I think thie thread has now run its course, as it seems one aspect of the discussion has managed, sadly, to drown out most of the quotidian discussions of Angus' practice of his craft.

Moderator's Note Gentlemen, this thread is about one escort, so please return to talking about him. We're done with this discussions about the rights and wrongs of a particular set of interactions with a client. Everything that can be said already has been. Thank you for your cooperation.

I hoped this would be the 451 reference, and not surprised that @azdr0710 would deliver the goods!

He has an Australian phone number, can your phone both send to and receive from foreign numbers? I know I have been unable to contact people in the US because of that issue.

I'm not sure whether comparing Spain and London is a fair way to look at it, London is an expensive city, Spain is a varied country. By all means compare London to Madrid or Barcelona, but in neither country is one major city, or even two, representative of the entire country (or in the UK, or more contentiously in Spain, is one city representative of all the constituent countries).

The 'flip side' seems to me to be a reasonable view to take if you are considering the effect it's having on him (although not realising anything was wrong does not mean that it isn't affecting him negatively, if he can't communicate that it's happened, he also can't communicate what he thinks about it), but surely the test in these cases is the intent of the perpetrator. The crime is defined by what they did, and that is objective fact, not by the impact it has. 'It can't have been too bad, it didn't affect them much' is so often a perpetrator's conceit to justify or excuse their behaviour. We shouldn't let them get away with it.

I read that a British tourist was killed in a random attack in New Orleans on New Years Day, so I'm worried about safety in the USA.

I second Mérida and Guanajuato, although my experience there is very dated, and is as general tourist destinations, not the array of interests usually discussed in this forum.

Two tips would be excessive.

I'm glad you didn't say, '... slices my meat ...'!

A line from Oliver Twist, perhaps?

Gentlemen, thanks to some dedicated research by members, it became clear that a link to a GoFundMe page about a Brian Thompson was not about the CEO but an Air Force veteran who had died some years ago. In retrospect, the link didn't say that it was him, but it left an opening for readers to infer as much, incorrectly. We have removed the link and the subsequent commentary that, as it turned out, unfairly maligned the CEO's family for something they hadn't done. Our thanks to the members who identified the discrepancy and those who commended them for doing so.

I don't care.

OK gents, we're done talking about Covid. Please stick to the topic of the thread.

С Новым Годом! (That's literally 'With the New Year' which is the Russian version.) Or as they would say in Kyiv, 'З новим роком!'

I mentioned the fourth cricket test (the Boxing Day Test) in the thread about Boxing Day. The game has just finished and was an epic. Australia had been on top after the first innings (that ended half way through the second day). India lost early wickets in their first innings but came back by the end of their innings to be far closer to Australia's score than anyone had thought possible. 87,000 and 85,000 people attended the first two day and another 80,000 on the third. It was pushing record territory. In their second innings, Australia's batting collapsed early on making it appear likely that India could score enough in their second to win the game, but in the latter half of the innings Australia ended up making a respectable score. At the start of the fifth day all four results were possible, either team could win, it could be a draw or it could even be a tie. (In a draw, time runs out before one side can score enough runs to win, or the other can bowl all of the opposition out, a tie happens when the final innings of the game finishes with the team all out but the total scores level - there have been two ties in 2,573 tests in history.) India lost some early wickets, and was scoring steadily, but a draw seemed to be becoming the most likely result. Late in the day, India lost more wickets and were eventually bowled out. A tense draw would not have been a completely unsatisfactory result, but as an Australian, a win was better. The largest ever crowd to attend a test match in Australia was 350,000 for an Australia-England test in 1937. This game had 373,000 spectators pass through the turnstiles in Melbourne. It still fell short of the largest ever test cricket crowd of 463,000 at a test between India and Pakistan in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1998-99. With the size of the Indian diaspora here, at all of the games so far, you could be forgiven for thinking that India was the home team! After the game I heard a vox pop with a fan, and when asked whether he was from Melbourne replied, 'No, I've come here from Washington DC for the [previous] Brisbane test and this one, and I've been to all five days.'

Based on personal experience or from reports in the Forum?

This didn't start as a question about an individual masseur, and as it's progressed it's become a general discussion about personal responsibility for sexual health, so we're moving it to the Men's Health forum.

Gentlemen, please resist the temptation to discuss the merits of what others post, or make the conversation personal. And remember this thread was started by @Coolwave35 to ask for advice, and he now seems to have worked things out. He's even told us some of what they had agreed. Precise details beyond that are really none of our business, unless he chooses to share them. Thank you for making this an interesting thread with ideas we might all be able to use in the future.

Gosh, so I had it wrong all along?

People have different, sometimes conflicting perspectives of any event. This whole matter was canvassed at length in the forum, and the client told us that the money had been returned. Some of the posts about it were subsequently deleted or hidden by their authors. The client who raised the issue considered it closed but that doesn't mean that all traces will be removed from the forum.

And how exotic that is!! All sorts of incomprehensible dialects!
