Limerick contest

[Marsilius]

If Helensburgh boasts Deborah Kerr,
It invites rival bids from afar.
My dear Bristol home town
Will win, surely, hands down
With its own Cary Grant – megastar.

Back, for a moment, to that film...

Mrs Anna, it seems, was a fan
Of Thai boys - I've discovered she ran
The first bar in Sunee
(And, to save herself money,
Her son Louis was the mamasan).

The thing I associate with Bristol is not so much Cary Grant but the bus station toilets circa 1995

Most interesting

[Marsilius]

I'm afraid that the old Bristol bus station has been redeveloped since then... I, on the other hand, used to use (for legitimate travel purposes!) Gloucester bus station every week some years ago - the cottages there saw, in 1975, the arrest of top TV star of the time Peter Wyngarde (his famous role was Jason King - cited by Mike Myers as the inspiration for the character Austin Powers).

Yes I remember the case - and even at my very young age at that time I experienced a certain frisson when I read of it.

For a long time it seemed almost compulsory for our most prominent or popular actors to be caught “importuning” as the newspapers reported it. Sir John Gielgud, Peter Wyngarde, Wilfrid Brambell, and Peter Adamson fron Coronation Street (at least twice), are just a few off the top of my head.

Much later of course it was revealed that future Prime Minister Ted Heath, on ascending to the leadership of the Conservative Party, was warned off his cottaging activities by MI5/MI6

You’ll find posts on the main Thailand forum
About bars with a lack of decorum.
Some, it’s said, host nude shows
Where ‘most anything goes –
Hardly anyone’s said they deplore ‘em.

Sir John G. had a lust for young men -
Smooth, muscled and straight was his yen.
So he really felt sick
While he gobbled the prick
Of the occupant of No. 10

So wrinkly old frequent's come back.
After waxing his bum crack and sack.
He says he's well now.
And claims he's highbrow.
But sex wise he's just lost the knack.

As there hasn’t been a new post here for some days, perhaps this thread is reaching the end of its natural life? I will end (?), therefore, with my magnum opus…

Tomorrow I take a short break
To Prague - might it be a mistake?
I've frequently heard
Rent boys have disappeared...
Where will I find hot trouser snake?

It seems that Escape is no more...
At Club Temple and Monty's - closed door.
And the old railway station's
Now purged for the nation's
Commuters - it's lost every whore.

Villa Mansland with boys for a song
Is also, so sadly, long gone.
Every bar that one enters
No longer has renters -
So where did the Prague scene go wrong?

Perhaps it is time to take stock
And, like thousands of others to flock
To more welcoming places
With cute, pretty faces –
I’m catching a flight to Bangkok!

Brilliant, as usual. Magnum indeed. Except...well...heard/disappeared???? Perhaps a short hiatus is a good idea. Or how about (forgive me) maybe: I've recently heard/ Rent boys? Gone! That's the word.
