For me it depends on the locale and the type of person I’m likely to see: In Montreal when I was still seeing standard SPs I did not pay deposits or give personal info via screening. I never received in my dwelling. I used a monger name, a monger phone and monger email. I never used any of my...

Gentlemen, I have had some recent discussions with some of my monger acquaintances abroad about measures taken to ensure safety of their goods and of their person, and one of my Vancouver friends told me he does something that surprised me. I don't think I've ever had a real discussion about it...

Sure, but it's the business model here. It's a side effect of letting the ladies on the board at all, since most boards of this type don't. The way they monetize the site is through ads, so everyone who provides ads and draws eyes (within reason) is a benefit the board's bottom line and...

Well, yes. Clearly. I'll attend to it tomorrow. Thanks Leafs! :)

- Construction ghost sites - Montreal street maintenance - nickel and dime pricing - counter service asking for tips - 20 self-serve tills but only 2 open, and one cashier lane open. Why the fuck are you going to put in all the unmanned spots just to leave them closed? - Christmas songs on the...

Bah. that's nothing. They're closing Dr. Penfield between Mctavish and Pine for 8 YEARS! Transport guy says no problem, Sherbrooke St can handle the volume, never mind the 15mins lost to go around, in an utterly tone deaf statement

Descartes was full of shit. There are people who clearly don't think, still "are" anyway, and who continue to plague us with their stupidity on a daily basis. Cogito, ergo sum my ass. I want to verify they exist by kicking them in the nuts.

It's a combination of various things. The simple answer is they used cheaper products and products that were less advanced technologically in order to reduce costs, but that's not really a complete answer. The weather thing, while applicable, is a bit of a canard because those same weather...

That's not what I meant by sounding mean. As I said, you should fully describe a negative experience. "She was incompetent, her service was bad because (fill in the blank) and she didn't deliver what she promised, as well as having a bad attitude, and so I can't recommend her" is different...

I'm not sure there's a set number. Some people have differing degrees of experience. An experienced monger will need both less info and less prompting. Newbies will need more info and will also be more nervous/hesitant about going ahead with the booking due to fear/shyness/discomfort whatever...

Absolutely. Some people would have you trumpet the positives and downplay the negatives. You don't have to be mean, but you should be complete and you should be honest. If it was either a good or a bad experience then you should say so. I think maybe some other people mean that you shouldn't...

Well, of course I don't keep them. I borrow them, I play with them, and then I give them back. I'm not some kind of breast-thieving monster! That would be wrong, and I'm a gent. :)

I didn't say there was no place for it here. There is a politics section, and that's a very appropriate place for people to go and argue their agenda as much as they like. I don't mind that. I don't like for politics to make its way out into the regular monger areas, even and including the...

All of this, plus if you go back far enough Quebec spent money for parties and public entertainment, a la Rome, in a general sense (and some infrastructure, yes, like the Metro) and skimped on maintenance for years. Instead of proper maintenance it was an abundance of patches and quick fixes...

He's a little hard boiled for this light hearted discussion. Probably more like an Am Caulfield. lol

I'm not sure from the context whether you mean this board, a politics board, or the politics thread. On either a political board or the politics thread then it's almost a given in this day and age that things are going to be polarized, and not everyone is going to have an intelligent discussion...

When they spot them they call the house detective!!! From 1938. :)

That's true, and it's a problem on this board, but it's also understandable because of the way the board is set up. The ladies are not here (so much) for fun public discussion and to pass the time. For all that they provide context and a useful point of view and information they're here...
