Been checking out their Roster, but there are virtually no AR's on this place.
Mainly just those posted by the Shop itself showing their Roster.
Might anyone have visited this shop recently and cares to share.

Much Appreciated.

Happy Punting

Guess I posted this in the wrong place.
Shall repost in Shop Info.

Then again I can't can I. DUR

UTFSE, RTFF. Oh hell, you don't even have to do that. Use Prefix on the appropriate thread (Hint: it's NOT Shop Roster, but the one where you might expect AR's to appear). Take a look, and start reading from the top. QED.

Or check the roster, then search on the provider.

And for the most recent intel? As usual, BOTG. GEESH.

Righto. I should know how to do that.

Too Easy.:shame:

Photos of the girls look inviting. But there are cheaper and better options and variety in massage shops infested Burwood in the next suburb where you can window shop to your heart's content before the final countdown.

[KiryuMajima]

Been there three times, all subpar experience with one average ML even asked $200 for FS. DON’T trust AR for this shop.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions based on their own experiences.

Mine at LSM have been good. The shop is secondary, the providers primary, but the good shops have the good providers, IME.

While "cheaper" is an absolute, "better" is relative.

If you're talking about room rates, seems most shops have gone to $80/hour. Myself, I just can't get all that upset of a $5 increase - Maccies loss, no fries, which is better for me. If you're talking about service charges, I just haven't seen any that were OTT.

Better is up to the individual; see below.

For the climes that offer BG's or BFL's, I'll go with targets of opportunity, but in SYD, I always have a primary target.


Been there three times, all subpar experience with one average ML even asked $200 for FS. DON’T trust AR for this shop.OK, I can understand not posting an AR for a subpar experience. But 9 posts in over a year... perhaps you don't get out much. Or can't be bothered to take the time, make the effort, to post any good AR's. Maybe I blinked, but I don't see any (of any sort). Or maybe just gate-keeping (I would certainly hope so because, otherwise, your batting average is abysmal).

As I said, I've never had an OTT request at LSM, but perhaps it's because I don't look like a mark. Besides, I ALWAYS consider those "it doesn't hurt to ask", and I know how to say "No thank you" (in several languages).

================================================== =======
I like LSM.

Their roster photos are accurate (certainly those taken in the shop).
Their roster is accurate and kept to (as much as any can be).
Booking requests are handled promptly.
Clean rooms, upstairs have character. And even the Harry Potter room has its advantages.
Upstairs shower convenient. Easy to pop-in for a hose-off before (certainly appreciated by the ladies in the summer), and a quick rinse after.
Candy, mamasan, cares about customer satisfaction. First time I was there, she asked if I could make it up the stairs (OK, perhaps concerned about her liability with a medical emergency). She always asks me how the session was. And she always walks me to the door (OK, again, maybe to make sure I'm off the property before any heart attack, again concerned about liability). She sometimes might seem a bit brusque, but she's BUSY running a business, making sure it runs smoothly. When LSM gets busy, and it does get busy, she makes sure things keep moving (AND keeps you informed).
When there's been a change, I've been notified (full disclosure: I'm a regular, Candy knows me). Most often a schedule adjustment ("she's free now" or "Don't rush, wait 5,10 minutes").
There's a discreet rear entrance.
Bonus: if using the rear entrance, far door on the left, back yard, is a toilet. So convenient for that pre-assignation pit-stop (don't get old).
While the trains to Burwood from Central are express, quicker, my shops there are either a bus ride or a healthy walk from the station. In Croydon, while it's a local train from Central, it's just a 100 m walk to the shop.
Nice shop, well run, good staff. That plus realistic expectations... winning.

YMMV

Pretty fair call Bravo we all have various experiences with various shops. We all get a craze and stick to 1 good experience in 1 shop. Soon as we have a bad experience we criticise it which is natural human behaviour.

I was really enjoying Ada’s shops her 1st shop at Stanmore especially.All the girls were quality.

Now I don’t go to Ada’s shop I don’t enjoy her current crop. But things change maybe in the future might try again.

Now I see Milin from SBM and Yumiko 48 Keller St.

It’s just the way punting is that’s why it’s called punting.

[17012430]

Nice one Bravo. LSM is a great shop. Need to head back there some time

[Pattyherb]

Everytime I have walked into this shop it's either Indians with their door dash cash trying to get a discount or some senile boomer that can't get it up. I think they cater to the latter.

Yea, I know, always seems to be a "however". When I step up to the plate, I expect to get a hit. Usually do, but the occasional strike-out... just part of the game. I don't blame the shop, I don't really blame the provider, as I say, my fantasy just didn't match her reality. But when somebody continues to strike out, three times in a row... well, as coach would say, "time to change your stance".

Yea, boomers. We have time, we have money, we have experience, we know how to pick... and we know how to have a good time which we most often do.

[trampslikeus55]

On a side note for all the LSM veterans. Room 4 will be available till further notice. Mimi is on holidays for a month or so. In room shower 😎

Envy that generation… they had the best choice of WL - young Aussie girls barebacking after a quick health check- we have more variety now but I do think that they had the best girls

Me, I'm just an old guy lauging...

Like Satchel Paige said, "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

Like Satchel Paige said, "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

You know, that's an interesting quote, and in many ways it speaks to something that has been part of the human condition for as long as people have been gathering around campfires, sitting on front porches, or spending far too much time in internet comment sections discussing topics that may or may not matter in the grand scheme of things.

When Satchel Paige said, "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you," he was undoubtedly speaking from a perspective shaped by experience, wisdom, observation, and the passage of time. Time itself is a fascinating concept when you really stop and think about it. Every second that passes immediately becomes part of the past, and yet the future continuously becomes the present. This means that at any given moment, we are simultaneously moving away from what has already happened while moving toward something that has not yet occurred.

Now, some people might interpret the quote literally. If something is gaining on you, then perhaps looking back could distract you from maintaining your current speed. Others might interpret it metaphorically, suggesting that dwelling excessively on the past can prevent us from fully appreciating the opportunities that exist in the present. Still others may simply enjoy the quote because it is short, memorable, and sounds clever, which, if we're being honest, is one of the primary reasons many famous quotes survive long after the context in which they were originally spoken has faded from memory.

The video you linked reminds me of how often people spend their later years reflecting on the events that shaped them. Reflection itself is a curious thing. We remember some moments vividly while forgetting others entirely. Why do we remember certain conversations from decades ago yet struggle to remember where we placed our keys fifteen minutes ago? Scientists have studied memory for years and continue to uncover new insights, but there remains something deeply mysterious about the way our minds organize experiences.

As an old guy laughing, as you describe yourself, you may have already discovered one of life's more underrated skills: the ability to laugh at things that once seemed extremely important. The older many people get, the more they realize that a significant percentage of their worries never materialized. Entire afternoons were spent worrying about events that never happened, outcomes that never occurred, and opinions that nobody actually held. Looking back, one could argue that humanity has collectively invested an astonishing amount of energy into hypothetical scenarios.

This leads to another thought. If something is indeed gaining on us, what exactly is it? Is it time? Is it age? Is it responsibility? Is it the accumulation of experiences? Is it that stack of unfinished projects in the garage that somehow expands despite repeated attempts to reduce it? Philosophers might offer one answer, psychologists another, economists yet another, and retired people sitting in lawn chairs an entirely different perspective. Each answer would probably contain at least a grain of truth.

The passage of time often feels slow when we're living through it and astonishingly fast when we look back. A year can feel long while it is happening but surprisingly short once it has passed. Decades can seem distant until a song from your youth starts playing in a supermarket and suddenly you're transported back to a specific moment that feels simultaneously recent and impossibly far away.

And perhaps that is one reason why humor becomes increasingly valuable. Humor allows us to acknowledge the absurdity of existence without becoming overwhelmed by it. We age whether we want to or not. Technology changes. Trends come and go. Entire industries rise and fall. New generations arrive convinced they are discovering things for the first time, while older generations quietly smile because they've seen similar cycles before.

The quote also raises an interesting question about balance. While it may not be wise to spend all of one's time looking backward, there is still value in understanding where we've been. History teaches lessons. Experience provides context. Memories give meaning to the present. At the same time, excessive nostalgia can become a trap if it convinces us that everything worthwhile happened yesterday. The challenge, perhaps, is learning to appreciate the past without becoming permanently parked in it.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Satchel Paige simply thought the line sounded funny, and generations of people have spent decades analyzing it far more deeply than he ever intended. That happens surprisingly often. Humans have an extraordinary ability to discover profound meaning in statements that may have originally been made as jokes, observations, or offhand remarks.

In any case, your comment made me smile. There is something refreshing about someone reaching a stage in life where they can sit back, laugh a little, share a quote, and watch the rest of us spend several hundred unnecessary words discussing it. In many ways, that may be the wisest position of all.

After all, while the rest of us are busy debating the philosophical implications of looking backward, you're already ahead of the game—sitting there laughing.

[Double_Adapter]

You's blokes are getting all fucken philosophical.
The paradox of time - a Greek cunt once said that it highlights that time appears to be a whole lot of fucken "nothing" dividing what doesn't exist (the past) from what also doesn't exist (the future). The present is but a thin moment of time constantly fading and vanishing into the past, our reality is a continuous process of ceaseless fading. So live in the present moment and punt to your hearts delight as tomorrow may never arrive.
