Very interesting idea, and I think it merits consideration. I imagine that MERB relies on the income from agency ads, and the mods may have reservations about a forum that may harm that relationship, especially given the level of complaining that might ensue. In fact, it might be difficult to...

Dang, it's a pleasure being schooled out here on somewhat obscure German films from the 1920s! And I had no idea that Peter Lorre played a Bond villain, or that there was a 1954 Casino Royale. I do know the 1967 Casino Royale ("so long, suckers...."). I also love His Girl Friday and its...

I know this thread has moved on but this is good stuff, @Meta not Meta. You've got me with Fritz Lang's German movies. I think I've seen Metropolis and M, but it may just be that I've seen clips and images so often that I've absorbed them. (I also have memories of being at Woodstock and being in...

It's enormous fun to read this lively and lighthearted thread, especially the playful speculation about Cary Grant as Bond and even Hitchcock as director. NbyNW is a terrific example of Grant's cool, sexuality, and heroic masculinity, everything that we see in Sean Connery. ("Notorious" does...

Do you mean the *final* post or the *previous* post? If the former, then I'm in the lead! If the latter, then @Doc Holliday rules ... for the moment. (I'm goofing around.)

This thread should be required reading for anyone who wants to complain about SPs' rates.

Thank you for such a positive thread, @gaby. I'm here to report that Michelle definitely does NOT suck at selfies! MMMM....

I would imagine that it's also easier for SPs to quickly verify the payment in the envelope if it's larger bills. No need to count out the $20s in front of the client. I really like @MichelleMontreal's system! I'm that way when I win anything at poker: the big bills get saved, the smaller ones...

You all are lucky to Iive in Canada, where "it’s very rare [to] see actual misogynists, racist or transphobic people." I'm delighted to know that gender equality exists in Canada, since it obviously doesn't in the US. This board might suggest otherwise, but I suppose all the misogynistic...

Ha! I had some good Devilish nights. I would have thought they stopped a bit earlier, but I may be wrong. They could be a bit chaotic (in my experience) but also lots of fun. My memory is that they went through some, er, management changes.

I think there's a John Fogerty song about this. "Oh, put me in, Coach I'm ready to play, today..."

Thanks for that explanation. I feel the same way about acronyms and extra charges, especially when they're listed on a website, and I'd say the same about different rates for GFE and PSE. I want an SP to just be herself and do her thing. (I don't blame SPs for those lists, as I'm sure they get...

Well said and you articulate most of my preferences, but I'm not sure I understand "no sessions by the hour." I'm curious.

Gift cards are a normal form of deposit ... but that doesn't mean you aren't getting roped into a scam! (I'm guessing that's why @Flyingby asked which provider.)

Kudos to @Julia Sky and the other SPs here who congratulated the vote-getters. Classy stuff! May I respectfully suggest that there are other recent threads for debates and complaints? Congratulations to all the SPs who received votes!!!!!!

Thank you to @MrProfiteroles for all his work!

This is beside the point of this thread but I wonder what the average number of meetings/year is for MERB members. I'm often astonished by how many dates some men go on, but my guess is that 4-6 meetings each year is average or maybe even above average, at least over 15-20 years.

Then the OP deserves all the scorn we've got. No sympathy from me. It would be one thing if he were new to the scene, was priced out of the agency or indy market, or simply wanted to convey his frustration at being scammed. However, he's got a robust history over the last few months of posting...

Well said!

SPs often express frustration out here about last-minute cancellations (lots of grandmothers dying in January!), and I don't blame them. It's a waste of time and a loss of money. The same is true for clients, especially ones (like me) with limited opportunities to indulge in Montreal. It's all...
