So, @BasketBaller the boys are smarter than even you thought, huh? Your love for them has shone through everything you've ever written about them here, and you have conveyed the extent to which they care for you. You may not have thought you were giving much away, but it was pretty clear. Sometimes you need someone else to tell you what you can't or don't want to see yourself. Your boys have seen and now one of them has told you. Don't imagine that they haven't talked about it. They wouldn't have said anything if they didn't think your guy was right for you. I hope you can take their advice. Will it work out? Nobody knows, but if you let him slip without asking, you'll forever regret it. Good luck mate, you deserve to be happy.

Dan Murphy is a chain of liquor shops. Professor Doherty replied to someone who asked, that yes, he had tweeted when he meant to google. [MEDIA=twitter]1254649614466080768[/MEDIA]

I chose not to comment on that. But I echo other comments about being jealous of a shower.

Off on a TOTAL tangent, a couple of weeks ago I was watching a news item about the situation in Italy, and they were filming at a station somewhere in central or northern Italy (I can't remember where) and an ÖBB train went through the station. (I'm not a train spotter, it had ÖBB on the side in large letters.)

Well, this is interesting. Two places at the same time, and logged onto both accounts at about the same time (9hrs ago at 1420 EDT 27 Apr/0230 AEST 28 Apr). https://rent.men/MuscleManMax

David-SF.

Oh, of course! You did indeed! But I neglected to thank you, so I do so now.

It's a thankless task.

Yes, he has, but before today he had only posted on the day he joined and the following couple of days, so 'just started' isn't too far off the mark. Any way, welcome [back] to the forum, @Medjock, there's some fun to be had here. Make your case clearly and with good humour and you'll receive a fair hearing, but you won't please everyone. As you might have noticed. Sometimes it's best to keep your peace.

You've reminded me of one of my childhood meals, salmon pie, which I now feel compelled to make. Cooked rice, a can of salmon (or tuna) and cooked peas, all in an oven-proof dish topped with grated cheddar cheese, in a hot oven for 20 minutes. Possibly with a finely chopped onion in the salmon and rice mixture. Thinking about it, adding a cheesy white sauce to the mixture would be good.

There are a number of coffee vans around Canberra, they usually park at office buildings, set up at sporting and other outdoor events or even park by highways in and out of town. According to someone who rang the local ABC radio station, with the lack of any of its usual outdoor events, at least one of the vans has taken to driving around suburban streets with a loudspeaker the way ice cream vans do. Apparently some streets are quiet but the caller reported that on their street people flooded out of their houses of isolation to buy espresso coffees. Remembering how I jumped at the opportunity to buy a coffee on a trip to the shops after a few days in the house, it doesn't surprise me that a fair number of folk took advantage of the opportunity.

My house in a country town has a 'milk door' but alas there are no milk deliveries. My mother had the house built in 1968 and the milk door was on the side of the house where there was a flat for my grandmother, and she had had one in her previous house. Where I lived in the late 1990s we had milk deliveries, glass bottles that they collected to be reused (not recycled). The milkman supplied a polystyrene foam cooler to keep the milk cool.

Well, this one won't be flying for a bit. An A380 from Singapore Airlines has arrived at the long term aeroplane parking lot at Alice Springs. [MEDIA=twitter]1254182503947972608[/MEDIA]

Twitter runs hot and cold. The bad is the lack of facts you cite and the frequent bitchiness. Also the near impossibility of subtlety or nuance. The good is links to articles that I might not otherwise find, and some of the longer thoughtful threads some people post. The most recent account I follow is John Burn-Murdoch who does a lot of the statistical analysis and graphs for the FT, and tweets in detail most days.

Report from the front, at the Weston Creek Woolworths. I wanted to buy a couple of things this morning, bread being the main one. They didn't have cones and tape marking out a queue to enter, and there wasn't one, but they have installed a sensor-operated barrier at the entrance. They may be using that to limit entry when the shop is busy but it let me straight in so I don't know if it does that. They have also installed an automatic sanitiser dispenser just outside the entry, you just hold your hands under it and it squirts sanitiser into them. In the toilet paper aisle, people were stopping to look at the fully stocked shelves!

Yes, I did. Obviously I haven't spoken to every escort in the world, and my counterexamples don't disprove your assertion but I think there are enough guys, like the ones I cited, to say that your generalisation is unfair. For sure some escorts are messed up, but to say most are, or that they generally are is misplaced.

We're on the way down, but still 20s here, and it's beautiful. BUT, in the next week it's predicted to be 9C.

Exactly, and one would delight in meeting beyond such restrictions and of course with you.

I disagree, although there are plenty of people one might contact who are messed up, that doesn't mean all escorts are. I can think of two, one in NYC and one in Connecticut who are as sharp as a tack in any circumstance. They are not alone.

Hell no, but I'm not greedy, but if I could have one to keep, all the time, I'd be happy.

And maybe you won't. There are plenty of flu symptoms that aren't Covid-19. People who 'think' they might have the virus, get checked, if you're not sure.

Two answers from me. For guys in Australia, I have no idea when I'd be prepared to hire again. There's no-one in my local area that interests me (so far), so maybe when I can travel that will be enough for me to be prepared to hire in places I can go to. As for the US, it doesn't look as if travel there from Australia will be possible any time soon. If that becomes possible, I'd be prepared to hire, and there's one guy in NYC and another in Connecticut that I would meet in a heartbeat. Also a couple of guys in Las Vegas (if everyone isn't killed in a placebo trial), and some LA/OC guys. I'm not lacking in caution, rather, if I can travel to places I'm prepared to take the risk of hiring when I'm there.

I'm sure you could take my mind off it (or vice versa) but travel across the pond is closed. But hey, it's only 34C.

I want one of those!

There should be a law that you have to use the colour appropriate to your preference.
