  1. Is there enough room for her bags at your gaff?
  2. You can stroke them as many times as you want!
  3. I haven't seen Loverboy's pics as I don't look at the other forum much. And a number of the BMs on here are banned so also wouldn't have seen them. I accept your recognition of his photographic abilities, but have to give an 'aye' for Bumblebee.
  4. As they have been together for some time now Mr & Mrs Bumblebee and Mr & Mrs Pdogg must also be contenders.
  5. Also I'll nominate Bumblebee's mate @Kylemore for BM Newbie of the Year, his January/February 2020 trip is here: https://www.ladyboyreview.com/index.php?/topic/8452-kylemore-back-in-pattaya-jan-2020/
  6. I'll vote for Teya for lb of the year too. And for Emmy as Bar Owner and/or BM of the year. If I have a single transferable vote my second choice for Bar Owner would be Em. It might be too late but I'll nominate New and Petesie for LadyboyCouple of the Year. Bumblebee for BM Photographer of the year. His 2020 pics are in various threads but mainly for the ones in the Katty Bar and TJs threads in Jan/Feb 2020.

    Coronavirus

    Thanks @seven. From what I can understand the graphs do confirm that new cases on 13/11 were 6,737, and on 19/11 were 6,243. Partly due to increased testing.

    I can understand that right wing commentators would seek to undermine Sweden's strategy. But John Hopkins University does seem to be reputable and has been tracking covid across the world. Do you have any figures from Sweden's health authorities?

    John Hopkins University (USA) is saying there were 7,240 new cases in Sweden on Friday 20 November.

    They must have got their 6,700 cases from the wikipedia figure for 13 November.

    You are correct @seven. 'The Australian' newspaper is owned by Rupert Murdoch. The same 'story' is in the Sunday Times today which is also owned by Murdoch. Murdoch also owns the right wing Fox 'News' channel in the US which supported Trump.

    Coronavirus

    I agree statistics can be tweaked and massaged to suit whatever someone might want to claim. But I doubt that the UK Government would want to make the situation look worse than it actually is. They have been downplaying coronavirus since it started. It was only the reality of rising infection and death rates threatening to overwhelm the NHS that made them impose lockdowns. I also agree about the managerial bureaucrats who were brought in to make cuts in frontline services. That has been going on since the neo-liberal monetarist policies of the Thatcher and Reagan Governments in the 80s. They believed that only free market forces should operate, that state operated organisations like the NHS were inefficient (ie non-profit making). Managers were promoted and rewarded with higher salaries and bonuses for cutting staff and services rather than improving them. The figures and stats quoted by the NHS and Government are not much different per head of population, than most other countries. They mostly show a sharp rise in infections and deaths starting around the beginning of the year. Falling over the summer due to lockdowns, improved treatment methods and better weather, and now starting to rise again. Are all these countries making up the stats? I do also prefer to believe actual frontline NHS staff. And it was they who were speaking out about inadequate preparation, PPE and staff resources as the first wave kicked in. The NHS Bureaucrats and UK Government were denying that. It is the nurses and doctors who were saying how they were being overwhelmed, not the PM or bureaucrats. And btw the NHS is providing statistics of the numbers of delayed and cancelled treatments and operations.

    I wouldn't believe Government claims, but I would trust the NHS.

    Statistics are from the NHS and Government. Dolly Parton sings Dylan songs too. https://www.needsomefun.net/dolly-parton-sings-bob-dylan/
  15. Different hotels have different 'joiner' policies. Some will only allow one joiner. Others more. Some will charge for one joiner, others for more than one joiner. Best to ask hotel about their joiner policy and any charges before you book, if you want to take lbs to hotel. Edit: Or book a condo!
  16. A lot of guesthouses and small hotels will rent you a room for st. If you take a lb from bar she will know of places you can go nearby.
