Phaedrus

I'm not sure that there is one, actually - MAs often seem to end up with threads in here rather than in the reco section, for reasons that are entirely obscure to me. Maybe someone who's seen her recently should start one... it's certainly overdue. Or perhaps it'd be a good excuse for me to see her again (because, you know, I totally need one... :) )

Congratulations, Angel! More!

Lord of the Rings, in Lego. Very impressive.

One prick, and it'll explode all over you... :)

Okay, that's just cruel. Funny, but still cruel :)

Congratulations, Cleo - always look forward to what you have to say!

Good for you. Glad to hear it. Something else that jumped out at me from the article... Injection of silicone into the G-spot? WTF? Am I the only person who's never heard of this? And what is it supposed to achieve? I assume it's not for the looks of the thing...

Again, an entirely separate pay-as-you-go phone is your friend here. No bills, with or without details :)

The point is that it's impossible to judge the accuracy - or not - of any report if you don't know where the data came from or how it was gathered (and who funded it, for that matter, although that's not so much of an issue for government reports). This makes it pretty much worthless if you want to draw any serious conclusions from it as you have no idea how much weight to give to it.

So, a question... Does something like this usually mean 'last possible appointment at 6"? Or does it mean "I'll be done and finished for the day by 6"?

A suggestion - I suspect this can also be removed from the photo's data later on too, although I don't know how. If anyone feels like doing a public service...

Nope. That's Mario's job.

Interesting... thanks for posting.

Top of the bucket list :)

Absolutely true. However, I've just checked, and the only place where I can see that a private album is private is on the main index page for that album; not on the owner's profile page, and not on any of the individual pic pages. I don't want to sound like I'm trying to make excuses for anyone in advance, but I can see how someone could miss this. Also, it sounds like some ladies - maybe quite a lot - aren't aware that albums can be made private... maybe this should be highlighted a little more by those that do? I think you're probably right about that, although I have no proof. I'm sure there are some guys who always ask for permission before posting, but I doubt it's all of them. The problem with the permission thing is that, IIRC, it was agreed between the people involved in the discussion when it came up last. But people who didn't actually agree to it may or may not consider it binding on them, and anyone who didn't read the thread at the time may well not even know it exists (and still won't, if they aren't reading it now). I don't know whether it was ever elevated into the rules that govern CERB (and I'm too lazy to check right now), and if not, it's really not terribly enforceable - you can PM someone and ask them to remove a pic, but I don't see that it's reasonable to expect the Mod to step in unless the site rules have been breached. An even more murky area. Again, I'm too lazy to read the CERB rules in great detail on this (since it *really* doesn't apply to me) but I'm not sure to what extent SPs working for agencies are allowed to contribute - I know they aren't allowed to advertize as that all has to be done by the agency. And so if you want to ask permission, you'll be asking the agency who runs the CERB account, who may not give you the same answer as the SP whose pic you're thinking of posting. And it may be that the agency (rather than the lady) has the legal rights to the pic in any case. Finally, another question for thought: are we just talking about threads in the main forums here, or are we talking about the groups too? I don't know that anyone's mentioned this, and if we want to have any hope of coming up with a set of guidelines for this stuff it'd be good to know what they apply to. Which is good, because you can't control it in any case, and neither can you limit it to CERB. I've said it before elsewhere, but I'll say it again: anything you put online is beyond your control as soon as you post it. You don't know who's downloaded it, or what they've done with it, or where else they may have posted it - this is simply the nature of the Internet and how it works. And it doesn't apply just to CERB, of course - it applies just as much to those pics of last Saturday which you posted on Facebook. And also to the other pics of you doing something embarrassing while drunk last Saturday which your indiscreet friend has posted on FB and tagged you in, and you haven't yet noticed and untagged yourself and made them take them down yet... Obviously this presents a dilemma to the SP who would like to advertize and attract business, but would prefer not to be plastered all over the Internet. I don't have any solutions to that one, I'm afraid.

I would have thought that most guys have one or two in their wallet anyway, even if this is more in hope than expectation... might be an issue if you have a SO who checks your wallet, though. I do this, sometimes, if I'm visiting a lady before or after work. Or, as mentioned, if I want a nondescript container for something. But after I've arrived, it gets left by the door and ignored until I leave. I thought that was for the worms. But I must confess myself mystified as to why you'd take them if you were going to see a SP...

Funny, because it's true... (to some extent, at least)

I think quite a lot of dancers will allow some level of contact - but things vary, obviously. I find a good way to ask - especially if you've not been to the SC for a while (or for long enough that you won't be remembered :) ) - is just to say something like, "I haven't been here before - please could you tell me what the house rules are?" And you'll be told, and you can then enjoy your CR experience, which is far better than either missing out on an opportunity or pissing off the lady you're with by pushing it too far.

Yes, that's pretty nasty. You should have reminded him that the problem with the rat race is that even if you win.... you're still a rat.

Some online, some off, for me. I don't buy clothes online because I don't do so very often, and I find some manufacturers' inches are bigger than others, so I need to try stuff on. And for some specialist things, I buy at my local store (even though it's more expensive) because I need the customer service occasionally, and I need it for things I maybe can't buy online, and I want it to stay in business so it's there when I need it. But a lot of other stuff gets bought online.

fruity goodness. This

Quite. And then go to the bathroom for a moment or something like that, so the lady has a moment to check that it's OK if she wants to.
