Well, shit. No Death Star.

Cheese fire causes traffic meltdown in Norway tunnel OSLO (Reuters) - A truckload of burning cheese has closed a road tunnel in Arctic Norway for the last six days. Some 27 metric tons of flaming brown cheese (brunost), a Norwegian delicacy, blocked off a three-km (1.9 mile) tunnel near the northern coastal town of Narvik when it caught fire last Thursday. The fire was finally put out on Monday. "This high concentration of fat and sugar is almost like petrol if it gets hot enough," said Viggo Berg, a policeman. Brown cheese is made from whey, contains up to 30 percent fat and has a caramel taste. "I didn't know that brown cheese burns so well," said Kjell Bjoern Vinje at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. He added that in his 15 years in the administration, this was the first time cheese had caught fire on Norwegian roads. Berg said that no one was injured in the fire, only one other vehicle was in the area at the time and that the accident had luckily happened close to one of the tunnel's exits. The tunnel will closed for repairs for at least a week.

That's what I was getting at, in a round-about way. You don't have to be a "good" writer (whatever that means) to write a worthwhile review. Nobody's judging them on literary merit. Well, fair enough... but really, what does it matter? We're all adults here, and we're all here for the same reason. We all have our own preferences and peccadilloes, but we make a point of not judging these things provided everyone involved is a consenting adult. Some of us see more ladies than others, sure, but I don't think anyone thinks any less of anyone else because they see many SPs or just one, or do so daily or once in a blue moon. Or at least, if they do, I'd hope they'd be sensible enough to STFU about it :) To some extent it's inevitable: this is an online forum, and in any online forum there will always be far more lurkers than contributors. But it's awesome whenever people do come out and post recos, whether it's the first or the hundredth, for either the poster or the lady being recommended. Which brings me back to the first point: it doesn't matter what or how much you write... just that you write something!

I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly recently. Once we'd managed to coordinate schedules (she only works during the day, so sneaking out of work was required) there was a few days to wait, and anticipate... I finally rolled up to meet her, and I have to say, I was nto disappointed - Kelly is lovely to look at, and equally great to talk to. So, we started off with a shower (a good way to warm up - it was damn cold outside!), and then she gave me a very nice massage... with plenty of teasing thrown in for good measure. And, of course, once I'd turned over things only got better... Another shower to clean up afterwards, and then it was time to go. I'm going to have to get longer away from the office next time!

Well, I'm sure that's the public line, anyway... Yep. Any financial compensation is purely for her time, with no promise of any sexual encounter. Anything of a sexual nature that might happen is between two consenting adults, nothing more. Hang on, haven't I read things like that before somewhere...? I'd prefer not. I think we'd all rather avoid the paparazzi at CERB socials :)

That's a lot of redheads! Congrats, Cato!

I wouldn't feel guilty about it - I'm sure many of us are doing the same, to a greater or lesser extent, and consciously or otherwise. One of the fantastic things about this is the fact that you --can-- experiment in this way, and meet (and have fun times with) people that you'd never get to meet (much less have fun with) in real life. Yeah, I'm with you on the language thing. It's --really-- important to me to be able to have a conversation with someone; I've had one encounter with an asian SP who was great in most respects, but the fact that I couldn't have even a simple conversation with her just made the whole thing... awkward. And I'm afraid that when I go to see a SP, "awkward" is not high on my wish-list.

As a not-quite-so-newbie, I'm still shocked by it on a regular basis. Don't worry. I've never got the impression that the ladies are foolish enough to think we're all the same. You may be judged on your mistakes... but rest assured, you won't be judged for anyone else's.

Well, to go back to the original point of the thread... The only real thing that needs to come out of a reco is, "I saw X, and had a great time." That's all. And if that's all you choose to write... great! Sure, there are some folks who take the time to write hugely impressive accounts of what went on - and I'm sure many of us enjoy reading them - but that's of limited use, as everyone's encounter with someone is going to be a bit different. For me, what really matters about a reco is not the description of what happened (fun to read though that may be) but the simple fact that someone had fun and cared enough to say so. Personally, I tend not to write very long accounts of things, or to go into any great detail about what happened... but that's simply because I choose not to. And I've also never sent a reco to the lady in question for pre-approval, mostly because I've never thought I was about to say anything that she might disapprove of - although sometimes I have asked beforehand whether she was OK with me writing a reco in the first place, as it's not always obvious. As for other boards, and how they work... it's probably a good thing that there are multiple boards with different modes of operation; it means that everyone can find something that works for them, hopefully. Alas, I can't comment on specifics as I've always been quite happy with the way this place operates, and I'm therefore not on any of the other boards...

Probably. But I suspect the point is not so much to have a good time while you're with her, as being able to spend the rest of your life bragging about having fucked someone famous.

Well, you're one up on me. I never got around to starting it :) If you insist... :spank:

Good luck with it! Hopefully you'll have an awesome time...

But she's an MA, and therefore not what's being looked for here :)

Book a duo, maybe? No-one said your hour-long BJ had to be with just one person giving it :)

My friends, It is with great sadness that I must report that our esteemed friend, mrrnice2, was horribly injured earlier in what appears to have been a crowd-related incident. Most of his wounds appear to have been inflicted by multiple objects of about the size of a stiletto heel, possibly caused as he lay prone after being caught unawares in the initial crush. Investigations continue as to how he managed to become swamped by a stampeding swarm of sexy seductresses. Please join me in wishing him well for his recuperation. Phaedrus P.S. Does anyone know why he has a room full of ladies' underwear? Is there something we should be told?

Happy birthday, Peachka!

I guess the answer is "No. n/a. n/a." :)

Very odd...

A minor update from another thread: since this discussion happened, we now have a "thanks" button we can use, which does this:

Have an awesome birthday, Meg!
