It'sTrueThatISpeakTooQuickly

Yesterday I had lunch in an Indian restaurant in Lausanne with a friend. We were chatting to the waiter and he asked me if I was English. "No", I said, "I'm Australian" and he said "Aah, that's why you sound like Ricky Ponting". As it turned out, what he meant was that I speak incomprehensibly quickly, not that I talk about cricket a lot.

I would have said you had more of the Adam Gilchrist about you. But an Australian speaking quickly is a bit of a rare phenomenon, isn't it? Unless you're Ricky Ponting.

If you were talking and chewing gum at the same time, then you'd look like Ricky Ponting.
