a-447

I don't remember seeing a machine there. Everyone just paid at the counter.

The problem of the weight of the aircraft was exacerbated by the high temperature of 40 degrees.

No. That's a given!

I last saw him perform at a Royal Command concert in front of Queen Elizabeth. He looked terrible and didn't seem to know where he was. He had no idea how to address the Queen, so he introduced his song saying: 'This is for you.....queenie'. Oh, dear!

I stand corrected. Apparently Gabriel Coimbra is Brazilian.

No. I found him - or at least, his link to his OF. https://onlyfans.com/kurtsadams I also found a link where he jokingly tells his parents not to click on the link!

I saw the bbc interview. He came across as a little shy and more than a little embarrassed. But very likeable. And very handsome indeed! I'm presuming he's gay. I also think he should just concentrate on the Olympics - the money he's made so far should cover the costs. But when the games are over, he should go straight back on OF and make a fortune. Great cock, btw.

I think Gabriel Coimbra is named after the city of Coimbra in Portugal.

Just about everywhere I went in Japan and China on my recent trip used qr codes - for every thing, not just menus. Restaurants in Japan use either a qr code, or you order from an ipad.I can't remember when I last used a physical menu in Japan, although I used to prefer them. I like eating dinner in an 'izakaya', which is a pub-style establishment where you order lots of small dishes. A qr code allows you to keep track of what you've ordered. To pay the bill you simply scan the code and walk out. One of my favourite places to eat is Kura Sushi. I'm not a fan of sushi and don't eat raw fish, but Kura sells all kinds of small dishes. You never interact with staff members. (They are lurking in the background in case you have a question.) Once you get used to it, it all makes sense.

I'm surprised to read about the unfriendly attitude of the guys at reception. I've always found them pleasant to deal with.

Not a chance!

I was planning to spend a week at the Marina Bay Sands a couple of years ago. I quickly changed my mind when I found out you had to reserve a time slot to use the pool! The only times available for me were early in the morning when I'm usually still in bed. So I'm glad to hear it's not all that it's cracked up to be. It seems I dodged a bullet. Peter, I'm surprised to hear Cathay Pacific asked you for a review. I've travelled on them for years - the latest being last month - and have never been asked. Maybe it's something new. The tour guide who took us around The Forbidden City in Beijing asked for a review, which I happily provided. Competition among the guides seems to be fierce. But by and large, I don't bother writing reviews.

Probably not much! Japan is not Thailand.

Yes. They are present at tourist sites. It's hard work, so the guys are all young and fit. Many are drop-dead gorgeous. I saw them in Kyoto last month and was tempted. The view from behind would be very erotic indeed, especially as some wear short white pants. Yum!!!! But the wait for a ride was too long.

What? My home city of Perth is bidding for the Gay Games? That's news to me. How come I've never heard about this?
