Cheers, Boyce @ 8 Songs,

I know you’re being sarcastic.

@ asti,

@ Daniel,

@ Oenoli,

Maybe they can do a whole series of bottles – pandas hugging koalas, koalas hugging pandas, and… well, I’ll leave it to your imagination.

Cheers, Boyce

Good grace ... might as well say Beijing Olympics to serve fine and rare wines ... Nice efforts though. This is certainly a nice joke with a Chinese twist to it.

For a moment I was absolutely aghast. Your contributor should find a less sensitive subject to make jokes about. That’s not funny! For a moment I was absolutely aghast.
