+1 But good to expose the hypocrites.

The attempt to suppress the march looks likely to backfire with this years parade forecast to be the largest ever. Record numbers of people are expected to take part in Budapest Pride on Saturday, with Hungarians joining forces with campaigners and politicians from across Europe in a march that has become a potent symbol of pushback against the Hungarian government’s steady rollback of rights. “This weekend, all eyes are on Budapest,” Hadja Lahbib, the European commissioner for equality, told reporters in the Hungarian capital on Friday. “This is bigger than one Pride celebration, one Pride march. It is about the right to be who you are, to love who you want, whether it is in Budapest, in Brussels or anywhere else.” The country’s main Pride march was cast into doubt earlier this year after the country’s ruling Fidesz party – led by the rightwing populist Viktor Orbán – backed legislation that created a legal basis for Pride to be banned, citing a widely criticised need to protect children. The government also said it would use facial recognition software to identify people attending any banned events, potentially fining them up to €500 (£425). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/28/budapest-pride-rallying-cry-orban-rollback-of-rights

So if you are returning to your room from an outing, you need to take two lifts to get there, eg one to hotel lobby and then another one to your room?

If that is slim pickings I am a teenager!

Cambodia halts fuel and gas imports from Thailand as crisis simmers. This simmering crisis doesn't seem to be being reported as much in the Thai Media. Although our intrepid reporters advise that it is nevertheless impacting on the available Cambodian guys in both Bangkok and Pattaya. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/22/cambodia-halts-fuel-and-gas-imports-from-thailand-as-crisis-simmers

Viktor Orban's increasingly extreme attempt to associate homosexuality with paedophilia, in order to drive homosexuality back into the closet, seems to be reaching a fulcrum with the banning of the Budapest Gay Pride march next weekend, on the grounds that it might be seen by children who would be forever scarred(or seduced?) by the event. The libertarian Mayor of Budapest(challenger to Orban in the next national elections) is determined that the march should go ahead and European MEPs and human rights activists have pledged their support and to be present on the march. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2k1d7dlgzko

Thai PM seems to have shot herself in the foot by deferring to Cambodians over recent border issues in a leaked call. She is due to have a meeting with the criticised Thai General, which might be awkward. History suggests that Shinawatra disputes with the army do not end well for the Shinawatras. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/20/thai-prime-minister-paetongtarn-shinawatra-apologises-phone-leak-crisis-cambodia-hun-sen

No shame attached to enjoying a twink from this direction 😃

Have fun! Is there a parade?

Interesting to see all these old posts from other handles being recycled. Must have been 10 years ago or more that it was first posted.

That's great! Hopefully you will find time to update us on what and where was good or not!

Probably a psychological rather a physiological enticement........bloody software thinking it knows better than us!

Using the Lubemeup defence, a cunning plan!

Pity that Trump tore up the original Iran Nuclear agreement in his first term. That plan had been negotiated over a period of five years by the major countries of the world including the EU, Russia and China with Iran and included Iran's agreement to limit and reduce it's nuclear capacity under the strict supervision of the IAEA. The other objectors at the time were Israel and Saudi Arabia. Original Iran Nuclear deal

Splendid, have fun!

Although the bulky bodies may have made it feel smaller than it was!

Excellent choice! I have been staying at Bandara Suites since their original incarnation as Chin House 25 years ago. Although the building is fraying a little around the maintenance edges and the pool is small, this is reflected in the rates. One of the staff(who was there on my original visit) told me when I was there earlier this year that Bandara is due to be completely closed at some point this year for a total refurbishment.

OD is just stirring as usual. But of course US takes in more immigrants than the other individual countries named, as it's just about the same size as all of Europe, which takes in just as many immigrants. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Does+US+or+Europe+take+in+more+immigrants%3F&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

That rules it out for OD!

The survivor has said that 30 seconds before the crash there was a loud bang on board.................

Early to be saying this. There is also speculation about a massive power failure on board. Time will tell.

I would rather NOT! But then I wouldn't know which additional posters you are trying to drive off the board. Let's get back to this thread's topic and if you feel posts are inappropriate, as Moses sensibly advised, report them.

Ignore Peter, he seems to think he has a monopoly on posting nudes! Your experiences are interesting.

As if!
