Isn't is called something like dynamic pricing - and it extends from hotels, airfares, theatre tickets and a whole host of other items where there is a fixed supply and a fluctuating market? Not sure if they are still on the go, but there used to be websites for both hotels and air fares where "last minute" offers were available. I had a friend in London who always purchased from these shops - and almost always got tickets/rooms. In the old days in Britain, for air tickets they were called "bucket shops". Rather than offer discounts themselves, airlines would give them a bunch of tickets which they would not expect to sell for a particular route on a particular day. I remember a return flight to Milan on consecutive days for about a third of the usual price.

Until I read the clip, I assumed the GoFundMe was a result of his being driven out of the Celebrity Big Brother House! Reading it, the man is clearly in the present situation as a result of walking away from his career at what has been called the height of his fame. Clearly he was earning a considerable amount of cash. Many of us change careers or jobs and we do not end up about to lose our home. How his considerable success as an actor could translate into similar success as a boxer, I toitally fail to understand - but then I abhor boxing. If everyone whose own choices have resulted in the possibilty of losing their homes opened a GoFundMe page, I wonder what the world is coming to. Sure, many need and deserve assistance. From what I read on that page, I do not believe Rourke does. Mickey’s life never followed a safe or protected path. At the height of his success, he stepped away from Hollywood in search of truth and authenticity, choosing risk over comfort. Boxing—real and punishing—left lasting physical and emotional scars, and the industry that once celebrated him moved on quickly. What followed were years of struggle not defined by spectacle, but by survival: health challenges, financial strain, and the quiet toll of being left behind. Today, Mickey is facing a very real and urgent situation: the threat of eviction from his home.

As noted earlier by @Pete1111, even when friends/family know where you are exploring, it can take months to find the body. On Everest think decades. The explorer George Mallory was lost in 1924. The body was discovered in 1999, remarkably preserved by the freezing conditions.

Thanks, leaving in a couple of hours, back here 9th.

You are the expert here!

Fine by me!

Well, I guess @Olddaddy might just need to adjust his plans somewhat. In mid-June 2022 at the start of his posting career, in a thread on this Board he described himself as 59 and in a followng one as about to hit the big 6-0. The posts' dates were June 4 and 5 2022 and he stated later that his birthday is June 29. He must therefore now be 63. But - there's always a "but" - in a post when he was in The Philippines made just a few days later on that brthday on June 29 2022, he wrote "I'm 62yo". Something wrong somewhere surely when you cannot remember your age! To suggest that he will be 65 in 2035 implies that either this or the earlier post are/were a fantasy - or he is in some dreamland. To further suggest that he will be posting/"trolling" in 25 years time may be fractionally more accurate - with a very strong emphasis on "may" given his weight and the illnesses he has occasionally complained about. Indeed two days before his 2022 birthday he posted about the ailments that exhaust him. @Olddaddy wrote in July 2022, "At 62yo I just it seems, don't have the stamina anymore to keep " fucking" ,to keep taking guys back to the room whether they are paid or free , in fact last night I ordered pizza in my hotel room and watched a movie ,all alone ! I envy you guy on here who can..." And it is surely a very particular foresight given his comment made just three days ago in the Patpong Comings And Goings thread which was - @Olddaddy: "We don't know when we are going to go 😇😇" I trust he makes it through the Kakadu Trail!

Interesting and thanks for sharing. I have noticed that airfares and hotel accommodation rates fluctuate in ways that didn't make sense to me. Now I understand it a bit better. 🫶

Welcome to the forum all hotels in Pattaya are very used to their guests bringing over their own guests so don't expect any problems there

NONE of the receptionists at ANY of the jometien complex hotels will give u a scolding look.

as far as I'm concerned your posts about Pattaya here are welcomed and waited for even if I'm much bigger fan of Bangkok

I met Bud a number of times; we both were fans of Eros. He would play with the guys and was continually handing out tips. They loved him, from what I saw. He was a lovely guy, just out to have a bit of fun. Any criticism of him is totally unwarranted, IMHO; especially by someone who never got to know him.

I do have one more for you, troll: YAWN . . .

The answer to the title of this thread "What is Trump doing now?" is always the same. He's doing himself. Probably a cheap Chinese knock-off of a Jeff Striker tool.

The one political leader in Canada with her head up the Mad King's ass is going to get economically screwed by the Mad King's crimes. Yet more proof of the Mad King's lack of loyalties to anyone other than himself.

Under the last four terms of a Republican president (Trump and Bush Jr) 1 million net jobs created. Under the last five terms of a Democratic president 80 million net jobs created. It's not even math. it's arithmetic.

That wasn't the surprising part of the message. It was the work thing.

The Jomtien beach Condos down from Rompho markets have no reception if that's what your looking for They are advertised on Airbnb I have stayed mostly in Airbnb and have no idea what a TM30 is ...isn't that only for 30 days or more? In fact most times I don't even see the owner ,they just leave the key out in a safe lock As I said The Jomtien beach condos are down on the same side as Rompho markets , no reception, they have pool ,gym etc 10 minutes walk to Jomtien Complex

I am not sure how the Muslim world changed in the last 50 years but as of now, many "straight" men are up for some fun as long as they are a top. It seems the sexuality boundary for them is really blurry. If one is into a straight acting and looking men, I doubt anywhere else in the world offers a better place than the MENA region. That could be a big reason, so hard to compare to Asia before.

The other two bodies found next to the teen's were identified today: https://people.com/identities-2-hikers-found-dead-mt-baldy-released-11878839 "The bodies of the two remaining hikers found dead on Mt. Baldy in California have been identified. The hikers were identified as 37-year-old Juan Sarat Lopez and 36-year-old Bayron Pedro Ramos Garcia, both Guatemalan nationals residing in Los Angeles, according to a Jan. 3 update from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department (SBCSD)...". Interestingly, I can't find any photos or other information about these two other victims online. It doesn't look as though they were active on social media.

I don't think anyone will give you a lot of details because you are new to the forum. But you have to read everything here and contribute as well. Or you just pay 200e to buy information from some weird members on this forum.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Rourke#Personal_life "Philip Andre "Mickey" Rourke Jr. (/rʊərk/ ROORK; born September 16, 1952) is an American actor and former professional boxer who has appeared primarily as a leading man in drama, action, and thriller films. In a film career spanning more than forty years, his accolades include a Golden Globe Award and a BAFTA, in addition to Screen Actors Guild and Academy Award nominations. Films in which he has appeared have grossed over $1.9 billion worldwide... In April 2025, Rourke entered the British version of Celebrity Big Brother to appear as a housemate on its twenty-fourth season. In his first live appearance, he was criticized for an on-air physical action towards the show's co-host AJ Odudu, grabbing her by the waist and making her 'clearly uncomfortable', with some viewers wanting him to be taken off the show. On the third episode of the series, Rourke made openly homophobic and disparaging remarks towards housemate JoJo Siwa, and was subsequently given a formal warning by the show for his conduct. On April 12, it was announced that Rourke had been removed from the house, due to "inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behavior", this time toward housemates Ella Wise (unwanted sexual remark) and Chris Hughes (aggressive verbal confrontation)...". https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-mickey-to-prevent-eviction
