I missed the opportunity (which I'll take now) to comment that this was an instance of a gay man being unfamiliar with a Broadway/West End musical.

You drew an inference from your interpretation of my motives. I was not implying anything of the sort.

Oh dear, further proof that I am old (or maybe that I live in an Anglophone Commonwealth country). [The George Bernard Shaw play] Pygmalion was one of my high school English texts and I'd seen the film of the musical My Fair Lady when it came out (when I wasn't old).

I think there are two separate issues here, did he commit sexual assault and was he a sleaze bag. There is a law against the first, and the jury has decided that he did not. That's the end of it unless there was a procedural error that invalidates the trial, which is theoretically possible but unlikely. There is no law against the second, but was there a pattern of inappropriate behaviour, and does it 'deserve' the level of opprobrium he faced? Or should his alleged behaviour be none of our business unless it passes the threshold of criminality.

Delicate? Oh, yes, delicate, that's it!

Disparaging a woman because of her appearance. Classy!

His efforts to make it an X social media platform are proceeding apace!

Like other users who have posted here, I too was faced with the new rates (c$20/mo although that's in AUD) when I had been paying the discounted $AU49.95 for six months. Rather than pay the new monthly rate I chose to pay $AU159.95 for a full year, still more than I had been paying but considerably less than the monthly rate would have been.

'Think of the starving people in Africa.' Telling them to send what you didn't eat to them is apparently not the correct answer.

As Ambassador Rudd noted, although the ship bears the name of Australia's national capital, she is named for HMAS Canberra, and is the second ship to bear the name. She is the only ship in the US Navy that carries the name of a foreign capital. Today the ship's company exercised their right to enter the city of Canberra with drums beating, colours flying, and bayonets fixed to exercise the freedom of the city.

Judaism is inherited matrilineally, so it must have been something else that prompted that change! 😁

You gave them a photo to put in your passport, that's all they needed to enable them to use those biometrics for you to re-enter the country. As a foreigner I have to give them my finger prints to enter the US. You are at least spared that!

Hmmm, and only an 8.5 hour flight from Sydney ...

It's only in the Questions About Hiring forum, not others, and only the person who opens the thread has the option. It's not about any one person who offers their outlook being able to decide that what they said is the solution, it's about the OP (the one who wanted an answer) saying, 'Thank you, that answers my question'. Importantly, the OP doing that doesn't shut down the conversation and anyone is free to disagree and continue a debate. Others may have wondered about the question but not asked, and they may not be satisfied by the answer. If they wish, they can say why. But the OP was, and that is what the 'Solution' label is saying.

There has been an active discussion of CBP's apparent use of facial recognition technology to target escorts (and potentially clients) at the US border, and their possible harvesting of facial images from sites like Rent Men to do so. This conversation has been taking place in a thread about the extent to which posting images of his face in his ad on RM will affect the number of clients he attracts. The CBP discussion is detracting from the intended subject of the thread, and what CBP might do is not a topic relevant to hiring but belongs here in the Lounge.

Is a hot duck similar to your goose being cooked?

I don't know, people trying to make another thread X rated!

'At the third stroke it will be 12.26 and 30 seconds.'

Even if the wine is Yellowtail! (Shameless plug, there is undrinkable cheap Australian plonk, it is not among them.)

'Underground mutton' is what it's called in the bush here. Fed many a family in the Depression, but also before and since. The South Sydney team in the national rugby league is nicknamed the Rabbitohs, for the itinerant rabbit sellers in that then working class area.

Moderator's Note: Gentlemen, this is an interesting thread that has generated useful content, so please keep to the topic of how best to take advantage of CC rewards. Agree or not with what others post, but do not criticise them for what they say. A reminder, the premise of the thread is that CCs are a thing and people use them, so questioning their existence is outside the scope of the thread.

And he went into the stands to greet the actual King. Carlos Alcaraz is the new champion of the All England Tournament. I only caught the last set (watching the Australia - England Ashes game) but he was a clear winner in that last part of the match. Is it a case of, 'Le roi est mort, vive le roi'? [The king is dead, long live the king.]

I think that depends on how formal the party is. A party with staff circulating offering drinks, you take what is offered, and if you ask, accept no for an answer. For an informal function like a pool party, I think requests are fine, but no still means no.

9 oz is a serve of beer, for wine it's drinking for effect! But yes, in a restaurant they go that way for wine by the glass. And I'm guilty of ordering the 'large' glass of wine rather than ask for a second smaller one. But back to whether to ask for wine at a party where it wasn't offered!
