  1. Am I missing some irony or ‘fake news’ here @JKane ?

    Whether you like or dislike him, there’s no doubt he’s a significant thinker on international affairs. He wrote a forthright opinion piece last month in the WSJ on how failure to address the adverse impacts of the pandemic would be disastrous. 

  2. I hope that Aussies returning from India are a lot more responsible than some British-Indians/-Pakistanis who have been found to ignore the UK quarantine regulations on re-entering the country.
     

    In the UK, there have been a couple of clusters of infection directly attributed to those recently returned visitors. Luckily so far the infections haven’t spread out.

    they all said they were absolute 100% tops, and even though I am a top some were so hot I couldn't resist I would still agree to take them to the cabin, I would say at least half would bottom for me.

    Is that because you happened to ask them in front of their friends what they would do?
     

    I’ve had a similar experience in other countries with a ‘masculine’ culture (such as Argentina) where guys profess to be tops…but in private they’ll happily bottom for me and/or suck cock to completion and swallow my load

  4. I guess the answer will depend on Brazilian laws. But these may be overridden by whatever regulations govern the particular building and which the owner has signed up to observe. These regulations can be very restrictive. (For example, I live in a building that prohibits any letting unless it is for at least 12 months and where the renters have to be interviewed and approved in advance.)

    I feel the caution by @Riobard is timely. I can’t imagine any ‘renter’ arriving from overseas is going to want to find themselves unwelcome and likely to be thrown out on the street suddenly.

  5. No misunderstanding on my part. I read what you wrote, but it’s simply not practicable to manufacture “millions of doses” in advance of the regulatory approval. 
     

    The necessary ingredients are in short supply nowadays. What you may think of as possibly the simplest thing - the vial for the vaccine - is now in short supply worldwide. The shortages are such that more conventional but needed products (eg insulin) are having their supply restricted.

    I am quite disappointed in the way they have dealt with this recently and especially with the way the roll out of vaccines is taking place.

    If you can access Al Jazeera TV @TotallyOz I recommend their excellent news service. They have corespondents based in Bangkok and this Sunday morning there was an lengthy report on the situation in Thailand.
     

    There was film of people testing positive and even if asymptomatic, being quarantined in isolation facilities for 14 days. No at-home quarantine is allowed. If symptoms develop, they are transferred to a hospital. Against the rapid rise in cases, it was mentioned that less than 1% of people have been vaccinated.

    I'm fairly pleased with the way the UK government has dealt with the vaccine roll out. 

    Unfortunately they did not pre-manufacture large quantities of vaccine as I would have expected, considering the low cost, but they are way ahead of the EU Commission in vaccine procurement performance. 

    A profound misunderstanding @z909. The UK Government took a “venture capital” approach to vaccines, ordering large amounts and prepaying before any of the vaccines had been developed. It also intervened to prevent Oxford University working with Merck in the US to develop a vaccine  to be produced in the US because it feared that the US Government would use its existing powers to prevent the export of any vaccine that proved successful. Also, Merck only offered “reasonable best efforts” to supply the vaccine to the UK. (This is the same clause that the EU Commission has in its contracts).

    The UK Govt persuaded AstraZeneca (a company with no prior experience in vaccines) to work with Oxford by offering to pay all the development costs. In return for assuming all financial risk, the UK Govt insisted on an absolute guarantee of supply and that the Oxford-AZ vaccine be provided at a very low cost, not only to the UK but also to low-income countries around the world during the pandemic.

    The EU wasted some months arguing with Oxford-AZ trying to get them to supply their vaccine at a lower cost than the UK had paid. Having failed to lower what is essentially the cost-price, the EU signed a contract with only a “reasonable best efforts” clause (see above).

    Of course, vaccine manufacture is a complex process. It involves various facilities, mainly in the UK and Belgium. Recently the Belgians acknowledged the significant financial injection by the UK and its lending a team of technical experts to improve the production process at the main plant there. 

    IMO the UK Govt has done an excellent job. The EU seems to be good at the ‘blame game’ but has been shown to be bureaucratic and incompetent.

    How do you sponsor a young handsome Cuban to leave Cuba?

    Then (several years ago now) it was relatively easy if you were based in Spain or Italy and willing to finance the whole process. It was mainly a cumbersome administrative process with fees and documentation. It was quite a well-used exit route for young Cubans.
     

    I know of 2 young Cubans who left their sponsor…shortly after 3 years which was (then) what it took to establish their own residency rights and legal status in Spain. I guess each of the men got what they wanted from the arrangement.

    Many have downgrading Cuba.  I don't know why?

    I discussed a vacation in Cuba about 3 years ago with 3 different, experienced travellers to Cuba. 2 of them were European and 1 was Cuban working as a model in Spain. 
     

    All said Cuba was now not what it was (with the economic difficulties etc) and all the young handsome gay guys had managed to get sponsorship to leave.

    What was life like in the 70's?

    Hedonistic @AlexThompson I lived in central Amsterdam and central London in that decade. There were some gay bars and very few gay clubs (and they were small). But it’s also the decade when large gay dance clubs opened. There was street cruising, openly in certain locations.
     

    The downside was that very few gay men were open at work or socially. Most men were discreet and didn’t talk about their romantic lives.

    Pity he can't have the full state funeral he deserves. 

    He stated several times that he didn’t want that, and preferred a minimum of fuss. Details of the funeral arrangements have yet to be announced but I hope his wishes are observed. 

  11. Thanks for sharing @traveller312 

    Do you think it’s something cultural in how locals react? I can appreciate that local young men are sex-starved in such a restrictive society. So it may be that getting sucked off by you does not mean they’re gay; it’s just that they’re horny and have no heterosexual outlet.

    I’m a top only and I really enjoy getting sucked off to completion. Would I be left frustrated by visiting Egypt? Or do you think I would encounter ready cocksuckers in North African countries if I were generous?

    I read that the one-time porn star Tag Eriksson is a real estate broker in Scandinavia pulling in 7 figures. Imagine the lucky guy bagging that.

    Forgive me @davet but I’m keen on facts and observations here being accurate.
     

    Fredrik Eklund is the broker and he doesn’t hide his past. He’s married to an Australian husband, and they both featured in a reality TV show Million Dollar Listing when they were based in NYC. They recently moved to LA where Fredrik continues to sell real estate.

    As time passes, and you get reminded about a past relationship, at some point, you only remember the good parts. You somehow forget why you broke up in the first place. And then you try to rekindle the romance, expecting only the good parts reemerge, but if neither of you have changed, and all the niggling details that led to the downfall of your relationship slowly creep back up to the surface, the outcome will be the same.

    Beautifully written @numazu. Over the years, I bet most of us have been tempted to restart with an ex, and it never works. It’s great that you could enjoy friendship with Diego.

  14. Yes but it was a few years ago when I was single.
     

    He was a gogo in Brazil who became a successful fitness model in Europe (on the covers of several magazines). He had a handsome face and a stunning physique. His income was erratic and he was saving to study for an advanced degree. So he chose occasional sex-work to supplement his income.

    We had a torrid affair for a while. But it was all about his looks, as he wasn’t that passionate in bed. He needed to drink quite a bit of alcohol to relax and get wild in bed. Only then would he bottom (with condom) for me or let me face-fuck him and unload in his mouth. He was great arm-candy socially. He did suggest he become my boyfriend and look after my apartment for me…but after I’d played with him several times, I lost interest.
     

    Anyone else who hired him for sex would remember him. Not just for his physical beauty but also for his decent-sized cock, which had a pronounced hook shape at the head. Last I heard, he earned his MBA and was working for a bank in Brazil.
