Keeping things separate can be a good thing.

I've found a mixture in the amount of text in RM reviews. It can be zero, a single or few words or multiple sentences, even paragraphs (spoiler: word count doesn't necessarily mean worth reading). In part, I suspect that short or absent narrative reviews are a result of the reviewer being unaware that some readers can see it while those in the US cannot. But, as others have replied to the OP's question, narrative text cannot be viewed in the US, a frustration to me when I'm travelling there, but can be viewed in the rest of the world.

The maths is indisputable. Some numbers are rational, some are irrational, some imaginary, but no matter what 'some months' means, the numbers never lie.

I, on the other hand, am 21 and some months.

You too?

So you think something doesn't add up?

Or perhaps suggest that he combine sex and travel?

I noticed that, not even yellow. The big cities in tropical Queensland (Cairns, Townsville and Mackay) only rate yellow as well. I guess the real remoteness (huge distances, one road and one rail line, and limited, expensive air connections) trumps the size of the city, which is only 150K anyway. Darwin also has scant international airline service. The 'big' Tasmanian cities of Hobart and Launceston ('metro' populations of 250K and 90K respectively) at least rate green.

I found this graphic that popped up in my Facebook feed interesting (if not in the best focus). It displays the ABS [Australian Bureau of Statistics] characterisations of Australia from metropolitan to regional and remote. The ' very remote' region in red includes the places one would expect, desert, outback, whatever you want to call it, but also several islands in Bass Strait (between the mainland and Tasmania) that are very remote based on their isolation and lack of easy transport to and from them. The 'inner regional' areas in green include the regions close to big cities but also the more closely settled areas further away, including more intensive agricultural areas (intensive irrigation areas in north-east Victoria) and the areas along the main highways and rail lines between Sydney and Melbourne (east to west to the north of the ACT and connecting to NE Victoria).

Welcome to the forum, @Escuela. The perspectives of those who have real skin in the game are valuable, and the genuine clients here value them particularly. Not all the client reviews here are fake, but it would be naive of us not to think that some, or even many are. Some clients here, perhaps more than I dare to imagine, are capable of sorting the wheat from the chaff in the reviews we read both here and on RM.

Not specifically about rates they charge, and yes, I do check different sources before I book. I was looking for hotel rooms in WeHo a week or so back for the last four days. I don't usually look at the usual suspects (booking.com and their ilk) although I knew they provide the search engine for other booking sites (AA I think uses Booking.com). I checked some chain sites for their offerings nearby, and also Qantas and Amex and some individual hotel sites. Amex was cheaper than QF for some of the places I was looking at, and with Australian 'all inclusive' rate rules in advertising, and QF and Amex quoting in AUD it took a bit of work to compare some of the apples and oranges. I ended up booking via Amex, best deal (I think) and I had a travel credit to use. As I was checking out today, the agent commented that I had booked and paid with Expedia, so apparently Amex uses them. I'd still use Amex rather than Expedia direct because I know that they are more likely to respond with any issues I have. I had past experience where a flight was changed and Amex were ready to take the airline on if I wasn't happy with the alternative flight they offered.

Imagine how things would be if there were a Niamh in the class!

Looks like a guy to wish you were in the same city, whoever was doing the travel!

The innuendo is just too much.

Also on 8 December 1941, the Imperial Japanese Army launched invasions of the Philippines and Malaya, the latter ending with the capture of Singapore on 15 February 1942. For those who might not have done the maths, that was actually the same day as the attack on Hawai'i.

Miriam is always a hoot!

'Just hanging out'. I see what you did there.

Welcome to the forum. From the earlier posts here you already have some admirers among us. Being a friendly face here as well as being the man behind an RM ad can only add to them.

I'm seeing the RM ad as corrupted up-thread: HenryHen - Male Escort, Gay massage - Los Angeles | Rent.Men RENT.MEN HenryHen Gay Escort in Los Angeles, California, available for Modeling,Bodywork,Available for videos. | Find all the best...

People outside North America certainly don't, I had to google it.

Bon anniversaire, mon ami!
