I wouldn't know if it was early in your punting, you saying it was doesnt make it a fact. I do not want punters to PM me to confide their faux-pas, leave me out of it, I am not a punters confessor, PM someone else instead. If a punter tells me they are getting a secret discount off a pimp I will inform my fellow punters on the open forum. Such punters cant be trusted and others need to know they have got such a discount in my view.
Yes there are strings attached with pimps and you still punt through Divine and have done reviews on his WGs on here.
Yep, that episode was within my first year of regular punting. I did have a one-off first-ever punt in Prague in 2004, but didn't start regular punting until late 2010. Chloe offered me a 'regulars' discount after about 3 months of seeing her girls. Back then Jennifer/Jade was about, the Brazilian cutie we both liked, so I was enjoying myself a lot.
Chloe told me that the discount had no strings attached, it was just a 'thank-you for good custom'. She said it shouldn't affect anything I did or said on punter forums. So I accepted on that basis and continued enjoying myself punting her girls, as they were now the best value option for me.
I remember having various PM conversations with you about Jennifer/Jade, LMP and other subjects around that time. I sort of looked up to you as a punting 'mentor' and I remember you saying that I reminded you of yourself when you first started punting & partying, as I was full of wide-eyed wonder and discovery of new things.
It was when we both argued with Chloe & the Divines against the proposed MK price increase from £120 to £130 that I realised the discount did indeed have strings attached. Chloe said that I had shown disrespect to her by arguing for punter's interests, so she was going to take away the discount. I haven't had a discount at the Divine places since then, late 2011, other than the promotional discounts that were open to all who qualify, such as Advent discounts they used to do leading up to Xmas.
Punters in MK still benefit from our efforts there as the standard price in MK is still £120ph, which sets the tone for the whole area, so we accomplished something, even if I did lose my discount.
I have punted at the Divine places in MK at full price since that time as they did continue to have girls that I was interested in. Many of the LMP/Phoenix girls I liked would get days there like Izabella/Izabel, Mariah, Evelyn/Gemma, Apple, etc. It is also a good anonymous spot for me to punt in, not too far away, yet not on my doorstep, so made sense for me to go there. My work now is mainly concentrated in E Anglia, so I mostly punt that way or down in London and rarely get across to MK now.
So yes, I made a newbie punting error, it was hardly a capital offence, but I compounded the error by confiding in you, my 'mentor' smiths about it, you've now decided to use it as a stick to beat me with because I have openly disagreed with you here on your conclusions about TPC. What a sad conclusion to the story!
