Ah, I thought you wanted me to write a review now. I could, 'Sweet, loves to insert tab A into slot B' and so on, but that would be hypothecical. The sooner I can write a well informed review, the better.

Steady on, I haven't met him yet. And I mean 'yet'.

I know he is, and I have chatted with him. He's a lovely guy. Can't wait!

@Russ is so hot. I need to go to NYC.

I have only one Uber experience, in the Jan 16 snowstorm in DC, where a hotel staffer booked me a Uber to the airport. I remain concerned that she was actually charged more than I paid, given the circumstances. (I didn't have a smart phone.)

Not your typical funny. Lisa Wilkinson, who with some dude presents one of the breakfast TV shows here, was called out by the 'Daily Mail' for wearing the same blouse twice in four months! The response is priceless. http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/morning-shows/lisa-wilkinson-delivers-the-perfect-response-to-fashion-critics-on-live-tv/news-story/fa6757e4d1240cb6f261c43ce7974a32 The 'some dude' actually has a name, he is Karl Stefanovic. He wore the same suit every day for a year — and no one noticed.

I had one of those delightful five second 'Yeah so what' moments before the unintended meaning of 'Drag and drop' hit me. (Now cleaning coffee from keyboard.)

The Economist's take on this: http://www.economist.com/news/business-and-finance/21720580-ugly-incident-provokes-social-media-storm-passenger-dragged-united-airlines?fsrc=scn/tw/te/bl/ed/airrageapassengerisdraggedfromaunitedairlinesplane 'Not long before United released Mr Munoz’s statement about the bloodied passenger on Facebook, it had posted a picture of a company dog nuzzling a young boy, part of a programme to make travel less stressful. Travellers will be telling a story about United for some time. It won’t be the one about the puppies.'

If Twitter this past week were a person, here he is:

Nope, not a dud. In case it wasn't clear from the rest of the thread, Oliver and I were experimenting to see whether the 'Your profile is invisible when visiting other profiles' button on RM worked, and it does.

I think what is displayed in both rentmen.com and rent.men is drawn from the same data set, so it would invariably show up as the same information. Happy to be corrected. One or other may hide some information depending on where you are viewing it from.

Hey @Maschio, welcome—well, welcome back—to the forum. Glad you caught up with the thread even if it is almost a year after it was posted. Hope we see more of you here: it's a pleasant sight!

Or iron pyrites.

Someone gave up proofreading for Lent.

Alec is indeed a wonder.

No Rod, we don't. And I do know the difference between the two words. I was using the wrong one deliberately to pass a comment on someone who might ask the question using that word. (And as for the island comment, I seem to remember that you had said you were from an island and I threw in the names of two random islands.)

@escortrod, I'm surprised no one here has asked you if you have a Scotch accent. (If they were so specific as to ask if you had a Harris or Lewis accent, then I would be impressed.)

I met Tony in DC last year, only socially, nice guy. I'm sure he could be 'not a nice guy' relatively easily!

Is it spring yet? https://twitter.com/i/videos/842430872431271936?embed_source=facebook

My anecdote to add to this. If TB was going to be dismissive of someone it would be me. I'm far away and so far haven't offered any more than 'I'd love to meet if our schedules line up'. We've chatted and exchanged PMs for over 12 months but haven't met or even been in the same city, but he still replies to me and is unfailingly polite and engaging. I don't think I have just been lucky, more it's the measure of the man. *off soapbox* I'm looking forward to Palm Springs next month!

All sorts of guys suddenly find this forum. I salute Kenny for finding us and posting his case. He has spoken to us, unlike others who just dismiss us by ignoring us.
