  1. Another vote for 'Welcome to the Forum'. Most members here appreciate openness and honesty from escorts who come here, and it can so easily be a corrective to negativity and speculation. It's all the better when that negativity is countered by the sort of calm rebuttal that you offered, rather than anger. Best of luck as you reembark on this journey.
  2. There's a thread from a couple of years ago on this provider, but it contains no useful information about them.
  3. Well, I generally watch the public broadcaster, and they can tend away from some of the more click-bait style stories that other channels show., and that now social media scream. Not that this isn't something of a 'look at this' story. From my times living in and visiting the US, the tone and feel of what piques broadcasters' and also the public's interest differs between the two counties.
  4. It started just over two years ago with a story of four people who had become ill in mysterious circumstances. Over the next days it emerged that they were all suffering from poisoning, soon identified as being from poisonous mushrooms. Suspicions grew as it emerged they had shared a lunch of beef Wellington, perhaps a tragic accident, the use of foraged mushrooms, 'death caps' that are similar to edible field mushrooms. Three of the four victims died over the following days, one despite a liver transplant as their own had failed from the toxins. The fourth went through a slow recovery in hospital in Melbourne. The cook and host of the lunch, Erin Patterson, maintained that she had used mushrooms from a supermarket and dried mushrooms from an Asian grocery store. That story gradually crumbled. Accidental contamination of commercially sold mushrooms seemed implausible. It emerged that Ms Patterson had been less than forthcoming in her discussions with investigators. She denied having foraged, or of drying those mushrooms. She was photographed taking a dehydrator to a waste management centre. It was recovered by police and residues of death caps detected. That, of course didn't demonstrate that she had done anything deliberate. She could have simply been lying about foraging, and mistaken the poisonous mushrooms for edible ones. It was not to be. Police detected evidence in her search history of searches for toxic mushrooms, and phone records showed she had travelled to places where foragers had reported death caps (as warnings not as suggestions). The supreme court trial began a few months ago at a court in a regional city near the area where she and her victims, her parents-in-law and her mother-in-law's sister and her husband, had lived. The trial lasted 10 weeks and ended in her conviction on three counts of murder and one of attempted murder. Today, the final act in this drama. Erin Patterson was sentenced to 25 years for attempted murder, and three life sentences for murder, to be served concurrently. Parole was set at 33 years. She had never shown remorse and had lied and obfuscated to investigators throughout the process. All this may have flashed across your screens, or passed you by. It did make international news, even the Economist reported on it. Most likely only because it was an almost fantastical story. Bizarre stories of things that kill you seem almost to be a staple for reporting about Australia. But it has been a constant presence here, to a greater or lesser extent, the first item on the evening news on many days. Erin Patterson: Mushroom murderer sentenced to life over toxic family lunch WWW.BBC.COM She will serve a non-parole period of 33 years for killing three relatives and trying to kill another.
  5. Fortuitously for a forum like this, that's what is known as a hard conversion from metric to imperial. A hard conversion is when you take the measurement in one system (often not a precise measure, say 'he's 6' tall') and convert it to the precise one of two decimal places. A soft conversion is when you round the converted number to something that wouldn't sound weird in conversation. No one (or not most people) would describe someone's dick any more accurately than the nearest inch or half inch, no one who normally speaks metric would go closer than the nearest centimetre. RM, it seems, uses a hard conversion from metric to imperial, although I never see dick sizes listed other than whole centimetres, no decimal points.
  6. Couldn't arrange a time with DznNYC when I was in New York. Next time perhaps!

  8. What's the old chestnut? Two countries divided by a common language?
  9. Well, I'm sure PK is not the only one to remember you from, was it 2023?
  10. Not sure whether to post a sad face, or to laugh with you over the near inevitability of not remembering how one eventually solves a problem!
  11. What is this 'partying' of which you speak?
  12. There is a closed thread about this escort that offers some earlier perspectives on him.
  13. There are flights that go both ways across the Atlantic, and if someone is cool with his rate, that shouldn't be an issue.
  14. I didn't see anything in @Boink's comment where he said that his requests were automated button clicks that were sent without any sort of text to explain why he had asked. Perhaps that's what he does, and if so your point would be fair, but I wouldn't have assumed that. Maybe I misread or misunderstood his post here.
  15. Perhaps not, or perhaps it can. Chicken Stroganoff WWW.RECIPETINEATS.COM Chicken Stroganoff is everything you know and love about Beef Stroganoff, made with chicken! Seared golden chicken...
  16. @Daniel narssi, I'm so sorry that the only times you seem to come here is to clear up misconceptions about you and this aspect of your life. I'm sure it must be wearing. Thank you for your calm and measured explanation, it will clarify things for most people here, but sadly not for all. I wish you well, mate.
  17. Damian has the 'unnecessary' U in his name, Damian Quantas.
  18. Yes, I had resisted the temptation to comment on that. In the grocery store, it's normal for larger packs of a product to cost less per 100g than smaller ones, and noone calls that a discount. Not all professional services work that way, but some, say tradesmen, have a call-out fee or charge for at least one hour even for a quick repair (or whatever it is).
  19. I was writing something challenging the prevailing narrative about the causes and effects of single parenting (my parents divorced when I was eight) but as I did so, I remembered that this thread is about Snoop Dog's remarks and related issues about how to portray gender roles in age-appropriate ways, not on parenting in general or other specific parenting issues. I don't want to start such a conversation, although other may wish to do so elsewhere.
  20. This wins a Darwin award.
  21. It means that he has temporarily deactivated his ad:
  22. This sounds a bit like a case of AI not being capable of factoring in the significance of one word in the question that it was asked. I'm not saying the advice is wrong but would note that an earlier poster said that an ammonia-like smell is a characteristic of dried shrimps. Generative AI seems to be a bit like the internet as a whole. 'I found it on the internet' gives you a start in searching for the answer, but you often need the filter of separate experiences, of caution in general, before taking it as the whole answer.
