Hi, 

I saw your post on V.H. and couldn't agree more - It is always empty. Don't get me wrong -  I love it, I like a quiet place where I can work or chat over coffee with friends and the place feels much like a living room. However, for it to be sustainable something had to happen. They closed on Sunday and will be closed for three weeks (one of the staff members told me) for renovations, after which they will re-open and serve Thai Fusion Food. I'm not getting any hopes up as the food they were serving was beyond awful. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt though, and as long as they serve coffee and have couches I'm alright with it. 

Never understood why they did not turn it into a cocktail lounge or something like that - a more chilled complement to B.E.A.T. rather than something very different. It could have worked well.  A focus on alcohol keeps the fags coming in. 

FuelMix says:

Yeah......we'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt because actually, the premises aren't bad. The first review FuelMix gave them abour a year ago, was favourable.  But the impression one is left with, after having repeatedly viewed the near total absence of sentient life, is that the "concept" - where grinning fags drop in, linger and bond in the middle of the trendy SoHo Universe - misfired.  

Other than visualizing Eurasian moneyboys from South East Asia, FuelMix has no idea what Thai Fusion Food is supposed to be.  The suspicion is that they're trying to bag a str8 clientele too and that's OK.

Agree that a focus on alcohol keeps the fag coming in - particularly in the evenings.  That said, their alcohol prices did not appear competitive and FuelMix wondered why the staff aggressively urged customers to buy drinks.  

It may well be that a totality of factors around Volume H.E.AT. pushed fags to the Agnes B Cafe down the steps on Gough Street.  

Oh yeah.....Agnes B Cafe has a flower shop in it and smells nicer. 

Thanks for the feedback.

Time for some answers fags.........does anyone actually go here......? It's supposed to be open from 12 noon to 12 midnite.  Every time FuelMix has wandered past this place, it's been empty.  And we mean EMPTY.......as at 3:30pm on a weekday where the place is locked up, the lights are off and the chairs are stacked on the tables, or later in the evenings............when all the lights are on, staff are behind the counter but there are no customers.  FuelMix has noticed this for months.  When he asked the staff when the best time to show up would be, they looked distnctly embarrassed.

What's going on?

(Are they aware that fags are hanging out at the Agnes B Cafe, just down the steps on Gough Street?)

Note: NOT open 24 hours

Opening Hours: 2pm - 11pm.   

Packed though it may be on a weekend afternoon, one thing is official:  

Yeah it's international all right........it  attracts the Fugliest clientele of all ages, all races and all body types.  

That's quite an achievement for dinky surroundings that retains its "allure" as the asylum for the Fugly white fag and those desperate enough to chase them.  And we do mean Fugly white fags, some complete with tattoos, piercings and labrets  Expect to see chinks and brownies resorting to poppers for Dutch Courage while competing for white attention. When they're rejected, expect to see them crashing into the walls and stumbling around the narrow corridors disoriented in grief and rage while the poppers hit has yet to wear off.  It's quite theatrical - sort of like a Cirque du Soleil rehearsal gone awry.

FuelMix saw a staff member clearing away an empty can of Carlsberg from the bar where the computers are. He asked the staff member whether CE had a  Liquor License.  Flustered at the question, the staff member hurriedly said that a customer had brought it in.  When FuelMix pointed to the other un-opened cans of Carlsberg sitting on the top shelf of the pantry, the staff member fled.  Readers can draw their own conclusions.

And yes........according to some customers present, CE does have special pricing for the chosen that is below the standard entry fee of HK$120.00. Apparently special pricing is between HK$85.00 to HK$100.00. Is it worth it?  Read the totality of the reviews and decide for yourselves.  

For his part, FuelMix has written this place off.

Hey FuelMix

A friend of mine 'dragged' me out to Big Top Sauna on Saturday, "they got good coffee over there" he said. Not that I even like coffee, it was around 8pm and having worked a full day I wasn't really up for it either, but along I went. And what a pleasant surprise it was. It was my first time at Big Top and I got a feeling I will be heading back. It was packed !! Didn't count but if I had to guess I'd say there were around 40 guys there. People were friendly, chatty and smiling. Didn't notice a lot of attitude. The small towels make it quite impossible to cover up so quite a few just walked around with their towels around their necks (Yeah).

Stayed till around 11 I think and in that time received a lot of stares and was touched up a bit too in the dark corridors. Played with a couple of guys, and if I had been more up for it I would have played with a few more. The from-8-to-9-guys (and before 8 too I guess) were hottest. Different types of guys too, from skinny to muscular, short to tall, but mostly hot!! The two of us were the only white guys there and later in the evening a big black guy walked in. Somewhere between 9 and 10 (I think) quite a few guys left, but it seemed to pick up again about half an hour later. Most of the new arrivals were much older, and one of the uncles didn't care much for the word 'no'.

All in all I had a surprisingly pleasant time and will definitely go back. Management also put me on their discount list. Don't really know what the requirements are but all he asked me was if I was a resident in HK and that was it.

It's Good For You

"....there is a direct link between allowing same-sex couples to marry and better mental health outcomes for same-sex attracted people."

------Aussie Psychologists Back Marriage Equality, ILGA 4 May 2012

That has got to be one of the most suspicious and utterly bizarre statements on Faggotry that FuelMix has seen in a while. As pointed out before in Gay Pop Fade Out 2, gay activists in collusion with gay media - primarily in God's Own Country - are behind a multi-billion dollar global campaign to rehabilitate the image of gay men in a manner that smacks of social engineering and social control with an agenda.  What better way to influence thought than use psychologists?  Good move.

True to form, the study relied on research from God's Own Country and true to form, was couched in terms of "harm".

"The psychological evidence convincingly demonstrates that direct harm is done to same-sex attracted Australians by denying them the opportunity to marry, and there are no adverse societal effects from marriage equality".

------Dr. Fiona Barlow, University of Queensland quote in the above article 

"Harm" is a favourite word of politically correct gay activists in the English-speaking West, looking to set up nice places downtown where drug-fucked fags (and increasingly, the homeless) can drop in to inject themselves without sharing needles. They call it "harm reduction".

What's being presented in the context of Gay Marriage is "harm increase". In other words, if fags aren't allowed to marry, they'll sustain direct harm..........OK let's see......

Allow Adam and Steve to hire a wedding planner and send out invitations to 300 of their closest friends. Agonize about the choice of tuxedos, type of wedding cake, how many tiers, menu and seating plan for the reception, photographers, muscians, which shops to register at to rip off the guests, honeymoon destination, thank you notes............yeah......that'll contribute to better mental health........

The absurdity is in confusing the Form with the Substance. The act of marriage is a ritual and governed by convention. The paradigm of traditional marriage is flawed and shattered.  It is loaded with emotional and religious baggage and the religious bigots will fight forever to keep it as their turf.  Since it's broken to begin with, let them keep it.  FuelMix has said before that Civil Union is the way to go.

But the Substance i.e. better mental health for gays in a relationship - or contemplating one -  will not come by tearfully waving a Marriage License and strutting down the aisle to a Club Track pursuant to psychological advice. So where will it come from?  For starters:

• how about understanding Emotional Intelligence?
• what actually pushes your buttons?
• what drew you to this man in the first place?
• what do you hate about this man? 
• have you told him?
• could you even handle a relationship when Faggotry is all about casual encounters and anonymity?
• why are you insisting on marriage instead of Civil Union?
• what if you want marriage and he doesn't? Will you be "harmed" mentally?
• what are the parameters of the relationship?
• how will you deal with his drug use and yours? 
• how will you deal with his debt and yours?
• how would you define commitment in the context of the relationship?
• how will you deal with conflict resolution in the relationship?
• do you know the difference between compromise and resolution?
• how will you get out if the relationship doesn't work?
• how prepared are you emotionally to handle divorce, betrayal or untimely death?
• how will you handle emotional and physical abuse in the relationship? Would you have the guts to call the Police?
• how will you handle cultural and age differences?
• how will you handle his family and yours?
• have you defined what constitutes the absolute Red Line in the important aspects of the relationship that must never be crossed?

Bottom line: the fascinated reader considering a relationship can either act like a fag,  take the advice of psychologists (yeah......the same crowd who in the past labelled being gay as a mental illness.....) and run into Marriage - 'coz it's allegedly good for him -  or  assume independence as a thinking gay man and ask who really should be in charge of his mental health before, during and after a relationship. And then actually DEFINE the relationship and its parameters.

Of course, the shrieking gay activists and their army of experts won't like it one bit. An independently thinking gay man is like Kryptonite to them.  Now that's direct harm.

Pricing in Alexander?

Received today from the occasional contributor, Hong Kong Sauna Slut:  

Hello FuelMix,

In case you or your readers weren't aware, Alexander has upped its general admission rate to HK$150 per entry. Don't know how long the new rate's been in place but it must be recent as I visited last week and paid HK$130. Didn't have a chance to ask why the increase (too busy having fun and stayed 12 hours - they still let customers stay 12 hours without paying extra). Clientele seem the same as before. Mix of ages and every body type but predominantly local Chinese in their 30s and 40s. Could be interesting to see if or how other HK saunas respond.

Cheers, HKSS 

FuelMix says:

Is Alexander worth a HK$150.00 entry fee?  The jury is still out on that one.

Alexander's age ranges have been climbing for sometime, both GAMs and GWMs.  Nothing wrong with that - except that these older chinks are adopting the attitudinal posturing of twinks, which ends up being pathetically funny. 

Also, a ton of Mainland Chinese are showing up there - apparently they like the "luxury" ambience.  If they would only stop pissing in the Steam Room and learn to flush toilets, perhaps FuelMix would be inclined to agree.  As it stands, the fascinated reader can thank them - and the local chain-smoking chinks -  for creating an ambience in the Wet Area that occasionally goes all the way to EEEEEEEWWWWwww.

Since Alexander is part of a group  that also consists of ABC, Action and Gateway,  one has to ask whether the group have raised their prices?  Are they worth the increased prices?  ABC notorious for Stand And Model Attitude; Action which by the Staff's own admission is only interesting on Saturday afternoons; and Gateway which has a long-standing reputation for boredom.............?

With an economic slowdown on the horizon, is raising sauna admission prices the best idea? 

There's no shortage of alternative venues in that area.  And FuelMix hears that hot guys are showing up at Big Top and Club Houzz.

Asshole In The Making

He probably hasn't realized it but implicit in his ad is the right of anyone who's stupid enough to show up at his door, to turn him down too.  He purports to reserve that right to himself notwithstanding that pics might have been swapped.

Gotta love that white, latin, black, asian "preference" "in that order".

Death of a Gay Ghetto 5

Vancouver's Dirty Gay Secret And Why They're Talking (Some More)

...........in other words, the Gabfest identified in Part 4 of this series continues...........this time on the Town Planning aspects of what's left of the Gay Ghetto.  An article dated 14 May 2012 published in Xtra West entitled Gay input sought for new West End plan sets out the methodology - hanging out in coffee shops and bars - by which feedback will be sought from the homos during an 18 - 21 month process.

The topographical problem is obvious: the creeping urban gentrification which the homos claim is making it too expensive for them to live in the West End.  No mention in the article above that the Gay Ghetto - ftom Denman Street to Davie Street - is an example of urban blight and that the queers have nobody but themselves (and the homeless) to blame for it; or that the drug-fucked gay diaspora is now split between the West End and the East End.

The intention of the gabfest is to make homos more relevant in the urban landscape.  It's all about the gay "needs".  OK..... this raises some questions: 

• What makes gays in the West End actually think they're relevant - other than having been there for a while?
  
• Why are the homos in the West End acting like the investment banks on Fraud Street.....i.e. "Too Big To Fail"......?
• Why are the homos in the West End so terrified of  Schumpeter's economic model of Creative Destruction and letting market forces induce equilibrium?
• What are the West End homos themselves doing to revitalize their ghetto?  Historically, it's always been about screaming against this or whining against that and sucking on the nipple of some government organization to have their "needs" met.  
• Where are the gay investors? Where are the gay-friendly property developers?  What track record do homos themselves have in successfully attracting revitalization to their "Qmunity" (yeah.......that's how politically correct the nomenclature is getting over there).
• If, as part of their "diversity", the West End homos claim to welcome straight businesses, how do they reconcile their well known tactic of savaging those businesses they deem "not gay enough"? 
• Why are the West End homos so terrified of gay business competition that Bad Mouthing is part of their marketing?
• Is the chronic corruption and conficts of interest in their business and politcial dealings an acknowledgement that the days of the West End ghetto are numbered and they need to skim while they still can?
• What are the growth prospects of the West End Gay Ghetto in an economically unstable world compounded by an economically (and mentally) unstable gay demographic?

The astute reader will realize that tweaking the urban landscape in Vancouver's West End is just half the story.  What needs a fundamental overhaul is the utterly fucked-up, co-dependent, toxic mentality of the resident queer that has bred an addiction-fueled, flaky, physically degenerate lifestyle with skyrocketing disease rates.  They are in crying need of a Behavioural Blueprint as much as a Community Development Plan.

The West End homos squeal long and hard that they're being threatened by urban development.  Has anybody pointed out that they're actually threatening themselves by their lack of urban intelligence and social development?

Basic Math? 2

A reader who has done research on HIV, responded today to the earlier post, Basic Math?

Hi FuelMix 

Read that post about HIV infections in HK and wanted to make a brief comment. I actually had to research about HIV while at uni here in HK, though the project concerned Mainland China only. 

You're absolutely right, when it comes to new infections they get divided up into categories and straight folks get more categories awarded to them while men-who-have-sex-with-men (MSM) is a special category on its own, and damn well should be :) .. FYI other categories, as far as i remember, concerned drug users, sex workers + clients, spouses/partners of HIV+ persons, blood donors and recipients, and (unfortunately) mother to child transmissions, although that group is relatively small. 

Also, thx to my library, I have access to past articles of the SCMP, I attach this particular report for you to read [Rise in HIV cases third-highest in 20 years] I am not a journalist but I nevertheless thought the language used was quite neutral and informative. Agree or disagree, you cannot deny our community is a high-risk group when it comes to HIV and it makes sense to point that out to (and inform) the general public.  

As a final thought, I'd daresay that it is this queen-like, nagging attitude and behaviour of certain members of our diverse community who contribute to the bias against the gay community! No one likes whingers!!  And people like Mr C give people like me a bad name !!  

FuelMix says:  

Thanks for providing a copy of the SCMP article and for validating FuelMix's assumption on contiguous grouping.  Having read the article, while it could have been clearer in its wording, it is certainly not biased.

Basic Math?

Received from a reader in Very Rich Megacity (large font in bold by FuelMix): 

Hi

Did you see the article in the SCMP on May 30th reporting that HIV cases in HK have risen to record levels? No big surprises there I'm afraid, and I forgot to note the exact page in the City section.

What I took exception to was the statement that men who have sex with men made up the majority of those cases with 43%.  I wrote the following email to the "reporter" and copied in the editor, and as expected did not receive the courtesy of a reply.   

QUOTE 

Dear Mr. Lo

May I respectfully suggest that you take an elementary course in basic mathematics before you publish your biased and inaccurate numbers regarding HIV infections in Hong Kong.

You state, " men who have sex with men are still the main contributors to new HIV cases, making up 43% of new cases....." 
Unless I am very much mistaken, and please feel free to correct me if I am, but 43 from 100 leaves 57. 

Therefore an accurate reporter would print that 57% being the majority, that sex workers, their clients and drug users, all heterosexual, were the main contributors to new HIV infections, and not homosexuals. 

It is exactly this type of inaccurate, sensationalist and sloppy reporting that propagates the bias against the gay community.

I guess there will be no chance of a retraction?

Yours faithfully

C " 

UNQUOTE 

FuelMix says: 

One possible explanation might be that at 43%, gays made up the largest contiguous group with HIV infections. In other words, the 57% constituted the aggregate of small percentages of other defined hetero risk groups e.g. whores, their clients and drug users. If that's correct, then it could be said the report was accurate.  Admittedly, FuelMix did not see the newspaper report and is guessing here.  

That being said, it would only have taken a minor clarification to edit the report prior to publication. As it stands, the report is ambiguous.

Now that chink fags have wholeheartedly embraced the Western franchise of what constitutes "the lifestyle" - complete with Abercrombie and Fitch T-shirts,  expect to see those numbers climb.

The Fart Club

......yes fags, it does exist - at least in The Nanny Kingdom and apparently frequented by politicians.  Check out the video below by the ever-brilliant Max Keiser (and the massively hilarious penultimate comment from co-host Stacy Herbert).

Now we all know where a Public School upbringing, a Stiff Upper Lip, a strangled aristocratic accent, repressed homosexuality and a fascination for all things anal will lead.......  a Gentleman's Club for Farters.

(At least some gay gays combine rimming and farting for a more holistic experience - and didn't porn producer Michael Lucas make a video of it?.....)
