If I recall correctly, Leo was at the pool party at a previous gathering, 2023 I think. Easy on the eye, if that's who I remember.

Good evening, market reading genius here. I went in to San Francisco this morning to revive memories of previous visits, and the sights and sounds of Gold Mountain (gold rush era Chinese name for the city, Melbourne was New Gold Mountain two years later, but I digress). Walking past an ATM decided that as I needed to convert money for ... Let's just say I wanted to buy some USD cash. The bank rate was worse than the always lousy rate that my QF travel card offers (but that becomes competitive when the points on offer during bonus sales are considered). Due to my impecable timing, one AUD bought 2 US cents more one hour later. In other words I spent 5.5 AU cents more for each US dollar than I would have if I'd waited that hour. The Australian stock market went up about 5% on opening Thursday (the announcement came over night in Australia), so both our market and our dollar have appreciated in the last few hours. Nobody can say that the current times are not interesting, whether that's a good or a bad thing is a matter of opinion.

Remember, to the extent that the unemployment rate affects the markets, and could influence whether or not it's a bear market or a recession has begun, unemployment is a measure of the number of people who are looking for work but who can't find it. If one person retires that reduces the number of people in the 'employed' category but not the 'unemployed' category until someone is hired to replace them. (The rate of participation in the employment market, is a separate consideration, although less significant than unemployment.)

Just boarded my AA flight in Sydney. Counting down.

ASX futures were up 0.7% at 6am AEST Tuesday (just over 1.5 hours ago). That's still down, to use a technical term, a shit tonne since last Thursday. That may in part be due to things apparently stabilising wrt China, our biggest trading partner and therefore a big influence on our economy and markets, so not necessarily indicative of Tuesday on Wall Street.

I think there are two things constraining demand at the moment, in the whole economy in the US and elsewhere not just in this specialised business. One is the sudden loss of wealth, which will last until there are signs of recovery. The other is the uncertainty effect that is more transitory, people don't want to do anything when they have no idea what's going on. That should ease when things settle down, for better or worse.

I had an escort block me a month or so back, and when I clicked on his profile it showed this:

As a possibly relevant data point, the Australian market was down over 6% on opening this morning, but has reversed some of the losses and is down 5.3% now at 1130AEST. Our trade on Friday wasn't down as much as the later US trading day was, so some of today's drop is catching up with earlier US losses rather than foretelling further losses there.

Oh, a cold snap on Sunday for the pool party! As an aside, Canberra had it's first subzero (C) overnight temp on Sunday, the earliest for 30 years.

I think the issue, if there is one, is not that the current state of markets and the economy are on their minds, but rather that they may have noticed clients might be hiring less.

Our market has had similar palpitations, and the opening bell on Monday (8pm Sunday USEDT) will be interesting given Friday's US market results. We're not in correction territory yet but will likely be on Monday. I'm heavy on income earning shares that have been resilient so far, and I'm riding this out (perhaps to my detriment).

It's nice to see his profile up and active again. He was at the Palm Springs weekend a few years back and is a lovely guy.

God forbid he is martyred for saying so.

Gentlemen, a reminder not to post personal information about escorts we're discussing, including things about other careers they may be pursuing.

Wanting to buy Swarowski or wanting to see before buying?

Same, in 1976 and 1981. I haven't been to Chek Lap Kok yet, although I was on the point of booking Cathay for my trip next week (I'm flying American, maybe to my regret, I'll report on Tuesday!).

Aviation is not just about the present, but also its storied past. One iconic piece of that history has just marked its centenary, the opening of Hong Kong's legendary Kai Tak airport, with that memorable sharply banking turn on approach. To mark the anniversary Cathay Pacific did a low level flypast of the old airport site, broadcast on big screens at Kai Tak stadium. 41K views · 594 reactions | Cathay Pacific’s A350 flyby of Hong...

I haven't tried to make this ... yet. I have a tub of banana pulp in my freezer that is slowly expanding as bananas in my fruit bowl pass their use-by date. I usually only buy two or three at a time, so it's not expanding too quickly. This has given me an incentive to let a few more age out, and use them to make this.

Welcome to the forum, @IrishStudXL. As you have seen you can get a lot of love here, even when people don't know that you'll read it. Unfortunately, not everyone will comment positively. Friendly engagement with the forum, while gently pushing back on anything you think is incorrect or unfair will win over neutral observers. I hope you drop by again and contribute to our discussions.

Sorry, I know what we're all here for, but I was replying to the post above it, not the thread in general.

There are 99 reviews on this ad, and they go back to 2015, not sure how much more you need. Several of them refer to him as 'Dario' so that may have been a previous RM handle he used.

I hadn't noticed what he was wearing.
