Now see Atlas...

Thanks. All muscle guys, or some twinks also!

Vinapu talked about that some months ago.

In the old days, there used to be drinking competitions at my University, Oxford, they were banned after a couple of deaths.

I think that we would also agree that that that article is interesting, and relevant!

They were open in early November, as I went there with Peter RS. He had a reservation, but they denied it, and said they were full! Makes your point. We ended up at Mango Tree.

It has a really good Thai restaurant.

Makes my point.

Riobard has a programme which converts straightforward comments into something incomprehensible.

Translation please.

I seem to manage!

If so, they will miss him. He was very effective, and had been there a long time.

I have never been good with names. In the old days when working cards were exchanged, and that made it easier. I meetings I'd put the cards in order, in front of me so I could remember who was who. Socially I remain poor at memory of names, so if in doubt, I say, 'I believe we met before'. If we have met fine, if not they are less likely to be upset! I loathe social media, and would hate to have my friends delineated by Instagram!

It all depends if they look at it as they snatch it! Common is just to snatch it and disappear

I used to use 'Stylist Tailor', down the street to the Shangri-la. 50 yards before the hotel. The hotel recommended them. They were good, but now, with so much discounting at home. It's cheaper to get good quality shirts, etc, in UK.

But he was to be in Bangkok!

Real money or card in other pocket. The small change or expired card can be handed over swiftly, the idea being that usually the mugger won't wait around. At least that's the idea! You need to remember which pocket is which! Difficult with a phone, but other members have referred to carrying a cheap local phone, leaving your main phone in the hotel.

Looks pretty interactive!

Perhaps they will take over the world, like Westworld...

That's definitely common sense. Like dressing in old clothes, no fancy watch, some small denomination notes in one pocket, expired credit card, etc. I learnt that in NY in 1980!

Earwig?

I wish you were right, but I fear that he did win the majority of votes, despite a clearly dishonest campaign. That says a lot about the American voter, the manipulation by social media, and the inability of the Democrats to put forward a coherent platform. The main casualty, I think, was truth, which no-one seems to consider relevant. Look at Matt Gaetz. Going the same way in UK, cf Boris Johnson.

Yes, to first paragraph. Second paragraph is not a valid comparison. Although I have given up a newspaper for that reason. Third paragraph, OK. If all the articles were interesting, it wouldn't be so bad. I think most people would like to see articles that have some connections with gay life in-Thailand.

Very sad that this was highlighted as an achievement.

Presumably not enough bribes handed over.
