Now, am I popular or have I just been secretly downloading umpteen Hollywood blockbusters and for some reason parking them on my website?<\/p>\n

I’m afraid that if you go to my site now, www.williamgallagher.com, you don’t get in. Apple’s switched it off because I’ve exceeded the limits on how much data can be transferred from it. I have to say that makes me feel great: enough people are grabbing my UK DVD Review podcast that I’ve been shut down.<\/p>\n
