Hey, Internet! Today we are going to build a kegerator out of a mini-fridge, with

enough space for two homebrew kegs. We're also going to be tearing this fridge

apart so that you can see exactly where the condenser and evaporator lines are

run... so that you do not accidentally drill into them. The reason I have a

spare fridge to do this is because I accidentally drilled into them.

Moving on!

I'm using Cornelius Ball Lock kegs -- common for homebrewing, but they can differ in

dimensions. These ones that I have are about eight and a half inches in

diameter and just under 25 inches tall. Some of them are shorter and wider, which

makes it a little more difficult to find a fridge where you can fit two side-by-side.

If you have the option, go ahead and go with the thinner ones.

Now, our fridge...

with the shelves removed we have a footprint of sixteen inches by eleven and a half

inches, which is just enough to squeeze the two kegs in side-by-side.

To make sure everything fits comfortably, we're going to need to remove the plastic

molding and a little bit of insulation from the door, and -- vertically -- we need to

bend the freezer tray down to the back to make sure that we have enough height.

So the next step is to take this freezer tray and bend it flush against

the back of the fridge.

Before we bend down the tray, we have to remove the control unit, which is just a single Phillips head screw.

There's also a temperature probe that you'll need to disconnect from the freezer tray.

There's two Phillips head screws on each side that we're going to need to undo before we can bend it back.

And then, once we do, be EXTREMELY careful to make sure you do

NOT puncture the coolant line in the back of the tray.

Now, on this fridge, the freezer tray has a bracket that holds the feed line in place.

I recommend clipping that out (with a pair of clippers) before you bend it down

just to make sure that you don't put any added strain on the line as you bend it.

Put some pressure upwards on the line in the back...

You're going to need to move the control unit up and over the tray.

And once you have it in place, you can go ahead and screw it back in with the two original screws.

Go ahead and find a spot to remount the temperature control unit. On the side

vertically here is a pretty good option, depending on how you want to fit your

kegs and your CO2 tank in there.

And then you're also going to want to make sure that you remount the temperature probe onto the freezer tray

in its original spot.

Once you have the freezer tray bent down to the back, you can go ahead and

test fit your kegs. If they're the same dimensions as mine, you'll see that they

aaalmost fit but not quite. Not enough to close the door all the way.

So, what we're going to do is go ahead and trim down these plastic ridges on the door...

...take out a little bit of insulation, and then we'll have enough room for everything to fit

nice and comfortably.

Before you start modifying the door... on the bottom here

if you undo the screws, you can go ahead and remove the door before you start cutting the insulation.

Set that aside...

Now, with the door, all we really need to do is cut out this

plastic so that it's nice and flat and it doesn't bump into the kegs when we

close the door. The easiest way to do that is either with a box cutter or an exacto knife.

If you follow the seam along the edge you can press the knife right in...

Now you have just a flat door.

Alright, we've got our door back on, we have our magnetic

strip back on... it's a bit of a tight fit with two kegs in there, but the door

closes all the way, which is all we need. If you do want some more tolerance you

can go ahead and trim some of the plastic and insulation out from the

sidewalls which will give you plenty of space.

Another option, which is what I did, is to add a buckle latch to the door.

...to make sure it stays closed and gives you a good seal.

At this point, we are basically one draft tower away from a

kegerator, which means it's time to start thinking about where we want to drill a

hole. So, let's take a look at our sacrificial fridge and see where we can

drill without hitting anything. With the foam removed -- or mostly removed -- you can

see we have the evaporator line in the back and the condenser lines on the

sides, primarily, with a little on the top and the back. The condenser lines are

primarily on the sides of the fridge and zig-zag back and forth about two inches

apart. On the top, the line crosses over and loops out toward the middle about

eight and a quarter inches from the back edge of the fridge, and then zig-zags

again on the other side. The evaporator line comes up from the bottom on the

left, loops once and then connects to the

freezer tray. On the right hand side, we have the wiring for the temperature

control which is clipped here but normally runs up the side to the control

unit. We also have an insert on the right hand side where the switch for the

door sits. For reference, here are some drawings based on the fridge teardown

but again remember that you'll want to leave plenty of clearance when deciding

where drill your holes because this can definitely vary from fridge to fridge.

So, from our sacrificial fridge we know that the condenser line comes out

approximately eight and a quarter inches from the back edge.

It's about two inches wide. The fridge is nineteen and a quarter inches wide so the

center line is nine and five-eighths inches. So, I'm going to drill the hole for the

draft tower ten and a half inches from the back edge. That gives me enough

clearance to drill just under a three inch hole, and also leaves room for the

four mounting holes for the flange. I'm gonna start out with a quarter inch

drill bit to drill a pilot hole, and then use a step drill bit to widen it to an

inch and a half which is enough for two beverage lines. If you want a larger hole

you can use a hole saw, although the step drill bit is really the easiest way to

go on the sheet metal.

[ drilling ]

If you use your pilot hole to mark out the diameter on the inside,

you can cut out the plastic, remove the foam carefully, and convince

yourself that there's no lines that you're gonna hit when you widen the hole.

We look to be in good shape! You can see the sheet metal on top... you can see the

pilot hole, and there's no condenser lines in sight so we can go ahead and

widen this hole with the step bit.

[ hole diameter intensifies ]

[ dremeling ]

Optionally, I put another hole on the back...for gas lines (if you want to keep

your CO2 tank outside), or have a secondary nitrogen tank, or run any wires

in for a BrewPi or anything else. This hole actually doesn't take any drilling

at all. There's already a hole in the sheet metal -- where I assume they spray

the foam in (?) -- so you can just cut through the foam and the plastic and then you

have your secondary entry point.

We've got the holes marked for our flange.

Again, you want to make sure you're at least eight and a half or nine inches from the

back edge to make sure you avoid that condenser line.

[ drilling resumes ]

That is the last of the drilling, and we're ready to mount our tower.

I also 3D printed plastic inserts for the holes that we drilled, just for appearances. One for the top one

for the back, and then corresponding pieces for the inside.

I'm using 1/4-20, two and a half inch hex head bolts with a flat washer on each side.

[ ratcheting ]

This is our final fit with two kegs and a five pound CO2 tank.

The tower that I'm using is a three inch diameter chrome ABS draft tower from Williams Brewing

with two Intertap tower shanks and faucets. The drip tray with the tower cut out

is also from Williams.

Your keg will have an inlet post for the CO2, sometimes

designated by a star-shaped base and the outlet post for the liquid.

The connection to the post is a ball lock quick disconnect -- black for liquid and

white for gas. They are not interchangeable. The way these go on is

to pull up the flange, pop it onto the post, and release the flange.

If your disconnects have hose barbs, you can attach the hoses directly. I prefer to

use the flare nuts.

the tower shanks have a 90 degree hose barb with a curved flange to match the

curvature of the tower, and then an associated curved insert for the inside.

You'll want to start by attaching the hose to the shank with a hose clamp.

3/16" inner diameter is the common size for beer tubing.

On the other end of the tubing, attach your flare nut, but do not attach the quick disconnect

just yet, as we still need to feed this down through the tower.

Make sure you have the flange on the outside, and then start feeding the tubing into the tower.

Before you feed it all the way down into the fridge, add your curved insert and the shank nut.

If you have a shank wrench, you can try and use that to tighten the nut, but...

it's a tight fit in the tower no matter what, so I always end up tightening it with some needle-nose pliers.

Then feed the lines down into the fridge.

We have some insulation to keep the beverage lines cold in the tower.

You can try and squeeze that in through the top, but sometimes it's easier to

just disconnect the tower and put it in through the bottom.

That's all there is to it! I hope this was helpful, and...enjoy your kegerator!

PHORCYS UNDERWATER ACTIVITIES - EPISODE#34 - Duration: 11:35.

BLOOD IN THE MASK

What if we suddenly realize, after our ascend,

that there is presence of blood in our mask, coming from our nose.

Should we have it checked?

This situation is almost always indicative of a sinus barotrauma (sinus squeeze),

a situation which unfortunately is very common among divers.

We will go through it in our next episode.

How to install HD graphics for Halo CE Multiplayer (Kinnet's graphical mod) [2017] - Duration: 11:16.

Hi I'm Kinnet

And today i'm gonna redo my tutorial of how to install this amazing graphic mod for Halo Custom Edition

And the reason for this is that the last video was very badly explained and it was only on Spanish

And also cuz it made 20k views and i want that again :)

But before we start with the tutorial i want to explain what this mod is about

Basically this mod replaces all the old graphics with "remastered" ones on all the stock maps of halo ce

It replaces weapons, vehicles, MC, sounds, models, etc.

And you're totally able to join multiplayer servers running stock maps with this mod

And now we can start with the tutorial

All the download links will be on the description

First we are going to download and install HAC2, but if u have it already u can skip this step

"""me saying the exact same thing again cuz im retarded"""

Once we're on the website just click the yellow folder to start the download.

open the file after downloading

and inside the folder "release" is the file we need

and now we need to go to the directory where we have Halo CE installed

which by default is on "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition"

and there we need to find the folder "controls"

"""me acting retarded again"""

once we're here we just drag the file "loader.dll" file into the "controls" folder

and Done HAC2 is now installed

now we need to open Halo CE

this step looks kinda stupid but is actually important

Once halo opens we will wait until the main menu loads (it may take longer to start than usual) when the menu loads it means that all HAC2 files have been generated

and now just close halo

"""it's a lot easier to explain this on english than in spanish lol"""

"""Me confused for a sec"""

now we're going to downlaod the file called "cache", just go to the link, it will open a mediafire download page

Yeah... click the green button to start the download

once again is a very small file

it contains a file called "cache.hac"

Now we have to go to the "My documents" folder

"""this tutorial is very basic because my spanish subs are like 8 and cant understand simple stuff"""

Once we're on "Documents" we have to search a folder called "My Games"

now we have to go to: "Documents\My Games\Halo CE\hac\"

and in this folder we will find a file called "cache.hac" identical to the one that we just downloaded

Now we are going to delete this old "cache.hac"

then just move the new "cache.hac" there. And Done

This is the most IMPORTANT step in the installation of this mod, if we don't do this we won't be able to join any multiplayer servers with this mod.

something else i want to cover is that many people is just going to drag and drop the "cache.hac" from the winrar file to the folder and then replace...

... I don't recommend doing that since some times it is not going to replace the file properly (windows permissions) (it has happened to me before).

what i recommend is first delete the old file and then move the new one in.

if after installing the mod you can't join any server running the map you downloaded, you did this step wrong

"""Me explaining the same thing again"""

Now we're going to do the final step, download the maps of the mod!

Just go to the link on the description labeled as "maps"

And in this Mediafire folder are all the maps avalible for this mod

And if you want to download one just click on them and it will take you to the mediafire download page

"""Me explaining how to use mediafire"""

Download the ones that you want, i personally recommend downloading all of them :)

After downloading the maps you want, you can just install them as you would install a regular halo ce map. and done, tutorial finished. you can go play the mod now. Bye

"""But since this video is for my 5 year old Spanish subs, i have to teach them how to use the "copy and paste" windows function :D (but im gonna continue the subtitles anyway)"""

Once you download the maps, you will get these compressed files

And now we need to go to our Maps folder on the halo custom edition folder

once we're there, we open the maps folder.

And to install the new maps, we have to right click them, and then click in "Extract Here"

And after the uncompromising is done we will get a ".map" file

And then we just drag them in to the maps folder, is gonna ask us if we want to replace, we click "Move and Replace"

And done, if you want to install other maps you just uncompressed them, then move them into the maps folder and replace.

"""Me explaining the same thing again"""

And DONE, the installation is finished. Now we can Go and test it.

I'm going to try to join a bloodgulch server to see if the mod works

And as you can see i joined a multiplayer server with the mod, which means everything is working perfectly fine.

In the other video many (spanish) people told me that they couldn't play the mod, but if you follow all the steps of this tutorial i ensure you that you will be able to play this mod without any problem

And something else i wanted to say is that, this mod is still in BETA

which means i'm still working on it, and if you want to see what i'm doing with it or when it will come out, i sugget you subscribing

You can also follow me on Facebook

And also you can join my Discord server, where you can ask me questions about the mod, or other halo modding related stuff.

And also something that i got asked a lot on the previous tutorial was that, How do i get that halo reach style Chat ?

And the answer is: Is a HAC2 function that you need to enable through the console

Just go to Halo and in the console type: custom_chat 1

And done, you will get the halo reach chat style now

And if you want to disable it just type: custom_chat 0

And if you don't know how to open the console on halo , there is a bunch of tutorials on YouTube for that

And that's all for this video, Thanks for watching.

Now I'll leave you with this gameplay so my video can get pass the 10 min mark, so i can make extra muney. :P (don't tell my spanish subs)

have a look at the insect in question there are thousands and thousands of

these flying around at the moment it is a lady bird and there is one that I

filmed in the house this week a little lady bird walking up the window and

there it is beautiful creature and of course they can't fly isn't that lovely

a little lady bird amazing creatures it's not very often that you get to see

a lady bird close-up so even I am fascinated by this piece of video

footage oh look he's having a little clean can you see the Lady Bird it's

cleaning its antennas how lovely and of course you must know by

now that I am absolutely crazy about animals I love animals so much so there

it was this week one of many many lady birds that are attacking my house at the

moment quite a few we had a drama this week by

the way a big drama last Sunday in fact it was last Sunday after last week's

live stream all of the water supply in this area went off it was cut off so all

of the water in the area in which I live was actually cut off it stopped so there

was a slight emergency in this area in fact it was so so serious there were

large lorries driving around full of water and they were actually pumping

water into the pipes to make sure that we all had water and and in some cases

they were actually giving water out in certain parts of the area in which I

live it was amazing it was like I was expecting helicopters to fly over

dropping things attached to parachutes bottles of water attached to parachutes

dropping into the garden it was it was treated very seriously I must say but a

big thank you to seven Trent water for making sure that we all had water last

weekend because the water was cut off apparently tomorrow we have what remains

of Hurricane Maria tomorrow so Hurricane Maria is now just a small storm but

tomorrow apparently here in the UK we are going to get Hurricane Maria or

should I say what is left of Hurricane Maria so it shouldn't be too serious

talking of outside later on we are going into the garden because during the week

mr. Steve and myself we have been very be busy outside very busy indeed we were

doing some big chores because of course autumn is here can you see can you see

all of the leaves can you see that autumn has arrived

so we were outside doing some very important garden chores before the

weather gets too bad so that's what we've been doing this week and you will

have a chance later on to see what that is all about also coming up later on we

have some clips some video clips from one of my English lessons and of course

there are lots of English lessons on my youtube channel can you see there all of

my lessons are in the playlists under this video so you can find them all

underneath the video also later on I've received a message from someone asking

mr. Duncan what does mr. Steve do as his job well today at 3 o'clock we are going

to find out exactly what mr. Steve does as his main job a little bit later on

yes mr. Steve will be here at 3 o'clock today so don't forget mr. Steve will be

right here on YouTube he will be giving us one flash word and also he will be

here at 3 o'clock live as live can be today we are talking about childhood

memories and I'm hoping that you will get involved as well so I would love to

hear from you if you have any childhood memories any memories from your

childhood perhaps a nice moment that you treasure also later on we will find out

what Duncan that's me and Steve looked like as children so you will find out

what we look like as children a

but later on because we have some photographs of ourselves taken when we

were little so we will be sharing some moments from our childhood mr. Steve

will be telling us all about his upbringing now maybe this is something I

haven't mentioned before but mr. Steve is quite posh you may have noticed from

his accent because quite a few people have said Mr Duncan we like mr. Steve's

accent it's very posh and yes I think it's true that mr. Steve is very posh

maybe even Pasha than me I know it seems impossible

but I think mr. Steve might be very very posh indeed so autumn is here shall we

have a look at a clip from one of my autumn lessons I have actually made two

or three lessons talking about autumn but also I've made a big lesson where I

talk all about the season of autumn so let's have a look at an excerpt from one

of my lessons and this is just a small excerpt from this particular lesson

where I talk all about the season that we are in now autumn

so what makes autumn so special well just like spring autumn is a period of

transition you could say that it is the opposite of spring in the sense of it

being the time when plants and trees and even many wild animals prepare for the

onset or arrival of winter it is the season when almost everything in nature

whines down the leaves on the trees turn gold and fall to the ground flowers will

wither away after shedding their seeds animals will begin to store food in

their nests and burrows the days will become shorter and the nighttime

temperature will begin to drop

yeah it's live it's Sunday and here we are once again all together on the live

stream every Sunday don't forget I am here every single Sunday from 2 p.m. UK

time and of course don't forget all of my English lessons are available you can

watch them all as many times as you want including the live stream you are

watching now so if you want to watch this later

if you don't have time to watch all of this don't worry because you can watch

it later on and of course when we replay the live stream there are subtitles as

well that is later on but at the moment we are definitely live it is now 23

minutes past two o'clock I love autumn do you like autumn now not everyone has

autumn in their country because some countries are very hot and they just

have tropical weather all year and their seasons are defined by how wet or how

dry it is but here we have four seasons spring summer which has just come to an

end and now we are entering the season of autumn I must admit I love autumn

very much it is a very atmospheric and also I think meaningful so its

atmospheric and also meaningful it is a very interesting season all of the

leaves on the trees die off certain trees do not lose their leaves of course

there are evergreens which don't lose their leaves but many of the trees do

they lose their leaves you can see here behind me look look look at all the

leaves these leaves are fresh from my garden and I've just realised in a

couple of days this is going to be a terrible mess for me to clean up so I'm

not sure if that's a good idea you can find the full version the full 20 minute

version of my English lesson all about autumn if you

want to watch it the link is underneath this livestream

doing to the other bull what's he doing what what's he what what what are you

chaotic I'm moving to another neighborhood oh my goodness you have my

sympathy there it is very difficult it is one of the most stressful things in

life apparently moving to another house so you have to pack all of your things

and then you have to move to another house I did it in 2013 when I moved here

I had to pack everything away and move it's very stressful so I know I know how

you feel Rita I really do Mao Ching Chan says hi everyone hello

of days ago it was over 45 degrees in Australia that is very hot I have to say

it's not 45 degrees here today it's very cool here in the UK

Rene Reni Nguyen says I love your lessons mr. Duncan thank you very much

for that it's been so chaotic here this morning would you like to see just how

chaotic it's been here this morning now normally every week we have flash

words and normally we film these before we go on air or before we start the

stream but this morning we were in such a rush in fact let me just show you let

me just show you how chaotic it was here this morning oh my goodness there's only

10 minutes before today's livestream starts and I still don't have any flash

words where's mr. Steve we have to record the

flash words where is he mr. Steve where are you mr. Steve mr. Steve oh he's in

the bathroom mr. Steve we need we need the flash words today's today's flash

words but we we have to have at least one flash word weeks ago no no I think

they will notice can you just do one oh

just one flash flash word here it is

shoddy the word shoddy is both an English adjective and noun that means

badly made or done if something has been made with poor workmanship or without

care then we can say that the thing is shoddy those Tories might be cheaper

than the others but they look so shoddy I complain to the shop about their

shoddy service shoddy can also mean lacking moral principles you displayed a

shoddy attitude in your business practices if something is badly made or

done or if a person behaves without morals or integrity then we can say that

the thing is shoddy or have been done shoddily as a noun the word shoddy means

fabric or yarn that is of inferior quality the origin of shoddy is unknown

shoddy Thank You mr. Steve Anna I must admit I think your presentation was a

little bit shoddy as well I need to clean my teeth now on in about an hour

and 10 minutes so off you go and start the show mr.

Duncan of course mr. Steve will be with us live

at 3 o'clock so that happened this morning can you see just how chaotic it

was here chaos was everywhere in the house so there was mr. Steve so that is

the one and only flash word today unfortunately I'm very sorry about that

but as you could see there as you could see in that clip mr. Steve was very busy

cleaning his teeth we have the mystery idioms now last week we didn't have the

mystery idioms I received quite a few complaints saying err err mr. Duncan

the mystery idioms we like trying to solve the mystery idioms where are they

you better have some next week or we'll come round and smash your face in

that's not very nice is it so today we have some mystery idioms would you like

to see the mystery idioms now okay here they come here is the first mystery

idiom so mystery idiom number one all you have to do is say what you see say

what you see mystery idiom number one just say what you see this is a

well-known expression in English something we use quite often but what is

the mystery idiom so there is the first one would you like to see the other one

here is mystery idiom number two oh and there is the second one I'm I'm not

quite sure what's going on there that is one of my more unusual mystery idioms

I'm not sure what is actually happening there but do you know if you think you

know please let me know on the live chat thanks a lot for joining me

October has arrived yes October is here and as I mentioned

earlier it is my 11th year on YouTube on the 31st of October 2006 I uploaded my

first ever video and I've been here ever since I know it seems amazing it seems

unbelievable but I'm still here doing the same thing I was doing 11 years ago

analytic brain is here hello analytic brain hi mr. Duncan how are you I'm from

Hungary I I like the childhood photograph of you on the thumbnail for

today's livestream yes today's livestream has a little picture of me

we know as little and we will be seeing much more of that later on let's have a

look at one of my lessons now there are many lessons on my YouTube channel

including ask mr. Duncan and this is a special series of lessons where I answer

your questions

sorry I'm going to have to go now some friends have just arrived sorry about

that bye bye bye okay bye bye hi everybody

this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you okay I hope so

are you happy I hope so well the chilly days and freezing nights

are finally here and already it really does feel like winter here in England so

now I'm wearing my extra layers of clothing including my extra long

underwear yes Here I am once again with another selection of your questions and

comments so without any more shivering and before I turn a pretty

shade of blue and freeze to death let's have our first question for today can we

change a present continuous sentence into a passive voice this question was

sent in by javi Arif soon in Pakistan where in stating something we usually

have a choice of how to express it we can put the emphasis or importance on

the person for example he has canceled the meeting this is a present perfect

active sentence we usually News has or have in this type of

sentence for one person we use has and for two or more people we use have he

has marry has the group have they have if we say the meeting has been cancelled

then we are giving importance to the event this is a present perfect passive

sentence we use has been or have been it has been they have been present perfect

continuous expresses an action that is ongoing it is happening now the emphasis

is on you even as I speak the building is burning the passive voice expresses

the building and what is happening to it the emphasis or importance is on the

object the building is still being destroyed by the fire even as I speak

the problem with passive speech is that it can make the sentence too formal

it becomes too complex the active sense speeds the sentence up active speech is

more common in present perfect continuous because you can express more

by saying less your nice emails I have received a nice email from khatai Lee

and Mamadou who live in Mali which is in West Africa thank you for your kind

words and I'm more than happy to welcome you to my ever-growing global classroom

there's plenty of room for everyone I have also received a nice message from

Julian who lives in France Julian is learning English in preparation for a

trip East taking with his girlfriend Margot to New York in March next year

I'm happy to hear that my lessons are helping you and I wish you both a great

time in the Big Apple and a special bonjour to you both as well

I have also received a nice email from Slovakia sinski in Poland who studies

English by using the internet and watching the television needless to say

this is the reason why I teach here on the internet it is a great way of giving

as many people as possible the chance to study English wherever they happen to be

in the world a big hello to you Slovak and everyone watching in Poland it's

that time again

ladies and gentlemen Kings princesses princes and queens

it's the moment everyone has been waiting for a gulp a sigh I poked in the

eye

this week's word has only four letters and appears towards the end of a

dictionary the word is Zeile this noun relates to having an enthusiastic nature

or to be enthusiastic about something to be devoted to a subject or cause to

display a passion for something he has a zeal for art mr. Duncan has a zeal for

teaching synonyms include dedication devotion enthusiasm fervor keenness and

passion the opposite of zeal is apathy

some freezing idioms

there are many idioms and expressions connected with the cold and the low

temperatures cold-shoulder to ignore or snub someone you give them the cold

shoulder out in the cold to leave someone out of a group activity or to be

left out you are not wanted you have been left out in a cold freeze frozen

when the level of something remains unchanged

it stays at the same level petrol prices have been frozen to put something on ice

to postpone something or delay it plans for the new supermarket have been

put on ice chill a slang word meaning to relax and take it easy you rest for a

while you chill out how do we express habits and actions using past tense this

question comes from Katrina who lives in the Ukrainian city of Edessa

when we talk about the things we have done in the past there are certain words

we must use to show that this is so using past tense may seem confusing but

we've practiced it is quite easy to mass that if we are talking about something

we did in the past but no longer do now then we say used to I used to travel by

bursts I used to belong to a rock band I used to trust you we are clearly showing

that something we did in the past is no longer done we can show that something

was done in the past for a certain period of time in this case we can use

did I did Yoga for a few months last year I did some voluntary work last

summer we used the word went when talking about

past movements or travel I went to Turkey for my holiday I went to visit my

friends in Scotland other words include always and half I always stay with my

family at Christmas I have always taken care of myself I have always been keen

on nature in these sentences we are showing that the habit is still

continuing right up until now

hmm just before I go back indoors to chip the ice off my knees I would like

to send a big special hello to all of my new friends on Facebook since the last

ask mr. Duncan I have had over 500 people join me on my page so hello to

all of you thank you also for the many kind messages concerning the 4th

anniversary of my teaching English here on YouTube I have to say that I would

never have made it this far were it not for all of you and your kind words of

encouragement and support so thank you for watching me teaching you during

these past four years and I promise to continue doing this for as long as you

want me to that is all from me for today look out for my next full lesson coming

your way very soon which will be lesson 60 Wow I look forward to seeing you all

again very soon this is mr. Duncan in a very chilly England saying thank you for

watching me answering you and of course tutor for now going right back in time

there - such a long time ago way back to 2010 did I look fat there I think I look

a bit fat in that video I know from time to time I did put a little bit of weight

on and then I went thin again but I look very fat in that video and can I just

say I remember when I made that particular edition of ask mr. Duncan I

had to go outside and carry everything out outside the place where I was

filming and it took me ages such a long time to set that up so there it was an

ask mr. Duncan lesson from 2000 and in 15 minutes we have mr. Steve coming

into the studio the big question of course what does mr. Steve do as his

main job he will be revealing it to us today he will show us exactly what he

does during the week when he's not he alive also a little bit later on we're

going out in the garden and we are also talking about autumn today I've had some

responses to the mystery idioms here they are again for those who missed them

well done we've had quite a few people sending their answers some of them are

correct and some of them are not correct Eliseo my gang maria zina and Olga have

all made guesses for today's mystery idioms and there is the second one but

what is it what are the mystery idioms today what exactly are they do you know

what they are there is the second one and there is the first one went again

we've had a few answers some of the answers are not correct and some of them

are I will of course reveal the answers later on just for you here's an

interesting word now this is a word that apparently a lot of people are looking

up on the Oxford University Press Dictionary the Oxford Dictionary of the

English language the online version lots of people are

looking at this word now for those who follow the news you will know that

Donald Trump used this word a couple of weeks ago and many people are trying to

find out what the word means so for those who don't know what this means

first of all it is pronounced dotard dotard and a dotard is an old person an

old confused worn out person so a person who Matt

might be old in the mind or might be very confused or just elderly can be

described as a dotard if I'm not mistaken I believe this is from

Shakespeare I think Shakespeare actually coined this particular phrase talking of

phrases and words we are going to look at abbreviations today with mr. Steve so

when mr. Steve joins us at 3 o'clock we are going to take a look at

abbreviations there are many different types of abbreviation we are going to

look at two types of abbreviations what else we'll be doing today oh we are

talking all about autumn would you like to have a look at another clip from my

autumn lesson this is a full length lesson all about autumn so what you are

seeing today are just short excerpts but you can watch the whole lesson

underneath this video the link is right underneath the video so what is autumn

do you like autumn have you ever experienced it

everyone has their own favorite season for me I have to pick summer as my

favorite closely followed by spring autumn and winter I would love to live

in a place that has long hot summers a sunny climate really does cheer the soul

but then I would find myself missing the unique sensation of walking out on a

snowy winters day so living in England gives me the chance to experience both

with spring and autumn added as a pleasant bonus do you have many seasons

in your country which one is your favorite so have you ever experienced

autumn maybe you don't have autumn where you are some countries are tropical they

are hot they have no autumn season they just have hot and wet hot and dry and

that's it but here in the UK we have four beautiful seasons I think my

favourite season must be autumn I also like winter I think winter is a very

interesting season as well although having said that the winters here are

not the same as they used to be I remember in my childhood this is

something we're going to talk about today

by the way childhood memories I remember that winter was always cold and there

was always lots and lots of snow but nowadays we hardly get any snow it

hardly ever snows during the winter in fact last winter we didn't really have

any snow very strange so I remember winter as being a very

cold very snowy and and it was lovely when you could stay in the house

and be warm and then you would go outside after the snow has fallen and

you would play in the snow very very nice so I like autumn but

which particular season do you like have you ever experienced autumn a lot of

people haven't thanks to Jamelia Jamelia has made

guesses for today's mystery idioms here they are once again for those who aren't

sure mystery idioms just say what you see and there is the second one I think

this one I think the first one is very easy I think this is very easy actually

and here's the second one mystery idioms but what are they if you

think you know just let me know I've just had a message come through

from let's see oh I think it's from Mika owed mr. Duncan I have many wonderful

memories of my childhood many wonderful memories of my childhood and also I have

many scary memories as well such as an accident when I was hit by a car or when

I lost my way on the way from a friend's house when you're a child now this is

something I definitely remember when you're very young everything seems so

big so huge I remember my garden at home now the

garden at the back of my house where I was raised

wasn't very large it isn't a very big garden but I always remember as a child

thinking that the garden was huge it seems so vast and and large I don't

know what it is when you are very small when you were tiny I think it must be

the scale because you're small and everything around you is big so

everything always seemed larger when you are small so imagine walking around the

streets when you're a child everything seems

so strange and you can get lost very easily so thank you Meeker for that one

of today's questions we're looking at your childhood memories do you have any

memories from your childhood a nice moment that you treasure if you treasure

something it means you keep it safe in your memory something that you enjoyed

or maybe a memory that you liked very much you can say that you treasure it

so treasure can actually be used as a verb so to treasure something is to have

it in a safe place something that you look back on with fondness you treasure

something you keep something safe you treasure it Den Tran a van mr. Duncan I

love Vietnam and I love everybody well I like your attitude that is a very good

attitude to have I think so semi a boss Kurt says today in Turkey we have a

rainy day but my favorite season is winter because it is so cozy to stay

near the fireplace I agree I think so and drink some hot coffee whilst

watching the TV Thank You semi semi boss Kurt for your message all the way from

Turkey I have been to Turkey I've been to Turkey twice and there is actually a

video lesson on my youtube channel with me in Turkey it's true long the doing is

here hello long Nigerian Eliana says I love autumn very much and I love it so

much that I'm traveling next October to the UK

Eliana is that true are you really coming here to the UK my goodness you

will have to look me up maybe we can have a cup of tea together

an English cup of tea that sounds like fun our new Jacque says my country has

four seasons I like autumn too I think autumn is a very magical time of year I

think so so I agree with what you say we were out

in the garden during the week we will take a look it's something that we did

earlier this week mr. Steve and myself we were very busy in the garden this

week and you will have mr. Steve here in just under four minutes four minutes to

go before mr. Steve arrives Olga is here thanks Olga for saying hello again the

winner is here hello the winner what is your what is your actual name though

because I do notice on the live chat lots of people use nicknames so

sometimes I'm very interested to know what your real name is so don't be shy

give it a try or else you'll make mr. don't could cry hmm

mr. Steve is just around the corner he will be revealing his job today what mr.

Steve does during the week when we are not on the livestream apparently I can't

believe this is this true apparently Olga says it is snowing today

in the place where I live Olga you are having snow it already I'm

a little bit jealous to be honest because we don't really get snow anymore

here in the UK it's not fair really Rosa is here Oh mr. Duncan I would like to

visit Island because my friend and her husband lived there Rosa Island is a

very beautiful place very scenic and the people there are very friendly indeed

zakura a beard Zachary's here we have force

seasons in Afghanistan thank you very much for that and a big hello to

Afghanistan Eliana I love autumn so much I think I've read this already

Eliana where will you be staying though where are you going to visit are you

going to visit London I think so I think Eliana will be going to London because

lots of people do visit London but I do hope that you get a chance to to explore

other parts of the UK as well because the UK is a wonderful place we will be

talking to mr. Steve about childhood memories but do you have any memories

from your childhood we will be sharing some nice memories and some not so nice

memories so mr. Steve will be here very soon and we will be talking all about

abbreviations as well do you know abbreviations abbreviations

when we abbreviate something it means we make it shorter so if you make something

short you abbreviate it you make it you make it shorter so you can say it faster

we normally abbreviate things to save time hi from Iraq I like winter

yes winter is a nice season but unfortunately we don't get snow anymore

here I think it might have something to do with global warming and not sure but

I think it might have something to do with it alvaro says hello mr. Duncan I

am watching you in Peru hi a big hello to Peru please say hello to Peru I just

did so mr. Steve is on standby lots of people love listening to mr. Steve they

say mr. Steve is very posh someone said earlier I can't remember who but someone

said mr. Steve mr. Steve sounds like the Queen

it does sound a bit like a queen doesn't it I mean the Queen yes I think you're

right there so here he comes mr. Steve is on the way it is now three o'clock

boys and girls so for all those out there for all those watching at the

moment for all of the thousands and thousands of mr. Steve fans your wait is

over

hmm can you see what it says there on the screen it says live English and that

is what it is it is live English on a Sunday afternoon

it's mr. Duncan that's me and also joining me right now in the the the

corner the dark corner of the studio hidden away from public view

it's mr. Steve oh my goodness you look very stern there mr. Steve what are you

doing mr. Steve Oh

mr. Steve please what mr. Steve what what was what was that what was that huh

what are you doing oh hang on I can't hear you well that's better

oh but what are you doing mr. Steve is now what we were doing today what were

we going to do is reveal your true job and and and actually we've just done it

and there it is mr. Steve is a professional grinder that's what I do

that's what he does all week so when he's not doing live streams he

is actually out and about in shropshire grinding things in fact he has his own

website don't you do I do you I'm sure you do you tell me that last week I do

have a website that is correct yes where you talk about your grinding mm well

there's lots of things that need grinding in your studio there's sort of

rough edges over everything are you going to grind something now no because

it's dangerous to do that in your studio hello everyone by the way if there are

any children watching do not try what mr. Steve just did do not play with

power tools do not do anything like that unless you are supervised by an adult

okay unless there is an adult supervising you you can just go crazy

and do what you want but unless there's an adult there I had my goggles on and I

also had my ear defenders can we have another look mr. Steve can we have a

look at your goggles down here so these are mr. Steve's goggle eyed goggles out

there my goggles goggles to keep me safe so that nothing flies into my eyes they

do suit you thank you they really suit you so those are called goggles do you

know you can also call glasses or spectacles as goggles informally so we

can use goggles to mean just normal glasses but those are protective goggles

protective goggles they protect your eyes

from dust and particles yes and what else what what's the yellow thing these

are to protect my ears against loud noises and I use these a lot ear

defenders you don't have to shout okay here - or ear protectors I use them when

I'm using anything that creates a lot of noise such as that grinder such as the

lawnmower or the strimmer or the hedge cutter because if you don't and you do

this for many years your ears will deteriorate and you'll be partially deaf

when you say your ears deteriorate do you mean the ears actually it's just

just just fall off there they know your hearing will deteriorate your hearing

will deteriorate or is deteriorate you see I thought you meant the ears

themselves on the outside I thought you said they just they just fall off or

something so so if you use a power tool something very noisy for a long time it

can affect your earrings just like if you are playing lots of loud music

through headphones they reckon that lots of young people now will be getting deaf

by a very early age because they're using lots of headphones with noisy

music it's all cumulative it's like going in the Sun if you go in the Sun

many times over lots of years your skin will get older and older and it's the

same with it's the same with loud noises you get ghost death straightaway happens

over many years so I always wear these and I'd love to wear them while you're

talking that's what I like to really put them on but you so you can't hear me is

that what you're saying are you telling me that you don't like the sound of my

voice because can I just say now you are not the first person to say that you're

not the first person and I'm sure you're not that you're not the last either so

here we go what are we doing today mr. Steve what what what what are we doing

well it's your show I'm not quite sure I just come along for the ride so I think

which I do you mentioned childhood memories we are talking about

childhood memories we've had one or two not many so if you have a childhood

memory of your own but we are going to talk about our childhood memories also

we are going to embarrass each other by showing pictures of us when we were

children would you like to see a picture of mr. Steve so so first of all I am

going to embarrass mr. Steve so here is the first picture this is mr. Steve I

think in this photograph you must be about five or maybe six I think you are

about six years old so here is mr. Steve yes oh my goodness I love that picture

isn't that just blue and you look so happy there I love I love the look on

your face you look very smug is that when I was a boy scout you are a boy

scout they're a boy scout yes Dib Dib Dib and I can see that your knees are

very dirty that's because I've been on my knees because you have to do lots of

things when you're a boy scout on your knees traveling around on your knees yes

doing well if you know gardening things like that ok the jobs that you have to

do you have to get all these badges don't you were you a boy scout mr.

Duncan I was a boy scout I didn't do it for very long and I will tell you why I

will tell you why I stopped being a boy scout because they used to take us

swimming on Saturday so every Saturday they would take us swimming and I hated

swimming I hate water I can't swim to this very day I can't even swim at all

so they took me swimming every Saturday and that's the reason why I stopped

being a Boy Scout I stopped doing it because I hated swimming I hated it so

much so I actually quit the Boy Scouts I stopped it I stopped going because I

didn't like the swimming did you sink like a stone when you went in the water

mr. Duncan I was very good at drowning so there is one thing that I did master

there is one thing that I was very good at when I was a child I was very good at

drowning I can just imagine now the the sports teacher having to drag you

out of the pool and and and pump your your lungs to get all that water out of

your lungs and then you had to be revived I can add you see the scene now

yes that there may have been some pumping taking place right so was that a

happy childhood memory or not very happy childhood

it's sort of an it in the in between really right okay

well sure we got off to a good start who the childhood memories by drowning in a

pool okay that okay okay they mr. Steve if you think you can do better than me

first of all let's have a look at one of me because we've had a we've had a

picture of mr. Steve when he was little so this is mr. Steve as a boy scout so

now we are going to have a look at me so this is me and I was aged around about

five or six as well so this picture is taken it around about the same age as

mr. Steve's Boy Scout picture and there I am oh it's me looking all lovely and

cute just like now what do you think mr. Steve do you like that photograph of me

you look like a girl very angelic it looks like you're about to do a ballet

pose or something yes that was taken during one of the many Christmas family

reunions that we had we always had little reunions at Christmas where all

the family would get together and there I am

you may notice two things about me there two things can you guess what they are

mr. Steve what are the two things that have changed well mentally you haven't

changed movies thank you very much yes you're still a child mentally physically

you've well you had more hair in that picture I can see that okay but what

else has changed you're taller you put on more weight you've lost hair and put

on weight okay then that's what I'm saying is something very obvious that's

different very obviously I can't see it from have

you got glasses on no ah that was before I started wearing glasses so this

picture was taken before I started wearing glasses

I didn't start wearing glasses until I was about seven seven years old so I

started wearing glasses when I was seven and that brings me to one of my

childhood memories in school now between you and me I must admit I didn't like

school very much I wasn't a big fan of school I hated it so much I was I was a

very timid child can you believe it no because in front of this camera you look

very outgoing I was very shy very timid when I was very very young very little I

was shy introverted I was I was an introvert as a child I wouldn't say

anything in class I was very shy you wouldn't say as the expression goes you

wouldn't say boo to a goose I wouldn't say boo to a goose I was so

shy and and one of the things that happened during my early school days was

I started to lose my eyesight I I realized that I couldn't see the

blackboard so what happened over a period of time I couldn't see the board

so when the teacher was writing things on the blackboard I couldn't see what

she was writing or what he was writing and so over time my education actually

suffered because of it this is true because I was so scared I was too afraid

to tell anyone that I couldn't see the blackboard anymore I was really really

afraid genuinely scared to tell anyone and this happened over a period of

months many many months and the teachers became very concerned and they wondered

why my education was was slipping why I seemed to be doing so badly in class and

the reason was because I couldn't see the blackboard so one day I told one of

the teachers that I couldn't see the blackboard so they gave me some help

in fact what they did what they did they

put me right in front of the blackboard so my desk was right in front of the

blackboard so the blackboard was was right in front of me so I was sitting

looking at the blackboard like that that must have been very embarrassing in

front of the rest of the class it was I had to sit in front of everyone in the

classroom really embarrassing it was a bit like being at the cinema when you're

on the front seat so when you have the front row in the cinema you can't see

the screen properly because you're so close so you have to look up in a

strange angle it's amazing isn't it these days you'd be able to sue your

teachers wouldn't you I think so if you were treated like that and that kind of

degrading way I would say it was quite degrading for you to have to sit in

class like that it wasn't fun all the other children but they I expect they

were laughing at you weren't they I think one or two of the other classmates

they were they were making fun yes I think he must have looked very strange

so mr. Steve let's remind ourselves of mr. Steve when he was little there he is

mr. Steve has a Boy Scout so can you give us one of your childhood memories

now mr. Steve one of my a nice childhood memory yes please well I would say I had

actually a very nice childhood I haven't really got many bad memories so dad used

to like driving a lot driving in cars he as his job for a living he had to drive

in his car a lot so even on holiday he would still want to keep driving and we

I grew up in the 70s the nineteen seventies and it was a fashionable then

if you lived in the UK to go abroad on holiday to Europe but to drive there so

you would put out like a GB sticker that's GB for Great Britain on the back

of your car you'd stick that on and then drive to the south coast to Calais a -

were to report Smith or somewhere like that Dover on the south coast and then

you would drive onto a ferry which in our case was quite often a hovercraft

because hovercrafts were quite fashionable modes of trans fats level at

a time you know what Steve I don't I don't remember the hovercraft ever being

fashionable yes it was that it was because if you are just hopping across

the English Channel which is about it about 30 miles it's not very far from

the English coast across to the French coasts so Dover to Calais is a popular

route to take on holiday ferries and the hovercraft they used to be lots of

programs about it was very exciting to go on a hovercraft I've become a

spaceship hovering craft is like a is it looks a bit like a car but it floats on

a big cushion of air let go because of those across the water very exciting I

don't think they use them so much now but so we used to go across in the ferry

would drive all the way through France we'd stop at various towns on along the

way sample the French cuisine and then we drove all the way to Spain on this

particular occasion and that was a lovely holiday and Astarte Astarte is

the name of the town we drove I can still remember that now and we had a

lovely holiday we all got sunburned of course as you do because we without

really have sunblock in those days

are we still on that is the question YouTube is now telling me that we are

off line but everybody is I don't know what's going on here YouTube is now

telling me that we are not broadcasting any longer but my everything else is

saying that we are Oh are we still on because I'm getting the red sign that's

saying that we are not on so are we on can someone please say that we are still

on broadcasting live I think we're back now yes like we're back that was nothing

to do with us we seem to have a little bit of a technical problem there mr.

Steve for some reason I don't know what happened there a YouTube problem not to

you let me just explain my screen went red which means that the connection is

lost but it would appear that people were still watching oh so I don't know

it's very strange but now it now it's gone green again so that means we're OK

I do apologize for that mr. Steve it's it's almost as if YouTube got bored of

your story it's almost like YouTube we're saying mr. Steve we don't want to

hear this is YouTube we don't want to hear about your story we're back again

okay so the short version is we drove all the way to the south coast of Spain

in a car that's the quick version if we hit a big bump on the way and the car

was a brand new car and we hit a big bump in the road because the roads in

Spain weren't very good at the time and we nearly wrecked the car okay

that's brilliant mmm that's a good memory a good memory a sort of because

of course I I think as I mentioned earlier I think maybe you are a little

bit Pacha than me because we didn't really go very far in holidays we never

went abroad because we couldn't afford it but of course you could be being posh

and everything living living in the Cotswolds as you did and what you used

to do is to let everybody know you'd been on holiday abroad in in those days

back in the 1970s is that you have because by law you had to put a big

sticker on the back of your cars that when you were driving in another

country people knew which country you were from but when you came back you

would leave it on for several weeks so that everyone would know that you'd been

on holiday abroad and it was like a it was like a a one-upmanship thing you

know tell the neighbors look we've driven abroad that's what we did in

those days you keep using phrases that people might understand one upmanship

one upmanship one upmanship yes oh that means that you're in a way you're

competing with your with your neighbors for example and you do one thing better

than them so if they hadn't been on holiday abroad in a car and driven

across the channel sailed across the channel you could say yes we've done

that and you're secretly sort of getting one over on them you're better you you

you're trying to be better than your neighbours or all your friends it's a

bit snooty it's not a very nice thing to do really because we were snooty posh

okay but I think one upmanship is like is like you you want to do something

better than someone else so you want to you want to do the so if one person goes

on holiday for a week you want to go on holiday for two weeks because then you

beat the thing that they did yeah one upmanship is almost like competing you

were always trying to compete or you are always trying to to beat the other

person yes so if your neighbor gets a a new car

that's one upmanship in a way it's a bit childish apologist once again because

YouTube it wasn't me YouTube had some strange little problem

they cut us off waiting during mr. Steve's story and then we suddenly came

back again so I do apologise for that it wasn't me it was YouTube I don't know

why I think YouTube is trying to sabotage me to be honest that they don't

like me very much anymore YouTube because I'm not sexy I think that's the

reason why they're only likes sexy people now on YouTube and because I'm

not very sexy they're just ignoring me so I think that's the reason why yes but

you've got me now yes that well that's the reason why I brought you in mr.

Steve you are here you want you you would be

brought in to bring some sexiness to the live stream Wow there you go that's why

you're here okay another one of my childhood memories let's have another

look at actually we've got some more pictures here we've got another one of

mr. Steve as a child we'll have a look at that in a minute okay

here's another one of me so this is a picture of me taken after I started

wearing glasses here it is oh my goodness so this is really me when I was

a kid a bit older I think I was about maybe 12 maybe 13 13 maybe 14 maybe

about 14 years old in this picture and as you can see I'm now wearing glasses

so there is a picture taken of me and another pic another memory that I have

mr. Steve is winner I started school when I first went to junior school on

the first day we all had to go into this big hall for assembly right

and I always remember one of my friends I remember his name Stewart no not to do

it it was Ross Ross Thomason was his name and he grabbed my shorts while I

was standing up and what he was trying to do is to get me to sit down

you can probably imagine what happened after that so he grabbed my shorts to

pull me down to sit but unfortunately I stayed standing and my shorts came down

I'm not joking this really happened on the first day of junior school nice

shorts mice wearing underwear I was so relieved we weren't that poor I know we

were poor but we weren't that poor I did have underwear when I was a child

fortunately so pulled the trousers down my shorts were pulled right down in

front of the whole school you're not going to recover from that

one quickly no I remember that forever no one is recovering from the

so you will notice that most of my childhood memories are not very good not

very happy so please mr. Steve give us a happy one

now Oh a happy memory while talking of being posh I suppose we were a bit posh

compared to a lot of a lot of our neighbors because that had a good job so

we used to play our garden we had quite a big garden yes and at the bottom of

that garden we put a tennis court oh can you believe it you had a tennis court at

the back tennis court you had a tennis court yes and a miniature little putting

green what well that's in green it means

nothing putting it's gold you know when people are playing golf and they they

hit the ball onto the onto the green where the whole rule is they they put I

just put the ball into the hole so it's like it's like golf but but in your back

garden that's right you're not doing that they're really long shots you know

200 yards shots you're doing that that just when it gets onto that nice smooth

green that's when you're just putting it so your garden wasn't that big it wasn't

that big no but it so easy to do that and we used to play another very posh

game called croquet croquet croquet I thought only the Queen of England played

croquet on the Lord was it Queen Victoria

I think Queen Victoria and I want to say so Walter Reilly was it so Sir Walter

Raleigh he actually introduced yes I think he introduced croquet - country am

i right I'm not sure about that but you know if

people don't know what croquet is you have a long clubs clubs with great big

sort of mallet like ends on them well I'm drawing a picture I was drawing a

picture there we go it's quite good at art so he should be able to do that and

you have hoops in the ground and a ball about that size and you have to put the

the club I don't what you could whether you call it a club through your legs and

push these balls through the hoops and very it's quite a posh game I don't

think you'd play it these days it's normally played by girls really let's

face it so hoops balls and like a mallet I think

you call it a mallet there we go I have my drawing this is my representation of

croquet probably better than my explanation there it is so you can see

you hit the ball and then the ball goes underneath that hoop it goes you you hit

it and then the ball goes underneath so that is called croquet yes

rote and it's played by posh people like like like mr. Steve on a nice summer day

and then you would have some soft drinks with ice in you would sit and relax then

you go and but it's not very competitive it's not like a very competitive sport

what's a soft drink Nitori is that is that lightly so what's

a hard drink that would be whisky vodka a soft drink would be orange squash oh I

see so a soft drink is non-alcoholic yes not a soft drink I would ever think you

would describe as non-alcoholic could be fizzy fizzy pop sometimes called orange

juice something like that and you would serve it in jugs with ice in it and

you'd sit down and drink some of that no oh we're having a lovely time let's go

and play croquet and then you would then you would spend half an hour just

banging these balls around through the hoops it's all all good fun but yes

traditionally played by people who come from posh background doesn't the next

thing you'll be telling me is that you have piano lessons oh yes I had piano

lessons and my sister used to have ballet lessons and horse riding of

course the thing is my dad worked quite late so when my sister had this is a bad

memory actually I've got a bad bad memory now my sister used to have ballet

lessons once a week but because it was sort of at five o'clock and my dad

wasn't home my mum used to take my sister but I had to go with with both of

them because otherwise I'd have been home

on my own which of course isn't a good idea so I used to Edward all the boys at

school used to see me going into where my sister was having a ballet lessons

and assumed I was having ballet lessons as well so you can imagine the ribbing

the jokes I used to get at school because they were convinced I was having

ballet lessons so your classmates used to pick on you

because they thought you have ballet lesson because it's nothing wrong with

there's nothing wrong with having ballet lessons if you're a boy or girl now

there isn't but there isn't but of course you will have the Mickey taken

out of you because what the Mickey jokes people will will make lots of jokes and

laugh at you and things like that though that's just what boys do they will make

fun of you they will make fun of you so if if one person makes fun of another

one they pick on them by making jokes against them yeah you can say they take

the mickey out of them that's I would love to know where that comes from by

the way I'd love to know where that came from

yes I don't know we have to look that one up okay well that's very nice now

another thing we're talking about today besides our childhood memories is also

abbreviations now when we talk about greevey ations

we talk about words that have been shortened or maybe we have shortened a

sentence so we make it easier to say and also quicker

so normally abbreviations are used to save time would you say that's true

that's right they used a lot these days aren't they they are and there is a

particular type of abbreviation in fact there are two that we are going to look

at today okay we have initial abbreviation do you know

what a what initial abbreviation is mr. Steve is that way you just use the first

letter of the word is that correct it is indeed yes okay we're gonna cut in

there I thought you was going to elaborate there with something else but

yes initial abbreviation means that you take the first

letter of the words in whatever it is you are abbreviating sometimes you don't

use all of the words but quite often you will use them so first of all we have

initial abbreviation abbreviations are very useful in grammar we also have

abbreviations in words we will sometimes shorten sentences and we call that

contraction so a contraction is when you shorten a sentence to make it easier and

quicker to say such as don't so do not becomes don't so that is a contraction

initial abbreviation takes as I said the first letters of the work we're going to

have a look at some now we're going to say have you got any examples mr. Duncan

I have we have some examples of initial abbreviations I want you to guess what

they are so we're going to go through these quite quickly

this could be embarrassing so here we go here is the first initial abbreviation

and feel free to join in everyone if you want to join in feel free don't google

it I think there is a serious problem by the way this afternoon with the live

stream there is a little bit of a problem with the connection but it isn't

my fault it is YouTube YouTube once again trying to

destroy my live streams I don't know why they hate me here we go here is the

first the first initial abbreviation I think this is a very good one for us

there's the first one I can't see it v.i.p

the IPV IP ah that's you mr. Duncan a very important person oh that's very

kind of you but of course YouTube doesn't think that I'm very important

they don't like me whatsoever but yes you are right VIP mean

a very important person VIP or as they say in Hollywood is as they say in

Hollywood for some of the famous film stars very impotent person that's a

different thing altogether that's a different thing altogether

here's the second one I hope you're enjoying this please I'm right along at

home if you are playing along at home please let me know what you think it is

hung Nguyen says how what are the differences between I have little hope

and I have a little hope little hope is no hope if you have a

little hope it means you have some so little is normally a very small amount

or all or almost nothing and a little means you have some so you have little

hope of finding your dog that means you have virtually no hope but if you say

you have a little hope it means there is some hope I hope that helps you so here

we go another abbreviation mr. Steve okay I'm ready with my pen because I

need to write this down M P mm I'll write M P yes should know what that is

at least in the UK its Member of Parliament

Member of Parliament yes quite often we call a person who sits in Parliament the

government here in the UK for example yes we will call them an MP m P which is

an abbreviation of member of Parliament's you are right yes Member of

Parliament these are easy mr. Duncan well maybe for

you maybe for you they're easy because you have a slight advantage you see

because you've been teaching sorry talking English I've been teaching

English and you you've been talking in English so we both have an advantage

here is another one d n d DN d DN DND I sometimes put this on my studio

door to keep mr. Steve away well that's yes oh do not disturb there

it is yes D and D means do not disturb you find this a lot of work because

there's a lot of Technology work these days and you find that a lot of that

technology is often abbreviated and at work you tend to find this is people

talk in these kind of almost talking about they're just totally letters all

the time and you wonder what they're talking about is jargon jargon unless

you're in on what the jargon is and what all these abbreviations are you can get

a bit lost so jargon when we say jargon we mean

technical speak or words that are specific for one thing jargon so you can

say computer jargon so computer jargon is something that only people who know a

lot about computers will understand here comes another one now right how are we

doing for time twenty about twenty two maybe twenty three minutes to go

here is another one mr. Duncan this is just for you because we know you like

cars I'm not sure if you like this particular car right B M W oh yes BMW a

German car good quality sporty that I think it stands for Bavarian motor works

I heard that you don't like BMWs mr. Steve is that true no I do I do I've got

a certain image but they're good cars you can't you can't not BMWs and they

are very sporty of course that's their image good handling ok mr. Steve is is

turning it to Jeremy Clarkson this afternoon so BMW yes is it is it

Bavarian motor works yes it is BMW Bavarian motor works glad I got that one

right that is the initial the initialization

of BMW Bavarian motor works okay one more very across being a region in

Germany bavette oh really Bavaria well I'm not sure exactly but it

refers to the very abjure is a region in Germany I think you'll find it is that's

anybody in in Germany watching would maybe outer correctors or give us the

correct explanation of that mr. Steve wants to know where Bavaria is it

definitely in Germany but I'm not sure whether it's referred to as Bavaria now

whether it was referred to Bavaria many years ago so that would be

interesting to know Tomic says Bayern bayern not bayern it is Bavarian motor

works Bavarian motor mania here's another one mr. Steve now this is this

is an interesting one especially if you're talking about technology as you

were just l-e-d so that is an abbreviation LED LEDs lots of talk about

LEDs this these days LED televisions LED headlights that's on cars on cars I've

got cars and again there it's light emitting diode light emitting diode emit

what does emit mean gives off give off yes if you give off something normally

light or sound we can say you are emitting so there it is yes LED stands

for light emitting diode there it is diode being a small electronic device

yes and you put electricity through it it gives off light many cars now have

LEDs on their headlights they do they used to be expensive used to have

ordinary a sort of halogen bulbs or tungsten bulbs then you went on on to

LED bulbs now which are well they're not bulbs as such they're actually they're

it's a separate thing altogether so they're very bright they used to be very

expensive but now Zen on that was what I was

thinking of xenon bulbs they were very bright bulbs on car headlights but now

you've got LEDs which are even brighter and I think the last a very long time

okay well you would know about it because you are a bit of an expert on

course besides being a grinder so mr. Steve knows a lot about grinding but he

also knows a lot about cars as well elke Noah says in German it's a Bey rich

Berek Berek mater enough okay ah right okay so that's what BMW actually is in

German so it's just what we call it in the UK so we simplify it you see right I

see thank you very much elke for that thank you

here comes another one this is one that we will recognize b b c BBC BBC yes this

is known throughout the world as an impartial broadcasting organisation it's

the British Broadcasting Corporation I'm not sure about impartial but but uh some

people think that I should be on the BBC I think I would be very good on the BBC

hello this is the BBC Radio 4 and now it is time for the shipping forecast did

you like that it's okay what is Pasha's you of course you know I

would be incredibly posh on the baby's here of course these days you have

regional accents now we don't speak proper English all the time on the BBC

you can come on with any old accent now with that yeah right yeah right yeah

coffee BB goob yeah yup cool flips Selly Oak yokel from spork Hill this is this

is a radio for mixture of accent fair but did you like that was Birmingham

accent that was leave my accents alone that is Liverpool there as well I think

so BBC what does BBC stand for mr. Steve British Broadcasting

corporation the British Broadcasting Corporation is the BBC let's have a look

shall we ding British Broadcasting Corporation is

the BBC yes a place where I would love to work but they don't want me because

I'm not posh enough I think mr. Steve mr. Steve would get

onto the BBC I think so so another one there's more there's more

but we have about let me just see how many we have we have about three three

more and then we will say goodbye we will look at a couple of more pictures

we've got two more pictures of mr. Steve when it was little oh well actually

there's one of me and there's one of mr. Steve so that still to come so here we

go another one this might not be from you but I won't use it anyway go ahead

see I a the CIA oh yes CIA NRS is American this is the Central

Intelligence Agency CIA was that your Birmingham accent that was my attempt at

a southern American accent Central Intelligence Agency touch you threw it

out there you certainly did I know I know I'm throwing it away here you go

then yes famous intelligence organization so in America what is it

then tell us again what it is it's the Central American Central Intelligence

Agency I've said it three times already yes but I wants it again I wants it in

your normal voice and in an American accent central intelligence agency and

the British central intelligence agency now Welsh let's move on shall we don't

you do a Welsh accent I thought you were an actor not just

quickly like that how about I've got one for you which is related to this

what about KGB okay gee behaved g/b yes well I haven't got that one KGB

so what does the KGB stand for now sounds it sounds like something very

old-fashioned and dated it sounds like we're going back to the to the 1950s in

the 1960s during the Cold War so the K G B I haven't got that one by the way I

don't have it here so K G B what does that stand for what does it stand for

what I want in Russia watching we want to know we know it's the the the Russian

intelligence agency equivalent to the CIA good America how do you pronounce it

it when Russia stand for what does it mean okay g/b ooh interesting i hope

someone answers that because i i'm now scratching my head wondering as well

both in england we've got the mi5 mi5 what does that stand for again no idea

we don't know I don't think anyone does anyone know what mi files are you just

going to keep mentioning things that we don't know the answer to yes I just

thought I would completely the talking about intelligence agencies around the

world and they're all obviously abbreviated so Galina says Galina says

KGB but we want to know what KGB stands for so we have the initials KGB yes but

what does it mean what does it stand for he's either one why don't we found

Vladimir Vladimir Putin and ask him he might be able to tell us what we have to

do first is ask Donald Trump yeah there we go

FBI this is linked to the last one ah f.b.eye all right well this is a

American again Federal Bureau of Investigation or investigation the

Federal Bureau of Investigation so what is the difference between FBI and CIA is

there a difference I'm not sure I think I think FBI is more to do is sort of

what happens just in America itself it's more like an extension of the police

force I think whereas I think CIA is more to do with

spying and looking all around the world I think I think I might be correct in

that Simona has actually told us what KGB stands for right I'm not sure if I'm

going to be able to read this because it is in Russian call me Ted

Gus door Vannoy Bissell has not nice D well we learn here that pronounced

correctly come it tipped ghost or VAD Vinny oi

Bissell best soap but what does that mean it has must be I haven't finished

yet please let me finish it's very long

there are lots and lots of letters in this we haven't got much time mr. Duncan

Simona thank you very much for that I hope I pronounced that right er I'm

probably going to get into big trouble now because of that big big trouble I

don't know about YouTube cutting me off either I think maybe maybe the KGB will

be cutting me off it sounds very painful here we go so FBI

we've had that one and finally we have one more and then we're going to look at

something different e u our EU EU

well that's very topical in this part of the world at the moment European Union

European Union I want to see European Union yes European Union the thing that

we will be leaving very soon the UK is leaving the e u-- leaving we

are saying goodbye that's what's happening at the moment i think it might

take forever for us to actually leave but it is happening albeit very slowly

let's not get into that so let's let's have a look at a different type of

abbreviation we also have something called an acronym acronym do you know

what an acronym mr. Steve that is that I'm trying to

describe it that would be the letters of something you want to describe but it

forms a word of its own yes that's quite accurate yes so an acronym is the

abbreviation but the BRE abbreviation actually creates a new word and I will

give you some examples right now so what we just described then those didn't

describe words no they are initials so that's why you say the initial words so

they don't form word but an acronym is an abbreviation that actually forms an a

word itself yes so you take the initials but the initials actually spell a word

and we are going to have a look at one right now here we go

OPEC OPEC OPEC is that a word it is it's what it is it is it is it is the thing

we were just talking about it sounds like something that sounds up what we

were just doing before so this is actually an acronym right okay then it's

something to do with Europe no I don't know I can't think what OPEC stands for

it's the oil-producing countries isn't it that's it you are near very good yes

OPEC it is an acronym organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries that's

a big one right so that's that's why instead of instead of that they say that

OPEC it's much easier to say so there is a good example of an acronym much better

much easier to say another one here's one you might know mr. Steve NASA NASA

NASA NASA I'm writing it down that's that's obviously the Space Agency in

America but I can't think what the end in the a stands for North American Space

Agency something like that some people actually think that's what necessary is

is interesting a lot of people think that it is

North America space-age it isn't is it nautical America sometimes with nautical

aviation something like that it's more yes I'm on the right track you were on

the right track you are you're clear for takeoff

three two one ah right okay so it's actually connected to to the maybe the

Air Force and you know in America I don't I give you the answer because

we're running out of time quickly National the National Aeronautics and

Space Administration is more nessa stands for national aeronautics so

everything to do with flying flying around or flying into space I'm glad you

gave it that demonstration what flying is like yes I just like nobody knows

what flying you I just like waving my hands around mr. Steve that within the

near bow we're off to Mars apparently in 2020 I would never lose this way to Mars

next week haven't you heard that you can actually get an uber now uber have

started doing taxes to Mars did you know that so so forget about Elon Musk you

don't need him you just just call an uber you just go to your phone and say

hello uber can I have a taxi to Mars it will take about 68 years but you will

get there finally here is the one that most people know I think you saw this

earlier I accidentally held it up by the way so most people have seen this

already today here it is laser Oh Laser laser is the

most famous acronym so most people know all about this acronym but what does it

stand for I only know the first I can never

remember the whole thing it's that it starts off light amplification yeah but

I don't know the rest of it okay Laser laser anybody know what laser stands for

so that is it it is a very well known acronym and of course laser is like a

laser beam in case you didn't know what laser or a laser gun like in Star Wars

so there it is laser the answer is light amplification by stimulated emission of

radiation that is what the acronym laser stands for light amplification by

stimulated emission of radiation so there are two the law and that is the

final one there is one more that some people think that this is an acronym I'm

going to show you it now but it isn't Brix it some people think that brexit is

an acronym but it isn't no brexit is actually what we call blend word so you

blend you take two words and you mix them together so Brix it the thing that

we are doing at the moment very slowly actually is British exit so

you take part of one word and you join it to another word so British exit is

brexit there we go we are going out in the garden now would you like to hang

around for a few moments mr. Steve yes certainly yeah now going outside we did

a big job in the garden this week didn't we we went outside and we did a big job

I was exhausted afterwards I was really tired I don't know about you but

whenever I do a big job I always feel very exhausted just like I was at the

end of last week's show so this is something we were doing during the week

we're gonna have a look and then mr. Steve and myself will come back and we

will say goodbye so this is something we were doing earlier in the week

oh hello mr. Steve hello there mr. Duncan and hello everyone watching out

there in YouTube land we are out in the garden it's a beautiful evening it's a

little bit chilly but we are out here for a special reason because we are

going to cut down the dung Kilis the big dunk ulis that is growing at the moment

in the garden so what are we going to do mr. steve well the full name of the

plant is a car dunk ulis and of course we bought this particular plant because

it's got a mention of your name in it so car dunk ulis sounds like Duncan which

is of course your first name I actually spotted this plant in the shop I said to

mr. Steve I said look mr. Steve this plant is called

car dunk ulis and my name is Duncan so I couldn't resist I said to mr. Steve I

said let's buy one and then we can have a dunk ulis growing in the garden

yes mr. Duncan you wanted to have a plant in the garden

that sounded like it was named after you what an ego of course I couldn't resist

buying it because it's called car dunk ulis and my name is Duncan mr. steve is

busy pulling up the sticks that have been holding up the dunk ulis for so

long come on mr. Steve give it a good pull there it goes you're very good at

this

you can see mr. Steve is thinking about it will he be able to carry out this

huge task because of course this is a very big plant look at the size of it so

what do you think mr. Steve do you think you'll be able to do it yes this plant

needs chopping down because it's dies off in the winter and therefore if we

leave it out it won't look very nice because you can see the one behind is

already dying off this is what you call a perennial plant which means that it

dies off during the winter months and comes back again in the spring so this

plant will kind of regenerate itself yes so this plant here will die off so we

will cut it away and then next year a new plant will reappear as if by magic

it's grown this height in one growing season and the new baby plants are

already present at the base that's incredible can you see this particular

thing here mr. Steve it is called a capitulum or as it's more commonly known

a flower head

careful mr. Steve we wouldn't want that big plant to fall on your head

so mr. Steve will now put all of the bits of the dunk ulis into the wheelie

bin I must admit this is turning out to be a very busy evening

job done and there it is already you can see next year's car dunk Ulis growing

and a year from now we'll be cutting this one down I hope you enjoyed that we

were very busy in the garden during the week incredibly busy preparing for the

cold months because the cold months are on the way aren't they mr. Steve they

are yes time to wrap up warm put your woolly hat

on in your scarf and put the heating on light the fire oh I'm looking forward to

that there's nothing nicer I was I was actually talking about this earlier

because because our winters here in the UK aren't is cold or as horrible as they

used to be we used to get lots of snow when we were young we used to have

lovely winters where we could go out and play in the snow but these days we don't

get any doing I don't think we've had snow for about four years that's

incredible I know so hopefully this winter we will

have a lot of snow and then we can do a live stream outside in the snow that

would be amazing that would be like a dream come true

if we could do that we can have a snowball fight live on air okay I've got

a leaf on my hat wait there see autumn autumn is here you see that's the reason

why there are leaves falling everywhere it's almost time for us to go can you

believe how fast it's gone today before we go here's another picture of mr.

Steve now this is one that I know that you are very fond of you you are very

fond of this picture so here it is this is mr. Steve with his little dog what

was your dog's name my dog's name was a Toby Oh Toby and I was probably

about 15 there I would say 15 or 16 I think really 15 you look maybe younger

were you I was a late developer as it were so there is and that is that your

big big garden you were telling us about that's part of it yeah so where's the

tennis court it was in front of me on if you look at that picture it would be in

front of me so that's that's part of your big garden but we had all the big

stars coming to play on our tennis court Billie Jean King that bit the big stars

are you sure the big stars from the 1970s I'm joking I think you're lying

definitely do you want to see one last picture and this is this is a picture of

me with my mum and this isn't I think this is the most embarrassing photograph

that I have of me do you want to see now a lot of people don't believe just how

thin how skinny I was when I was little when I was young so here is a photograph

I must have been around 15 15 years old when this was taken

so here I am with my mum prepare for something very unusual so this is me

with my mother so there I am on the left and look how thin I am look how skinny I

was I was so thin Hey I it looks as if I I haven't been eating for many weeks but

I used to eat all the time in fact I used to eat so much food I used to eat

chocolate I used to go to the shops and I used to go home with loads of

chocolate I used to go into my bedroom in eat tons and tons of chocolate and

there I am so I was about 15 maybe even getting on for 16 when that was taken

but look there's my lovely mum my mummy and this was taken in

week thanks for your company before I go of course we have the answers to the

mystery idioms the first one lots of people got this right shoot yourself in

the foot to shoot yourself in the foot the meaning to accidentally make a

situation worse for yourself you bring a problem on yourself through

stupidity you shoot yourself in the foot and the second one many people got this

right as well push or pushing up the daisies pushing up the daisies meaning

the meaning is an idiom that means to be dead

and bear it we can describe a dead person as pushing up the daisies so

autumn serves as a reminder to us all that everything has a pattern, a beginning and an end the seasons come and go even in places

where those changes are very subtle but exist they do even in our lives there

are seasons a time to grow a time to blossom a time to live

and a time to die these changes have and always will decide how things must be

autumn's fall and winter's chill will choose the fates of you and me.

Unforgettable TV Moments That Were Never Supposed To Happen - Duration: 4:04.

Some of the most memorable moments in recent TV history weren't even planned, but were

instead born from inspired, improvised moments between gifted actors.

They may have felt too perfectly placed to be off-the-cuff, but here are a few genuinely

unscripted exchanges that took viewers — and producers — totally by surprise.

And we're not making this one up on the spot: there are definite spoilers ahead.

Stormborn smooch

Game of Thrones is a very expensive, obsessively examined show, so it makes sense to assume

every moment must be scripted to the letter.

However, as it turns out, there's some room for flexibility on the series.

In the season 7 episode "Stormborn," Yara Greyjoy and Ellaria Sand get to know each

other a little better — before being interrupted by an attack …

"Seems like you don't need a protector."

Actress Gemma Whelan, who plays Yara, revealed after the episode aired that the kiss wasn't

scripted, saying that it, quote, "just seemed like something we should do."

Moira knows best

Many fans were left heartbroken when Oliver's mother Moira bit the dust on The CW's Arrow.

Moira sacrificed her life for her children, and moments before getting a sword through

the chest, she pleaded with her daughter to look away ...

"Thea, I love you!

Close your eyes, baby!"

"No!"

Actress Susanna Thompson later revealed that plea was actually improvised: she came up

with the "close your eyes" comment as a way to bridge the gap between Moira telling Slade

to let her children live and her actual death.

Executive producer Marc Guggenheim ended up loving the line, so it made the final cut.

Poppins improv

Happy Endings was a joke machine in its three seasons on ABC.

With a naturally hilarious cast, it makes sense some of those jokes would be improvised

— including a small but fun moment featuring a Mary Poppins reference from Jane, played

by Eliza Coupe...

"Why is it so freezing in here?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask 'tuppence a bag'?"

Coupe was referencing her husband, played by Damon Wayans Jr., whose cologne attracts

pigeons.

The actress was surprised to see that people on Twitter noticed and appreciated the relatively

obscure joke, which is a reference to the "Feed the Birds" scene in the Disney classic.

"Feed the birds.

Tuppence a bag."

Off on the right foot

Arthur was never a great friend to Merlin while starring on the character's namesake

BBC One series, but the two did have fun messing with each other on the show — just as the

actors did behind the scenes.

According to actor Bradley James, the scene in which his Arthur rubs his foot on Merlin's

face in season one after a sweet bonding conversation was actually just him messing with actor Colin

Morgan, but it ended up making it into the final cut.

James revealed on the DVD commentary that that was his "favorite bit" of the episode,

but that he didn't do it in rehearsals.

Cry baby

There were a lot of heartbreaking moments in Breaking Bad over the years, but one of

the biggest tearjerkers came when Walt's baby daughter Holly started calling out for her

mother after her father abducted her.

"Won't that be nice, Holly?"

"Mama!

Mama.

Mama."

But that's not how the scene was planned.

During the bathroom scene, the little actress saw her real mother just a few feet away,

and ended up calling out to her.

Credit goes to actor Bryan Cranston for rolling with it, because the moment ended up being

an instant classic.

Fruit of his labor

Even if you only watched Psych intermittently, you know how important pineapples were to

the show.

As it turns out, the whole thing started thanks to an improvisation from Psych star James

Roday.

"Ooh!

Should I slice this up for the road?"

Roday was so enthusiastic about the joke that the producers felt like he just had to keep

it in, and it spiraled out from there: One of the tropical fruits appeared in almost

every episode of the series, in addition to featuring prominently in its marketing over

the years.

Someone in chat just said "the stream is gonna make me angry as shit"

YES IT WILL

*scoot*

Unless it is the blood of his- his victims

Oh that would be so awesome!

*pain*

Oh god...

Ah!

A heart attack, or the opposite of a heart attack

An Aligasm

Alligator Aligasm? Not good, I tried

Pft!

I broke shootbike

But that's okay

Extra life? Oh I kinda really want that extra life now

Ah!

Wasn't worth it

To get up that hill with the bike press "dash" and nothing else, that's a good strategy, thank you

*sigh*

Speaking of not a good idea

THAT is the heart of the level

I Have to be a Cheesy Easy Cheese McNuggot here

If I am to be successful in this fight

Oh my god, this- this really is how I have to do this fight

Oh!

And I still almost died :D

Dr. Cain, I've got to get Zero's parts back

At any cost!

I'd imagine Mega Man X sounds something like that

So Zero's in parts

I'm gonna put like...

Zero's legs

Where the arms should be

As a good friend would

Yeah... Cheesy on my Peeny I don't think I'm getting up there

Oh! Oh Come on!

Oh!

I sa- I- Mmm...

And that's exactly why I shouldn't say Cheesy on my Peeny, because when I do

The video game kills me

Wow that was a stunlock

Towards the corner?

Seems jape like

How are this many people- ?

I mean it looked like I used the wheel almost everywhere

Since the first foreground...

This is the second one

Oh But not he- Oh shit!

Yeah that- that's really fake

Anyway, thanks for the help chat

I'm sorry I thought it was japes, but you can understand why I thought it was japes

So this is how you avoid getting caught

You get caught

Also here's that 3D effect I was telling you about earlier, that's used-

Definitely, not a gimmick or anything like that

I can just imagine the commercial for this game

So much Grafix your body will a fuck- will explode!

Nintendi

Everyone's gonna be like "Wow who's- who is that? Which designer made that hoodie?"

And you'll be like "You know, Vinesauce"

And then they immediately disown you as a friend

Alright, so

Not sure what the fuck I have to do here, but I'm gonna assume

It involves...

Guh!

Um, oh that was

Was nice of the game to put me here

Agh!

Aw Really?

How many burritos do you think you can eat?

Hootey what the hell man?

Hootey I've known you for six years, five or six years now and

That's the least expected chat contribution, I've seen yet

Probably just one, probably just one

You're not like challenging me right? That's not a challenge

xD

Full restore, at least

Sponge is last

Do you think Spon- ah Wire Sponge is sad that I chose him last?

♪ Being a Sponge ♪

♪ Fucking suuucks ♪

Welcome

To hell

This arm really wants to get rid of me

Stop

Stop *giggle*

Oh boy, what's this gonna be?

Oooh boy...

Ngh!

Oh this- this sucks

Vinny what part of Boston do you live in? *giggly giggle*

I'm a Southie

So, let me show you what it takes to get Dragon Punch

It's not hard

looks hard to me

*scoot intensifies*

*scoot intensifies too much* D:

The true test

As long as you don't do any stupid extraneous movement, like I was doing before

And there it is, Dragon Punch

Wait a minute

Where is it?

You need full HP

Wot?

Wot?

No

No no no

Wait a minute

Wait what the fuck is going on here?

Vinny I thought you were swedish, alright-

You got to be fucking with me by now

The game is japing me?

Is it- is it really?

Cause I don't fucking remember being japed by the game

And why did they reuse this stage?

I'm wondering if this was just laziness or there's some like thematic reason...

Oh my god

Alright here it is, Zero fight

Jump over the initial shots, and then try to do a Shoryuken

That's gonna be

That's not gonna happen

Oh fuck you're in me

He's in- guys he's in me! I don't know what to do

This is bad. This is bad

Please do not kill

FUCK!

I don't want Sigma to be inside...

Felt weird saying that

It's a weird thing to say I don't like it

Here we go

Nice son!

Uuuh yeah! That's a good way to end the game

And time

What?

The Prince of Peace is often high

Sorry, the price of peace! Is often high, X thinks to himself

I was gonna say, who's the Prince of Peace? And why is he high?

Do you think that you made more people cunts because of you?

That's uh, that's a really good burn

That's actually a really, like

Well disguised

Sick burn

I'd like to hope not

Welcome to my kitchen! My name is Gala

baked chicken livers recipe

this recipe is so easy to make

if you not an experienced cook, no problem!

First, I washed liver and dry with paper towels.

Next step, remove sinew and everything what is not liver.

Important to remove bile and bile spots!

Because if you don't remove bile, your dish will be very bitter.

I greased pan with butter and little vegetable oil.

The liver have very mild and pleasant taste

after we soak it in milk.

I am adding fresh grounded black pepper

and all spices.

Very important! Don't add salt now!

Because when livers cooked, they will be nor soft.

Don't trow away hard end of onion, you can use it in stock or broth.

Store it in plastic bag and use in 1-2 days.

I coated onion with a flour

and saute in mix of butter and vegetable oil.

When my onion done,

I add spices, salt and sour cream.

I saute my sauce in low heat

approximately 20 minutes

by the point it has pleasant sauce taste

not taste like raw sour cream

Now time to check our dish for

for salt and spices

add how much you need

but remember, don't worry about livers

livers will be soak in the sauce for 20 minutes

and will get more salt in

The liver comes our so soft!

LEGO Just DEMOLISHED Scalpers! - Duration: 1:31.

Hello just2good here,

and LEGO just did some that will tick off so many scalpers and LEGO resellers.

And I apploud them for it.

So, in November 2016, LEGO had a grand opening in the United Kingdom for a Leicester Square

brand store.

At this grand opening,

they gave out a special numbered figure - Lester.

Lester has an exclusive face and torso print, and only 275 were made.

Now, that's a smaller number than the 5000 Mr. Gold produced.

In a way, this Lester minifigure WAS much more rare than Mr. Gold.

Like, the most recent eBay sale was one of them for over two thousand dollars.

Well, this weekend, in LEGO brand stores in the UK,

that very same minifigure has shown up as a polybag for six pounds.

This image is from the eBay seller robinaldinho1999 who is still selling them on eBay for about

forty dollars.

Look, in a way that's still scalping, but gosh,

LEGO really demolished those scalpers who got one of the 275

that were available at the Liecester Square grand opening.

In a way, I think this is a good thing to stick it to these people

who get a collector's item just to resell it for insane amounts.

I wanted this figure before I knew how rare it was because I love the face print,

so I'm glad I can finally get it for a relatively cheap price.

In other ways, it is a little unfair for LEGO to number the minifigure

as if it's limited edition and exclusive to that one release,

just to release it in a polybag.

I can understand why actual collectors would be ticked off -

heck, if they reprinted Mr. Gold, who I own, I would most likely be livid.

I dunno.

What do you guys think?

Is this a fair re-release?

Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

I'll see you guys later, peace out, bye.
