And I'm Rob. Feifei, feeling hungry?

Rob, they smell amazing!

Almost there. We're having a special treat today... waffles!

Rob is making waffles, those lovely, crispy little cakes with raised squares on the surface.

Absolutely! My favourite. But what are we going to put on them?

Oh that's simple, strawberries and syrup.

What about you?

OK, I'm not so sure. I mean, I used to always love them with honey and bananas.

But they do taste amazing with melted chocolate.

Or... with cream.

You know, I recently tried one with peanut butter, not a good experience.

I guess strawberries would be worth trying... Or mango.

But only if the mangoes are fresh...

Rob?

Yes?

Can you stop waffling on?

Ah, very clever. Perfect time to use that phrase! I do need to stop waffling on, don't I?

Yes, please. To 'waffle on' means to talk and talk without saying anything very useful or interesting.

I am sometimes guilty of that.

Let's hear a few more examples.

I think I did really badly in the interview.

I wasn't sure how to answer the questions, so I just waffled on.

Meetings with Frank are frustrating.

He always waffles on about unimportant things. Someone needs to have a word with him.

I used to find her blog really interesting and inspiring, but these days she just waffles on about her pet tortoise.

There we are. To waffle on. At least we don't waffle on in this programme, do we Rob?

Well, I must admit that sometimes people have said I do talk rather a lot, especially when it's about travel or languages... which reminds me I really should book my next holiday...

I've been considering Croatia, though I...

Rob?

Ah. Am I waffling on?

I'm afraid so.

Ooh, it's waffle time!

Great. Hopefully these tasty waffles will keep you quiet for a while.

Are you saying the waffles will stop me waffling on?

Yup! Now, enough talk... Oh, these waffles are delicious.

Not bad, eh?!

Bye.

Bye.
