we had the most amazing morning here  in england however as the day went on  
11
460960
5920
07:47
the weather became more unsettled in around about  actually around about 50 minutes ago i was here  
12
467440

07:55
underneath my gazebo and the rain was pouring  down and also the wind was very strong in fact  
13
475600
8320
08:03
it was blowing so strongly i thought it was going  to carry my gazebo away i had to hold on to it  
14
483920
8720
08:14
just in case the wind decided to take it away  so yes i i had a little bit of drama here in  
15
494000
7040
08:21
the garden a few moments ago needless to say rain  is probably one of the worst things you can have  
16
501040
8400
08:29
when you are trying to do an outside  live stream so the combination of rain  
17
509440
5200
08:34
and then wind pretty awful to say the  least talking of things that are unpleasant  
18
514640
6880
08:42
we also have the lockdown which is continuing yes  we are into day 13 of the lockdown here in england

20
532560
5600
08:58

21
538160
6960
09:05
the english language that is what i do i'm an  english teacher i've been doing this on youtube  
22

24
561120
7680
09:28
there would be no point me being here if you  were not here so i'm glad to see so many people  
25
568800
7360
09:36
joining in already on the live chat i hope  you got the notification i did send them out  
26
576160
6160
09:42
even though quite often youtube does not  send the notifications for which i apologize  
27
582320
9040
09:52
it is in fact not my fault it's nothing  to do with me unfortunately youtube has  
28
592560
6320
09:58
control over everything that occurs here  now and already my throat has gone very dry
29
598880
8320
10:09
so i need to rearrange  things here slightly because
30
609760
3360
10:16
i can't begin to tell you how bad the weather  was earlier we had the most awful weather  
31
616400
5760
10:22
pretty bad in fact so i have some things to  show you today if they don't blow away of course  
32
622960
8880
10:32
wow everything was going really well until the  rain started coming down and then the wind arrived  
33
632560
7200
10:39
and then suddenly everything became rather  unsettled to say the least hello to the live  
34
639760
7280

7040
11:17
thank you for joining me today on  the live stream underneath my gazebo  
38
677680
4800
11:24
i can't begin to tell you how bad the  weather was we've had some really bad weather  
39
684320
4560
11:29
wind rain and if there is one thing that we  love doing here in england we love talking about  
40
689680
9360
11:39
the weather i'm going to mention the weather  quite a lot today because we are talking about  
41
699040
5040
11:44
wind wind it is quite possibly one of the most  destructive forces in nature when you think  
42
704880
8080
11:52
about it so i know that rain can cause a lot of  damage flooding landslides loss of life of course  
43
712960
9600
12:03
but wind i think wind is one of the most  destructive forces of nature so when we talk  
44
723920
7120
12:11
about force of nature we are actually talking  about natural occurrences things that cannot  
45
731040
7520
12:18
be controlled if there is one thing that we  cannot control it's the weather as i found out  
46
738560
8640
12:27
about an hour ago when my gazebo nearly flew away  in the wind you may also notice today i am outside  
47
747920
9120
12:37
in the garden and behind me can you see behind  me i have my lovely bird feeders however they  
48
757040
8160
12:45
are empty at the moment so the birds are coming  into the garden unfortunately there is no food in  
49
765200
7440
12:52
the bird feeders so one of the things i'm going  to do today during the live stream is put some  
50
772640
5680
12:58
food into the bird feeders and hopefully we will  get some birds coming down during the live stream  
51
778320
7520
13:07
so as i mentioned just we have wind types types of  wind when we talk about wind we are talking about  
52
787520
10480
13:18
air pressure you can have high pressure or low  pressure so depending on what the pressure is  
53
798000
7120
13:26
what the pressure is in the air depends on  how strong the wind will be so you might find  
54
806160
6640
13:32
that certain types of air pressure will bring no  wind some types of air pressure will bring a lot  
55
812800
8800
13:41
of wind sometimes too much wind more wind than  we can cope with so let's have a look shall we
56
821600
9680
13:54
different types of wind when we talk about wind we  are talking about well first of all you can have  
57
834160
8000
14:02
very light wind so there is a type of wind  that doesn't really cause any damage in fact  
58
842720
6160
14:08
you might find that it can be very soothing it  can be quite pleasant especially on a hot day  
59
848880
6960
14:16
so you might have something called a breeze  breeze the word breeze is a gentle wind  
60
856560
10320
14:28
calming wind something that  might make you feel quite good  
61
868080
4320
14:33
on a hot day so quite often we love to have a  breeze in the air we love breezes you can also say  
62
873760
11840
14:45
it is windy so if there is a lot of wind around  you can say generally it is windy so breeze gentle  
63
885600
10080
14:57
soothing a nice wind a gentle breeze you might  also say that it's breezy the day is breezy  
64
897360
11440
15:08
there is a breeze windy also we can say  blustery now to be honest i might describe today  
65
908800
11040
15:20
as a bit blustery to be honest so i think  today the weather is quite blustery we are  
66
920560
7600
15:28
having lots of sudden gusts of wind which are  causing quite a few problems here in the garden
67
928160
6720
15:36
especially for me blustery so the wind  can be strong the wind can be sudden and  
68
936960
7200
15:44
blustery wind can also cause lots of  damage as well if the wind is very strong  
69
944720
7600
15:52
we might say that the wind is gale force gale  so a gale is a very strong wind prolonged  
70
952320
10880
16:03
strong something that might cause  damage to property trees structures  
71
963760
8320
16:12
so when we talk about gales we are talking about  very strong winds winds that can cause damage  
72
972960
9600
16:24
and then of course we have things such as  hurricanes a hurricane is a very strong wind  
73
984160
6880
16:31
normally part of a storm so quite often when  you have a hurricane you might just have wind  
74
991760
6880
16:39
you might also have wind and rain as well we can  also describe a hurricane as a cyclone so there  
75
999280
9520
16:48
is another word cyclone a cyclone is a twisting  swirling wind once again it can cause a lot of  
76
1008800
12640
17:01
damage a great deal of damage cyclone did you know  that cyclones go in different directions depending  
77
1021440
9920
17:11
on where you are in the world for example if  you are in the north or the northern hemisphere  
78
1031360
6880
17:18
the actual cyclone will go anticlockwise  however if you are in the southern hemisphere  
79
1038240
6880
17:25
the cyclone will actually go clockwise it will go  in the opposite direction it's a little bit like  
80
1045680
6720
17:32
the toilet water you see when you flush the toilet  the water will also go in different directions  
81
1052400
6880
17:40
different ways around depending  on where you are in the world  
82
1060160
3760
17:45
so those are the different types of wind that  you can have we can describe them all as that  
83
1065760
6320
17:52
in english you can have a gentle breeze  it can be windy it can be blustery  
84
1072640
7200
18:00
there might be a gale blowing strongly or if the  wind is very severe you might have a hurricane or  
85
1080480
10320
18:10
a cyclone certain parts of the world have their  seasons defined by the amount of rain and wind  
86
1090800
8560
18:19
that they receive certain parts of the world  will have the hurricane season certain parts  
87
1099360
7040
18:26
of the united states south america asia will have  hurricane or cyclone seasons that means the air  
88
1106400
10080
18:36
pressure will cause strong winds to form large  storms which might sweep across a certain area  
89
1116480
7760
18:44
quite often they will originate in the  ocean and then they would they will head  
90
1124880
4960
18:49
inland and by doing that they will cause a  lot of damage indeed a great deal of damage
91
1129840
9280
19:02
now here's an interesting word
92
1142160
1680
19:06
in fact first of all we're going to look at  something else there are some wind words that  
93
1146320
6240
19:12
can be used in different ways in the english  language for example you can say breeze as  
94
1152560
7200
19:19
a way of expressing something that is easy so if  something is easy you can say that it was a breeze  
95
1159760
10160
19:29
it was easy something that is easy to do you can  say that it was a breeze it was so easy to do  
96
1169920
9840
19:40
maybe you have an exam and you sit your exam and  then afterwards your friends will ask how was  
97
1180960
7200
19:48
the exam and you will say it was a breeze it was  easy it was no problem i found it very easy to do  
98
1188160
10960
19:59
it was a breeze we can say an ill wind so when  we say ill wind we mean a bad feeling or maybe  
99
1199120
12480
20:13
a bad feeling in the air maybe you are having some  disagreements with your neighbours about something  
100
1213040
7360
20:20
you might say that there is an ill wind there is  a bad feeling in the air the sense of maybe doom  
101
1220960
9840
20:31
something that is coming your way  that might bring harm or bad feelings  
102
1231840
9200
20:42
you can breeze in oh so another use of the  word breeze if you breeze in it means you move  
103
1242800
8720
20:52
casually you breeze in you might walk into the  room casually you breeze in you might walk by  
104
1252400
11520
21:04
casually without a care in the world we can  say that you breeze by you go by casually you  
105
1264560
10320
21:14
breeze in you come in casually you breeze by you  walk past casually without a care in the world
106
1274880
10880
21:27
here's another one
107
1287840
2000
21:33
you can put the wind up someone put the wind up  somewhat if you put the wind at someone it means  
108
1293040
8160
21:41
you cause alarm or shock so you cause a person to  be shocked or alarmed by someone you put the wind  
109
1301200
9760
21:50
up someone you suddenly make them afraid shocked  or surprised you give them some news or maybe you  
110
1310960
9200
22:00
make them suddenly afraid you make them jump you  put the wind up someone to cause alarm or shock  
111
1320800
9520
22:10
to someone so there are some uses of wind words  that can be used in the english language it's true
112
1330960
9840
22:24
now here is the thing that i wanted  to show you earlier i almost forgot  
113
1344640
4560
22:29
to show you the other meanings of the wind  words but here we go have you ever heard of
114
1349200
7040
22:38
have you ever heard of the fern effect have you  ever heard of it the fern effect now as you can  
115
1358800
9280
22:48
see the word itself looks foreign and that's  because it is derived from another language  
116
1368080
6800
22:55
the fern effect and there at the bottom you  can see the actual way of pronouncing it fern
117
1375760
7680
23:05
the fern effect if you listen very carefully  you might hear the refuse collectors they are  
118
1385760
8080
23:13
now coming to empty the way the waste bins so  our dustbins are being emptied at the moment  
119
1393840
7760
23:21
so if you listen very carefully you will hear  the sound of the dustbins being emptied oh yes  
120
1401600
6720
23:29
i have such a glamorous life here in england  so what is the fern effect for those who are  
121
1409360
7120
23:36
wondering what it is it is a type of wind it  is actually a type of wind i will show you
122
1416480
8320
23:48
the fern effect is a warm dry southerly wind  that forms in the lee of any mountain range  
123
1428400
9760
23:58
when we say lee we mean the calm side so  you might say that one side of a mountain  
124
1438160
6560
24:05
there is a storm and on the opposite side it is  calm we often describe that as the lee li in fact  
125
1445600
10320
24:15
there it is so the the lee is the sheltered side  of a mountain and that is what the fern effect is  
126
1455920
10720
24:27
a warm dry southerly wind that forms  in the lee of any mountain range  
127
1467280
5920
24:34
at the moment in scotland we are having some  fern effect which is causing a lot of mild  
128
1474240
6960
24:41
air to blow around and that is one of the reasons  why at the moment here in the uk the weather is  
129
1481200
6560
24:47
quite mild we are having a lot of warm air flying  around at the moment and that is one of the  
130
1487760
6800
24:54
reasons why the weather is a little bit unsettled  that's why we had so much rain today you see
131
1494560
6720
25:04
hello to the live chat thomas hello thomas nice to  see you here thomas says youtube does not send me  
132
1504160
8720
25:12
an email notification for at least 10 weeks i'm  sorry to hear that unfortunately there are many  
133
1512880
7680
25:20
things on youtube that i have no control over  and one of those things is the notifications  
134
1520560
7520
25:28
so there are many things at the moment on youtube  that seem to be working or not working at all
135
1528080
6400
25:38
a hot southerly wind on the  northern slopes of the alps  
136
1538960
4720
25:44
can be described as a fern the fern effect is a  warm wind that is created from the far side of  
137
1544480
13280
25:57
a mountain would you like to see an illustration  oh mr duncan we would like very much can we really  
138
1557760
7760
26:05
see an illustration of the fern effect okay  then there it is so that is what it looks like  
139
1565520
6480
26:12
the fern effect so on one side you can see the  storm it is very wet very cool and on the far side  
140
1572800
11040
26:25
the lee of the mountain you can see that the  turbulence is causing warm air to be formed  
141
1585200
9200
26:35
so you have the cool air rising normally  there is a lot of moisture maybe even a storm  
142
1595040
6480
26:42
and then at the top the air will swirl around  and that pressure will cause the air to heat up  
143
1602160
10000
26:52
you might also have bright sunshine as well which  will also heat up the air so for those wondering  
144
1612160
8400
27:00
what the fern effect is that is what it is and at  the moment here in the uk we are actually having  
145
1620560
7920
27:09
the fern effect in scotland and it is causing a  lot of strange a lot of weird weather conditions
146
1629200
10640
27:22
like the ones that we experienced  earlier today here in england
147
1642880
4080
27:30

partapp hello partapp youtube has taken away  the captions yes they have i don't know why  
170
1838160
8080
30:47
it's a very strange situation i don't know  why youtube is making so many negative changes  
171
1847600
5680
30:53
but unfortunately i can't get my live  captions on to my live stream anymore  
172
1853280
7360
31:00
i could before but unfortunately i  can't anymore and i have no idea why  
173
1860640
7680
31:09
even though on my on my actual video here that  i'm watching it does say that the captions are on  
174
1869600
8240
31:18
unfortunately there are no captions appearing  on the live stream i have no idea why  
175
1878560
6320
31:25
but don't worry there is good news because  later on you can watch this all over again  
176
1885520
6320
31:32
and there will be captions later on there will  be captions later on so don't worry about that

9040
32:04
you are very charismatic with  your beard thank you very much  
180
1924480
6400
32:10
but the important thing of course is how you feel  about it if you are happy just continue to grow it
181
1930880
5760
32:23
that sound behind me is actually the wind  
182
1943760
2560
32:27
blowing through the trees at the top of  the hill so behind me there is a huge hill  
183
1947040
5520
32:34
and at the top of the hill there are lots of  trees so that sound you can hear behind me that  
184
1954160
7680
32:43
noise is the wind as i mentioned earlier we had  a lot of strong wind today hello vitas by the  
185
1963280
10320
32:53
way hair loss and active growth of facial hair  are indicators of high levels of testosterone
186
1973600
8560
33:04
i remember growing up men who were losing  their hair on their heads would say that  
187
1984560
6800
33:12
they are more macho or masculine because they are  losing their hair i don't know how true that is  
188
1992160
7920
33:20
as you know i am also losing my hair on my head  however i have my lovely beard to make up for it
189
2000080
9840
33:32
harley quang says i like raining i like it  
190
2012640
3840
33:36
when it rains i don't mind the rain as long as  i'm inside you see i like to be in the house  
191
2016480
6160
33:43
so if it is raining i prefer to be in the house  to be honest with you everything is blowing around
192
2023520
8320
33:54
i have a horrible feeling that there is another  storm coming i wouldn't be surprised if there is  
193
2034000
6160
34:00
another storm coming towards us daisy cow please  mr duncan check if you don't trust me well i do  
194
2040160
9840
34:10
believe you i do believe you but don't forget  youtube have made many changes over the past few
195
2050000
6800
34:16
weeks
196
2056800
3040
34:24
i'm feeling a little scared  at the moment because the wind
197
2064640
3280
34:30
the wind is starting to build up  the wind is starting to get stronger
198
2070880
4640
34:38
you can use almond oil on your hair and  then it won't fall out can i just say  
199
2078720
6880
34:45
over the years there have been  many remedies or many things  
200
2085600
6560
34:52
that have been created or produced that are  supposed to get rid of baldness or prevent your  
201
2092880
7040
34:59
hair from falling out can i just say i don't think  any of them really work because if they did work  
202
2099920
6240
35:07
there would be no bald men in the  world so i don't think so mr duncan  
203
2107920
6640
35:14
the wind sound behind you sounds like  the rain it is definitely not rain
204
2114560
6080
35:24
the sound you can hear behind  me is actually the wind
205
2124880
6560
35:34
it is a very windy day here in england
206
2134080
2640
35:39
hello to oh we have roxy hello roxy nice to see  you here on the live chat you might notice there  
207
2139040
10800
35:49
are some birds behind me in fact at the moment  can you see just behind me there is a pigeon  
208
2149840
6400
35:56
sitting on the fence just  behind me waiting to be fed
209
2156960
5200
36:07
i'm beginning to think that maybe coming out here  today was a bad idea i didn't realize that the  
210
2167200
6080
36:13
wind was going to be so strong today if i was  honest with you so i'm really taking a big risk  
211
2173280
6720
36:20
here today can you believe i am taking  a very big risk coming out here today  
212
2180000
5840
36:27
semi mr duncan do you have a fireplace in your  house on the rainy days you could sit there and  
213
2187280
7520
36:34
feel very cozy yes we do we have a little log  fire in the house and during the winter months  
214
2194800
9040
36:43
we light it and it keeps the house nice and warm  also we have heating in the house as well so  
215
2203840
7840
36:51
throughout the house we also have lots of  heating as well trust me it can get very cold  
216
2211680
7680
36:59
here in england sometimes especially if  you live very high up like me so so my  
217
2219920
6320
37:06
house is actually very high up and because  of that you often get very extreme weather
218
2226240
6480
37:16
hurricanes and cyclones they can be similar they  can also be very different hurricanes are just  
219
2236000
7280
37:23
very strong winds very strong storms however a  cyclone will often swirl it will go round and  
220
2243280
10080
37:33
round but to be honest with you they might  seem they might appear very similar one of  
221
2253360
7280
37:40
the big differences of course is in the north of  the well if you live in the northern hemisphere
222
2260640
9200
37:52
i am so distracted by this gazebo because i  think it's going to blow away at any moment
223
2272800
5440
38:00
you might actually see something very dramatic  today you might see me blow away in the wind
224
2280640
6400
38:09
so one of the main differences in the northern  hemisphere the the cyclone goes anti-clockwise  
225
2289520
7360
38:16
and in the southern hemisphere it goes  clockwise the direction in which it moves  
226
2296880
5440
38:23
it goes round and round
227
2303520
1680
38:29
mr duncan could you please show us your bird  
228
2309360
3120
38:33
close up oh yes it's still there i  can't believe the pigeon is still there  
229
2313680
6160
38:41
i will try to show it but i don't think  it will come out very well unfortunately
230
2321600
4240
38:48
mr duncan do you only speak one language  i used to speak french very well  
231
2328320
4320
38:53
when i was at school i don't know why and also i  was quite good well when i say good i mean i was  
232
2333440
8960
39:02
able to speak some of the language chinese you  see i used to use chinese when i lived in china  
233
2342400
6480
39:09
so when i was living in china  i had to learn survival chinese  
234
2349760
5040
39:16
oh palmyra says today i received my vaccine  for flu yes at this time of year including here  
235
2356480
12000
39:28
in england and across the uk in fact around the  world many people are receiving their flu vaccines  
236
2368480
8800
39:37
at the moment as winter approaches and of  course we often find that many people get  
237
2377280
7840
39:45
flu and colds fever all sorts of things at  this time of year so many people are now taking  
238
2385120
7600
39:52
their flu vaccines they are receiving their flu  vaccines to help them through the winter months
239
2392720
9920
40:06
spanish is similar to english i don't  think so there might be a lot of words  
240
2406080
8080
40:14
that originated in spanish that have been adapted  into english so that might be the reason why  
241
2414160
7680
40:21
in fact that is the reason why you will find  a lot of english words sound like other words  
242
2421840
6560
40:28
from different languages because english  basically borrowed or should i say stole  
243
2428400
9440
40:38
many of the words and adapted them so yes  you might say that english is a combination  
244
2438960
7280
40:46
of many different types of dialect or language  and over the years these things have evolved
245
2446240
7040
40:55
around about a thousand years can you believe it  
246
2455520
2800
40:59
english has been used for around 1 000 years  that's incredible from the very early days to  
247
2459120
10560
41:10
middle english and then modern english  which is what we are speaking now
248
2470240
4240
41:17
hello luis luis mendes  
249
2477360
3360
41:22
yes they are not the same language you can't say  that they are the same language they are similar  
250
2482160
6240
41:28
and one of the things that makes languages  similar especially when we are talking about  
251
2488400
4320
41:32
english is many of the words that have been taken  or adapted from other languages so that's one of  
252
2492720
9120
41:41
the reasons why you will find a lot of french  words have been adapted or used in english
253
2501840
8080
41:55
this continent i suppose you could say that  britain has been invaded many times and each time  
254
2515600
6560
42:02
this country has been invaded or should i say  this island has been invaded things have changed  
255
2522160
8080
42:10
culture you might talk about language behaviour  religion of course so one of the main reasons  
256
2530240
7360
42:17
why this country is a christian country is because  of the people that invaded this country over the  
257
2537600
7920
42:25
years and we are going back a very long time  is your area in lockdown mr duncan yes it is  
258
2545520
10000
42:36
we are currently in lockdown right now in  england so we are into our 13th day of lockdown  
259
2556080
10160
42:46
so many people now are being told that they must  stay at home again this has happened already  
260
2566240
7200
42:54
and now they must do it again so a lot of  people are being told that they have to  
261
2574160
4800
43:00
stay at home including me and mr steve so even  mr steve is now once more working from home  
262
2580560
10080
43:11
we have no choice unfortunately and it looks as  if the lockdown at the moment is going to end on  
263
2591680
8160
43:19
the second of december even though there are some  people who think it might go on much longer than  
264
2599840
6800
43:26
that we will have to wait and see and find out the  romans conquered great britain yes the romans came  
265
2606640
8720
43:35
here that's one of the reasons why we have lots  of lovely roads one of the most famous roman roads  
266
2615360
8160
43:44
is the a5 i know it doesn't sound very poetic  but the a5 is a very long roman road and it goes  
267
2624240
12320
43:56
for many many miles in fact the  a5 is not very far away from here
268
2636560
6240
44:04
it does come past this area where i live
269
2644960
2880
44:10
what are you doing during lockdown mr duncan  what am i doing well i am doing lots of things  
270
2650720
5760
44:16
i am learning some new skills at the moment i am  learning graphic design and also motion graphics  
271
2656480
8560
44:26
which is a very technical subject to be honest  it's a very difficult skill to learn but i  
272
2666400
5040
44:31
am trying my best to learn it so i am spending  a lot of my time in a very useful way i'm not  
273
2671440
8000
44:39
wasting my time during lockdown i am doing  lots of different things including my extra  
274
2679440
6800
44:46
lessons as well so today this is an extra live  stream this is not my normal live stream this is
275
2686240
8880
44:58
my extra live stream now what i'm going to do  
276
2698080
5760
45:05
right now whilst i have a chance because the sun  is now trying to come out yeah the sun is coming  
277
2705200
8160
45:13
out even though there are many grace gray skies  and clouds above me the sun is trying to come out
278
2713360
8560
45:24
is mr steve watching your live  stream or is he making tea  
279
2724560
3760
45:29
steve is having his break at the moment  he's having a short break from his work  
280
2729040
6160
45:37
yes everywhere they went the romans built  roads and they are very long-lasting  
281
2737200
7120
45:44
that is true very true i'm going to put some food  out for the birds so that is one of the things  
282
2744880
7600
45:52
i want to do today during the live stream so if  you don't mind i would like to go just over there
283
2752480
7360
46:02
and i think i'm going to disturb the pigeon so the  pigeon unfortunately will probably fly off when  
284
2762000
6080
46:08
i go over there so i'm going to bring the bird  feeders here and then i'm going to put some seed  
285
2768080
6240
46:15
in to the feeders you see  i have some bird seed here  
286
2775280
7600
46:23
so these are actually sunflower flower  hearts they are called sunflower hearts
287
2783680
6720
46:34
and now all my paper is blowing away  
288
2794560
7280
46:43
by the way if you are thinking of doing a live  stream outside make sure the wind isn't blowing
289
2803600
12240
46:59
sorry mr pigeon i'm going to  disturb you oh oh it's gone already
290
2819760
10080
47:46

291
2866560
5280
47:54
oh come on
292
2874720
11120
48:19
finally so here is one of my bird feeders  i'm going to put some seed in there and then
293
2899360
8320
48:30
i will try my best to hang it on the tree  without being blown away so here we go
294
2910400
6240
48:45

3067600
1200
51:14

312
3074560
880
51:18
that is one of my bird feeders  that i've now filled with bird seed
313
3078080
5680
51:27
and i'm pretty sure that the birds are going  to be very pleased to see this i think so  
314
3087760
9280
51:37
so i'm going to hang this up excuse me a  moment i will be back in a moment don't go away
315
3097040
12800
52:05
is i still can't believe mr steve did  that he almost gave me a heart attack then  
316
3125760
18480
52:25
how could you how could you do that to me mr steve
317
3145360
3120
52:31
i was very frightened very frightened
318
3151280
3920
52:35
indeed
319
3155200
10640
52:54
if you just joined me hello welcome to my  live stream something a little different today
320
3174480
5840
53:04
i am hanging out with the birds and if there's  one other thing one thing that the birds love
321
3184240
6320
53:12
it's eating food
322
3192880
960
53:44
yeah how does that look does  that look okay i think so  
323
3224960
3200
53:48
oh okay that looks alright i think it looks okay
324
3228160
7680
54:06
so the seeds that i just put out are  called sunflower hearts there we go  
325
3246320
5840
54:12
for those who are wondering sunflower  hearts they are basically the insides of
326
3252880
8160
54:21
sunflowers and the birds love  them very much they really do
327
3261040
7680
54:37
i have some lovely things here i  wanted to show you but unfortunately  
328
3277360
3680
54:41
they're now all wet they're soaking wet
329
3281600
2880
54:44
unfortunately
330
3284480
7360
54:55
here is something else that  i often give to the birds  
331
3295360
2640
54:59
there you go can you see those they are suet balls  or suet nuggets there we go so that is the brand
332
3299760
9120
55:12
and they are made of suet of course  birds love eating fat they love suet  
333
3312160
6160
55:19
they love things that have plenty of  
334
3319200
3200
55:22
energy because birds use a lot of energy when  they are flying around they use a lot of energy
335
3322400
11440
55:43
my heart is still racing away still racing away  because of those birds and mr steve jumping out
336
3343040
8480
55:53
there are lots of strange creatures  in my garden and one of them  
337
3353840
3200
55:57
sometimes is mr steve when he's creeping about
338
3357760
4080
56:03
so i'm putting some of the suet can you see  it so i'm putting the suet into this feeder  
339
3363920
12000
56:15
and then i will hang this on the tree  and hopefully the birds will come down
340
3375920
5120
56:23
although one of the things i've noticed today  
341
3383360
2080
56:26
there aren't many birds around and  that's because of the wind you see  
342
3386880
3840
56:30
so quite often when the wind is bad or maybe the  weather is extreme the birds will stay away sadly  
343
3390720
13120
56:45
this might be one of the hardest live  streams that i've ever done because
344
3405600
4400
56:52
the weather is very extreme  strong winds heavy rain
345
3412960
8000
57:03
it is making my life very difficult today  
346
3423760
3280
57:08
there we go there we are so now we have we  have the suet inside the feeder and the birds  
347
3428480
11760
57:20
absolutely love this food very much  they absolutely go crazy for this food
348
3440240
6880
57:33
i might actually have to stop this  live stream i might actually have to  
349
3453840
4160
57:38
go in back into the house because the  wind is starting to build up once more  
350
3458000
5840
57:45
okay i will put this on the tree i  will hang it over there just a moment
351
3465680
8160
58:59
uh
352
3539760
4080
59:06
sometimes it's very useful being tall  
353
3546480
2320
59:10
so now i have my bird feeders hanging up they  are full of food all we need now are the birds  
354
3550560
7280
59:19
hello live chat nice to see you here even  though no one's really watching unfortunately  
355
3559040
6720
59:26
i might not do this again this might be the  last time i do a live stream in the week  
356
3566560
5520
59:32
because no one is actually watching i know  why because youtube isn't telling anyone  
357
3572080
4560
59:37
i have no idea why i'm starting to think in my  in my brain that maybe youtube doesn't want me  
358
3577280
9200
59:46
to do live streams anymore i think it's  starting to annoy them i don't know why  
359
3586480
4640
59:51
i hope it's not annoying you hello nova  nova crafts hello nova crafts nice to  
360
3591920
7840
59:59
see you here today i am outside in the garden  on a very unsettled day the weather is awful  
361
3599760
8960
60:10
i feel as if i'm taking a very big risk coming  out here today doing this feeding the birds  
362
3610720
6880
60:17
takes you a lot of time mr duncan yes it does  i spend a lot of my time feeding the birds  
363
3617600
5440
60:24
one of the reasons why i do it of course  is because well first of all the birds  
364
3624000
4240
60:29
need to survive but also i like looking out of my  window in the morning and all of the birds will  
365
3629280
5760
60:35
come down and they will feed and they will sing so  there is always something nice to see outside my  
366
3635040
7120
60:42
studio window so that's one of the things i really  like doing alessandra says naughty youtube yes  
367
3642160
9200
60:52
you see one of the things that  i've learned over the years  
368
3652080
2960
60:55
one of the one of the things you learn  when you are doing something for many years  
369
3655680
4400
61:01
is when things are not right so  you know when things are right  
370
3661680
4080
61:06
and you know when something isn't right and at the  moment i get the feeling that my youtube channel  
371
3666880
6960
61:13
is slowly being deleted by youtube it would appear  that i'm being buried buried alive on youtube  
372
3673840
10480
61:25
i don't know why but i'm getting a very  strange feeling that youtube want me to go away  
373
3685120
5840
61:32
why i have no idea thank you abdul you  are very kind and you show a lot of mercy  
374
3692400
8720
61:41
oh that's a nice word i like that word by  the way the word mercy show mercy you show  
375
3701120
7200
61:48
kindness or maybe also forgiveness i suppose a  lot of people think that mercy is forgiveness  
376
3708320
7680
61:56
you show mercy to someone you show kindness  you show warm-heartedness to someone
377
3716560
9280
62:13
it is so windy today
378
3733600
1440
62:17
my little gazebo is blowing all over  the place i wish you could see it
379
3737600
5360
62:26
it's slightly disturbing to say the least anna  says i am not annoyed by your live streams i  
380
3746160
7440
62:33
hope not i know i'm not sexy and i know i know  maybe to some people i'm not cool because i'm  
381
3753600
8160
62:41
not american you see i'm british i'm an english  man i'm not american i'm not sexy i'm not young  
382
3761760
6640
62:49
so there are many things that i don't have going  for me i also don't don't play computer games  
383
3769280
6960
62:56
you see so if i was playing my computer  game now if i was showing you my screen  
384
3776240
5600
63:03
whilst playing computer games i would  probably have about twenty thousand viewers  
385
3783040
4240
63:07
but because i'm actually doing  something useful and creative
386
3787920
3680
63:14
because i'm doing something  useful and creative then
387
3794800
3360
63:21
maybe it's not interesting you see maybe people  don't find it interesting so if you don't find  
388
3801760
5120
63:26
it interesting maybe youtube doesn't find  it interesting maybe that's the reason why
389
3806880
6320
63:40
no youtube doesn't think like that you will  be surprised actually so as i've already said  
390
3820800
6800
63:47
because i have a lot of experience of dealing  with youtube and i used to deal directly many  
391
3827600
6080
63:53
years ago i used to talk to people from  youtube on the phone they would call me  
392
3833680
4880
63:59
they would actually call me on  the telephone and we would chat  
393
3839520
3360
64:02
about things in fact a couple of years ago  i used to have a lot of contact with youtube  
394
3842880
5120
64:08
directly so they know all about me they  know i exist i'm not a secret to them
395
3848000
5920
64:16
sandra says for youtube i watch twice and the  same time is normally your live stream because  
396
3856000
6080
64:22
i need to understand the same words however  i see you twice i watch you two times well  
397
3862080
8320
64:30
that's nice i'm glad to hear that my lessons are  useful i know my live streams are very different  
398
3870400
7040
64:37
my live streams are not the same as my  recorded lessons they are quite different
399
3877440
5040
64:45
i can really hear the sound of the  wrestling leaves russell the rustling leaves  
400
3885760
7920
64:53
the sound of not only the leaves but also  the trees swaying in the wind you are right
401
3893680
8800
65:05
mr duncan you are still my favourite  english teacher even though you are not cool  
402
3905840
4240
65:11
or sexy or young or american or a  sexy lady i can't help but i'm afraid  
403
3911600
9120
65:20
i'm very sorry about that maybe i should have a  sex change maybe i should become a beautiful lady  
404
3920720
6560
65:27
and then maybe i will get more viewers who knows  you mohsin thank you very much wiglaf hello wiglaf  
405
3927280
12480
65:41
i think england is a better country to live in  than the usa well i suppose it depends where  
406
3941200
6080
65:47
you go just like any country there might  be places that are nice to live and maybe  
407
3947280
6880
65:54
there are places that are not so nice to live  in so yes i suppose parts of england are nice  
408
3954160
7360
66:01
i like living here you see in the countryside but  some people hate it they would hate to live here  
409
3961520
7520
66:09
in the countryside because they would find it  so boring so some people would not want to live  
410
3969040
6320
66:16
in the countryside they would find  it too dull and boring however  
411
3976000
5360
66:22
i love living in the countryside i think  it's one of the most amazing things one of my  
412
3982240
6080
66:29
one of my best decisions in my life was  to move here to the countryside so i'm  
413
3989440
8320
66:37
not a very big fan of cities noise traffic  pollution i don't like any of those things
414
3997760
8480
66:48
fly away is going to fly away now see you  later fly away take care of yourself won't you  
415
4008960
7680
66:58

417
4029600
8320
67:17
russia you are a very handsome teacher my dear i'm  not looking for compliments i'm not saying these  
418
4037920
8160
67:26
things because i want you to give me compliments  that's not the reason why i'm doing it but i am  
419
4046080
5120
67:31
aware that certain things here on youtube are  more popular because they are more interesting  
420
4051200
9520
67:40
or exciting or attractive so i do  realize that i am very aware of it
421
4060720
7040
67:50
anna says i love spontaneous speech it is more  vivid and involving yes well one of the things i  
422
4070720
7680
67:58
love about doing my live streams is the fact that  this is spontaneous it is something that happens  
423
4078400
6320
68:05
without any preparation so as i stand  here in front of you in my garden  
424
4085520
5120
68:11
with the wind blowing all around  me and my poor my poor gazebo
425
4091760
6560
68:21
my my little gazebo is blowing everywhere so  whilst i'm doing these things i'm actually  
426
4101280
6640
68:28
talking spontaneously none  of this has been planned  
427
4108640
3520
68:32
so everything i'm saying at the moment has  not been rehearsed all planned oh my goodness
428
4112800
8720
68:50
wow the wind is getting very strong now
429
4130960
3760
69:00
i think there's a there's a storm coming i think  there might be a storm on the way i think so
430
4140560
5280
69:08
oh my goodness
431
4148320
880
69:12
i think i might have to stop this  
432
4152640
7200
69:21
i wish i could show you my gazebo at the moment  it's blowing everywhere let me just move my camera
433
4161600
12240
69:44
oh my goodness
434
4184240
3600
69:53
the wind is very strong at the moment oh  no mr duncan we want you to continue i'm  
435
4193280
6720
70:00
not sure if i can if i do continue  you might see my gazebo blow away  
436
4200000
6720
70:07
and maybe maybe you will see see me fly  away as well oh my goodness this is terrible
437
4207360
8480
70:19
it doesn't look very windy behind me  but above my head it really is windy
438
4219680
6640
70:28
it's quite dramatic actually i wish i could  show you let me try and show you the wind
439
4228960
6320
70:39
ah there we go can you see now behind me  you see the trees are blowing quite a lot
440
4239920
6160
70:50
my gazebo is definitely blowing around
441
4250160
7680
71:05
oh my goodness
442
4265280
880
71:09
okay i think i'm going to go in a moment
443
4269440
2400
71:14
it's too dangerous
444
4274480
1120
71:22
it can't blow away if you hold it well yes that's  the reason why i'm holding it so it doesn't blow  
445
4282160
5680
71:27
away mr duncan please go inside please be safe mr  duncan i think i'm going to go back into the house  
446
4287840
14400
71:43
because it's it's a little bit too dangerous  out here today the wind is too strong it  
447
4303520
6640
71:50
really is blowing quite a lot mr duncan  don't fly away you don't have any wings  
448
4310160
7840
71:58
no i don't that is true unlike the birds see  the birds are very lucky because they can  
449
4318880
5600
72:04
just fly around they don't have to worry about  such things i do you see i'm not i'm not used  
450
4324480
7760
72:13
to flying around don't worry i will  be back with you by the way on sunday  
451
4333600
5520
72:19
everything will be back to normal on sunday  i will be in the studio on sunday from 2pm uk  
452
4339120
5920
72:25
time i will be back in the studio  please go back into the house mr duncan
453
4345040
6880
72:34
are there bird houses behind you behind  me they they are bird feeders so they  
454
4354240
6400
72:40
are actually things for giving food to the  birds so that's what i'm actually doing there  
455
4360640
6000
72:46
so they are hanging from the tree and then the  birds will come down and they will eat the food  
456
4366640
6640
72:54
but not today because it's too windy the birds  don't feel like coming out today i wonder why
457
4374400
9440
73:09
okay i think i'm going to end this live stream i  think i'm going to end this live chat because my  
458
4389600
11280
73:22
my gazebo is going to blow away
459
4402560
1840
73:29
apparently it looks like you have a nice garden  according to what i can see yes there are many  
460
4409840
6160
73:36
different views in my garden behind me in fact  well in front of me so the the direction that  
461
4416000
6880
73:42
i'm looking in there is a huge landscape in front  of me with all of the hills and the fields and the  
462
4422880
8800
73:51
trees so everything in front of me is a huge  landscape that goes off way into the distance  
463
4431680
8560
74:00
and behind me there is actually a hill so  behind me all of the land goes up much higher up  
464
4440240
6720
74:08
thank you very much for your  effort thank you very much  
465
4448560
3600
74:12
for your company i can't believe i've been here  for one hour and 20 minutes so yes i'm going to go  
466
4452160
6880
74:19
in a moment i hope you've enjoyed this something  a little different something a little dangerous
467
4459040
5280
74:26
mr duncan it is better to go into the house if the  wind is blowing strong but please be safe i will
468
4466560
8400
74:38
sandra gonzalez says i like your live stream thank  you very much i hope this has been interesting
