  1. Sounds like a Latin declension of 'twink'.
  2. It seems it's 2 Feb again today.
  3. There's existing discussion on this provider. It's old, so we're leaving it as a separate thread.
  4. Margin of error, rounding errors ... EEEK, THE SKY IS FALLING.
  5. Another random place I've been to comes up here!

  7. The late Holy Father was born in Buenos Aires, his father was Italian by birth, but his mother, like him was Argentine. Not all diaspora Italians hold to their Italian identity the way that many in the US appear to do. Few in Australia would identify as Italian, most think of themselves as Australians first and foremost, while retaining some cultural practices. Some prefer to marry other Italian-Australians. I can't speak to Argentines of Italian descent think of themselves.
  8. Further to this, if the owner is the person who serves you, you don't know whether they have a tip sharing arrangement for everyone doing public-facing work. With a sole trader, you know who sets the price and who would get any tip, in any business with both owners and others serving customers, you don't.
  9. I should of course add, escorts are not alone in this ... and perhaps not the worst offenders ...
  10. As a rule of thumb if an airline sells you a connecting flight, especially through their home base the connection should be fine, and CX does heaps of HKG connections. I can't speak specifically to Chek Lap Kok, but some airports do have security checks for connecting pax, but not all. Sydney does. Like Curious, I've had airline staff assist with a tight connection. Mine was domestic to international terminals on QF connecting flights in Melbourne. No buggy, it was a walk but they knew exactly where to go, and that helped the half dozen affected pax. (I even had time to go to the QF1 lounge.) Most likely you'll be fine, and being CX the agents at the connecting flight will be aware there are pax (well at least one) from your flight if it's delayed. You shouldn't have any problems.
  11. ... more than necessary.
  12. No problems @Gar1eth, I quoted Peter's question and your reply to bring that whole discussion together with my explanation of what I'd done. Plenty of people say things in these pages that help to explain how the whole thing works, including earlier posts here, not just the mods. Every piece of advice helps!
  13. Supermarkets in Australia put hot cross buns on sale on Boxing Day. Normal people only sell them for about the month before Easter. But the ones in the supermarkets must sell as they haven't stopped selling them despite curmudgeons in the papers and on social media complaining (as they scoff the ones they bought).
  14. Okay, although the thread started as one citing his Rentmasseur ad, since then, the discussion has widened to talking about him as an escort (as well as a masseur). In addition, there is an earlier Massage thread (https://www.companyofmen.org/topic/157614-411-on-rikos-from-toronto-visiting-la/#comment-2402460) unfortunately with few comments to date, where massage-related comments can be made. So, there is really no need to either delete or move this thread. MC Mod
  15. Don't be surprised if they do not take you up on this suggestion!
  16. The more so when they are smart.
  17. Moderator's Note Gentlemen, a little banter is fine, but once it descends into a constant to and fro about each other and not the topic at hand, it needs to stop. Remember to attack the arguments, not each other, and also a reminder that hijacking a thread to try to direct content in a way that you prefer rather than the OP's intention is in contravention of Forum Guidelines. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
  18. I've found that holding one's breath has a higher success rate in stopping unwanted comments in the forum, but back to talking about personality changes, not about each other (unless we are the ones having said changes).
  19. There is an apocryphal story of a new hire at IBM making a mistake that cost the firm $1m. When he said to his manager that he expected to be fired for it, the manager's reply was allegedly, 'Why would I fire you when I've just spent a million bucks training you?'
  20. Again, mentioned earlier.
  21. He was mentioned in a more general London thread a couple of days ago.
  22. Haha, this Australian read it without a second thought. Torch is THE word for what some call a flashlight.
  23. @sam.fitzpatrick, I saw it last night and echo your assessments. I'm not one for a finer analysis of all aspects of a performance, I'm more a 'like/dislike' sort of critic. I'll leave that to you, B and others. I thought that the blending of real sets with projections into the background worked well, and liked the Moorish character of the columns in some scenes. Whether that was a conscious to portray the 'exotic' of the potion and its purveyor, I can't say but it had that effect. The show was spectacular and fun, but a reminder that eternal life might not be all the fun it first seems to be.
  24. Language inflation is a thing in the US (and elsewhere, of course) that is pervasive when people are offering assessments of many things, not just escorts and masseurs. Four out of five in a restaurant review? Heaven forfend! I can remember over 30 years ago as a foreigner working with the US armed forces, anything other than a maximum 9 score in any of the many questions on an annual report was seen as a kiss of death. There was even a perception that different superlative words had a ranking of which were the best superlatives to use or what each of them actually meant! Yes, everything being amazing means that nothing really is, but consider the alternative of saying that something was 'good' or 'very good'. It might well prompt the question of what was wrong with them that you only say they were 'good'. You can't win
