I have not heard of this movie before. Thank you for the heads up. I'll have to wait till I get to the states as ITunes doesn't have the balls to carry many gay themed movies.

A Ugandan gay-rights activist was beaten to death yesterday, three weeks after he won a court case against a local newspaper that published the names and addresses of campaigners in the East African nation. David Kato, 46, was attacked at his home “by unknown people and beaten, leading to his death,” Denis Wamala, a gay-rights activist, said in a phone interview today from Kampala, the capital. “He has been receiving death threats for his gay stand.” Amnesty International, the London-based advocacy group, called the murder “shocking” and urged the Ugandan government to ensure an impartial investigation into the killing. Ugandan police will address a media briefing on Kato’s death later, Vincent Ssekatte, the deputy police spokesman, said by phone. On Jan. 3, Kato won a court case against the Kampala-based Rolling Stone newspaper preventing the further publication of names and addresses of gay activists in the country, afrik.com reported. An earlier story published in October had called for gays in the country to be hanged. The newspaper isn’t linked to the New York-based magazine of the same name. Ugandan lawmaker David Bahati presented a private member’s bill in October 2009 that sought the death penalty and life imprisonment for gay people in Uganda. The proposed law has yet to be debated in parliament. Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo said in December 2009 that homosexuality is considered “repugnant to the Ugandan culture.” http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-27/ugandan-gay-rights-activist-is-killed-by-unknown-attackers.html

The clear difference is that the article you listed was 6 months ago. Z was stating what he knew about on his last visit. I opened this thread on what I had viewed on my last visit. Are there really any bars in Pattaya that are without legal issues? This bar did have issues in the past as did many bars in The Plaza. I wonder how many bars in Boyztown would have issues if they were targets as often as the Plaza? Or, how about the bars in Bangkok? I went to the bar last night. I did not see one boy that was under 18 in the place. Not one inside or out. I was there for 30 minutes. I took 2 guys from there for a visit to my room. One was 21 and the other was 25. My memory is pretty recent as they left my place hours ago and not 6 months ago.

Simple? You sound like that nutty friend of yours. It is not just simple to bring a load down. I was in the bar a few days ago and it was nice. They do need more boys. But, I get tired of hearing man boys, man boys. I get tired of hearing, Get rid of the ladyboys and femboys. There is room for them all in a bar. I like masculine boys as well. But, I never have a problem seeing fem boys and ladyboys. I just don't get it when customers are so set against any boys being in a bar. It just does not make sense. IMHO Eros, I hope your special day was great!

This week's episode was very sweet and well done.

One of my favorite shows returns with an interesting theme. REDEMPTION http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/video/?pid=JbCBGf809Y9XIzcGqnEYUPDD4npTYZe5&nrd=1

Did anyone other than me watch their reality show? I think it lasted one season. The family is REALLY Fucked up! So much so, I felt sorry for them.

Personally, I think he could do better. I have seen him with cuter boys in Rio and don't understand this choice. I guess love if blind.

LOL Well, you are full of questions aren't you? Well, I'll try to answer for you. There is a bar that is across from Krazy Pub that use to be called Madam Lek (I think). Those are the only 2 that I know of. If there are others, please share.

Yes, I loved that as well. I wasn't really impressed with the speech. I thought he could have pushed his agenda a bit but he seem to make a more politically calculated speech. Why does the Tea Party get a response?

I am lagging behind in the movies I need to see. I have waited for some to come to Pattaya but I guess I'll have to get more of them on DVD before the awards show.

LOL. The boys use the term. It means it is a more "hands on" approach inside the bar. Make sense now?

lonley. I really loved reading that story. Thank you for sharing this!

The level of music depends on one customer. When he walks in and the entire time he is the music level is great and you can hear someone next to you. When he leaves, it goes up again. TIT

The Academy Award nominations are out and there are several movies I have not seen. In years past, we have put up a list on MER and let people vote. We will do the same this year when I have edited the list or I find a copy that is easy to cut and paste for a ballot. Who do you think got screwed by the Academy?

OK. I'd like to say that this story is not about me. But as Lucky was here for a visit, he will know I am full of shit. So, I'll fess up now. My ex became my ex because he lied to me. Not once, or twice but many times over the years. We were together for 7 years. I'll admit that no one else seems to keep my attention the way he did and still does. He was that one guy that always made me happy the moment I saw him and I stayed happy the entire time I was with me. The lies were all about stupid shit. I am just a smart cookie and I can put 2 and 2 together. I often confronted him when I knew the answer to my question but he would still lie about it eve though I knew for sure it was a lie. He had no reason to lie. I am very easy going and don't care what a BF does as long as drug and lies are not involved. We have now been broken up for several months. I still see him about 2 times a month and I love the time I spend with me. He is ready to come and live with me any time I ask. But, for me, I have stopped short of that as I know I can't trust him. Could you forgive someone if they lied to you? Is there anything they would be able to do to convince you that they will try to make things right?

I feel in love with books as a child. The Wizard of Oz took me to another world. The Hobbitt was the book that deprived me of sleep for nights upon end until I finished it. Gone with the Wind and Huck Finn were read under the covers of my bed with a flashlight so my family would not catch me up so late. My favorites involved adventure: Robin Hood, King Arthur, Captain Horatio Hornblower, etc. I am embarrased to say The Hardy Boys and the Nancy Drew Mysteries were some of my favorites as were comic books of any genre. When I ran out of legends, I read Edgar Allen Poe and Sherlock Homes. I feel in love with Keats and Shelly at an early age. But, I always took the time to read Stephen King and John Grisham. I seem to be able to read those in a few hours and books like The Hunchback of Notre Dame took me days. My first read of a little story about Romeo and Juliet took me a week but I found I had to read it over and over again. I had 4 bookcases in my room as a child. I took special care of the books and I made sure that all were kept in pristine shape. I still have a passion for reading but haven't bought a book in a while. My Kindle and IPad provide most of the entertainment for me while on a plane, watching the sunset or just relaxing by the pool. While these devices are great, nothing really beats my bookcases as a child. What were your favorite books as a child, and why?

I have wanted to test a colonic detox spa ever since Jack from Oud's cafe told me he has spent some time in one. I have not made any appointments at a place in fear of not liking the treatment. When I found a place in Pattaya that offers one day or 1/2 day or just one session colonics, I gave them a try. The place is located in the Fairtex Center at the beginning of 2nd Road. Fairtex is an amazing gym with Muay Thai training, swimming pool, etc. The sauna is called Rasayana and it is very clean and well maintained. The staff is great and the lady that worked with me on my colonic was profession and helpful. The room was nice and they have a full menu of spa treatments other than colonics. They also have a whole foods cafe that looks very nice and I'm going to give it a try sometime this week. The colonic cost 2650 baht. I have attached a photo of the colonic table. The 1 hour session was well worth a test to see if this is something one might want to try. I will not say I enjoyed it but I can't say it was bad either. 179/201 Moo 5, North Pattaya Rd.

I agree with PattayaMale. I was there a few nights back and really enjoyed it. It was the first time I had been in the bar in a while and they are making a comeback. The boys were nice and they had great eye contact. The drinks were cheap even for the area. The music was better than any other bar I have been into recently and the air con was pumping out cool air. Drop by and check out this bar on your next visit to the area!

I went to Nice Boys last night and there were at least 50 boys and as many customers. The place was packed. They still have some of the sexiest guys in Pattaya and worth a visit when you drop by the area!

Tom Yum reopened a few nights back. They are one of the only 2 free style bars left in Pattaya. The bar is located next door to Oud's in Soi Sunee in Pattaya.

And from Chord Overstreet! He forgot to mention that he loved cuddling with TotallyOz and getting Bear Hugs and Sloppy Kisses under the moonlight!

Wow. That brings back such great memories. I read the book when I was a lot younger and I think I missed a great deal. I hadn't thought of the book in years until you brought this subject up. Thanks. I'll have to go back and give it a reread.

Thai's always look younger than they are. I looked 24 when I was 15. So, hopefully when I get older, I'll look younger.
