Personally, I feel the moderators do a bloody good job maintaining a site that has the potential to spin off into grotesque extremes. But then I’m not a man who whips out the victim card at every slight, imagined or otherwise. And I can’t help observing the only example of bullying on this thread is the singling out of one of the moderators, presumably inviting a pile-in on him. If that was the intention, leave me out.

Cases in the UK have slowed, if not declined, according to latest government information, despite the number of Pride events through the summer. Hopefully that will be the case in NYC as well.,

IMPORTANT: Big changes coming to hookup sites and apps

I use Firefox on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. It works fine for me. -
The PA (Prince Albert) Hotel was amazing when I was there. Check out their website - they do themed (including BB) weekends. I haven’t stayed in the (in)famous Trades Hotel for a long time so I don’t know what it’s like now.

If you could possess a supernatural power, what would it be?

Time travel. I don’t want it much. Not centuries or anything like that. Just the ability to jump ahead a couple of hours to see if the Grindr hookup actually shows up. -
Tom Ellis is fit as fuck as Lucifer, though…

It would be a good way to attract an Uber driver. Something I’ve never managed to do (yet).

Are you on the train? If so, it’ll give a whole new meaning to the Rush hour… Seriously, I’d be fuming.

Latest post on the BBC News website: “So far there have been 3,017 cases in total across the UK, with officials noting that the outbreak is beginning to slow. The latest data shows 29 cases a day confirmed on average, compared to 52 cases a day during the last week in June. More than 25,000 people have received a dose of the vaccine.” The slowdown is to be welcomed. Hopefully the trend continues.

I’m often told I’m going to Hell. My usual reply is: “Perhaps. But just think who I’ll be seen dead with.”

Well said. Particularly your last paragraph.

There have always been risks associated with sexual freedom and not just health related. Execution. Imprisonment. Violence. Society’s disdain. Caution is always prudent but one cannot go through life shying away from every shadow. Centuries ago the pox was a death sentence. Decades ago so, too, was AIDS. But people didn’t stop fucking because, as the late, great Joe Orton once said “you’ll regret not having fun with your genitals when you’re dead.”

As someone who doesn’t solely define a man as a life support system for a penis, I couldn’t care less what colour a cock is (or age or religion, come to that.) Only that whoever it’s attached to has some idea what to do with it.

As George Michael notoriously cruised the Heath anonymously, I’ve often wondered if our paths ever crossed there. Actually, I did meet him twice professionally (and fully clothed!) but it would have been a bit rude to ask him about his Heath exploits… One night down there I met a very sexy blond Scottish guy, who invited me back to his. I followed his car for bloody miles. When we got there he dressed as a school boy (cap and all) and wanted me to “punish” him. It wasn’t really my thing at all but I played along because it was 3am and I had bugger anywhere else to go. Next morning we were served breakfast in bed by his flatmate who looked like Kathy Burke in Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. It was utterly bizarre. But that’s the Heath for you.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the Heath. I sometimes feel that some guys who've never been there think those of us who have (many times in my case!) are exaggerating when we relate our stories. And I get that - sometimes even I have difficulty in believing some of the things I've done and witnessed there actually happened!

That’s very interesting, To be honest, I was surprised how laid back my consultant was about it all.
-
There seems to be mixed messages about this. When I went for my regular 6 month check up and bloods last week, I asked my consultant about monkeypox. She asked if I’d had the smallpox jab as a kid. I said I had and even showed her the scar. “Oh, you should be okay, then,” she said. “You should have some good immunity.” And that was it. Not terribly convincing if I’m honest. But I’m guessing that means over 50s (the vaccination programme in the UK ended in 1971) won’t be prioritised in any new vaccination programme for monkeypox.

I think “Cockoos” are pretty common to most saunas I’ve been to!

Back in the 80s/90s I used to cruise near a USAF airbase here in the UK and hooked up with quite a few American airmen (and, hell, were some of those guys fit!). We not only had to evade the regular UK police but the military police, too.

Indeed. A mate in Manchester had it a couple of weeks ago following a group session, but only half of them got it. He’s been lucky as it’s been very mild in his case. It had started to clear up after a couple of days.

In the UK, the Heath Security Agency has just withdrawn the need to isolate for anyone who’s been in close contact with someone who has MP providing they’re showing no symptoms. Apparently it’s because the most recent evidence here shows that “only a relatively small number of close contacts have gone on to develop monkeypox themselves.” I must admit, I was surprised how laidback my consultant was about monkeypox last week when I had my six monthly checkup.
-
I agree with much of that. As someone who never came out because, essentially, I was never in, I’ve never had a problem showing my face on Grindr or Scruff. However, I note not many guys have a clear face picture on here, myself included. Is that because it’s not a hook-up site or because of the nature of the site? Probably both. I’m not making any judgements about that, by the way. I respect it. However, as a general rule of thumb I do understand the “No pic, no chat” rule, even if I’ve been pleasantly surprised on occasions I’ve broken it.
-
It’s the same with the bias against faceless profiles. There may be 1001 reasons why someone can’t or won’t post a profile picture for the world to see. In some countries, it could be positively dangerous for him to do so. It’s not for me to judge anyone for it.

Perhaps, then, the fundamental difference between us is that I’ve always adhered to the adage that it is better to travel hopefully than it is to arrive. So someone taps me, I respond and nothing comes back. What have I lost? Nothing. But if I’m tapped and don’t respond, I might - possibly not in your experience - just might have missed out on something good. I’m naturally laid back and optimistic and thus regard apps for what they are - a meaningless distraction for an hour or two, with no expectations on my part. If I get good sex on them (which I have), great. If not, I’ll grab a coffee or a whisky and watch some TV. To take them any more seriously than than, still less be annoyed by them, seems somewhat pointless to my mind.
