    Does anyone who gets the rag know if they apologised yet?

    Unfortunately true. but I've taken to translating Apple Daily, which seems to publish news using the guideline "if it bleeds, it leads" .... Including minibus wrecks, local robberies, jumpers, stabbers, etc. It's much more fun to read than SCMP.

    Yes... the consolation prize is that you still get to buy $500 worth of stuff from shopinhk, but instead of using a voucher, you use your credit card.

    I bet it is something like "black american 70s boxer" or something as generic as that.
    As long as the quote was encased in quotation marks ".." . Other wise all black boxers look the same ......... to google.

    Apparently HK police suspect foul play in the death of Joe Frasier

    They're currently grilling George Foreman

    That is weird. When Foreman, Frazier, Ali, etc boxed I was a huge fan. Admittedly a bit tired today but even the thread title didn't make me think it was other than Smokin' Joe for at least a minute or so. In part, some of that comes from some of the film footage from recent years where it is clear boxing has taken a toll on these guys.
