    UK quarantine

    in The Beer Bar

    Posted

    Trouble with the UK is the government keeps changing its policies (mind).  Speculation in the UK press this morning is that a 2nd national lockdown is inevitable.  Mayor of London thinks London is two weeks away from a lockdown.  

    Questions, Queries and Birthdays

    Switching back to the original post peculating on a "why" about the birthday celebration - I agree with hank75 and with spoon's further insight.  I celebrated one regular's birthday and it was important to  his sense of face that I came to the bar for him and celebrated him with his friends also participating!

    My insight (not related to this question) is validate the birthdate...I remember one off who seemed to have more than one birthday a year as shown on his Facebook page.

    I believe that Nakarat Massage occupied the third floor of the building where Tapas was located (corner of Soi 4 and Silom).

    Did you notice if Nakarat was still in business?

    As for GC's relocation to Nature Boy, hope they move the sofa to the new venue. Wouldn't quite have the same vibe without it.

     

    Nakarat was (is?) on the 3rd floor of the building across from the Tapas restaurant/

    San Francisco airport is slowly re-opening its international departure area.  It has also begun rapid testing for air crews and airport staff.  A harbinger?

    Alas, it's a USA airport and a California one...few international destinations to get to that wont quarantine Californians...

     

    A Walk Around Gay Bangkok - August 15, 2020

    Wondering if the Moonlighters are "guesting" at Hot Male as its more economical of a place to operate and the crowds haven't yet bounced back...given that I'm in California and travel is impossible wondering and speculating is then ighlight of my days.

    Haven't noticed anyone mentioning that former Moonlight personality Babe is on Instagram, Twitter, and Tik Tok.  He also has a separate Instagram fashion page (b.babe) where he models apparel.  Apparently from one of his Instagram videos he is willing to dance for groups (in this case women).  

    Back to wondering and speculating...

    I recently had a look at the new Hot Male FB page. Seems like the owner is trying to replicate the formula of Moonlight, hunk types, slickly taken social media photographs, and highlighting a few as the “stars”. I hope they don’t go too far though as it would be dull to have two almost identical bars. Does the actual line up now skew towards hunks or are there some twinks? Were there customers? 

     

    Hot Male and Moonlight have an "identical" owner.  Or as the boys say "same-same".

    How can I enter Thailand?

    Ten different international carriers are accepting bookings from NYC to BKK on Oct. 2. (lowest price $452 RT)

    Is it possible that they know something we don't?

    I doubt they know anything we don't.  I had a $450 ticket from the west coast for this month, it's now been refunded.  

    I do think the airlines are, like me, optimistic.  At some point the fares might even go up...

    I don't disagree with any of the above as the markets are ready targets for interpretation.

    My take is that many of the folks who were addicted to on-line gaming shifted over to the markets via things like robinhood.  For them it's all short term - as opposed to Michael who is taking a long term view.  I'm a Michael marketeer...except at the end of February I sold everything and moved them to bonds...so my "portfolio has grown about 2% in the past quarter.  US companies that haven't filed for bankruptcy will soon be issuing quarterly reports.  If they are bleak, then I might begin to move my funds back into the market.

    Maybe...

    Proposes 3 phase “travel bubble” strategy

    Wait and See..I wait every day to see how badly the USA response to Covid-19 will be, only to see that it's getting worse. 

    I fortunately live in the bubble part of California where the new case rate is low.  My doctor advised me this week to not plan any travel within the US until late July as they (the HMO where she works) are anticipating a large spike two weeks after this coming holiday weekend.  

    I'd be wiling to quarantine in Pattaya for two weeks, but the USA doesn't meet the criteria for the tourist trail.
