iTunes, and Sting, banned from China

@Drew

Cheers Fella, confirmation that I'm not going nuts!!! If I remember correctly, I was saying how I preferred living in China - go figure! I'm not entirely sure how this all works, but something's amiss.. Guess it serves me right for checking El Reg from work (government owned company).

In the land of the free (!)....

Mine's the 'copter with patented tech from the US... :o)

She can't decide it's OK to sip on a Coors until she's 21... poor innocent child.

Paris, because she gargles Coors.

Babelfish brilliance

I won't hear a word said against babelfish! Working over here in China it's an essential tool. I'd be lost without being able to understand my e-mails from Shiny Happy Jade like Budda delegating responsibility in his absence to steam riding urinating sheeps all...
