And he did. My favourite, Michael B. Jordan, won for Sinners. Gurl, he can Michael B. Jordan me annnytime. Snap. 🫰

The red Nikes are obviously a homage to Dorothy's ruby slippers being as they are...err...friends of Dorothy. 😏

Oh dear. Another Timothee Chalamet moment. I hope he loses at the Oscars later today.

You're approaching 80? Wow, congrats! My mum and dad are going to be 76 and 77 respectively this year. They have no health issues and are completely independent, touch wood, but I still worry about them and don't like being away from them too long.

😯 Oh my, if the walls at the Le Meridien suite could talk...

But is horror porn a sellable genre? 🤔

Agreed 💯. I'm trained in mental and men's sexual health for my volunteer work and I've seen clients with ruined teeth from long-term meth use and compromised cognitive and emotional function. They become addicted to it and the "chem" becomes more important than the "sex". Session or sesh refers to just that: long session (which can last for days), short session or simply a session. Smoke means to smoke the drug using a bong or some other contraption; shoot means to have it injected intravenously for a quick rush. Believe it or not there are doctors doing this and it's hard to spot who's a user and who's not as they come from all walks of life. Quite a few are regular, fit-looking, gymbod guys!

@Travelingguy I don't know whether you know this or not but "session" and "ice" are part of the chemsex vocabulary hence my mock shocked reaction above.

🤒🤢🤮

It's funny that you observed this because I find that they act and sound the similar too. They're into the same gym trends, listen to the same type of music, visit the latest "in" exotic holiday spots, imbibe the same drugs and indulge in similar outrageous, daredevil, "adventure" sports. It's as if they're performing a role from the same gay playbook. To be fair, the Asian guys who attend the White and Songkran parties are not that much different. It's ironic that a group that used to be defined by its creativity and individuality is now producing cookie cutter clones.

Nice to see the venues busy. How would you describe the composition of the customers, @Olddaddy? Asian/western? Young/old? Male/female/somewhere along the spectrum?

Second most believable part of this story...and that's a huge part.

No, you've always relied on the charity of others. 😏

Session? Ice? ☠️ 😱

It was just a crack; no "effort" to derail anybody's thread. Geez, who died and made you queen? 👸🤷

Some D? Sounds cryptic. D as in a D grade. Sigh...

No. Go to the funeral first to make sure he's dead and pay your respects (it's the polite thing to do). THEN go to the bar and celebrate. 🙄

Interesting bit of gay Bangkok trivia @Patanawet. The owners were gay and wanted to change a successful gay-themed disco into a straight one. 🙄 Hmmm, I don't suppose they actually banned gay customers - how would they screen them? - but used themes and advertising that would appeal to straights. Still didn't make sense as according to you the disco was already drawing in straight customers. Or was this during the time when the AIDs epidemic was coming to the surface and seen as the gay man's disease?

That's good; never drink and drive. 👍👌👏

555 🤣😂😅 Meowww 😼

Actually, you should have been committed...a long time ago.

Geez, give her a break; perhaps she thought it was a colleague you didn't like. 🤷

All that and Aunty Vin still gave him a D. Some people are simply impossible to please. 🙄

Any reference to fiddling only applies to Sunee Plaza.😏

When was this @vinapu?
