it's so sad to lose Professor Steven Hawkings yes it's very very sad news

this morning I woke up to as many people did to the very sad news that professor

Stephen Hawking died in the early hours of this morning and many people were

offering their tributes I suppose not everyone not everyone will be familiar

with his work but he he was a guy who studied the cosmos he asked all of the

big questions he was never afraid to put his opinion across he was

intrigued by the universe he was equally intrigued by how we got here where it

all came from so he was a guy who liked to look at the beginnings of not only

mankind but also the universe itself so yes very sad news this morning professor

Stephen Hawking's there we go I will put his name up just to allow me to make my

little tribute so yes very sad news a guy who studied black holes for many

years and also talked about the way in which the universe is changing and why

it is changing and as I mentioned just the biggest question of all where did it

all come from

there are Thunderbolts and lightning at the moment in Buenos Aires Wow Belarus

yeah it sounds like you are having some very dramatic weather there at the

moment I'm being distracted tonight because there are some lady birds flying

around my studio so if I seem a little distracted now and again it's because

there are lots of tiny lady birds I don't know where they've come from but

they're everywhere the house is full of lady Birds mr. Duncan how are you

Sakura Dean I am okay thank you very much not too bad

yesterday I had such a lovely time it was so nice yesterday I was able to sit

outside and eat some food now that is always a good sign

so when you can actually go outside and eat food in the garden you know that the

weather is getting better how is it going

Gabrielle it is going not too bad thank you very much AB heithir AB heathyr akka

lanko says how are you what's up mr. Duncan what's up nothing I feel great

funeral well not just yet I'm not planning on going anywhere just yet

Thank You Swan for that hi mr. Duncan how are you emoji F I'm

okay thank you very much and here we go again it's another live stream and it is

late and live some people have asked mr. Duncan why do you do this late and live

stream the reason why I do it is to allow other people in other parts of the

world in different time zones to have a chance to join in with my live streams

so that's the reason why this particular live stream is late as you can see it is

just coming up to ten minutes past 10:00 at night all of my neighbors are now

asleep in their beds but here I am standing here in my studio talking to

the world on YouTube hello from ancora tgn hello tgn thank you very much and

hello mr. Duncan I'm watching you from Barcelona you are a great teacher it's

always nice to see you and mr. Steve yes mr. Steve he will be live tonight at the

hi mr. Duncan from humble hello humble I've never seen you here before is it

your first time on the live chat if it is say hello Larry

mr. Duncan what is your preference Chelsea or Arsenal can I just say

neither neither I don't follow football to be honest we

don't know the time of our funeral and everything oh yes okay then thank you

Mohammed for that read read my message mr. Duncan Horatio

please read my message Horatio I am reading your message right now

Zef says yes I am very sad for Stephen Hawking he was a very good example of

how to live your life and we should be happy for his legacy yes he allowed us

all to open more our minds to open our minds and explore the universe we are so

small have you noticed that have you ever seen a photograph of the Earth

taken from another planet and the earth is so tiny it's it's just like a little

tiny speck of dust and we are all living on that tiny speck of dust we are so

tiny we are so small I am NOT a stranger I am in Korea and it is after seven

o'clock in the morning thank you humble thank you very much and a big hello to

Korea not many people talking about career at

the moment because most people are talking about Russia for various reasons

it seems as if we've all forgotten about North Korea most people at the moment

are talking about Russia hello mr. Duncan I'm always here I like

to hear you Stefan oh hello Stefan oh I haven't seen

you for a while Spring has definitely come says Mika odd because the Japanese

apricot blossoms are now in full bloom and of course you have the Cherry

Blossom Festival in Japan I have one just one cherry blossom tree in my

garden and every year I get very excited when the cherry blossoms come out but

the problem is they only last for a very short time so as soon as the weather

changes if it gets cold suddenly or if the temperature drops suddenly all of

the lovely cherry blossom falls off so yes I love the cherry blossom as well I

love it when it all comes out it looks amazing but sadly my garden doesn't look

quite as impressive as the cherry blossom injured

I know it's a very good it's a very big time of the year

nice to see you mr. Duncan squeeee Internet hello hello squinter net I love

your name by the way hello mr. Duncan it's me Peter from

Brazil the police one hello Shira Blade and hello to Peter to give you your

proper name mr. Duncan hello from London ello ello

it's mr. Duncan yeah he's in land hello mr. Duncan from London I just

wonder why you are not talking about my favorite program Come Dine With Me Julia

do you watch that I used to watch it many years ago I used to watch Come Dine

With Me it's a kind of competition where people make meals for each other and

then they all have to give each other points on how good the meal was so yes I

used to watch it but I don't watch it anymore

I don't really watch much television these days to be honest because I spend

most of my time here on YouTube I don't have much time really to watch TV

Daniella hello I've never been on this channel where do you live mr. Duncan

hello Daniela Daniela media I live in a lovely little place called Much Wenlock

which is in England and that is where I am broadcasting live to you now I'm

broadcasting to you live from England I will do my best to talk about William

Shakespeare I mean I will unleash my skills Thank You Mohammed for that yes

here in the UK it is Shakespeare week every year all of the schools around the

UK they have a special week where they talk about William Shakespeare they go

around to different schools lots of experts about the works of William

Shakespeare they visit schools and give talks to the students

and of course they encouraged the students the young students to read

Shakespeare and it is hard to appreciate just how much influence William

Shakespeare has had on the English language really even to this very day

six hundred years ago William Shakespeare was writing his plays and

his sonnets and six hundred years ago to this very day William Shakespeare has

shaped the way in which English is used so here in the UK at the moment it is

Shakespeare week and I thought later on after mr. Steve arrives I thought we

would have a look at some words some phrases that were created by William

Shakespeare and they are used in English right now mr. Duncan I am from Turkey

and I love you so much Burke ods oh can I hope I pronounced

your name right Berg aza can and a big hello to you in Turkey I have been to

Turkey I have visited Turkey twice I even made a video lesson I actually

recorded a lesson in Turkey in a very beautiful place called Fethiye and also

another place called Chevalier two very beautiful places in Turkey hello mr.

Duncan I'm Gabriel from Sudan can you teach us the grammar and exercises

because your accent is very clear well I talk about grammar sometimes I also give

you examples of sentences and how to use certain words so can I just say that you

are in the right place with my lessons and my live English streams you will

have a chance to listen to English being spoken mr. Duncan what is your real name

my real name is Duncan that is actually my name so my first name

is Duncan when I was living in China working in China everyone would call me

mr. Duncan and that name has kind of stuck so that's the reason why I used

the name mr. Duncan because it sounds quite good really I quite like it anyway

we watched it and liked so much TGN I ran oh yes tgn now this is something I'm

going to mention on Sunday I don't want to talk about it too much now because I

don't have all the information here but TGN is going to take her students on a

trip on a special trip and it's all because of my English lesson that I

record it in Turkey so yes thank you very much for that yes to Shakespeare

says Jamelia yes it's hard to it's hard to appreciate just how much influence

William Shakespeare had on the English language to this very day

for example I will give you a quick example knock knock who's there now that

is a type of joke that many people normally use or say they make a joke and

they say knock knock who's there and normally they will make a joke which is

kind of a play on words so yeah Shakespeare came up with that it

was actually coined by William Shakespeare the cherry blossom will be

in full bloom in two weeks I can't wait me neither

I love the cherry blossom sadly I can only look at the beautiful photographs

taken in Japan of the the wonderful cherry blossom hi Oh a big hi and a big

hand oh thank you very much for that Fernando is here Thank You Fernando for

joining me it's Leighton live it's 20 past 10:00

and I think mr. Eve has just arrived I think he's just

parking his car outside the house so I think mr. Steve has arrived

Shakespeare is not easy to read for all those learning the English language like

me well a lot of Shakespeare's work is in what you might call middle English

although Shakespeare was responsible for modernizing certain parts of the English

language so even though a lot of his writing sounds very strange even to me

there is a lot in his work that we use nowadays for example in a pickle in a

pickle it's an expression we use in English but it was created by William

Shakespeare many years ago I read some sort of Shakespeare book but at that

time it was hard to understand and look that I read it and translated it to

Portuguese I I translated it to the Portuguese language Danielle thank you

very much Danielle med Rios when I was working in China I was very lucky to

find a book for sale that had all of Shakespeare's work translated into

Chinese can you believe that and apparently when you translate

Shakespeare into Chinese a lot of it makes no sense whatsoever because of the

differences between the English language and the Chinese language hello from

Russia mr. Duncan my name is gas on what do you think

about Luxembourg the country I think it's all right yes sounds like a nice

place I've never been there to be honest mr. Duncan how can I speak English

frequently can you advise me Laree f-- there is something that I always say to

my students whenever they ask me this question I say you can

practice English at anytime anywhere you can practice with yourself you can

listen to your own voice you can record your voice and listen to it or of course

you can create your own group you can find other people maybe on the internet

or maybe in your local area who are interested in practicing their English

so there are three suggestions for you mr. Duncan your accent is very clear

thanks a lot for that yes I do speak clearly because I am an English teacher

so really when you think about it there would be no point

teaching English certainly if you had to listen to my voice there would be no

point if you couldn't understand what I was saying I would be wasting my time

hello mr. Duncan my name is Roberto and I am from Tenerife Tenerife I wish I

wish I was in Tenerife at the moment that sounds very nice can you explain

what does you took it like a duck to water

Thank You moji if you take something like a duck to water

it means you took to it very easily it means you learnt it very quickly you

were able to do it for the first time without much practice so you take to

something like a duck to water and the reason why we say that is because ducks

live on water so and they make it look so easy

they make it look very easy so if you do something for the first time and you do

it very well we can say that you took to it like a duck to water I love that

expression mr. Duncan although I don't often participate in the chat here is a

regular viewer who enjoys all your programs a huge hug to everyone Thank

You Alberto that's very kind there is one thing I am

very aware of and I've been aware of this for a long time since I started

doing the live chats I am very aware that there are many people watching out

there yes I'm all about you many people out there who don't say hello on the

live chat they watch but they never say hello and there are many reasons for

this maybe they are feeling a little shy or maybe they are nervous to type

something in English so that's probably the reason why so can I say hello to all

the shy people all of the people who don't want to say hello on the live chat

maybe tonight maybe tonight could be your night where you say hello on the

live chat come on don't be shy give it a try or else you'll make mr.

Duncan cry mr. Steve has arrived but I can't see him anywhere I don't know

where he's gone maybe he's gone to the toilet I think so

to take to something like a duck to water to discover that when you start to

do something for the first time you have a natural ability Thank You arid ass I

think that's what I said hello mr. Duncan I am here in Brazil italiani

italiani Thole hello to you if you are watching at the moment and you have

never said hello on the live chat go on come on have a go now take your finger

and type say hello mr. Duncan I have never said hello to you before don't be

shy give it a try or else you'll make mr. Duncan and mr. Steve cry you will do

you have any friends from other countries mr. Duncan well I have lots of

frame on Facebook I think I have about 15,000

friends on Facebook and many people write to me via email so yes I have lots

of people who I talk to some people who have become regular correspondence yes

it's true hello I'm a shy person mr. Duncan hello

from the shy person Alex Alex Mikael hello Alex thank you so much for taking

that little step to saying hello on the live chat and it's quite easy really

isn't it Cathy Cathy Orellana says I am a shy girl as well

well Cathy you are not shy anymore because you've said hello on the live

chat mr. Duncan could mr. Steve please make a cup of coffee for us actually

that would be quite nice a cup of coffee at this time of night to keep me awake

so where is mr. Steve I will tell you where mr. Steve is mr. Steve is now

walking through the door of my studio and he's coming over towards me he is

walking towards me right now in a very strange way what are you doing Steve you

weirdo my legs are all stiff mr. Duncan mr. Steve mr. Steve has stiff legs I

don't know what he's been doing why mr. Steve why mr. Steve why are you

all stiff I just I just I don't know why I did that actually I just suddenly you

felt like doing it you know sometimes if you feel like doing something on impulse

that's a great word by the way impulse impulse in else if you do something on

impulse it means you do it without much thought you do it almost like a reaction

almost like a reaction to something you do it without much thought it is just

impulse yes I just did then so mr. Steve didn't

plan to walk in here like this but he did it he did it on impulse indeed we

were talking earlier Steve about Stephen Hawking oh yes

really really sad news now this week we have lost another big celebrity here in

the UK that many people out there probably have never heard of but it's a

person that we grew up with on the television and his name was Ken Dodd and

he was a comedian and he worked in show business for seventy years 70 not 17

can you imagine working in one field in one area and especially a very difficult

area a profession like show business because it's not easy is it

and I think he was just it was so natural to him as a comedian and of

course he was very famous for going on stage doing comedy routines that would

last for hours and hours he had a huge catalogue of jokes and funny stories

that he loved to relay to the audience and famous these shows went on like for

3-4 hours and so longer than that in fact so if he if he did a live

performance in a theatre quite often his shows would go on sometimes four four

five sometimes six hours he would be on the stage performing and he would just

stay there for five or six hours and the audience would would sit there as well

for all of that time and sometimes the shows would go on until maybe one or

sometimes two o'clock in the morning and he had a very good voices rally released

singles and album at one time in 1965 he sold almost almost not quite almost more

songs more records than the Beatles that's

amazing but he did have a very good voice so yes very sad week so what have

you been saying about Stephen Hawking well I was just briefly talking about

his work and and the things that he did and the things he talked about and many

people on here also saying things on the live chat as well so I thought a good

question as well to ask tonight would be science do you think science is a

subject that's that's interesting to everyone well science I love science

that was my favorite subject at school chemistry biology physics the thing with

physics is it you can do biology is probably the easiest subject to take of

the sciences I think physics while physics and

chemistry they're both hard I had to give them up because I'm not very good

at maths you need to be very good maths to be able to do physics I think I think

of all of them I think I think physics is is the one isn't it that is the

really difficult one so I ended up doing biology and ended up working in labs and

things like that because I love doing experiments I used to have my own lab my

own lab at home we've heard this story before

really I'm boring you already am i mr. Duncan no need to shout okay my normal voice yes

I'd rather you didn't do that I read did you read Stephen Hawking's book a famous

book a brief history of time hmm did you ever read it yes and also there was

really there was I'm just trying to get to the end of the sentence he's a brief

history of me getting to the end of a sentence so yes I have heard it and it

was a very interesting TV show as well made based on the book and it was

presented by Stephen Hawking so yes very good a lot of work on black holes

that's it black holes what happens when you go into a black hole if you are

flying through space and you come towards a black hole and you go into it

what happens and there are many theories about what actually happens when you go

into a black hole some people believe that you become nothing that's it

you just vanish that's it gone I think you just said think your molecules get

torn apart and that was what Stephen Hawking thought if I remember rightly

yes but if you see the the famous film science fiction film the black hole you

go straight to and out the other side and into a brand-new universe I don't

think we're going to use I don't think we're going to use Disney science

fiction films Disney science fiction films to base our our studies of black

holes on to be honest that one thing about biology because you mentioned

biology just biology is very easy because you have your own reference you

see you have your body so I always think that biology is quite easy especially

when you're talking about the human body because you have one so all of the bits

all of the parts human biology maybe yeah human biology so that that would be

very easy I think that would be the one to do that's definitely the one to do

because you have your own reference book here and that's you so you can look at

your hand you can look at all of the skin eat more to it than that mr. Duncan

yes well not much naming the parts okay they know okay then where the malleus

incus and stapes are part of your ears your ears yes the malleus incus and

stapes are the bones in your ears so yes I was very interested in human biology

and human anatomy at school so I I was really fascinated by it he's told me all

sorts of stories about when he was at school he used it he so well so when

you've got a teacher at school he's laughing cuz you know I'm gonna say I

know what you're going to say most people want to leave their teachers I

may be taking them a little gift a present maybe some chocolates something

like that what did mr. Duncan take to his biology teacher as a present the

eyes from what was it were they were they pigs eyes or cows eyes no you are wrong

they were sheep eyes that's no no the cow part was the brain

so I took a cow I took a cow's brain to the classroom I took as you do

I took some sheeps eyes to the classroom and also some lungs as well I can't

remember where the lungs came from but I took them to school all in a plastic bag

and I took them to school and gave them to my biology teacher and he thought I

was crazy and I think a lot of people would where did you get these from did

you go into a field and kill these animals and rip out the organ are you

trying to shout to the neighbors or something no just talking normally do

you go did you get them from a butcher's I can tell you've been on the stage

tonight he's been doing some performing tonight because he's projecting too much

I did I did get them from the butchers there was a lovely guy called Peter

Bevan who lived very very close to where we lived and here in ER II did run a

butcher shop a butchery and I used to go in there and ask him if he had any of

the awful awful awful awful so awful is generally it's the stuff that they throw

away the things that they don't want like the organs the eyes and the lungs

and the stomach and the the intestines so all of that stuff so yes my making

that noise before are you sure about that is that the noise it makes when

it's falling out just slit your open we didn't make that noise as it came out a

strange thing to say mr. Steve is live tonight now we didn't have mr. Steve

last Sunday because what were you doing last Sunday well it was Mothering Sunday

or Mother's Day and I went to see my mother which was very nice and my sister

was there as well and her husband because my sister is also a mother

as children so we were celebrating Mother's Day for my mother and my sister

who's also mother which is a bit strange but true and yes we had a we went for a

pizza which was wouldn't really the sort of Mother's Day meal you would normally

go with it's not it's not a meal that you should ever have with anyone if it's

a special occasion it's like technically if you take someone out for a romantic

meal never take them for pizza it's not a good first impression right you you

have to you have to take them to a place that's a little bit more sophisticated

don't take them to McDonald's No well that's even worse our other franchises

of course name another one I can't think of another one Burger King

it has burger in the name so what are the burger outlets are there Oh Burger

King I might do something spontaneous in him he got really angry last week with

me because he said I was bullying him last week unless when I stood in here

you were bullying me mister you thought I was in a bad mood because he couldn't

get his live stream to work yes that was him you need to get out on me

that was stupid YouTube over the thing about you know when do you say good

morning to somebody at midnight or do you say it when the sun's coming let's not go

there again you're still speaking English there yes

let's have a debate anyway we won't go into that best not

watch last Wednesday stream well you almost are going on his long good last

week talking about it let's not mention that again because this here let's not

mention that here is something I want to show everyone before we carry on tonight

by the way we are going to talk about William Shakespeare because it shakes be

a week here in the UK many schools are having special celebrations and it is a

way of getting the youngsters the young kids to to read a bit of Shakespeare and

let's not forget that Shakespeare helped to coin many many phrases that we use

now in English so we'll be taking a look at those in a little bit here is

something that was sent to me by Belarus yeah and it's the thing

that we talked about on the donation the thing that we talked about on Sunday and

someone mentioned the hornero hornero which is a type of bird so the hornero

is a type of bird and there it is on the argentinian note so it's actually on the

new I think it's is it one thousand I think it's one thousand pesos and it's

on the new note and there it is a beautiful bird now I wasn't sure what it

was but there it is there is a lovely picture of the actual note this isn't a

real argentinian note I don't think I can take this too I don't think I can

take this to Argentina and spend it what's that worth a thousand Argentinean

peso Souls I wonder what yes I wonder what it is

the exchange rate is I think Mill means a thousand so I guess Mille peso means

one thousand it's a bit like millennium I suppose one hundred thousand sorry we

don't know what you mean why did you say that was a thousand we talked about

millennium it's a thousand thousand years so it's probably the same thing

you see that's what is a thousand on it so we're guessing it's a thousand but it

is a thousand but what's it worth what's the exchange rate into English money or

maybe dollars I don't know I I would imagine it isn't it isn't a lot

justjust Oh Steve's very interested now in the live chat he's all over the place

I'm just sorry flashing up you see he's all over the place like a madwoman

Snickers here we go would you like to hold that I wear like

ok hold it okay I'd rather you didn't so there it is thanks a lot and

also it was sooo cat he's already messed it up I nearly signed out he's already

messed it up with his big banana fingers the moment he gets hold of technology he

start mashing the keys with his big hands aradas ask my mother hasn't got an

iPhone so she can barely cope with a normal phone so there's no way

we're gonna give her an iPhone yes Steve's mum doesn't have an iPhone

my mum does though my mum has an iPad and she uses it all the time so my mum

who is now in her mid that's actually late

I said mid but late seventies and she has a an iPad somebody here whose name I

can't pronounce says have you ever tried to learn a foreign language such as

French German and Spanish well we we always in England we will learn French

at school you have to visit nearest country to us and of course now Chinese

is being taught in many schools and I suppose that comes as no surprise I want

to learn Spanish okay because the next musical extravaganza that I mean yeah is

called San Marino San Marino San Marino San Marino and I've got to speak in a

broke in Spanish English accent without them

no I've got to speak I've got to speak as though I was sort of is that Italian

Spanish or or sort of a Latin American sort of accent but obviously in English

so I want to learn how a Spanish person would speak English I've got to listen

to that to learn the accent you mean the Spanish accent then well

now how a Spanish person or somebody from from Latin America Argentina yes

I'm gonna would speak English okay in with the accent oh I see so yes so so

the Spanish accent but but speaking English yes we could have got that out

the way quite quickly oh here we go a thousand pesos according to Swan is

worth 43 euros thank you for that conversion okay we're not much clearer

43 year of euros euros euros what's an ero is this an ero is this a

new form of currency now when we leave brick when we bricks it when we leave

Europe will will be using eros I'm going to have to cut your ear

I'm going to be going on YouTube I've already started so that I can listen to

Spanish people or South American people speaking English so that I can get the

the accent yes so that I can I can I can perform it in that way as though I was

this cat because I'm supposed to be like a I care about sort of Caribbean Spanish

pilot pirate pilot ladies and gentlemen we are now approaching Sao Paulo

yes so it's like a Colombian something like a Colombian South American they

speak Spanish so they're going all over the place well I think it's supposed to

be a Caribbean island that is sort of Spanish in origin so I'm thinking maybe

Colombian so I'm looking for somebody who can speak Spanish in in Latin

American Spanish English accent there we go I know what you need to do Steve you

need to listen to to all of the all of the movies starring Ricardo Montalban

yes well I suggested that to you earlier today Ricardo Montalban was a great

actor he was in many movies including Star Trek the Wrath of Khan

he was Mexican

he was Mexican but that thing that's probably close enough and he's got quite

he's got quite a yeah what you would call quite a sexy accent

so I think that would be quite good from the point of view of of performing that

kind of a character you want somebody who's going to attract the ladies so

this is this is Steve's confession tonight that he finds Ricardo Montalban

very sexy no I didn't say that I said he has got a sexy voice but he have doesn't

mean I find it attractive he had I'm just saying because women say

Oh Ricardo Montalban and however you pronounce his name he's got a very sexy

accent so that's what I'm looking for what's what I'm trying to get so if

anyone's got any ideas of who I can listen to

to speak English with a Spanish accent I know you could just do the pirate Steve

does a great pirate voice yeah but it's like a British pirate just do the pirate

I'm not gonna be I can't do that if all else fails do the pirate that's what

Johnny Depp does a Johnny Depp and all of the other ones you know in Pirates of

the Caribbean ahhh ahhhh oh ahhh he just whispers doesn't he just

whispers ahhhh hello my name's Jack Sparrow people used

to say that I was like Jack Sparrow you've got a lesson where you

mimicked that particular actor you just mentioned Jack - though the one that you

just mention I didn't mention me actually did you mentioned his name

what's his name well he's he's an American actor everybody knows is to EV

I don't need to repeat that of course what's his name then well you tell me

you were listening to me surely Jack Sparrow that's his name Oh Jack Sparrow

is the character that of the actor come on it's taken as read I'll give you an

actor I think it's red oh we mentioned that the other day yeah it's something

we don't have to make sure that everybody knows it's obvious I love the

way you reference live chat from two weeks ago

oh I'm sure everybody remembers that yes so we've got some Shakespeare today in

fact gonna be a late night tonight it's a Shakespeare one this Shakespeare week

and also something else we were talking about earlier tonight Steve we were

talking about sandwiches and I was just wondering out there what what is the

best sandwich now you were talking earlier because you would you were

saying that during your lunch break when you are out and about you find that

there are very few sandwiches left now in the supermarket's and and I thought

that maybe it's because a lot of the supermarket's now are getting very

conscious of not wasting food so I think they are producing fewer sandwiches and

that's the reason why they're running out of sandwiches much earlier

in the day yes I think so and also probably because they're not making as

much money as they used to so yes I used to used to be able to go to a

supermarket pick up a sandwich there be loads there but I noticed now if you get

there too late they're all gone that's it

so you're asking people what are their favorite sandwiches or even what are

their worst that's it because you mentioned some really horrible

sandwiches and the ones that are always left and there are two two sandwiches

two particular types of sandwich that are always left behind that no one wants

and that is egg mayonnaise sandwich oh yeah but-but-but yes egg mayonnaise is

okay when it's cold but when it's gone a bit warm oh there's nothing worse than

warm egg mayonnaise it's disgusting and also a tuna and cucumber salmon and cube

or salmon and cucumber than cucumber because the bread goes all soggy

it goes all wet and they're revolting don't even bother anything with fishing

in a sandwich I would think stay away from because if ticket if it's a couple

of you know and I don't like to buy a sandwich where the sell-by date is the

same day mm-hmm because they've usually get you know I go to the back of the

fridge and look for the one that's got the the longest sell by Steve is that

annoying person in the supermarket who always reaches at the back he always

reaches right into the back I do to get the the food that has the longest sell

by date so Steve is the one that keeps doing that it's very annoying to keep in

a sandwich you don't but you don't want one that's going out of date on the day

that you you're there because you think oh that's that's already a couple of

days old the breads gonna be soggy you can't go wrong with cheese and onion

sandwich and a packet of cheese and onion crisp ly love that combination

jordão says can you say hello to my daughter and our Cecilia we love you

both so Anna Cecilia from jordão hello to you and

thanks for joining us tonight hello so yes

I like I do like meat sandwiches I like especially something in a big thick roll

and something that's hot like like like some sort of meat like beef or or sort

of pork in the middle of a big sort of roll and sometimes they put gravy on it

as well and it's oh it's all tender the meat is tender and everything inside is

still hot and you bite into it and all of the gravy goes over your face ah yes

now that I think that might be my most perfect sandwich I accidentally picked

up a sandwich the other day which was one that was made with gluten-free bread

I picked it up by mistake because it wasn't very well labeled it was a

chicken salad sandwich and when I got into the car I noticed it was made with

gluten-free bread for people who can't take the you know the wheat protein hmm

I took two bites and I was nearly sick it was revolting hmm so for people who

suffer with wheat intolerance oh I'm I feel very sorry for you because

gluten-free bread is just revolting I'm sorry so that's that I would not like to

be have a gluten intolerance or a wheat intolerance problem because having to

suffer gluten-free bread must be very difficult because bread is delicious

that's it yes I must admit I wouldn't if I couldn't finish it mr. Duncan well

some things are quite nice though gluten-free there are some biscuits that

I I used to buy and they're quite nice so they're gluten-free but they taste

okay but I think the reason why is because they put a little extra sugar

into the biscuit so the flavour kind of comes from the sugar they add something

just to boost the flavour to get rid of that okay yes where is bread bread is

just lovely and it's very spongy and you know what bread you can't disguise bread

you can't whereas a biscuit you don't make a gluten-free biscuit quite easily

so and you can make I've had gluten-free chocolate bites and things I hadn't

they've been very nice chocolate brown is gluten-free chocolate brownies are

nice but the bread on its own I tell you now I am very very sympathetic towards

people who have gluten intolerance I really really do because you you have to

eat all of that awful terrible food its disgusting

especially the bread and cakes gluten-free cakes they really are

disgusting so what what Steve what's what's happening Steve on Jen Erin says

halloumi cheese oh what's that then yes I've I've had that in a sandwich I have

had it I think it's quite sort of it's a bit like mozzarella I think am i right

is it it's a little bit like rubber it's yes I think it's a it's got a certain

consistency I think I've heard it actually yes I think I've actually had

it on a sandwich it's it's alright it's alright I just put I prefer cheddar

mmm strong cheddar cheese I like the best cheese it has to smell like like

your granddad's feet if it doesn't smell like that then I'm not eating it I love

strong cheese cheese that that literally if you bite into it it makes the inside

of your mouth peel off and your teeth dissolve it's so strong Aurora that's a

nice name Aurora Aurora like the aurora borealis

yes something something wonderful and to look at says oh she's gone now she's in

Brazil you know what I think of Brazil I'd loved some Brazilian food and I want

to know what you're going to be eating or or what you're eating in Brazil it's

8 p.m. you're going to have something to eat because you're hungry what are you

preparing to eat what do you eat in Brazil that's what I want to know what

is Brazilian food I imagine it's it's I would say just now I don't want to seem

ignorant here or although I have a feeling I am going to i think it's very

spicy food I think Brazilian food might be spicy lots of I think meat maybe a

lot of Advocaat those things like that is it like

Caribbean food do you think Brazilian food is very similar that how do you

like Caribbean food I am feeling quite hungry now because of this yes quite

fast a bit of jerk chicken right now German chicken and some rice and peas

which is uh I've got some Caribbean friends and that they make this

delicious rice with well it's it's called rice and peas but it hasn't

actually got peas in your not green peas it's red kidney beans what they call it

rice and peas and they make it with this lovely spicy chicken I absolutely love

that mr. Duncan where's he gone he's gone off the best cheese's are in

Netherland what's that holy cheese they're cheesed full of holes that you

can get in in France quite commonly sold in France I always find that quite

amusing you love a cucumber sandwich do you Mika it's nice if it's freshly made

I agree a cucumber sandwich is very nice freshly made but if it's bought from a

supermarket and it's a couple of days old the the cucumber goes all limp and

horrible I know the feeling and yes you know what a limp cucumber mr. Duncan

definitely there's nothing worse than a limp cucumber yes so so no yes I agree

freshly made cucumber is fine and fish isn't very nice in a in a sandwich

because salmon and and - no quite pungent they've got quite a strong smell

and when they've been lying in a sandwich for two days they get stronger

and stronger and all that all the juices soaked into the bread and the bread all

go soggy I mean any bite into this soggy mess of a sandwich is revolting soggy

sandwiches are definitely off the menu I think it's safe to say now we're

talking about Shakespeare this week because it is Shakespeare week and it's

amazing how many phrases expressions that Shakespeare created or coined

if you coin something it means you create something you create it yourself

you coin something you coin a phrase or you coin an expression and there are

many expressions you can see just down here on the screen you can see a big

list of all of the expressions that Shakespeare created all on his own so

we're going to have a quick look you can see them as well Steve so what we've

already mentioned knock knock who's there and quite often we would use a

very humorous reply that was quite often a play on words so for example you might

say you might pretend you are the dentist and you say knock knock who's

there Phil Phil who Phil Macavity oh you see

fill my cavity so that sounds like a name but also it could refer to a

dentist so there you go also another one in a pickle so yes did

you know that you know that Shakespeare I didn't know that no mr. Jenkin in a

pickle if you are in a pickle you are yo you've gots problems you've got issues

you know you're in a difficult situation you're in a pickle you can't make it

you're very confused confused you are in a dilemma I'm just listening and

considering your voice I'm listening to Steve you're all in a pickle hmm it all

confused and you can't make up your mind you are in a difficult a difficult

situation what situation difficult situation but not not perilous not

perilous not not a very bad it's sort of oh I'm in a bit of a pickle today you

might say dilemma dilemma dilemma okay so another one is oh wait we're talking

about teeth again to set your teeth on edge if something sets your teeth on

edge what does that mean like lemon juice or or something that's very sugary

so if you eat something very sugary or something very cold if you bite into ice

cream your teeth will yes and we say that your teeth are on edge

something will set your teeth on edge Shakespeare came up with that expression

yes well well well well well well well well well I can't wait to see the

subtitles for that well well well well well well well well well well well well

well well well well well you do it thank you do it...well well well well well well

thank you...we haven't got live subtitles yet no we might be getting there but it's a secret

don't read any live chats out we'll just we'll do a couple of more the

Shakespeare thing that's what I meant yes okay then that's not the live chat

that's Shakespeare's work this is the live chat oh it's something that that

applies to us makes your hair stand on end

yes something that makes your hair stand on end

yes something that's very what something that's frightening scary something that

causes you to become very afraid or very nervous something makes your hair stand

on end and that is courtesy of mr. William Shakespeare

well the hairs on the back of your neck stand up that's a similar expression

when you've when you're fearful of something is suddenly get at this

horrible feeling of fear Mildred asks could you tell me what perilous means a

perilous situation if something is perilous it means it is risky it is

dangerous something that might cause you harm or

even death yes yes something that's careless yeah you could be standing on

the edge of a cliff and you might fall over mmm or you could be you could be

walking a tightrope hmm that would be pet I mean you wouldn't do that in your

ordinary life of course I must have it on my date during my daily routine I

never walk along a tightrope don't you

although you can use it yes you can use it as an expression to mean doing

something that is perilous yes so so that itself can be an idiom for doing

something that's dangerous yes so you can say that you're walking along a

tightrope you are doing something that is a little bit risky a little bit they

go either way it could go well or it could go disastrously wrong a bit like

this livestream early I think he's getting all right

okay then hi mr. Duncan mr. Steve I'm so sad for the passing of dr. Stephen

Hawking professor Stephen Hawking one of the brightest minds of this world yes

very sad news really really sad another bright mind that lived he wanted to come

up with the his life that goal was to come up with a theory of everything yes

a theory that would would explain the entire universe that we live in so wily

he hasn't come up with that nobody else has either it's strange isn't it that

one of the biggest questions is actually one of the smallest words in the English

language why? why? that's it that was the question that Stephen Hawking for most

of his life tried to crack he tried to get the answer why why what that's it no

though there isn't a why what why that's it that's the question okay everything

you're not talking about anything in particular why? just why? when you look at

the stars at night you see all of those tiny stars billions billions of miles

away and you are looking at those stars as they looked millions of years ago

so those stars that you see in the sky at night are actually the stars as they

looked millions of years ago that's incredible most of them yes because the

light takes so long to reach yes and so because of that it travels across space

and by the time it gets to earth millions of years have passed that's

incredible a lot of them yes it just blows your mind under an eighty six

thousand miles per second yes speed of a light it's incredible it just it just

blows your mind that is in kilometres so the next time you are in your garden and

you are looking up at night to the night sky and you see all those tiny stars

each one of those stars is a Sun that's incredible so our Sun that gives us all

that lovely light every day so we can sit in our garden and get nice and brown

it's it's that there's millions of them so all of those stars they are all

different types types of things that are millions and millions of miles away and

the light that you see is also millions and millions of years old it is amazing

that they they think that in just in our galaxy alone the Milky Way there's about

200 billion stars or 200 billion suns and there are about two or three hundred

billion galaxies just like there are more there are more Suns in our own

galaxy than there are grains of sand on the entire earth apparently my mind is

blown that is that is quite in fact there is one theory which they now

believe could rather be true that the universe is so big it is in fact

infinite which means it goes on forever and when you have a bit Naggar to

understand it a bit yes we should stop interest oh okay you better be

interested interest is it interesting yes because if the universe is infinite

even if it is not quite infinite but quite close to infinite don't mock me

mr. Duncan it means that anything is possible

hmm which means that we are here doing this live lesson hmm and because

anything is possible in an infinite universe and it means that everything

will happen again so that something else in another part

of the universe millions or billions of light-years away there will be another

earth exactly like this with us doing a livestream I've easily not right at this

moment but have some time in the past or in the history we've done this all

before I think Steve has been watching too many episodes of Star Trek

now it's not the new Star Trek that is that is science if the universe is

infant it means anything is possible and anything will in fact happen anyway I

get the feeling that no one wants to talk about this but they're not they're

talking about sandwiches

whoa in an infinite universe any combination in a sandwich will be

possible can you have can you have shark sandwich yes can I have shark and

lobster sandwich yeah can I have a luncheon and --which yep you have

anything can I have a London bus on a sandwich that I can bite into it and eat

on a London bus can I eat on a London bus whilst eating

a London bus you're just being silly now mister can I actually look at a picture

of a London bus on a London bus whilst eating a London bus well you can't eat a

London yes in another universe got to be possible within the realms of the laws

of physics make your mind up you can't eat a bus make your mind up she's going

back already on this do--if still gonna stay within the laws of physics

there's no way well I think we can save an infinite universe I think we can

safely say that mr. Steve is never going to be the next Stephen Hawking oh I

think I know more about it than you mr. ding so it would appear that people are

more interested in sandwiches than the meaning of the universe to be honest I

don't blame you because I'm quite hungry at the moment well let's face it we

can't do anything about it anyway even if we understand it how the universe

works it's not going to really change our lives because we'll just be going

out to work going to the toilet or eating we got etc so it won't really

change our lives put the brakes on bother coming home

because what he does is abuse know somebody's asking you a question oh okay

I'm sure take a sandwich I'm saying shut up Steve because still wants to ask you

a question I don't know that I can answer it how long does it take light

from the Sun to get to the earth it's right now is it nine minutes or nine

seconds it's one of the two it's somewhere around I think it's not I mean

I think it's about I think it's minutes yes I think it's several minutes nine

minutes I think it is yes oh we are we always

sticking with nine minutes I think it takes about nine I think it does take

about nine minutes am i right no minutes show me nine minutes I don't know oh

sorry I thought that was a I thought I was on

a game show they see it's either nine seconds or nine minutes it's either it's

something I cut somebody must know do they know look it up like from the

psychic I can hear that people around the world now are typing into Wikipedia

I think it is about nine minutes nine minutes ronzo okay sounds too long to me

it sounds a very long time nine years 186,000 miles per second how far is it

to the Sun we can't work that oh I can't with that Adam please yes I can i if

only Stephen Hawking was here I think it's minutes

so apparently we are correct you are correct Oh mr. Steve is correct

okay I can hear the applause from millions around them there's just this

distant echo inside mr. Steve it's amazing when you look at the Sun it's

nine minutes old yeah it takes nine minutes according to

Steve not me just in case it's wrong and the Internet

well if you get your information from Wikipedia you know no I think it's right

very interesting by Apollo says interesting so how so yes so the next

time missing name talking about a space Spacey subject and your name's Apollo

yeah the name of a space rocket that went to the moon

well Apollo is a Greek god hmm Mildred says Oh Mildred is laughing haha

so we are looking at Shakespearean phrases that we still use good riddance

good Vince Megan good riddance so good riddance is normally an exclamation that

you make when you are glad to see someone go so when they walk out the

room maybe it is someone you hate or despise you don't like them and you are

glad to see them go you say oh he's gone now good riddance yes you shanks

Shakespeare that's Shakespeare back there gone and you don't want them to

come back some don't you say it to their face don't you do you but most of the

time that's a phrase you you say behind their back have you ever said good

riddance to someone's face yes I'm sure I have what to them what's what when

they're saying what when they're saying they are saying that they are going and

you say to them good riddance yes if you don't like them huh yeah you can say

that I can't imagine that I can't oh he's a good one here's a good one there

this we are getting very cerebral tonight very cerebral see intelligent

people out there mr. Duncan was trying to talk about sandwiches no that's it

when we talk about cerebral things we talk about things that are in the mind

things that we ponder things that we think about things that we consider and

that's really what Stephen Hawking did he spent a lot of his time thinking and

studying and trying to work out how things worked how things were connected

so there do you believe in time travel asks jordão now I can answer that from

my own opinion first of all I don't believe in it because no one has ever

come back from the future you see it's very easy to disprove so there are no

time travelers this there is no time travel it doesn't exist because we would

see people appearing from the future and there aren't any so that means that time

travel is not possible they yes III don't

well it's theoretically possible to to go in a spaceship and go near the speed

of light and then time travels differently for you in so it's possible

to travel forward in time if you go at very high speed yes you come back

everyone will be dead yes but that's not true time travel no it's not well it is

a kind of time no but I think they're all about just traveling you know life

from the future to 2018 and you've got a silver suit on and a big cone on your

head and you go are out I'm from the future and this is what human beings are

like in the future we talk out of our hands we're all going

we're all going to be in in about a few hundred years time it did was a very

funny episode look and in a comedy series where all the people coming from

the future we're all just this weird caramel color because because of

globalization of really traveling and interbreeding with different different

races everyone ended up being just this caramel color which I thought was quite

funny do you remember that can we say caramel color yes

caramel sorry wait though no we have to check so everybody out there if there

are any PC police watching or anyone anybody can we say caramel is it okay

whether I'm just getting a live update here from the political correctness

police yet can we I'm just checking to make sure that we

can see caramel to describe the color of a person yeah I think we currently you

can't okay it is extremely offensive and tomorrow

we will have people protesting outside the house I don't think so they will be

tearing Steve to pieces when it goes outside she's gonna mansion actor start

his car you can imagine that in five hundred years time we're all just

basically one color what we were talking about before that I don't know your time

to travel that's it so I feel like I want to go back in time and start this

live stream again according to according to physicists are going to physicists

there is no way you can possibly travel back in time that

apparently is impossible but traveling forward in time yes is possible but

that's been proved that's been proved that ya can do that and and here's an

interesting fact that will blow your mind when you get on a plane you know

what's coming next I do when you get on an aeroplane and you travel a very long

distance on a plane did you know that you are actually also traveling through

time forward in time you are travelling forward in time you are actually going

forward in time because of the speed of the plane but of course the time that

you move forward by is is just like a micro I think seconds isn't just

millionths of a second or some very tiny amount but because of the speed of the

plane there is a strange I want I want to say a quantum effect or some sort of

effect where the time shifts I think I think it's just to do with I I don't

know what the theory is there but there is a there is a thing the way if you

move fast through time the faster you go the further forward or the faster the

time goes for you so when you were right sorry yeah if it's right say if you

travel at the speed of light okay the times faster for them yes yes it's

faster the people if we get if we go in a spaceship and traveled close to the

speed of light for but I think it's four years and then you come back again

everyone at on Earth's aged by thirty years that's it

something like that I don't think anyone's interest not one person has

made a comment about any of this stuff we're talking about

well of course to us it's late at night you start talking about these subjects

late at night anyway yes apparently our - says it's it's all to do with

relativity Nativity that's the phrase I was looking for relativity yeah well AD

Reinstein address said it before you where live you know you can't think

still here's here's a bit of irony so we lost professor Stephen Hawking

today but today is also the anniversary of Einstein's birth is it yes

how bizarre is that have sat really is occurring Einstein was born in this day

and also today is a very special day it is true and also today is a special day

because it is pi day pi day because the date well you have to be in America of

course because we don't do it this way round we do it the other way round so

3.14 is the first part of Pi which is which pi goes on forever it's an

infinite number it goes on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and of

course in the UK we put the in America they put there that the month before the

before the day but in England of course we put it the other way round I'm

demonstrating here very good screen now couldn't see so it works it works on

yours Steve hold it up again I'm trying to demonstrate PI so it works on yours

but on ours it doesn't mathematical constant 1 4 3 isn't pi but 3 4 1 is on

their c14 you know the other way yes so and also it was who else's birth

birthday was it I'm trying to another person died on this day also connected

to I remember in a minute mr. Duncan mr. Steve where were you on the 11th of the

9th oh one 11th of the 9th is that the 11th

ever yes I think they're saying 9 it could be the 9th of November of course

you see so that's the problem when you use when you when you write the date

like this it can be very confusing because for British people we don't do

it like this we do it the other way round we put the day first and then the

month so it can be very confusing you write you end in this country on 9/11 oh

yeah I was who are you III was in a plane the day before 9/11 and this is a

story I think I've told before I actually arrived back from Malaysia the

day before 9/11 it has nothing to do with 9/11 I wasn't in

New York or anything like that I wasn't flying with American Airlines or

anything it was nothing connected but I was on a plane the day before 9/11 so I

arrived back in the UK the day before and then the following day of course we

all know what happened that everybody remembers where they are and so they

weren't significant yes okay but where they are everyone remember Lester

travelling in time we didn't I didn't finish the sentence come on everyone

remembers where they were when there are significant world events hmm

presidents being assassinated and things like that so where were you when the

Magna Carta was signed I was indeed well I was probably existing in another

planet somewhere billions of miles away because in the infinite universe of

course we're immortal because we exist again we are all made of stars

Stardust yes some of us have got more of the heavy elements than others so well

yes apparently 3.14159 is the start of Pi so this is quite a coincidence that

Stephen Hawking died today and it was the birthday of Einstein write that down

write that down hasn't he managed to were to arrange that I don't think he

arranged it I know he didn't have him just being hello hello it's Steven

Hawking her could you please arrange for me to die on the same day as I Stein's

okay then thank you a massive coincidence I mean the more you think

about that the more you think that is just amazing it's a coincidence mind you

I suppose it's a 1 in 365 chance oh it's probably not that yes significant so

there is a chance that we will die on the same day yes especially if it

happens at the same time but it's still significant whatever both you know

famous physicists so another let's have another phrase invented by Shakespeare

and we are going we are going in a brand about five minutes so yes the live chat

has gone very quiet I think all of the the very deep and meaningful things the

meaningful things we've talked about tonight

hello mr. Duncan that's a robot oh oh there we go Stephen Hawking I'm putting

down there for no one can see what you're pointing at Stephen Hawking

yesterday breathed his last yes or today today was it it was the early hours of

this morning so yes to breathe your last is to take your last gasp of air you

breathe your last you expire you die you'll go wherever you believe you go so

there there you go another one if someone is faint-hearted faint-hearted

it was created by Shakespeare faint-hearted faint-hearted yes that

means you that you get quite easily upset

yes very sensitive sensitive very sensitive very highly strung yes highly

strung easily suppose it's it's saying that the slightest thing you're all good

to faint but yes faint-hearted so if I if you

were to say something to me that was very mild ly abusive I might get upset

or something another what another good one is not for the faint-hearted you can

see the list here by the way there is a list here that you can see on the screen

you might need a magnifying glass to have a look at that but there they are

I'm just thinking of a way to use the faint-hearted you could say like for

example at a horror film you could say horror films are not for the

faint-hearted yes the noose or film where that bloke chops people up they

chop them to pieces that that film is not for the faint of faint hearted not

for the faint-hearted Shakespeare is a great man he would don't good

livestreams are not for the faint heart yes you've really got to to have a lot

of perseverance to get through the these live stream especially for us is that if

you think it's hard for you imagine standing here doing it live my goodness

so yes lacking courage to be timid somebody else here has access to an

online dictionary great we love it it's great when youwhen you can just key in

the words and you get the answer what's great is that if we can't remember

something that people can look it up and tell us the answer here's another one to

wear your heart on your sleeve Oh yep that came from the bar Wow

the bard himself William Shakespeare people say I do that don't they wear

your heart on your sleeve it means that you know emotions are hidden everything

that you're thinking about is there for everybody to see that's it you can be

too to open with your feeling you're not holding anything back and of course if

you wear your heart on your sleeve it is very easy to be exploited and to be used

by horrible people nasty people out there what you see is what you get so if

you're upset about something you're not going to keep anything in the British

Way normally is to hold all your emotions in but if you're somebody who

just expresses themselves I think that's how's everybody how they

feel I think that's different though that's it there's the when you wear your

heart on your sleeve it means you you show your vulnerability yes easily yes

which is not a good thing I don't think it's a good thing I don't a lot of

people round here where we live think think that I'm I'm a bit of a monster

because I tend not to I tend not to show my feelings openly when I'm talking to

people I think you show your feelings or other people you don't like them

especially especially strangers no I'm very uneasy I've said this before I'm

not hiding anything I've said this before I'm very uneasy around people I

don't know it might sound strange you might not believe it you might think mr.

Duncan that's impossible because yes is so much fun but no I get quite nervous

and very uncomfortable around people I don't know I like to have an idea of who

I'm going to be dealing with especially when we go to a party I always ask Steve

who will be there I always ask him aye aye aye

and if and if there are people there that I don't know

quite often I won't go to the party I will say no he doesn't like you don't

like surprises do you I don't like the surprises I like to have a certain

amount of control over what is happening around me yes if I go to a place where

there is an unknown quantity so there are people there who I don't know I it's

it's all very unpredictable unsettling I think say yes very interesting tonight

so we'll have a couple of more and then we'll go to go let's have a look

Oh fight fire with fire right it's Shakespeare Shakespeare coined that

phrase so if you fight fire with fire what do you do you write well it's it's

actually just how it sounds really yes so you use the same thing that is

attacking you or the same thing that is causing problems for you and you use the

same thing back to push it back like fire so if there is a fire burning in a

forest quite often they will burn another fire nearby

to stop the fire that's spreading so once the fire reached reaches the area

that's already burning and that area is controlled the fire will then go out you

have control over the fire yes and so if somebody's competing with you in some

way and they've got some method of getting one over on you you use the same

process to get back at them or if somebody starts shouting at you you can

shout back at them it's a bit like putting fire with fire it's quite

strange as it might be a bit a little bit like what's happening at the moment

between the UK and Russia so today Theresa May said I'm going to

expel some Russian diplomats from this country but then of course Russia will

probably do the same thing they will fight fire with fire they will do the

same thing back so they will probably expel some British or UK diplomats from

Russia and send them back here so another good is tit for tat I like that

one you yes I know we're going off subject slyly

but I love that tit-for-tat so one person does something and then the other

person does something to retaliate and sometimes they do the same thing to

retaliate so yes I think we've covered that quite well please can you stay for

30 more minutes mr. Duncan 30 minutes Pedro my calves are a hedgerow do you

realize it's half an hour away from midnight I've been standing here for one

and a half hours how do you think I feel I've been selling your half and I might

my calves are aching already yes imagine it

I'm we'd love to actually when I'm 70 I'm going to have big varicose veins in

my legs I'm already and it's going to be your fault it's gonna be all your fault

where my legs look like look like bags full of spaghetti and I can think about

is what they're cooking in Brazil at the moment I want to try nice is there a

Brazilian restaurant around I don't think we have Brazilian restaurants we

have Caribbean restaurants but we don't have Brazilian apparently what does the

green-eyed monster mean because it is on my list if you see at the bottom at the

bottom on the on the left the green-eyed monster is the definition of jealousy

yes you express jealousy so a person who is jealous in fact even even the text

underneath is green that's very clever I like that so the green-eyed monster is

jealousy so when a person has the green-eyed monster it means that they

feel jealous of another person similar to the expression green with envy yes

exactly well if I think you might find that

green with envy actually came after the green-eyed monster so I think you might

find that Shakespeare was there first and then the other one came later so if

you're if you're jealous of somebody you you you say that they've got the

green-eyed monster is that right that's why when when people say your Envy is so

jealous they always use the word green I don't know reen with anything

yes I don't know why they use that it must be it must be the way you look when

you're jealous or envious as some of there must be a certain look on your

face hmm and they say you're green with envy that's right

green with envy you've got a touch of the green-eyed monster about you the

let's have another one if you haven't Oh I've not slept one

wink not slept a wink Shakespeare that Shakespeare he created that so if you've

had a bad night's sleep you reckon in the morning if you're

really tired yourself why had a dreadful night's sleep I didn't sleep a wink

I didn't sleep one wink it means that you didn't sleep at all it's an

expression people yeah I just I didn't sleep a wink last night well of course a

wink means to close your eyes so when you close your eyes on one side so you

just close one eye that is a wink all right mr. Duncan a wink mr. Steve is a

bit of a wink er I've go fun E I hope the subtitles get that right mr. Duncan

it's raining cats and dogs in Sao Paulo or is it let's have another one break

the ice this is this is one but it we used a few indeed we did indeed okay

here's the rest of the sentence the other week just one extra word was it

nice yes what we did we use we use that expression when we were talking about

idioms related to the cold yes to break ice so yes Shakespeare created that

expression to break the ice break the ice to get things moving when you've got

people together and they don't know each other very well often you might play a

little game or something like that just to get everybody all relaxed break the

ice hmm another good one too much of a good thing too much of a good thing

that'll be chocolate with me yes anything that you have the

it feels good all makes you feel good or is pleasurable but then you have too

much of it and quite often too much of a good thing can make you suffer or to be

sick or it can make you feel unwell or it can damage you in some way

so yes too much of a good thing is courtesy of mr. Shakespeare yes you can

use that for anything food when you're over indulging in food you've had too

much to eat that's too much too much of a good thing too many holidays people

often say what's too much of a good thing oh here's a good one here's a good

one dead is a doornail dead as a doornail yes it just means you're very

dead although if you're dead you're dead anyway you can't be very dead can you no

you can't be varied it can be quite dead is he dead well he's a bit dead he's

slightly dead he's a bit more dead now now is completely dead a doornail is

something is it an inert object isn't it something that's cold and hard cold hard

just like a person when they're dead they go they go door now they go cold

and they go hard that's it it's horrible but it's true so we started off with

death and we're we're ending we've come full circle yes full circle you see it's

there full circle started talking about a subject at the beginning of your line

live lesson hour and a half later we've come full circle all the way back to it

again it means to end up where you started so if you end up in the same

place you started from you go full circle Thank You mr. Shakespeare for

that one it's very kind of you it strange that the live chat has gone very

quiet everyone's gone to bed I wonder if everyone is there anyone still there

they all travel in time and they've all gone back to the beginning though

they've gone back to just before the livestream started and they've pressed

the little X in the corner of the screen to make it disappear no no please don't

do that they've got I'm not doing that again

are we off then mr. Dean what is the meaning of to be cruel

you must be cruel to be kind to be cruel to be kind well sometimes

especially if you are a parent and you will know this sometimes you have to be

cruel to your child to be kind to teach them a lesson so sometimes you have to

be a little bit strict or you have to lay down the rules and sometimes you

have to do it in a very harsh way yeah so sometimes you have to be cruel to be

kind quite often parents behave in that way a

similar expression would be tough love oh yes

tough love so sometimes if you love somebody but it's it's the same as cruel

to be kind so you have to be a bit tough on them because you know that's good for

them but it's very it's very hard to do that say you've got a child and they're

always demanding things that are a bit spoiled they're always after asking you

for money for things and then you want to teach them the value of money so you

stop giving them things or you you ration how much you're giving to them

you would say that was being cruel to be kind or tough love parents often parents

often are cruel to be kind they might take their child's phone away from them

just to teach them a lesson because maybe sometimes they take things

for granted they always expect it to be there so sometimes you have to teach a

very tough lesson sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind

or you have to use tough love here's another one

vanish into thin air it's Shakespeare well Shakespeare create that that phrase

to vanish into thin air to completely disappear without trace

where'd you go he just he just vanished into thin air he just vanished

poof somebody just disappears they they're they're one minute gone that cuz

they're not actually vanished into thin air but you look for somebody

they're suddenly gone they're gone maybe you're talking to someone and then you

look the other way and then you turn back in the person's gone they've walked

off but it's as if they vanished they vanished into thin air Shakespeare

thanks a lot thanks a lot for that let's have a

couple of more because this is very interesting a lot of people now are

saying this list is amazing so many people didn't even realize this I think

even Steve I didn't is finding out some some of the one down there which one

bottom right the bottom right love is blind love is blind oh I I think that a

lot of people many people will go along with this expression that William

Shakespeare created love is blind you fall in love with somebody but because

you're in love of them you can't see all their faults and quite often you fall in

love with the wrong person hmm we've all done that and your friends might be able

to see that they're a bad person but you can't because you're too in love with

them so love is blind you can't see their faults I think that would be

accurate no that's very good yes so love is blind it makes fools of many people

people do foolish things when they fall in love because they let their heart

rule their mind so they think here instead of here so love is blind in your

head yes your heart or causing in matters of love it's very you can't

really let your head rule your heart that would be very difficult but yes

quite often people will say oh oh she's she's going out with that bloke he's a

baton he is you see don't you gotta get she's only gonna have bad things with

him and she can't see it and they'll they'll say all love is blind so love is

blind it makes fools of many people some people learn the hard way by being used

and abused

I don't know what could you explain that what you just did well what does that

mean I was just recalling an incident with a

past lover who was very bad and I was just pretending really I told one of my

neighbors of the other day that I beat stiva as a joker I think she believed

him because you know I had to take it you

know what when people when people think things in their mind I have this way of

solving this problem when people think things of you I actually encourage them

to think it so even if they're mistaken even if they are completely wrong about

me I still play as if they are right so the

other day I I pretended that I actually beat Steve up as a joke so she wasn't

because they think I'm a bit mean I'm a bit of a monster but I'm not I'm lovely

I'm so cuddly and lovely they've probably told that their whole

neighborhood now that aren't you're beating me up yes but it doesn't matter

cuz I'm not and don't say otherwise

oh right he couldn't you can beat up a spider

mister doom I couldn't beat my way out of a wet paper bag he couldn't I

couldn't I'm terrible in a fight I this is how I fight if I was in a fight this

is how I'd fight giving the game away now I would fight like everything you're

tough I would fight like a girl that's how I fight I just do a lot of slapping

there's a lot of slapping taking place not much punching just lots of slapping

in fact they were are you okay Steve just reading the list I'm okay you want

to go over there so another one have a goodness sake a goodness sake mr. Duncan

calm down now that is one that Steve uses a lot I do yes he does it when he

gets frustrated about something he always goes off for goodness sake I

think isn't that like saying for God's sake yes so quite often in the past

people would use God as a way of cursing or swearing but then of course it became

unacceptable and so instead people said something else so they they exchanged

the word god we're good so for goodness sake goodness that mr. Duncan will you

stop talking for two minutes that's it for goodness sake will this live stream

ever end yes it will very soon don't worry because I'm gonna go to bed Julia

says you guys are amazing I I not I don't like you I love you

thank you very much for that oh it's nice to be loved but are you a good

person or a bad person the world is your oyster yes I like that one that's one of

my favorite expressions in the world so the world is your oyster the world is

there for you to do what you want to do it is there for the taking

so if you have a dream something you want to do something you want to

experience a place that you want to go to something you wish to do in your life

while whilst you can breathe and enjoy this thing called life then the world is

your oyster yes yes you can use that as an

expression for it for everyone who want to achieve something in life well you

can do anything the world's your oyster that's it

or you can sometimes say it specifically can't you so if somebody has a specific

talent like they've got a very good voice or they're beautiful they can be a

model and you can say all the world's their oyster because if you've got a

special talent it means that you probably will achieve the heights of

your dreams the height of your career so it can be used to anybody to say well

you can do anything you like because there are lots of opportunities in the

world and if you believe in something and love

for you probably and and you'll you work hard as if you achieve it all it can be

used specifically for people who have got specific talents and you can see

those talents so if somebody goes on a talent show and they've got a wonderful

voice you can say oh look at that they've got a wonderful voice the

world's their oyster you can be used for everybody so they have many

opportunities but it also can be a very inspirational way of saying look go out

there and get what you can if you have something to offer the world go out

there and do it be an individual do something that you want to do follow

your dreams follow your path and give you a life some purpose if you learn

English the world's your oyster how about that Pedro well that was quite

clever Pedro is going now because his favorite television program is about to

start I I must admit I feel very upset salting how could you say that that is

your favorite television show does it bother what what are we being thrown off

for what is Pedro going to see that's better than us excuse me disgusting mr.

Duncan sorry about looking live on air I had a little burp then I was drinking

some water very quickly yes Pedro is going he's going to watch

his favorite soap opera soap opera yes what's that then what's it called head

where is Pedro Pedro Brazil Brazil Argentina Amazon Pedro not only am i the

first time here but I don't write often because I I'm normally busy washing

plates or cooking and that comes from Julia gulia so Julia gulia thank you

very much and you don't often leave messages so thanks a lot another one oh

he's a good one I like this one wild goose chase so you can see it just there

there it is on the corner there oh yes wild goose chase wild goose chase so a

wild goose case is something that occurs when

people search for something or they do something to try and find something and

it is all pointless it is fruitless so there is no conclusion you fight you

don't find what you're looking for you are searching everywhere looking

everywhere trying to find the thing that you are looking for and you don't find

it it was just a wild goose chase because presumably if you're trying to

chase a goose it would be quite difficult you'd waste your time trying

to catch a goose so people often use that don't they an expression to each

other I mean you might I'm trying to think of an example of where you would

use that well the police sometimes use it the police when they're searching for

a criminal and they might get lots of information that is completely useless

so the police say well we thought we knew where the murderer was so we sent

the police there but then someone else said no he's over there he's there so

they went there instead but he wasn't there either so they then someone says

oh no he's in that other town he's gone there so they go there but he's not

there either so the police go on a wild goose chase they don't find the thing

they are looking for it is just a fruitless search yes a fruitless search

and it might not be literally walking about or running about it could be it

could be it could be used figuratively couldn't it for other things as well

that's it yes yes they just sent me on a wild goose chase it was a pointless task

pointless tasks or tasks yes that's it very good I'm getting tired by going in

a minute don't worry Steve I go if you want to

I get the feeling Steve wants to go and I'm gonna go to work to see what I hear

what I said they did because last Sunday Steve let us all down last week

because he went to see his mummy let my mother down did you a mum liked

the flowers she did she loved the flowers and she's flowers used a lot of

water so she's topping them up with water to keep them alive I think the

longer she's kept flowers alive when I bought them for two weeks Wow I know

that's amazing so even though they were very expensive they will probably stay

looking fresh for a long time yes you just keep chopping the base of the stalk

off because it gets blocked up so the water can't go up and then he put some

sugar and some vinegar in the water oh and that keeps the flowers alive

that's very good vinegar kills off the bacteria that can block at the end of

the stem and the sugar gives them some energy so that's a good tip if you want

if you want to get your flowers that you put into the VARs or Vaes if you want

them to last longer put put the water in with a little bit of sugar yes and

vinegar couple of teaspoons of sugar and a tablespoon of vinegar and last longer

Wow very good that's a good way to end Steve okay we will see you later okay

still need to be here Steve is going to clean his teeth and wash behind his ears

and don't forget to wash in your ears as well because Steve always forgets to

wash inside his ears and I keep telling him if you don't do that you will get

carrots growing inside your ears that's what my mum Youth's

my mum used to say that to me ridiculous mr. Duncan what are you saying that my

mother is ridiculous no carrots growing out of your ear is ridiculous all that

information came from my mother and she's never wrong thank you very much

Steve thank you very much and nice to be here most have been on for how long in

an hour am I gonna go this way yes I vanish into

thin air well you can climb out the window if you want oh there's a window

there by if you want to leave by the wind now am I here on Sunday yes good I

shall see you all on Sunday definitely Tatara for now so there he goes mr.

Steve has left the room he has gone upstairs to clean his teeth and wash his

ears don't forget you have to wash inside your ears as well or else

you get carrots growing inside that's what my mother used to say anyway is

anyone still on the live chat we will have a couple of more of the

Shakespearean quotes that we use nowadays in modern English

how about bated breath if you wait with bated breath

it means you wait and you hold your breath you hold your breath whilst

waiting for something to happen so you wait for it to happen

bated breath good night mr. steve says Jamelia yes mr. Steve has gone now he

has to get his beauty sleep I'm saying nothing Julia yes I can speak Russian

and write in Russian are you sorry mr. Duncan we make conversation behind your

back no Julia it's great I love the fact that people are sharing their

experiences in the live chat and also don't forget the live chat will be saved

so when you watch this live stream later as a recording yes the live chat will

also be there it is a great new feature that YouTube has introduced and I love

it I love it a lot let's have one more and then I will wrap up laughing stock

laughing stock now that was actually a mystery idiom a few weeks ago laughing

stock if someone is the laughing stock it means lots of people around are

making fun of that particular person they are seen as foolish by many people

so that person is the laughing stock the laughing stock so that person has been

trapped by their stupidity they have become

laughing stock I think we will leave it there because we are now coming up

towards midnight we are approaching the midnight hour yes it's true you can see

all of the Shakespeare quotes there so there they are

on the screen and I will see you on Sunday I hope you've enjoyed this very

long late and live stream my legs are actually going to sleep I've been

standing here for nearly two hours can you believe it so here we go it's time

future maybe in the past who knows I hope you are feeling good I hope you are

not feeling too tired and maybe just in case it is the start of your day I hope

you have a super day I will see you on Sunday we are talking about lots of

things I think we're going to talk about rules breaking the rules and getting

into trouble with the police yes that's what we are going to be
