Both of those suggestions are also blocked by stupid websense.

But thanks for trying!

Ansbara-thingy, where are the breaks in your name? How do you say it? I've spent ages looking at it thinking Ans-bara-dig-eid-fran? Ansbar-adige-id-fran? And so on.

if you want to get around it simply then use google translate and set it to translate from chinese into english, it doesn't find any chinese so displays the page normally

although they might have blocked that as a route i cannae remember...
