which prompts an obvious question...

hanoihouseboys.com ? https://holidayhouseboys.com/hanoi might be better 😉.

In Europe we generally just call that a "job" 😉

I don't think it is. My orgy invitation appeared to be from a name with zero posting history.

Waste of time, surely?

The obvious loopholes are the "who's online" and "last logged in members" sections on the main page, which make it very easy for a spammer to harvest usernames without having to read posts.

6 in a row! Is that a record?

Yes. Strictly it's Phra Ram IV. (Phra is an honorific denoting royalty). But in casual Thai speech, Rs tends to turn into L or N or disappear altogether.

what, lipstick?!

Me too, according to @WiggleWormvl who currently has 0 posts 0 reputation 0 badges

"End of shift" used to be the excuse.

Going to have mine framed. Perhaps we should form a club?

Still does. I think @vinapu has it. The Atlanta was, and still is, notorious for its explicit policies, which go well beyond a mere dress code 😈:

I'm not sure that's stated explicitly. But they do state "These forums are NOT presented for abusive arguing and name calling, score-settling, thread stalking, or general cyberspace blood sport for the chronically bored. "

When philately palls, the next step is notaphily, which ought to be very popular with @vinapu's friends. 5-cycle (60th) birthday: And 5-cycle anniversary of accession:

On the downside, they are surprisingly fragile. I had a small key in my wallet and its serrated edge tore a Malaysian polymer note when I tried to get it out. Several KL convenience stores wouldn't accept it, until I found one that kindly put tape over the tear. Also, you can't easily fold polymer notes so they will go in a money belt or other hiding places.

You've never had the pleasure of handling filthy greasy well-used small-denomination banknotes from somewhere with an exchange rate of several thousand to the dollar/pound/euro? At least plastic notes are washable.

For some reason this exchange reminds me of a short story ("A Defensive Diamond") by Saki. I'll skip the story (you can easily find it online) but the punchline is one of his best: “I believe I take precedence,” he said coldly; “you are merely the club Bore; I am the club Liar.”

I'm no expert but I think that would be disputed by some people who do know what they're talking about: not every difference is a disease or a disorder; some conditions are innate but others have an identifiable external cause etc. etc. Can of worms. Maybe we should stick with "immature, uncivil, discourteous and gratuitously rude" ?

No. That's an insult to people who really are neurodivergent. On the other hand, somebody might need to review the Code of Conduct section of the board guidelines, particularly the bit about "mature behavior, civility and courtesy" : https://www.gayguides.com/guidelines/

"Trying"? I think they're succeeding 🤣. Happy New Year!

That was more of a (regularly updated, accurate) listings site than a chat forum. As was Nicky's Gay Pattaya.

At the other end of the scale, you can go down to Sathorn pier and take the orange-flag Chao Phraya Express boat to Nonthaburi, eat at one of the riverside restaurants there and return the same way. Cost: 16B each way for the boat, plus your restaurant bill.

Also many Japanese people prefer to type romaji rather than kana. It's twice as many keystrokes but you don't need to use the shift key.
