Whatever happens over the next few moments is completely spontaneous.
It is completely ad-libbed.
I like that expression.
If you ad-lib something, it means you are doing it without any preparation.
It was not rehearsed.
The thing you have just done was thought up.
at that moment.
So you might say that this is spontaneous, ad-libbed, I am vamping.
Oh I like that one as well.
If you vamp it means you make it up as you go along.
You are doing it.
on the seat of your pants.
The seat of your pants.
You are doing it completely spontaneously.
Just like this, you see.
I'm standing in the garden.
I'm being attacked by insects.
They're flying all over the place.
and I've not rehearsed any of this and do you know what?
It feels amazing.
Some people might say it's a little bit strange.
What a very strange thing to do.
Mr Duncan,
We like to see our presenters polished and professional.
Well, sometimes I think people like to see things that are unrehearsed and unpolished, such as this.
So everything you are looking at now has not been prepared.
It has not been planned.
It is just me talking off the top of my head.
Whether it's a good idea or not remains to be seen.
It might also seem a little weird.
Now there is a word we often hear used to describe people who do not conform.
If you don't conform to a certain way of behaving
or maybe if you don't conform to society's rules, you might be described as a little bit weird, a little bit odd, perhaps.
I know I have over the years.
People have called me strange, odd.
They have described me as a freak, even.
How could you do that?
How could you describe this as a freak?
Please, I implore you, rethink what you consider to be this.
Thank you very much.
Of course, what people see as weird and strange quite often is their own point of view.
It is their perspective.
You might describe it as their subjective view.
So when we talk about something that is subjective, we are saying that that is the individual's point of view.
Or maybe their
opinion their personal point of view which of course means that they might not be correct they might be misunderstanding your whole personality they might have no idea as to what you are actually trying to do or achieve and that is something that has followed me through my life
You see?
Spontaneous.
I wasn't expecting my neighbour's crazy dog to start barking like that, but there it is.
It's doing it.
And there's nothing I can do about it.
So the next time someone calls you weird, or strange, or eccentric, tell them, you are not strange, you are interesting.
This is Mr Duncan saying thanks for watching this.
See you again soon with another short video blog and I will say what I always say.
Ta ta for now.
