But Harrods is such a mess of a store. Chock full of tourists. It's an exercise in day-drinking and extreme patience.

 

You'll have better experiences on Oxford or Bond streets.

Oxford Street (and Regent Street) are AWFUL during Christmas. Definitely not better than Harrod’s. Depending on what you’re looking for maybe King’s Road in Chelsea, the side streets in Mayfair and Covent Garden (i.e. not the piazza) or even Spitalfields would be more bearable

Gays are pretty much all over London but maybe slightly more concentrated in SoHo/Covent Garden or Vauxhall.

I like the St Martin’s Lane Hotel. Certainly has the vibe and gay couples are a common sight.( to clarify, it’s not a “gay” hotel...it’s just stylish and close to SoHo)

For life?

 

Did you read the judge's statement when million-milers took United to court via a class action for taking away some lifetime benefits (and lost the case)?

 

United got away with the "fingers-crossed" defense.

 

There was a lot written about the lawsuit but here is a short version which lets us million milers know that United can change its mind on anything and get away with it:

Did they take away lifetime gold for those people?

I get that you feel insulted that you have to pay more to get 1K, but why shouldn’t people that pay more get more benefits? I have actually been pretty mad for some time that my tickets cost more yet the extra GPUs are based on miles flown rather than how much I’ve spent. Some people are better off, some are worse under the new system.

The million miler program is your “loyalty“ program. Fly 1MM BIS miles and you get UA Gold and Star Alliance gold for life, regardless of how many miles you fly a year.

The answer is it depends on the routes you travel and what type of ticket you buy. In my case, under the previous FF rules I would earn approximately 22,000 redeemable miles for my typical west coast-Europe round trip. Under the new changes, I peg at the maximum 75,000 redeemable miles per round trip. Even with devaluation I make out quite a bit better.

In terms of benefits, the best are free same day change and free changes and cancellations for your mileage tickets (which basically means every award ticket is fully refundable). I also don’t have problems using my systemwide or regional upgrades and I like the flexibility next year where GPUs and RPUs are interchangeable.

So for me the answer is: yes

Saw him at a bar last week. Cute looking but is blonde now and not nearly as cut as in his publicity shots.

Nate is pretty awesome. Maus is awesome too. From personal experience, together they are mind blowing!

Here’s what’s on dating-hookup apps:

1. Catfishes

2. Time wasters

3. Serial killers

4. Serial chatters

5. Incels ( socially retarded)

6. Bad manners

7. Fakers

8. Potential poor performers in bed

9. Cheaters

10. Bad Hygiene/ Ettiquette

Are you talking about dating apps or RentMen? I think it’s the exact same list

Pretty common scam on Grindr nowadays. Glad you listened to your big head and did not fall for it!

They’re nice. I like them a lot.

Except for the 10 billion people that are always crowding them. They are a zoo.

PS - the UA former Global First Lounge at LHR is the best in the system

I met him a few years back in Europe. He’s blonde blonde (unless he’s colored his hair)

Sorry. I think Narita is the least friendly airport in the Free-world. I’ve gotten misdirected there too many times. I now will only negotiate it in a wheelchair which I marginally need in any event.

Recently flew TG F connecting to NH F BKK-NRT-LAX. NH chaperones their F passengers from connecting flight onto their flight so no chance of getting lost. Wonderful experience...getting driven literally THROUGH the TG lounge to the TG F Lounge, the hour long Thai massage before the flight, and a whole bottle of vintage Krug to myself in NH F (with Hibiki 17 as a chaser).

Krug>>>Dom

Just an FYI l: I went to Adonis Saturday the 4/27 at 12 and there was no one to report. Even still I was charged 10$, even though there was literally 7 seven people there (myself included).

 

I left from the spunk party just to check

I think everyone was at the pop-up nude party. It was packed

He’s very cute. Quite friendly and outgoing personality.

Vander (Chaosmen). Fuck yeah! ("to do" not "done"). Sadly, no evidence he 'scorts.

Actually he has an expired ad on RM...

But yeah if he were ever available I’d be on a plane that same day!

Real guy is 5’8” at best. Unlikely to be him

Mike Gaite! Lives in San Jose but travels quite a bit. Oral Master.

He looks great!

NY, LA and London are tops IMO

That’s too bad. There was always great eye candy from the crowd at Atlas Social Club (in addition to the dancers).

Singapore has fantastic food culture, especially street food. You could easily combine it with a trip to Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City or Cambodia/Siem Reap.

Hunter in Vancouver BC is a lot of fun: https://rentmen.eu/HunterSexHealer

I think it’s a fake ad. At best the guy is 5’7”/5’8”, not 6’2” as stated in the ad. He’s almost always at the Spunk party at Monster on Thursdays. If you’re interested, chat him up there

I think @IronMaus is referring to Nate Stetson but I haven’t seen his ad in a while. He may have retired?

Vancouver, no contest (and I live in SF).

I didn’t know Vancouver, WA was such a mecca for Japanese food

All kidding aside, Vancouver, BC is excellent especially for ramen and izakaya style food. It doesn’t have the breadth of higher end places like LA and NY though.

SF is better than average and there are a number of good/great places, but it’s can’t compare at the low end to Vancouver, BC and high end to NY/LA.
