Not everyone speaks Farsi as their first language, they make up about 60% of the population. About 20% are Azeri (a Turkic language) and 10% are Kurdish. There are smaller groups of Arabs and Turkmen amongst others. The history of Iran/Persia is complicated with all sorts of nuance both implicit and explicit. When I was in the UK in the late 70s, the Daily Telegraph still referred to the country as Persia.

Thanks, that's what I thought. As long as there are advertising sites, people will be able to check where you are from there (whether they do so or not is a separate question), if they were to vanish or become less accessible they (and you) would have to rely more on direct contact to ask. It's still hypothetical, but in the current situation it's timely to explore options.

Short answer yes. Phone numbers work for the commercial phone system (or PSTN). If you are in the same region as the number you are trying to call you can omit the regional label parts of the number (country code, and in most countries the area code) and the system connects you anyway. In the PSTN, the + tells the system to use the international dialling code for the country you're in (be that 011, 0011, 00 etc) so you don't have to remember it. The full number including the + still works if it's a local number so if you travel it makes sense to save the whole thing in your contacts. WhatsApp, on the other hand doesn't use the switching coded into the number, it is just a label for your WhatsApp account, and like any url, it can't recognise part of the label so you need to enter the whole thing.

I read rather less into the question than you apparently have. I took the question to be limited to whether it would be awkward for an escort if someone asked for their contact details as insurance against the possible disappearance of escort ad sites. I didn't think the question implied an expectation that having those details would be a short-cut to hiring in the future. Rather, I expected that the questioner expected to exercise the normal courtesy of giving reasonable notice when they attempt to book an appointment. I'm grateful to any escort who says that the preemptive exchange of contact details is not awkward, and also to those who have posted their details here as insurance of their own. I don't see that doing so gives me any right to contact people at random other than when I actually want to book time.

Pita was the flag bearer for Tonga at the winter Olympics too http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-02-10/winter-olympics:-tongan-flag-bearer-pita-taufatofua-entrance/9418056

Beautiful conceit in the title of the thread!

I wondered.

PM sent.

Eric, happy birthday, have a great day and spoil yourself (and possibly someone else at the same time). I've heard that 40 is the new some other age, but too late for me.

Well, I guess that's a fantasy potential clients could look to. Only to find out that the farmhand isn't as innocent or retiring has he might otherwise have seemed! Be still my beating heart. Anyway (regaining composure). I count myself lucky that I have been here for the last couple of years and have built a list of men I might want to see (not a to do list, just guys I have formed an opinion on), so as long as RM is still there, I won't need any detail in their profile, just some sort of contact detail. That is not to say that this is a desirable outcome, just that I can live without the detail for a while. If the RM site goes to grey, and there is only a picture of each advertiser in a suit with a link to his phone number, I hope that the gentlemen concerned will be patient it I need to ask a question or two to refresh my memory.

I'll miss not seeing you as well, Alex. But I'll be trying to travel to the US in the following months.

http://bryan-knight.com/ As already posted without a link. I've been salivating for a while.

... But I'll be in the US again soon enough. How long is the drive from LV to SLC?

Of course, all Americans should have to experience a 14 hour flight at some stage.

Did it involve canes or riding crops?

You don't think?

I, on the other hand am a confirmed timewaster who just wants Victor to talk to me for free. I mean, it's obvious. I'm not in lust. At all.

Yes, it is interesting. In this case it's competing activists at 50 paces (A-listers on one side and self-selected hospitality workers on the other). I think the discussion needs to be broader. If a waiter in Joe's diner ends up with $7 an hour including tips the system is broken, irrespective of whether someone in an Outback Steakhouse can earn $50. If you have a 40 hour a week job you should be able to live on your pay without food stamps or charity. If employers can't pay that sot of wage they can't afford to be in the business.

Unless you're ashamed of having them (and unless you can readily sell them - unlikely that you can do that) why do you need to get rid of them? Are you afraid that having them in the house might rekindle your addiction? Keep them and look at one or two every so often. If you really must dispose of them, throwing them in the garbage will get them out of the house, and is unlikely to link them to you. If even that is too risky, burn them and ignore the pollution effects. Even just melting them and their containers will make them anonymous.

I'll take that as a fact. Not sure about the bacon though. I'll buy again while they still have them on the menu.

When I was at the football yesterday, Maccas had ads on the perimeter hoardings of the ground for a Wagyu beef burger (limited time only, 'world first'). I mentioned 'a bit fancy'. Australian cattlemen have been increasingly raising Wagyu beef for both the export and domestic markets and it is becoming more mainstream. Had one on my drive home from Sydney, and it was rather good: substantial patty, better quality bread roll, lots of crispy bacon, lettuce and tomato and a savoury sauce. The meal deal with a large flat white was just short of $AU17, which is about what Westernsyd quoted in his earlier post of $35 for two people. The restaurant was absolutely packed (it's on the main highway south from Sydney) on this holiday Monday, so I suspect that they will have been making a profit even with the double time wages they have to pay on public holidays.

Yet another reason to be disappointed not to be there!
