04:18
I have to say I'm feeling rather pleased because I was early.

258250

04:25
Did you notice I was a few seconds
1
265282
3809
04:29
early today? which I feel very pleased about.
2
269425
4493
04:34
It's raining.
3
274486
1537
04:36
We have rain here at the moment, but the garden is looking very nice
4
276023
5212
04:41
because I think it's safe to say, I think we can say right now
5
281235
3875
04:45
that spring has arrived.
6
285528
3124
04:49
Hello, everyone. This is English Addict.
7
289219
2189
04:51
Coming to you live from the birthplace of English,
8
291408
3324
04:54
which just happens to be.
9
294832
2990
04:57
You know where it is.
10
297922
1972
04:59
It's England.
11
299894
3006
05:05
And I'm in the move.
12
305556
2990
05:08
And we are back.
13
308864
3007
05:14
We are back together again.
14
314142
3525
05:17
It's so good to see you here.
15
317667
3090
05:21
Hi, everybody.
16
321025
1319
05:22
This is Mr.
17
322344
1888
05:24
Duncan in England. That's me, by the way.
18
324232
3241
05:27
How are you today? Are you okay?
19
327773
1854
05:29
I hope so.
20
329627
819
05:30
Are you feeling happy?
21
330446
1136
05:31
Are you feeling good today?
22
331582
2338
05:33
Because I hope you are.
23
333920
3007
05:37
I was feeling really pleased today because I was prepared.
24
337128
5161
05:42
I was ready.
25
342289
2372
05:44
But I have to say, I am feeling a little sad
26
344661
3742
05:48
because I'm on my own completely.
27
348403
3007
05:51
For the next 24 hours.
28
351627
2539
05:54
Steve has gone away.
29
354166
2673
05:56
He has gone on a very important work meeting.
30
356839
4944
06:02
I don't even know where he is.
31
362485
1670
06:05
He didn't tell me.
32
365174
1654
06:06
Not because he didn't want to tell me,
33
366828
2857
06:09
but because I didn't ask where he was staying.
34
369685
3391
06:13
So he is doing something connected with work.
35
373493
3542
06:17
I still find it amazing that Steve decided
36
377452
2940
06:20
after retiring to go back to work.
37
380392
2990
06:24
And I think it is an important thing because from my own
38
384084
3541
06:27
experience of seeing Steve retire
39
387625
4076
06:32
and then decide that he didn't want to
40
392202
3491
06:35
retire told me something very important.
41
395693
3408
06:39
It gave me a little bit of advice because I saw it happening for real.
42
399101
5045
06:44
If you are going to retire, if you are at an age,
43
404931
3875
06:49
maybe you are approaching the age of retirement,
44
409074
3407
06:52
then perhaps you should think carefully
45
412632
3875
06:56
about what you are going to do once you retire.
46
416507
3625
07:00
And I think it is a very important thing.
47
420867
2272
07:04
Many people in their lives
48
424425
1804
07:06
look forward to not having to work again.
49
426229
4544
07:10
However, you might find that
50
430823
3207
07:14
you need to have some sort of plan ready now.
51
434030
4176
07:18
You might think of finance or money
52
438507
3240
07:22
as being important when you retire.
53
442098
2673
07:24
And it is.
54
444771
1203
07:25
Don't get me wrong, it's a very important thing to consider here in this country.
55
445974
5629
07:31
Of course, once we retire officially,
56
451603
3575
07:35
there is a certain age where the state will give you a pension.
57
455478
5095
07:41
And of course, these days, many people also take out
58
461091
3124
07:44
private pensions as well.
59
464449
3240
07:48
So a pension is something
60
468057
3023
07:51
that is put aside for you when you retire.
61
471080
4828
07:55
So when you are no longer working, when you no longer
62
475941
3425
07:59
have your income, then
63
479633
2990
08:02
you have to draw your pension.
64
482924
3090
08:06
So the state here in the UK,
65
486649
2405
08:09
we we have a pension I think at the moment.
66
489054
3809
08:13
Now I might be wrong.
67
493581
1169
08:14
I think it's 67.
68
494750
2940
08:17
Is it really.
69
497690
1053
08:18
No, I think it's still 65.
70
498743
2388
08:21
65 is when you get your pension.
71
501131
3976
08:25
Here in the UK I think it is anyway.
72
505341
2422
08:29
So Steve retired
73
509033
1653
08:30
last year, but then he decided to go back to work last year,
74
510686
5212
08:36
which to me seemed like a strange thing to do.
75
516383
3374
08:39
But he said that he didn't want to stop working.
76
519891
4226
08:44
He wanted to carry on working.
77
524117
2255
08:46
So he retired and then he went back to work.
78
526372
3274
08:50
And that is where he is today.
79
530030
1921
08:51
Doing the job that he decided was more important
80
531951
4594
08:56
than spending time with me
81
536896
3006
09:00
because for a while I thought it was my fault.
82
540086
3976
09:04
I actually thought because being with me sometimes is not easy.
83
544546
5162
09:10
If you've ever met me.
84
550877
1587
09:12
And I know some of you have met me in real life.
85
552464
3909
09:19
There is a lot
86
559664
2071
09:21
to put up with, to be honest with you.
87
561735
2823
09:24
If you get my meaning.
88
564558
2038
09:26
So I actually thought that Steve had gone
89
566596
2639
09:29
back to work to get away from me.
90
569235
3007
09:32
Of course it isn't true.
91
572276
2388
09:35
He just felt that it wasn't the right time to retire.
92
575667
3925
09:39
So that's what he did.
93
579826
1921
09:41
So if you are thinking of retiring, maybe you think that retiring is a wonderful thing,
94
581747
6181
09:47
but you have to make sure you have prepared for it,
95
587928
4944
09:53
not just with money,
96
593390
2572
09:55
but also with your own outlook on life.
97
595962
4093
10:00
Make sure you have something in place for you to actually do
98
600322
4444
10:05
something to keep you busy and
99
605450
3141
10:08
and keep your sense of self-worth.
100
608591
3424
10:12
I think those are very important things.
101
612433
3007
10:15
If you are thinking of retiring.
102
615707
3926
10:20
It's nice to see you here, by the way, every Wednesday and of course, Sunday.
103
620000
5362
10:25
We are live right here on YouTube.
104
625646
2957
10:28
English addict.

628603
1570
10:30
hello, Vitesse.
106
630173
2990
10:33
What a surprise.
107
633764
2473
10:36
You are first on today's live chat.
108
636237
2622
10:47
Well done, Vitesse.
109
647028
1553
10:48
You have the fastest finger in the world.
110
648581
4995
10:53
Palmira is here.
111
653776
1821
10:55
We also have Beatriz.
112
655597
1838
10:57
They were talking about Argentina last night
113
657435
3791
11:01
because apparently some people are not very happy
114
661611
2906
11:04
with their new president in Argentina.
115
664517
3508
11:08
Apparently,
116
668810
2072
11:10
I don't know why, but some people are not feeling happy
117
670882
2990
11:14
about their new president to their new leader.
118
674206
3040
11:18
Hello, also to Roger Sheet.
119
678014
2740
11:20

683326
1019
11:24
It's nice to see you here as well on this lovely Wednesday.
122
684345
4627
11:30
I'm trying not to think of the rain that is falling outside my window.
123
690342
5045
11:35
I'm trying not to think about it, but it is nice
124
695420
3124
11:38
looking out of the window because we have we have the daffodils.
125
698962
3808
11:42
We have all sorts of lovely things growing in the garden as spring says.
126
702770
5847
11:48
Hello.
127
708884
1153
11:50
Hello, spring.
128
710037
1486
11:51
It's nice to see you back once more.
129
711523
3007
11:54
We also have. Giovanni.
130
714681
2672
11:57
Hello, Giovanni.
131
717353
1587
11:58

718940
4293
12:04

Hello, Louis.

12:09
It's nice to see you back, Claudia.
136
729013
2038
12:11
I hope you are okay.
137
731051
1837
12:12
I know it's been a very busy time for you,
138
732888
3425
12:16
and I hope you are feeling a little bit better today.
139
736580
3007
12:20
And you will join in with today's live chat.
140
740171
3007
12:23
Shankar. Hello.
141
743329
1703
12:25
True Shankar.
142
745032
1905
12:26
I like your name, by the way.
143
746937
1737
12:28
It sounds very dramatic.
144
748674
2990
12:31
Hello.
145
751764
301
12:32
Also to maybe a film star.
146
752065
3207
12:35
Shankar, It sounds like the name of a film star.
147
755757
4159
12:40
I think so.
148
760334
1603
12:41
Who else is here?
149
761937
869
12:42
Tom? Hello, Tom. Tom Roberts.
150
762806
3241
12:46
I am very impressed because Mr.
151
766047
2238
12:48
Steve does not look like a pensioner.
152
768285
3358
12:51
Well, he is. He.
153
771893
1804
12:53
He hasn't retired
154
773697
3007
12:57
with his pension yet,
155
777355
2991
13:00
so he isn't 65.
156
780496
3007
13:04
He's.
157
784221
484
13:04
He's nearly 65, but not quite
158
784705
4527
13:11
63. By the way, Mr.
159
791454
2606
13:14
Steve is, and I am not very far behind,
160
794060
3875
13:18
so it won't be long before I'm drawing my pension.
161
798654
2990
13:23
The only question is I hope I have one.
162
803448
3007
13:27
I have to say, working on YouTube, doing this
163
807975
3006
13:31
as a career is not very good for your pension.
164
811549
3926
13:35
I will be honest with you by the way, if you like this,
165
815475
3357
13:39
that is the reason why I am waving this around.
166
819233
2990
13:42
If you like this, please give me a lovely
167
822507
3325
13:45
like and I will be ever so happy.
168
825832
3725
13:49
I will go to bed tonight.
169
829557
2990
13:52
Lonely
170
832881
2606
13:55
but happy because I know that you like this.
171
835487
5195
14:00
It means a lot to me.
172
840916
3006
14:04
Who? Who else is here today?
173
844039
1704
14:05
I want to say hello to everyone.
174
845743
3007
14:08
I don't want to miss anyone out because if I do,
175
848934
2990
14:11
I will become ever so obsessed.
176
851924
2773
14:14
I think.
177
854697
1102
14:15
I think that everyone.
178
855799
1587
14:17
okay, then. That was quick.
179
857386
2105
14:19
That was very fast.
180
859491
1804
14:21
So spring has arrived.
181
861295
2088
14:23
In fact, today today is a special day because it is
182
863383
4544
14:28
the spring equinox.
183
868244
3508
14:32
Today is the day when the day
184
872120
3090
14:35
and night all across the world is equal.
185
875210
3474
14:38
The sun is directly facing the earth from the West.
186
878935
4761
14:44
So this is the spring equinox
187
884414
2439
14:46
here in the Northern Hemisphere.
188
886853
2990
14:50
The hemisphere is the whole of the earth.
189
890027
4861
14:55
You have the North, you have the south, you have the Northern hemisphere.
190
895422
4945
15:00
That's where I am, by the way.
191
900383
2189
15:02
Hello there.
192
902572
1019
15:03
This is the northern Hemisphere here.
193
903591
2605
15:06
Perhaps you are watching in the southern hemisphere.
194
906196
3007
15:09
So a lot of people are having the autumn
195
909471
2522
15:11
equinox in the south because they're at the other end.
196
911993
4193
15:16
You see.
197
916186
1086
15:17
So the equinox is here.
198
917272
1820
15:19
It's always good news for us here in England,
199
919092
3091
15:22
because we know that spring is really coming.
200
922183
4259
15:26
It is on its way as the days
201
926693
3140
15:30
slowly become longer and longer.
202

15:33
So we do have the spring equinox,
203
933441
3208
15:36
which means the daffodils are out in the garden
204
936649
3457
15:40
and everything is looking really, really nice.
205
940608
4359
15:44
Some people, of course, refer to this as the march equinox.
206
944984
5195
15:50
So a lot of people getting excited today
207
950513
2840
15:53
because it does mean that the weather will slowly get better,
208
953353
4744
15:59
even though
209
959066
2790
16:01
it is pouring with rain at the moment outside,
210
961856
3107
16:04
which is not very good news at all at the moment,
211
964963
3157
16:08
to be honest.
212
968387
2856
16:11

Easter is on its way,

1154056
2523
19:16
which means I will be eating lots and lots of hot

1156579
4293
19:20
cross buns over the next few days.

3591
19:24
Something we often eat at this time of year

1164714
3240
19:28
as Easter approaches.
270
1168339
3006
19:31
I'm just wondering if anyone else will be eating them besides me.
271
1171362
4243
19:35
I don't know, really.
272
1175622
1754
19:37
It will be interesting to find out if other people are also eating hot cross buns as well.

1177376
6180
19:44
A quick break.

2990
22:01
It is very nice to have you here.
282
1321602
3090
22:05
My name is Mr. Duncan.
283
1325243
2389
22:07
I hope you are having a good week.
284
1327632
2054
22:09
So far, not too bad.
285
1329686
2088
22:11
Even though I am feeling a little bit lonely today
286
1331774
4778
22:16
because Steve has gone away, he has no choice.
287
1336552
4143
22:20
He had to do it.
288
1340711
1153
22:21
They said, Mr.
289
1341864
902
22:22
Steve, you must come to this meeting or else we will give you the boot.
290
1342766
6381
22:31
Not really.
291
1351285
1704
22:32
Steve said he might watch
292
1352989
2222
22:35
because at the moment I think he's in a very important meeting.
293
1355211
3508
22:38
But he said he might actually have his phone
294
1358986
3541
22:43
under the desk watching this. So.
295
1363095
3124
22:46
Hello, Mr. Steve.
296
1366603
1804
22:48
If you are watching it, the moment under the desk.
297
1368407
3775
22:52
Hi. Hello, Mr. Steve.
298
1372734
2906
22:55
You should be working.
299
1375640
1053
22:56
You should be concentrating on that meeting.
300
1376693
2639
22:59
But instead you are watching me.
301
1379332
1954
23:01
Very naughty.
302
1381286
1704
23:02
We are looking at a very interesting subject today.
303
1382990
3007
23:06
The subject of words.
304
1386047
2907
23:08
One word in particular.
305
1388954
2622
23:11
The word is
306
1391576
1587
23:14
kick.
307
1394516
1403
23:15
Kick.
308
1395919
1237
23:17
Words and phrases.
309
1397156
2088
23:19
We often think of the word kick as being a verb.
310
1399244
4176
23:23
You kick someone.
311
1403654
2221
23:25
You might kick a thing, an object.
312
1405875
3508
23:29
You might kick your car in the morning
313
1409667
3024
23:32
when it doesn't start because it makes you really, really angry.
314
1412691
4593
23:38
So we are looking at words and phrases connected to kick.
315
1418036
4410
23:42
There are many ways of expressing this particular word.
316
1422947
4477
23:47
There might also be some naughty words as well, some
317
1427658
3274
23:51
some slightly rude words as well today.
318
1431283
4744
23:56
So there is the warning right now
319
1436695
2906
23:59
for those who might be sensitive to those sorts of things.
320
1439601
5279
24:05
I suggest you go and lie down in a dark room right now.
321
1445181
5161
24:10
Here we go then.
322
1450610
835
24:11
The word kick to strike out, strike out
323
1451445
3658
24:16
using one's foot, you kick something.
324
1456306
4293
24:20
So it is generally an action, a thing you do.
325
1460966
4260
24:25
However, we can also use it figuratively as well.
326
1465543
4293
24:30
So it's not always an action that is literal.
327
1470087
4460
24:34
Sometimes it is also an action
328
1474965
3006
24:38
that is not literal, a forceful attack
329
1478723
3842
24:43
using the foot.
330
1483334
2255
24:45
So it can be something you do with your foot.
331
1485589
3474
24:49
You kick something kick
332
1489213
3007
24:52
or it is something that you are doing forcefully,
333
1492437
4644
24:58
maybe in an angry way.
334
1498100
2556
25:00
You kick something, maybe you kick the door,
335
1500656
4076
25:05
or maybe you kick a person.
336
1505083
3006
25:10
Please don't do that, by the way.
337
1510161
2105
25:12
I do not condone.
338
1512266
2789
25:15
I am not saying it is good to kick someone.
339
1515055
4009
25:19
Please don't do it
340
1519064
2439
25:21
to strike an object with one's foot
341
1521503
2990
25:24
so you might kick something with your foot.
342
1524627
2990
25:27
Kick a ball, you might kick the door, you might kick the dog.
343
1527684
6264
25:34
Please don't do that either.
344
1534065
1770
25:35
Please don't kick the dog.
345
1535835
2022
25:37
I know sometimes it is annoying.
346
1537857
2355
25:40
The dog will bark when you want it to be quiet.
347
1540212
3007
25:43
It might jump up on your bed and do a wee wee whilst you are asleep.
348
1543519
4795
25:48
It can be very annoying but please, whatever the dog does, please don't kick the dog.
349
1548314
5746
25:54
It is not very nice.
350
1554110
1921
25:59
The word kick
351
1559305
869
26:00
can also mean give up or stop doing something.
352
1560174
5061
26:05
You kick something.
353
1565569
1921
26:07
So you might use this figuratively
354
1567490
3441
26:11
to show that you have stopped doing something.
355
1571265
3659
26:15
You kick the habit, You kick something.
356
1575174
3926
26:19
Something that you don't want to do more.
357
1579100
5479
26:24
Quite often it is something you you don't like doing,
358
1584946
4026
26:29
but you can't stop doing it.
359
1589473
3007
26:32
Something like smoking, drinking, drugs.
360
1592513
4828
26:39
They're playing computer games.
361
1599412
3024
26:42
Maybe you are trying to kick the habit of spending all night
362
1602436
4861
26:47
playing one of your computer games so it can happen.
363
1607865
3558
26:51
There are many things that you might find that you don't want to do anymore.
364
1611440
4927
26:56
You might kick a habit.
365
1616868
2940
26:59
So a certain type of habit you stop doing, you kick the habit.
366
1619808
4444
27:04
You might kick smoking.
367
1624753
2556
27:07
I'm going to kick smoking.
368
1627309
2639
27:09
I'm going to stop doing it
369
1629948
2756
27:12
because it is bad for my health.
370
1632704
3007
27:16
Even though I don't smoke anyway, I've never done it.
371
1636312
2990
27:19
Can you believe it?
372
1639369
1253
27:20
I have never smoked
373
1640622
3007
27:24
a cigarette ever in my life, even though both of my parents
374
1644080
4627
27:29
used to smoke quite a lot, so I did not need
375
1649125
4644
27:34
to kick the habit
376
1654787
1587
27:36
because I didn't start it in the first place.
377
1656374
3007
27:40
Then we have another phrase that uses the word kick.
378
1660166
3742
27:44
We can say that
379
1664727
2990
27:48
something will kick off.
380
1668702
3007
27:52
Something will begin to start doing something.
381
1672344
4142
27:56
You kick off.
382
1676486
2356
27:58
It means you begin doing something.
383
1678842
2673
28:01
You start doing something, you kick off,
384
1681515
3791
28:05
you begin doing that particular thing.
385
1685874
3926
28:10
The match will kick off
386
1690635
3007
28:14
at three.
387
1694327
1470
28:15
So that means that the football match
388
1695797
3007
28:18
or any game in fact will begin at 3:00.
389
1698921
4911
28:24
It will start at three, The match will kick off at three.
390
1704015
6582
28:31
What time is the kick off?
391
1711582
2991
28:35
So if someone asks you that question, what time is the kick off?
392
1715057
4594
28:40
What time does the match begin?
393
1720336
3274
28:44
So you can see the one at the top is actually being used
394
1724445
3207
28:47
in a different way from the one at the bottom.
395
1727652
3308
28:51
So to kick off here is the verb,
396
1731678
3124
28:56
and the kick off here is the noun.
397
1736021
3692
29:00
What time is the kick off?
398
1740164
2322
29:02
What time is it?
399
1742486
2839
29:05
So kick off can be a noun or a verb.
400
1745325
4026
29:09
The kick off is
401
1749735
2790
29:12
or they will kick off at a certain time.
402
1752525
5162
29:18
So the first one is the noun.
403
1758171
2756
29:20
The kick off is the actual thing, and the verb
404
1760927
4260
29:25
is the action of beginning that
405
1765187
3040
29:28
thing, the actual beginning, the actual kick-off.
406
1768227
5513
29:38
Here's another one.
407
1778367
2004
29:40
A fight or trouble
408
1780371
2974
29:43
might suddenly kick off.
409
1783345
2990
29:46
Something suddenly starts, Something begins.
410
1786903
3959
29:51
Something starts very quickly.
411
1791162
2356
29:53
Without any warning.
412
1793518
1887
29:55
Maybe something that is aggressive
413
1795405
3324
29:59
or violent might suddenly kick off
414
1799448
3908
30:04
a fight, or trouble might suddenly begin or start.
415
1804008
4594
30:09
We say that it suddenly kicks off.
416
1809286
3993
30:14
A sudden state of chaos kicks off.
417
1814899
3458
30:19
So when something kicks off, it means it starts
418
1819075
3592
30:23
sometimes quite suddenly
419
1823201
2940
30:26
or unexpectedly, without warning.
420
1826141
3542
30:30
Maybe a fight kicks off
421
1830167
2439
30:33
in the local pub
422
1833675
1871
30:35
because everyone has had too much to drink.
423
1835546
2990
30:40
A fight or trouble might suddenly kick off
424
1840724
2740
30:43
a sudden state of chaos kicks off.
425
1843464
3625
30:47
So that is how we are using that phrase
426
1847573
3742
30:52
as a phrase.
427
1852584
1203
30:53
Something might be a kick
428
1853787
2990
30:57
in the teeth.
429
1857412
1553
30:58
So this is an expression.
430
1858965
1888
31:00
It's not literal.
431
1860853
1654
31:02
So this particular thing is being used figuratively,
432
1862507
4510
31:07
not as an actual action.
433
1867334
3007
31:10
So as a phrase, something might be a kick in the teeth,
434
1870341
5162
31:16
a hurtful action towards someone or from someone.
435
1876154
4744
31:21
Maybe a person does something to you and you feel very hurt and upset by it.
436
1881166
6280
31:28
Maybe the action of another person upsets you.
437
1888064
3842
31:32
You feel as if you have been kicked in the teeth.
438
1892274
3441
31:36
It feels like a kick in the teeth.
439
1896684
3408
31:40
I can't believe he did that.
440
1900676
1253
31:41
To me, it is such a kick in the teeth
441
1901929
3725
31:47
used figure actively, not literally.
442
1907425
3558
31:51
Unless of course you have been in a fight
443
1911835
2422
31:54
where someone has literally kicked you in the teeth.
444
1914257
4176
31:59
A hurtful action towards someone can feel
445
1919569
3057
32:02
like a kick in the teeth.
446
1922626
3007
32:05
So we are using that particular phrase
447
1925900
3424
32:09
figuratively, not actually.
448
1929558
3007
32:14
Here we go.
449
1934052
818
32:14
Here is the warning once again for those
450
1934870
2873
32:17
who are easily offended or upset.
451
1937743
3041
32:22
So so I'm telling you now we are going to say some rude words here
452
1942153
4026
32:26
to give someone a kick up the arse.
453
1946413
3541
32:30
If you kick someone up the arse,
454
1950505
3057
32:33
it means you scold or warn a person for their laziness
455
1953913
4744
32:39
or poor performance in their job.
456
1959175
4260
32:44
You give them a kick up the arse.
457
1964337
2355
32:46
So again, this is figuratively
458
1966692
3007
32:50
you are not using using literal terms.
459
1970116
3057
32:53
You are not literally being kicked
460
1973658
2606
32:57
up the arse.
461
1977316
2021
32:59
You are being told off,
462
1979337
2389
33:01
you are being scolded by your boss.
463
1981726
3007
33:04
They are telling you that you have to improve your work,
464
1984933
5580
33:10
you have to work harder or else you will be out.
465
1990663
4944
33:15
We will give you the sack.
466
1995624
1787
33:17
So you might say that you are getting a kick at the arse.
467
1997411
5195
33:23
You are being told that you have to do something better.
468
2003058
3842
33:27
You have to improve your performance
469
2007584
3007
33:30
to scold or warn a person for their laziness
470
2010775
5780
33:37
or their poor work.
471
2017106
2957
33:40
Have you ever been kicked up the arse?
472
2020063
3006
33:43
Have you ever been lazy in your job or at work?
473
2023287
3958
33:47
Perhaps someone has had to tell you
474
2027697
2990
33:50
to improve your work or work harder,
475
2030837
3324
33:54
or else you will be out the door
476
2034646
3875
34:00
to give some some support.
477
2040191
3007
34:03
I can't believe I just said that.
478
2043649
1854
34:05
I said it about eight times.
479
2045503
2556
34:08
You might get a kick out of doing something.
480
2048059
3124
34:11
You might get a kick out of doing something.
481
2051985
5278
34:17
I get no kick from champagne.
482
2057815
3407
34:22
It's a song, by the way.
483
2062909
3007
34:26
A kick in this use is a thrill
484
2066267
3625
34:31
or pleasure.
485
2071662
1454
34:33
Something that gives you pleasure.
486
2073116
1971
34:35
It makes you feel excited.
487
2075087
2255
34:37
Maybe something you should not be doing gives you
488
2077342
4076
34:42
a kick of some sort.
489
2082587
2740
34:45
Maybe a person who is not very nice.
490
2085327
2873
34:48
They might get a kick out of being rude to other people.
491
2088200
5947
34:55
I saw a film the other night, by the way, that deeply disturbed me.
492
2095015
3742
35:00
It is one of the most disturbing films I think I've ever seen.
493
2100377
3007
35:03
It's very old film,
494
2103835
2372
35:06
Madame Whistle.
495
2106207
1587
35:07
If you ever get a chance to see that film.
496
2107794
2339
35:10
It is.
497
2110133
718
35:10
It is a really, really disturbing film.
498
2110851
2990
35:13
That's all I'm saying.
499
2113975
985
35:14
I watched it the other night.
500
2114960
1253
35:16
Very old film.
501
2116213
1320
35:17
I think it was made in 1966.
502
2117533
2773
35:20
I think it's an Italian film, but all the people in the film
503
2120306
3140
35:23
are English or they're speaking English.
504
2123446
3057
35:27
And to make matters worse and more confusing,
505
2127171
2372
35:29
I think the film is set in France,
506
2129543
2990
35:32
but it is a very disturbing film.
507
2132634
2238
35:35
Mademoiselle is the name of the film.
508
2135908
3474
35:41
He seems to get a kick out of making people cry.
509
2141203
5195
35:46
Some people do.
510
2146632
1804
35:48
Why is that?
511
2148436
1436
35:49
Why do some people enjoy making other people unhappy?
512
2149872
4928
35:55
Very strange.
513
2155752
1353
35:57
He seems to get a kick out of making people cry.
514
2157105
3208
36:00
He seems to enjoy making people feel upset.
515
2160680
4226
36:05
She gets a kick out of shoplifting or
516
2165391
5613
36:12
Mr. Duncan.
517
2172774
802
36:13
That is very naughty.
518
2173576
1286
36:14
A person who goes shoplifting
519
2174862
3007
36:18
is a person who goes into the shop and they steal things.
520
2178053
3625
36:22
They put the things in their pocket without paying.
521
2182095
3191
36:25
They shoplift.
522
2185754
1503
36:27
Some people get get a lot of excitement from doing that.
523
2187257
3324
36:31
I suppose it could be exciting
524
2191633
2473
36:34
as long as you don't get caught.
525
2194106
2990
36:38
But to be honest with you, I don't think it's a good idea.
526
2198065
3257
36:41
There is someone I know
527
2201756
1253
36:44
in their childhood
528
2204062
1703
36:45
and they used to go shoplifting.
529
2205765
3007
36:49
I'm not saying who it is, but it is someone I know.
530
2209825
4075
36:54
And I know them very well.
531
2214502
1971
36:56
But when they were when they were young, they used to go shoplifting with their friend.
532
2216473
5646
37:02
Until
533
2222303
1971
37:04
one day they were caught.
534
2224274
2890
37:07
Doing it.
535
2227164
1319
37:08
And they had to go to the police station.
536
2228483
2489
37:10
And they spent a short time in the police cell.
537
2230972
3391
37:16
So don't do it.
538
2236518
785
37:17
Be careful.
539
2237303
1136
37:18
Some people get a thrill.
540
2238439
2823
37:21
They feel excited when they do something that is naughty,
541
2241262
4377
37:25
such as stealing from shops.
542
2245906
4126
37:30
Please don't do it.
543
2250767
1470
37:32
I don't advise that you do it.
544
2252237
2639
37:34
But there was someone who used to do it.
545
2254876
2289
37:37
They don't do it anymore because they were caught.
546
2257165
2990
37:42
You know who it is?
547
2262527
986
37:44
I know who it is.
548
2264632
1353
37:45
I was very shocked when I found out that that person
549
2265985
4560
37:51
used to stealing from shops.
550
2271197
2405
37:53
I was.
551
2273602
418
37:54
I was actually quite upset.
552
2274020
3006
37:57
Here's another word
553
2277344
1620
37:58
we can use when we are dancing or performing.
554
2278964
3458
38:02
You might do a high kick.
555
2282806
3391
38:07
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, boop.
556
2287016
3892
38:11
You might lift your leg up very high when you are dancing
557
2291242
3925
38:15
like those ladies from the Folly Badger.
558
2295585
3909
38:19
They might do their
559
2299728
2890
38:22
high kick.
560
2302618
1403
38:24
They lift their legs up very high.
561
2304021
2038
38:26
I don't know how they do it. Well, maybe a ballet dancer.
562
2306059
3424
38:29
Of course. A ballet
563
2309516
2423
38:31
might lift their leg up very high as they are performing.
564
2311939
4643
38:36
I don't know how they do it, but I'm sure
565
2316883
2823
38:39
it must come in very useful for certain things
566
2319706
4443
38:44
to lift one's leg high up whilst performing.
567
2324801
3575
38:48
Is beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
568
2328777
2990
38:52
A high kick.
569
2332017
1554
38:53
High kick.
570
2333571
1102
38:54
You can kick your leg very high.
571
2334673
3491
38:58
Unfortunately, I cannot kick my leg very high.
572
2338181
4794
39:02
I can't.
573
2342992
952
39:03
I can't lift anything, to be honest.
574
2343944
2857
39:06
Very high.
575
2346801
1587
39:08
I have. It takes me 10 minutes to get out of bed.
576
2348388
2706
39:12
I have to lift
577
2352463
702
39:13
one leg over the edge of the bed slowly.
578
2353165
3441
39:16
And then I have to bring the other leg to the edge of the bed.
579
2356940
3508
39:20
And then I have to slowly turn myself around
580
2360448
4076
39:25
as I slowly come to terms
581
2365576
3909
39:30
with another day of existence.
582
2370320
3208
39:35
So no, my days of high
583
2375716
2222
39:37
kicking are well and truly over.
584
2377938
3925
39:43
Not that they existed anyway.
585
2383316
2005
39:45
To be honest, I could never get my legs very high
586
2385321
2990
39:48
despite the rumours to here's another one, by the way.
587
2388979
5279
39:54
Another warning.
588
2394258
1052
39:55
If you are easily offended, upset, please don't be.
589
2395310
4410
39:59
Because I am telling you now that we are about to say
590
2399720
3007
40:04
kick ass, kick, kick ass.
591
2404047
3808
40:08
To kick ass is to attack or beat
592
2408089
4176
40:12
someone up.
593
2412583
3006
40:16
But not like that.
594
2416107
1788
40:17
That's not that's not really
595
2417895
1770
40:20
beating someone up.
596
2420835
1169
40:22
That's nothing.
597
2422004
2739
40:24
Can you imagine me in a fight?
598
2424743
2990
40:28
I wouldn't last very long.
599
2428017
1821
40:29
That's all I can say.
600
2429838
1704
40:31
To kick ass is to attack or beat up someone.
601
2431542
4260
40:35
You attack them.
602
2435802
1420
40:37
There was a film, wasn't it, called Kick Ass.
603
2437222
3357
40:41
In fact, I think there were two films and did you hear yesterday?
604
2441565
4142
40:45
Apparently one of the stars from Kick Ass.
605
2445707
3508
40:49
The movie is going to be the new James Bond.
606
2449549
3692
40:55
I don't even know who that person is.
607
2455279
2372
40:57
I never heard of them.
608
2457651
1954
40:59
A kick ass is a person
609
2459605
2506
41:02
who can go around beating people up very easily.
610
2462111
3792
41:06
Maybe a tough guy, maybe a person who is very strong
611
2466237
4377
41:10
and they they can take care of themselves.
612
2470964
3642
41:14
Or of course, to kick ass is a verb.
613
2474923
3876
41:19
So you are beating someone up.
614
2479066
1888
41:20
You are actually beating that person up,
615
2480954
3574
41:24
you are kicking someone's ass.
616
2484913
2856
41:32
I wonder how many
617
2492246
735
41:32
stripes YouTube are going to give me for this livestream.
618
2492981
4126
41:37
I wonder.
619
2497107
885
41:37
Let's see if I can get five to kick
620
2497992
2890
41:40
ass is to attack or beat up someone.
621
2500882
2990
41:44
We can use it as a noun or a verb.
622
2504022
3525
41:49
No, not again.
623
2509752
1303
41:51
There's more.
624
2511055
2088
41:53
There's more of them.
625
2513143
3007
41:58
I might as well delete my YouTube channel
626
2518522
2489
42:01
now because I am going to get into so much trouble over this.
627
2521011
3742
42:05
You have no idea how much trouble I'm going to get into for doing this.
628
2525037
4994
42:10
To get your ass kicked is to have been
629
2530315
3324
42:13
defeated or beaten in a fight.
630
2533639
3057
42:17
Maybe someone beat you.
631
2537248
2004
42:19
Maybe you decided to have a fight with someone and the other person
632
2539252
3926
42:23
beats you in the fight.
633
2543545
2990
42:26
You can say that you had your your ass kicked by someone.
634
2546986
3775
42:32
You got a good ass kicking
635
2552933
1553
42:34
from your neighbour.
636
2554486
3007
42:38
Have you ever had a good ass kicking from your neighbour?
637
2558646
2990
42:42
Has your neighbour ever come around to complain,
638
2562137
3090
42:45
or have you ever been round to your neighbour and complain to them?
639
2565612
4293
42:50
And maybe they've become very violent and threatened you,
640
2570873
3208
42:55
so just
641
2575066
3007
43:00
this might be my last ever livestream.
642
2580111
2990
43:03
If it is.
643
2583502
986
43:04
Thank you for watching me for all of these years.
644
2584488
3541
43:08
It was lovely being here on YouTube.
645
2588480
2723
43:11
It was ever so nice.
646
2591203
2739
43:13
Okay, I'm not going to say that again.
647
2593942
1771
43:15
Just in case.
648
2595713
1253
43:16
Just in case YouTube come around and
649
2596966
3007
43:21
they might cut my wire, which apparently is very painful.
650
2601376
4176
43:27
The enjoyment of something
651
2607289
3007
43:30
is to get a kick.
652
2610446
2990
43:34
You might get a kick out of something that is enjoyable,
653
2614188
4894
43:39
something nice, something that's fun,
654
2619283
2856
43:42
something that is harmless.
655
2622139
2907
43:45
So earlier I said that people can be rude
656
2625046
3641
43:49
or nasty or horrible and they enjoy it.
657
2629155
3458
43:52
But this is to do something that gives you genuine
658
2632947
5095
43:58
pleasure, it gives you enjoyment, and you love doing it so much,
659
2638493
4978
44:04
you get a kick out of doing it.
660
2644941
2489
44:07
I get a real kick out of learning new English words.
661
2647430
3625
44:11
So that might be something you say. You might say, Mr.
662
2651322
2823
44:14
Duncan, I get a kick out of learning new English words.
663
2654145
5345
44:19
You enjoy it.
664
2659758
1386
44:21
It is a thing that gives you pleasure,
665
2661144
4043
44:25
enjoyment, satisfaction.
666
2665855
2990
44:29
You feel as if it is something that you want to do all the time.
667
2669095
4728
44:34
It is something you enjoy doing.
668
2674274
2856
44:37
You get a kick out of it.
669
2677130
3658
44:41
It feels pleasurable.
670
2681123
2271
44:43
It feels like something that you want to do again and again.
671
2683394
4410
44:47
But this is a nice thing, maybe something that you enjoy,
672
2687905
4493
44:52
maybe you like going out for a walk in the countryside and you like to see
673
2692699
5312
44:58
all of the beautiful nature around you.
674
2698762
2990
45:02
You might say, I get a kick out of walking in the countryside.
675
2702053
4744
45:07
It gives me a lot of pleasure.
676
2707131
1971
45:09
I enjoy doing it.
677
2709102
2556
45:11
It is very nice indeed.
678
2711658
4293
45:16
And that,
679
2716903
1320
45:18
as they say, is that I would imagine
680
2718223
3157
45:21
that a lot of people will know other
681
2721798
3007
45:24
words and phrases connected to kick.
682
2724921
3174
45:28
In fact, there might be quite a few, but the ones I've showed you today
683
2728162
4293
45:32
are the most common.
684
2732873
2990
45:35
They are the most common forms of the word kick.
685
2735863
4026
45:41
Look at that.
686
2741175
1771
45:42
It's 245 almost.
687
2742946
3006
45:46
I hope you've enjoyed this lesson.
688
2746788
2706
45:49
Can I tell you something?
689
2749494
1620
45:51
Because I have a lot of information to give you next weekend.
690
2751114
4109
45:55
Next Sunday? I am with you.
691
2755491
3006
45:58
Please don't be late.
692
2758915
2188
46:01
The kick will be at 2 p.m.
693
2761103
3274
46:04
UK time.
694
2764394
1086
46:05
As usual, there is Mr.
695
2765480
2873
46:08
Duncan merchandise.
696
2768353
1954
46:10
You will be able to get your own Mr.
697
2770307
2439
46:12
Duncan t shirt
698
2772746
2940
46:15
and also another item as well,
699
2775686
2990
46:19
which I'm not going to tell you about at the moment.
700
2779077
2055
46:21
It's going to be a big surprise. And
701
2781132
3157
46:25
there is a new YouTube channel coming.
702
2785341
2422
46:27
I am at the moment creating new lessons, a very different type of channel.
703
2787763
5429
46:33
It will be my channel.
704
2793493
1687
46:35
It will have me on the channel teaching English as usual,
705
2795180
4677
46:40
but it will be slightly different from from how it is normally.
706
2800158
4778
46:45
And that is all I have to say for today.
707
2805470
2122
46:47
I hope you've enjoyed today's live.
708
2807592
3006
46:50
There are lots of things to look at.
709
2810832
1754
46:52
You can watch this all over again if you want.
710
2812586
3592
46:56
You can if you are feeling brave.
711
2816361
2990
46:59
Has it stopped raining?
712
2819502
1453
47:00
I'm going to look outside to see if it's stopped.
713
2820955
2990
47:04
I think it may have stopped raining.
714
2824947
2990
47:08
You can see my little heron.
715
2828155
2121
47:10
Little heron is all wet.
716
2830276
3007
47:13
Yes, it does look as if I've painted it, but I haven't.
717
2833901
3007
47:17
This is. This is. This is the
718
2837275
1738
47:20
Fed. The heroin that Mr.
719
2840115
2606
47:22
Steve bought for me about three years ago.
720
2842721
3692
47:27
So I think it looks rather nice in the garden now.
721
2847081
3023
47:30
And that that's what that is.
722
2850655
1621
47:32
You can also see the daffodils as well, because today
723
2852276
5128
47:37
it is the spring equinox
724
2857905
2823
47:40
and now everything is going to slowly get
725
2860728
3692
47:45
warmer,
726
2865623
1670
47:47
brighter, more pleasant,
727
2867293
3007
47:51
at least I hope so.
728
2871653
1253
47:52
Anyway, thank you very much for your company today.
729
2872906
4477
47:57
I will see you on Sunday.
730
2877650
1603
47:59
I will be here. Mr.
731
2879253
1604
48:00
Steve will be here as well, both of us, for 2 hours.
732
2880857
5947
48:07
And we have a lot to tell you.
733
2887038
3006
48:11
Some big things coming over
734
2891565
2104
48:13
the next few weeks, I can tell you right now.
735
2893669
3157
48:16
Thank you for your company.
736
2896826
1287
48:18
It's been lovely having you here.
737
2898113
2038
48:20
I will see you on Sunday.
738
2900151
2305
48:22
Don't forget the time.
739
2902456
1353
48:23
2 p.m.
740
2903809
1203
48:25
UK time is when I'm back with you.
741
2905012
2422
48:27
Give me a like as well if you like this and do this under
742
2907434
5646
48:34
my video and I will see you very soon.
743
2914466
3742
48:38
And of course until the next time we meet, you know what's coming next.
744
2918208
4443
48:42
Of course you do.
745
2922651
1353
48:44
You know what's coming next. Take care.
746
2924004
2940
48:46
Enjoy yourself.
747
2926944
1136
48:48
I am going to have a cup of tea on my own
748
2928080
3007
48:52
because, Mr.
749
2932407
685
48:53
Steve, is it here?
750
2933092
2990
48:57
I think of me.
751
2937886
2489
49:00
And of course...
752
2940375
1086
49:04
ta ta for now,
753
2944083
1854
49:05
see you on Sunday.
