  1. Wanting to buy Swarowski or wanting to see before buying?
  2. Posted without comment.
  3. Same, in 1976 and 1981. I haven't been to Chek Lap Kok yet, although I was on the point of booking Cathay for my trip next week (I'm flying American, maybe to my regret, I'll report on Tuesday!).
  4. Aviation is not just about the present, but also its storied past. One iconic piece of that history has just marked its centenary, the opening of Hong Kong's legendary Kai Tak airport, with that memorable sharply banking turn on approach. To mark the anniversary Cathay Pacific did a low level flypast of the old airport site, broadcast on big screens at Kai Tak stadium. 41K views · 594 reactions | Cathay Pacific’s A350 flyby of Hong...

  5. I haven't tried to make this ... yet. I have a tub of banana pulp in my freezer that is slowly expanding as bananas in my fruit bowl pass their use-by date. I usually only buy two or three at a time, so it's not expanding too quickly. This has given me an incentive to let a few more age out, and use them to make this. All the essential food groups, chocolate and ... oh, whatever the other ones are ... Chocolate Tahini Banana Bread | Nigella's Recipes | Nigella Lawson WWW.NIGELLA.COM I love the subtly rich smokiness of tahini, but I have only enjoyed cooking with it since I turned away from the...
  6. Welcome to the forum, @IrishStudXL. As you have seen you can get a lot of love here, even when people don't know that you'll read it. Unfortunately, not everyone will comment positively. Friendly engagement with the forum, while gently pushing back on anything you think is incorrect or unfair will win over neutral observers. I hope you drop by again and contribute to our discussions.
  7. Sorry, I know what we're all here for, but I was replying to the post above it, not the thread in general.
  8. There are 99 reviews on this ad, and they go back to 2015, not sure how much more you need. Several of them refer to him as 'Dario' so that may have been a previous RM handle he used.
  9. I hadn't noticed what he was wearing.
  10. His ad indicates he will be in New York next week.
  11. Yes, but I don't recall when I first heard it.
  12. 💯 People should utilise 'use' instead.
  13. Gentlemen, this is not complicated, the thread asked for opinions, and any debate about those opinions is fair game. It did not invite you to troll other members by saying that their opinions are wrong, or that their experiences, which may differ from yours, are invalid. Discuss the topic, not each other. We have removed a small number of comments, but not all that went down the path I described, but that doesn't mean that those that remain need to be replied to. Thanks, guys.
  14. What? Don't you think using 'era' is so cringe?
  15. Yes, the answer is so obvious!
  16. Neither of the two chains e-mail copies of receipts, but one (not the one I bought the spinach from) gives you an option in your loyalty account settings to opt out of printed receipts in the store, and instead access them in the account. It also updates your points and bonuses from the purchase instantaneously, while the other takes a couple of days to do it. Not that that matters in the grand scheme of things.
  17. I've just had an interesting grocery-shopping-adjacent experience. A couple of days ago I bought a pack of baby spinach leaves from one of the two big supermarket chains here that I have a loyalty card for. This evening I received an e-mail product recall notice for the spinach, in which they noted that their records showed that I had purchased them. The e-mail went on to say I could obtain a refund for the purchase, and that if I didn't have the receipt the e-mail could be used as proof of purchase. I'm still cynical about how they use loyalty programmes for data collection, but at least they also use it for our benefit at times.
  18. Moderator's Note Gentlemen, cut the sniping at each other. Whether or not he smoked has been a point of contention but since posts about it have ranged over 10 days, the potential for him to have changed his ad, for members to have an incorrect or incomplete recollection, or to have misread in the first place is not insignificant. There is no reason for anyone to assume, much less claim that a differing recollection is a sign of bad faith on anyone's part. So, say you don't agree or don't remember it that way but don't make your response personal. Now, back to the escort in question.
  19. Nah, a scale of 1-10 would be the metric one. The Imperial one would be from -5 to √37.
  20. I wanna get Clarked.
  21. Sweden - on the left, next to Australia, not visible in the picture. I'm sure this is not accurate!
  22. Gentlemen, please stick to discussing the show and not each other.
