  Okay, so this particular advanced lesson is all to do with idioms in idioms about fruit.

  So number one is going bananas.

• 00:59

  Because if you catch a glimpse of it, you won't think you're going bananas.

• 01:02

  Well, when we feel we are going a little bit crazy, or somebody is,

• 01:07

  or the kids are running around and screaming, oh gee, I'm going bananas, they are driving me bananas,

• 01:13

  the noise, I wish they could go out the side and play, but it's been raining cats and dogs,

• 01:19

  so they can hardly go out there, they'll catch their death of cold.

• 01:22

  So unfortunately, I have to put up with the noise, but I'm really going bananas.

• 01:27

  So I can't wait for their father to come home so he can take over and I can have a rest.

• 01:33

  Okay, so to go in bananas or some project that you're working on could be driving you bananas.

• 01:39

  I just can't figure this out.

• 01:41

  I mean, I have all the statistics here and I've tried but it just doesn't make sense.
