  1. I want to play with them in the store first. My last 2 phones have been iPhones, but Sony has been wooing me back lately.
  2. Considering that The Telegraph is a British newspaper, I think it's reasonable to assume that the figures quoted are in British pounds. 2.4 billion British pounds = 3.9 billion US $.
  3. I quit coffee when I quit smoking: the 2 were too closely associated in my mind. Now I drink tea... which I rarely did when I lived in the UK lol. Anyone who actually asks if I want change for anything gets a long meaningful yeeeees.
  4. I usually wear cotton boxers. I find my equipment prone to getting tangled up otherwise..
  5. I'm not watching Big Brother this year, but I have no doubt that Big Brother is watching me..
  6. I can't see what is belittling about correcting someone on a factual error of 100 fold. 2,230 grams would be nearly 5 pounds!
  7. Most television is available for free to stream online within hours of its initial broadcast. I would have thought that would be a good incentive for PBS. I link to binge view entire series over a few days. It does take a bit of patience, clicking through to the right links and sometimes you have to let it load. This is one of my favourite portals: www.watchseries-online.eu
  8. Escort reviews are predominantly a North American phenomenon. European escorts mostly only get the occasional review from visiting Americans. I worked full-time for years in London, before I even became aware of them.
  9. I watched this online months ago. I wonder why North America gets it a year later? Apparently, it's PBS' top-rated show.
  10. I tried to watch this show once, but it felt like my brains were starting to dribble out of my ears..
  11. Kathleen Wynne has become the first out gay Premier in Canada. She won the leadership race for the Ontario Liberal Party, which was elected to a minority government in 2011, after our previous Premier resigned. She also becomes the 6th woman amongst Canada's 13 serving Premiers. http://www.xtra.ca/public/National/UPDATE_Wynne_will_send_a_message_of_equality-13076.aspx
  12. It's him. Here's the full video. http://www.extratv.com/2013/02/05/video-mario-lopez-streaks-in-his-underwear-at-the-grove/
  13. It is just a fashion that has gone mainstream at the moment, likely crossing over from Latino culture. Probably not the best fashion accessory considering its strong associations for many, but it may not have that much religious significance to the wearer. I sometimes wear a gold ankh, but have only an academic interest in the ancient Egyptian gods.
  14. I treat dildos like cocks: they have to rubber up first..
  15. A few years ago, I was driving around the Scottish Highlands with my bf. It was getting late and we were having no luck finding accomodation at the B&Bs we stopped at in various little villages. I was starting to get paranoid and think that it might be because we were 2 men and they suspected we were gay. So, the next B&B we stopped at, I sent my bf in alone. He came back to the car to report that they had told him they had 2 rooms available: 1 with a double bed and one with 2 single beds. I told him to take the 1 with 2 single beds in case management changed their minds when they saw we were 2 men and we ended up having to sleep in the car. So, up we went to push our twin beds together, discreetly pulling them back apart again in the morning. Well, the next morning at breakfast, we were joined by what was clearly another gay male couple. In the course of our conversation, we learned that they had accepted the double bedded room and that the landlady had not batted an eyelid. We shared our story and all had a good laugh!
  16. I have gained an automobile tire...of muscle.
  17. Marriages of convenience, or sometimes of decided inconvenience, are still happening in the West as well, particularly amongst certain ethnic communities. I had a client in London, a young man of Indian descent, 100% gay, who was forced into an arranged marriage with a woman who had been brought over from India for the purpose. Needless to say, the marriage was never consummated, the marriage broke down within weeks, and divorce ensued. He now feels he has a few years respite before he will be pressured to marry again. I have heard of a few others in his situation in the UK South Asian community, but on the other hand you can go to Birmingham Pride and see hundreds of out gay South Asians.
  18. Brilliant, I hear she's an amazing performer and I look forward to experiencing this.
  19. In Canada, the government grows it for us: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/marihuana/supply-approvis/index-eng.php
  20. An old joke: Q: What's the difference between a sex worker and a lawyer? A: A lawyer will keep screwing you when you're dead.
  21. Well, as it turned out, the first legal male prostitute to be hired by a Nevada brothel was an extremely homely straight man, so George Flint needn't stick his hypocritical, sanctimonious, self-serving pecker into the matter just yet.
  22. Why do so many people seem to think they have to shout to be heard on a cell phone? And share all the details of their private lives? Escorts know the value of speaking quietly and discreetly. My friends are used to me walking away from them to take a call from a client.
  23. Personal experience has left me with very little sympathy for the struggles of the gay press. Over the years, I put thousands into their coffers, but found that they screwed up my ads in every way imaginable and treated their escort advertisers with contempt. As the market has shifted towards the internet and escort specific sites, it has given me some satisfaction no longer having to help support magazines that offer such poor customer service.
  24. I'm with the Belgians: I think the that cell service provider's should be banned from subsidizing handsets. Then the prices of handsets could find their own natural level on the open market without being tied to long-term service contracts.
