Fair enough :wink:

I'm making a note in my diary... when LegCo election comes up next year, those are the 2 questions I'll be asking the candidates! Wonder what response I'll get from them... apart from "bonk off, you idiot" :roll:

Ha ha ha ha ha... aren't Steve Vines and his talented Spike team just hilarious. Poking fun at those dumb corrupt mainlanders really is satire at its cutting edge best. Reminds me of Nury when he does that brilliant column "Asians who can't spell when writing in English." I think Nury is a tad funnier though.

But well done anyway, Insomniac, for repeating it here.

I really must buy Vines a pink gin next time I hear his voice in the FCC. That's as long as he isn't driving. He's got a brand new, top-of-the-line Jag, don't you know. Oh clever Hong Kong Gweilos. They weally are the smartest what.

My one would be:

Foreman, please put those crates in front on the fire exit.

Chance of a translation of it into Mandarin, Fortune?

Cheers.
