Should I add please reconsider.

I’m sad. The discussion was often robust but isn’t political debate always robust? The contributors on both sides of the political divide were usually highly intelligent and committed. I for one will miss it greatly.

A witty profile.

Wow! Very nice indeed.

A gay brothel at the university! A tantalising thought!

Hearing him live is my great unfulfilled operatic wish. He has never been to Australia and in my visits to London and Barcelona he is hasn’t been on the roster. One singer I’ve been very lucky to hear many times now is Herr Kaufmann. I’m in London in July and will be able to hear him again at Covent Garden in Werther.

I have only heard Cherubino once sung by a countertenor. It was Covent Garden about 3 years ago. It worked quite well.

He appears to have an identity crisis.

My mugging was in 2005. Let’s say it obviously hasn’t got better.

This would have been a terrifying experience. I have reported my mugging on a few websites trying to ensure that people benefit from my experience and take precautions. The reaction has ranged from appreciation through to making light of the experience (“it can happen anywhere”) and a few who have accused me of making the whole thing up. Brazil has a crime problem. Be very cautious at all times.

You have excellent taste.

Happy Australia Day to all contributors to this esteemed forum!

Very cute

Adorable

How right you are! When my attackers fled the on lookers did nothing to offer assistance. An American gent came to my aid. He saw me from a distance between the parked cars and realised what had happened. He told me that he lived in Rio and preceding months he had been robbed 3 times the last by an assailant carrying a gun. I pointed to the on lookers standing and staring liked stuffed dummies and his exact words were “sir, they won’t help, they won’t help.”

I was mugged on my first visit to Rio in 2005. Almost in front of the Copacabana Palace at about 7 in the evening barely dark. They were 3 thugs came from nowhere pulled me between cars parked at right angles to the kerb, 2 went through my pockets while the other had a semi knife neatly wrapped around my throat. A number of bystanders were only metres away watching like stuffed dummies. I have been back to Brazil 8 times a little wiser. Let there be no doubt Brazil has a crime problem.

I like your taste.

These far right lunatics are all the same. Trump and Bolsonaro’s handling of COVID was lamentable. Going back further into history was Ronald Reagan’s handling of the AIDS crisis. It took him literally years for him to even mention the issue.

Cuties

I like your taste

Absolutely stunning

If he says “no guys” who are those Rentmen reviewers?

Flawless body. No tattoos. Blessed relief!

I’m surprised he’s bisexual.

Reminds me of why I have been to Brazil 9 times.
