  1. 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!
  2. What is this 'partying' of which you speak?
  3. There is a closed thread about this escort that offers some earlier perspectives on him.
  4. There are flights that go both ways across the Atlantic, and if someone is cool with his rate, that shouldn't be an issue.
  5. 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.
  6. 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...
  7. @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.
  8. Damian has the 'unnecessary' U in his name, Damian Quantas.
  9. 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).
  10. 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.
  11. This wins a Darwin award.
  12. It means that he has temporarily deactivated his ad:
  13. 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.
  14. The ABC's usual financial market guy had this to say on Sunday night's news bulletin. It's about the Australian market, but it provides some interesting potted analysis.
  15. No shit. (No, I'm not saying that is the difference!)
  16. It wasn't just one new user, there was a succession of them, and we had an interesting time dealing with them. You can interpret 'interesting' in any way you like. Thanks for the vote of appreciation, we all appreciate that. With a little bit of luck, the new measure will reduce the chance Season 2 (actually more like Season 5 but I haven't been counting).
  17. In this case, 'Aussies do Sport Differently' is a mark of being behind the curve, of something happening in one sport that had already happened in many others. We've had Ian Roberts in the 1990s, a bruising rugby league player who looked more like a bouncer even than many of his on-field contemporaries, recently Josh Cavallo who's been mentioned here. But for top level AFL, the national level league, not the sport as a whole, there had never been a gay or bi [male] player, not even one in retirement. Prompted by yet another player being suspended for making homophobic comments on field, the sixth in two years, a retired player finally has announced that he is bi. Mitch Brown coming out is an opportunity for AFL to ‘shift culture’ on homophobia, Darcy Moore says | AFL | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Players’ Association president and Collingwood captain applauds Brown as ‘tremendously courageous’ In other threads we've lamented (or in some cases questioned) the need or purpose of people making public announcements about themselves. What the president of the AFLPA says, not as one of 'us', whatever 'us' means, makes the case that there is still not just value but also the need for people to say who they are. It's said you can't be what you can't see, and that's only partly true, but if you can see someone 'like you' doing something you want to do for yourself, it can be the difference between believing that you can as well, and not.
  18. I was exaggerating for effect!
  19. I live 12,000km away and I know that you can walk from Edmonton to Calgary in less time than it takes to fly from either to Ottawa.
  20. As you know, @FrankR, feedback here is what makes the site what it is. Calm and considered works every time. Reasonable people respect each others' opinions and we all learn, Not every lid fits every pot. Vive la différence!
  21. Hey it's worth a try, and so far it's working. Yes, it may die, but not because it sucks, but because people always move on. We've had 'Random' threads in the past, they've worked until they didn't.
  22. I suspect many characteristics that providers describe or list in their ads are not relevant to their ability to massage or suck dicks.
  23. Fried rice / paella fusion! I recall havig fried rice in Hawai'i that had Portuguese sausage and some sort of chilli in it, and that was a reflection of the melting pot that that Pacific nation state is.
  24. At least it wasn't a Trabant.
