Luke Likes 'Painless'

Painless, without pain. Who doesn't want that? I do, I do, I do, yes please. Yeah, that would be nice, that would be nice, definitely ff we could live without pain. Maybe one day, but for now there are treatments, so there are some ways to get better, treatments. And thank God, thank God.

So let's take a cold, for example. If you catch a cold you can always find some treatments. Well, first thing, first thing you should do is stay in bed, stay in bed, and get plenty of rest. That's for sure. And besides that, drink plenty of fluids, fluids, yeah. Well, I do sound like a professional medical help. I am not, definitely I am not. But that is what I would do. Seems reasonable, reasonable.

And in case of fever, if you run a fever, so you have a high body temperature, maybe take an aspirin. And for runny nose, runny nose, don't forget about the tissues, tissues. That's all you can do here. But overall, not that serious, not that serious.

Not as serious as injuring your leg, for example. Injuring your leg might be a little more tricky, tricky to treat. So first of all, if there is a swelling, I would put some ice on it, put some ice, Ice, ice, ice pack on it to keep it cool, keep it cool. Yeah, that would definitely help the swelling. You could also try and rub in some ointment, ointment. And it's definitely good to avoid, avoid exercise if you injure your leg.

But if that doesn't help, well, it's time to see a doctor and run some tests. Probably you should have an x-ray, x-ray, and then see what's next, what's next. And then it gets really serious. Well, it might, it might, it doesn't have to, obviously. Hope, let's hope for the best, let's hope for the best. Let's hope it is not broken, it is not broken. And let's hope you don't have to put it in a cast, in a plaster cast.

Yeah, and what if you feel exhausted, very, very tired. All the time, that seems like a complex issue, complex, so complicated problem, difficult problem. Well, obviously you need plenty of rest and plenty of good sleep, good quality sleep. Not that easy for me, actually. Perhaps, perhaps, so maybe, perhaps it's the diet. So you should follow a specific diet. You should definitely not forget about regular exercise. And if that doesn't help, maybe run some tests. And see a specialist, see a specialist, and that's the way to go.

And finally, what to do if you cut your hand, in the kitchen, for example, while cooking, while cooking. Happens to everyone, happens to everyone. Well, you need to stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding, so stop the blood from coming out. So if it's small, you can put on a small bandaid, bandaid, or plaster, a plaster, a bandaid, or bandage it, bandage it. Anyone can do that.

Not everyone can put on the stitches if the cut is very serious, you get that at the hospital. Don't try and do that yourself. That's a no-no. And maybe a painkiller, painkiller, to help and manage, manage the pain. But if not, well, call an ambulance, call ambulance, and go to hospital.

There is no way around it, no way around it then. Sorry. We do want it to be painless, painless, don't we?

Yeah, let's keep it this way.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Finally, finally found some time to be here. I found some time to be here, and I'm recording, I'm recording. I didn't know if I could make it, but I am, I am recording.

I'm glad, because I was having dinner, I was having dinner with my family, and I was hanging out with them, maybe a little too long, too long, because it's Sunday, and thought, 'Oh, I have a podcast to make'.

Eventually, it will.

Luke Likes 'Negative'

Complain and complain and complain. Oh my, complain. Sounds bad, sounds bad when you complain, right? It does sound bad. And in English, when you complain, it means you are not happy or you are not satisfied, satisfied about something and you are annoyed, annoyed, so a little irritated, annoyed, irritated because something is wrong. And plenty, plenty of things can be wrong about your accommodation.

So let's have a look, let's have a look at some negative reviews, so opinions left by the guests, the guests who stayed at a place, and they are not really happy, they are quite annoyed and would like to complain about it.Are you ready for this much fun? Yeah, let's go.

So here's the first one about the noise, the noise, so the loud, unpleasant, unpleasant sound:

'So the evening noise was all the time, all the time and I had to keep the windows closed because of that which was very irritating and we couldn't get fresh air because of that'.

Alright, quite reasonable, so logical, reasonable, we don't like the noise. Here comes another one, another complaint, complaint:

'Okay, little light, little light and the lift broken, the lift was broken, the soap was missing, missing - so there was none - and the light in the kitchen cannot be turned off completely so it has to be on all the time'.

Fair enough, fair enough, good complaint, well done. And a lot of people complain about the check-in, so the way they get into the apartment. And here is one:

'So we couldn't get in and we had to stay 30 minutes outside and couldn't get the instructions because they were so complicated, so complicated and nobody, nobody even came, came to help us - that's bad, that's bad - so we had to text and take photos and finally we got in, finally. But overall - so all things together - overall very bad experience'.

Yeah, I agree, seems fair to complain, let's do it then. Yeah, and a lot of people complain about how much space they have, how much space they actually have, actually. Here is a good one:

'So, the single room is really a closet. It's really a closet, not a bedroom. You cannot think it's a room because it's so small. Plus, it doesn't have a window, it must be a closet then, not a bedroom. So good location and a wonderful balcony but it's really the size of a closet, not a bedroom'.

A good one, a good one, a good review. And what about the utilities, some utilities, facilities you can find around. Let's have a look:

'Oh the facilities, oh my God! So we tried one stove they had and one toaster and what happened? Every time we did that, every time we did that, the electricity would go off - so stop working - would go off'.

Quite useless if you want to use the appliances, useless, so there is no use for that, useless. I don't know how you can live like that. And maybe one more, one more here:

'It says here, it says here in the advertisement - advertisment, the official information about the apartment - that there is air conditioning but in fact, in fact it was two fans, two fans, not air conditioning, and the single bed in the ad, in the inadvertisement is really a mattress, is really a mattress that is lying on the floor. That's it, no bed, just a mattress'.

Oh my, you know what? I feel better already after reading all these negative, negative reviews. Good exercise really. So here is an idea for you. How about you complain to me in the comments? I would be very, very positive, positive to read it.

My pleasure.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Comfortable'

We would like to stay in a place, and we would like to sleep over there. We would like to cook, I guess, sometimes. We would like to have a good time, so have some fun over there. Obviously, we would like to have a place where we could wash ourselves, and we would like to be comfortable. That's all we need in a place where we stay on holiday.

And this is it. That's all we need. Not much, and a lot, a lot at the same time. And for that, we would welcome, we would welcome facilities, facilities, so things that make our stay comfortable and easy. Comfortable and easy. Facilities or amenities, amenities, facilities. Both would be fine. Are you very, very comfortable? Are you very, very comfortable, like I am?

So for a comfortable stay, I would love to have some facilities, like obvious ones, standard. So for example, does it have a single bed? Does it have a double bed? And what about fresh bedsheets? Or maybe a duvet? Duvet on a cold day. Also, the heating would be nice. the heating. If it's hot, then air conditioning would be a great thing to have.Car park is sometimes important when you travel by car, and, oh yeah, a lift, a lift. Don't forget about the lift if you travel with a lot of luggage. A lift.

Now, cooking facilities, cooking facilities, if you would like to do that on holiday. Not everyone likes that ,but I think it is nice to have. So, is there a kitchen? Or kitchenette, kitchenette, so just a small kitchen area in your flat, apartment. And what appliances does it have, obviously? Like a fridge, a cooker, a stove top, a stove top, so the place where you can cook your meals. But also small devices, like a toaster, or an essential one, essential, an essential one, an important one, a kettle, a kettle. Maybe an electric kettle, a coffee maker, maybe a coffee maker and a microwave, a microwave for heating up your meals. And a lot, a lot, a lot of kitchenware, so things you can find in a usual kitchen, like pots and plates and forks and spoons and stuff like that. Yeah, very important, essential, I would say.

And when it comes to the bathroom, yeah, you can't do without it, you can't, can you? No. So when you can't do without something, it means it is necessary, it is very, very needed, necessary, you can't do without it. You can't, you just can't. So shower and a bath, a toilet, but also maybe a washing machine, that would be nice. And to go with that, a clothes rack, so a place where you hang your clothes after washing, after washing. Maybe an iron, an iron, to iron your clothes, and an ironing board, ironing board. Small but essential. A hair dryer to dry your hair, and towels, obviously, but also some small things you can find around the bathroom area, so toiletries, toiletries, yeah, like soap and shampoo and some cosmetics. Yeah, that would make your life easier, definitely easier.

And last but not least, which means it is maybe the last one on the list, but it is definitely not the least important thing, last but not least, you will definitely need and appreciate, appreciate, so you will be glad that you have it, you will appreciate, the free wifi and a very good location with a wonderful, wonderful view, view. So you can sit down, lay back, lay back and make yourself comfortable. And maybe listen to your favourite podcast.

Hmm. Good times.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Do you maybe remember, do you remember what you were doing, you were doing, not are doing, you were doing on the 26th, 26th of November last year?

So November 26th, 2024, at 9.30 p.m., 9.30 p.m. ? That's very exact, exact, so detailed, detailed, exact. So, do you remember what you were doing at that exact time? Because I, I do, I do. I can tell you exactly what I was doing, I was doing, I was doing at that time.

'Oh why Luke, why? You must have such a great memory. Just brilliant'. Nope, nope, that's not that, not that. So I do remember what I was doing, thanks to, thanks to the magic, the magic of podcasting, podcasting.

Were they sitting outside? Or maybe they were staying at home, they were staying at home and doing something else. What were they doing at that time? What were they doing at that time? Do you remember? I do, I do, I do exactly, exactly remember. I exactly remember what they were doing.

That was evening, that was quite late and not much was happening, not much was happening. Do you remember that, that not much was happening? Maybe you do, maybe you do.

And while I was recording and talking to you in English, I was drinking something, I was drinking something. Was it tea? Was it coffee? Was it water? Or maybe I was having something to eat. Do you remember? Oh was I smoking? ... No, I wasn't. Or maybe?

Yeah, the 26th of November, Tuesday evening last year, 9.30 p.m. What were you doing when you were listening to this podcast for the first time? Were you going to sleep or maybe you were just waking up? You were waking up and still lying in bed.

Maybe the next day you were lying in bed and you were listening to that episode for the first time. Was it raining back then or was it snowing? Was it hot? Was it cold outside? Maybe you were going for a walk or maybe you were running, you were out running and listening to that episode.

What were you doing? So you remember? Were you ironing? Were you ironing and listening? Were you doing the cleaning, were you cleaning up your apartment, your house? Or your garden? Were you cleaning your garden and you were listening to that episode for the first time?

Were you going to school or were you driving to work? Maybe you were coming back from work or from school and listening to that episode.

What was exactly happening on that evening, on that evening? Oh, how to find out, how to find out? It's not right here, right now, is it? It is right here, it is NOT right now. It's back then, in episode 21, 21.

You might go and find out for yourself.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!

Luke Likes 'Coin Flip'

So I'm almost there, I'm almost there in Lisbon, in Lisbon, but still have to book the place. Oh gosh. So help me out here, help me out please. I'm down to three apartments to choose from. I'm down to three apartments to choose from and I don't know which one to choose.

Here it is, apartment number one. One bedroom, one double bed and one living room and one sofa bed over there. And that's an entire apartment for two people, that's 20 square metres.

Okay, and it is situated, situated in Lisbon City Centre, that's good. All the attractions nearby, I'm not sure about that, if all of them, but alright. That's fully equipped kitchen and modern appliances.

Alright, let me have a look. Okay, looks pretty standard, not very modern I have to say. Oh, the kitchen appliances could be a little better, looks a little old. And let's look outside. Oh, that's a wonderful view off the city, I love it. You can see red roofs from here, very nice old building, I think I love this one.

But let's have a look at apartment two. One bedroom apartment, one bedroom, large double bed and living room, sofa bed. Entire apartment, that's 25 square metres, that's enough.

Alright, and let me have a look at the pictures. Oh, the building looks very pretty. It looks definitely more modern than the previous one, more modern. All facilities, all facilities are very modern and look at this kitchen, yeah, modern appliances and the bathroom looks fantastic, very clean. Oh, I really like it there.

What are other facilities? Oh, here they are. There's lift, a lift and air conditioning. There's a coffee machine and dishwasher, everything here. It's a little more expensive, okay. But what about the view? Oh, it's nothing special really, but I really love the design inside. Very modern place and very very clean. Yeah, I would have to think about this one.

Okay, and apartment three. Okay, here it is. So one bedroom, one double bed and one living room, sofa bed. Entire apartment, oh, 71 square metres. That's huge, huge, big, very big, huge.

Okay, let's look at the pictures. Oh, loft apartment, loft apartment, industrial style. I quite like it.So this is a two level flat, so you take the stairs to get to the bedroom. Very modern and very classy and at the same time very simple.

And the facilities, the facilities over there include spacious kitchen, so a kitchen with a lot of space, that's cool. With all the appliances, very modern, a flat screen TV, free Wi-Fi obviously. There is a work space area here, that's very convenient, but not for holiday. And there's a balcony, which overlooks, overlooks the big square, which is quite pretty.

Yeah, and that's it. Those are the three options that I have and I'm still confused. I think I like the first and the last one most. So the loft apartment and the first one. A small and cosy apartment with a view of the city.

Hmm, okay, now I'm having a hard time choosing. It is a coin flip really. It's a flip of a coin. It's a flip of a coin. So, let's flip a coin. Alright, I've got a coin and heads - I'm staying in the small cosy apartment. tails - I'm going to the loft apartment. Hmm, maybe I'll go one more time. And one more.

Well, it's your turn now. Embrace the day, people!
