and more
a few things
from the

of Hamilton
Hall and
anything you
care to send
in. |
'What I
say - is
responsible,
and I am
responsible,
for
saying
it.'
All
views

here are
just my
own.
|
Love
me or
hate m e,
I do the
best I
can. I
know I
talk too
much
and I
know I
am loud
and
pushy. I
have
strong
and
powerful
opinions
and I am
emotional
and
forthright
in
sharing
my
views. I
am well
read -
intelligent
- no
one's
dummy
and
understand
and
appreciate
global
fears
for the
environment,
the
various
wars,
politics,
conspiracy
theories,
religion,
history
and even
sex -
drugs
and
rock'n'roll
- plus a
million
other
things
that I
am
fascinated
with and
love to
share
with
others.
I know
some
fear me,
envy -
resent
and are
jealous
of
me;- I
know
this for
I get
hate
mail,
spite
filled
garbage
on some
gay mens
web sites
and
hateful
comments
about me
from
complete
strangers
I have
never
met.
Being
well
hung -
considered
wealthy
and an x
sex
worker
really
bugs
some who
throw
abuse
and
resentment,
and I
find it
funny...
as I am
what I
am and
tough if
you
don't
like
that -
you
don't
know me.
Mind you
:- I k now
many others
admire
and
respect
me and
know
that I
have a
heart of
gold and
try - in
whatever
I do -
to do,
and to
offer,
the
right
thing.
I know
at times
I fear
for
myself.
I have a
passionate
belief
that
human
kind
will do
the
right
thing
before
it is
too
late,
and I
trust
that the
soul of
wo/mankind
will
awaken
to the
realities
of what
is going
on and
how we
are all
responsible.
Playing
dead and
ignorant
helps no
one. I
believe
that
women
and gay
men are
largely
amongst
the
spiritual
leaders
and that
we can,
if we
choose,
make
this a
better
world
for
everyone.
If
only the
gay
community
could
get its
head out
from its
ass and
try and
be
a little
nicer
and stop
conning
and
ripping
each
other
off all
the
time.
If only
some in the gay
world
could be
a
little
kinder,
offer a
more
supportive
community
for a
change
and if
only we
could
all see
ourselves
in
others,
then
maybe we
would be
more
thoughtful
towards
others.
It's not
all
about
making
money.
I am
guilty
of
barking
and
getting
annoyed
with
others,
as
running
a small
business
is never
easy and
the gay
media is
not the
most
friendly,
courteous
or
efficient
bunch
around
and as
small
business
is
really
unwanted
by the
government
and when
banks
screw
you,
utility
companies
increase
gas
charges
by 48%
in one
year and
the
paperwork
required
is
daunting,
it does
weigh
you
down...
and yet
I love
what I
do, i
struggle
on and I
hope you
will
find us
soon.
we have a big new web site coming soon... so stay with us... in a few weeks all will be revealed.
These are weekends here at Hamilton Hall for guys who are HIV+ and is a new one for us and while advertising and thinking of where to promote these events, I Googled Body Positive groups up and down the country and e mailed over a dozen with information and news about the weekend and every single one was returned, for it seems all Body Positive groups have closed down and this is a bad thing.
So many guys have spoken to me about the need of some kind of social event with a structure of inner healing, that we have introduced these weekends and judging from the first in January which was great fun, these will get busier and busier and will be popular.
Every weekend will include
MEDITATION / BREATH WORK FOR INNER HEALING / CHILL OUT / DISCUSSION AND SHARED INPUT / SELF TIME
as well as a special theme each time -ie: Foot Massage Tuition to help with Neuropathy : Indian Head Massage Tuition to help relieve stress : and so forth.
Jan 15th - 17th / March 5th - 7th / April 30th - May 2nd
May 17th -19th - REIKI WEEKEND / June 18th - 20th / Aug 6th - 8th
Sept 6th - 8th / Oct 8th - 10th / Nov 1st - 3rd / Dec 3rd - 5th
Hi JJohn. Happy Christmas to you and thanks for keeping me up to date on Hamilton Hall. Always good to hear what you are planning and the HIV+ weekend is another example of your insight and vision. I'll try to get down to Bournemouth soon but meanwhile, have a great New Year. X. David
John. Your HIV weekends are a superb idea and so needed. I shall tell all my friends. Roland
Dear John: It's about time someone offered something like this. There seems little available unless you live in London and then it can be a bit 'clicky' and unfriendly. I shall definitely be attending and probably most months. This is exactly what I feel I desire to help me with so many little nagging things like the Neuropathy. John, well done for the thought, the idea, the way you go about seeing what is needed and trying to offer your expertise and venue for no profit. I really hope the gay community appreciates what it has in Hamilton Hall . I am always amazed the gay media do not cover your place with praise and free promotion. I remember how hard it was at Lighthouse when the gay media was completely against it from the beginning until they saw how great it was and changed their tune. The gay media is not run by very nice people and it is good to see that you are a bright and shining star for many in a coal bunker called 'the gay community.' Keep going John. I admire the work you offer hugely. Simon B.

Each weekend is £110 per person ( £90 if on benefits ) and includes 2 nights lovely BB&EM and all the hot and cold refreshments you can guzzle - plenty of space to relax, chill out, and explore Hamilton Hall - as well as the programme we have planned for each weekend. We can pick you up at the coach / train station and all you need to pay for is your trip down to Bournemouth. Bring anything you wish to share - music - DVD's - books etc. or even just yourself. These weekends are not spent naked unless you wish to be naked - the choice is yours - some do - some don't.

Terrence
Higgins Trust ignored our offers of free vacations for HIV+
men worth £1,200
Is this the sort of service you guys have
to put up with ?
We
contacted the THT three times over a 3 week period and offered some free week long
vacations for guys with HIV who they felt needed a free week away with
meals etc. Four different week long periods between
February - September 2010 were offered, and we
heard nothing in answer. A brief e mail stating
that they were passing my request onto the right department
would have helped, but there was nothing.
Is this usual
for an organization such as the THT ? Seems rather rude,
unprofessional and unhelpful towards the very people they
are suppose to be helping.
Is this the
kind of service that you guys have experienced through the
THT - Has it always been this bad ? Am I just unlucky
or is some staff member just not doing their job and needs
the sack ?
Hi John
Have just been looking at your website again, and I am so pleased to see you are putting on so many positive weekends ! I'm going to try and attend the ones I can, I enjoyed the first one so much :)
I wanted to drop you a line about THT following your comments. I can't say as I am surprised at all, they are a large sprawling organisation who treat their clients as nothing more than numbers, they are run very much as a business rather than a caring charity like most of the smaller regional ones that I've had experience of. You might want to contact some of the smaller charities or the National AIDS Trust who might point you in the right direction (www.nat.org.uk)
You obviously do have a heart of gold, such a rarity these days !
Take care - Martin
Thanks Martin. The THT did eventually get back to me but only after I sent 3 e mails and the third complaining about being ignored. I was told that my e mail was being transferred within THT to someone else and when I did hear, I was told that my offer would be given to service users to decide if they wanted to contact me, or not, and this was also not quite what I was expecting... It seems that THT wanted very little to do with it so I withdrew my offer and eventually received an apology from a women who stated it was her responsibility. Too late for the THT. If this is the kind of service offered, then I cannot - will not - work with them again. I am appalled.

I met Claire and Stuart who own and run Roxbro House
while filming a Channel 4 programme and we had a great laugh. Her venue is
superb and well worth a visit. VERY gay friendly, they like a drink
and a laugh and are great fun and their home is really comfortable, 5 star
accommodation and all the finishing touches have all been well thought out
and implemented for your comfort and joy. Beautiful location of peace
and calm, with wide open spaces, miles of glorious coastline close by and
time to recharge the batteries, relax and spoil yourself in the wonderful
surroundings that make up Roxbro House.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Your website is wicked; at times very funny/ seriously thought provoking and definitely provocative. You come across as a very genuine, strong and humourous character. I love the ethos. Looking forward to meeting you. Keith

I

it

Sunday Evening Tea Dance
If you come and stay for our 3 night weekend ( pay for Friday and Saturday nights and get Sunday night free in the winter months - non workshop ) we will take you FREE OF CHARGE to the local night club called 2930 for an afternoon TEA DANCE and you will find yourself singing along, tapping your foot and cheering. We went today and it was great fun. So come on down to Bournemouth for a weekend, enjoy a free night with B&B at Hamilton Hall and enjoy an early evening out ( 4-7pm ) with us from HH and enjoy a good evening out.
WE ARE ON A TV REALITY PROGRAMME
We were asked - some time ago - if we'd be interested in being on a reality TV programme about B&B's and naturally I said yes. This wonderful women came from London to interview us on camera and returned to show us to the team along with scores of others to see what the team thought of us and whether we were good enough to go forward - and many were not put through, but we were, and it all looked to be going ahead and it was thrilling. Dates were set and the Director came down with a proper camera this time to do all the interviews that would be edited into the programme prior to the programme actually being made and I thought we were going to be put up against other gay venues - but they told me that their researcher could not find another venue to compare with ours or any owners with personality big enough for TV - so we were working with straight venues, which is a compliment to us. A HUGE compliment to us. The two different teams working on the programme both wanted to 'do us' as they knew we would make it fun and the team we did have were absolutely great, kind, thoughtful, considerate, hard working and respectful... and a really good laugh.
Making the programme was also great fun and I was flown 'up north' for a couple of days filming of one section of the programme and I drove to another location for a couple of nights, and it was an amazing experience.
The programme will be on sometime in the spring and I know I shall be cringing with embarrassment when it comes on... lol... and am excited to see it. I cannot tell you what it is about or anything as I am under contract... but believe me... I shall certainly be sending out e mails telling everyone it is on... ha ha ... cringe cringe... and we shall then be the most exposed and seen gay mens venue in the UK... what with last May 2009 being on the BBC / SKY/ CNN/ BBC America and Australian TV News when we hosted Dr. Death here and Ham Hall was mentioned in all the news programmes at the time... and now this... What other gay mens hotel has ever had such exposure on national TV ?
So our new web site is coming along and should be ready soon. With a new Diary of Events being printed and more work being undertaken here to finish the redecoration programme, we are all set for a grand new start in a grand new decade.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US
Next March 30th 2010 - I have been here at Hamilton Hall for ten years - yes 10 years - and in that time thousands of people have been through our doors for B&B - workshops, seminars, book sales, musical evenings, parties, Christmas and New Years, and many relationships were born here - where lovers met here for the first time and are still together - many bisexual men managed to 'come out' here and find themselves within a gay group who offered support and understanding and they were able to 'come out' at home and find a new life - Many lives have been changed and many journeys made easier and in all of that time, love, caring and laughter has been the way forward and I am thrilled to have been able to bring the likes of Hamilton Hall to a community that sometimes needs some soul and to offer a sanctuary for those who wish to visit a safe haven away from the world.
You see - there really is nowhere else quite like Hamilton Hall and for the vast majority who 'get the point' - Ham Hall can be a life changing experience or at least - a breath of fresh air in a somewhat difficult world .
Our web site has been viewed millions and millions of times. Our workshops have proven to be hugely in demand ( prior to this credit crunch ) and
-
Nowhere else in Europe offers gay men as much variety in events as we do. NOWHERE.
-
There are very few exclusively gay mens hotels left in the UK these days and we are the only one in Bournemouth.
-
No other gay mens hotel has made it onto main stream TV.
-
Of all the various groups offering Tantric Sexuality workshops, no one else is as proficient or has hosted as many workshops over the years as we  have done and we are - certainly the most experienced.
-
Whether it be a weekend for single guys - older men - bears or cross dressers;- Hamilton Hall has welcomed everyone from all walks of life and from all backgrounds - equally - and I love it.
-
It has been stressful and I have cried and I have fought with some in the media and it has seemed like a battle at times to keep going, to keep the passion and to stay focused. Red tape from the council and utility companies whose bills rise 48% in the last year alone and what with health & safety / PAT tests - Hard Wiring Tests, Fire certificates and yearly checks and a multitude of legal things to do daily, and running this web site and finding time for a private life ( what private life ?) and a boyfriend - ( what boyfriend ?) has all been maddening - absolutely maddening - and the fantasy that I sit around all day, naked, having sex all the time with everyone that walks through the door and that I have staff doing it all for me and I am just the prima donna swanning about demanding attention and lapping it all up... is just that - a fantasy - and the reality is that it is long hard working days, 12 - 18 hours a day - 7 days a week with no private time - no escape - and this is little understood or appreciated by many who simply have no idea what is involved.
-
-
I get heart felt and deeply moving e mails and letters from those whose lives we have touched and helped - for no reward other than trying to do the right thing - to offer support and understanding in a non judgmental manner - and I have made many superb and wonderful friends who truly care and show concern.
-
My life has moved in ways I cannot even have dreamed it would and I am so thankful for this journey here at Hamilton Hall, this building that I love and care for so much - and I am thankful for every person who has been here and shared of themselves with us. I am thankful for the last ten years and wonder - how many more will I be here ? Time will tell.
-
-
I also thank with a VERY big hug of love, my friend of more than 20 years who is from Oxford and who has helped us financially over the years with buying the massage tables (£900) - various expensive repairs to my car ( new engine - £1,300) and even my root canal work (£1,400) as well as coming to my rescue several times when we have really been 'up against the wall financially' - with many very kind and generous gifts of financial support. Originally a client of mine from my escort days who grew to be a good and dear friend, I don't think we would have survived some of the pitfalls that we faced if he had not been there at the right time, with his soft and gentle, kind and understanding words ( and cheque book ( giggle ) - and I thank him from the bottom of my heart.
-
( Oh and by the way - we need a new boiler soon... hint hint... ha ha )

My Mother:
BETTY.Like a lot of you out there, I have a Mother who is now 87 and has just moved from her warden assisted flat to a nursing care home as her mental and physical health mean she is not able to look after herself any longer, and at the moment she is in hospital, and when I saw her today it made my heart weep. Her bladder infection has led to her dementia getting much worse and while she is on the antibiotics she is somewhere else completely. When she comes to be well enough to leave the hospital, her condition has now deteriorated so fast that the care home is now not suitable so she is moving into a nursing home, and this will be her last move.
She was in bed and very distressed - staring out of unseeing eyes that do not seem to focus, grabbing with her hands at anything and everything close - ie: the bars at the side of the hospital bed had been put up to keep her in bed as she kept sliding out and staggering up the ward - and it is quite a distressing site for many to witness - and she is chattering away - with words that do not follow any cohesive sense and while she knew my name and - kind of - that I was her son - all sorts of other family members names came into it and I don't really think she knew me, and this was a first. Her confused state of mental health was awful to witness.
My Mother - a bright, intelligent fashion model who was one of London's top models in the 1940's and 1950's and who also sang with many famous dance bands for she had a superb voice - and who raised 3 children, is now reduced to this.
A tall proud women with a voice and an opinion of her own and no fear of speaking her mind,- a woman who was married 3 times during her life and who put up with a lot,- a woman who has lived alone for over 20 years since my Step Father died and who lost her only daughter ( my sister ) and her baby ( my niece ) 18 years ago when both died a few months apart ,- a women who has always been accepting of my gay lifestyle and who loved my friends and boyfriends even if not being as accepting of my brothers wife - always being a dreadful mother-in-law and a women who all those 'mother-in-law jokes' must have been written about,- and a woman who has been stubborn, difficult and sometimes a women who would make the angels cry because GOD she could NEVER admit fault and take responsibility and simply apologize and a woman who has caused much family turmoil because of her refusal - point blank refusal - to ever accept that she was ever wrong about anything - and a woman who admitted to me some years ago that she had never been in love - never really knew what love was and that - despite being married 3 times and raising a family, had never really understood what that mysterious word 'love' - had meant - and while in her way she has loved and has been loved, she never really comprehended what it meant, and for that, I feel desperately sorry.
Sorry that she never understood how we - her children - felt about her and sorry that she always felt the need to - somehow - try and manipulate the situation to suit herself all the time. Sad that she never realised we would do whatever she wanted because we loved her and not because she was being manipulative. Sad that she always thought every situation was about her and sad that she felt such jealously and resentment towards anyone who 'stole her limelight' - even her own grandchildren. Sad that she resented her son being a sensational husband and father to his children and sad that she felt such resentment towards those who had something she felt she had lost out on, when the truth was - she hadn't - for she was loved - she was very cared for - and while she never understood this and while she felt alone and unloved, other people were hurt and betrayed by her time and time again because she simply didn't get it. She never really understood,- and that saddens me.
Poor Betty - my poor Mother, and as much as we have told her over the years and as much as we have openly shown our affection and considered her in our lives - she still never got it - never realised and never allowed herself to be part of the family - preferring to isolate herself and say that she wasn't wanted all the time when the exact opposite was the truth, and we just got fed up with it.
Now to see her this way, saddens me. For whatever it was she lost - and whatever it was she lacked - and for all her mistakes and all her selfish ways, she is my Mother, I love her dearly, and no-one - NO -ONE - should be put through this kind of thing at the end of their lives and the cruelty metered out by a government and health authority SO AGAINST EUTHANASIA beggars belief. My Mother would not have wanted this, and with a society where 80% of people asked agree that euthanasia is the best thing in some situations such as this, I pray she will not suffer longer than necessary and where she can be with my sister, her family and Jesus - in peace - soon.
I love her too much to allow anything else to happen to her.

Dear John. What an amazing Christmas. So glad I chose to join you. Superb food, company and the games, - what a laugh - I still break out in smiles when I remember. Best one for a very long time. Thanks. John.

a bombing on September 16, 1920 in the financial district of New York City killed 38 and seriously injured 143. The primary victims were employees of J.P. Morgan Bank, adding to the fears of the firms head, Jack Morgan, son of the legendary J.P. Morgan. The crime was never solved, though most suspicions surrounded the Italian anarchists prominent during that era:
"In 1920, just a few seconds after the Trinity Church bell tolled noon on a pleasant Thursday in September, a massive shrapnel bomb shook the corner of Wall and Broad Streets in New York. The blast set fire to awnings twelve stories above, sprayed hundreds of slugs into the facade of the Morgan building, and killed thirty employees instantly. The cloud of greenish smoke that rose from the explosion darkened the area for several minutes. When the dust cleared, George Whitney, one of the six Morgan partners, walked outside and found that a fragment of window sash weight had pinned a woman's head and hat against the bank's scarred north facade. He reported, 'I'll always remember that. It hit her so hard that it just took her head off and it stuck right on the wall.'
"At the Stock Exchange, sixty paces around the corner, brokers rushed to the center of the trading floor to avoid falling glass, and trading was suspended within one minute, as William H. Remick, president of the Exchange, mounted the rostrum and rang the gong. Trading on the Curb Market also halted immediately; the downtown area became a mob scene. The boys with the telephones attached to their heads weren't just swinging down from windows - now they were jumping. Brokers scattered, and federal troops rushed from Governors Island to Wall Street.
"When the bomb hit, Jack Morgan was away vacationing at his Scottish shooting lodge. Jack already had been paranoid, even before this attack on his bank's headquarters. Just before the war, a mysterious German man had attempted to assassinate him, and he had almost succeeded. Although Jack had recovered from the gunshot wounds, he still suffered from the emotional blow. He was obsessed with his personal safety and gripped by fear that he had become a terrorist target. He had hired a group of former Marines as bodyguards, and scampered into hiding whenever he heard reports of an escape from a prison or mental asylum.
"Now, after the shrapnel bomb, Jack descended into full-blown panic. When justice Department authorities investigated the blast and pursued dozens of suspects, but could not pin the crime on anyone, Jack concluded that he must have been the target. If he hadn't been off hunting in Scotland, he would have been killed. Who was after him? Would they ever stop?
"He posted thirty private detectives to watch his brownstone on Madison Avenue. He also began to view competition from other banks as more than merely business rivalry. He spun elaborate conspiracy theories involving the Bolsheviks and German-Jewish financiers. Jack and his friends were on one side of Wall Street; on the other side were the enemy bankers - Kuhn Loeb, Lehman, and Goldman Sachs - many of whom were Jewish. Jack Morgan neither trusted nor liked Jews. When Harvard president A. Lawrence Lowell sought to fill a board vacancy, Jack, who was an overseer of Harvard and a devoted alumnus, warned that 'the nominee should by no means be a Jew ... the Jew is always a Jew first and an American second.'
"Unlike Jack, investors ultimately shrugged off the bomb. The new Federal Reserve Bank reduced interest rates and added money to the financial system after the attack. The new Treasury Secretary, Andrew Mellon, brought confidence with a proposal for lower taxes. Investors came to see that neither war nor terrorists could defeat American optimism."

Two priests are in a Vatican bathroom using the urinals. One of them looks at the other one's penis and notices there's a Nicoderm patch on it. He looks at the other priest and says, 'I believe you're supposed to put that patch on your arm or shoulder, not your penis.'
The other one replies, 'It's working just fine. I'm down to two butts a day.' |

Dear John.
Big Thanks.
I did just as your web site stated and came along - depressed and alone and needy, and you recognized something in me. My Room 3 was superb and you also took me to your own lovely 'studio apartment' at the top of Ham Hall and we chatted and watched a funny movie which cheered me up and then chatted some more and by the end of my 4 days, I felt re born. I think you could tell how much I was getting out of it all and I really was not expecting such an intimate and friendly approach and how you give so much of your own personal time and consideration in healing people like me. I am totally blown away by your generosity and compassion and if only others knew the dedication and passion you work with, I think the gay world would be in awe of you. I was so in need John. My life was really shit and I was really down and desperate for help and not knowing where to go, I felt drawn from reading your web site and I am just so glad that I did. I cannot even begin to tell you how changed I am. Your staff member was also brilliant as he was instantly friendly and so very amusing, the way you two bantered between you was wonderful. And Missy, what can I say, she was the talking point at breakfast every day. I shall be back soon.
Ali. ( London )
