Episode 8 – Why travelling is good for you
Martin Johnston Johnston 
Listen to why travelling is good for you, how I nearly got killed in Thailand and the time Dan and I shared a caravan (see picture below), plus as always, lots of RnR vocabulary such as:
That was a one-off
I owned up to it
Reliable information
I was a rock star once upon a time
It makes your bond stronger
You’ve put me on the spot
Whatever place I pick you’re going to take the piss out of me
We were in the dodgy part of town
Here is the picture of Dan the Man at the caravan mentioned in the podcast in case you’re interested – he seems to be enjoying it here!
RnR Grammar
Similar to last episode’s RnR Grammar point, in this episode I said:
“you’ve always been weak, Dan”
It’s an action that started in the past but STILL in PROGRESS, so why don’t we use the present perfect continuous?
That’s right…. you’ve guessed it… it’s a STATE verb – BOOM!
