Hi,

that is what a load of tosh Or what a lot of tosh ????

[thedailyenglishshow]

I listened to the guy saying it several times trying to decide whether it was "load" or "lot" and I'm still not sure. I think it could be either. They both mean the same thing anyway. Which word do you think he is saying?

[JStrips]

What is the greeting you use before and after the stick news segment? Also, what does it mean?

[thedailyenglishshow]

Kia ora. It's a Māori and NZ English greeting which means things like: hello, goodbye, thank you. It's also used when you agree with something a speaker is saying, like the English expression "hear, hear". Kia ora is an informal greeting, so it's not usually used in a news programme - but it fits the style of Stick News which is (obviously) not a normal news program :) At the start of Te Karere (a Māori language news programme) they say: tēnā koutou katoa, which is a more formal greeting.

Ditto on that Susan Boyle video! Very cute re-creation of the interview scene =)

@JStrips

is this about Susan Boyle or a lesson in grammar and usage of words?
