

apparently one of the strings on a banjo just plays the same note all the time

who wants to hear mr. Duncan's poem well I've got one more use of the word drone

first are you so rude mr. Duncan is so rude so a drone is a deep humming sound

a deep humming sound so a wasp makes a droning noise a deep humming sound a

drone so that's why you say if somebody drones it's sort of just a boring sort

of sound all the time they would say this already exactly that's why it's why

it's called droning okay so yes a drone isn't just about lots of young I

actually tried to teach them English here mr. Duncan Fusco said of just being

frivolous and silly all the time I am taking over the baton of English taking

over the pattern yes so you're not taking the baton and I'm

taking you down I can you take over a baton

I've got all this stuff prepared and the we're here on Wednesday don't worry

about it if we don't get through it today we can do it on n says when a

drone I don't understand the world but I've just explained it so hopefully a

drone is either an unmanned aerial vehicle it's a male B it's a monotone

sound that's it Steve there was that there was a band called the drones Steve

look that drones it's coming back it's coming back again didn't get us its

spying us see see we're having trouble here with drones so that that is a drone

so drone can be a verb to do something in a boring and monotonous way or a

drone can be an unmanned aircraft mr. Duncan sue cat says never go to Scotland

and Jamaica yes definitely not I don't think you've ever been to either have

you have you ever been to Scotland I have been to Scotland I've been to

Edinburgh and it rained all day oh yes I remember your trip to Edinburgh

Edinburgh which year did van Gogh cut off I don't know van Gogh which ear and

go I don't know which one it was they want I want to say his left ear I don't

know why but then I have a feeling that it might have been his right ear

you don't know D mr. ding because well who who knows it might it may have been

one or the other it might have been both or he might have cut them both off and

then swapped the round just just for a joke he might have put them on back to

front and then he could hear what was coming behind him so who knows you see

he he is a creative type he is a creative person or he was blue thunder

says headshot for mr. Steve headshot you mean you want to fire a gun into my head

I think they made a picture well headshot can mean some

taking a shot with a bullet with a bullet in your head that's what you know

President what's-his-name had a head shot didn't he president what's-his-name

yes the one that is that well-known American president president what's his

name can't think of his remember his name and before that it was president

thingy what was his name there was president thingy and there was president

what's his name everybody remembers Kennedy guys he I was just testing you

they weren't you had no idea he had a head shot yes like it either no no he's

not going to like don't can we are intrigued with the blue thing you showed

as you told me you hadn't shown anybody you have I was waving it around just

didn't you see me waving it around no I did it right your friend of yeah well

that was the mystery object yes it is but it's still a mystery object yeah it

hasn't become less mysterious yeah in a minute there's no time for people to get

real stay for another 10 minutes well you might well there's two parts of

this mystery object isn't that so if you wants to know what this is tuna on

Wednesday you jr. what what Steve they don't show that that that's for what

that's for Wednesday people have got to try and get hey guys so there is part of

the mystery object just disgusting what on earth is that it's not a blue banana

find out what that is and other interesting things please please tune in

on Wednesday it says hello from Tenerife ok Tenerife ok

Tenerife Tenerife yes they are yes Tenerife there's a big volcano on the

island I think that's Tenerife it is it is it's

very high up and we went up to this volcano and you could look down and you

were below the clouds that's how high it was it was fascinating somebody a friend

of mine has just come back from Tenerife and she said that outside the hotel

where they were there were lots of there was a big camp

of immigrants and they hadn't got any toilets and it was there was an awful

smell so tonight whether you've got that David

in tenerife David Calero another lovely name I wrote a poem on Friday night and

it was read out on television Jeff's being disgusting good no that's what I

don't be all be revealed on Wednesday well so what is what is this what if

this might be our last ever live stream look what is this so fine you're not

holding it right mr. chicken that's the story of my life the story of my life

it's not what you think it is no it's not what you think it's even though

that's what everyone thinks it is but it isn't it is it's something else so we'll

talk about that on Wednesday let's let's hear my poem because on Friday night we

were what everyone thinks it's either a sexy erectile dysfunction

yes okay Steve it isn't okay Steve what is it look do you want to do Wednesday's

show now but did that do that on somebody said they want me to read the

poem out but yes I'm getting to my poem now he was my poem so on Friday night I

will set the scene Friday night we're watching our favorite TV channel yes the

shopping channel ideal world it's a great channel and there is one person

who we love watching his name is Peter Simon and he is a TV legend he was on

the BBC many years ago and now he presents on ideal world selling things

and at the start of his show on Friday night he said please send me email send

me anything send me a message anything so I decided to write a little message

to him in the form of a poem and at the start of his show the woman he was

presenting with Peter said that her elastic in her

knickers had snapped so that gives you an idea of the type of show that it is

sometimes it's a bit risky risky and you know sometimes that little cheeky

although it is really a show about selling things that it is it is really a

shopping channel does have a bit of fun don't they imagine my surprise on Friday

night when my poem was actually read out at listen this that you don't know what

you've done for Caroline and I tonight you've honestly and you've cheered me up

so much and just before I read this can I just say the gentleman who owns the

Cobblers shop in Whitby right could you email me tonight right and he's a

wonderful man he's got this beautiful cobblers hand made shoe shop in Whitby

and I adore Whitby right and can you email me because he sent me

something the other day and I'll be honest with you this is my age I put it

down and I can't find right but no that's better right listen to this this

is from Duncan okay on a sticky Friday night everything will be all right with

Peter Simon being fantastic and Caroline minus her support elastic so many watches at a good price

that's the value of constantin weisz oh duncs...duncs i love you

so there it was that was my poem I went into my studio

and wrote it in about 20 seconds and then about 20 minutes later it was

actually read out on air so now I I am officially a published poet I've been

published well done I might be the next poet laureate who knows so there

you go that is now my new claim to fame besides being a superstar on YouTube

except they didn't call you mr. Duncan which was slightly annoying you

put mr. Duncan on your poem yes I wanted him to say

really wanted him to say I wanted him to say mr. Duncan hundal techno is from

India and I don't remember seeing anybody watching us from India before so

welcome have we ever had anybody watching us from India before yes but

I've got lots of people watching it's one of my most viewed countries actually

one of the countries with one of the most populated viewers or viewership yes

India handle handle welcome you are more than welcome that's great wow so people

are commenting about that's how we've yes I know what people are saying sooo

cat and somebody else just above just go go but can you go up a bit

oh try Volvo says you had a chance to understand how we all feel when you read

our messages oh I see so what people are saying is how you how well you how good

you felt when your poem was read out is how people on the live chat field when

we read out their comments and I often said that how'd our mr. Duncan which is

why I like the live chat that if someone makes a comment they do like to have it

read out yes and which is why we try to read out as many of them as we can we

always try to read all the messages out so Oh Kara deaths mentions say nap at

noon beep it is a famous painting of a pipe by Rene Magritte and the picture is

a painting of a pipe that you smoked so you use it to smoke tobacco and

underneath it says this is not a pipe and the reason why he's done that he's

playing with the concept of art and imagery so it's quite an interesting

painting because what he's actually saying is it is a painting of a pipe but

it isn't actually a pipe it is a painting so I actually love that sort of

thinking I love that sort of creativity now that is what we call very creative

art it's very creative it means more than just one thing

so I guess I like that very much so I know that very well I know that picture

very well hello everybody mr. Steve mr. Duncan the fantastic team oh thank you

for that comment I think this is the best channel to learn English thank you

very much goal khalid caliche oh thank you very

much for that that's great we are going very soon we will be back on wednesday

of course talking all about the drones and also a bit of poetry yes and also

anything else that comes into our big brains very much hopefully yes it would

be hopefully there'll be something there let's have a quick look outside with the

birds are going crazy today look at the birds they are going quite frantic

because there there is a shortage of insects because we've had so much rain

so when the rain comes all the insects disappear and so the birds have to find

somewhere else to to feed actually earlier I counted 20 there are 20 Birds

on the bird feeder earlier and now as you can see there are none that's

because I've just scared them all away I think so and I shot and there is today's

view that is a live view looking over into the distance it's very windy very

cloudy and that is a live shot right now out of the studio window that down there

really here I think it is who do you think it is yes there yes is that a

picture of the person that always makes lovely comments about what I'm wearing

this is Pedro Belmont would you like to see Pedro Belmont has anybody else seen

him I haven't seen him today on the live chat I don't think he's here he's not

here today well let's say that for another day then okay we'll save that

for Wednesday when Pedro is here but we have we have a video clip that Pedro

sent in a very long time ago so that yeah but we'll do that on

Wednesday okay because Pedro isn't here I don't know what he's doing I think

he's watching his a skiving off he's watching his favorite TV show diving off

from your live streams or skiving off which means he's he should be here but

he's doing something else instead maybe something more interesting I really

skive off from school that's supposed to be at school but you you you go off

doing some shopping or something like that do some simple I don't know about

shopping but you're not there you should be at school but you're not he's skiving

off broke on on holiday with your parents let's have one last look at the

live chat before we disappear let's have one last look lots of people saying

hello Oh Saudi Arabia someone's from Saudi Arabia

is here unfortunately I'm not sure if anyone has heard of Saudi Arabia about

sound zero of course we have we maybe something's happened inside the Arabia

today I don't know oh I see no no I think hundl is saying I Archer sorry

Archer says I'm not sure if anyone has heard of Saudi Arabia that's what that's

what they're saying just trust me on that please what are you going to do on

holiday yes we are having a little break soon aren't we we are we are we are

going to have a short break because we have been so busy this year doing all of

these live streams and it says will you do a live stream during your holiday I

believe mr. Duncan almost certainly will do a live stream holiday may be a

surprise one I've got news for you we won't because on a Wednesday know that

you might do you might do an impromptu live stream no we won't because the

place we're going to has no signal it is actually free of all signals so we won't

be able to do a live stream at all oh yes unless what unless they put a new

booster tower up somewhere which means that the signal is better than it was

last time we went I don't think that they will

I think that that area is completely free of all technology so no to answer

your question there is a chance that we won't we will not be doing any live

streams from the place we're visiting because there is no signal there is no

way of actually putting out the live stream I suppose we could use the Wi-Fi

in the hotel but their Wi-Fi their Wi-Fi isn't very good so because I remember

from the past the Wi-Fi was a little slow it was indeed so I don't think we

will be doing that it's unlikely but we will see I will take everything with me

because we will do some filming I think we will do some filming while we're

there I've broken it again look I don't know how I keep doing that oh you see I

broke it once and you blame me I've broken it again broken the live chat I

don't know how that does that I don't know how that does that never mind we

keep going anyway it's very annoying so we will see you on Wednesday

we will be having a holiday the week after so we will be with you in August

on the first and also on the Sunday we will be with you but on the following

Wednesday which I believe is the 8th the 8th of August

Wednesday we won't be here so I will be here on Wednesday and also next Sunday

but the Wednesday after we will be having a little bit of a holiday a bit

of a break and the neighbours 7th the neighbors are coming round to actually

visit and look after the house so we've got some neighbours coming here to stay

and they're going to maybe they will do a livestream well that's what I was

wondering so I will leave the studio ready just in case they decide that they

want to go onto the internet to do a live stream so we'll we'll leave it for

the foot for them to decide anyway we're going now we are I'm going to have a tea

cake because I didn't have mine earlier please send in your guesses as to what

this object is there is another part to it yes there was another part

it's not a blue banana it's not a sec story no so what is it by mr. Duncan the

live chat is back I fixed it please mr. Duncan mr. Steeves see you

soon thank you Chris thank you Jeff Thank You Gloria hello Gloria Gloria you

bong sorry I didn't say hello to you earlier so I will say hello to you now

so see you all later we are going now have you enjoyed it mr. Steve no oh

interesting Leslie the innocent culprit is asking why do you drink ale warm in

England I don't know we just do I think I think it's all to do with the taste it

is beer beer is normally drunk beer or ale is normally drunk at room

temperature yes there is lager lager which isn't a traditional British drink

he's always drunk cold hmm and believe it or not beer does taste nicer if it's

if it's not too cold yes zero ale so if you have an acquired taste the dark

brown beer so it's very Brown looking very dark so normally we serve that at

room temperature but I think it's all to do with the taste the taste it tastes

better if you chill it then all of the taste disappears because it's ice-cold

like wine red wines supposed to be served at room temperature but white

wine is supposed to be chilled I say so I think it's the same between beer and

lager I don't know better I don't know about

wine well red wine is supposed to be served at room temperature and white

wine at a cold temperature thank you very much for all of your lovely

messages I will show you some more nature pictures and so much some more

video images on Wednesday and we will see you later it is coming up to four

minutes away from four o'clock in the afternoon carrot ask Guinness can be

served cold or at room temperature that's it some people

it can be either do you like Guinness Steve no no it's it's alright but it's

it's it's very bitter I don't mind a small amount of it but I used to drink

it but I can't drink more than a small amount is it too heavy it's like

drinking engine oil yes no other comments is still coming in I did not

know that you are I'm sorry about that I will not do it again for that kind of

behavior oh I don't know don't know what that means it's a joke goodbye

Belarusian goodbye has na goodbye to the innocent culprit goodbye to soo Jin and

we will see you on Wednesday night at 10 p.m. UK time don't forget to check the
