I have really but got a few more days on RLC even though I haven't been watching. Doesn't look like I missed much.

September 2016

What a nice chap you are. Won't miss you. Spamming really ... you listen to too much BS.

My Belle left.

Great picture, RAGNAR and there is no question Cam 6 is one of the reasons I miss B1. While I missed her time in that room I remember The Twins giving great views on that bed. I love the full frontal standing shot, almost as much as a great bend, and that possibility certainly didn't exist anywhere she went in B4 (except maybe Cam 2.6 (Jasmin's bath) whereas in B1 and B2 there were many several cameras that gave good shots like this. B4 is great for bed shots especially as we have seen in Nica's bedroom in the last week and Blair's zoomed in camera but I still think there have been a lot of poor camera locations inside and to have no camera on the patio has just been awful.

PMQs are a relic of history. Up until Tony Blair, who really had contempt for parliament, it used to be 2 15 minute session on Tuesdays and Thursdays which allowed obviously for more reaction to events when he changed it to 1 30 minute session on Wednesdays. One thing that has fortunately changed is that everyone other than the Leader of the Opposition asked 2 questions, one of which was to ask about the PM's business for the day. This was a total waste of time, then the first question was a written one which the PM would answer briefly until the member asked his proper question. I think maybe even that has gone now so at least we get straight to business. Another thing that should go because it wastes time and allows the PM to avoid difficult questions are ones which a member of his own party asks something like: "May I congratulate my right honourable friend the Prime Minister for her dedication to improving the standard of the nation's education and ask if she would find the time in the future to visit Sir Thomas Moore's Academy for Young Girls in Much Wallop in the heart of my constituency, since it received the highest average grades in the whole of the Home Counties and the students there would benefit from being talked to by a woman who was proved such a great example to them?" As you can see this achieves 3 things: 1. To prove an MP is actually alive to their constituents. 2. To big up the government and the PM 3. To waste time Actually maybe 4. (in this case if it is a male MP) To prove he is not sexist by praising female minds, although there's a fair chance he's going to be leaving the house later to bend over and get caned by a dominatrix dressed as a school girl, probably not an ex-pupil of the aforementioned academy. The Leader of the Opposition gets 6 questions which I don't think he has to ask all together and this tends to be the rowdiest part of the proceedings. This is greatly enhanced by the government and the opposition facing each other. With Jeremy Corbyn this is most likely to be something like: "I have had a letter from Sanjay who writes that he is on 3 zero hour contracts in Willesden and no mortgage company will look at him because he has no guaranteed income even though he assures he earns on average £450 a week. He has a wife and young child currently staying with her parents in India because they have nowhere to live as there are no suitable affordable properties to rent. All he wants is to buy a 2 bedroom flat of his own but is that not indicative of the extreme housing crisis in London and the tyranny of the zero hour contract" May: "I see the right honourable member for Islington North (Corbyn) has difficult counting. He's supposed to ask 1 question at a time and I counted 2" Tories: "Hear hear!" May: "I'll have a go at his first point. During their period in office the last Labour government oversaw a record of 0, that's 0, new affordable homes being built in Willesden. Isn't that typical of his party's incompetence?" Tories: "Hear hear!" Labour: "Answer the question!" May: "I will but ..." Labour: Jeers The Speaker: "Order, order. We must hear what the Prime Minister has to say even if the honouable member for Bolsover doesn't like it!" Tories: Cheers May: "I will but it is is important we remember where we started from. In the last 7 years under the coalition and the previous Tory government we have passed legislation making the purchasing of brown belt land easier and we have put in cavaets which will ensure that the new houses to be built on it will be affordable and I hope Sanjay and his lovely wife and daughter will be among the first to benefit from this forward thinking policy." (This a bit of enhanced reality because it often takes 3 attempts to get an answer if any and even then The Speaker may have to prompt The Prime Minister.) The Speaker: "The honourable member for Ross, Skye and Lochaber Ian Blackford (SNP Leader): "Thank you Mr Speaker. If Sanjay and his family want to come to Scotland ..." Rest of the Commons Groans Blackford: "... they will discover many affordable homes in Scotland thanks to the Scottish government's excellent foresight. Isn't it true ..." etc. etc. That's pretty much how it goes every Wednesday. The PM typically responds to questions by attacking the opposition. people cheer and jeer and after it the pundits discuss who got the best soundbite. Unlike other previous leader Corbyn doesn't necessarily go for the easiest target that week, much to the annoyance of his back-benchers who often jeer him much to the delight of the Tories. Often the PM isn't there so the Deputy PM, if there is one, or the The Leader of the House stands in for the PM. It is an easy way for the PM to get out of anything that will look really bad.

Foamy, I think I have said many times that there is no such thing as a fair electoral system if there are more than 2 alternatives (ignoring very minor parties)... and yet the US manages to have presidential elections were the candidate with the most votes loses (the same happened in 1951 in the UK) . I am not suggesting this is unfair because both parties know the rules as I think Trump pointed out. It is important to mention this because European electoral systems catering for several parties are therefore obviously even more unfair and the nature of a country's politics is driven by electoral systems. With the UK's first past the post system consensus is almost a dirty word, whereas for countries using some variation of proportional representation like Germany or Italy they are used to having to negotiate post election. They can take months to sort out a government whereas we seem to get scared if things aren't sorted out in a matter of days. I think relating the politics of the ancient world to now is difficult. Democracy only briefly flourished in Athens and as for Rome the democratic process pretty much died when Augustus became Emperor. I don't think the current systems of those countries have any relation to their ancient past. If you ask me rather than learning from US politics European politicians seemed to want to seek to copy them. I have always been against TV debates in the UK system and last time it was a terrible mess last time. Basically no sitting PM wants them because it makes the opposition candidates seem like equals and of course it is easier to attack a record than an untried policy. In 2015 the SNP (Scottish Nationalist Party) with no government representation attacked and wounded the Labour Party leaving the Tory Party who decided not to take part with a victory. in the Brexit vote left wing leader Jeremy Corbyn appeared on a comedy show in which he totally failed to give any confidence in the case he was tasked with making. In the 2017 election not only was Theresa May too scared to turn up to a debate she had been invited where the Conservative/Tory Party were the only party whose leader wasn't present (Corbyn having decided to turn up at the last minute) but also a radio programme called "Woman's Hour" where she might have faced difficult questions. She did turn up on a magazine/chat programme with her husband in an attempt to look human which failed about as much as Gordon Brown did being interviewed by Piers Morgan several years earlier. So you see they do try the soft TV route. I haven't even got to PMQ (Prime Minister's Questions) yet but that's enough for now.

She did "win" an astonishing 16 days out of 60. Although I have not formally collected the numbers I would say from observations that had the league run on then Sofie and Monica would both have challenged that number probably with much higher averages. Sofie was more consistent but Monica more spectacular. Jasmin, Nica and Blair, especially Jasmin, may also have "won" a few days with some big scores.

Thanks. She even skips and spins around ... only Belle.

She was during the time I ran the league but then you have to remember The Goddess is on her own (being with other girls is a major advantage which I am sure Sofie realised) and not awake (well she is often awake but under a blanket) during the peak hours of RLC.

He means through the window watching from 2.6 (the left side bath cam). I haven't seen it myself.

I think it is the first time for me as I had some medical appointment both times she walked out the door on the 2 previous occasions. It is always an emotional moment. I felt it when Irma left the first time because she so clearly loved it but less so when Megan left as of course Belle was still there. As somebody said knowing she was probably going to leave today, even though I was beginning to have doubts yesterday, made it much less powerful than it couldn't have been.

I have been at the airport waiting to check in right next to James Brown's band. They were having some trouble because of all of their instruments and there were a lot of them. There was a short man with a big personality going up and down the line trying to organise them. I am sure he was someone important. I think that if anyone gets remembered from RLC it will be The Goddess (Leora) herself. For reasons I have stated on her own thread I am not sure there will ever be another her.

I was definitely envious of the Jasmin fans having that room with the bath and the balcony. I would have been ecstatic to see Belle sunbathe like Jasmin has the last week or bate with 2 cameras and to see her shower and maybe dance in that bath every day would have been heaven. Maybe if Rosie had had that room we would have seen a lot more of Belle in there - actually no maybe about it! And had she had the new Camera 9 when she was in B2 I wouldn't have had to keep mentioning angles until she found the right position. One thing though she never really did anything with the lights on. Notice how she would always switch the main light off when she bated or put in one of her awesome bends. Her own light was still pretty good but never as good as it could have been. Same goes for all the other rooms she was in. But then I suppose you could say the same about Karol especially when you see Nica and the others use the lighting much better.

Yes when it comes to big star personalities I think of Irma, Ilona, Belle, Rose and Renata, maybe Stella as well.

I don't think I say anything bad about the other girls at all unlike several sadly do on here. I only had a go at Jasmin because during her first stay she was consistently stopping other girls having their fun which too me was very bad. I never had a problem with what Jasmin did herself. I did get a bit angry when Jasmin came back for the second time because I would have liked Belle to have a free run away from her. Even during her second visit when Belle was trying to do something interesting it seemed Jasmin would always stop her even if it was unintentionally until Belle decided she didn't care. However those were my last anti-Jasmin posts which I deleted and that was more than a year ago. Since then I have tried to be as positive as I can about the other girls even ones who didn't do a lot like Sia and I have even defended Sofie. The 2 girls in a room thing has been very difficult though.

I am very happy so many have said so many positive things about Belle. Sometimes i feel like i have been fighting a lone battle in championing her.

My dream would be Megan and Belle sharing a Roommates apartment but it is very unlikely the other pixie would return to RLC. I am sure My Belle's adventures outside the flat would be worth following more than any other girl - maybe Gina and a couple of others - because we know she likes to party hard. It is sad that only once did she bring anyone back.

Blair's nearly always sad. In the last few days My Belle has gone over to her bed, where she nearly always is, several times and kissed her. But let's face it Blair has been preoccupied with the Jasmin show for the last 3 weeks.

I was hoping Blair would sleep with Jasmin so My Belle could actually have an uninterrupted bate for once but it never materialised. I know when Megan left My Caring Belle was a little upset that she missed her even though she ran out to say goodbye. Megan had brought her a blanket the previous night but didn't want to wake her. But still no Rosie to send her off and you would have thought that Jasmin and Blair would have at least popped their heads out. I do wonder about her and Jasmin. There must be a reason why she hardly ever used the bath and almost never came up to that room. When Jasmin came to see her it was always to borrow something or tell her they were going out.

Yes she is going home for a few days to get a new visa and then to Italy maybe

Thanks Noldus. I don't cry as I was brought up in a different era from today's kids - anyone under 45 - and TBH there are a lot more serious things to cry about, but the tears are welling up. End of Era for me.

Said goodbye to Monica, Nica and Anita but not Blair and Jasmin that I saw. Very odd.

Farewell My Amazing Belle
