  1. This type of behavior is clearly well planned (premeditated I guess is the term). I realized the options for addressing it can be limited, given the circumstances however the generosity and empathy of your collective views is commendable. YOur reactions are certainly at the "classier" end of the scale of appropriate reactions inj my view anyways.

     

    Personally I hope the ladies will register any such encounter here on CERB ( I guess the SP portal as a start) and the general site post as well.

  2. You just reminded me of things from days gone by. I too used to look at the lady servers with a more than casual eye. The personal contact, one on one smiles meant alot at the time, more so than the stage smiles.

     

    I used to wonder if "some" of them were dancers in training and serving was a kind of on-the-job training or apprenticeship.

     

    Fond memories, must go and revisit them at the local club here.

     

    Thanks again!

  3. I emailed her back tonight after hearing form you all and thanked her for her honest and no BS response. I also said (speaking honestly) that hopefully we can get together later this week.

     

    What a great sounding board this site is, thanks again one and all to those who took the time to offer their insight!

  4. This is likely a story which comes up from time to time but it was a first for me. I booked a lady early last evening for an inservice appointment today at noon. We went back and forth a bit about the time and agreed she would email me or phone at 10:30 in the morning (first get together) with the locale. Well the time came and went. I sent her a couple of emails this morning (light hearted, "are you up, lol" kind of thing) and nothing happened.

     

    She emailed back at 11:40, 20 mins before the appointment and said she just got up at 11:40 (Sun AM) and hoped I might want to rebook later in the week - no other reasoning.

     

    Normally I wouldn't even give this a second thought and be done with it, however, she is a lady that has been well recommended here over a period of time.

     

    I haven't responded to her email and was looking for a little collective CERB advice, anyone care to offer some. My gut says to say that everyone has brain dumps every now and then and maybe the odd hangover.

     

    Guys / ladies, Would you rebook? move on? or have any other advice?


  5. Seeing as I live in the area and am growing more-and-more aware of the local scene, I want to advise folks that this is the second time that the Citadel has been the scene of such an "instance" WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. They received significant bad press over the last incident. The Citadel here is known as a well located, safe, and low key hotel long favoured by location consciousness business types.

     

    My gut says that management was embarassed the first time round and is out to prevent similar bad press in the future and therefore kept/keeps an look out for this kind of activity. BTW, the Halifax Police Headquaters is literally directly behind the hotel.

  6. Canada! period.

     

    I've had the priviledge of traveling thoughout many parts of the world for several years. Fast fowarding through the patriotic stuff, at the end of the day, this is the most incredible country on earth to come home to. We Canadians are spoiled rotten in so many ways (my view) and have so much to be grateful for, and yet we complain to other Canadians (and whoever else will listen to our self serving drivel) about how hard done by we are.

     

    As an American diplomat recently opined about us about our sanctimonious view of world affairs in one of the recent Wiki leaks scandal leaks; "moral outrage is a Canadian specialty". They are right in my humble view....

     

    Incidentally, I loved one of the responses I heard from a Canadian diplomat replying to the heavily quoted leak (from the US diplomat), "Is that all? you should hear what we say about you".

     

    Be grateful folks and thank the immigrants who are choosing Canada as their new home - they are are future.

  7. Just got back in town after the party and was really please to see all the kudos goling to the organizers. They deserve a huge nominated post by all and a special thanks in so many ways goes to Nicki and her team Angela and Shortcake.

     

    Coming from away and meeting all for the first time was so easy - thanks to the graciousness of all involved. What a great crowd CERB is and I definitely look forward to coming to the next one!

     

    The biggest thing I took away is putting faces, smiles and conversation to the many names I've corresponded with in different ways through CERB.

     

    GREAT JOB LADIES AND GENTS!

  8. One of the many things I like about this site is that one is able to sort through through the BS pretty quick - age (real) being one of them, simply by engaging in conversation, finding reviews, reading threads and/or posts. Age doesn't hide well here I'm finding so far - I might be naive, but my gut has worked well for me these many years and my trust for this site has grown exponentially over these few months since joining.

     

    Thx RG for the simple yet thought provoking question.


  9. Multiple calls for car dates from the same incall hotel dates - Change hotels, that "dog don't hunt and that pig don't fly" in my books. Something is not right there, get out. There are tons of good guys looking for good dates but this scenario is not encouraging..... The best case scenario here is that they are trying to be "thrifty"....

  10. Having been a member now for a bit, am wondering if the SP'ing/hobbying ratio is slightly distorted (OK rhetorical question) by the number of SP's and hobbyists in our nations' illustrious capita vs the rest of the country on this site.

     

    Seriously though, I would love to hear a few words / extended views from all provinces and territories, in partucular how we can get more CERBite involvement from across the land. The chat site is fun diversion, but it appears to be pretty Ottawa centric, no disrespect to the Ottawa folks but it would seem to me, would offer a different and another sexual / fun dimension if we could capture more input / humour / views etc from other folks....

     

    Don't get me wrong at all. I'm flying in to Ottawa on Wed for the CERB social of Thurs for the first time and am really looking forward to meeting all - no ulterior motives here - just fun & diversity!

  11. There are any number of services out here that you can call forward to (15 seconds effort) to personally (and anonomously) take your message and text you the info for your later response. I use a service here in Halifax that I turn on and turn off several times throughout the day rather than using my secretary.

     

    Nothing replaces the personal, human touch unless of course you want to be one of the regular, run-of-the-mill SP`s....

  12. At the risk of being anti-anti, I loved the show! I'm a definite "anti-Canadian monarchist", but what the Brits do is their own business and it made for outstanding real life TV.

     

    Let`s ligthen up a bit and savour some of life`s moments`a bit - with all the negative crap out here, this little bit of shining light was pretty good in my humble view.

     

    And before some talk about the milions of dollars in cost for the event, its important to remember that the event drew a BILLION dollar plus boost to the UK economy, not to mention the incredible positive boost to the national self confidence.

     

    I would love to get rid of the GG and all the LG`s in the provinces and dump the Senate, but what the Brits do is their own business - let`s not rain on their parade....
