Happy Birthday to Mr Duncan / English Addict LIVE Chat / Many Happy Returns - 12th August 2022

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday

to me.

Hi here we go. Yes, we are back together.

It is another.

Well, in fact, I say another.

It is, in fact, a special English addict for one particular reason.

We have a lot of things coming up today.

I hope you are feeling good on this Friday.

I can't believe it.

I'm here on Friday.

It's also a very hot day here in England.

Yes. That is where we are coming to you live from.

It just happens to be the birthplace of the English language.

It can only be one place, and that is England.

Happy birthday to me.

Hi, everybody.

This is Mr. Duncan in England. How are you today?

Are you okay? I hope so.

Are you happy?

I hope you are feeling happy today.

For those who are wondering, who is that strange man?

My name is Mr. Duncan.

I talk about the English language.

Normally that is what I do.

Today we are doing something slightly different because I am here with you and it is a special day.

As I mentioned at the beginning, you may have noticed my lovely song.

It wasn't quite Marilyn Monroe

who remembers Marilyn Monroe singing to the President of the USA many years ago.

But it was near anyway.

Yes, we are back together again and as I mentioned a few moments ago,

yes, it is.

It is my birthday today.

Happy birthday to.

Well, I suppose I should say to me

the beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Happy birthday to me.

I am another year older. Am I upset?

Am I sad about it?

Well, maybe a little bit, but not too much.

Because I'm here with you now celebrating my birthday today.

Yes, I have just completed

another journey around the sun.

I am another year old.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

I I'm not actually sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Can I just do something here?

I just need to pull something out.

There is a wire that is really annoying me,

so something strange might happen once I do this.

Oh, I think that's okay.

Yes, it seems to be all right.

Then I put it back in.

That's better.

Let's see if it works.

Oh, it does now.

My name is Mr. Duncan.

It's my birthday today.

You may have noticed already.

I have mentioned it about a thousand times.

And. Well, it's not just me here today.

It isn't.

It's you as well.

And also

joining me live today.

Here he comes.

We haven't planned this yet, so he's going to slowly walk on.

Am I on already, Mr. Duncan? It's very unusual.

This, isn't it?

We just reposition something. So, Mr. Steve.

Mr. Steve is just getting himself comfortable.

I thought you were going to fade me on in there in a professional way, Mr..

Not today.

No, we're doing it in a very rough way.

Did I hear you singing Happy Birthday to yourself?

I did. Well, that's a bit sad.

Yes, it also a bit self-indulgent, but so I thought I'd sing Happy Birthday to you, Mr.

Duncan.

Here's a candle.

Okay, here's a candle for your birthday.

Are you going to sing to me? Well, I better not sing.

Happy Birthday had I. Because.

Will that be copyright, mate? Well, we don't know.

Nowadays, anything could happen.

So sing.

Sing something, make something up.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to Mr. Duncan.

Happy birthday to Mr. Duncan.

Happy birthday to Mr.

Duncan.

Blow out the candle.

You've got to blow out the candles, Mr.. It's your birthday.

Okay, then.

Now you need a nice big puff.

Okay. To do this.

Well, I think I can do that.

A lot of people say that I have a nice big puff on the counter.

Three at the count of one, two, three.

Oh, look at that. That's amazing. Actually work.

I have.

Come on again. You've got to blow doubt again, Mr. Duncan.

I know

that will not get tiresome.

It's shaped like a heart.

Oh, isn't that lovely?

Isn't it romantic?

We had these for my mother when it was her birthday, when she was okay.

So it would appear that every time we have any occasion, any special occasion, Mr.

Steve is going to bring out that lovely heart.

So we are here. Very unusual.

It is unusual because.

Well, first of all, I'm not normally with you on Friday

and Mr.

Steve is not normally with us during the week. But.

But I've taken the day off work today.

Steve has sacrificed a day of his holiday, you know,

so he can be with me that this and I haven't really dressed up because it's so hot.

I don't want to colour on today.

I have noticed a light weight.

A light weight t shirt.

You could have tried a bit harder.

Well, you haven't got your shirt and tie on today.

No, no, it's too hot.

It is a hot one.

By the way, you may have noticed on the news we are having a heatwave.

There are fires everywhere.

I was I was wondering this morning, Steve, if we were going to wake up this morning

and find just everything on fire because there would appear to be fires everywhere.

Everything is on fire. Well, France have already got it.

I don't know if Louis is on yet.

Yes, he is. Hello, Louis.

But they are having the worst drought ever on record in France. Yes.

And we are about to have a loss.

And we've seen it's been all over our news.

No water, no usage fires.

There is no water.

I know it's quite but it's I mean, the thing is, this will happen.

We haven't had anything like this quite like this since 1976. Yes.

And they're saying that this will be hotter than then.

But this is the only water left in England.

So we have it.

This is amazing. So this is very valuable.

This is the only water left in the whole of England.

That's it. That's all we have left. Nothing.

So millions of people

have got to use this water for everything they've been knocking at the door, Mr.

Duncan will say.

Well, maybe. Yes.

I doubt it.

So, yes, it's it's it's all over France where it's in the UK.

It's only certain parts of the UK that are really hot

and so did Northern Ireland, Ireland and sort of Scotland.

This is sort of are escaping all this.

Yes, I'm glad I'm glad we're talking about all the bad things, whereas but of course, it's your birthday.

It's your birthday.

Happy birthday, Mr. Duncan. Thank you very much. Every.

Nothing negative today. Just positive.

And there is something I should mention as well, because on the screen

you will see on here, there is a little ticker going by

and there is also an address if you want to send a donation for my birthday.

I don't normally do this, but because it's my birthday

and I would like to carry on doing this on here.

And by that I mean You Tube forever and ever and ever.

So if you want to send me a little birthday gift, we also have one on here.

Palmeiras already

donated something for Mr.

Duncan's booth to.

Hello, Palmira.

Thank you very much.

You can send a super chat on here.

Or of course you can send a donation

to the address that is going by right now.

So there it is if you want to send it a donation there as well.

All of this will help my work continue.

Don't forget, everything I do is free.

So I don't normally do this.

But because it's my birthday, I'm looking for gifts.

I know it's very desperate and we are living, living through tough times.

I will set the bar quite low by showing everybody what I gave Mr.

Duncan for his birthday.

Well, first of all, we have another donation come through Florence okay, Steve.

Florence Hello.

Florence Thank you very much for your super chat as well.

Thank you very much.

So we are looking for super chat or if you want to

if you've just won the lottery, maybe, yes,

we might have a lottery winner, the EUROMILLIONS.

And if there is a multi-millionaire watching at the moment, you can send a little bit.

Just a little bit. You don't have to spend millions.

Just a bit.

Just a little, that's all.

Just to keep me going so I can carry on doing this so I can

help myself.

Are you okay, Mr. Stevens?

You know, you don't seem right today. I'm itching.

I'm itching something.

Well, I mean, let's talk about the bites that we've had.

We at the moment, I don't know if it's because of the heat,

but at the moment we are being eaten alive by all sorts of insects.

I think it's mosquitoes. I think it's mosquitoes.

We have bites all over our legs.

And I normally and this is this is a strange bit of information.

Normally, I don't get them.

I don't know why mosquitoes don't seem very interested in me.

I love other things.

Normally they go straight for Mr.

Steve.

Yes, but this year

they are they are eating Mr.

Steve, but they are also drinking my blood as well.

I woke up in the night and you know, when you get a mosquito bite

and they always seem to well, they've gone for our ankles,

the soft spots, they go for everything now and

you they get very itchy, don't they.

But you have to resist it.

Otherwise you, they all go purple and they will get horrible.

You want to scratch, you want to scratch them, but you should resist that.

It's almost because it's almost ecstasy to scratch them in ecstasy.

Okay, so that's something very pleasant indeed, isn't it?

Scratching an itch is like, Oh, the loveliest thing ever.

So when you get these bites from insects like mosquitoes

or horse flies and they get here as well, that nasty then?

Well, the temptation is just, oh, you just want to eat it

where you want to scratch you want to scratch it rather scratch it. Yes.

So the itch is what is produced by the bite.

So they bite you, but they also inject something in to

to make the I think it stops the thing from healing

or it allows them to drink the blood requesting.

It is horrible when you think about it.

Those little mosquitoes, they they stick their little thing into your skin and then have a drink.

I woke up last night and I just.

The itch was so intense, the desire to scratch those spots

because I've got two big ones and my ankles was so intense, I had to get up.

I couldn't. It just wouldn't go away, you poor thing.

I had to get up and put some antihistamine cream on them.

I clicked it with my sort of electric shock, a thing which is supposed to be good for bite.

Yeah.

And it eventually went, but I can feel it now.

I just want to go

out to my ankles.

So this is this is as bad as if we went abroad

because quite often if you go to the beach, if you go to, I don't know,

maybe Spain or maybe Greece, you will find there are lots of mosquitoes.

But I think it's because of the warm weather.

And I suppose we should mention at the moment it is another hot day.

As we said at the start,

it is only 30 Celsius near 30.

It's very cool today.

Only 30.

Well, Pedro says, by the way, hello, Pedro.

Yes, I haven't said hello to anyone yet. I have.

I've been really, really rude on the live stream.

Can I say hello to first of all, can I say hello to Mouse?

Is it Mouse? And who was first today?

I'm not sure.

Yes, hello, Mohsin.

You are first on today's live chat.

Congratulations to you.

I'll drink to that.

It's any water.

Well done, Mohsin.

Nice to see you here.

First on today's live chat, I'm not taller than you and

I because I'm standing on a little raised thing to.

Yes, to make sure.

So now Pedro's joking. I think Steve.

Steve actually stands on a small box

only because otherwise I would look like that.

I look a bit silly off the screen. Yes.

And I this is my normal height.

So this is what we would look like if we if we had our usual height.

So as you can see, Mr.

Steve is very small and I am very tall.

So I have to lower myself and Mr.

Steve has to raise himself. Yes.

And then we we look as if we're the same height.

Otherwise it wouldn't look good on the camera.

It would not it.

So yes, I mean I mean I'm still tall ish.

One, five, ten. Nearly five too tall.

Are you taller than many people in your in your extended family?

True, Amanda, that's not difficult.

No. Oh, I think that'd be careful to say they're very small.

It's like it's like being in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with all these nice with all the numbers.

That's that's not very nice, Mr.

Tinkerbell. Yes.

They're so small.

Is just working this afternoon.

He says you won't be watching me, Mother Kirby.

No one watches us. That's true. Not from the family.

No one from our real life.

Mind you, I'm suspicious.

Suspicious because.

Yeah. Anyway, we won't go into that.

Okay, Steve, we're moving forward.

I want to say hello to the live chat because we've had some super chats come through.

We've had lots of lovely messages come through as well.

Can I say hello to everyone out there?

We will be showing you one of the gifts Mr.

Steve bought me something really nice today for my birthday.

Some of you will think it's maybe not a birthday gift.

Yeah, well, to be honest, I know I've said this before.

Normally every year on my birthday, but I don't expect much.

I don't.

I don't want jewellery or a new sports car.

I don't want anything like that.

So Mr.

Steve has bought me something lovely, something useful.

Every time I use it, I will think of Mr.

Steve Ciobo.

Pedro says Hello friends, it's not nice and that's what we all our friends we need to.

I've I've said this many times, it's a wonderful community that Mr.

Duncan has created here and people are coming on

not just to watch us or you, but also to say hello to each other.

This is the friendliest community on YouTube.

There is no community on YouTube that is more friendly than this.

We know that for certain.

Yes, well, I've just said it so it must be true. True?

It is true. Oh, Petra.

Hello, Petra.

Thank you very much for your very generous, lovely,

very nice donation on the super chair.

Petra, who is quite a new member.

Yes. To our lovely community. Yes.

Thank you very much for that.

This is the this is the biggest English corner on the Internet.

There is no larger English corner.

So people all around the world, everyone is joining you and you

joining us and everyone else there is watching.

So we love doing this.

If we could do this every day, do you think you would?

I'm not sure about every day,

but it you're supposed to say you're supposed to say, yes, I've got other things going on in my life,

but maybe not for much longer that.

Well, we'll talk about that another time.

Yes, but okay.

But, yes, it would be lovely to to, you know, come on with you every day, Mr.

Duncan.

You did come on every day. Yes.

Oh, you know, that would be a nice thing to do. Yes.

Who knows?

Who knows?

So I'm even though I'm another year older

and this is the reason why we are here today, if you are wondering why we are here, it's my birthday.

I'm another year older and I sad about it.

Not really, because I'm still relatively young, even though I am slowly catching Mr.

Steve up.

I'm just behind Mr. Steve.

So more years.

Mr. Steve is always slightly in front with his age.

Well, chronologically.

Oh yes. Chronologically, yes.

When it comes to age, there's two definitions of age, by the way, chronologically means

in the order of numbers state.

Yes. So quite often as dates in the form of numbers.

So maybe your age, your year, your date of birth, my age,

the year of my birth and also the date.

So chronological order means

just in the order that those dates or times come from.

Cronus.

Yes, Cronus. The God of time.

True.

Yes, it is.

There we go. So, yes, chronologically.

So in terms of time measurement, Mr.

Duncan is about four years older than me.

Yes, but then you can also measure your age biologically.

How do you.

Because some people. Yes.

Age at different rates.

There's somebody two people who are the same age,

maybe they're 20.

There were two people over, say 60, for example. Yes.

As if you're 20.

It's to make you know, if you're 20, you're 20.

But as you get older, some people look after themselves better.

Then they tend to exercise.

Maybe they don't they don't smoke.

They don't drink much.

So they will actually age slightly slower.

So if you had two twins,

so genetically they would be identical

but one smoke and drank all his life and never did any exercise and the other one didn't.

The one that did all the bad things. Okay, bad things.

Some of them, you know, would probably be older

biologically if you were to measure the cells and everything.

Yes. So, you know, if Mr.

Duncan is for years younger than me, but maybe you've caught me up biologically.

I mean, I don't care.

I don't care that people know my age, by the way.

It doesn't bother me very much. So I am today.

I am 57.

Pardon.

Oh, okay.

Steve 3737.

Well, I can't be if I'm four years younger than you.

I'm just you and Mr.

Steve is 60, 61.

60, 61, right.

Oh, Steve, stop doing that.

You're overloading them like, oh, it doesn't matter.

It does.

It doesn't mind if I do so.

So we're always worried about the mike.

So I don't I don't care if people know my age.

It doesn't really bother me.

And especially these days because we've, we've been listening

to some very interesting conversations about age

and now 70 is the new 40

and 50 is the new 30.

So there are people now who are who are living longer.

But not only that, they are also having much more active lives

and staying healthy or more healthy than in the past.

But we know people, Steve, who are half our age and they look terrible.

Exactly. It's very strange.

So we don't know what the secret is.

I will let you in on one secret.

Steve's sister is obsessed with my skin.

Yes, she. She.

Whenever I see your sister, she always looks at me like this.

This is.

This is what Steve sister does.

She's.

She's she's always looking at my face and the skin on my face.

And when we went to the wedding about three weeks ago,

your sister asked Duncan things on me.

Duncan,

what is, what is what do you do with your skin?

Your face, the skin on your face?

What do you do with it?

How do you keep it looking so great?

She said, you have no lines.

And the answer is the answer is water.

Very little. Yes, I don't really do much to it.

The only thing I do sometimes is give it a little a little scrub, facial scrub.

Yeah. So that's it. But that's now and again.

So I use I use soap, water.

That's it really.

But you see, it is all down to your parents if you are lucky enough to have

parents.

You see, your mother has got lovely skin.

You know, it's very well it's not it's not so good now.

But it was.

Yes, yes, my, my, my, my mother

and your sister and my sister.

And I suppose really in my family there is longevity as well.

So everyone in my family did live to what

we like to call a ripe old age.

It's a great word, isn't it? Ripe, yes.

So if a person lives to a ripe old age,

it means they live to well, they live until they're very old.

And quite often we say that that person stayed maybe active or healthy

until a ripe old age.

It's loses Lewis's wife's birthday

on the 25th, the 25th of August.

Lewis I haven't done it yet, have I, today.

Wait there a second. Lewis. Mendez

is here today.

I've never been here when you've done that.

Yes, that's what it is.

That's what it sounds like.

So is that the 25th of August?

Lewis Yeah, presuming it is, is anyone's birthday today.

Yes. Well, it's not just yours.

Is there anybody watching today whose birthday it is today?

It's my birthday. Pretty. We know it's your birthday.

I wonder if there are any other celebrities

having their birthday today besides me?

Yeah, well, do you want to.

Do you want me to show the lovely viewers what I was

so amazingly generous

in buying you for your birthday?

Well, let's not go too far.

What about sharing a card?

Okay, just a moment.

I've got something else to show just very briefly.

Watch this, everyone.

It is my birthday today.

If you want to make a donation, you can.

We've had some lovely super chats and also

you can send a donation to my PayPal.

The address is underneath because today it's my birthday. Oh,

yes. Happy birthday.

You didn't you didn't see what I did, did you know, lots of lovely balloons went by.

Oh, I didn't see the balloons.

Say balloons.

Yes, some lovely balloons.

I went to a lot of. Oh, I just saw it on TV.

The playback.

The playback, which is a 10 seconds behind what actually goes out.

That's nice. Just everybody.

That picture is going to be 44 on Wednesday next week.

Oh, okay. Well, happy birthday to Petra. So.

So you are also a lion as well?

I am a lion, Leo.

The lion, apparently Leo's.

No, I don't believe in astrology, but apparently Leo's.

They say they are very deep, creative types.

Yeah, same.

So maybe it is true. So and quite deep.

Oh, time would you say I'm deep and creative?

Oh well, you are definitely creative.

Otherwise you would not have created this live stream.

Everything.

Pedro, are you really 20?

Pedro? 20.

No, I think he means the 20th I oh, maybe the 20th of August.

Is that true.

Is that your birthday then?

Is your birthday on the 20th of August.

We could be on. Are we on. What date is it today? 12th.

That's it.

Well, I'm only joking.

You should know the date. I'm joking. It's the 12th.

Yes, it's at eight days time.

You had to use your fingers to work that out.

I just did it for comic effect.

I do worry sometimes about you. I really do.

That's. That's good, though. That's very good. If.

If it is your birthday this month, please let us know on the live chat.

Wouldn't that be nice?

When's the 20th? Is that not well?

It's the 12th. Sunday.

It's eight days from now.

It's one more than a week from now.

It's a Saturday then isn't it. Yes. Okay, fine.

That said.

Oh, it'll just be said.

We will have to celebrate on the Sunday. Yes.

And for everybody else's birthday who who is next week

I can picture for example,

then we'll have

to have another this to go on and on couldn't it. Yes.

People are talking about Zodiac signs now.

Yes. Good.

Which is good

because it's something to talk about.

Yes, but it's certainly it's but well, a lot of people do still believe in astrology.

I don't particularly because every day

you might read the newspaper, Steve, and you see these all of the star signs.

And there is always someone who tries to foresee the future

or maybe to talk about what will happen today if you are a certain star sign.

Talking of which, last night we went into the guard

and we were trying to see the beautiful.

The beautiful persons.

Yes, the beautiful.

Did you see any last night?

Were you looking outside now? We were trying to look.

We were trying to see.

But unfortunately, though, it was still a little light.

So unfortunately, during the summer months, it never really goes completely dark here

because as it gets dark, suddenly the sun is already starting to come up.

So it never actually stays, stays completely dark.

And there's a very bright moon

which was starting to come up

on the horizon.

So that was causing a lot of light pollution. Yes.

So it was difficult to see the lovely meteor was.

Yes, last night. But we did see a few.

I saw one, if you see one.

So at the moment there is also a supermoon.

They call it a supermoon.

But but each one has their own special name, depending on which month it is.

So this month the supermoon is called the Sturgeon Moon.

Did you know that?

And there won't be another one.

There isn't another supermoon until next July.

So make the most of the supermoon

because there won't be another one until next next year.

Next July. Yes.

Thank you, Magdalena,

for reminding people to please like Mr.

Duncan's videos.

Pedro mentioned it earlier as well.

So thank you both for encouraging people to like the videos.

It's a simple thing, but it does help Mr.

Duncan click to get noticed more in this huge YouTube

channel where there are so many other people doing things and the likes.

Help Mr. Demi to get noticed. Yes.

So give me a like Mr.

Duncan, if you see me, you like this. If you don't want to.

Thanks a lot.

If you don't want to give a donation, you can just give it like

they are just as valuable they are.

To be honest.

And Christina says that she is on a mountain.

Oh, okay.

I'm outdoors on the mountain,

but difficult to watch you now, but want to celebrate your birthday?

How lovely, Christina.

Isn't that lovely to make that effort to come on and wish Mr.

Duncan happy birthday?

Because you're all such lovely people.

Perhaps the signal isn't very good if you are.

A lot of people think if you go high up, then your phone signal will be better.

But in fact quite often it's worse

because you are then above the signal.

So you can either be blocked

by a signal because of a hill or a mountain.

But if you go to the top of a mountain or a hill,

it doesn't necessarily mean your your mobile phone signal will be better quite often.

It will be worse because you are high up and the signal is below you.

So you can actually be above the signal.

And it is Louis, his wife's birthday on the 25th of August. Wow.

I didn't realise that there was so many viewers also celebrate their birthday in August.

That's amazing. We had some last week, didn't we? Yeah.

So in most days, yes.

One person had it on the third.

I can't remember who if you had your birthday

on the 3rd of August, please let me know because I know someone.

Someone said, Mr.

Duncan, we we've got a birthday on the third.

So, Christina, I want to know,

are you actually are you what are you doing on the mountain?

And what is the name?

And are you just going for a walk or are you on a bike?

Are you are you in a four by four?

Maybe you are climbing up the side.

Yes with ropes using a long rope like we like Tom Cruise.

We don't want you to have, you know, a nasty accident while watching it. Mr.

Duncan, please, you know, very guilty.

Yeah. Don't do that.

So I'm taking.

I'm guessing it's quite safe. Oh, you.

He didn't seem sure. We.

Of course. It's my birthday today. Moving on a little bit.

We ought to have a birthday register.

Yes. Like they do at work.

Does everyone's or all the regular people that come on and watch us.

We ought to know when everybody's birthday is so that we can celebrate appropriately.

Can I just say one?

Well, I suppose a situation that a lot of people find frustrating is

if you work in an office, an office space with lots of other people,

you might find that if there are lots of people

working around you, that there is at least one person having their birthday

during a certain period of time and you might find that you have to keep buying.

Yes. Presents and very annoying and birthday cakes all the time

because all of the people at work around you, it gets a little frustrating.

We have in our team at work, we haven't done it

very much recently, but there was always like a birthday monitor.

Oh, okay.

So somebody was assigned the task of monitoring

and finding out when everybody's birthdays and then organise

icing cards or something like that or that it gets.

It's all right at first, but then it just gets a little tedious

when every week you've got to say happy birthday to,

you know, if it's a special one.

Yes, maybe 30 or 40, 50/60, that sort of thing.

Yeah, fine.

But you know, it just every other day it's

somebody's birthday when there's a large workforce

and it just gets a little and the same thing is

when somebody has a baby, they want terminations.

When somebody like Steve retires or goes for another job, it's just endless.

Okay? Except. Except for today.

Can I just say.

Except for today.

Today you are free to

to donate, please.

Yeah. You almost sound like you are putting everyone off.

Rosa.

Rosa is gathering everybody's Rosa has assigned herself as the birthday monitor.

Okay, so thank you for that, because I didn't want to do it.

Two things that I would love to do.

I would love to have a big map of the world

and maybe on the wall in here or somewhere,

or maybe a little graphic that I can show.

And I would love to know where everyone is in the world

so we can look at any country to do that.

And we would know exactly where everyone was not not for any reason.

We're not going to come around and spy on you, but because we would just like to know where you are.

It's very hard to remember all of the location and of everyone watching.

That is true and I'm sure you will understand.

But it would be great to have a map, a giant map with with with lights on.

Well, and then it lights up when somebody is on from their country and.

Well, no, that's I don't think we could do that.

Just just a reference.

So when I don't know when we see when we see Pedro, we know where he is.

When we see Palmira, we know where she is.

When we see Claudia, we know where she is.

Is Claudia here today?

I haven't seen Claudia, so she's probably at this minute

looking into somebody's mouth, drilling away.

Mika. Mika is here.

Mika, you never look at the live chat well because I keep I'm looking at it. Mr.

Juncker I'm I hold it back on the things that I want to comment and say,

look, Rosa has gathered all the information.

Petra on the 17th, okay.

Magdalena on the 19th. Pedro on the 20th.

Lewis Vice the 25th time they're the 27th

and Rosa's on the 30th.

So all those I want to take a screenshot of that. Mr.

Duncan how do we do, Steve, right there.

Let me just do it because Steve is going to take a screenshot.

I don't know why, because he's never going to look at this again.

That's not very nice.

Let me just save that.

Save two photos that he can.

It's safe now. We've got a screenshot. Yes.

So even though it's his birthday on the seventh, well I'll have to go out on the seventh at my place.

Mika. Mika.

We celebrated

my granddaughter's second birthday on the 7th of August.

So here is here. Yes.

Hello, Claudia.

Claudia is here.

We thought for a moment maybe you were working.

You see, we thought maybe you had your had your hands in someone's mouth causing someone pain and discomfort.

Yes, I had that last week. Maybe joking.

You have to go to the dentist.

I'm sure Claudia is the most gentle and of dentists and doesn't cause any pain and suffering.

You know, I sometimes imagine that dentists

I sometimes imagine dentists enjoy their job, especially when they cause pain.

Here's something this is an interesting observation about my dentist.

Yes. Right.

That I get I've been going to this dentist now probably for about ten years.

Does he does he do your your treatment naked?

No. So

he was quite he took over from somebody else.

So he was when he started, he was probably, I would say about 25, 26.

Okay, Slim, you know, and I've noticed now

over the years, he has got fatter and fatter.

He's put on a lot of weight to such an extent now that when he's working on my teeth,

all I can feel is his belly

pressing into the side of my

in to my side, which isn't particularly nice, you know.

So he's working on me now.

He's got so overweight that he can't

if Belly is pushing into me as he's doing my teeth and I'm just aware of that.

I don't like it.

I'm not a fan.

I, my dental hygienist

and lady, I can feel her boobs.

Good grief.

Sometimes they press against me.

Well, I've noticed that some women, some I'm not somebody that doesn't like to press their boobs kind.

I tell my story up against you.

One element is the right to have you things about you.

I thought you finished. I thought you finished. Yes. Yes.

When she's leaning over to get to the back of my mouth, she presses right against me.

Not on purpose. Don't get the wrong idea.

But I can feel her boobs boobs pressing against me, I think.

I'm sure some men would really like that.

I might.

Maybe some women as well they might.

But Victorian sexual harassment, I don't know.

Victoria. Victoria, hello.

Thank you very much for your lovely donation coming through now on the super chat.

Thank you very much.

You can donate through the super chat or

there is also an address going underneath just for today.

Just today, because it's my birthday and to be honest with you, I want to carry on

doing this free of charge

or else, well, maybe in the future I won't be able to do it for free.

Nico.

Nico says congratulations.

You look 35. Me.

Thank you.

And it was nice to hear.

I'll take that.

I'll take it.

$100 here. Hello?

Uh, hoping you are fine. We are. Thank you very much.

And we've also got somebody here who I haven't seen before.

Uh, Mamadou.

Mamadou from Egypt,

who is a chemistry teacher.

And thank you for telling us your name, because we wouldn't have understood that from.

From the way you've written it on your.

What you call that.

Yes, on the little icon on that.

So thank you for telling us.

You know, you're not Walter White, are you,

because he was a chemistry teacher as well.

You must be very clever to be.

I loved chemistry at school. Did you?

It was my favourite subject and I used to have

a lab at home.

My dad used to buy me all this equipment.

I used to get it from where he worked and I used to do experiments and everything.

I still love doing it as all these chemistry books,

but I

don't think you were very good at it because you kept blowing things up.

Well, I did sort of go into making sort of bombs, but.

No, no, no, you know, just for fun.

But I was.

I wanted to be an industrial chemist.

Oh, okay. Okay.

But I wasn't clever enough, man.

So maybe if I'd had you as a teacher, I can believe that, because it's quite,

you know, when you get to A-level chemistry is alright at O-level, when you start

to get to A-level and beyond it, actually you've got to be quite clever.

Same with physics.

I have no idea about where is biology.

You see, you can do that up to degree level and you can.

You don't have to be quite too clever.

Yeah, all I did at school was secondary science, which was a bit of everything,

but we never did chemistry.

Only the really clever kids got to play with the chemistry sets in the school.

So I couldn't.

I all I could do was watch from a distance as they were all heating their little test tubes.

Oh, I used to live over at over there Bunsen burner as well.

What do you think of this

man? Do

my my father.

We saw that. Yes.

Yeah, I'm having trouble.

The fact that I've chat to you. Okay.

So, yeah, my father taught me how to make gunpowder.

Yes. How many fathers do that now?

I'd probably. I'd probably been put into care.

There might be a few in the United States doing it.

And you could just walk into any chemist is back in the seventies

and 1970s in the UK you could just go in, you could buy

sodium, nitrate, sulphur

and then you got you made that, you could buy charcoal, you could make all the ingredients to make gunpowder.

Okay, Steve, the local chemist.

All right.

I'm not sure how this fits in with YouTube's terms of service.

Well, you know, so Dad showed me all this is how I used to do this when I was a child, you know?

And I nearly blew myself up. Yes.

A number of occasions in particular when I started getting onto weedkiller and sugar.

We won't go into that.

Okay.

Steve, again,

this is probably a summit we shouldn't be discussing at all.

It's a love making chemist, just in case.

We don't want to be responsible for someone out there

thinking, Oh, okay, so that's what I need.

It's why I don't think that is information that isn't widely available.

Okay, Internet.

Okay.

Steve, still you got to get the proportions right.

Otherwise it's sort of attached to him. Permanganate.

Okay, Steve, thanks.

Nexium permanganate. That was indeed. Steve

I've muted.

Steve, Steve, you we can't say things like that,

but that muting you glycerine.

Please don't say these things, Steve.

It's all on the internet.

You can use it, but you know you're not allowed to talk about it here on YouTube.

They will they will take away my channel, trust me. Yes.

We'll get back into that anyway. Right.

I might have to

I might have to do it myself to you.

So let's have a look at what I've received for my birthday.

Because to this, I don't know why this this won't stick your bounty.

This won't stick to my hands.

It's so hot I can't get my little sticker

Stick to my hat It keeps coming off because it's so hot.

Stay on my head. Let's look at your bounty.

Yes, bounty.

The amount of stuff that you've got, of course, today is my birthday.

Can we have the balloons again?

Come on, let's have the balloons.

Come on, Mr.

Duncan,

are those balloons from helium or is it hydrogen?

They'll be one of the two, probably helium and hydrogen.

Exactly.

So that would be something else for you to play around with.

Shall I show you a lovely card?

Yes. That my mother.

How many cards have you had, by the way?

No, it's okay.

I have. No, no know.

I know you're trying to embarrass me. I'm not trying to.

I had two card. Two cards?

They're physical.

Physical cards. Yes. Okay.

Yes. Well, but more wishes on the live chat.

I did have a few psychic cards, but look how many happy birthdays you've had.

Okay, Jemmy. So we just show the card.

There it is.

It's not like this is from my mother to Duncan.

It's not nice.

And it's a lovely I think it's.

Is it from a painting?

It is from a tapestry.

I think it's actually a screenprint, which is on display

at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

And this has lots of birds and even on the actual print, all of the birds are actually named.

So we know what the names of the birds are.

Absolutely.

But the original is much larger.

So this is just part of the print.

So there are there is much more to it.

So I would like to have a look at that.

The name of it is Birds of Many Climbs.

So it climbs. So that means many

different environments, doesn't it?

Yes. Temperatures, temperatures, humidity,

different different different types of climate all around the world.

Climate that's it's so hot countries, cold countries,

temperate countries temperate.

We're in a temperate country such as mild ish.

Yes. Well, except for today. Except for today.

Except for this summer.

So this is lovely.

This is the birthday card I received because it's my birthday today

and it's a beautiful card, nice message.

And also there was a donation inside here.

It was there was kind.

I spoke to your mum this morning on the phone. Who did it.

She said Mr. Duncan. Mum.

She doesn't call me. Mr. doesn't know.

She doesn't call you Mr. Duncan.

Yes, but you do always.

Only when I'm on here.

But your mother said, get yourself something nice.

Treat yourself, which I think is lovely.

It's lovely.

Did you buy me a card?

I did, but I've left that upstairs.

Okay, then. So what did you find me today, Steve?

What did you get for me?

Well, I'm sure my way there is second.

We have a donation. I'm very sorry about that.

We missed that.

Hello, Jemmy from Hong Kong.

Well, at least one of us is watching the live chat.

Is not.

I am. I saw it.

Jemmy from Hong Kong.

Best wishes, Mr..

I hope you two will stay in the pink and continue with this communication.

I'll all commission.

You can give me your live stream and lessons. P.S.

Did anyone mention Peter Sampras who shares the same birthday as you?

Pete Sampras is the tennis player.

Yes, Pete Sampras.

So is he still playing? I have no idea.

You think he is anymore?

Don't ask me about tennis.

I don't know any Sampras. It's a famous name,

but I don't think he's sort of.

Is he currently playing Jemmy?

Please tell us at this moment, is he at the moment playing tennis on a tennis court somewhere?

He might be because I've heard he likes tennis very much.

Thank you very much for your lovely donation as well.

Jemmy in Hong Kong.

If you don't want to use the super chat

by the way, you can also make a donation there, PayPal

and there is the address as well.

All donations, they all go towards this,

putting this out, keeping your equipment in order.

Yes, updating your computer lights.

You always need new lights for the studio.

There's always something that needs repairing or replacing cable.

I mean, cables are expensive, aren't they? Everything.

Once you get into production,

professional video and live streaming.

Steve, it becomes incredibly expensive.

I know

because I've got you many things, your birthday and Christmas

to help you do achieve your goals on the live stream.

So it will come as no surprise to a lot of people watching that.

One of the presents I got for Mr.

Duncan was in fact, chocolate.

So here's one that we've been buying for each other for many years. Yes.

And we like what Mr. Duncan does.

I mean, that maybe go guylian or guylian.

I'm not sure how you pronounce that

seashell chocolate.

It's that lovely.

Your manhandling me, Mr..

I'm not. I'm just I know I'm just adjusting you.

It's all back to front.

So we've been buying these for each other for a long time.

And yes, it's for Mr. Duncan.

But I will be eating at least half of them. Yes.

Isn't that amazing? So these are beautiful chocolates.

And also inside they have called praline,

which is made with I believe it's almond.

I don't know who makes these.

Mr. Duncan, do you know who makes these?

Well, I think that's the name of the company, isn't it.

Oh, it's Belgian. Yeah.

Since 1958.

Well it's.

Yes, of course I did try to get you some very posh chocolates, Mr.

Duncan called Godiva, and I've mentioned those before Godiva chocolates.

But unfortunately, their website is not working very well.

Okay.

And I wasn't able to get them for you, so I've got you these second best ones instead.

So later on we are going to eat some chocolate.

We are also going out, I believe, for a meal tonight as well.

A local place I won't say where in case we get mobbed

by all of our fans, you see, that's it.

They might all decide to travel to much.

Wenlock and try to join us at our little table.

Pete Sampras has long since retired from tennis.

I thought so.

It sounds like something back from the 19,

but we must all be of a certain age to remember.

I think Sampras was playing in the nineties, right?

That is probably about right, my sister says.

Vittoria says, gave me some chocolates some years ago and I found them.

Well, you mean she the same chocolates.

The same chocolates.

So what to you?

You had the present and then you forgot about them and then you found them later.

Were they still in date? Yes.

Have they gone all white?

Because sometimes

if you leave chocolates for a long time, they get they go white, particularly in hot weather.

They they bloom and they call it blooming

where they get all sort of white on the outside.

Right.

This is a big thing I'm going to show you now, Mr..

Do you know me?

I like big things.

So, Mr. Duncan, I bought this is the story behind this.

Do you want to tell the story? You can tell a bit of the story.

But as you know, if you have been watching, I've been talking about one particular

thing in the kitchen that keeps breaking.

Have you been talking about that? No, not at all.

Today, A but I mean, in the past in the past, we've both talked of past.

We've both actually oh, we both actually talked about it on a live stream.

In fact, one day I had a little video that I created as well.

So. Yeah.

So, Mr.

Duncan, if there's one thing Mr.

Duncan likes, probably just about as much as chocolate and that is toast.

I like toast. Mr.

Duncan likes to toast his bread spread

probably more butter on than the weight of the toast itself.

And and then put some marmalade on or some jam.

And I purchased fruit because I'm I don't really have toast.

Sometimes I do, but very rarely. Okay.

I mean, obviously with beans. Beans on toast, but not

I don't make toast in the morning, whereas you always make toast in the morning.

I like toast. You like toast. Toast.

Those a word toast.

We can talk about that later.

Different meanings for the poor.

That word is lyric.

You start to go a little, uh, what's the word?

We are off the rails. Toast?

Yes, I like toast.

You like toast?

So 20 something years ago, we can't remember exactly.

I think it must be around 25 years.

And 25 years ago, I bought Mr.

Duncan a toaster.

Yes, for I don't know whether it was Christmas or birthday.

I think it was Christmas.

And I remember at the time it was a very, very expensive toaster,

but it was obviously worth it, the money, because it lasted 25 years.

Incredible. But recently it's been going wrong.

It's been staying on when it's popped up and catching fire.

Catching fire, too.

You know, I've been worried that, you know, we'd have a house fire.

It's not a good thing when your toaster stops toasting or doesn't know when to stop.

So the taste of popping up.

But the heating elements were staying on. Yes.

And Mr. Duncan has this habit.

And you do.

You should never leave a toaster unattended.

He puts the toast in and then walks back from the kitchen into his studio.

I'm busy doing things. I'm busy.

And then, of course, when it goes, it's all right if it's not going to go wrong.

But when it goes wrong, you know, you can have some folks cut.

A long story short, I wish you would.

I've to cut a long story short.

That's what we say. That's a lot.

Don't remember trying to say, I don't want to go on any more with that story.

Please abbreviate your story.

We say To cut a long story short, I have purchased Mr.

Duncan a new toast of his birthday.

And that was what Steve bought me today.

And because Mr. Duncan loves toast, let's have a look.

I kind of just. Yeah, right. Let's have a look.

Can we actually toast some toast here in the studio live?

I've never done it before.

I've never toast to toast or made toast.

No, we could do so.

There we go. You show it, Mr. Duncan. Look at that.

Now that I have to say, that is a pretty snazzy

a very snazzy toaster.

I think that looks amazing.

I was so, so pleased with this.

He's got a nice knob. There's a nice knob there.

Can you see the knob?

So every morning I will be holding on to that knob.

There it is for Mr. Duncan. Can I push it down?

And then the toast will go in.

I'm sure you know how a toaster works. So that's it?

That's what I bought for Mr. Duncan.

You could get it in lots of different colours, but I went for cream.

I don't think it's. I think it's.

Yeah.

Part something that it wasn't, it wasn't cream, it's somewhere in between.

So I went for this colour, I remember this, this colour

you could have got black or red.

I didn't like the black because I thought it looked a bit too sombre.

This is lovely.

So I got this light bright colour system.

So I'm now hoping that this will last for another 25 years.

Or as I like to go, Alice, the rest of my life,

I don't think it's quite as well

built as the one I purchased for you 25 years ago.

But we'll see.

But you can this particular one, you can repair it. Yes.

Whereas the one I've got for Mr.

Duncan before it was sealed and you couldn't repair it. Yes.

So we're hoping now that the house is a lot safer.

Isn't that lovely? That's a nice design.

The house should be a lot safer.

Now, when I'm out working and Mr.

Jenkins making toast and leaving it for it.

All right, this is just turning into criticising my habits.

It's made in England, made in the UK,

which is very unusual for anything these days to be made in the UK.

Listen to this sound.

This this is a very satisfying sound listen to this sound.

I love the sound.

Slightly bizarre.

I know. I just like you. Take that off. I like that sound.

I don't. It's mine. It's my toaster. It's not your taste.

It's mine.

I wish I could put this in now and make some toast.

Life would not be amazing.

Unfortunately. Unfortunately, we don't have any.

Well, it's a plug. Yes.

V test v chances. Looked it up. Yes.

Do you relate?

I don't know how you pronounce it.

I haven't heard of them before, but I went on to a comparison site

and they said that this was the best toaster you could buy.

So that's why I got it for Mr. Duncan.

And I like the design. Yes.

Known for their range of heavy duty toasters. Yes.

Oh, okay. Well, I nearly got Mr. Duncan.

That isn't one of their heavy duty bonds.

It's sort of, you know, a lighter one.

Yes, but the heavy duty bonds, they don't pop up.

And I need that.

You know, when you make your toast, you want it to pop up when it's ready, it pops up.

Well, these these other ones, they don't pop up. No.

So you have to be there.

Magdalena asks, can you set the temperature?

Yes, you can.

You can control temperature if you want your toast.

Not too dark.

You can if you want it very dark.

If you like it like Mr..

Mr.. Steve likes his black, don't you?

Darker the better for me. What about the toast though?

Oh, the toast as well. Yes,

yes. Christina

says, Christina says cream is a nice colour.

It is a useful gift.

We always buy each other useful gifts.

I mean, we could have just gone out and bought a new toaster, but I thought, no, I'll buy it, Mr. Jim.

And every time he makes a toast, he can think of me.

I will think of you every time my thing pops up.

So every time, every time it pops up, I will think. Mr.

STEVE See, there we go.

Lewis is saying that this electric devices

only have a short duration. Hmm.

So it's built into them for them to break?

Yes, after a short period of time, I think

I think one of the problems nowadays, people like to buy things that are cheap.

And if they are cheap, that means they are probably not good quality.

But that one that we had, the one we've just replaced,

25 years, we've had that it was built like a tank.

So I hope that the new one, as I said, Will will last for another 25 years.

There's a good expression if something is very solidly made and you want to express to somebody

that that item is solidly made, you say it's built like a

tank because obviously tanks

are very solid vehicles.

Oh, I see.

You're not not you're not on a bike, just a container.

No, I'm on about, you know, a military tank.

Oh, I see. A weapon.

A weapon which are obviously very heavy and built to withstand,

you know, rocket attacks or whatever.

So if you say something is, oh, my new car,

it's built like a tank or that toaster, it's built like a tank.

You can say that to express the fact that you are saying it is very,

very solidly, robustly made and.

Well, my computer, it's built like a tank.

Okay. You know, my laptop is built like a tank.

I can drop it and it will still work.

So I think that's a very good expression that lots of people use in the UK.

Yeah.

To To, to give that impression that something is.

Well what would you say that the opposite of that would be.

Well if it's flimsy, if something is flimsy I don't know.

I'm not sure if there is there is a way of expressing that, that you would say it's my car.

It's very, very flimsy.

If something is delicate or might be damaged easily, one might say that something falls

or collapses like a house of cards, but that's normally something

that's not very strong to begin with, something that is weak or feeble to show the plug.

Again, because

that's interesting.

Christina is pointing out the fact that it's a different plug.

And yes, in the UK we have a three pin plug. Yes.

So it's very hard to show it in detail.

But I think you can

plug.

Uh, so that one is the, the earth isn't it.

So we always have an earth on things in the UK there not.

Where is it. Most of the continent just have to pin nets.

So this one has an extra pin and that is

in case you get an electric shock, that means that the current

will go straight to earth instead of going through your your body.

It will go straight to the ground.

And then you don't have to worry about flying across the room.

Maybe the earth wire is built into one of the other two pins in Europe.

I don't know how that works. That'll be interesting to know.

So we have a separate earth.

So three, three pins.

If you are coming to the UK, you need to have this sort of plug.

Or maybe you can buy something that you can you can connect your

plugs because you

might just have two pins on your plugs, but we have three

because we like to be awkward.

Yes. Inaki says Inaki says yes.

Luis planned obsolescence.

That's a good phrase, planned obsolescence.

So the device is only designed to last

a certain period of time and then it will just stop working. Yes.

And of course, that's just the sort of thing that we shouldn't be doing now.

In a world where we want to reduce consumption and CO2 levels,

we should be building things that last a long time so that you don't have to keep replacing them,

because every time you make something, it's making more CO2.

And I purchase now everyone's head of Bosch.

Okay.

Bosch, who make very, you know, their German company make very expensive equipment.

And I bought thinking many years ago when we were in Bonneville

when we were in Wolverhampton the seemed they give the we were

you were about to give the address of our previous house.

That's not a good idea.

I'm talking to you, forgetting I was talking to everybody else.

So when we were living in

a different part of the UK, let's put it that way, just say Wolverhampton then.

I bought a Bosch fridge.

Fridge freezer.

Okay, a Bosch fridge freezer.

Thinking this is a quality item.

It will last for many years.

How long did it last for?

It lasted for ten years.

Then it broke. Yes.

And I thought, well, I'll be able to get this repaired.

No, I'm not sure.

Can you repair refrigerators?

Well, you used to be able to, but I got the Bosch engineer to come out and look at this fridge.

And he said, We can't fix that.

Well, I don't think they even came round.

They just said, No, it can't be fixed.

It would be more expensive to fix it than it would be to get a new one.

And we haven't got the parts anyway.

So I had to throw away a Bosch fridge ten years old

because it couldn't be repaired because it was built.

And he said to me at the time, he said, It's there

and they're only built to last ten years and then a break.

Oh, well, I think I think everything that is in everything only has a certain lifespan.

Even houses, you will construct a building

and normally in there with their plan and they often include

how long that building will will be able to survive

or stand or go without any major repairs.

So I think it's it's not unusual.

We have a lot of chat at the moment.

We do. Well, there we go. So

Francesca was saying Millais.

Millais is a good brand.

Yes. Millais and AEG

Millais is it isn't all freeze up. Yes.

So after I bought a meal, a fridge freezer

because because Francesca, I read that

that was the best quality that you could get.

I think they're even above AEG. Yeah.

Where is Bosch? I think is quite is lower down now. Yes.

Bosch used to be like a top brand, but I don't think it is anymore.

Lots of good German manufacturers that with German

not as hot German cars that last a long time, mind you.

Having said that, I've read about the Ford Mondeo.

Okay, let's not talk about the most reliable car on the road

Petra says we have three pins as well in the Czech Republic,

but the pins have a circular shape.

That is true.

Yes, because there are some that have circular pins

instead of square pins, but in fact, always used to be

many, many years ago, way back, way back in time,

I think it was in the forties and fifties. Are

three pin plugs used to have round pin.

They were. Yes, they were all round.

That's correct.

Because when my grandparents died

they still had equipment with three pins on the on the plugs.

Yeah.

Well they do have three pin I mean three rounds to get around that

instead of this sort of rectangular cross-section.

Yes, it is interest.

I wonder why they changed them. I don't know.

I always thought the round ones were quite good.

And it also means you can travel to other countries as well

without having to buy an adaptor.

Because these days the reason a lot of equipment goes out of date

is because the technology is so rapidly evolving

and a lot of a lot of devices now that they're they just they go

they become obsolete simply because the technology inside is old like televisions.

Now, you can have by television that in ten years, five years

time, you can't get the updates because it's it's you know, it's out of date.

By the way,

it is my birthday today.

Happy birthday to.

Let's have those lovely balloons again.

I love those balloons.

I've got a pen.

I would be bursting those balloons just to take the fun away.

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me.

Giovanni says Hello, Mr.

Duncan and Mr. Steve from Italy.

A big happy birthday to the birthday boy.

That's me, by the way, from Italy.

Do you fancy a nice Italian ice cream?

I will be honest with you.

Yes, I fancy a nice Italian happy ice cream.

Happy to see what a happy birthday.

And it's it happy birthday and a big thank you for your help at

and then the company afterwards. Yes.

Well some people come to watch even even though they they understand English

people just want to come and spend time together,

not only with us, but also with you as well on the life

trying to think of Italian ice cream and what it's called.

Is it something free Dough Sofrito or something like that?

Okay.

There is a name.

There is a particular name to Italian ice cream.

Please tell us Giovanni.

Please tell us.

Is it sofrito? Something like that. Or there's

certain in

the UK restaurants when you see that name, you know it's Italian ice cream.

Is it Cornetto.

Just a one cornetto.

Give it to me.

Delicious ice cream from Italy.

You see, that was a popular advert

that was promoting that particular brand of ice cream.

You can get them everywhere they were available across Europe.

Co-ordinator Cornetto.

Oh, I could just.

I could just eat a lovely ice cold.

Cornetto Yes, but is a name for a certain type of Italian ice cream.

Okay. Uh, is it soft read?

Please tell us.

Please tell us.

Please, please tell us

that.

Uh, it's very nice.

It's quite sort of dense.

Yeah.

Solid ice cream, which is lovely.

Yes. Um. Oh, my eyes itching now.

Oh, right.

So how long are we saying on for Mr.

Duncan? Well, until we get bored.

Petra is working and using a very big word.

Concurrently. Oh, concurrently?

Yes. You might.

You see, concurrent to things

that are going on at the very same time.

So Petra is concurrently working and watching us at the same time.

So thank you for that word.

I don't think we've ever used that word before. No.

Concurrent on Mr.

Duncan's live stream. Yes.

To do something concurrently is to be doing

one thing at the same time as another, not to be confused with consecutively.

Yes, consecutive means

or consecutively means one thing after the other.

So in a particular order consecutively,

like I can series. Hmm.

So that would be a similar thing. Yes.

Oh, I see we're teaching English here.

This isn't just this isn't just a laugh a minute here.

We're actually teaching.

It certainly is not a laugh a minute.

Definitely not a laugh.

I mean, Magdalena says, what's your favourite ice cream flavour?

Who's yours?

I presume she's asking you.

Oh, I see mine.

I like mint chocolate chip.

I have to be honest, I do like mint chocolate.

Chocolate chip?

What about you?

Gelato.

That's what I'm thinking of. Gelato.

Thank you, Mika.

That I believe is Italian ice cream.

My favourite.

Maybe I'm thinking of semi Frida.

Is that ice cream? There is semi free dough

ice cream, Giovanni is that ice cream?

But I think I was thinking of gelato.

Okay. Oh yes.

Semi free to ice cream.

I think that's what I was thinking of that. Yeah.

But we, we've got gelato as well so my favourite ice cream flavour.

Rum and raisin.

Rum and raisin.

Because I like dried fruit anyway, particularly raisins.

And whenever I see rum and raisin, it sounds exotic,

you know, combining raisins and rum together in an ice cream.

And I used to make my own.

Mm. I would just get normal vanilla ice cream.

Did that also explode.

I would get normal vanilla ice cream.

I would put in some actual rum

and then some raisins and stir it all up till it slightly melted.

Lemon raisin, slightly exotic but nice failing

that plain old vanilla with raisins in it.

Anything with raisins in?

Yes, but I'm glad I'm so glad we cleared that up.

Pistachio? Yes.

Pistachio is.

Quite nice. Green.

I think the ice cream is green, isn't it? That's right.

A strange green colour, this pistachio pistachio nuts and sort of green in the middle um.

They are uh.

Oh, gelato is just the Italian word for ice cream.

Yeah, it's.

I was, I think, I think maybe the confusion

was I think maybe the viewers were thinking you were you're

trying to work out what the word was for ice cream in Italian.

But there is a brand.

I think what Steve is looking for is the actual brand.

There is a certain brand of ice cream.

I don't think we're going to find it.

To me, free dough is what I.

I don't know how you pronounce that, but yes, it's for me.

I hope we're going to get some Italian ice cream sent to us for all of this.

Well, it would melt

in the heat, Mr..

We never get here.

No. Well, I suppose there are ways of transporting it

and then.

Well, says that they like Manuel.

I'm presuming I can see your picture.

Yes, uh, a lot of sort of.

Paolo Cortado.

Oh, uh, is.

Oh, yeah.

I can't actually see that. It's not like that big a can.

I know it might be, but you can't make that big.

No, actually, you can't make that bigger.

Disney, about the text.

So was I on the live stream?

Hello Jemmy Lee, it's so nice to see you here

on my special day because it is my birthday today.

You are semi free means it's not cold, says Christina.

So semi thawed maybe.

Oh, so maybe it's soft.

Maybe soft ice cream. Mm.

Like the thing you can get here, they pull down that machine, the handle and all of that.

Suddenly free soft ice cream will come out.

There was there was a rumour that Margaret Thatcher invented that, but in fact, apparently it's not true.

So semi feeder means slightly cold.

Is it slightly content.

Yes. Soft.

I they were learning Italian here.

Yes, I think it means soft.

So soft ice cream said the other ice cream.

I like Mr. Coconut.

I'm coconut cream.

I don't like it because in a lot of Indian

in the UK and a lot of Indian and Chinese restaurants,

they always have the coconut halves with coconut ice cream,

which is sort of vanilla with with coconut in it.

And I love and I remember when we went to France,

my parents took us to France when I was a young lad.

Oh, I was quite young.

We went on a driving holiday to France.

They were still building the Eiffel Tower, so that would have been in the 1970s and.

I remember they had ice cream.

Coconut ice cream was quite popular.

You could you couldn't get it in the UK.

I've never seen it before, but we went to France in the night.

I would probably 1975 or something

and they had the coconut half the coconut shell.

Yeah.

With the coconut ice cream inside and it's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted.

But it was like 20 years before we got that in the UK.

So that by the way, the holiday to France was not very nice

because we spent two weeks driving around in a hot car and the days before

you had air conditioning in cars

and all we did was visit cathedrals and various churches around France.

It was a bit boring, I suppose, if you like that of thing it would be wonderful.

But Mum and Dad liked it, but it wasn't much fun for me and my sister.

They were trying to open your mind

to all of the culture of France and let's face it, there is a lot of culture

around, around Europe wherever you go. MM

Ice cream banana cake is a says Mr.

Lovato. No,

coconut in chocolate is a nice a tasty match, says Vittoria.

Definitely. Oh banana flavour. Yes.

I've just realised what you said.

Banana flavour, ice cream.

We've got people talking now.

Yes. Semi free domaines not totally cold.

Well we've learnt, we've learnt some I presume that's Italian. Yes.

Well don't send pictures. Made another donation.

Another one. Another one.

Good grief.

Goodness me.

How generous, Petra. Thank you very much indeed.

If we if we stay on for another hour, maybe we will keep getting them.

What's your favourite ice cream flavour? Petra?

Petra. Vanilla?

Vanilla.

Petra says yes.

You can't beat good old vanilla.

Vanilla goes with so many things.

It goes then and you can add other things into it.

So you can add chocolate powder into it.

You can add some raisins and some rum chocolate chips.

That's like the base for everything.

And if you get very high quality

ice cream

like Haagen-Dazs, I wouldn't say that that's high quality.

That is high quality ice cream. I that's my favourite.

I think it's overpriced.

It's overpriced, but it's worth it.

And if you get vanilla,

vanilla ice cream you can get cheap vanilla ice cream

or you can get with the real vanilla flavoured pods in.

Oh yes, it is proper vanilla flavour, not artificial.

It's gorgeous. Hmm.

Um, yes, it is.

It is nice.

I remember when your mum stayed with us a few weeks ago. We.

We did buy lots of ice cream and your mum did like vanilla.

The vanilla ice cream.

Semi cold.

Fredo means cold. Yes.

Well let me get we've learnt something so if something is semi Fredo

it means it is not completely frozen.

I think it means soft, soft ice cream knock half

is because semi quaver in music means it's

half the value of a quaver. Yes.

I like quavers.

Yes I love I love having a bag of quavers semi.

Yeah.

And that's presumably is Italian because most musical terms are Italian.

Never get low fat ice cream.

Oh, no, never. It is disgusting.

No, I think if you're going to have something like ice cream, it has to be full.

It has to have the cream and and everything.

I want to feel my arteries hardening as I'm as I'm eating it.

So we've got a lot

of people we've really touched on a subject.

Well, it's food.

Did you hear my stomach? Yes. It sounds like you're hungry.

I am hungry.

And we've got to go out quite early today. It's at 7:00.

We're eating, Mr. Duncan.

We're having a meal tonight to celebrate.

To celebrate what, though?

To celebrate my birthday

each year, Mr.

Duncan always gets very excited on his birthday.

Like a five year old child.

I am like a child.

I screamed like a girl this morning when Mr.

Steve gave me the gift and I opened it and I saw it was a lovely toaster.

So from now on, every morning I can have some lovely, delicious, hot buttered toast.

He's nice. He's an ice cream.

You like Mr.

Duncan?

I think this good could overtake everything he said.

Then cover it.

I can't see it. I know because I want to surprise you.

A man apparently in a

you can get all sorts of different tastes or different flavours of ice cream in Italy.

Yes. How about mushroom ice cream?

How much room?

Ice cream?

Ice cream. Ice cream?

I don't think so.

Well, for one, you hate mushrooms.

So combining that in ice cream is not something that you would enjoy.

So, yes.

No, I don't think

Parmigiano is that

Parma?

Is that cheese?

Is that like parmesan cheese?

Parmesan cheese, maybe cheese flavoured cheese even.

I now know.

I have to say, you might have something there.

You've hit on something that cheese flavoured

or ice cream with.

I don't think there's such a thing.

There is Italy I think. Yes, but there should be there should be one here.

There should be a type of ice cream here that you can buy.

And it has little pieces of cheese.

So what is Parmigiano?

Is that is that cheese?

Is it parmesan?

Is it parmesan cheese.

Yes, it sounds like that we put here in minestrone soup.

Palmira is going to walk the dog back

and on the way she's going to buy some ice cream.

Or are you going to her local ice cream shop?

Uh, for a walk with my friend's dog.

So you're a dog walker, so see you later. And also a big

help to your dog as well.

Isn't that nice?

Yes, to the dog is not barking.

Know that

I'm feeling hungry.

We're talking about food.

We've got. We've got chocolates in front of us, Mr. Duncan.

We're talking about ice cream that we were talking about.

Toast. Toast.

Oh, by the way, we didn't explain the other meaning of toast. Yes.

So toast is obviously bread

that is sort of toasted, i.e.

slightly burnt. Yes.

So so maybe you you will make the toast you will heat the toast using direct heat

and it will slowly go brown on the outside.

So that is toast.

However, it can also be used as a verb.

If you are making toast,

if you put your toast in the toaster,

you toast something.

However, there is another verb, isn't there another verb for toast? Yes.

If you're celebrating something

and you have maybe a glass of champagne or a bottle of water, it's somebody's birthday.

Yes, maybe.

Yes, you might.

You toast them.

You're celebrating. Cheers.

Raise your glass. Cheers. Cheers.

And you say I am going to make a toast.

To Mr. Duncan.

It is his birthday today.

Can we all say happy birthday to Mr.

Duncan? Isn't that nice? So you are toast.

It just means you are inviting some kind of speech, doesn't it, really?

Or. Or just.

Well, you're getting everyone to join together in the in the celebration.

It So at a wedding you will toast the wedding party

to the bride and bridegroom.

A toast, happy and long life in your marriage.

And then you will have a drink.

You probably have champagne. Happy birthday, Mr. Duncan.

Many happy returns for the day.

Hope you live long and prosper as the Klingons say.

Yes, it was toast.

Is it the Klingons or the Vulcans of the celebration?

Oh, it's the Vulcans, not the Klingons.

The Klingons say a cult.

Oh, no. Oh,

something like that.

It sounds like Welsh.

We got any Klingons.

Does that

have we got any Klingons watching?

You were trying to learn English.

Did you have to say that?

Of course there is another meaning to the word Klingon.

I get a lot of Klingons sometimes.

Oh, nerves spilt everything down me.

I've got water now.

But you have to do that.

Mr. Steve does that quite often.

So Klingons are obviously, you know,

an alien race seen in Star Trek.

They're warriors alien warrior race and a warrior race from from the planet.

What are Klingons?

What are they from?

I was thinking of that. What planet the Klingons come from.

Yes I do.

You know, I've got I've got one on my starboard side, you know, covered in water. Mr.

Duncan. I've got Klingons on the starboard side.

Yes, that's the song, isn't it?

But yes.

So what planet?

A Klingons from Mr.

Duncan, do you know?

Does anybody know what planet Klingons come to?

If you are a Star Trek fan, which I doubt that

we've got many watching, but

what planet do Klingons come from?

Where?

Where do your Klingons come?

So we know where. We know where. Vulcan come from.

They come from Planet Vulcan.

Yes, but maybe they come from Klingon.

But where the Klingons come from, the planet Klingon

can everyone please stop saying Klingon?

Well, we better get it out of the way.

We better explain the other.

Oh, no meaning for the word Klinghoffer.

No, because it's disgusting. It is disgusting.

It refers to people who, you know, if you don't wipe your bottom properly

after having a poop and we say that you have Klingons, it's disgust.

I'm sorry. It is disgust.

If you are eating your meal at the moment I do apologise, but it is my birthday

and I am allowed to be slightly disgusting now and again.

It's a new rule.

It's a sort of it's a word to describe something

not very nice happening in the nether regions.

Christina says Marzipan Do. You know what?

You don't see marzipan very often anymore.

Everything used to have marzipan on it, covering it.

You don't see marzipan meanwhile anymore.

You often see it on wedding cakes.

Wedding cakes will often have marzipan.

And that's made with almond, isn't it? It is.

It is almonds or almonds. Yes.

You can pronounce that in two different ways when you say almonds is.

But if you look at the spelling of it, you

and some people do pronounce it almonds.

I would have thought I thought you would have pronounced it aliments.

No, but it's almonds.

Oh well that's how you pronounce the L.

No, but some people do, so it doesn't matter as long as they know that you.

You're all about nuts.

Nobody is the slightest interest has the slightest interest in Star Trek

because nobody has told us what planet Klingons come from.

No, I know where they can be,

but we know where they can be closer to home. Yes.

And that would that be the verb?

They might be they might be from Uranus.

Vitus is now.

I see. You see.

Yeah. You see. He's not just a pretty face.

There is a brain up here.

There is, Cronus says Ni trem.

Oh, that's right. I think it is. I think you're right.

Chronos has changed because you mentioned Cronus earlier.

Yeah, we should have known that, but with a K.

So that's the homeworld of the Klingon tribunals with a K, not with a C.

Oh, I see.

But it sounds the same, doesn't it?

It sounds the same, yes.

They're from Cronus, Klingons, from Chronos.

There you go.

So are they always, you know, are they very particular with their time?

Has they always on time?

Have their battles? No.

There we go.

So Vitus, so inspired by our talk of ice cream, is now actually eating ice cream.

You're kidding.

No, that's what Beta says.

Hey, what flavour is it? Beta? Yes. Please tell us.

Please tell us.

You're already making me suffer.

So now you have to tell me what the ice cream actually. Yes.

What flavour is it?

It's not Klingon flavour, is it? Klingon flavour?

My favourite ice cream is blue

in Spain Alba and B 95.

We've got a particular type of ice cream that is blue in Spain.

I mean, call it

p2 fo the two bit of food I do for that.

Sounds nice. Blue ice cream. Blue two.

What what flavour? That.

It's not fair, says Petra. No, it isn't.

No, it is not fair, Vitus.

Vitus is now taunting us.

Taunting, taunting. He's making us all suffer.

He's saying, Look, I have ice cream and you don't, and you would be right.

We don't we don't have any ice cream.

Anarchy.

There is an ice cream maker at home, homemade ice cream without colouring and additives.

So in dark, he's got an ice cream maker. Mm hmm.

And can buy these we I bought one years ago.

And you know what?

You know what happens when you buy these devices like bread makers?

You used it.

Ice cream makers. I think you used it twice. Exactly.

And then never used it ever again.

It's in the cupboard and we've never used it since because it's a bit

well a laborious it's not very good one.

Can I say hello to the duchess.

We have the duchess here.

Yes, hello duchess.

Yes, Mr.

Duncan and Mr. Steve, how are you today?

I'm in a good mood.

The reason is because it is my birthday today. Yes.

Mr. Steve is trying to burst my balloon.

A little pin a pain.

You've got a you're going to try and just put it down.

Oh, yes, there it is.

I nearly said something then.

Now you don't have to apologise, Vitus.

We like to know that things are going on.

We are inspiring people to do things.

We live so wonderful.

Enjoy your vanilla ice cream.

We might have some tonight at the restaurant where I'm taking you out.

Yes, yes, we might we might have some sort of that all the time to me, Mr.

Toki, putting things in the face. Um.

Oh. Vittoria uses a yoghurt maker every day

that they're sending out thoughts of buying a yoghurt maker.

I think that will that will end up in the same cupboard as the ice cream maker and the bread maker.

We are using the slow cooker, though, but we didn't buy that.

We were given that. Yes. Your mum.

Yes. We're using the slow cooker all the time

because it's only like 120 watts

and our electricity bills have come down because we're not using the the

oven very often now we're only using the slow cooker

and it's like a 10th of the amount of energy that it uses.

So, so later this year, because of all of the energy bills are becoming higher and higher.

We I think Mr.

Steve, myself, we will have to we will have to sit in front of a candle to keep ourselves warm.

And that's it.

That's all we will be able to do, because everything will be too expensive.

But we have at least we have the slow cooker like this

candle remain not quite the same as that

because it's not that what's happening this I don't know why this keeps coming off.

It's because of the heat.

But blow your candle again, Mr. Duncan.

On the count of three. Okay.

A birthday candle.

One, two, three.

Thank you.

Very sweet place up again.

Yes, we do this sometimes a lighter.

Did we do this earlier? One make a wish.

One, two, three.

It didn't come true.

Unfortunately, the wish did not come true.

I don't know. It's so hot in here.

Even this won't stick to my hat.

It keeps.

It keeps coming off. The glue is melting.

Look, it's so hot in here.

Everything's melting, including me.

Just wishes you lots of happiness in the coming future.

I need it.

It might one day. Who?

Ah, I think one day I will have some happiness.

One day, maybe foetuses.

The tragedy of getting old.

So many candles and so little cake.

Yes, well, you have to be careful, because at the moment no one can have birthday parties.

Did you know that here in England they've actually banned birthday parties

because no one can actually have a birthday cake with candles on because it's a fire hazard

so that they've actually banned the sale of birthday cakes.

So instead, you just have to sit and look at a slice of bread.

Is that Mr. Duncan?

You have to look at a slice of bread instead.

Where have they banned birthday cake? England.

They banned birthday cakes.

They banned them because you can't light candles.

You're joking to blow them out.

Why don't they just ban candles? No.

Well, well, quite often they will be lit on birthday cakes

and barbecues as well.

Outside barbecue, they banned those.

You're going to ban those? I don't think they've banned birthday cakes.

You can't you can't have barbecues anymore.

No, that is true.

Because your your barbecue might fall over and then everything will catch fire.

Well,

there was a horrible,

horrible story a few weeks ago, you know, when we had those 40 degrees.

Okay, we're going to just cheer everyone up.

Well, no, I was expecting when everyone's having fires, but there was

this very and usually it's never happened before near to London.

Oh, grass fire. Yes.

Led to a lot of homes spread

the fire went into other people's gardens and burnt the houses down.

This was on the outskirts of London.

And you know what started the fire, Mr.

Duncan, was it?

It was a compost heap, not a birthday cake?

No. Somebody because in the UK

it's very popular for gardeners

to put all the waste, say you are cutting the grass

and you have the grass cuttings, you're cutting down,

you're trimming your bushes and you have lots of leaves and lots of greenery

and instead of putting it into a bin, people make a compost heap.

A compost heap, yes.

So all the green matter breaks down in the compost heap.

And then after a year or two, you can then it all breaks down.

Then you can put that on your garden.

So why did it catch fire?

Well, compost heaps get very hot in the middle,

very hot once you put grass cuttings and leaves and all sorts of things

and on top and cuttings from bushes and things, it all breaks down and gets very hot.

The bacteria generate a lot of heat.

So organic matter, organic matter breaking down generates a lot of heat, but it's all in a big pile.

And what's happened is that the actually was so hot,

it caught fire and then set fire to other people's houses.

So be careful.

Be careful of having it must have been a very big compost heap.

And of course, people often put them, they make their own with wood, wooden.

They make like a wooden cage out of out of wood and then put the compost inside.

So it must have got so hot it set fire to the wooden structure around it.

So yeah.

And then because everything was dry, the fire spread really spread.

So somebody was doing something to save the planet with a compost heap. Yes.

To mulch on the garden, which then burnt down a lot of houses

and created some released CO2 into the atmosphere.

Well, that's something I want to know.

All these fires that are taking place across France, Spain, Italy,

Portugal, states, Australia, how much CO2 do they generate?

Just every country in the world is having a fire now. Yes.

So how much CO2 is being released into the atmosphere when

thousands of hectares of land.

Hectares? Yes.

What is what is a hectare?

So yes, you measure sort of land area don't you, in hectares.

I like acres.

Well acres but there are so many, so many acres in a hectare and I don't know what that is now.

Heck is it seven or six or something. I don't know.

Don't ask me.

I don't know what a hectare is in a measurement.

I what an acre is, but an acre that is an acre is I think a football pitch is about

and I was sitting down for so long last night I ended up with a couple of acres

I think a football pitch is

maybe slightly less or slightly

bigger than an acre, and that's much more clear.

But A hectare is so many acres, but I don't know what it is.

Somebody can look it up and I can Google it when we're on.

So the point is the point is like tens of thousands of hectares of land are all burning.

That's releasing lots of CO2.

But how much in proportion to, you know, driving a car, for example?

Yes, I want to know, you know, if you burn

a thousand hectares of land, well, you know, this is not happening on purpose.

I know it is.

In fact, I like to think if this is a sort of cycle.

So you have the cycle of heat increasing

and then everything becomes dry and then you have fires,

which then of course pollutes the atmosphere even more.

Yeah. So it's a little bit like a cycle.

I like to see the weather and the seasons and everything

that happens in nature as a cycle and I think everything is so in nature.

Everything is a cycle or circle.

So as you go round and round you see the same things happening.

But each time it goes round, the problem increases.

And I think that's what's happening at the moment.

So because one thing has an impact on another thing,

which then creates an even worse problem. Yes.

And it goes round and round forever.

Ever.

Uh, Giovanni.

Giovanni, why do you say like like that?

Because it's Italian.

Yes, that's what I knew, too, that day.

I think I've done that correctly.

So has asked about your air.

Fryer has remembered.

Oh, the air.

Now, that was a present as well, wasn't it?

Giovanni Rossetti

I have a nice, fluffy, frozen single link.

I'll have you frozen. We haven't. Yes.

Oh we haven't frozen in a particularly nice.

Oh it's you know it's just you I think every frozen.

Are we still online. Yes.

Well I'm still, I'm still moving on mine so we're okay.

So it must be this.

I've had this. It's you.

You've done something. You've broken it.

Yes. Patches talking about awful things going on in the world.

And isn't it better just to come on here and speak together?

Yes. Yes.

Well, I always say that talking is the best way, solving any problem in any situation.

And one of the problems with many relationships, whether it's in the family

or maybe in a marriage or even between two countries

or two people with opposing views,

once they stop talking, that is when you have the problem. The

I forget how long we sang on for Mr.

Duncan. I'm getting hungry. You are getting hungry, are you?

We will stay for a few more moments and then we will go.

We will go and we are going to celebrate my birthday.

I don't think we're going into the garden because.

Well, here it is. Look at look at the garden.

I have to say, the garden does look nice on camera there it is at the moment outside.

So you can see everything looks lovely, although it is a little bit dry.

Some of some of Mr.

Bush's are not very well at the moment.

Well we are probably they are talking about well certain parts of the UK already have a hope.

Oh host pipe band.

I was just about.

What was that.

I was just burping that as I was speaking. Mr. Duncan.

Lovely. Um,

is so yes, they're talking about having a

hosepipe ban, having a hoop.

So obviously if you might use a hose

to clean your car to water your garden,

um, and activities like that, if there's a shortage of water

and I think we are now in officially in, in a drought.

Yes, I think it's official.

We've had many consecutive days of high temperatures

and no rain over many parts of England.

And now it's official, isn't it?

Think it is the word drought.

We have a drought.

There is now officially a water shortage,

a drought that means a period a long period of time

when you don't get any rainfall, a drought,

uh, and you can use that word.

In other words, you don't have to use it to mean

a drought

in terms of lack of water, a lack of anything, a lack of anything.

You can use the word drought.

Uh, probably.

We wouldn't do that very commonly, would you?

Well, you can say a drought if there's a lack of a supply of something

or maybe something that's normally available.

Everything everywhere.

But yes, it's sometimes used figuratively as well.

But but in its general term, drought means

water shortage, a shortage of water to the point Magdalena

Magdalena is going, but she has donated she has said to PayPal.

A little gift to you.

Thanks for the work.

I've got to leave now. Enjoy your birthday.

Thank you very much as well, my colleague Magdalena.

And hopefully see you on Sunday.

So people are starting to go now.

That's fine.

Someone is eating a chocolate bar.

No, they're asking if we will.

Oh, I see.

I'm just starting to wonder whether you can read know we could have a chocolate you into chocolate.

Thank you to you.

Well, is there anything I'm worried about?

Is the fact that they may have melted once we start opening those,

this might just be this might just be liquid chocolate inside.

So let's have a look, shall we?

I'm sure a lot of people want to see the chocolate, so I think this is a good way of ending.

Yesterday's live stream is to actually eat

some chocolate.

And this is one of my birthday presents

that I received today amongst all the other gifts.

Can I say thank you very much, your lovely donations today.

And apparently there are some also waiting for me on PayPal as well.

Thank you.

It isn't something I do.

I don't do it all time.

But today I can smell the chocolate.

Mr. Duncan.

Ooh, amazing.

It says on the front, which is slightly worrying.

Uh, improved recipe.

Yeah. Now, whenever you see that on

one of your favourite

foods, I often I now get very suspicious, because often when they say

new improved recipe, it's never as good as the previous one.

What it means is you've made changes so.

So making this product is cheaper. Exactly.

And now it will taste like crap.

So we're telling you it's improved, but it's only improved because we're making more profit.

Steve So let us see.

Oh, yes, look at that.

Oh, salvage we.

Would you like to have a look?

Shall we show?

Oh, look.

Would you like one Steve. I would like one have one have.

You can.

Oh my goodness. They are melted Mr. Duncan.

I told you.

Blimey, this do

they feel melted? Let me go and get a spoon.

Can I just say they've melted?

That they are no longer solid.

They've actually melted.

Steve has gone away because they've melted.

So they are.

They're all soft. So use a spoon.

We'll have to put them in the fridge.

This is now turned into a dessert.

It's another met.

Look at that.

Oh, my goodness.

They've melted. Well, they've all melted.

By the way, the studio is very hot in here

it is around 30, maybe 36 degrees in here.

The taste the same that I can. I try.

So then I put them in the fridge.

I did not think I would using a spoon to eat know.

That's funny.

That's very funny.

Oh, my goodness.

Look at that.

They've literally melted in the

that's a disaster. So

these are supposed to be chocolates, but they're literally like dessert.

I'm going to put them in the fridge.

Oh, my God.

Okay, that

those chocolates have completely melted.

Well, I've never spooned chocolate

colour. Just say they are actually.

That is actually, if anything, that is better than it was before.

But then maybe it's because it's warm. Oh,

that was gorgeous pictures laughing.

I'm not surprised because those chocolates were supposed to just take them out and eat them.

Were they actually in Mr. Duncan studio?

I bet it's throw. What's the temperature in here?

I've just said I've just told you what, 35, 36.

It's all these hot lights. They've melted the chocolate.

So has Mr. Duncan. I'm sorry. That was one of your.

Anyway, we've put them in the fridge.

I apologise and I want more. Hmm.

That might be an way of eating chocolate.

We might have started a new trend.

You see melting things and then eating them. Yes.

Yes, it is.

It's. It's

by Florence.

By Florence.

Thanks for being here.

Oh, my God.

Says B to C.

That was

we weren't expecting.

I did wonder because I did say as we open them, I wonder if that melted because

and they have they're just like, that was rather funny, I must admit.

That was funny.

Yes. A number of people have found that funny.

Yes, Christine, I watched TV very serious

drought in many places in the UK.

But I think

but not in not not really in Ireland.

Not in Scotland

and not really in the north of England.

There isn't a drought.

They've been having quite a bit of rain,

but I think France is having the worst drought

its ever had on record and it's all over France,

I believe that's what we're seeing in the news.

They're talking about France a lot and lots of reporters

going to France and reporting on the serious drought there now.

But you can see how hot it is in here.

All that water has gone already.

It's already dried.

But you know what it's like.

You know what the media are like.

They always they was like a disaster story.

Something like this is great.

They can go on about droughts and hosepipe bans

or disease is and you get a £2,000 fine if you use it.

There's about five new diseases that everyone's

talking about, including one that we haven't seen for a long time.

Exactly. Polio is back, isn't it?

Polio is back.

It's like this.

Like UK and America. Yes.

Which is unheard of, I don't think. Anyway.

But yes.

So drought's talking about both of talk about.

Yes, so yes, all of that still.

But of course they love that story, the media.

But you know in two weeks time we'll be having floods

and that story will disappear because it will not stay like this.

Not for long. For long it will rain winters on the way.

I hope everything be all right.

We might be celebrating Christmas in the sunshine

and everyone trying to keep warm.

There is one thing we might need some air conditioning in the studio.

I think so. Maybe for next year. Maybe.

Maybe you could do, you know, some ask for donations, get an air conditioning machine.

So that we can eat chocolate in the studio that's not confused without using a spoon.

Maybe next year we'll see.

We'll see what happens with the weather.

It might not be hot next year.

It might be completely cold and wet.

Yeah, that's why the World Cup takes place in November and December.

Yes, exactly.

I wonder.

I went past a pub the other day.

Mr. Duncan, did you last Saturday?

The World Cup does not take place in November and December,

doesn't it?

Well, not normally in the UK it doesn't.

I think you

on to buy it because the moment it's in Qatar,

the word yes.

Anyway, what I was saying was I went past

on Saturday, we had a choir concert

and we sang some lovely songs and we had a lovely time.

But when I was driving back home, I went past this pub

and it was full of people.

Fact there was a pub crawl and there were they were all shouting and drinking and partying

and the top of their voices about and they were all talking about football.

And I couldn't understand why.

And apparently it was the first day even my mother said to me,

So don't you know, last Saturday was the first day

of the of the football season had started.

But when did it end?

It doesn't seem as if it ended, but it's supposed to.

I don't know when it ends after one of the curse, isn't it.

I think because because they've had the other the they've had the euro football as well.

How are they with the women's teams as well?

So it does seem as if football actually didn't stop it

because there always seems to be something happening on television and they've been a local match.

So I was in Wolverhampton and Wolverhampton had lost

Oh Dear to a rival team.

There was a lot of fighting in the streets.

That was it. They weren't fighting. No, it's too hot.

They were so pleased to be outside.

It's too hot to fight with their friends, drinking

and having fun with family and friends.

But it was quite you know, I find it a bit frightening because, you know, you walk past a tub

and there's lots of sort of drunk alpha males, okay, on display, that sort of thing.

What are you doing?

Singing, you wimp, and come and beat me up.

Okay.

Well, what were you walking through the street and singing?

No, but they would have heard it in the church.

Probably, probably.

And they were all, you know, my show, Alpha Male.

Where is this going, by the way? Nowhere.

I'm just trying to keep talking right up until the hour.

I think we should wait until exactly 4:00. Yes.

And then what?

And just say goodbye.

Oh, and then and then go. Right.

We're actually, you know, this is let's pretend that we're a professional.

We're actually on television and we have to keep talking right up until the hour

when they when they the adverts come on. Yes.

Well they don't, they, they normally stop about 4 minutes.

That's true to the hour.

So we're actually going on too long.

I think you are talking about radio stations.

Radio stations generally will have to talk up to the hour, the top of the hour.

Exactly. My live streams going again.

Yes. I don't know. Mine's all right. I say.

Well, what does that still working, is it?

Oh, right. Okay.

Yes. Well, it's been lovely being here on your birthday, Mr.

Duncan.

It's been lovely being here with you on my birthday as well.

Good. That's wonderful.

So now we've agreed on that.

So now what are we going to do? I'm going to make you a cup of tea.

A lovely cup of tea.

We might sit outside in the garden if we can find a nice, cool place.

Maybe some more toast.

We won't be eating chocolate because now that has turned to liquid.

I have to leave them in the fridge for a few hours.

They are now cooling off in the fridge.

So I will see you in a few minutes.

I'll let you wrap up, finish the show and I'll go put the kettle on

and think of I might have some yoghurt with prunes.

Okay, how interesting.

It's lovely to be here on your birthday

with all of you lovely people and look forward to seeing you again.

I will probably be here on Sunday yes, the day after tomorrow,

which isn't far away. No.

So it's just the day after tomorrow we're going to be here again doing this all over again.

And apparently on Sunday it's going to be even

hotter on Sunday. Bye.

Thank you, Mr. Steve. There goes Mr. Steve.

And we were able to share my birthday not only with Mr.

Steve, but also with you as well.

He's gone.

Steve is now walking out of the room.

He's crawling along the floor.

I think he is absolutely exhausted.

I think so.

It is almost time to say goodbye.

We've been here.

I can't believe we've been here for 2 hours today.

That's incredible.

We've talked about lot of things.

We've talked about birthdays.

We've talked about the heatwave.

We've talked about the shortage of water.

We've talked about Klingons

of various types.

We've talked about birthday cakes.

We've talked about celebrations, birthdays, celebrations.

We've looked at my gifts, the presents that were given to me by Mr.

Steve and also his mother.

And we've had a nice time.

I hope you have had a nice time as well.

Thank you very much for your lovely donations.

We will talk about that again on Sunday.

And I will make a little list of all those who have made donations.

Thank you very much for your company today.

I hope you've enjoyed this.

I hope you've enjoyed everything that has happened.

I will be back with you on Sunday.

We are going out tonight for a little meal to celebrate my birthday

and I will see you again on

as I said on Sunday from 2 p.m.

UK time is when I'm back with you

and all I have to say now.

All that remains for me to say is take care.

Keep that smile on your face as you move amongst the human race.

And I will see you very soon.

And of course, until the next time we meet here

I am another year older,

but I will stay still, stay happy.

I will keep that smile upon my face.

You know what's coming next?

Yes, you do.

Thank you for joining me today.

And of course,

ta ta for now.
