It’s one thing just mixing naturally in that milieu, and another exchanging flirts over tight leather outfits and erotic massages

So silly. Surely this is the type of exposure that can only help their sales and downloads?

But Epstein’s reputation and “services” seem to have long been an open secret in the gilded halls. And surely even then, anybody with a modicum of decency would have considered it icky.

No, this was created here in this forum section, but hidden away way back when, ready for unveiling when ready. There are a couple of premium members-only forum sections, but they’re largely inactive

I think it’s safe to assume the individual team members will represent the full political spectrum, from raging MAGAites to Antifa firebrands, all of whom will be continuously urged by everyone from the IOC and the USOC down to their personal social media minders to keep their lips and posts zipped and not stir up controversy or offend existing or potential sponsors. It’s all up their personal consciences and bravery, of course, and I can’t fault any of them who don’t want to make statements. Then again, we all know the “first they came for the communists and I did not speak up” mantra, so I’m hoping some will be indeed brave enough to speak up.

I doubt it would even be that. I expect no boycotts - except, maybe, Iran and co. But there’ll be a lot of cheap talk from political quarters who have nothing to lose about it, which is good. At least it will be another spotlight and awkward headlines, among so many, on the sh!t that’s going down in the US.

So Sepp’s still alive and out of prison? Never thought I’d see him become progressive in his dotage.

The aircon was a French cultural thing. But it’s not like aircon is going to be an issue for mid-winter Brisbane - more likely heating gonna be requested for the nights.

So, a week to go, and @yoshi’s channeling his inner Trump Meloni to say the deadline is FIXED and FINAL. I’ll see if I can work on the dinosaur to be a bit more flexible. In the meantime, I’ve started preliminary preparations on THE GRID. As usual, a bit of housekeeping around it. @Bear and @Jon Will Chambers, can we still expect last minute entries from you? Should I be saving space for them? @baron-pierreIV, if you’ve got something graphic to boost the numbers, send it to me by email and I can post it for you. And @Scotguy II, I see you’ve been lurking on the board after a long absence. Any chance you’ll be gracing us with an entry/entries? I’ll leave it to @yoshi to do a more general @ alert if he feels it’s warranted.

Oh, look who’re gonna run the torch. These guys don’t enough attention with their clothes on… 'Heated Rivalry' stars Connor Storrie, Hudson Williams to serve as Milan Olympics torchbearers

Volare is already confirmed as a singalong song for the Paralympics OC. So, unless they’re planning to make it the “song if the games”? Which wouldn’t be outrageous or a bad idea.

So we’re moving into the danger zone. If there are any leaks - and people feel the need to post them - could you PLEASE post them within spoiler tags. Some of us like the element of surprise and delight. And that goes for the cauldron too.

I was just waiting for the daily Brisbane bump before I bumped this one above it. Time’s ticking away…

Also wasn’t through want of trying. Sion bid for 1976, 2002, 2006 and Bern for 2010. And then, of course, the public in lots of countries started revolting against winter bids.

At my age, I appreciate a pretty face, male or female, more than a buff body. If I wanted bubble butts, I’d have posted a still from Heated Rivalry Anyway, more in line with the Bella Italia vibe, here’s Alberto Tomba Speaking of La Bomba, how come I never see him mentioned in discussion of torch lighters?

Nuh, it’s more a joke for us. We generally don’t mind taking the micky out of ourselves. The other medallist’s sure don’t miss out on affection here, especially when it was such a spectacularly successful games for us.
