Remember the Hempel

This photo reminded me of so nice nights Eddie and I spend in the very same (cage) suite at the Hempel in London years ago. The Bed is acually  fixed to the ceiling :-))

Andreas Baader

Because of the whether I spend a lot of time at the movies these days. An other great movie is Der Bader Meinhof Komplex, from the makers of Der Untergang. It tells the story of the Baader Meinhof gruppe - a terrorist organisation in the 1970s in Germany. I remembered the history vaguely - but this movie really gives a pretty good insight in how these  guys became from a modest protest organisation to a complete out of hand gang of lunatics.

Winter in Wartime

Martijn Lakemeier plays Michiel van Beusekom in the movie after the famous book of Jan Terlouw about a boy in the last winter of WWII who finds an English pilot in the woods and tries to help him escape. Martijn is terrific and the movie itself is very good - the fun part is that most of it is shot in Lithuania... - because of the snow.

Buenos Aires has become a very popular destination for gay travelers.
According to Hector Aguilar, an architectural historian who gives
lectures for Lugar Gay, "It now rivals Rio as the gay destination in
South America." Last year, Buenos Aires hosted the first Queer Tango
Festival, which drew about 500 people from around the world.

Andrew & Alex are getting married!

In the latest DHW episode Andrew and Alex announced that they are getting married :-) Bree will do the catering of course... It also zeroed in on Alex's past as a gay porn star...
It was
touching to see Bree take a little bit more of an interest in Andrew's
personal life, after ignoring it for so long. Or as Andrew said last
night, "Not every boy can say that his mother is willing to rent gay
porn for him."
Before all that, though, the dinner party Bree threw was perfectly
Bree-ed out and humorous. "Look at you two, sitting so far apart.
Scootch over!" she encouraged Andrew and Alex, trying to show that she
was totally fine with them being together. And then this little funny,
but totally throwaway line: "Now, who would like a strawberry
daiquiri?" Yes, Bree, because the gays love a good strawberry daiquiri!
Always!

Do French men lie about their penises?

03:13 mareku 0 Comments

More than 10,500 men across 25 European countries were asked to
measure their penis by the Institute of Condom Consultancy,
based in Singen, southern Germany - and the French came out (literary) on top with a claimed
average length of 6.09 in (15.48 cm). This was 1.2 in (3! cm) longer than the Greeks, who had the shortest average measurement in Europe.

So are French guys really that large (and the Greek so small) or are the Greek just the most honest. My experience is that on average Europeans all have the same size... ;-)
