Phaedrus

Absolutely. I refuse to get a phone that handles email for precisely this reason, and I'm quite happy to ignore my cell if I feel so inclined. It's there for my convenience, not anyone else's. Some of the best times in my life have been when I've been living in a tent for a month or more at a time and completely remote from everything. As in, World War Three could have broken out and I wouldn't have found out for a week or two. It was awesome!

Since we seem to have a few... I have arbitrarily decided that we need a new group :) http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/group.php?groupid=72

Well, if we're going metal, a couple of very old Iron Maiden songs for you: 22 Acacia Avenue Health warning: youtube links feature guys in leather and spandex. This was the early 80s, after all.

I don't think you'd ever expect to get DATY or any sort of BJ in a MP, as my understanding is that this is where it crosses the line into bawdy-house territory. Although I don't *know*, 'cos I've never actually asked. Indies, of course, can do whatever they like :) Although I get the impression that most (but not all) who advertise as MAs rather than FS SPs stay within similar limits.

...here's one from Spain who appears to be much less dull :) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/15/menorcan_polititian/

On the subject... someone's pandering to their local audience :) http://www.bostonpizza.com/fr/default

Absolutely. Shouldn't need saying, but sometimes it does.

That "knowingly" looks important to me. Doesn't that mean this law only holds good if the landlord actually knows what their tenant is doing, and if this can actually be proven? I'd assume that most SPs don't tell the landlords of their incalls exactly what they're up to.... :)

Highly Orgasmic Liaisons, Exclusively Yours! KARMA

Gaah! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong - I can see the pics I post. Link for the last one is http://www.labatidora.net/galerias/ftvgirls-jenny-11142009/images/10.jpg - does that work if you click it? ie is it a fundamentally bad link, or me screwing up the posting?

Hmmm....tough one. I'll have a think about it. In the meantime, here's some more materiel for contemplation... provided I don't mess the link up this time...

Unfortunately, I think her fate was pretty much sealed as soon as 'sex' and 'school' appeared in the same story. That's precisely the sort of thing that brings out the knee-jerk 'won't somebody think of the children' brigade irrespective of the salient facts, and regrettably there aren't that many decision-makers who will fight for a rational decision in the face of that.

I don't like that, and I'll go to some effort to avoid seeing a filmed version of a book that I'd like to read. I prefer to read the book first and develop my own idea of what locations and characters look and sound like. If I see someone else's vision of it first, I find I can never get past that and form my own...

For the Islay lovers, Caol Ila and Ardbeg are both also very good. And I'd second Cato on the Talisker. My current favorite is my bottle of 12yo Auchentoshan... but not for long, 'cos it's nearly done, alas...

Ya, he's hard work. I sometimes wonder whether he's showing off with his verbal gymnastics, or whether it just doesn't occur to him that most people simply won't have the same vocabulary as him (and also if the original Italian is as bad). I've got 'Baudolino' sitting in my to-read pile at the moment, and I keep overlooking it in favor of something easier...

Thanks for the wirite-up, WIT. So - IANAL, and I'm now rather confused. Does this mean that "normal" SC activities in QC are still a legal grey area, pending some decision on what constitutes "sexual services" and what doesn't? Is there any chance we could get a lady to give a guy an ever-escalating lapdance in court (preferably the Supreme Court), and have the judges press a button when they thought it had reached the illegal stage - and then have each one write a formal justification of why they hit the button when they did (including an analysis of why they didn't hit it any earlier)? Ya, I know, there's no chance at all, but I think it's a nice idea :)

If you haven't already, and assuming they agree, it may be worth telling the mod who they are so they can go on the DNR list.

Congratulations, Mistert!

Definitely second Neil Gaiman. If you haven't already, and you want a very funny book about the apocalypse, read Good Omens, which he co-wrote with Terry Pratchet. And on the subject of Terry Pratchet, I'd recommend him to almost anyone. Additional Comments: Yes, it is.

One other great thing about bartering... the taxman generally doesn't get a cut :) Yes, I suspect there's technically some rules about payment in kind or somesuch, but can't imagine they'd be worth the hassle of enforcing. I may be wrong, or course.

Try tools -> options -> privacy and make sure 'Remember search and form history' is unchecked. This will stop it happening in future. To remove what it's remembered now, I *think* you can: - Go to gmail - click in the username bit - press the down arrow to bring up a list of usernames, and again until yours is highlighted - hit delete (or possibly shift-delete if you have a very old FF version) I haven't tried the second bit, 'cos I did the first a very long time ago :)

What makes you think you can escape?

Thread hijack! But yes, she did - she's indy now.
