Anjali my pet, a very special BIG hug for you, for not only surfacing in this special thread once again - after having been literally the first to remind me of my next birthday shortly after midnight on December 11 last (when I had actually forgotten about it!) - but even more so for adding such delightful surprise for me in the shape of this Montreal speech snippet. And I had so much fun revisiting the special video you had made for me last year.
Thank you so much, sweetheart!🤗
Where on earth did you dig up that excerpt from my speech at the Montreal Council of Foreign Relations? It must have been in mid-2006. I had never seen the recording myself, but then I used to make about 2 such speeches a week, so I never bothered to keep track of them. But this one I remember, for I spoke more than usual in French, to flatter the francophones of Montreal.
I sound quite good, if I say so myself, and I would like to see the whole speech if I can.
Plus you must tell me all over again how to save the two videos, my poppet, for I have forgotten what you told me last year.
Folks, it is only 2:27 minutes, a snippet from what was a roughly 40 minute address, so you can take a look at it without too much effort.I never used a text for my speeches, for that makes it impossible for you to maintain eye contact with your audience, and it looks stagy, but as I had an excellent memory for facts and figures, I had no problem with carrying on for 40 minutes selling India to all comers!
