I'm confused. Why would any pope be paid $32000 per month? Don't they take a vow of poverty? How are they meant to spend such a large salary?

That's good to know. How do you pay with points? I had a quick look on their website and couldn't find any FFP payment option.

Qantas frequent flyer points are useless for me. It is impossible to find a flight because they limit the number of FF seats.

I've just had a similar experience. I flew to Kuala Lumpur on Malaysian airlines, which is a partner airlines of Qantas with whom I have my frequent flyer points. They didn't credit me points from that flight so when I phoned Qantas, they said I needed to prove that I was on the flights. I said I'd send them a copy of my tickets and a receipt to show I had paid for the flight but they said they wanted proof that I actually took the flight ; I,e., that I occupied a seat! To do that, they needed a copy of my boarding passes! I had thrown them away so that was that. Nothing!

A couple of weeks, if I recall. But you could speed it up by just practising more often. The first guy who topped me (it was at a sauna in Tokyo) was not particularly well-endowed, so it went smoothly. I then went to Thailand and slowly worked my way up to xxl size. The biggest cock was probably on a Shan guy from Adams Apple in Chiang Mai, but I'm not sure - I've taken some big ones over the years and small cocks don't cut it for me now. I was a little worried when someone told me that your hole gets loose if you bottom for well- hung guys. But that probably only happens if you bottom every day, which I don't, except when I go to Thailand. Here at home I bottom 2 times a week with 'my special friend' and apparently it's all OK down there. If you decide to become a bottom, it's a good idea to install one of those bum hoses they use in Thailand. It makes preparation so easy. Don't give up. Believe me, it's well worth it. When I was top only I missed out on having sex with some really hot guys, because they also were top only. Now I can choose the hottest guy I see and know I can have a good time. You can also flip-flop so you double your fun. Good luck!

In my youth I was surrounded by more cock than I could handle. Literally. Free sex was immediately available, 24/7. Suddenly, in my mid -thirties, I found I was invisible. In a country where the emphasis is on youth, I was considered too old and no longer desirable. It was a huge blow to my ego. My life, which revolved around sex, had changed. I still got groped on the train every day, but places like bars and gay cinemas became harder to attract the attention of the guys I was interested in. I started being approached by guys quite a it older than me, and it was a weird experience. The young guys who normally would have been chasing after me were now looking for younger partners. I belonged to a couple of sex clubs, so getting laid wasn't a problem, but even there I noticed a bit of a change in attitude. In the beginning, I was the first guy they'd approach, whereas now I was second or third in line. I have no problem paying for sex. I love the concept of having sex with someone I really want to be in bed with. I have certain criteria which must be met - handsome, friendly, Asian, nice bloody, big cock - and these criteria can't always be met by guys you randomly hook up with.

Ah, the privacy pillow'. So good to hear it's making a comeback after being used extensively in the long-closed Eros in Sunee Plaza. You can't beat hands-on bar. I used it on many a night when the guys worked on me. When the roles were reversed, lots of the bar guys dispensed with the pillow. Most had no inhibitions at all. I'd chuck wow one guy and suddenly a line would form, all wanting the same. 'Pick me! Pick me!'. So if Gus Bar, and others in JC, are re-introducing the pillow, it will be time for me to go to Pattaya and reminisce with the guys.

Judging from my New Year trip, they are all in Japan!

There's a coin laundry in the same Soi as Super A.

I think he wants the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you are into cafes, visit the cafes along the indoor canal, downstairs at Siam Paragon shopping centre.

If she's honest, I expect Melania to wear her 'I really don't care, do you?' jacket.

And now at hear that Trump is going to attend the funeral. He'll turn it into a farce. He'll make it all about himself, aided by an irresponsible, complicit media. The funeral will take a back seat to the Trump 'look at me' show.

I hated the twist. It was forced, over-blown and, frankly, ridiculous. Many in the cinema, including me, laughed out loud. The movie didn't need it.

Don't give up! You can't just put your legs up in the air and take a cock up your butt. It doesn't work that way because physiology is against you. You need to practise over and over again until your butt learns how to overcome the resistance to having something inserted. I took advice from a forum member and practised with a dildo, starting off with a small one and gradually increasing the size. My attitude was, if all those guys I've fucked over the years can take it and obviously really enjoy it, then why can't I? It took time but I finally got there. From my experience, most Japanese guys can bottom, as they equate being gay with being fucked. Those who will only top probably do not want to go through the hassle of preparation required to bottom. Thank God for the Thai bum hose!

"China, Australia, NZ and Japan were participants in the Asian war but not the European war...." The Australian military participated in the war in Europe. They fought in North Africa, Italy and the Mediterranean (Greece and Crete), and Australian pilots flew along side their British counterparts in the Battle of Britain. Over 500 Australian sailors took part in the D-Day invasion.

Japanese morals?? What morals? They don't really have any! And that suits me fine. 😂😂

Oops! I meant their jeans were pulled down, not their underwear....unfortunately!

I like the rapper style, where they pull their jeans down low, exposing their underwear. A couple of years ago I found myself walking behind 2 guys in Shinjuku whose underwear was pulled down to just above their knees. Their bubble butts were on full display. I quickly ran and caught up with them. I was dying to take a photo but that would probably be an offence in Japan. Taking photos of women certainly is, which is why cell phones are designed to make a sound every time you take a photo.

Of, dear! Now yet another back flip. It's getting hard to keep up with all this chaos. "until Friday, electronics from China were subject to the 145 per cent tariff rate. Then the Trump administration exempted them from all but the 20 per cent tariff rate in place due to fentanyl. And now the muddy signals are that these products will face an entirely new and separate tariff rate, to be announced in a month or so."

I've been to Yangon and Mandalay. My plan to visit Bagan was cancelled after the coup. Does anyone have any photo evidence of the damage done to the Bagan temples? And how bad is the damage in the other 2 cities? As I recall, there really wasn't a lot to see in Myanmar, apart from temples. It's a shame to think that some of these may now be damaged beyond repair.

Trump's constant back flips would make an Olympic gymnast proud! The day after he boasted the rest of the world was kissing his ass, he blinked when they stood up to him. And now another back down on computer equipment, all because he misjudged China's resolve and their determination to stand up to the bully. So humiliating! But so funny! 😂😂😂 There is more humiliation to come for Trump. He will be forced to back down over Canada, Greenland, the Gaza strip and the Panama Canal. And of course, he'll be the one contacting China over the trade war, not the other way around.

I was under the impression that a 'wai' is always initiated by the person with the lower status, and hence, a farang customer in a gogo bar, for example, would never initiate a 'wai' to a gogo boy and would not offer one in return. I just nod to acknowledge the greeting and only 'wai' to someone older - increasingly rare these days! When I returned from Japan to live permanently in Australia my first instict when meeting someone was to bow. If I accidently stood on someone's foot or bumped into them, I'd say 'sorry' and accompany my apology with a bow. It was just something ingrained in me. My friends would have a laugh when they saw me bowing while on the phone to a Japanese person. 'WTF?? You are bowing to someone who can't even see you!' They missed the point. The bow is very closely tied to the language and is automatically triggered by the use of certain phrases in certain situations. You don't even realise you are doing it. So I don't care if people see me bowing in public whilst I'm on the phone. From my perspective, it's perfectly natural. I absolutely LOVE it when a Thai 'wais' me. It is such a calm, gentle, elegant gesture that immediately signals respect.

He could always sit on the customer's lap. They could talk about whatever comes up.

I went to Bangkok last year for Songkran - the first time in years. I dressed appropriately - shorts, t-shirt and flip flops - and put my phone in a waterproof plastic bag which I wore around my neck, under my shirt. I headed over to the area around Siam Paragon and had a ball! There were parades featuring hot guys from around Asia, all dressed in tiny national costumes, firing cold water at everyone. It was quite a spectacle. Of course, I got soaked but I didn't care, as it was so hot. I've seen a lot of foreigners who stupidly get upset when someone squirts them with water. FFS, they are in Thailand during the water festival so what did they expect??? So don't worry about your age. Just buy the biggest super soaker you can find and join in the fun. It finishes around 6pm so you can head off to the bars or wherever without getting wet. (This is not the case in Pattaya!!)
