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!

I note you have typed Dominiking's handle in but there is no link. Rather than type the whole thing, type the @ then start to type the name (no space), and a pick list will appear under it. You can then select them from the list and that will link to their profile and create an alert for them that they have been mentioned.

Shops, even cafes and restaurants, tend to close here on Good Friday and Easter Day. Supermarkets are closed. Petrol stations and the convenience stores they have tend to be open. I wouldn't tip extra on those days, the staff are as likely as not to be atheist, Hindu, Muslim or someone else who doesn't care. Or even Orthodox, for whom Easter is next weekend. If I were inclined to tip for the occasion it would be for people who manifest their faith. Another point here is that the two days (and Easter Monday) are public holidays so staff working those days typically are paid double their normal rate. I realise that doesn't apply in the US.

My reading of this is that it's a chemical in coffee, and not related to caffeine so tea, cola and cacao are not affected. This is another one of those ridiculous cases where people confuse 'known carcinogen' that would require an almost infinite dose, with 'suspected carcinogen' for which even a small dose would be dangerous if the link were confirmed.

Basically, whatever it says on the package they aren't flushable. They were implicated in the London fat berg and our local sewage authority has warned against flushing them.

I think @westernsyd is talking in AUD, but to me $AU35 sounds a bit high. I typically have Maccas when I'm driving places and I would usually pay about $12 for a burger/wrap, chips and a large flat white [coffee] (which costs a bit more than having a coke). I haven't been to McDonalds in the US for a while, so I don't know how much their offerings have changed, but here they have gone a bit fancy (they still have the standard menu of course). Lately, I've been to several that have table service (after you order at the counter). Minimum wage is about $AU17 with loadings for holidays and late hours, and unlike some franchise operations here there has been no hint of owners cheating staff.
