Gentlemen, let's table the discussion about how the cartels came to have such sway over events in Mexico, particularly any political discussion about influences from north of the Rio Bravo del Norte. The situation is sad, and the implications for the tourist industry potentially profound, there is ample scope for discussion of that.

The new Minister-president van Nederland (prime minister), Rob Jetten (Rob Arnoldus Adrianus Jetten) born 25 March 1987. [I've removed a link that is no longer valid] He announced his engagement to Argentine hockey player Nicolás Keenan in November 2024, after they had been together since 2022. There is an unusual symmetry that the Queen Consort of the Netherlands is also an Argentine.

His name in 15th-century Genoese was Cristoffa Corombo; in Italian, Cristoforo Colombo; and in Spanish, Cristóbal Colón.

Fake news! He is not six years old, and about to turn seven. He is about to have his seventh birthday. Seventh birthday and seven years old are not the same thing. At least in cases like his. 😀

Oh, you! 😀

In RM I pasted his name after the rent.men/ in the URL bar and came up with this: https://rent.men/JaydenRay

Gentlemen, a reminder not to post links, or the handles people use for their social media profiles, if they have not published them in any of their public-facing professional documentation or advertising.

Yes, it's fine. If you wish, you can include it as your signature, which will appear on all your posts here. To do that, open your profile then select signature from the Settings menu. It will then activate when it's been approved by the moderators. We restrict the length of signature blocks and ask that ads be posted there as links not in an auto-generated display version.

@StarQualityLuke, I think his behaviour is inexcusable. Client or provider, cancelling if you're ill and potentially contagious is the only sensible and professional thing to do. There are always people who will be determined to misunderstand you, but this case goes further than I could imagine possible. I can't fathom someone being so insecure that they project their own self-perception of inadequacy as your reason for cancelling rather than accept what you stated. I think you dodged the proverbial bullet. I can imagine them complaining that every aspect of a meeting that they found any minor fault with as being a deliberate slight against them. That sounds exhausting. As an aside, I think the calm and measured way you described the situation and responded to members' comments and questions will do much to burnish opinions of you in this forum. How you dealt with, and ultimately disengage from, one spiteful and irrational client says volumes about your professional care and responsibility.

I really couldn't resist this. The comments posted in the article are solid gold. https://www.thepoke.com/2026/02/19/this-hilariously-sarcastic-and-well-informed-bedford-council-comeback-is-a-masterclass-in-handling-bigots/?utm_medium pic

More than one level of meaning there!

If he wasn't there, it can't be Budapest then.

Gasp!

Budapest?

Eid Mubarak. By possible cosmic, but more likely lunar coincidence, it's also Ash Wednesday.

Requiescat in pace. Semper fi.

Yes, your post two up (after the 3 months later banner) was the new thread you posted. The moderators moved it into this existing thread about Shane.

It is correct grammar, although the case can be made for both versions. If you think about it, it's saying that it's the day about presidents, not really the day that belongs to presidents. There is no Independence's Day, but with Presidents Day the word ending in 's' makes it appear as if it should be possessive case. For a closer parallel illustration, it's Martin Luther King Day, not 'King's'.

I agree, but if that were the case, they wouldn't be able to offer a 'musky' experience, which is what the OP wanted.

With masseurs (whose pattern of appointments is likely to be different from escorts) you should consider the feasibility or their meeting such a request. They will often see several clients with often relatively short intervals between them. For them to honour your request, they likely need to be deodorant-free for appointments before yours, something they may not be prepared to do. But you could still ask.

His ad also shows him as 'not available'. In the past we've seen escorts who change their location to Nuuk or Nome. I've also seen an escort from Vegas suddenly appearing in Bozeman or Fargo (or somewhere similarly well known as an escort haunt). It's just possible that they might be using some random location to take themselves out of the search results for where they really are. Just a thought.

I won't mention abuse shouted in a fake French accent, in a general direction, from a castle battlement.
