Spee Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 So Whos ALL going? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me. I'm working about an hour west of the city center. Will probably come into the city for an overnighter on Saturday and then head out to the park on Sunday. I think the Southwest line train stop is Clapham Junction, followed by a bus, taxi or walk to the park. If you and some others are planning to come in, then perhaps we could get together for a mini-TVF piss-up on Saturday. I've got an "in" with an upscale hotel chain and might be able to give you a nice hook-up on Saturday night (e.g., trade you a free night for a couple of beers). Shoot me a PM and we can chat some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Jones Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I'm guessing there's going to be some Thai women there as well as Thai food? Sounds interesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gentleman Scamp Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 The thought of a TV meet up in Blighty is an attractive one, especially for those of us who are missing our adopted home (which I'm sure I will be by then). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoophound Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Yep ...The thai songkraan and Loy Kratong food festivals here in Sydney ,also seem to bring out the furtive old sex tourists looking for a perve. I'm guessing there's going to be some Thai women there as well as Thai food?

The Gentleman Scamp Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I can't imagine many single Thai girls come to England. Than again, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Jones Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 There must be overseas Thai students studying in England who are single and wanting a taste of home? Anyway, back on subject, is the Thai food there authentic tasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spee Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Anyway, back on subject, is the Thai food there authentic tasting? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm told many of the Thai restaurants in the greater London area (75+?) will have food tents. I missed the one last year, but did go to the smaller Anglo-Thai festival at Morden just a couple of weeks prior. I found the food to be excellent authentic Thai, and not the 'dummied-down" stuff that is often seen in restaurants to suit the regular clientele.

The Gentleman Scamp Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm not going for the food. Toster owes me a beer and I want to see what Spee looks like. That said, I will stock up one the one Thai food I am missing like mad. TYG flavour packet noodles, surely there will be a mini mart thingy there where i can purchase some.

wolf5370 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) I'll be there as usual - Wifey is playing the Kim and doing some of the Thai dancing. Its always a good crack and always hot. I've been going for years. The crowds are getting bigger each year. Shall we all wear a red carnation or something then? How about a placard hanging round our necks with our TV names written on in bright red crayon? Edited June 20, 2005 by wolf5370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towards the end of the festival maybe, is there a beer garden there or anything? I'll start a fresh post on this a bit nearer the time if we have enough interest.

chonabot Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 This might be a good place for TV to do a bit of advertising, considering the clientele that will be present. T-shirts etc with website address might bring a new generation to these hallowed airwaves. IMo of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chonabot and I could sign mugs and T-Shirts. This was my 2000th post, wahey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) is there a beer garden there or anything? There's usually a beer tent (there were 2 last year) - and a Thai wine stall. However, there are a lot of poeple there - I fear just "bumping into each other" is unlikely. The carnation/placard was obviously a joke, but we may need a less-tacky way of recognising each other. Ideas? PS: Saying "I'm the fat git with fake Ray Bans and a Thai girl in tow" probably won't help too much on this occassion Edited June 21, 2005 by wolf5370 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
