The RnR vocab that you will learn in today’s show:
Is that the plan out of the window now?
It’s really cheesy
Such a good Samaritan doing volunteer work in Cambodia
I was paid a pittance
Made a video, chopped it up
We made the video just to make ends meet
Talk me through how you make the videos
Really accost them and get in their face
What’s your favourite number?
We did a gig at a house warming
It’s an absolute banger!
You’ve blown me out of the water
You like talking about farts and minges
I’ll be bored shitless
I’ve got a new stance for pooing
I don’t want to see my turd on the toilet seat
It’s a real ball ache
I had been absolutely done! (about computer)
A see you next Tuesday
He gave me a look of disdain

RnR Grammar
In today’s episode, Harry said “I’ve got a new stance for pooing”, but what’s the difference between “I have a new stance for pooing”?
This is a question I had recently on a RnR English Family episode, and it’s very interesting, as many people don’t know the difference!
Well, in the positive, it’s the same! Both examples given above are correct and are the same.
But what about the negative? “I haven’t got a new stance” is ok, but what about “I have not a new stance”?
The answer is that the second one (I haven’t a new stance) is INCORRECT! As in this sentence, the verb ‘have’ is a normal verb, so we need an auxiliary verb to make it negative. At the moment, it’s like saying “I play not rugby”, to make an affirmative sentence negative, we need the auxiliary verb ‘do’, so just like we say “I don’t play tennis”, we would say “I don’t have a new stance”.
And if you’re wondering why “I haven’t got a new stance” is correct, it’s because the verb ‘have’ is an AUXILIARY verb in this sentence, so that’s why we need ‘got’, as auxiliary verbs need to be followed by another verb in a sentence!
Now that is some SERIOUS RnR Grammar!
