My thoughts exactly when I read that quote in the NY Times. If he truly was engaging in BBFS (or trying to) then you've really got to wonder what was going on in his head. It's too bad, because I thought he did some long overdue butt-kicking on Wall St. when he was AG. I haven't followed his...

Calling Benson & Stabler Thanks Mot, since I don't follow it. Very scary, if true. Wouldn't this fall under the heading of one of those Law & Order: SVU catchphrases, like "reckless endangerment" or "depraved indifference?" In any case, there's no way LE could look the other way.

Since the lovely Miss Tyler has posted this message in a couple of different threads now, I guess this is an important issue for her. I would have thought that customer cleanliness would be a given at the higher end of the business, where she operates. Perhaps I'm being naive.

True, but it seems that the real purpose of these threads is not to elicit a response from Aleeva but rather to create doubts about her personal integrity in the minds of potential customers (i.e. MERB members).

Tried Cialis on my last trip and found it about as effective as an M&M. Of course the fact that the lady was somewhat less than inspiring might have had something to do with it. :mad: I'll probably give it another try before going back to Viagra. As for Levitra, from what I've read it isn't...

$ 300 CAD per night and they're nickel & diming you over phone calls!? Definitely one to be crossed off the list! Highelove's experience reminds us that we should all check our hotel bills over carefully before leaving. There was an article last week in the New York Times describing how...

Booked the Novotel in mid-June for $62 USD per night through Hotwire. Never stayed there before but the location is perfect and the price seemed quite reasonable for the summer period.

A couple of years ago, someone (can't remember who, possibly Peter Gammons of ESPN) had an interesting idea: switch the Expos to the AL East, where they could play the bulk of their home games against the Red Sox, Yankees, and Blue Jays. Of course, someone would have to flip the other way (Tampa...

They drew less than 9,000 for their last game in San Juan, not a good sign. Was major league baseball ever really popular in Montreal? Did the move out of Jarry Park, coupled with the birth of free agency, doom them? I was only a kid when the franchise was born, so I don't know much about the...

I guess so! My intent in starting this thread was certainly not to slander the city of Montreal or its inhabitants. The very fact that I come to the city 3 or 4 times a year, on both hobbying and non-hobbying trips, speaks to my high regard for it. I think the safety of Montreal, relative to...

Booking Through Travel Sites When booking a room through one of the internet travel sites (Priceline, Hotwire, etc.) is it better to book far in advance (when there could be more rooms available and therefore more price competition) or at the last minute (when hotels might be trying to dump...

Actually I have been to Toronto on a couple of occasions and that's one of the reasons I asked the question. I didn't notice any panhandlers in TO. Now, I'm certainly much less familiar with that city than Montreal, so maybe I just wasn't looking in the right places or maybe they're more spread...

Re: If I may wax lyrical for a moment... Very well said, Bob. I used to experience a lot of "buyer's remorse" even after good SP sessions because I always felt that I should be doing something more "constructive" with the money. The fact that I could afford to spend didn't matter, it was the...

The recent thread about cameras in the Latin Quarter got me thinking about all the panhandlers one sees in the downtown area. Is it my imagination, or does Montreal have more of these vagrants than most North American cities? Some of them are quite familiar, like the elderly blind woman and her...

A White Sport Coat And A... This is when you die and come back as a container of evaporated milk.

Re: Parking I was charged $ 26.99 CAD per day at the Vogue. This is an increase of at least a couple of dollars over last year. How does the Sofitel compare?

I stayed at the Vogue recently and had no problems at all with the staff. Because of the elevator card system, it's necessary for you to meet the lady and escort her to your room. There is a small sitting area on the 2nd floor, accessible via a stairway near the bar, which is a perfect place to...

It isn't listed but I've always enjoyed seeing a lady in a well tailored business-type outfit. It conjures images of spending a secret evening of passion with one's secretary (or one's boss).

Re: Re: You have to serve someone! Lara Conbacio of Toronto is also a nurse.

I have, on two occasions, been before US judges to contest traffic citations (won one, lost one --- should have had EB representing me). I'm sure this isn't the sort of "criminal" conduct that the Canadian authorities are interested in, but would it be prudent to mention these incidents anyway...
