It's a youtube link, you're safe.

On the other hand, the content is quite skewed and rambling.

the poll needs a "he doesn't make sense" option.

I watched both videos. It's just a Briton with a problem with a Director in BBO.

He doesn't sound like a Briton, and his country is given as France.

The video was too boring to watch to the end; more interesting though, there is a comment from two years ago by someone called tgwnn.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Of course he's not French, but apparently that's where he lives. However he doesn't sound British - I think he's antipodean.

And where did I claim that because he was not American, therefore he's British? I was just eliminating one possible country.

If you read that implication, that's your problem.
