Your thoughts about this video

Brian Freeman
Hi Bert, My mate also has the same gizmo that you do, but only uses it with close friends because he is embarassed to use it. I will show him your video and maybe he will realise that its other people who should be a little more careful in what they say, not him. Thanks for your courage in sending this video in Bert and the best of luck in the future.
