Nice.

And of course over the years came Des, Dave, Matt, for these guys we feel like was really our friends! Is the friend to whom i want to show my new watch, or to discuss about that or to programme together the next running in our spare time. Simple as that! So thank you guys all!

Unbelievable. So he CAN talk normally. He chooses to talk fast in his videos, makes no sense. Many people have told him to talk slower but he won't listen.
