Episode 54 – Fast as Lightning! ⚡?

Happy Birthday Usian Bolt! ? We use this as an excuse to talk about RUNNING ?? PLUS talk of KILLING Robbie Williams ?, Kung Fu Fighting ? the video that EVERYONE is talking about in the UK ?, some SERIOUS RnR Grammar and some SERIOUS RnR vocabulary….

How’s London treating you?
Usian Bolt smashed the world record
It’s never too late to take up a new sport
I don’t want to open a can of worms talking about Pro Evolution Soccer (on the PlayStation)
He’s a year younger than us and look what he has achieved
The man had jogger’s rage (click HERE to see the video!)
I’d rather kill him with my hands so I could see the life DRAIN from him eyes (click on the picture to see what a drain is and try to understand this idiom in the context!)
It’s always terrible music which pisses me off
Cheetahs are as fast as lightning
Running boosts your sex drive
Am I getting sacked?

…keep on ROCKIN’ baby! ?

RnR Grammar

Some SERIOUS RnR grammar in today’s show! Right at the end of the episode, Dan said to me:

“Am I getting sacked?”

Why does he use ‘get’ in this sentence? ?

The answer to that question is because the ACTION is being done by SOMEONE ELSE (as Dan would not sack himself, someone else would sack him).

We use this for other things like:

“Did you get your haircut?”

As obviously we do not cut our hair, the action is done by someone else so we say “get your haircut”.

That’s some serious grammar baby ?
