Anastasia's English is more confident and Richard has a tendency to
throw in lots or ersm ahsm uhms - its not wrong but its not .....


That probably has a lot to do with her video being scripted. Where she's not directly
reading from a script, she's simply reciting memorized lines. Whereas Richard is freely
thinking in many.

As someone who has had Richard as a guest in my home for 4 days just a couple of weeks ago, I can assure
you that in normal speech he does not. Not even after a glass of wine or two.

Now I am off to Iceland in 5 hours, and have voted what I can vote, so I'm really hoping that some more
people will come charging inn and save the day.

What we've seen these past 48 hours or so has been fantastic! Richard went from a distant 3rd place to, with your help, attaining a solid lead ahead of Banana Man.

The competition will be over by about the time I wake up tomorrow. I would like to make one more plea on behalf of all of us who have been fighting for Richard:

If you voted, please encourage everyone else you know to vote for Richard.

If you haven't voted yet, please don't think that this is over with. We took the lead when we were far behind and Banana Man can still win this. Let's send a solid message out there that the person advocating multilingualism is going to come from this forum.

VOTE FOR RICHARD AUS GROßBRITANNIEN!

I didn't for one minute think that he does. I know how difficult it is to produce high quality video. I come over all funny if I am ever videoed hence you won't find video of me anywhere.
