A very expensive rent


I don’t talk a lot about politics because:
1) I don’t know much about it
2) I have a couple of clients that are into politics and I don’t think it is fair to expose people that pay well for what they want (especially if I am the one they are paying for).

I think this must be an amazing job when you are a secretary or a MP because it seems to me that basically you seat, read, drink coffee and talk a lot, all of that sponsored by the public money.
Eventually they will have the ‘hard work’ of voting to decide something very very important such as the change of the name of a street, a new way of tax people or so.

My friend Jay, the funniest female escort I know, said that power is like a bug. People get it and rapidly get contaminated and start to think with their arse instead of their brains.

Of course Jay called yesterday to confirm her theory:
-I told you Kaio. Those dickheads are pretty stupid. Who the hell would do such a thing and just take for granted that nobody would ever find out?

Jay was talking about the David Laws case, the London chief secretary of the Treasury that claimed up to £950 a month for eight years to rent rooms in two properties owned by his partner.

The fact that nobody knew that he was gay didn’t help much neither.

-Jay, but he seemed kind of a nice guy - I said to wind her up.
-Nice my ass, Kaio! That is my money. My money!
-Well I can’t say the same because I barely pay taxes.
-Yes but you are a student. And anyway: where the fuck is that room, so expensive!?
-Buckingham Palace or nearby? - I joked

We had to laugh over the phone.
Not because of the scandal, the high rent or anything else.
But on how creative politicians can be. And how greedy and stupid too.

I don’t know how much was his salary but I am pretty sure David Laws is a retard for risking his career for just £40.000
Honestly! if you are going to steal, do it properly, something worthy.

Now that he no longer have a job (the politician resigned), maybe Laws will consider moving to a more modest area, maybe Croydon or Brixton where rooms for rent are cheaper.

Jay added:
-Absolutely! And better yet. He will do it with his money, not the public funds. It was about time for that bastard be caught and stop paying his boyfriend with my taxes.
-Indeed, Jay. If someone is to get paid here ... it should be us.
-Oh my GGGGGGooD. I have a client calling on the other line. Have to pick up that call. Talk soon.

Jay rocks!

Another ash cloud!

There are a few business that rely on flights and airports working properly in order to keep going. Trading flowers, travel agencies, hotels, etc. And the sex industry, of course. I had so many cancelations over the past four weeks due the air space closure that I lost the account of it.

Many of my clients are guys visiting London for business, away for their wives, religion rules or family – I think they feel a bit like a teenager when the parents go on holiday and they are left behind with the whole house and a scaring exciting freedom.

They work hard, it is true. But they also drink, party and fuck a lot when working abroad.

So after the storm everything was starting to fall back in black but now BA’s staff has announced a big strike. I can predict lots of disruption at the UK airports – and those disruptions will again disrupt my job.

That is what happens when you don’t have a normal 9 to 5 office job. When you are self employed even the weather or someone else fighting for a pay rise or better working conditions can affect you income.

But I hope I don’t have to go back to work at the ‘House’. it was pretty depressing to be setting in a very small back room with other 8 (sometimes up to 12) boys waiting the clients to turn up and pick up one of us. And to be in constant state of fear, without knowing who would be the next client or if the police would arrive first and arrest everyone for prostitution.

I will keep my fingers crossed to keep the volcano and BA both very calm and very reasonable.
People need to travel. Travellers need to fuck. And I need to pay my rent.
