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!

Great question, 'do you like bananas'! I suppose the answer is 'peeled or not peeled'?

And me!

Surprised?

And me!

At a high temperature!

Funny, so did I, for March!

I remember my first visit to Singapore, c. 1977, very little Aircon, and as a visiting lawyer I was wearing a suit! Same for Bangkok.

My spies in Bangkok, for what they are worth, thing he has lost out slightly, but I don't think Anutin should be underestimated. Corrupt to the core, and clever.

He always eats a lot when I keep on at him, and also puts stuff in his bag, so I don't think it's a cycle issue. I takes him 90 mins to get to the hotel, enough time to work up an appetite!

Mind you, on New Year's Day, at the Meridien, breakfast, about 60% of the tables were male couples, with a smattering of MBs!

Mac, from Gayguides, is the opposite. I invite him to come to the hotel for breakfast, before a tour, and I have to almost force him to eat. I point out that actually I get breakfast for 2 included in my room rate at Le Meredien! And he should eat what he likes. He says, 'do you think I can have another coconut juice?' Sweet, and/or polite, but almost aggravating! Same at lunch. I always buy lunch for the guide and the driver, and Mac is always very modest. I do give him a good tip!

Further to earlier discussions about air fares, this is for those of you who like to travel business class, ie me! Finnai, in March, are currently offering a return fare LON/HEL/BKK for £2,180. Non refundable, and restricted to cabin baggage, but you can choose your seat. There may be similar fares for other times, but I wanted early March. Seemed to be quite a few seats. Normally Finnair are touching £4,000.

Doesn't really seem to be much change. Anutin still ther: the drug runner, and General Watches' brother!

Pretty depressing, really!

Gosh, what a surprise!
