absolutely freezing today it is so cold what is happened to summer summer seems

to have vanished all of a sudden so I'm not sure what is going on but it's

absolutely freezing cold today and just to prove it I am all wrapped up here in

my warm clothing I don't know what's happened it's gone so cold here in the

UK it is absolutely freezing cold at the moment here in the UK especially in my

studio and earlier I asked mr. Steve I said mr. Steve please can we put the

heating on because I'm is so cold and mr. Steve said no it's too early it's

too early in the year it's not winter yet so no you can't have the heating on

it is a waste of oil so I have to now sit here in the studio freezing cold in

my warm clothing because it's so cold hi everybody and welcome how are you today

really hope so so it is Sunday here in the UK and I think it might be Sunday

where you are as well how is how is things going how are they going are they

going okay I really hope so my mouth is actually freezing here my lips are

turning to ice it's so cold in the studio I don't know why it's so cold

today can i first say a big sorry can I apologize to all

of the walkers who were going down Wenlock edge behind my house today they

were all walking down together and I was in my bathroom now my bathroom faces

onto the back of Wenlock edge and I was in the bathroom this morning completely

naked getting ready for today's live English lesson I was in there and the

walkers were coming down the hill and they can see right into my bathroom

because they are very high up so can I first apologize to the 27 walkers and

their guide who who I did surprise this morning because I was completely naked

in my bathroom and I think they saw me I was doing my exercises over the bathtub

I like to do some squat thrusts in the morning do you know squat thrusts you

have to get down on your hands and your knees and then you move your legs

backwards and forwards so there I was in my bathroom this morning doing my

exercises over the bathtub and I think the walkers may have seen me naked so I

I must apologize first of all to the walkers who may have been slightly

surprised by seeing me naked in the bathroom oh dear me

so here we go it is Sunday I am YouTube's best-kept secret it's true the

algorithms on YouTube make sure that you don't see me ever thanks YouTube thank

you so much for that a few people have written to me thank

you very much I love hearing from you by the way we have some lovely emails

including Anna Anna who has written to me dear mr. Duncan I love your live

streams so much your friend Steve is a gem of your charming

productions good luck to you both from Anna thank you very much Anna for your

lovely email also a big hello to Fernando is well hello Fernando thank

you very much for joining me today your method of teaching is incredible

sometimes I find myself reacting making a comment out loud in my everyday life

with an English phrase automatically as if I learnt it during my childhood I do

appreciate you very very very much that is a lot of varies regards dear teacher

from Fernando thank you very much for your lovely message and finally we have

another message here I think this is from Olga

Thank You Olga for your email I like to share with you some discovery concerning

your wonderful lessons I was always wondering why your lessons where you

only speak they motivate me to speak English well and recently I found the

information that when we write we tell the text exactly in our mouth I'm not

sure what you mean by that but I get the idea

yes so it is the relationship or the relation between what you hear or what

you write and also what you speak so yes I think you're right there I like the

way how I like the way in which the live lessons are evolving thank you very much

your lessons are not only about English language they are also about two culture

habits trends and beauty ooh they are never boring well I must admit

I'm very pleased to hear that of course I do get some complaints as well

sometimes people write to me and they complain one complaint that I received a

few days ago was where is all the Inge English I don't know what you mean by

that someone actually wrote to me and asked

why I never teach English in my live streams I'm teaching English now as I

speak to you as I'm talking at this very moment in time I am actually teaching

you English so you are learning English all the time during my live streams so

you never stop really and yes I am here for two hours two hours what am I going

to do I have no idea I have to fill a whole two hours of stream time so here I

am streaming live how is your day today I hope it's going okay it would appear

to be raining everywhere in the world at the moment in the world everywhere is

seeing rainfall including here so this is my rain cam as you can see out of the

window we've had a lot of rain today and also yesterday as well it was so wet a

very wet day here in the UK so sadly unfortunately I am sorry to say that we

will not be going outside but don't worry because we will have some flash

words and also a flash phrase from mr. Steve yes mr. Steve will be here today

lots of things today lots of subjects lots of little subjects to keep you

going on this Sunday afternoon and first of all we are going to talk about the

worst job you have ever done what was or what is the most unpleasant and an

rewarding job that you ever done now a little bit later on I

will reveal one of the jobs that I did many years ago when I was very young

when I was between jobs in my very young days I did some terrible jobs I had to

work in some awful places so a little bit later on we'll be talking about that

but what was the worst job you have ever done a job maybe you had to work

somewhere which was very unpleasant and maybe the job was very unrewarding and

another question today this is our big topic today we'll be talking a lot about

this today in daily life what things really annoy you what gets on your

nerves so if something gets on your nerves we can say that it is annoying so

in your daily life what things really annoy you come on don't hold back please

tell me what's your pet peeves and daily gripes are so a pet peeve is something

that really annoys you maybe it is top of the list of your annoying things the

things that annoy you every day and a little bit later on I will be live I

will be here with mr. Steve as well live on YouTube and we will be talking about

the things that annoy us during our daily lives so all of that to come a

little bit later on some other news that I have to give you some very important

news here in fact I have found out that I will be getting a new neighbor

so next door to me the the person living next door is now officially moving away

in around about two weeks time he will be moving

Francisco yes mr. Duncan it is a very cold day

today I agree the weather is awful it's awful

outside look look at that look at the rain it's so wet it was very wet

yesterday and it's very wet and damp today as well I don't like the cold

weather if there are two things that I really hate about the weather

it's when it's cold and wet at the same time I hate it so much I don't like it

when it's cold and wet at the same time it really annoys me so the question

today in daily life what things really annoy you so today I want you to get it

off your chest if there is something you want to tell me something that really

annoys you every single day come on now is the chance to get it off

your chest if you get something off your chest

it means you you tell someone about it maybe it's something that you really

want to share with someone else but maybe you are too afraid to do it so you

get it off your chest so there it is get it off your chest

mr. Steve is here today he will also be telling us five things that annoy him

every day and also I will be sharing five things as well at three o'clock

talking of mr. Steve here he comes now with today's first flash word tenacious

tenacious is an English adjective the word tenacious is an English adjective

that describes something with a tendency to hold tight with a firm grip a person

who does not give up and shows determination can be described as

tenacious for example he has a tenacious character I admire your tenacious

attitude the noun form of tenacious is tenacity a thing that is hard to

disprove can be described as tenacious a tenacious person can be described as

determined firm insistent resolute stubborn unwavering tenacious tenacious

oh I like that word that's a very interesting word mr. Steve thank you for

that first flash word today so coming up today we have lots of new words lots of

expressions to share with you so I hope you will stay with me I'm actually

starting to get warm now it's getting warm in here so I think it's because of

my studio lights it's now starting to get very

warm in here so now I have removed my coat so that that feels a little bit

more comfortable now mr. Duncan Simona is here hi Simona thank you for joining

me hi mr. Duncan and hello to everyone here

in this here in the south of Romania it is very hot about 32 degrees well all I

can say Simona is you are very very lucky because here it is cold and wet

lots of places at the moment especially over the United States suffering

terrible terrible weather lots of hurricanes we also had an earthquake a

couple of days ago in Mexico so can I first say hello to all my friends in

Mexico watching thank you very much my thoughts are with you and also a big

hello to my friends watching in the United States as well my thoughts are

with you to me now oh hello Mina yes I am very happy today

and I wish you are the same of course I'm happy every day I'm always happy I

will be very happy at 3 o'clock because mr. Steve will be here to share the

things that really annoy him but in daily life what things really annoy you

please let me know on the live chat would you like to see some nice things

ok then here is something very interesting I saw a couple of days ago

during my many walks so this was a walk I took the other day and this is what I

saw can you tell what they are they are of course mushrooms growing around the

area in which I live can you see them mushrooms

so mushrooms or some people call it fungi fungi some people say that mr.

Duncan is a very fun guy so there we go you can see some wild

mushrooms now one of my neighbors the other day said Mr Duncan you should

really go and pick some mushrooms you should eat them now I'm not sure if

that's a good idea because of course some mushrooms are deadly they are

poisonous if you eat them they can actually kill you so there they are the

mushrooms that I came across the other day I spotted them during my little walk

something else a little unusual now to show you here is something very strange

can you see that can you see what it is it is a very unusual tree something very

strange but what type of tree is it this particular tree is called a monkey

puzzle tree it's very unusual very strange looking and this particular tree

is is huge it's about 200 feet tall and did you know that once a monkey puzzle

tree becomes a certain size you will not allow it to cut it down it is actually

illegal to cut a monkey puzzle tree down it's true I'm not joking so there it was

something I saw on my many walks I hope you enjoyed that I love sharing things

with you it's good to share isn't it would you like to have a look at one of

my ask mr. duncan lessons now ask mr. duncan was a series of lessons that i

made i started making them in 2010 and i stopped making them around about two

years ago so here we go this is ask mr. duncan 25 and this has lots of great

information about the English language

dear mr. Duncan mayor birth they bring to you as

much happiness as you give to everyone who knows you and listen your videos

thank you very much are you happy I hope so

dad Jana from Romania hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you

today are you ok I hope so are you happy I hope so here we all are

went again for another delve into the virtual email sack of questions queries

and comments concerning the English language and my teaching work on that

fiber-optic thingy we call the internet imagine what would

happen if the internet suddenly disappeared

what would we all do I think I would cry for a whole week and then comfort myself

by eating a big double chocolate muffin but now I'm just waffling so let's cut

straight to the chase with our first question for today what are the

differences between less and lesser this question comes from Eugene who lives in

South Korea the word les is used to show that the amount level or quantity of

something is not as much as something else it can show a desire for a certain

quantity compared with before could I have less sugar in my tea today a higher

amount is more a lower amount is less we say more or less to show that something

is about right is this an accurate description more or less lesser is used

when we are making a direct comparison between two things we compare them we

highlight the lesser of the two so lesser refers to the

our item or the smaller thing the effect of one thing may not be as bad as the

other the lesser of the two is much safer the phrase the lesser of the two

evils means that one thing is not as bad as the other even though both the scene

is wrong the opposite of lesser is greater the opposite of less is more a

nice email I have received a nice email from Irina in Siberia who would like me

to say a big hello to her students at the school of tomorrow in the town of

Santa Gork the school of tomorrow I think that is a wonderful name for a

school and I would like to wish all of the students there a great new school

term and good luck with your English Studies what does the phrase swear by

mean does it mean that you will say something bad this question was sent in

by Rachel who lives on the beautiful island of Sardinia the phrase swear by

means that you are trusting something for its effect or its ability if you

always use that particular thing you swear by it it is a kind of

recommendation I always use this particular shampoo I swear by it

swear by is not the same as swear on swear on relates to giving a promise or

oath I swear on my mother's life that it is true

having said that we can say swear by when giving an oath in a law court for

example here in England we are made to swear on a sacred book such as the Bible

or Quran before giving evidence during a trial we will say I swear by Almighty

God it serves as both a symbolic gesture and a legally binding oath to show that

you are going to be honest I will tell the truth the whole truth and nothing

but the truth

why do you teach English this question comes from Alexandra's eonni who lives

in Brazil and is himself an English teacher first of all it is worth

mentioning that I have always been fascinated by communication of all types

be it among humans or other forms of Wildlife the word spoken verbally and

the unspoken language we all use with our bodies really do fascinate me as a

child I loved writing stories they served as an escape from my otherwise

dull childhood fantasy and imagination were Meyer outlets and knowledge became

my constant pursuit what seemed strange then has enabled me to pass on all the

things I have learned knowledge is there to be shared and what better way is

there of doing this then through teaching for me it has always been a

natural transition the fondest memories of my childhood come from those who

offered words of encouragement and support through my English teacher and

my art teacher I was able to hold on to something which has stayed with me to

this very day the feeling of self-worth and purpose so why do I teach English

why do I teach it all over the years I have come to fully realize the true

value of education it is not only there to instruct it also allows those you

teach to realize their own potential it encourages them to always aim high and

never give up a good teacher will always encourage this it's that time again here

it is once again the feature to end all features the bit to end all bits the

part to end all parts the segment to end oh well you get the idea

it's clean

this week's word is short and sweet the word is Li this is a noun which

expresses delight joy and happiness to be lively and joyous in American English

the word is used in glee club which means a group of people who get together

to sing a choral group a group of performers who sing short songs together

the word Glee has now become popular thanks to the US TV show of the same

name some more nice emails I have received a nice email from Vicky in

Mexico who describes my video lessons as awesome and asks if I will be making

some more idiom and slang lessons yes Vicky I'm planning to produce some more

lessons featuring both idioms and slang terms later this year so keep a lookout

for them a big thank you also to Ravine de in India who wrote to tell me how

helpful my lessons have been especially from the point of view of providing

something new each time to help build those all-important communication skills

I'm glad to hear that my lessons have proved so beneficial to you both another

fascinating idiom this is red tape it is a very useful material it also happens

to be in English idiom red tape refers to rules and regulations or procedures

connected with them this phrase is often used in a negative way to express an

over complicated procedure governments often use red tape to slow down the

speed of a decision or change in law when we want to speed up the procedure

then we will try and cut through all the red tape its origin

comes from the fact that most official British government documents were

usually tied with red tape why won't you read my email out I've sent it many

times recently I have received some angry emails from students who feel

annoyed that I have not read their emails out first of all I can promise

that I read every email which is sent to me sadly I cannot reply in person due to

the amount of questions I receive each week I choose three or four questions to

answer and I try to give everyone a chance to be mentioned this has always

been my aim so if your email question is not answered this week there is still a

chance that it could be read out at a later date another thing to mention is

that if you repeatedly send the same question in to me from the same address

then your emails will most likely be sent to the junk mailbox as spam which

means I will never get to see any of them at all please send your questions

and comments just once if you have a question mark it as English question if

you just want a special hello please mark the message as special hello I love

hearing from you all as it makes my work so much more of a joy to do

before I finished today for my summer vacation I would like to say a special

hello to Vladimir in Russia who asks if there are any other ways to say happy

birthday in English well we can say many happy returns or many happy returns of

the day we can simply say best wishes for your birthday all all the best on

your birthday we can say live long and prosper

oh no not that one that's from Star Trek silly me also a big hello to ignite

Kalia in Croatia and Rizwan in India a big hello also to some of my new

Facebook buddies including remi martan tina alfredo chan to mo leonardo fahadh

and federico a big hello to all of you that is all from me for the next two

weeks I'm taking a short break but do not fear because I will be back again

with another ask mr. duncan and a new full-length lesson plus the return of

the red curtains you know I have really missed those drapes in American English

drapes means curtains this is mr. duncan in england saying

thank you for asking me and of course to tar for now

doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo of course I'm not going away for two weeks there

it was that was one of my classic ask mr. duncan lessons did you enjoy that I

really really hope so I'm not going away don't worry I am with you right now and

I will stay with you forever and ever until the end of time I promise

thanks for joining me today we have some great questions to ask including in

daily life what things really annoy you thank you very much for your answers in

a moment we will be having a look at today's mystery idioms yes the mystery

idioms are here don't worry I haven't forgotten about them they will be here

and we have we have two good ones today two really good ones

Tomic is watching hello to make hello mr. Duncan how are you that is too bad

that the weather has changed and you are cold well now I feel quite warm so now I

have warmed up I feel much better thank you very much if there is any

consolation I actually caught a cold this week so mr. Duncan hang in there I

will thank you very much Tomic and I hope you feel better very soon asthma is

here hello teacher this is the first time that I've been here I'm very happy

to join your live stream a big hello to you from Kuwait hello Kuwait and thanks

for joining me asthma asthma algate I hope I pronounced

your name right here in the Balkans it is also know it is very hot now in the

Balkans as nothing worse than getting hot around the Balkans Alberto has an

answer to the question I asked earlier what was the worst job you have

ever done the most unpleasant and unrewarding job so thank you very much

Alberto says the worst job I've ever had was working as a clerk in a bank it was

so boring that's that's actually what Alberto is put he's put boring so I get

the feeling that your job the job you used to do in the bank as a clerk was

very boring I think so maybe perhaps perhaps some people like being a clerk

maybe it's their their their lifelong dream to sit behind a counter giving

money out to people who knows Robert Arjen is here hello Robert thank

you very much for joining you are new you are very welcome Robert Robert Arjun

who is watching in India let's see if we can find some answers to the question I

asked Oh Luciano asks mr. Duncan what are the

cans on your table the cans right here can you see them if we have time I will

take a close look at these cans a little bit later on if we have time because we

have a lot of things to get through today I'm looking for some answers to

today's questions what was the worst job you've ever done and what annoys you in

your daily life things that get on your nerves your pet peeves and daily gripes

so today I am encouraging you to get it off your chest so if there's something

you want to complain about something in your daily life that really annoys you

then you will have a chance to let me know

janet has answered that question Janet Quintero says annoying things I

will tell you I will tell you right now what annoys me come on Janet tell me

tell me please when people make a noise while they are

eating oh I can't stand that when people eat

and when they are eating they make a terrible noise a sort of slurping

chomping noise that's horrible so disgusting I know and another thing that

I hate is when people eat with their mouths open so they eat but you can

still see the food in their mouths so whilst they are eating their mouth is

opening and you can see everything in their mouth you can see all of the food

being chewed up oh that is pretty disgusting

I must admit Janet I do agree with you that is a very good one Peter is here

watching in Brazil thank you very much hello teacher from Viet of Wong watching

in Vietnam hello Vietnam hello everyone watching in Vietnam I know I have lots

of viewers watching in Vietnam forward Omar says hello from Somaliland

hello forward thank you for joining me today it's nice to see you live mr.

Duncan says hassan abbas you are welcome once again let's see if we can find some

answers to today's questions all first of all marcelo asks what are the

differences between Pedaler and stall and a street hawker well they can be

used in the same way so someone's selling something normally

in the street or perhaps they go to your door so maybe they knock on your door

and they try to sell something to you directly we can describe them as being a

peddler peddler a stall is normally something that is set up so normally you

would see a store set up in maybe a town center or maybe in a market place so

there is a slight difference there street Hawker a street Hawker is a

person who sells things so they are similar but there are some differences

as well Thank You Marcelo for that an analytic analytic brain I love your name

dear mr. Duncan how are you doing today I love your style of show you teachers I

think you're an environmentalist I'm not sure if I am an environmentalist I do

sometimes take care certainly when it comes to animals I like to take care of

them I like to look after them especially the birds because birds are

very fascinating I always find nature very fascinating would you like to see

something now something from from nature here it is

this is something that I spotted this week I saw it on my window and I

couldn't resist filming it can you see what it is this is a particular insect

called a daddy longlegs daddy longlegs and this particular insect is very

unusual in the fact that its legs are very long it can also be called a crane

fly so this particular insect has more than one name it can be called a daddy

longlegs also it can be called a crane fly and if I'm not mistaken I think

in the United States this is also called a harvest manner I think so I might be

wrong there so there it is a very unusual insect look at that I was very

lucky because I could get my camera very close to the insect so there it is daddy

longlegs do you get daddy longlegs in your country do you have them there or

perhaps in your country you have another very unusual insect perhaps okay here we

go it is now one sorry not one two 248 it

is just coming up to ten to three we have mr. Steve at three o'clock and

today he is going to talk about five things that annoy him every day and also

I will tell you five things that annoy me every day things that annoy you so

here we go the mystery idioms here come the mystery idioms for today

lots of people love the mystery idioms mr. Duncan we love the mystery idioms

see just to prove it today's first mystery idiom here it is all you have to

do is tell me what the idiom is what is it what isn't it what is the idiom what

is Thea diem just say what you see and here is the second mystery idiom the

second one I can't tell you how long it took me to make that picture I actually

created that picture myself it took me a very long time I must admit my photoshop

skills are improving don't you think don't you think I'm getting very good at

Photoshop and there it is the first one so today's mystery idioms there is the

first one and once again I will show you the second one because I never

so kind there is the second mystery idiom once

again but what are they what are the mystery idioms if you think you know let

me know and I might read your name out

Robert is here Thank You Robert once again for saying

hello Simona has a complaint to make about a job done in the past I used to

work at McDonald's for two months and I did this in 2000 and it was awful and I

didn't eat there from that point so from that time to this date now to this very

moment in time you have never eaten at McDonald's

so working there was so bad that you never ate there again

Wow of course here in the UK there there are some strikes taking place at the

moment at McDonald's so some people are actually going on strike but yes fast

food restaurants normally people work in fast-food restaurants during maybe

they're their year from studying so if they take a year out from their studying

sometimes they will do a part-time job maybe they were working a sharp or

perhaps they will work in a fast-food restaurant like McDonald's or KFC or

Burger King or well you know the rest sujeet is here hello sir from Indonesia

hello to Indonesia I hope you are having a good day it's very wet here at the

moment this is the view at the moment from my window it is a very dull and wet

day I don't like it I die I really don't I don't like it when it rains

and when it's cold at the same time I really don't like it I don't like it one

bit oh another terrible job here we go

Nikolai has a really awful job that he used to do my worst job was working as a

night guard in a warehouse and also a shop so you can say a night guard but

also you can say security guard or you can say night watchman so a night

watchman a night watchman is someone who works during the night and they they

keep an eye on the building they make sure that no one breaks in or trespasses

I've got to talk very clearly and nicely so that everyone can understand

and so here I am hello mr. Duncan I have no idea what you

just said

hopefully the Otto mr. Steve has a complaint I had a

complaint last week someone complained because they they complained that there

wasn't enough English in my English lessons now can I just say once again

that everything in my English lessons is English all of this is English okay so I

know so there's no confusion we're not talking German or French or Italian or

Italian although having said that French is a very romantic language and Italian

is also very romantic me aha yes if hange accent tis a very sexy law

you know for a moment that sounded like Chinese Oh Chinese North Korea oh I saw

your I saw your opening by the way today I hope I don't start World War 3

yes there was a missile test yesterday I hope he's not planning to do one over

Shropshire after watching your little opening there wouldn't it be ironic

wouldn't it be ironic if I started World War 3 because of my youtube stream that

would be that would be tragic because we wouldn't be able to see any more of you

imagine the stories the next day in the newspaper we'd all be speaking North

Korean probably it's the North Korean language or is it the same in South I

think you will find North Korean is Korean Korean so they got the same

language north and south I forgot I would I would definitely stop what

you're saying right now just interested just interested by the way I've noticed

something on the North Korean TV opening let me let me just show this to the

audience here is the opening of the North Korean TV news now there is

something you will notice very strange here as it zooms in you will notice that

South Korea is missing on their map so there

is the map that they use but can you see North Korea is there but South Korea

isn't there it's not even there it's as if they've they've cut it off and pushed

it into the ocean let's say that's something I noticed a couple of days ago

is it interesting is it interesting topical topical very topical very

topical so mr. Steve we have a few things to

talk about today we have meme I've been asking people in daily life what things

really annoy you and also the worst job that you've ever done so let's start

with the first question what is the the worst job or what was what was the worst

job that you've ever done mr. Steve well I think that would have to be see when I

first in my early twenties not that long ago I my first job was working in a

hospital laboratory doing blood tests and things who have you go into hospital

or if you go to your doctor sometimes they take blood out of your arm that

sent off for a blood test and it goes to a hospital and I used to do those blood

tests along with it a lot of others others but we didn't just test blood Oh

No we tested lots of fluids and solids mr. steel human body mr. Steve mr. Steve

mr. Steve I know what the answer to that is is is it poop it's poop is it poop

did you used to have now let me get this right so you had to had to handle other

people's poop they would come into the hospital we would have three or five day

collections of poop if that's the word you want I can think of other words but

we'll use that that's quite a clean word and we used to have to perform various

tests on them and if you were new into the lab they would give you this to test

your mettle so this was cut sort of and in this initiation don't get

was so if you are new in the laboratory they would give you all of the poop to

test they give you all the poop to test and you had to go into a special corner

nor a special room I bet I did I hadn't and you used to have to well that's not

go into details in case somebody's eating but it was the disgusting test to

perform I hope you wore rubber gloves I wore

rubber gloves and lots of other things we used to have to mix it with solvents

and an extract oh it was horrible but there was an extractor fan in this but

this room was especially just for these tests on poop and there was an extractor

fan in there but the extractor fan could be set on suck or blow extract and I'd

set it the wrong way so I'd set it to suck in air instead of extract the air

and all the smell went across the entire laboratory so Prevert was being sucked

in so so the poop smell was going everywhere it was going everywhere

instead of the poop smell going out so I didn't know that yet that's the worst

job I've ever had to do well I thought I could beat you there but I don't think I

can beat with handling other people's poop really nobody's ever beaten me on

that one no I think you win already I've got nothing I was going to although

although that my worst job can I tell you about my worst job go on

can I probably do the worst job I've ever done was working as a cleaner this

is true I used to clean the floors in the branch the local branch of marks in

spencer's in stafford the place i used to live in and this was during one of my

my rest periods and i wanted to make a little bit of money so i took a

part-time job that it meant i had to clean the floors and also sometimes i

had to clean the toilets in the supermarket now these were the

toilets and also the toilets that the general public would use now this very

very disgusting sometimes people would leave quite a Miss for me to clean up I

can imagine so so actually almost that's almost similar

to your job it's almost similar to the thing you were doing in the past as well

so so you were handling other people's poop and and when I was cleaning out the

toilets I was I was almost handling other people's poop but not quite I were

thinking if you've got to poop in a toilet in a supermarket or in a doctor

surgery you've obviously got a bit of a problem there because you can't hold it

in - to get home so what yeah you've obviously oh yeah you're going around

the shops uni weekly shopping oh I'm just going to go for a quick poop no

does that but for those who have just joined us you are now in tune with poop

our you've probably got this is poop our lounge version surely I mean I couldn't

I just have to wait till I got home so your worst job was working in the

laboratory yessing testing people's blurred and and also poop and I guess we

we as well yes had to do that as well who the wee wee and I used to work as a

cleaner many many years ago in my teen years cleaning out a toilet and cleaning

the toilets cleaning the floors horrible job horrible horrible job now let's get

on to another subject that we are going to talk about things that really annoy

you in daily life what things mr. Steve what things really relieving you off the

list are we I'm not going to say that mr. Duncan annoys me I don't know what

you mean by that are you saying that I'm annoying that's a given

so we'll look we won't even bother putting that on the list are you saying

I'm annoying

but yeah Bob we'll just assume that that is the case and we'll go on to what have

you ah have you asked people what what really annoys them I have I've had a few

one of one of the the good ones that I've had so far was people who eat with

their mouth full though they have their mouth probably they open their mouths so

you can see what's inside and also they eat very noisily so they make a they

make a horrible noise they're chomping and chewing and the noise is terrible

and also sometimes they they open their mouths so you can see the food inside

their mouth this gusting hello CERN has asked mr.

Steve mr. Steve you have a direct question here did your clothes smell

like poo when you went home we wore a lab coat oh okay but it wasn't just the

poop it was the fact we had to mix it with solvents like alcohol and things

like that and the smell of the solvents used to cling onto you closer when I got

home people would say you smell of chemicals because of all the chemicals

we used that's good that's good isn't it I would rather spell of chemicals than

than other people's ppippoppippo people I know what the chemicals were doing to

my system I'm still here after well without that was a long time ago but yes

it wasn't pleasant I wouldn't like to do it now no I can I can understand why

bandha bandha says annoying who are you saying we're annoying are you saying

that mr. Steve and myself are annoying possibly surely not

so five annoying things things that annoy us in our everyday life so mr.

Steve I believe you have you have your first annoying thing to tell us so you

can go first I have my first Annoying Thing writer

I've got five things here we might have time for them or the first one that in

with me there in no particular order apart from the number one annoying thing

which just tell us what it is tell us what it is please the top one or should

I start pret right let's go with recycling recycling recycling hmm we

have to I don't know what other countries what your laws are and what

you have to do with your local council you've got your rubbish in your house

tin cans bottles newspapers what do you do with it we used to just shove it in a

one big bin the bin collectors would come the council would take it away and

they would take it to this magical place and they'd sort it all out for you

they'd separate the cans and the plastic bottles and the newspapers and the

cardboard but no not anymore we have to do it ourselves in the UK so it's

incredibly annoying look at this look at this complicated sheet sorry

complicated sheep telling me what I've got to do with all my various late

excited works let's have another look hold it right up in front of your face

right up there we go hold it in front of you can you see that that's an

improvement Hey put it back we're trying to read it mr. Steve well I was going to

explain it you see we can't see it because you're on the split screen oh

that's that's it that's better so let me just have a look how to sort your waste

for collection now this seems this seems very I think this is interesting look at

that so there are lots of ways that you could help the planet so so the planet

doesn't explode in a ball of flames you can sort out your waste for collection

and there is the complicated timetable what is that that's a timetable of which

week they're going to collect which particular bucket of waste that looks

like the flight plan of Heathrow Airport yes my point is I've got nothing against

recycling but I don't want to have to do it I pay the council tax to sort out

this sort of thing and I you know I probably probably takes me an hour a

week to put the plastic bottles into one thing the cardboard into another

and there's four bins four separate bins I've got here they used a fire you don't

they realize you are a very busy man mr. Steve yeah exactly I've got to prepare

for appearing on your show every week that takes me a lot of time and I could

spend that time that I'm recycling preparing to be on your show and I just

I just annoys me because you can't just shove everything in one bin and throw it

out okay then so recycling recycling recycling is something you find annoying

so I'm gonna give you one of mine now right wouldn't mine if I can find the

piece of paper so my one of my annoying things something that annoys me every

day because I'm on the internet a lot I use the internet all the time and the

thing that I really hate is clickbait clickbait

I hate clickbait so you know what it's like you want to look at the news you

want to read some news or look at some information on the Internet

so you go to a site that has been advertised with a small thumbnail and

you click on it but when you get to it you just find there are lots of

advertisements all over the place and so that is clickbait so normally clickbait

offers something very juicy all very interesting like see this actor see what

they look like now they look old and ugly and so you want to click on it

because you want to see what the actor who was very young when you liked them

and now they're very old and ugly you want to look at them you want to see

what they look like now so you click on it and its clickbait so when you click

on it all you get are lots of adverts and lots of useless things on your

screen so yes clickbait yes another annoying one that keeps coming up all

the time when I'm on the Internet is is you suddenly see this little advert that

pops up 10 foods you should never eat or something like that or 10 is something

you should never do and it's always bananas

was on there if you noticed and they would say don't eat banana it's always

10 things so 10 things you must not eat ever in your life or 10 things you are

doing wrong yes you are walking down the road wrong here are 10 reasons why the

way you walk is wrong and it's just clickbait it's rubbish ignore it

rubbish but it's so difficult nowadays even the news even new stories on the

internet have started to use clickbait as well so i don't like it so there is

mine that is what am i annoying things something that really annoys me every

day is clickbait clickbait so mr. Steve give us one of yours right car-related

4x4 drivers okay then so what what a fool by four drivers first of all what

is a 4x4 a 4x4 is a is a giant car jacked up by about a meter compared to

other vehicles but all-wheel drive weather mr. Steve rules just has just

put the brakes on there what does jacked up mean a jacked up means it's raised up

so their their cars that are that a higher than normal saloon cars and their

four-wheel-drive and their massive great big things and everyone's sitting you're

sitting higher in them yeah you sort of 20 30 years ago the only people that

that drove 4x4 were farmers so they could get into their fields let me get

this right because they're used for offroad they used for our throat

traditionally a 4x4 was used for off-road but now they're very popular as

everyday cars they're huge you're sitting above everybody else and people

that tend to drive them there may be some 4x4 driver's watching now so I've

got to be careful but they tend to drive very aggressively and they're really 4x4

cars the thugs of the road I think if you're

driving a 4x4 you're saying get out of my way or I'm gonna smash you up so what

you're saying is people that drive that type of car tend to be bullies

they're very forceful people that or maybe they are very arrogant or

egotistical and yes they just annoy me and they just don't know it and the

worse the weather is the faster they drive because they think that they're

somehow safe in these great big vehicles of course you did get hit by one because

they weigh twice as much as your car though you'll probably get demolished

which is of course a the main reason people buy them I think is because they

feel safer in them but unfortunately if they make a mistake and hit you then

you'll be wiped out because it's weighing twice as much as you so I don't

like I would ban them if I was a leader if I was a leader like Kim jong-un if

I've pronounced that correctly a dictator at which I'd love to be I would

the first thing I would do is ban four-by-fours I'm not joking I hate them

I would just ban them so mr. Steve is not a fan of 4x4 cars there there is one

you can see it on the screen there 4x4 cars they are big and the people that

drive them tend to be very arrogant and and they want to control the whole of

the road that is what mr. Steve that's what mr. Steve over over the air over

there thinks we don't need them we don't need them we don't need a big follower

they don't do anything they use up more fuel there's no more room in them

they're pointless cars for the road but there be then I they're like nuclear

weapons if somebody's got one you almost feel you've got to get one as well in

order to protect yourself well there is something I didn't think I'd hear today

4x4 cars are bad or as bad as nuclear weapon it's that your neighbors got a

suddenly got a nuclear weapon and you anything well I've got to get one of

those ever what to protect myself okay let's have a look at one of mine here is

what if my enough before mr. Steve starts foaming at the mouth getting hot

and getting away like a rabid dog right what's your what's your next annoying

thing here's something that really annoys me when you go to the supermarket

and the person is blocking the thing that you

want to buy so there is something that you see that you want to buy but you

can't get to it because someone else is standing in front of you and quite often

there they are on their mobile phone talking to their ter wife hello love

hello love love love they haven't got they haven't got the butter that you

want shall I get the other butter shall I get the other butter they haven't got

it they haven't got the butter that you normally have shall I get the other one

shall I shall I get the other one shall I get the other butter the other butter

they haven't got the one that you like sure shall I get the other one yeah the

other better I think we I think we get it yeah the other but no not that butter

no the one that you want they haven't got Oh what they're reading shall we get

the other one yeah and it goes on for ages and I'm standing there like a

complete pillock like a complete idiot waiting for this person to finish their

phone call so I can reach across and take the item that I want but the person

is standing there on the phone yeah no they haven't got that one no I just said

they haven't got that one no no they haven't got it or they're reading all

the ingredients on the back of something I want to I want to just I want to just

punch them know what you're saying angry I want to say hey get out the way I'm

trying to get my product I'm trying to get it I I'm in a hurry so please stop

your very long phone conversation it was a bit like you earlier mr. Steve talking

on the telephone right I'm calming down god I should do

some Tai Chi because when I was in China I did a lot of Tai Chi you see to calm

me down to to ease ease my stress so there we go supermarkets people in

supermarkets they are sometimes very annoying especially when they block the

aisles right so another one of yours please what annoys me

is cleaning my teeth clean E&T teeth that doesn't sound like something

annoying it's and it's just annoying it's it's it's a it doesn't take it much

time it just annoys me the last thing you do if we go to bed is clean your

teeth and I'm just sort of it just seems to go on forever it feels like an

eternity and then first thing in the morning you have to do it it's like it's

like perjury I just hate cleaning my teeth when you

think how much time you spend cleaning your teeth in your entire lifetime it

probably would mount up to days or weeks and I just annoys me having to do it

after dude of course otherwise I'd have bad breath yes and also later in life

all your teeth will fall out all your teeth would fall out it just annoys me

imagine that imagine if you had no teeth hello

hey buddy mr. Duncan here a mr. Steve Gore mr. Steve pretend you've got no

teeth mr. Duncan here and also mr. Steve there's nothing worse than losing all

your teeth so I think I disagree with you I think you're wrong there I think

cleaning your teeth is very important even though it takes a very long time

and you have to do it at least twice a day so it does take up a lot of your day

because you have to clean your teeth carefully but I think I think cleaning

your teeth is something very useful and important so I must admit I do it

disagree I disagree with you there mr. Steve I just find it annoying mmm okay

here's another one now this is one of mine okay this is a general one actually

this is a very general one politeness politeness or should I say the lack o of

politeness so people who are rude during the day for example when you when

you open a door for someone so maybe you are coming out of the shops or going in

the shops and someone is coming towards you on the other side and you open the

door for them you open it or them I've opened the door for you but

they don't say thank you they say nothing they just walk through and say

nothing so I think lack of politeness in in daily society really does annoy me it

gets on my nerves I hope you are enjoying this mr. Steve and myself we

are both getting it off our chests so if you get it off your chest

it means you express something that you've always wanted to say something

that you've kept inside you get it off your chest so another one please mr.

Steve well it's another car-related one and it's sort of related to lack of

politeness as well and it's most other car drivers other motorists are the most

other motorists well at least half of them because I thing when you're in a

car is that you can people I think feel as though they can get away with a lot

because you're not going to be able to catch them if you were face to face with

somebody or near somebody and you behaved in a way that many people behave

on the roads you would probably get a punch in the face but because you're in

a car and you cut somebody up or you or your right two inches from their bumper

or you make some ridiculous risky maneuver or you or you going 30 miles an

hour and a 60 mile an hour limit because there's a great big metal box between

you and them and you can speed off they think they can get away with behaving in

a way that you would never be able to behave if you are actually with that

person face to face so but I think this is a common problem I don't want to

interrupt you there but I think this is a common problem when people step into

the car even if they are in everyday life a lovely person something strange

happens when you get into the car when you get behind the wheel of a car you

you become you become a psychopath you become completely

crazy and you you your poll personality changes most people when they get behind

the wheel I've got a different personality and I think I think people

drink too much coffee and then get behind the wheel of the car and they've

become very impatient and selfish and they don't respect other car drivers and

that's got a lot worse over the last while since I've been driving in the

last 30 years it's got a lot worse people have less respect for people on

the roads because and I don't really blame people in the way our lives are a

lot busier everyone's got to get everywhere a lot faster a lot quicker

even though really in reality if you go another if you overtake somebody you're

really not going to get to your destination that much quicker on the

average journey yes so when you overtake the person behind you drives past you

they overtake you and sometimes they do it in in very dangerous situations so

maybe a very narrow road someone will take over you they will go past you and

the road is very narrow or maybe there is a bend a half so people do sometimes

drive it very crazily in a very crazy manner so what about you do you ever get

angry when you're behind the wheel of the car steal I do I'm guilty of that as

well but you your rational brain tells you there's no point I'm going sound

going 50 miles an hour and the speed limit is 60 miles an hour then I want to

go 60 if the road is safe to do so so if someone's going 50 that you'd just

always want to get by even though rationally my brain is telling me I've

got 20 miles to go going past that person is probably only going to save

about 10 seconds or 20 seconds off my journey that's the reality of it but

your emotions take over and it's very difficult to resist

trying to go I find it difficult to resist obviously a lot of other people

do as well because they'll overtake and you often

catch them up don't you at the next set of traffic lights and you feel very smug

because they've gone past you but you've caught them up anyway so they've saved

no time at all yeah let's just face it there are some idiots on the road there

are some idiots who should not be behind the wheel of a car I think it's very

fair to say I've actually got some so some replies here right attila says I am

very annoyed when my neighbour plays their music too loudly yes that is very

annoying social disturbances such as loud music and maybe if someone is doing

some DIY in their house so they are banging they are hammering they are

using noisy equipment or maybe they are playing music or maybe they're there

their dog is barking all the time we will come to that in a moment so yes

thank you very much also another annoying thing it's all sorry can I

interrupt this boils down to lack of respect yes people think they can they

can get away with it they'll do it I don't mind if a neighbor's doing some

DIY but they would just come round I would go round and say look I'm gonna

live got a party this afternoon sorry if there's any disturbance or I'm having

something done to the house there's gonna be a bit of noise sorry about that

but if you tell somebody it diffuses the whole situation here's what I've got

once this is brilliant Steve I've got a great one here from Olga Olga says I am

annoyed when my son opens the drawers of the freezer and he takes something out

but he doesn't close the door afterwards now I think someone here right now also

does that you sometimes I do that so I must admit sometimes when I I go into

the freezer or even the refrigerator sometimes I go in there and take

something out but I forget to close the door or I

forget to push the drawer in the freezer especially in the deep freeze

so I normally leave the door open or the drawer open and so everything starts to

thaw everything starts to to go soft so yes and that annoys you doesn't it mr.

Steve yes I think that's that's my sort of lab training because if there's

something in there cuz a fridge when you open the fridge door even if it's only

for a short period of time it takes the fridge a long time to bring the

temperature back down so if you open a fridge for say five minutes and a lot of

people will open the fridge door and they'll make a cup of tea then they'll

get the milk out and they'll leave it open and they won't shut it till they've

made the drink or whatever they're gonna do and then they'll put it back then

they'll shut the door five minutes later meanwhile it's gonna take the fridge

probably two hours to get the temperature back down again I'm a bit

worried now Steve Steve see because you've said it's because you've said

that refrigerators remind you of when you were working in the lab now I'm

getting worried now now can you just reassure me at this very moment this

that there is no poop in our refrigerator absolutely 100% sure 100%

sure I I'm going to check afterwards I'm going to have a look in the refrigerator

and if I find any poop in that refrigerator there will be trouble there

is a dead Fox in there but it's apart from that okay no there's no poop in

there whatsoever just lots of fruit and vegetables mate maybe ad-libbing is

something you should avoid for what I'm not sure about a dead Fox sorry please

come back everyone there isn't really a dead Fox in the refrigerator it was a

joke okay I think I think the view is new I was joking oh that was close oh we

really we really jumped the shark then okay here's one of mine then the last

one that I'm having right this is something I think this might annoy

people as well this is something that really gets on my nerves a thing or

should I say things dogs dogs I don't know why it would appear especially here

in the UK and maybe in England and the UK people have started treating dogs is

if they are human beings can I just say now just for the record dogs are not

human beings they are rather stupid animals on four legs I know that's going

to annoy a lot of people please don't tune away just just hear me

out but dogs are not humans so when you talk to them like they are

human beings they can't hear they can't understand what you're saying all they

hear is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah so think they can't understand

you so dogs are not human beings so can we please stop treating dogs as if they

are human as if they have human emotions they don't I love animals

but I don't go outside and I don't I don't go up to the Robin and ask him

about the weather I don't talk to him about the latest political situation in

in North Korea I don't talk to the Robins like that but some people talk to

their pets as if they are that they are human beings they're not okay and also

mmm dog owners please when your dog does a poop what is it about this program we

always seem to end up talking about poop when your dog does a poop could you

please clear it up afterwards so I don't have to step into it so they're dogs

dogs can be very annoying and also don't forget when dogs well what was it mark

dark barking dogs I can't stand barking dogs so I hope the new neighbor that we

are having soon we are having a new neighbor moving moving in next door in

about two weeks time I hope they don't have a barking dog I really

to a good start if they did so do you have another one mr. Steve I do a light

one the last one last one annoying things that's what we're asking today we

are asking in daily life what things really annoy you think then my absolute

number one and thing that annoys me is passwords passwords eh that's for

passwords or as you pronounce it passwords either is correct and yes ok

ok if you're a bit pushy you would say passwords if you're a bit common you

would say password common like me you mean either is acceptable but no

passwords let's face it our lives have been taken over by passwords my computer

my phone my tablet everything needs a password and it's so so annoying because

how many and not only that where I am at work every individual app on the

computer also has its own password so I haven't just got one password to get in

the computer well haven't got one anyway I've got a bit Locker so that's what

I've got to put in before even Windows has opened up then I've got to put a

username and a password in that's got to change every three months and then every

little app that I open also has its own separate password some of which don't

have to change every three months some of which I do so you end up

I must have probably like a lot of people out there 20 or 30 passwords for

various different things various different devices and why have we got

all these passwords I don't know because of criminals oh okay that's why yes

there are a lot of bad people around in welcome mr. Steve you are really

annoying me at the moment because you're going off the screen computer step

that's it that's you're slowly going away it's like it's like you're slowly

setting like the Sun because I'm getting passionate and

about talking about the annoyance of password so password so for a moment I

thought you were going to tell us what your passwords were no I'm not going to

tell you what they are it doesn't matter any because I'm gonna change them

probably next week what what I love you you know when you first join a website

or you go to a website and they ask you to create a password they always tell

you not to use easy words that you're a complete idiot so don't use one two

three four or ABCD okay thank you very much I was about to do that you see

because whenever I create a password I always use one two three four

it won't let you do that anymore okay it won't let you do that anymore you've got

to have probably now a minimum of eight this is the thing that's crept in

recently you've got to have at least eight characters some of them are gonna

be numbers some of them gotta be symbols and some of them are got to be capitals

so you can't easily remember it so you end up having to write them all down

which isn't very secure as it and it's all because of criminal that's the

ludicrous thing that's the lunacy of it they say you must have lots of pest

words but you you mustn't write them down what a stupid here how am I

supposed to remember 20 or 30 passwords how am I supposed to keep them all in my

head so of course everybody writes them down somewhere you'd be crazy not to

because there is no way that you can you can remember all of those passwords and

the latest thing now is that you put all your passwords in but then as an added

security level they're gonna they send you a a number on your mobile phone to

verify that it's you so you've put all your passwords in say your bank that's

the latest thing my bank now wants me not only to put in the passwords that

the username the password and then three selected letters from my other special

word and that I've got to say what's my favorite color or where was I born so

that's for security levels they also now what my mobile phone number to send me a

code on there which I've then got to put in as well it's crazy you chew braces

well YouTube does this sometimes they where if you log in and then you

accidentally spell a password wrong you get you get a couple of the letters the

wrong way around and you do it three times then it locks you out you can't go

it so then you have to do this stupid thing where you have to then have this

number sent to your phone or to another email address and then you have to send

that number then you have to or sometimes YouTube will phone you and

then you have to enter the number on your phone because you've you've missed

typed your password three times I it just right drives me crazy and the

reason why we do it why do we have to do this Steve because of criminals because

of scumbags that's right the reason why all of our lives have been made a misery

oh we have some we have some feedback here mm-hmm

someone getting a bit angry with me here normally thysen says most people have

passwords that relate to their crush names when you say crush do you mean

their lover someone they love or they are in love with okay then I suppose

that's reasonable as long as your your lover's name isn't one two three four

they won't let you do that now you've got to have a at least eight in most

most most devices now okay I'm getting into trouble now I'm being told off here

about dogs oh I'm not surprised Matthew Boone I'm in trouble now this is

it I am in the doghouse I'm in the doghouse it's not my most

favorite place to be for obvious reasons Matthew boom says some people are

depending on dogs such as Guide Dogs if they are blind okay I put my hands up

I agree with you entirely dogs are very useful in that respect they are they are

helping people to move around if they are they have sight disabilities if they

if they are blind or if they have vision disabilities I don't know what

the word is we use nowadays because they keep changing it every day see there's

another annoying thing they keep changing terms changing words for things

every day so yes I agree I Matthew I can't disagree there you are right I put

my hands up I say you are right about that and dogs do provide if you're

lonely particularly they do of course provide company but they also kill

babies let's face it at least once a month in this country somebody's dog

kills their baby have you noticed that it's very tragic but they are animals

after all and if you leave them roaming around with with babies they get jealous

and kill the baby ok I've just thought of another one I just thought of another

one when you walk along you are walking one day you're having a nice walk in the

countryside and then a dog comes towards you and it starts barking and snarling

at you and then the owner says it's so right he won't hurt you but you're

thinking no I think this dog might bite my leg off it's only a second because

it's barking at me it doesn't look very happy but the owner says it's all right

he's just being friendly now imagine if human beings did that imagine if I went

up to another person in the street and I went hey what would you do well I'd lock

you up probably yeah so there you go no no if you're on a lead that's what I do

you should be on a lead another thing yes there are so many annoying things

about dogs that I'm just remembering them all now when people let their dog

run free in a field where there are animals like cattle or sheep so they

just let their animal run around where where the wild animals are or where

maybe the farmers animals are so yeah there's another one right I've just

thought of another very annoying thing list but related to that people their

own cats okay people that own cats and also put up

bird feeders so they like to feed the birds they like the birds but they've

got a cat I know and the cat he's going to kill the bird I I think I think some

cat owners not all cat owners but people who own cats and and then they put the

bird feeder in their garden where the cat lives and cats love eating birds

well in fact they don't eat them they just torture them they torture them they

tortured them they slowly kill them that's that's why I get very annoyed

with cats as well because cats will slowly torture so they don't eat the

bird they torture it they play with it so the animal is suffering for a very

long time so why do people do that why do they have a cat and then they put a

bird feeder in the garden which will attract the birds and then the cat eats

the birds doesn't make sense to me does it make sense no anyway I think we will

leave it there mr. Steve forty-seven minutes we've beat the record from last

week that's a long time I've really enjoyed effort anybody else got any more

annoying things over you gonna leave that subject for today I think we'll

leave it for today right so thank you very much mr. Steve we have another just

another twelve minutes to go in the nine out of here Wow so I better let you wrap

up the show I better wrap it up or else YouTube will a coming into the studio

YouTube will come in and say ear ear mr. Duncan we want our bandwidth back give

taking this role of yellow tape um bye bye see you next week bye mr. Steve

in the head I think so so there we go mr. Steve has gone and I will be going

TIPA TIPA TIPA TIPA TIPA do did you miss last week's live English

for those who missed it here is last week's live English lesson in 25 seconds

wasn't that amazing did you interpret that today's mystery idioms I will give

it the answer very shortly we almost forgot about these didn't we in fact I

tell you what I'm going to do I'm going to do something I've never done before

something I've never done before I'm going to have those mystery idioms next

week so I'm not going to give you the answers today I'm going to give you the

answers next week the answers to the mystery idioms will be coming next week

because we're running out of time so there they are the mystery idioms once

again and I will give you the answers to those next week because we haven't

talked much about them so next week I will give you the answers to the mystery

idioms you will have to wait a whole week so maybe something that is annoying

to you is mr. mr. Duncan that's me by the way I'm talking about myself in the

third person just like Donald Trump does so next week

I will reveal the answers to today's mystery idioms you have to wait another

week yes of course I will be here next week you can catch me on YouTube every

Sunday from 2 p.m. UK time back to the live chat lots of people want to say

hello

Manuel says I agree with what mr. Steve says concerning the 4x4 cars I think

they are very arrogant that's a great word isn't it arrogant an arrogant

person a person who thinks they are superior to other people they are better

than everyone else they are very arrogant shiri blade says

the 4x4 car isn't the true problem but the problem is who is driving it oh yes

it's a little bit like the gun thing isn't it so some people say that guns

don't kill people people kill people so I suppose that the car is not really

doing the bad thing the car is just a big hunk of metal so the driver is the

person who behaves in an arrogant way Julie G says brushing teeth is very

boring I agree with what mr. Steve says oh I see a seal ah here's an interesting

point from a seal a seal says your teeth will fall out whether you wash them or

not I'm not sure about that I think if you keep your key if you keep your teeth

healthy until you are old I think I think your teeth can stay in your head

mr. Steve's mother I am not sure if mr. Steve's mum Minds me saying this but mr.

Steve's mother still has her teeth and she is now 86 87 and she still has all

of her own teeth so yes you can keep your teeth until you are very old but

you must take good care of them man our asks mr. Duncan what does clickbait mean

clickbait is something that you see on the internet maybe it is an

advertisement but it's pretend ding to be something useful like I don't

know some information about health or maybe politics or something to do with

the news but really it is just a way of getting you to look at advertisements so

clickbait is something that catches your attention on the Internet and you want

to click on it you can't resist because the thing the

topic looks very inviting it looks very interesting

10 reasons why Hollywood hates a certain actor or maybe 10 reasons why some

people get very fat or maybe look at this actress she used to be on TV in the

1970s but look at what she looks like now she's really old and you want to

click on it you want to click because it's very interesting you can't resist

so you click on it and then you find that you have to look at lots and lots

of commercials or adverts so that is what Pollak bait is click bait bait

means something that lures you it attracts you date when you go fishing

you normally use bait to attract the fish so there it is click bait I hope I

hope I explained that well I hope so

Manuel says one annoying thing of this day is people who walk and type on their

mobile phones yes people who walk along the pavement or sidewalk walk they are

playing with their phone they are staring at their phone and sometimes

they will walk into you they will actually bump into you because they are

not paying attention so sometimes people walk along the street and they they are

hypnotized by their phone they can't stop looking

at it even even whilst walking down the road

they are still looking at their phone yes I agree manual that is a very

annoying thing indeed well can you believe it

we have almost come to the end of today's livestream before I go we're

going to have a look at one more flash oh we're going to have a flash phrase

this time so this is a flash phrase from mr. Steve just before we go get your act

together get your act together is an English phrase the phrase get your act

together is an English phrase that means improve yourself concentrate harder

improve your attitude you might tell someone to get their act together if

they are not working hard enough or concentrating enough on their job we

often use get your act together as a warning for example this is your final

warning you either get your act together or we will have to fire you you need to

work harder so get your act together we can also urge someone to smarten up

their act you can tell someone to pull their finger out you might warn a person

that unless they get their act together they will be out the door dismissed

sacked they will be fired get your act together

whoo that was very scary did you notice the way the leaves started to blow as we

moved away from mr. Steve it was almost like like a ghost was was lurking around

was lurking in the apple tree Wow very scary so that's it it is now four

o'clock it's time for me to say goodbye I hope you've enjoyed today's livestream

thank you for joining in thanks a lot I will be here next Sunday
