  Hi there and welcome back to our weekly podcast.

• 00:13

  It's good to talk to you again.

• 00:15

  And we're going to start off as we did last week, a little bit of a change.

• 00:20

  The first one I'm going to give you again some expressions.

• 00:24

  I'll explain each of them.

• 00:25

  There'll be three expressions and I'll give you some examples and hopefully you'll be able to work through them.

• 00:32

  And again, if you have any problems, well, you know where I am and how you can contact me, and I'll give you the details at the very end of the podcast.

• 00:40

  Okay, so we're going to talk again about time.

• 00:44

  So we had three of these expressions in the last podcast last week.

• 00:50

  I'm going to give you three more now.

• 00:52

  So the first one, all the time in the world.

• 00:56

  All the time in the world.

• 00:59

  So what does that mean?

• 01:00

  Well, it literally means that you've nothing else to do, or you've got so much spare or free time that you can afford to do whatever you want, wherever you want and with whom you want.

• 01:16

  Okay?

• 01:17

  So if a friend contacts you and asks you could you come round to his house and help him with some decoration or some gardening, or to fix his car, whatever it might be, you can say, sure, no problem, I've got all the time in the world.

• 01:34

  I've got all the time in the world.

• 01:37

  Often refers to people who perhaps have taken retirement or early retirement and they've really nothing to do.

• 01:45

  They may not have any hobbies and they are are quite happy to help people as the opportunity arises.

• 01:52

  For example, somebody's daughter calls and says, dad, I got a problem.
