You confirmed two hours before the date, you changed your work schedule, and you drove for four hours? I wouldn't apologize; I'd be grumpy. It's unprofessional. "Sick apparently"--and suddenly, it seems....

Ha! I genuinely wasn't thinking of any individual post, and I agree with some of comments in this thread--but overall these threads don't go anywhere and may end up doing more harm than good. I'm sure I'm not alone in rolling my eyes when I see the word "race" in a thread's title. Let's all get...

The threads on race are consistently the worst threads on MERB. They're dispiriting and unilluminating. Everyone is angry and reactionary, pointing fingers and casting blame (which is always ... elsewhere). There is rarely any self-reflection or even much self-awareness. Instead of comparing...

Cunha is brilliant but needs to control his temper. Spurs could use him up front somewhere; Son is a shadow of what he was (as you said); Solanke, Timo, and Johnson are all out; and Richarlison ... well ... he seems to be an injury-prone poor man's Darwin Nunez. Actually, I enjoy watching Nunez...

I'm in complete agreement with everything you write. LOVE to watch United lose. I was enjoying the Southampton game for 82 minutes; it was painful to watch Amad after that. Spurs ... what to say? Is it the manager, the players, the injuries, the owner, the "spursiness"? It's a disaster. I enjoy...

It's unnecessary, hurtful, and hateful. Why do so many people care so much and get so angry (and violent) about this issue? Can't we grow up and deal with things that *really* matter?

Any fans out here? Anyone thrilled by Forest's form (COYR!), amused by ManU's decline and fall, bemused by Spurs' disjointed collapse, impressed by Slot's Liverpool? We've got the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Champions League and Europa League .... And the Canadian Men's National Team has some...

I think you're overreacting. As far as I can tell, your very brief comments in the review section have not been censored or censured. However, they're really just brief comments, and the person running the vote doesn't consider them substantial enough for the added points. And ... that's okay...

That's quite consistent with my experience as well. The only thing I'd add is that I've found Indies to be more consistently good--but not more consistently outstanding. Of my top 10 experiences, I'd say that it's about half agencies and half Indies. My bottom 10 are all agencies.

I agree, and it may be more true now that there are so many Indies. I'm curious, though, whether you're comparing the higher-priced Indies to other higher-priced Indies ... or to agencies/lower-priced indies. In other words, are you saying that there's no correlation between price and quality...

Vieux Montreal is Old Montreal, a section of the city that is well worth visiting, dating back to the 17th Century. Narrow, winding cobblestone streets, interesting shops, European charm, and ... tourists! It's quieter this time of year than in the summer and very attractive. If you're a walker...

I haven't seen anything too dark on MERB but years ago I spent a fair amount of time in Las Vegas and on the LV TER and other regional forums ... and I saw a couple star SPs seriously flame out publicly and make a big mess along the way. I know that substance abuse played a part in one of their...

Just the thought gives me the willies. There's so much at stake, not only for the client but the SP and indeed the SP community. I agree with @DouMan that it's probably not a good idea to make accusations out here; they would be necessarily anonymous on your "friend's" part and result in an ugly...

This made me smile. Yes, it's still there. I have established routines when I make it to Montreal and this is one of them. These days I also go around the corner to the SQDC shop for a little cannabis. Then a nap > dinner > (habs game sometimes) > date. I've got to plan a trip ... SOON. [Edit...

Thank you for taking the time to respond, @Rebaynia. I doubt there are a lot of SPs who would turn down a date because the client wouldn't kiss. I think your attitude is amazing!

On point #2, providers driving themselves, I had a funny experience a while back. I booked an SP for 3 hrs starting around 10:00pm. I had a suite at the QE and the living room looked out on Rene Levesque Blvd. At one point we were talking about driving and parking in Montreal, and she said, "I...

You have room in a shared home with friends? LUXURY. Woulda’ been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woken up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! Room!? Hmph Actually, not kidding, I've got a good friend who, when he was...

I'm curious what you mean by this, @Rebaynia. (I literally do not understand!)

Well said, @lovethaifood.
