I have never been on a gay cruise and would not now wish to go on one - too old! But I know they are popular and you can even get them here in Asia. Last week the 2,000 passenger Virgin Voyages ship Scarlet Lady on a 10-day chartered gay cruise around the Mediterranean from Athens to Venice was denied docking at the ports of Istanbul and Alexandria in Egypt. Alexandria had been added at the last minute after Turkey denied access when authorities published a statement online saying the cruise was chartered โby groups known for behaviours that do not align with the structure of our society and our moral valuesโ. The ship then turned around and docked in Crete. The Bro…

As part of our group travel for our culture-experiencing group, we attended a purification ceremony and aura reading by a Brahmin Hindu priest here in Bali. He walked around and pondered my husband, pronouncing that he was a "charmer of the ladies" ๐, then walked around me (who was wearing, in addition to my sarong, some Amazon Basics shorts and an unbranded plain green T-shirt) that I was a "successful businessman." It took quite an effort on my part to keep a straight face, instead of rolling on the floor laughing. He said my aura was "orange," implying a creative personality. In reality, I'm an entirely left-brained person, who's very good at analysis and problem solvi…

Last night I had a bit of political discussion on Line with friend, not a member here. Subject - Iran's nuclear ambitions and US attempts to prevent them possessing it. Short , civilized and uncontroversial although we did not agree on everything. At one point I voiced an opinion that possession of any type of arms doesn't meant that in the conflict they will be used, citing example of poison gasses used in WW I trenches but not used in battlefields of WW II . I had another two short message exchanges, with member about virtues of Jey Spa personnel and joys of returning to the hotel we both like, nothing drastic at all and another with boy in Phnom Penh asking …

A slightly bizarre situation whereby smugglers of cannabis, legal in Thailand, will only be fined if caught before departure from Thailand but will be imprisoned if caught on arrival in the destination country. The amount of smuggling to the UK perhaps partly explains why my Thai husband is regularly stopped for his bags to be searched at Heathrow. If we travel and walk together he tends not to be stopped. I am never stopped by Customs but am regularly summoned to have a conversation with an immigration official! I blame faulty chips in the new UK Passports. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx235xy2ky4o

These days, it seems that TV shows are saving themselves a few thousand dollars by playing AI songs instead of real hits. Maybe it would be smarter to let artists let their music be heard on the TV shows, for the free exposure, probably leading to more people downloading their songs on Spotify and so on. The lyrics always seem to be pretty dumb. I heard one on the Netflix series Elite, and the lyrics went "Don't wake the birds and the bees before you shake the trees" ๐. Of course, AI thinks it's only a matter of time before AI is able to write good songs, because when I asked it, I got this response: "While AI music has conquered digital sales, a song written solely by AI…

First let me say that this post is prompted by my Trump fatigue and disgust with the media, who doesnt allow me to escape Trump for a second unless I turn off my TV. I WILL do that, but in conjuction with finding something else to occupy my time, and have a little fun.... At 75 its kinda difficult to run around like a "youngin", so I put my 2 faves together, sex and staying home, and came up with SEX TOYS... which has been discussed here many times. More specifically, has anyone EVER purchased one of those semi realistic silicon MALE torso's. The kind that comes with bulging pecs and pointed nips, sculpted abs, Big movable penis, plump low balls, and a bubbl…

Doing the rounds on social media is a few posts about how Gay couples๐ณ๏ธโ๐ shouldn't be allowed to adopt children. I have no idea what went on but it appears in the UK a "gay couple" killed or tortured a baby they adopted. This is not the first time this happened but these people are not gay ... They are pedophiles ๐ก๐คฎ These people sick individuals should not be mixed up as part of the gay community They are sick people and these people on social media shouldn't be saying they are part of the gay community I remember a case years ago in Australia of a gay couples in Queensland who adopted a young boy and rented him to pedophiles They were ac…

Another day. Another list. This time it is CNN reporting on Time Out's list of the world's best cities for food in 2026. A number of major changes from 2025. New Orleans was top last year and is now nowhere to be seen. Thailand remains in second place. Medellin has dropped from #3 to #20. Paris, Madrid, Montreal, Shanghai, Lagos, Porto, Jakarta, Marrakech, Cairo, Riyadh, Mumbai, Abu Dhabi, Naples and San Jose have all dropped off the list since last year. That to me seems a great many in just one year. So how is the list drawn up? Time Out claims - โThe cities on this list are known for their ingredients, iconic cuisines and deep-rooted food histories that have …

If this the level recorded in Europe I wonder what the level is in Thailand....... Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including gonorrhoea and syphilis have hit record levels in Europe, according to new data. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said both diseases had reached their highest levels in over 10 years in 2024. Gonorrhoea hit 106,331 cases - a 303% increase since 2015 - while syphilis more than doubled in the same period to 45,557. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2pj07dr7lo
