it's so sad to lose Professor Steven Hawkings yes it's very very sad news
this morning I woke up to as many people did to the very sad news that professor
Stephen Hawking died in the early hours of this morning and many people were
offering their tributes I suppose not everyone not everyone will be familiar
with his work but he he was a guy who studied the cosmos he asked all of the
big questions he was never afraid to put his opinion across he was
intrigued by the universe he was equally intrigued by how we got here where it
all came from so he was a guy who liked to look at the beginnings of not only
mankind but also the universe itself so yes very sad news this morning professor
Stephen Hawking's there we go I will put his name up just to allow me to make my
little tribute so yes very sad news a guy who studied black holes for many
years and also talked about the way in which the universe is changing and why
it is changing and as I mentioned just the biggest question of all where did it
all come from
there are Thunderbolts and lightning at the moment in Buenos Aires Wow Belarus
yeah it sounds like you are having some very dramatic weather there at the
moment I'm being distracted tonight because there are some lady birds flying
around my studio so if I seem a little distracted now and again it's because
there are lots of tiny lady birds I don't know where they've come from but
they're everywhere the house is full of lady Birds mr. Duncan how are you
Sakura Dean I am okay thank you very much not too bad

Thank You Swan for that hi mr. Duncan how are you emoji F I'm
okay thank you very much and here we go again it's another live stream and it is
late and live some people have asked mr. Duncan why do you do this late and live
stream the reason why I do it is to allow other people in other parts of the
world in different time zones to have a chance to join in with my live streams
so that's the reason why this particular live stream is late as you can see it is
just coming up to ten minutes past 10:00 at night all of my neighbors are now
asleep in their beds but here I am standing here in my studio talking to

hello mr. Duncan I'm watching you from Barcelona you are a great teacher it's
always nice to see you and mr. Steve yes mr. Steve he will be live tonight at the

people think there's something wrong with me anyway
hi mr. Duncan from humble hello humble I've never seen you here before is it
your first time on the live chat if it is say hello Larry
mr. Duncan what is your preference Chelsea or Arsenal can I just say
neither neither I don't follow football to be honest we
don't know the time of our funeral and everything oh yes okay then thank you
Mohammed for that read read my message mr. Duncan Horatio
please read my message Horatio I am reading your message right now
Zef says yes I am very sad for Stephen Hawking he was a very good example of
how to live your life and we should be happy for his legacy yes he allowed us
all to open more our minds to open our minds and explore the universe we are so
small have you noticed that have you ever seen a photograph of the Earth
taken from another planet and the earth is so tiny it's it's just like a little
tiny speck of dust and we are all living on that tiny speck of dust we are so
tiny we are so small I am NOT a stranger I am in Korea and it is after seven
o'clock in the morning thank you humble thank you very much and a big hello to
Korea not many people talking about career at
the moment because most people are talking about Russia for various reasons
it seems as if we've all forgotten about North Korea most people at the moment
are talking about Russia hello mr. Duncan I'm always here I like
to hear you Stefan oh hello Stefan oh I haven't seen
you for a while Spring has definitely come says Mika odd because the Japanese
apricot blossoms are now in full bloom and of course you have the Cherry
Blossom Festival in Japan I have one just one cherry blossom tree in my
garden and every year I get very excited when the cherry blossoms come out but
the problem is they only last for a very short time so as soon as the weather
changes if it gets cold suddenly or if the temperature drops suddenly all of
the lovely cherry blossom falls off so yes I love the cherry blossom as well I
love it when it all comes out it looks amazing but sadly my garden doesn't look
quite as impressive as the cherry blossom injured
I know it's a very good it's a very big time of the year
nice to see you mr. Duncan squeeee Internet hello hello squinter net I love
your name by the way hello mr. Duncan it's me Peter from
Brazil the police one hello Shira Blade and hello to Peter to give you your
proper name mr. Duncan hello from London ello ello
it's mr. Duncan yeah he's in land hello mr. Duncan from London I just
wonder why you are not talking about my favorite program Come Dine With Me Julia
do you watch that I used to watch it many years ago I used to watch Come Dine
With Me it's a kind of competition where people make meals for each other and
then they all have to give each other points on how good the meal was so yes I
used to watch it but I don't watch it anymore
I don't really watch much television these days to be honest because I spend
most of my time here on YouTube I don't have much time really to watch TV
Daniella hello I've never been on this channel where do you live mr. Duncan
hello Daniela Daniela media I live in a lovely little place called Much Wenlock
which is in England and that is where I am broadcasting live to you now I'm
broadcasting to you live from England I will do my best to talk about William
Shakespeare I mean I will unleash my skills Thank You Mohammed for that yes
here in the UK it is Shakespeare week every year all of the schools around the
UK they have a special week where they talk about William Shakespeare they go
around to different schools lots of experts about the works of William
Shakespeare they visit schools and give talks to the students
and of course they encouraged the students the young students to read
Shakespeare and it is hard to appreciate just how much influence William
Shakespeare has had on the English language really even to this very day
six hundred years ago William Shakespeare was writing his plays and
his sonnets and six hundred years ago to this very day William Shakespeare has
shaped the way in which English is used so here in the UK at the moment it is
Shakespeare week and I thought later on after mr. Steve arrives I thought we
would have a look at some words some phrases that were created by William
Shakespeare and they are used in English right now mr. Duncan I am from Turkey
and I love you so much Burke ods oh can I hope I pronounced
your name right Berg aza can and a big hello to you in Turkey I have been to
Turkey I have visited Turkey twice I even made a video lesson I actually
recorded a lesson in Turkey in a very beautiful place called Fethiye and also
another place called Chevalier two very beautiful places in Turkey hello mr.
Duncan I'm Gabriel from Sudan can you teach us the grammar and exercises
because your accent is very clear well I talk about grammar sometimes I also give
you examples of sentences and how to use certain words so can I just say that you
are in the right place with my lessons and my live English streams you will
have a chance to listen to English being spoken mr. Duncan what is your real name
my real name is Duncan that is actually my name so my first name
is Duncan when I was living in China working in China everyone would call me
mr. Duncan and that name has kind of stuck so that's the reason why I used
the name mr. Duncan because it sounds quite good really I quite like it anyway
we watched it and liked so much TGN I ran oh yes tgn now this is something I'm
going to mention on Sunday I don't want to talk about it too much now because I
don't have all the information here but TGN is going to take her students on a
trip on a special trip and it's all because of my English lesson that I
record it in Turkey so yes thank you very much for that yes to Shakespeare
says Jamelia yes it's hard to it's hard to appreciate just how much influence
William Shakespeare had on the English language to this very day
for example I will give you a quick example knock knock who's there now that
is a type of joke that many people normally use or say they make a joke and
they say knock knock who's there and normally they will make a joke which is
kind of a play on words so yeah Shakespeare came up with that it
was actually coined by William Shakespeare the cherry blossom will be
in full bloom in two weeks I can't wait me neither
I love the cherry blossom sadly I can only look at the beautiful photographs
taken in Japan of the the wonderful cherry blossom hi Oh a big hi and a big
hand oh thank you very much for that Fernando is here Thank You Fernando for
joining me it's Leighton live it's 20 past 10:00
and I think mr. Eve has just arrived I think he's just
parking his car outside the house so I think mr. Steve has arrived
Shakespeare is not easy to read for all those learning the English language like
me well a lot of Shakespeare's work is in what you might call middle English
although Shakespeare was responsible for modernizing certain parts of the English
language so even though a lot of his writing sounds very strange even to me
there is a lot in his work that we use nowadays for example in a pickle in a
pickle it's an expression we use in English but it was created by William
Shakespeare many years ago I read some sort of Shakespeare book but at that
time it was hard to understand and look that I read it and translated it to
Portuguese I I translated it to the Portuguese language Danielle thank you
very much Danielle med Rios when I was working in China I was very lucky to
find a book for sale that had all of Shakespeare's work translated into
Chinese can you believe that and apparently when you translate
Shakespeare into Chinese a lot of it makes no sense whatsoever because of the
differences between the English language and the Chinese language hello from
Russia mr. Duncan my name is gas on what do you think
about Luxembourg the country I think it's all right yes sounds like a nice
place I've never been there to be honest mr. Duncan how can I speak English
frequently can you advise me Laree f-- there is something that I always say to
my students whenever they ask me this question I say you can
practice English at anytime anywhere you can practice with yourself you can
listen to your own voice you can record your voice and listen to it or of course
you can create your own group you can find other people maybe on the internet
or maybe in your local area who are interested in practicing their English
so there are three suggestions for you mr. Duncan your accent is very clear
thanks a lot for that yes I do speak clearly because I am an English teacher
so really when you think about it there would be no point
teaching English certainly if you had to listen to my voice there would be no
point if you couldn't understand what I was saying I would be wasting my time
hello mr. Duncan my name is Roberto and I am from Tenerife Tenerife I wish I
wish I was in Tenerife at the moment that sounds very nice can you explain
what does you took it like a duck to water
Thank You moji if you take something like a duck to water
it means you took to it very easily it means you learnt it very quickly you
were able to do it for the first time without much practice so you take to
something like a duck to water and the reason why we say that is because ducks
live on water so and they make it look so easy
they make it look very easy so if you do something for the first time and you do
it very well we can say that you took to it like a duck to water I love that
expression mr. Duncan although I don't often participate in the chat here is a
regular viewer who enjoys all your programs a huge hug to everyone Thank
You Alberto that's very kind there is one thing I am
very aware of and I've been aware of this for a long time since I started
doing the live chats I am very aware that there are many people watching out
there yes I'm all about you many people out there who don't say hello on the
live chat they watch but they never say hello and there are many reasons for
this maybe they are feeling a little shy or maybe they are nervous to type
something in English so that's probably the reason why so can I say hello to all
the shy people all of the people who don't want to say hello on the live chat
maybe tonight maybe tonight could be your night where you say hello on the
live chat come on don't be shy give it a try or else you'll make mr.
Duncan cry mr. Steve has arrived but I can't see him anywhere I don't know
where he's gone maybe he's gone to the toilet I think so
to take to something like a duck to water to discover that when you start to
do something for the first time you have a natural ability Thank You arid ass I
think that's what I said hello mr. Duncan I am here in Brazil italiani
italiani Thole hello to you if you are watching at the moment and you have
never said hello on the live chat go on come on have a go now take your finger
and type say hello mr. Duncan I have never said hello to you before don't be
shy give it a try or else you'll make mr. Duncan and mr. Steve cry you will do
you have any friends from other countries mr. Duncan well I have lots of
frame on Facebook I think I have about 15,000
friends on Facebook and many people write to me via email so yes I have lots
of people who I talk to some people who have become regular correspondence yes
it's true hello I'm a shy person mr. Duncan hello
from the shy person Alex Alex Mikael hello Alex thank you so much for taking
that little step to saying hello on the live chat and it's quite easy really
isn't it Cathy Cathy Orellana says I am a shy girl as well
well Cathy you are not shy anymore because you've said hello on the live
chat mr. Duncan could mr. Steve please make a cup of coffee for us actually
that would be quite nice a cup of coffee at this time of night to keep me awake
so where is mr. Steve I will tell you where mr. Steve is mr. Steve is now
walking through the door of my studio and he's coming over towards me he is
walking towards me right now in a very strange way what are you doing Steve you
weirdo my legs are all stiff mr. Duncan mr. Steve mr. Steve has stiff legs I
don't know what he's been doing why mr. Steve why mr. Steve why are you
all stiff I just I just I don't know why I did that actually I just suddenly you
felt like doing it you know sometimes if you feel like doing something on impulse
that's a great word by the way impulse impulse in else if you do something on
impulse it means you do it without much thought you do it almost like a reaction
almost like a reaction to something you do it without much thought it is just
impulse yes I just did then so mr. Steve didn't
plan to walk in here like this but he did it he did it on impulse indeed we
were talking earlier Steve about Stephen Hawking oh yes
really really sad news now this week we have lost another big celebrity here in
the UK that many people out there probably have never heard of but it's a
person that we grew up with on the television and his name was Ken Dodd and
he was a comedian and he worked in show business for 70 years 70 not 1770
can you imagine working in one field in one area and especially a very difficult
area a profession like show business because it's not easy is it
and I think he was just it was so natural to him as a comedian and of
course he was very famous for going on stage doing comedy routines that would
last for hours and hours he had a huge catalogue of jokes and funny stories
that he loved to relay to the audience and famous these shows went on like for
3-4 hours and so longer than that in fact so if he if he did a live
performance in a theatre quite often his shows would go on sometimes four four
five sometimes six hours he would be on the stage performing and he would just
stay there for five or six hours and the audience would would sit there as well
for all of that time and sometimes the shows would go on until maybe one or
sometimes two o'clock in the morning and he had a very good voices rally released
singles and album at one time in 1965 he sold almost almost not quite almost more
songs all records than the Beatles that's
amazing but he did have a very good voice so yes very sad week so what have
you been saying about Stephen Hawking well I was just briefly talking about
his work and and the things that he did and the things he talked about and many
people on here also saying things on the live chat as well so I thought a good
question as well to ask tonight would be science do you think science is a
subject that's that's interesting to everyone well science I love science
that was my favorite subject at school chemistry biology physics the thing with
physics is it you can do biology is probably the easiest subject to take of
the sciences I think physics while physics and
chemistry they're both hard I had to give them up because I'm not very good
at math you need to be very good maths to be able to do physics I think I think
of all of them I think I think physics is is the one isn't it that is the
really difficult one so I ended up doing biology and ended up working in labs and
things like that because I love doing experiments I used to have my own lab my
own lab at home we've heard this story before
really I'm boring you already am i mr. Duncan shout okay my normal voice yes
I'd rather you didn't do that I read did you read Stephen Hawking's book a famous
book a brief history of time hmm did you ever read it yes and also there was
really there was I'm just trying to get to the end of the sentence he's a brief
history of me getting to the end of a sentence so yes I have heard it and it
was a very interesting TV show as well made based on the book and it was
presented by Stephen Hawking so yes very good a lot of work on black holes
that's it black holes what happens when you go into a black hole if you are
flying through space and you come towards a black hole and you go into it
what happens and there are many theories about what actually happens when you go
into a black hole some people believe that you become nothing that's it
you just vanish that's it gone I think you just said think your molecules get
torn apart and that was what Stephen Hawking thought if I remember rightly
yes but if you see the the famous film science fiction film the black hole you
go straight to and out the other side and into a brand-new universe I don't
think we're going to use I don't think we're going to use Disney science
fiction films Disney science fiction films to base our our studies of black
holes on to be honest that one thing about biology because you mentioned
biology just biology is very easy because you have your own reference you
see you have your body so I always think that biology is quite easy especially
when you're talking about the human body because you have one so all of the bits
all of the parts human biology maybe yeah human biology so that that would be
very easy I think that would be the one to do that's definitely the one to do
because you have your own reference book here and that's you so you can look at
your hand you can look at all of the skin eat more to it than that mr. Duncan
yes well not much naming the parts okay they know okay then where the malleus
incus and stapes are part of your ears your ears yes the malleus incus and
stapes are the bones in your ears so yes I was very interested in human biology
and human anatomy at school so I I was really fascinated by it he's told me all
sorts of stories about when he was at school he used it he so well so when
you've got a teacher at school he's laughing cuz you know I'm gonna say I
know what you're going to say most people want to leave their teachers I
may be taking them a little gift a present maybe some chocolates something
like that what did mr. Duncan take to his biology teacher as a present the
eyes from what was it were they were they pigs eyes or cows are wrong
there was sheep oh geez that's no no everyone humanize the cow part was the
brain so I took a cow I took a cow's brain to the classroom I took as you do
I took some sheeps eyes to the classroom and also some lungs as well I can't
remember where the lungs came from but I took them to school all in a plastic bag
and I took them to school and gave them to my biology teacher and he thought I
was crazy and I think a lot of people would where did you get these from did
you go into a field and kill these animals and rip out the organ are you
trying to shout to the neighbors or something no just talking normally do
you go did you get them from a butcher's I can tell you've been on the stage
tonight he's been doing some performing tonight because he's projecting too much
I did I did get them from the butchers there was a lovely guy called Peter
Bevan who lived very very close to where we lived and here in ER II did run a
butcher shop a butchery and I used to go in there and ask him if he had any of
the awful awful awful awful so awful is generally it's the stuff that they throw
away the things that they don't want like the organs the eyes and the lungs
and the stomach and the the intestines so all of that stuff so yes my making
that noise before are you sure about that is that the noise it makes when
it's falling out just slit your open we didn't make that noise as it came out a
strange thing to say mr. Steve is live tonight now we didn't have mr. Steve
last Sunday because what were you doing last Sunday well it was Mothering Sunday
or Mother's Day and I went to see my mother which was very nice and my sister
was there as well and her husband because my sister is also a mother
as children so we were celebrating Mother's Day for my mother and my sister
who's also mother which is a bit strange but true and yes we had a we went for a
pizza which was wouldn't really the sort of Mother's Day meal you would normally
go with it's not it's not a meal that you should ever have with anyone if it's
a special occasion it's like technically if you take someone out for a romantic
meal never take them for pizza it's not a good first impression right you you
have to you have to take them to a place that's a little bit more sophisticated
don't take them to McDonald's No well that's even worse our other franchises
of course name another one I can't think of another one Burger King
it has burger in the name so what are the burger outlets are there Oh Burger
King I might do something spontaneous in him he got really angry last week with
me because he said I was bullying him last week unless when I stood in here
you were bullying me mister you thought I was in a bad mood because he couldn't
get his live stream to work yes that was him you need to get out on me
that was stupid YouTube over the thing about you know when do you say good
morning to somebody at midnight or do you say that sounds good let's not go
there again you're still speaking English there yes
that's optimal don't have a debate by anyway we won't go into that best not
watch last Wednesday stream well you almost are going on his long good last
week talking about it let's not mention that again because this here let's not
mention that here is something I want to show everyone before we carry on tonight
by the way we are going to talk about William Shakespeare because it shakes be
a week here in the UK many schools are having special celebrations and it is a
way of getting the youngsters the young kids to to read a bit of Shakespeare and
let's not forget that Shakespeare helped to coin many many phrases that we use
now in English so we'll be taking a look at those in a little bit here is
something that was sent to me by Belarus yeah and it's the thing
that we talked about on the donation the thing that we talked about on Sunday and
someone mentioned the hornero hornero which is a type of bird so the hornero
is a type of bird and there it is on the argentinian note so it's actually on the
new I think it's is it one thousand I think it's one thousand pesos and it's
on the new note and there it is a beautiful bird now I wasn't sure what it
was but there it is there is a lovely picture of the actual note this isn't a
real argentinian note I don't think I can take this too I don't think I can
take this to Argentina and spend it what's that worth a thousand Argentinean
peso Souls I wonder what yes I wonder what it is
the exchange rate is I think Mill means a thousand so I guess Mille peso means
one thousand it's a bit like millennium I suppose one hundred thousand sorry we
don't know what you mean why did you say that was a thousand we talked about
millennium it's a thousand thousand years so it's probably the same thing
you see that's what is a thousand on it so we're guessing it's a thousand but it
is a thousand but what's it worth what's the exchange rate into English money or
maybe dollars I don't know I I would imagine it isn't it isn't a lot
justjust Oh Steve's very interested now in the live chat he's all over the place
I'm just sorry flashing up you see he's all over the place like a madwoman
Snickers here we go would you like to hold that I wear like
an older men's okay I'd rather you didn't so there it is thanks a lot and
also it was sooo cat he's already messed it up I nearly signed out he's already
misted it with his big banana fingers the moment he gets hold of technology he
start smashing the keys with his big hammer his ask my mother hasn't got an
iPhone so as you can bear DK with a normal phone zone there's no way
we're gonna give her an iPhone yes Steve's mum doesn't have an iPhone
my mum does though my mum has an iPad and she uses it all the time so my mum
who is now in her mid that's actually late
I said mid but late seventies and she has a an iPad somebody here whose name I
can't pronounce says have you ever tried to learn a foreign language such as
French German and Spanish well we we always in England we will learn French
at school you have to visit nearest country to us and of course now Chinese
is being taught in many schools and I suppose that comes as no surprise I want
to learn Spanish okay because the next musical extravaganza that I mean yeah is
called San Marino San Marino San Marino San Marino and I've got to speak in a
broke in Spanish English accent without them
no I've got to speak I've got to speak as though I was sort of is that Italian
Spanish or or sort of a Latin American sort of accent but obviously in English
so I want to learn how a Spanish person would speak English I've got to listen
to that to learn the accent you mean the Spanish accent then well
now how a Spanish person or somebody from from Latin America Argentina yes
I'm gonna would speak English okay in with the accent oh I see so yes so so
the Spanish accent but but speaking English yes we could have got that out
the way quite quickly oh here we go a thousand pesos according to Swan is
worth 43 euros thank you for that conversion okay we're not much clearer
43 year of euros euros euros what's an ero is this an ero is this a
new form of currency now when we leave brick when we bricks it when we leave
Europe will will be using eros I'm going to have to cut your ear
I'm going to be going on YouTube I've already started so that I can listen to
Spanish people or South American people speaking English so that I can get the
the accent yes so that I can I can I can perform it in that way as though I was
this cat because I'm supposed to be like a I care about sort of Caribbean Spanish
pilot pirate pilot ladies and gentlemen we are now approaching Sao Paulo
yes so it's like a Colombian something like a Colombian South American they
speak Spanish so they're going all over the place well I think it's supposed to
be a Caribbean island that is sort of Spanish in origin so I'm thinking maybe
Colombian so I'm looking for somebody who can speak Spanish in in Latin
American Spanish English accent there we go I know what you need to do Steve you
need to listen to to all of the all of the movies starring Ricardo Montalban
yes well I suggested that to you earlier today Ricardo Montalban was a great
actor he was in many movies including Star Trek the Wrath of Khan
he was Mexican cool
he was Mexican but that thing that's probably close enough and he's got quite
ER you mean that he's got quite a yeah what you would call quite a sexy accent
so I think that would be quite good from the point of view of of performing that
kind of a character you want somebody who's going to attract the ladies so
this is this is Steve's confession tonight that he finds Ricardo Montalban
very sick I didn't say that I said he has got a sexy voice but he have doesn't
mean I find it attractive he had I'm just saying because women say
Oh Ricardo Montalban and however you pronounce his name he's got a very sexy
accent so that's what I'm looking for what's what I'm trying to get so if
anyone's got any ideas of who I can listen to
to speak English with a Spanish accent I know you could just do the pirate Steve
does a great pirate voice yeah but it's like a British pirate just do the pirate
I'm not gonna be I can't do that if all else fails do the pirate that's what
Johnny Depp does a Johnny Depp and all of the other ones you know in Pirates of
the Caribbean oh he just whispers doesn't he just
whistle hello my name's Jack Sparrow people used
to say that I was like Jack Sparrow you've got a lesson where you've
mimicked that particular actor you just mentioned Jack - though the one that you
just mention I didn't mention me actually did you mentioned his name
what's his name well he's he's an American actor everybody knows is to EV
I don't need to repeat that of course what's his name then well you tell me
you were listening to me surely Jack Sparrow that's his name Oh Jack Sparrow
is the character that of the actor come on it's taken as read I'll give you an
actor I think it's red oh we mentioned that the other day yeah it's something
we don't have to make sure that everybody knows it's obvious I love the
way you reference live chat from two weeks ago
oh I'm sure everybody remembers that yes so we've got some Shakespeare today in
fact gonna be a late night tonight it's a Shakespeare one this Shakespeare week
and also something else we were talking about earlier tonight Steve we were
talking about sandwiches and I was just wondering out there what what is the
best sandwich now you were talking earlier because you would you were
saying that during your lunch break when you are out and about you find that
there are very few sandwiches left now in the supermarket's and and I thought
that maybe it's because a lot of the supermarket's now are getting very
conscious of not wasting food so I think they are producing fewer sandwiches and
that's the reason why they're running out of sandwiches much earlier
in the day yes I think so and also probably because they're not making as
much money as they used to so yes I used to used to be able to go to a
supermarket pick up a sandwich there be loads there but I noticed now if you get
there too late they're all gone that's it
so you're asking people what are their favorite sandwiches or even what are
their worst that's it because you mentioned some really horrible
sandwiches and the ones that are always left and there are two two sandwiches
two particular types of sandwich that are always left behind that no one wants
and that is egg mayonnaise sandwich oh yeah but-but-but yes egg mayonnaise is
okay when it's cold but when it's gone a bit warm oh there's nothing worse than
warm egg mayonnaise it's disgusting and also a tuna and cucumber salmon and cube
or salmon and cucumber than cucumber because the bread goes all soggy
it goes all wet and they're revolting don't even bother anything with fishing
in a sandwich I would think stay away from because if ticket if it's a couple
of you know and I don't like to buy a sandwich where the sell-by date is the
same day mm-hmm because they've usually get you know I go to the back of the
fridge and look for the one that's got the the longest sell by Steve is that
annoying person in the supermarket who always reaches at the back he always
reaches right into the back I do to get the the food that has the longest sell
by date so Steve is the one that keeps doing that it's very annoying to keep in
a sandwich you don't but you don't want one that's going out of date on the day
that you you're there because you think oh that's that's already a couple of
days old the breads gonna be soggy you can't go wrong with cheese and onion
sandwich and a packet of cheese and onion crisp ly love that combination
jordão says can you say hello to my daughter and our Cecilia we love you
both so Anna Cecilia from jordão hello to you and
thanks for joining us tonight hello so yes
I like I do like meat sandwiches I like especially something in a big thick roll
and something that's hot like like like some sort of meat like beef or or sort
of pork in the middle of a big sort of roll and sometimes they put gravy on it
as well and it's oh it's all tender the meat is tender and everything inside is
still hot and you bite into it and all of the gravy goes over your face ah yes
now that I think that might be my most perfect sandwich I accidentally picked
up a sandwich the other day which was one that was made with gluten-free bread
I picked it up by mistake because it wasn't very well labeled it was a
chicken salad sandwich and when I got into the car I noticed it was made with
gluten-free bread for people who can't take the you know the wheat protein hmm
I took two bites and I was nearly sick it was revolting hmm so for people who
suffer with wheat intolerance oh I'm I feel very sorry for you because
gluten-free bread is just revolting I'm sorry so that's that I would not like to
be have a gluten intolerance or a wheat intolerance problem because having to
suffer gluten-free bread must be very difficult because bread is delicious
that's it yes I must admit I wouldn't if I couldn't finish it mr. Duncan well
some things are quite nice though gluten-free there are some biscuits that
I I used to buy and they're quite nice so they're gluten-free but they taste
okay but I think the reason why is because they put a little extra sugar
into the biscuit so the flavour kind of comes from the sugar they add something
just to boost the flavor to get rid of that okay yes where is bread bread is
just lovely and it's very spongy and you know what bread you can't disguise bread
you can't whereas a biscuit you don't make a gluten-free biscuit quite easily
so and you can make I've had gluten-free chocolate bites and things I hadn't
they've been very nice chocolate brown is gluten-free chocolate brownies are
nice but the bread on its own I tell you now I am very very sympathetic towards
people who have gluten intolerance I really really do because you you have to
eat all of that awful terrible food its disgusting
especially the bread and cakes gluten-free cakes they really are
disgusting so what what Steve what's what's happening Steve on Jen Erin says
halloumi cheese oh what's that then yes I've I've had that in a sandwich I have
had it I think it's quite sort of it's a bit like mozzarella I think am i right
is it it's a little bit like rubber it's yes I think it's a it's got a certain
consistency I think I've heard it actually yes I think I've actually had
it on a sandwich it's it's alright it's alright I just put I prefer cheddar
mmm strong cheddar cheese I like the best cheese it has to smell like like
your granddad's feet if it doesn't smell like that then I'm not eating it I love
strong cheese cheese that that literally if you bite into it it makes the inside
of your mouth peel off and your teeth dissolve it's so strong Aurora that's a
nice name Aurora Aurora like the aurora borealis
yes something something wonderful and to look at says oh she's gone now she's in
Brazil you know what I think of Brazil I'd loved some Brazilian food and I want
to know what you're going to be eating or or what you're eating in Brazil it's
8 p.m. you're going to have something to eat because you're hungry what are you
preparing to eat what do you eat in Brazil that's what I want to know what
is Brazilian food I imagine it's it's I would say just now I don't want to seem
ignorant here or although I have a feeling I am going to i think it's very
spicy food I think Brazilian food might be spicy lots of I think meat maybe a
lot of Advocaat those things like that is it like
Caribbean food do you think Brazilian food is very similar that how do you
like Caribbean food I am feeling quite hungry now because of this yes quite
fast a bit of jerk chicken right now German chicken and some rice and peas
which is uh I've got some Caribbean friends and that they make this
delicious rice with well it's it's called rice and peas but it hasn't
actually got peas in your not green peas it's red kidney beans what they call it
rice and peas and they make it with this lovely spicy chicken I absolutely love
that mr. Duncan where's he gone he's gone off the best cheese's are in
Netherland what's that holy cheese they're cheesed full of holes that you
can get in in France quite commonly sold in France I always find that quite
amusing you love a cucumber sandwich do you Mika it's nice if it's freshly made
I agree a cucumber sandwich is very nice freshly made but if it's bought from a
supermarket and it's a couple of days old the the cucumber goes all limp and
horrible I know the feeling and yes you know what a limp cucumber mr. Duncan
definitely there's nothing worse than a limp cucumber yes so so no yes I agree
freshly made cucumber is fine and fish isn't very nice in a in a sandwich
because salmon and and - no quite pungent they've got quite a strong smell
and when they've been lying in a sandwich for two days they get stronger
and stronger and all that all the juices soaked into the bread and the bread all
go soggy I mean any bite into this soggy mess of a sandwich is revolting soggy
sandwiches are definitely off the menu I think it's safe to say now we're
talking about Shakespeare this week because it is Shakespeare week and it's
amazing how many phrases expressions that Shakespeare created or coined
if you coin something it means you create something you create it yourself
you coin something you coin a phrase or you coin an expression and there are
many expressions you can see just down here on the screen you can see a big
list of all of the expressions that Shakespeare created all on his own so
we're going to have a quick look you can see them as well Steve so what we've
already mentioned knock knock who's there and quite often we would use a
very humorous reply that was quite often a play on words so for example you might
say you might pretend you are the dentist and you say knock knock who's
there Phil Phil who Phil Macavity oh you see
fill my cavity so that sounds like a name but also it could refer to a
dentist so there you go also another one in a pickle so yes did
you know that you know that Shakespeare I didn't know that no mr. Jenkin in a
pickle if you are in a pickle you are yo you've gots problems you've got issues
you know you're in a difficult situation you're in a pickle you can't make it
you're very confused confused you are in a dilemma I'm just listening and
considering your voice I'm listening to Steve you're all in a pickle hmm it all
confused and you can't make up your mind you are in a difficult a difficult
situation what situation difficult situation but not not perilous not
perilous not not a very bad it's sort of oh I'm in a bit of a pickle today you
might say dilemma dilemma dilemma okay so another one is oh wait we're talking
about teeth again to set your teeth on edge if something sets your teeth on
edge what does that mean like lemon juice or or something that's very sugary
so if you eat something very sugary or something very cold if you bite into ice
cream your teeth will yes and we say that your teeth are on edge
something will set your teeth on edge Shakespeare came up with that expression
yes well well well well well well well well well I can't wait to see the
subtitles for that well well well well well well well well well well well well
well well well well well you do thank you
we haven't got live subtitles yet no we might be getting there but it's a secret
don't read any live chats out we'll just we'll do a couple of more the
Shakespeare thing that's what I meant yes okay then that's not the live chat
that's Shakespeare's work this is the live chat oh it's something that that
applies to us makes your hair stand on end
yes something that makes your hair stand on end
yes something that's very what something that's frightening scary something that
causes you to become very afraid or very nervous something makes your hair stand
on end and that is courtesy of mr. William Shakespeare
well the hairs on the back of your neck stand up that's a similar expression
when you've when you're fearful of something is suddenly get at this
horrible feeling of fear Mildred asks could you tell me what perilous means a
perilous situation if something is perilous it means it is risky it is
dangerous something that might cause you harm or
even death yes yes something that's careless yeah you could be standing on
the edge of a cliff and you might fall over mmm or you could be you could be
walking a tightrope hmm that would be pet I mean you wouldn't do that in your
ordinary life of course I must have it on my date during my daily routine I
never walk along a tightrope don't you
although you can use it yes you can use it as an expression to mean doing
something that is perilous yes so so that itself can be an idiom for doing
something that's dangerous yes so you can say that you're walking along a
tightrope you are doing something that is a little bit risky a little bit they
go either way it could go well or it could go disastrously wrong a bit like
this livestream early I think he's getting all right
okay then hi mr. Duncan mr. Steve I'm so sad for the passing of dr. Stephen
Hawking professor Stephen Hawking one of the brightest minds of this world yes
very sad news really really sad another bright mind that lived he wanted to come
up with the his life that goal was to come up with a theory of everything yes
a theory that would would explain the entire universe that we live in so wily
he hasn't come up with that nobody else has either it's strange isn't it that
one of the biggest questions is actually one of the smallest words in the English
language why why that's it that was the question that Stephen Hawking for most
of his life tried to crack he tried to get the answer why why what that's it no
though there isn't a why what why that's it that's the question okay everything
you're not talking about anything in particular why just why when you look at
the stars at night you see all of those tiny stars billions billions of miles
away and you are looking at those stars as they looked millions of years ago
so those stars that you see in the sky at night are actually the stars as they
looked millions of years ago that's incredible most of them yes because the
light takes so long to reach yes and so because of that it travels across space
and by the time it gets to earth millions of years have passed that's
incredible a lot of them yes it just blows your mind under an eighty six
thousand miles per second yes speed of a light it's incredible it just it just
blows your mind that is in kilometres so the next time you are in your garden and
you are looking up at night to the night sky and you see all those tiny stars
each one of those stars is a Sun that's incredible so our Sun that gives us all
that lovely light every day so we can sit in our garden and get nice and brown
it's it's that there's millions of them so all of those stars they are all
different types types of things that are millions and millions of miles away and
the light that you see is also millions and millions of years old it is amazing
that they they think that in just in our galaxy alone the Milky Way there's about
200 billion stars or 200 billion suns and there are about two or three hundred
billion galaxies just like there are more there are more Suns in our own
galaxy than there are grains of sand on the entire earth apparently my mind is
blown that is that is quite in fact there is one theory which they now
believe could rather be true that the universe is so big it is in fact
infinite which means it goes on forever and when you have a bit Naggar to
understand it a bit yes we should stop interest oh okay you better be
interested interest is it interesting yes because if the universe is infinite
even if it is not quite infinite but quite close to infinite don't mock me
mr. Duncan it means that anything is possible
hmm which means that we are here doing this live lesson hmm and because
anything is possible in an infinite universe and it means that everything
will happen again so that something else in another part
of the universe millions or billions of light-years away there will be another
earth exactly like this with us doing a livestream I've easily not right at this
moment but have some time in the past or in the history we've done this all
before I think Steve has been watching too many episodes of Star Trek
now it's not the new Star Trek that is that is science if the universe is
infant it means anything is possible and anything will in fact happen anyway I
get the feeling that no one wants to talk about this but they're not they're
talking about sandwiches
whoa in an infinite universe any combination in a sandwich will be
possible can you have can you have shark sandwich yes can I have shark and
lobster sandwich yeah can I have a luncheon and --which yep you have
anything can I have a London bus on a sandwich that I can bite into it and eat
on a London bus can I eat on a London bus whilst eating
a London bus you're just being silly now mister can I actually look at a picture
of a London bus on a London bus whilst eating a London bus well you can't eat a
London yes in another universe got to be possible within the realms of the laws
of physics make your mind up you can't eat a bus make your mind up she's going
back already on this do--if still gonna stay within the laws of physics
there's no way well I think we can save an infinite universe I think we can
safely say that mr. Steve is never going to be the next Stephen Hawking oh I
think I know more about it than you mr. ding so it would appear that people are
more interested in sandwiches than the meaning of the universe to be honest I
don't blame you because I'm quite hungry at the moment well let's face it we
can't do anything about it anyway even if we understand it how the universe
works it's not going to really change our lives because we'll just be going
out to work going to the toilet or eating we got etc so it won't really
change our lives put the brakes on bother coming home
because what he does is abuse know somebody's asking you a question oh okay
I'm sure take a sandwich I'm saying shut up Steve because still wants to ask you
a question I don't know that I can answer it how long does it take light
from the Sun to get to the earth it's right now is it nine minutes or nine
seconds it's one of the two it's somewhere around I think it's not I mean
I think it's about I think it's minutes yes I think it's several minutes nine
minutes I think it is yes oh we are we always
sticking with nine minutes I think it takes about nine I think it does take
about nine minutes am i right no minutes show me nine minutes I don't know oh
sorry I thought that was a I thought I was on
a game show they see it's either nine seconds or nine minutes it's either it's
something I cut somebody must know do they know look it up like from the
psychic I can hear that people around the world now are typing into Wikipedia
I think it is about nine minutes nine minutes ronzo okay sounds too long to me
it sounds a very long time nine years 186,000 miles per second how far is it
to the Sun we can't work that oh I can't with that Adam please yes I can i if
only Stephen Hawking was here I think it's minutes
so apparently we are correct you are correct Oh mr. Steve is correct
okay I can hear the applause from millions around them there's just this
distant echo inside mr. Steve it's amazing when you look at the Sun it's
nine minutes old yeah it takes nine minutes according to
Steve not me just in case it's wrong and the Internet
well if you get your information from Wikipedia you know no I think it's right
very interesting by Apollo says interesting so how so yes so the next
time missing name talking about a space Spacey subject and your name's Apollo
yeah the name of a space rocket that went to the moon
well Apollo is a Greek god hmm Mildred says Oh Mildred is laughing haha
so we are looking at Shakespearean phrases that we still use good riddance
good Vince Megan good riddance so good riddance is normally an exclamation that
you make when you are glad to see someone go so when they walk out the
room maybe it is someone you hate or despise you don't like them and you are
glad to see them go you say oh he's gone now good riddance yes you shanks
Shakespeare that's Shakespeare back there gone and you don't want them to
come back some don't you say it to their face don't you do you but most of the
time that's a phrase you you say behind their back have you ever said good
riddance to someone's face yes I'm sure I have what to them what's what when
they're saying what when they're saying they are saying that they are going and
you say to them good riddance yes if you don't like them huh yeah you can say
that I can't imagine that I can't oh he's a good one here's a good one there
this we are getting very cerebral tonight very cerebral see intelligent
people out there mr. Duncan was trying to talk about sandwiches no that's it
when we talk about cerebral things we talk about things that are in the mind
things that we ponder things that we think about things that we consider and
that's really what Stephen Hawking did he spent a lot of his time thinking and
studying and trying to work out how things worked how things were connected
so there do you believe in time travel asks jordão now I can answer that from
my own opinion first of all I don't believe in it because no one has ever
come back from the future you see it's very easy to disprove so there are no
time travelers this there is no time travel it doesn't exist because we would
see people appearing from the future and there aren't any so that means that time
travel is not possible they yes III don't
well it's theoretically possible to to go in a spaceship and go near the speed
of light and then time travels differently for you in so it's possible
to travel forward in time if you go at very high speed yes you come back
everyone will be dead yes but that's not true time travel no it's not well it is
a kind of time no but I think they're all about just traveling you know life
from the future to 2018 and you've got a silver suit on and a big cone on your
head and you go are out I'm from the future and this is what human beings are
like in the future we talk out of our hands we're all going
we're all going to be in in about a few hundred years time it did was a very
funny episode look and in a comedy series where all the people coming from
the future we're all just this weird caramel color because because of
globalization of really traveling and interbreeding with different different
races everyone ended up being just this caramel color which I thought was quite
funny do you remember that can we say caramel color yes
caramel sorry wait though no we have to check so everybody out there if there
are any PC police watching or anyone anybody can we say caramel is it okay
whether I'm just getting a live update here from the political correctness
police yet can we I'm just checking to make sure that we
can see caramel to describe the color of a person yeah I think we currently you
can't okay it is extremely offensive and tomorrow
we will have people protesting outside the house I don't think so they will be
tearing Steve to pieces when it goes outside she's gonna mansion actor start
his car you can imagine that in five hundred years time we're all just
basically one color what we were talking about before that I don't know your time
to travel that's it so I feel like I want to go back in time and start this
live stream again according to according to physicists are going to physicists
there is no way you can possibly travel back in time that
apparently is impossible but traveling forward in time yes is possible but
that's been proved that's been proved that ya can do that and and here's an
interesting fact that will blow your mind when you get on a plane you know
what's coming next I do when you get on an aeroplane and you travel a very long
distance on a plane did you know that you are actually also traveling through
time forward in time you are travelling forward in time you are actually going
forward in time because of the speed of the plane but of course the time that
you move forward by is is just like a micro I think seconds isn't just
millionths of a second or some very tiny amount but because of the speed of the
plane there is a strange I want I want to say a quantum effect or some sort of
effect where the time shifts I think I think it's just to do with I I don't
know what the theory is there but there is a there is a thing the way if you
move fast through time the faster you go the further forward or the faster the
time goes for you so when you were right sorry yeah if it's right say if you
travel at the speed of light okay the times faster for them yes yes it's
faster the people if we get if we go in a spaceship and traveled close to the
speed of light for but I think it's four years and then you come back again
everyone at on Earth's aged by thirty years that's it
something like that I don't think anyone's interest not one person has
made a comment about any of this stuff we're talking about
well of course to us it's late at night you start talking about these subjects
late at night anyway yes apparently our - says it's it's all to do with
relativity Nativity that's the phrase I was looking for relativity yeah well AD
Reinstein address said it before you where live you know you can't think
still here's here's a bit of irony so we lost professor Stephen Hawking
today but today is also the anniversary of Einstein's birth is it yes
how bizarre is that have sat really is occurring Einstein was born in this day
and also today is a very special day it is true and also today is a special day
because it is pi day pi day because the date well you have to be in America of
course because we don't do it this way round we do it the other way round so
3.14 is the first part of Pi which is which pi goes on forever it's an
infinite number it goes on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and of
course in the UK we put the in America they put there that the month before the
before the day but in England of course we put it the other way round I'm
demonstrating here very good screen now couldn't see so it works it works on
yours Steve hold it up again I'm trying to demonstrate PI so it works on yours
but on ours it doesn't mathematical constant 1 4 3 isn't pi but 3 4 1 is on
their c14 you know the other way yes so and also it was who else's birth
birthday was it I'm trying to another person died on this day also connected
to I remember in a minute mr. Duncan mr. Steve where were you on the 11th of the
9th oh one 11th of the 9th is that the 11th
ever yes I think they're saying 9 it could be the 9th of November of course
you see so that's the problem when you use when you when you write the date
like this it can be very confusing because for British people we don't do
it like this we do it the other way round we put the day first and then the
month so it can be very confusing you write you end in this country on 9/11 oh
yeah I was who are you III was in a plane the day before 9/11 and this is a
story I think I've told before I actually arrived back from Malaysia the
day before 9/11 it has nothing to do with 9/11 I wasn't in
New York or anything like that I wasn't flying with American Airlines or
anything it was nothing connected but I was on a plane the day before 9/11 so I
arrived back in the UK the day before and then the following day of course we
all know what happened that everybody remembers where they are and so they
weren't significant yes okay but where they are everyone remember Lester
travelling in time we didn't I didn't finish the sentence come on everyone
remembers where they were when there are significant world events hmm
presidents being assassinated and things like that so where were you when the
Magna Carta was signed I was indeed well I was probably existing in another
planet somewhere billions of miles away because in the infinite universe of
course we're immortal because we exist again we are all made of stars
Stardust yes some of us have got more of the heavy elements than others so well
yes apparently 3.14159 is the start of Pi so this is quite a coincidence that
Stephen Hawking died today and it was the birthday of Einstein write that down
write that down hasn't he managed to were to arrange that I don't think he
arranged it I know he didn't have him just being hello hello it's Steven
Hawking her could you please arrange for me to die on the same day as I Stein's
okay then thank you a massive coincidence I mean the more you think
about that the more you think that is just amazing it's a coincidence mind you
I suppose it's a 1 in 365 chance oh it's probably not that yes significant so
there is a chance that we will die on the same day yes especially if it
happens at the same time but it's still significant whatever both you know
famous physicists so another let's have another phrase invented by Shakespeare
and we are going we are going in a brand about five minutes so yes the live chat
has gone very quiet I think all of the the very deep and meaningful things the
meaningful things we've talked about tonight
hello mr. Duncan that's a robot oh oh there we go Stephen Hawking I'm putting
down there for no one can see what you're pointing at Stephen Hawking
yesterday breathed his last yes or today today was it it was the early hours of
this morning so yes to breathe your last is to take your last gasp of air you
breathe your last you expire you die you'll go wherever you believe you go so
there there you go another one if someone is faint-hearted faint-hearted
it was created by Shakespeare faint-hearted faint-hearted yes that
means you that you get quite easily upset
yes very sensitive sensitive very sensitive very highly strung yes highly
strung easily suppose it's it's saying that the slightest thing you're all good
to faint but yes faint-hearted so if I if you
were to say something to me that was very mild ly abusive I might get upset
or something another what another good one is not for the faint-hearted you can
see the list here by the way there is a list here that you can see on the screen
you might need a magnifying glass to have a look at that but there they are
I'm just thinking of a way to use the faint-hearted you could say like for
example at a horror film you could say horror films are not for the
faint-hearted yes the noose or film where that bloke chops people up they
chop them to pieces that that film is not for the faint of faint hearted not
for the faint-hearted Shakespeare is a great man he would don't good
livestreams are not for the faint heart yes you've really got to to have a lot
of perseverance to get through the these live stream especially for us is that if
you think it's hard for you imagine standing here doing it live my goodness
so yes lacking courage to be timid somebody else here has access to an
online dictionary great we love it it's great when youwhen you can just key in
the words and you get the answer what's great is that if we can't remember
something that people can look it up and tell us the answer here's another one to
wear your heart on your sleeve Oh yep that came from the bar Wow
the bard himself William Shakespeare people say I do that don't they wear
your heart on your sleeve it means that you know emotions are hidden everything
that you're thinking about is there for everybody to see that's it you can be
too to open with your feeling you're not holding anything back and of course if
you wear your heart on your sleeve it is very easy to be exploited and to be used
by horrible people nasty people out there what you see is what you get so if
you're upset about something you're not going to keep anything in the British
Way normally is to hold all your emotions in but if you're somebody who
just expresses themselves I think that's how's everybody how they
feel I think that's different though that's it there's the when you wear your
heart on your sleeve it means you you show your vulnerability yes easily yes
which is not a good thing I don't think it's a good thing I don't a lot of
people round here where we live think think that I'm I'm a bit of a monster
because I tend not to I tend not to show my feelings openly when I'm talking to
people I think you show your feelings or other people you don't like them
especially especially strangers no I'm very uneasy I've said this before I'm
not hiding anything I've said this before I'm very uneasy around people I
don't know it might sound strange you might not believe it you might think mr.
Duncan that's impossible because yes is so much fun but no I get quite nervous
and very uncomfortable around people I don't know I like to have an idea of who
I'm going to be dealing with especially when we go to a party I always ask Steve
who will be there I always ask him aye aye aye
and if and if there are people there that I don't know
quite often I won't go to the party I will say no he doesn't like you don't
like surprises do you I don't like the surprises I like to have a certain
amount of control over what is happening around me yes if I go to a place where
there is an unknown quantity so there are people there who I don't know I it's
it's all very unpredictable unsettling I think say yes very interesting tonight
so we'll have a couple of more and then we'll go to go let's have a look
Oh fight fire with fire right it's Shakespeare Shakespeare coined that
phrase so if you fight fire with fire what do you do you write well it's it's
actually just how it sounds really yes so you use the same thing that is
attacking you or the same thing that is causing problems for you and you use the
same thing back to push it back like fire so if there is a fire burning in a
forest quite often they will burn another fire nearby
to stop the fire that's spreading so once the fire reached reaches the area
that's already burning and that area is controlled the fire will then go out you
have control over the fire yes and so if somebody's competing with you in some
way and they've got some method of getting one over on you you use the same
process to get back at them or if somebody starts shouting at you you can
shout back at them it's a bit like putting fire with fire it's quite
strange as it might be a bit a little bit like what's happening at the moment
between the UK and Russia so today Theresa May said I'm going to
expel some Russian diplomats from this country but then of course Russia will
probably do the same thing they will fight fire with fire they will do the
same thing back so they will probably expel some British or UK diplomats from
Russia and send them back here so another good is tit for tat I like that
one you yes I know we're going off subject slyly
but I love that tit-for-tat so one person does something and then the other
person does something to retaliate and sometimes they do the same thing to
retaliate so yes I think we've covered that quite well please can you stay for
30 more minutes mr. Duncan 30 minutes Pedro my calves are a hedgerow do you
realize it's half an hour away from midnight I've been standing here for one
and a half hours how do you think I feel I've been selling your half and I might
my calves are aching already yes imagine it
I'm we'd love to actually when I'm 70 I'm going to have big varicose veins in
my legs I'm already and it's going to be your fault it's gonna be all your fault
where my legs look like look like bags full of spaghetti and I can think about
is what they're cooking in Brazil at the moment I want to try nice is there a
Brazilian restaurant around I don't think we have Brazilian restaurants we
have Caribbean restaurants but we don't have Brazilian apparently what does the
green-eyed monster mean because it is on my list if you see at the bottom at the
bottom on the on the left the green-eyed monster is the definition of jealousy
yes you express jealousy so a person who is jealous in fact even even the text
underneath is green that's very clever I like that so the green-eyed monster is
jealousy so when a person has the green-eyed monster it means that they
feel jealous of another person similar to the expression green with envy yes
exactly well if I think you might find that
green with envy actually came after the green-eyed monster so I think you might
find that Shakespeare was there first and then the other one came later so if
you're if you're jealous of somebody you you you say that they've got the
green-eyed monster is that right that's why when when people say your Envy is so
jealous they always use the word green I don't know reen with anything
yes I don't know why they use that it must be it must be the way you look when
you're jealous or envious as some of there must be a certain look on your
face hmm and they say you're green with envy that's right
green with envy you've got a touch of the green-eyed monster about you the
let's have another one if you haven't Oh I've not slept one
wink not slept a wink Shakespeare that Shakespeare he created that so if you've
had a bad night's sleep you reckon in the morning if you're
really tired yourself why had a dreadful night's sleep I didn't sleep a wink
I didn't sleep one wink it means that you didn't sleep at all it's an
expression people yeah I just I didn't sleep a wink last night well of course a
wink means to close your eyes so when you close your eyes on one side so you
just close one eye that is a wink all right mr. Duncan a wink mr. Steve is a
bit of a wink er I've go fun E I hope the subtitles get that right mr. Duncan
it's raining cats and dogs in Sao Paulo or is it let's have another one break
the ice this is this is one but it we used a few indeed we did indeed okay
here's the rest of the sentence the other week just one extra word was it
nice yes what we did we use we use that expression when we were talking about
idioms related to the cold yes to break ice so yes Shakespeare created that
expression to break the ice break the ice to get things moving when you've got
people together and they don't know each other very well often you might play a
little game or something like that just to get everybody all relaxed break the
ice hmm another good one too much of a good thing too much of a good thing
that'll be chocolate with me yes anything that you have the
it feels good all makes you feel good or is pleasurable but then you have too
much of it and quite often too much of a good thing can make you suffer or to be
sick or it can make you feel unwell or it can damage you in some way
so yes too much of a good thing is courtesy of mr. Shakespeare yes you can
use that for anything food when you're over indulging in food you've had too
much to eat that's too much too much of a good thing too many holidays people
often say what's too much of a good thing oh here's a good one here's a good
one dead is a doornail dead as a doornail yes it just means you're very
dead although if you're dead you're dead anyway you can't be very dead can you no
you can't be varied it can be quite dead is he dead well he's a bit dead he's
slightly dead he's a bit more dead now now is completely dead a doornail is
something is it an inert object isn't it something that's cold and hard cold hard
just like a person when they're dead they go they go door now they go cold
and they go hard that's it it's horrible but it's true so we started off with
death and we're we're ending we've come full circle yes full circle you see it's
there full circle started talking about a subject at the beginning of your line
live lesson hour and a half later we've come full circle all the way back to it
again it means to end up where you started so if you end up in the same
place you started from you go full circle Thank You mr. Shakespeare for
that one it's very kind of you it strange that the live chat has gone very
quiet everyone's gone to bed I wonder if everyone is there anyone still there
they all travel in time and they've all gone back to the beginning though
they've gone back to just before the livestream started and they've pressed
the little X in the corner of the screen to make it disappear no no please don't
do that they've got I'm not doing that again
are we off then mr. Dean what is the meaning of to be cruel
you must be cruel to be kind to be cruel to be kind well sometimes
especially if you are a parent and you will know this sometimes you have to be
cruel to your child to be kind to teach them a lesson so sometimes you have to
be a little bit strict or you have to lay down the rules and sometimes you
have to do it in a very harsh way yeah so sometimes you have to be cruel to be
kind quite often parents behave in that way a
similar expression would be tough love oh yes
tough love so sometimes if you love somebody but it's it's the same as cruel
to be kind so you have to be a bit tough on them because you know that's good for
them but it's very it's very hard to do that say you've got a child and they're
always demanding things that are a bit spoiled they're always after asking you
for money for things and then you want to teach them the value of money so you
stop giving them things or you you ration how much you're giving to them
you would say that was being cruel to be kind or tough love parents often parents
often are cruel to be kind they might take their child's phone away from them
just to teach them a lesson because maybe sometimes they take things
for granted they always expect it to be there so sometimes you have to teach a
very tough lesson sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind
or you have to use tough love here's another one
vanish into thin air it's Shakespeare well Shakespeare create that that phrase
to vanish into thin air to completely disappear without trace
where'd you go he just he just vanished into thin air he just vanished
poof somebody just disappears they they're they're one minute gone that cuz
they're not actually vanished into thin air but you look for somebody
they're suddenly gone they're gone maybe you're talking to someone and then you
look the other way and then you turn back in the person's gone they've walked
off but it's as if they vanished they vanished into thin air Shakespeare
thanks a lot thanks a lot for that let's have a
couple of more because this is very interesting a lot of people now are
saying this list is amazing so many people didn't even realize this I think
even Steve I didn't is finding out some some of the one down there which one
bottom right the bottom right love is blind love is blind oh I I think that a
lot of people many people will go along with this expression that William
Shakespeare created love is blind you fall in love with somebody but because
you're in love of them you can't see all their faults and quite often you fall in
love with the wrong person hmm we've all done that and your friends might be able
to see that they're a bad person but you can't because you're too in love with
them so love is blind you can't see their faults I think that would be
accurate no that's very good yes so love is blind it makes fools of many people
people do foolish things when they fall in love because they let their heart
rule their mind so they think here instead of here so love is blind in your
head yes your heart or causing in matters of love it's very you can't
really let your head rule your heart that would be very difficult but yes
quite often people will say oh oh she's she's going out with that bloke he's a
baton he is you see don't you gotta get she's only gonna have bad things with
him and she can't see it and they'll they'll say all love is blind so love is
blind it makes fools of many people some people learn the hard way by being used
and abused
I don't know what could you explain that what you just did well what does that
mean I was just recalling an incident with a
past lover who was very bad and I was just pretending really I told one of my
neighbors of the other day that I beat stiva as a joker I think she believed
him because you know I had to take it you
know what when people when people think things in their mind I have this way of
solving this problem when people think things of you I actually encourage them
to think it so even if they're mistaken even if they are completely wrong about
me I still play as if they are right so the
other day I I pretended that I actually beat Steve up as a joke so she wasn't
because they think I'm a bit mean I'm a bit of a monster but I'm not I'm lovely
I'm so cuddly and lovely they've probably told that their whole
neighborhood now that aren't you're beating me up yes but it doesn't matter
cuz I'm not and don't say otherwise
oh right he couldn't you can beat up a spider
mister doom I couldn't beat my way out of a wet paper bag he couldn't I
couldn't I'm terrible in a fight I this is how I fight if I was in a fight this
is how I'd fight giving the game away now I would fight like everything you're
tough I would fight like a girl that's how I fight I just do a lot of slapping
there's a lot of slapping taking place not much punching just lots of slapping
in fact they were are you okay Steve just reading the list I'm okay you want
to go over there so another one have a goodness sake a goodness sake mr. Duncan
calm down now that is one that Steve uses a lot I do yes he does it when he
gets frustrated about something he always goes off for goodness sake I
think isn't that like saying for God's sake yes so quite often in the past
people would use God as a way of cursing or swearing but then of course it became
unacceptable and so instead people said something else so they they exchanged
the word god we're good so for goodness sake goodness that mr. Duncan will you
stop talking for two minutes that's it for goodness sake will this live stream
ever end yes it will very soon don't worry because I'm gonna go to bed Julia
says you guys are amazing I I not I don't like you I love you
thank you very much for that oh it's nice to be loved but are you a good
person or a bad person the world is your oyster yes I like that one that's one of
my favorite expressions in the world so the world is your oyster the world is
there for you to do what you want to do it is there for the taking
so if you have a dream something you want to do something you want to
experience a place that you want to go to something you wish to do in your life
while whilst you can breathe and enjoy this thing called life then the world is
your oyster yes yes you can use that as an
expression for it for everyone who want to achieve something in life well you
can do anything the world's your oyster that's it
or you can sometimes say it specifically can't you so if somebody has a specific
talent like they've got a very good voice or they're beautiful they can be a
model and you can say all the world's their oyster because if you've got a
special talent it means that you probably will achieve the heights of
your dreams the height of your career so it can be used to anybody to say well
you can do anything you like because there are lots of opportunities in the
world and if you believe in something and love
for you probably and and you'll you work hard as if you achieve it all it can be
used specifically for people who have got specific talents and you can see
those talents so if somebody goes on a talent show and they've got a wonderful
voice you can say oh look at that they've got a wonderful voice the
world's their oyster you can be used for everybody so they have many
opportunities but it also can be a very inspirational way of saying look go out
there and get what you can if you have something to offer the world go out
there and do it be an individual do something that you want to do follow
your dreams follow your path and give you a life some purpose if you learn
English the world's your oyster how about that Pedro well that was quite
clever Pedro is going now because his favorite television program is about to
start I I must admit I feel very upset salting how could you say that that is
your favorite television show does it bother what what are we being thrown off
for what is Pedro going to see that's better than us excuse me disgusting mr.
Duncan sorry about looking live on air I had a little burp then I was drinking
some water very quickly yes Pedro is going he's going to watch
his favorite soap opera soap opera yes what's that then what's it called head
where is Pedro Pedro Brazil Brazil Argentina Amazon Pedro not only am i the
first time here but I don't write often because I I'm normally busy washing
plates or cooking and that comes from Julia gulia so Julia gulia thank you
very much and you don't often leave messages so thanks a lot another one oh
he's a good one I like this one wild goose chase so you can see it just there
there it is on the corner there oh yes wild goose chase wild goose chase so a
wild goose case is something that occurs when
people search for something or they do something to try and find something and
it is all pointless it is fruitless so there is no conclusion you fight you
don't find what you're looking for you are searching everywhere looking
everywhere trying to find the thing that you are looking for and you don't find
it it was just a wild goose chase because presumably if you're trying to
chase a goose it would be quite difficult you'd waste your time trying
to catch a goose so people often use that don't they an expression to each
other I mean you might I'm trying to think of an example of where you would
use that well the police sometimes use it the police when they're searching for
a criminal and they might get lots of information that is completely useless
so the police say well we thought we knew where the murderer was so we sent
the police there but then someone else said no he's over there he's there so
they went there instead but he wasn't there either so they then someone says
oh no he's in that other town he's gone there so they go there but he's not
there either so the police go on a wild goose chase they don't find the thing
they are looking for it is just a fruitless search yes a fruitless search
and it might not be literally walking about or running about it could be it
could be it could be used figuratively couldn't it for other things as well
that's it yes yes they just sent me on a wild goose chase it was a pointless task
pointless tasks or tasks yes that's it very good I'm getting tired by going in
a minute don't worry Steve I go if you want to
I get the feeling Steve wants to go and I'm gonna go to work to see what I hear
what I said they did because last Sunday Steve let us all down last week
because he went to see his mummy let my mother down did you a mum liked
the flowers she did she loved the flowers and she's flowers used a lot of
water so she's topping them up with water to keep them alive I think the
longer she's kept flowers alive when I bought them for two weeks Wow I know
that's amazing so even though they were very expensive they will probably stay
looking fresh for a long time yes you just keep chopping the base of the stalk
off because it gets blocked up so the water can't go up and then he put some
sugar and some vinegar in the water oh and that keeps the flowers alive
that's very good vinegar kills off the bacteria that can block at the end of
the stem and the sugar gives them some energy so that's a good tip if you want
if you want to get your flowers that you put into the VARs or Vaes if you want
them to last longer put put the water in with a little bit of sugar yes and
vinegar couple of teaspoons of sugar and a tablespoon of vinegar and last longer
Wow very good that's a good way to end Steve okay we will see you later okay
still need to be here Steve is going to clean his teeth and wash behind his ears
and don't forget to wash in your ears as well because Steve always forgets to
wash inside his ears and I keep telling him if you don't do that you will get
carrots growing inside your ears that's what my mum Youth's
my mum used to say that to me ridiculous mr. Duncan what are you saying that my
mother is ridiculous no carrots growing out of your ear is ridiculous all that
information came from my mother and she's never wrong thank you very much
Steve thank you very much and nice to be here most have been on for how long in
an hour am I gonna go this way yes I vanish into
thin air well you can climb out the window if you want oh there's a window
there by if you want to leave by the wind now am I here on Sunday yes good I
shall see you all on Sunday definitely Tatara for now so there he goes mr.
Steve has left the room he has gone upstairs to clean his teeth and wash his
ears don't forget you have to wash inside your ears as well or else
you get carrots growing inside that's what my mother used to say anyway is
anyone still on the live chat we will have a couple of more of the
Shakespearean quotes that we use nowadays in modern English
how about bated breath if you wait with bated breath
it means you wait and you hold your breath you hold your breath whilst
waiting for something to happen so you wait for it to happen
bated breath good night mr. steve says Jamelia yes mr. Steve has gone now he
has to get his beauty sleep I'm saying nothing Julia yes I can speak Russian
and write in Russian are you sorry mr. Duncan we make conversation behind your
back no Julia it's great I love the fact that people are sharing their
experiences in the live chat and also don't forget the live chat will be saved
so when you watch this live stream later as a recording yes the live chat will
also be there it is a great new feature that YouTube has introduced and I love
it I love it a lot let's have one more and then I will wrap up laughing stock
laughing stock now that was actually a mystery idiom a few weeks ago laughing
stock if someone is the laughing stock it means lots of people around are
making fun of that particular person they are seen as foolish by many people
so that person is the laughing stock the laughing stock so that person has been
trapped by their stupidity they have become
laughing stock I think we will leave it there because we are now coming up
towards midnight we are approaching the midnight hour yes it's true you can see
all of the Shakespeare quotes there so there they are
on the screen and I will see you on Sunday I hope you've enjoyed this very
long late and live stream my legs are actually going to sleep I've been
standing here for nearly two hours can you believe it so here we go it's time
to say goodbye it is time to see you at another time another place maybe in the
future maybe in the past who knows I hope you are feeling good I hope you are
not feeling too tired and maybe just in case it is the start of your day I hope
you have a super day I will see you on Sunday we are talking about lots of
things I think we're going to talk about rules breaking the rules and getting
into trouble with the police yes that's what we are going to be
talking about on Sunday so I hope you will join me from 2:00 p.m. UK time for
another live English stream this is mr. Duncan in the birthplace of English
