Oh, you have, have you? Do you mind me asking just how close this relationship might be?

Loud music is an absolute pain and inconsiderate. Personally, I don't like any type of music, especially self-indulgent sentimental bilge. I do like to open my windows and listen to the birds singing but I'm afraid in China they've either poisoned or eaten most of them.

It doesn't matter who you are, in public you shouldn't be flaunting and snogging the locals- that just makes good common sense, I would have thought. There are bolshy twits around these days who confuse pig-ignorance with assertiveness- "I can do what i like and care not what you think" type of attitude, meaning of course 'I respect you not.'

I can't blame the authorities for wanting to show such arrogant yobs the door. The fact that China if far from perfect has nowt to do with the price of fish.
