  5. Good old Jakub Stefano, still one of the most beautiful men on the Internet.
  6. Very nice indeed. Great body and no tattoos! Sydney in August. The current quarantine will have to lifted by then.
  7. I once read Joan Sutherland saying this was her favourite opera house. Apparently the acoustics are amazing.
  8. “It is the essence of a wise social system to label certain harmless practices as “sin” but tolerate those who perform them whereby the pleasure of wickedness is obtained without harm to anyone.” -Bertrand Russell
  9. What do call a herd of happy cattle? A laughing stock.

    Death in Venice

    Thank you. Great eye candy. This production of course has nothing to do with Benjamin Britten or Thomas Mann. I’m reminded of a quote from the late Clive James that Germany no longer sends its armies to invade Poland but sends its producers to invade the world’s opera houses. He might have added they practice their manoeuvres on home turf particularly in Stuttgart.
  11. There was an excellent coverage of her art and life on Opera magazine.
  12. He seems to be into very little.
  13. What do you call 2 worms in love? Soil mates.
  14. His Rentmen reviewers certainly like him, if they are to be believed.
  15. Can I ask a very basic question? When it comes to oral it is not totally clear as to who is “top”, the escort or the customer?

  17. Cute, but not $500 an hour cute.
  18. I despair of people who hold racist, xenophobic views. In a thoroughly perverse way you are right. They are being “honest” in their own obnoxious way. Whether an excellent site such as this where very diverse topics and issues are raised in by and large an intelligent and constructive manner is the right forum for such people is another matter.
  19. None of those links work.
  20. I thought I’d heard everything but I was wrong. Penis extensions and thickening, pectoral implants now this. What next?
  21. Very impressive.
  22. There was a Supreme Court case in Sydney nearly 10 years ago where it came to light that a recently divorced doctor, a specialist, met a woman through an introduction agency. He paid $200,000 to the agency and spent a weekend with the woman and fell instantly in love . She told him she had to leave the country urgently but would return. Then came the sob story requests for money for every conceivable reason. The bottom line was that he paid a total of $3.1 million over an 18 months period. As it transpired he was the only client of the agency and this woman was the only one on offer. It was a conspiracy between the woman and the owner to rip off the doctor. They purchased property, a Porsche, a Lamborghini, BMW. You name it. The doctor was left bankrupt and sued for his money back. The judge hearing the case opened his written judgement with the words ''The case was so fantastic as to strain credulity.'' He directed that all the money paid by the doctor be repaid to his bankruptcy estate except the original $200,000. What people will do or pay for ''love.''
  23. Wordsworth, Hazlitt, Coleridge, Arnold, Bronte, Browning reincarnated? PS Meant as a compliment.
  24. Beautifully written. You are obviously a very fine human being.
  25. This is an attitude that is mercifully very rare on this forum. Civility and courtesy and respect for other opinions are usually the order of the day.
