July 30, 201016 yr GEEEEZZZZ!!!! NO WORDS!!!!!!!! -------- ..and yes Humphrey the stinky-wheels forum. Hmm..maybe there should be a something for the ecologically pedal pushy bikers. Edit: just found out the bicyclist hang out in the sports forum Humph. Thanks, I might pop in there. But being in VN now, rather than Thailand, I'm looking for fellow cyclists around Saigon. Some guys I see with all the kit on, but I'm now more of a tourist than coureur, so I stay with my running/walking with the local Hash. So you like leather .... Hmmm ....
July 30, 201016 yr Could we not just have a great big dinner with everyone there? I'm finding it hard to choose just ten people. Of course, in my list will be all the ladies, and Tiggs and Neverdie and Harcourt and and and.... On an off topic thing - Tiggs will have to enclose himself in a room for several months to catch up on what has been going on here.
July 30, 201016 yr I will invite everybody who hates me............ ( I'll have to hire a circus tent )
July 30, 201016 yr I will invite everybody who hates me............ ( I'll have to hire a circus tent ) That counts me out. Never mind. I can face rejection.
July 30, 201016 yr I'd invite all the ladies of thaivisa, we would eat mashmallows, drink cocktails, wear silk teddies & lacy negligees, have a pillow fight, practice kissing with each other & do each others hair. I'm told (by a male friend) that this is what women do when they are alone together

I'm told (by a male friend) that this is what women do when they are alone together Think yourself lucky, dear! We're expected to primp our hair, file our nails and fiddle with any passing straight who can't tell the difference after 8 pints

July 31, 201016 yr I will invite everybody who hates me............ ( I'll have to hire a circus tent ) That counts me out. Never mind. I can face rejection. That's a kind thought mate. However, I just asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday. She replied she would like one of those portable ticket dispensing machines you see in banks. That way when we're out and someone says they want to kick my head in, she can appear and give them a number, to save time and trouble with the queue.
July 31, 201016 yr I'm on a cyber hunger strike as my friend Herr Naam has been effectively banned. What idiots some people be. Really? Tell me it aint so.
July 31, 201016 yr Some choose to walk the line, some choose to cross it. Whatever is your preferred Vintage or Rough Cider, it is exactly that, a choice. It reminds me of the man who fell from a seven storey building and remarked of his journey half way through, So far so good. And so So far so good Moss Edited July 31, 201016 yr by Mossfinn
August 1, 201016 yr Mossfinn, Scouser, Totster... ooh wait. had dinner with them already. And had a fab time--cheers gentlemen, because that is what you truly are.
August 2, 201016 yr My list would consist of the following peoples in no particulate order: Bendix, Robblock, Jingthing, Tod-Daniels, Boo, Webfact, StevieW, IanForbes, Naam, SBK,
August 2, 201016 yr Personally I would approach it from the other side - work out the me-n-u first, then try to fit the guests to the food. Lets start with a few cold dishes - salads (salade nicoise is my usual), cold soups (gazpacho / ashe mast / mast-e-khiar), probably a lamb entree, fruit and cheese to follow (don't like puddings much) Tghe wines would have to be chosen by someone else, I'm no connysewer (in fact I'll just have some sparkly water, I expect, or salt lassi). Then see who steps up for the nosh - could do a veggie entree if there's any veggitenarians around, but sorry, vegans not catered for.
August 3, 201015 yr A third dinner party, where I cooked with a particular panache and personal touch, and a very special choice of wine and chocolate would include Mig and Eek, and nobody else. (In my dreams!) thankyou Harcourt but remember - MiG is easy.....where theres food, theres MiG. and you have added chocolates!! so why would I refuse!!
August 3, 201015 yr Ping has just posted! I forgot him....he's another I would find 8 other guests to form a party around. I mean include, not form the party around. Edited August 3, 201015 yr by Harcourt
August 4, 201015 yr I'd invite Jingthing, Animatic, and Jayboy - seat them at the same table, and then sell tickets.
August 4, 201015 yr Ping has just posted! I forgot him....he's another I would find 8 other guests to form a party around. I mean include, not form the party around. Harky, Ping has a lovely partner
August 4, 201015 yr StevieW, Don't you mean StevieH james? No I mean his brother the Everton Supporter mate.
August 4, 201015 yr Ping has just posted! I forgot him....he's another I would find 8 other guests to form a party around. I mean include, not form the party around. Harky, Ping has a lovely partner Ok. Ping, his lovely partner, and her sister........with 6 other guests, then
August 4, 201015 yr Nice Swiss menu. cold meat platter with regional dried meats and salamis, fresh green salad and pickles Cheese Fondue (with optional kirsch to dip your bread in) Chocolate Fondue Coffee and liqeurs (also regional) Good white wine or red if so inclined (no beer, makes you ill)or tea for the non drinkers. Funny, even during the heatwave a couple of weeks ago, a friend and I had a craving for a fondue. The others, not so much. So we ended up going to a Thai restaurant. Where I made the mistake of trying out all the condiments in the little glass jars and almost ruined my meal. Forgotten the spicyness!!
August 5, 201015 yr I love threads like this, I never get mentioned, am I that difficult to pigeon hole?
August 5, 201015 yr I love threads like this, I never get mentioned, am I that difficult to pigeon hole? Everyone can see the size of fork you'd bring. Won't leave much for anyone else, will it? And the heat on the meat will overcook it - not what I look forward to. (Although we may both wind up down there, so I s'pose I'd better get used to it.)
August 5, 201015 yr Ken, Donna, Kerrie, Gerd (I would try to talk him into cooking for the party ). I have personally met all the above, most more than once, and have found them to be lovely, intelligent people with no baggage or special agendas. Other people I would include, because I have appreciated their style of humour and well informed opinions over a long period, are Scea, Ping and Boj. And for light relief with his repertoire of sometimes painful jokes, Pete. If I could just keep him away from his favorite subject - Australia. Two others, people I haven't always seen eye to eye with in the forums, but whose intelligence and dry humour I can appreciate, are Suiging and Moss. Lastly, I would personally leave the shindig very early because I hate such functions, would only get very pissed, and my boring, sarcastic sense of humour would annoy everyone else there.
August 5, 201015 yr Lastly, I would only get very pissed, and my boring, sarcastic sense of humour would annoy everyone else there. Surely that is the whole purpose of attending?
August 5, 201015 yr I love threads like this, I never get mentioned, am I that difficult to pigeon hole? There's room for you at my table, Thaddy. I don't think eek would object.
