Thanks for this. As you know I have an interest in HK!

I hesitate to say it, but so did BA if you were on Concorde!

It's a shame it doesn't work on the BTS, but I keep my Rabbit card topped up!

I prefer to think that I was looking after them, temporarily!

Remember the chaos when they opened Terminal 5 at Heathrow!

BA used to serve an Austrian eiswein in First on their flights to Qatar. I also remember the good old days, pre business class when First class cutlery was silver. Strangely, I still have some. Fillet steak being carved at your seat, fantastic grilled jumbo prawns on Varig (RiP). Free helicopter transfer JFK to centre of the city. Memories.....

Sorry! Most expensive dessert wine available!

Which was odd, as on the last trip the MC worked on the ordinary machines!

Yes, and the scrum when you finally get through the customs area!

Last trip, I found that you had to tap your MC on a separate machine, by the ticket desk. Why was unclear, but the ordinary gates did not work. I was directed to the machine by the desk, by a kind employee, and that was fine.

Much bigger selection in London on Sleepyboy. Also Romeo, more twinks.

I flew First class on Qatar a few years ago, and they had Chateau d'Yquem! The stewardess had not heard of it and left me the bottle.....

Better than from my back!

I hope to increase it!

Too long!

Yes, good summary. I ran our HK office, solicitors, for 15 years, 1981 to 1996. I knew Brenda well. The CJ car was fitted for gay sex sessions! You may recall that the senior partner of a big UK/HK law firm was found dead in his swimming pool, with a manhole cover round his neck, suicide it seemed! The ICAC, as you say, was very successful, and scared the shit out of people. Unfortunately, now it is Chinese ways!

That would appear to be nonsense, and also does not involve the government. UK was =19 out of 180 in International Corruption index 2022.

Agree, so long as they cum!

Luckily, guys in gay porn are chosen not just for their looks, but also for cock size! In some ways this is off putting, as it gives the impression that everyone should have an 8'' cock!

Bit unfair on the UK, where I live. The Government may be incompetent, indeed is, but hardly as corrupt as Thailand and others. Also they will lose to Labour in the next election. PS I see the new PM in Thailand is launching an anti corruption drive!! Any advance on zero chance of success?

BA had a sale recently of Avios seats and I could get to Sydney, return, business, for 200,000 Avios plus £800. No restrictions on ticket, have booked seats etc. I think this was only available for one day, and I was alerted to it by one of my blogs.

Sold by members of the government, in their personal capacity! As in Cambodia.

But, high speed more expensive, so more scope for higher and bigger brown envelopes!

Indeed!

Some hope, I fear!
