THERE IS NO EXCUSE.

I had signed up and attended a TF event which had been announced for tonight:

"And don't forget Tengo hambre, tengo sed! on SATURDAY (Neung take note!!) 29th September, taking place at what is now Bangkok's 5th best international restaurant (kudos to Dave here - considering the reviews CB used to get a few years ago, this really shows the work he (and his staff) have put in).

There will be free beer and margaritas (limited supply come early) and some nibbles too (NIBBLES NOT NIPPLES ROB!!)."

Tonight, around 7:00pm at home i have checked the TF forums, the event page on TF and on facebook, to see who else is coming and if there are any else news.

Then i took a taxi and arrived around 8:30pm at Charly Browns Mexican restaurant at Sukhumvit 11. Surprisingly, i was the only attendee and Dave, the owner of Charly Browns told me that the event has been canceled / eg the event's host is not coming. WOW, what a surprise !!!

Well, as i was there at Dave's nice Mexican restaurant already (not to mention, the fifth best restaurant in Bangkok!), i had a few beers and some food by myself, sitting there alone and lonely.

Around 9:30-10:00pm some other TFer arrived (Tonia, Chatty, Ciaran, Querida, Steve, some other girls, at the end lets say we were around 15 people in total).

Finally we had a real good time all together and the 'party' was a real good fun. And at the end i have asked for the bill and paid my food and my drinks by myself.

The guy who has announced this event and did not turn up by himself, not canceled the event and not called me or either send an sms (he has got my mobile phone number) should simply **** OFF AND GO TO HELL. :evil:

Not to mention that this was his second 'welcome party' where he didnt turn up or even left a message.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE AT ALL. NOT ANY. :rolleyes:

The point you guys are missing is - when i had arrived there at 8:30pm the party was canceled and there wasnt anything.

BUT because of i have been there already and i know Dave from previous TF events, i stayed at his nice Mexican restaurant and enjoyed a dinner and a few beers on my own expenses.

Then the party was on at 10:00pm because you guys popped up and there was NO WAY OUT anymore.

Either way, Dave (English_Bob) did a great job and 'rescued' the event and took care of us. Thanks again, Dave.

Finally, I went there to meet the 'party organizer', not to get a free beer.

If i am in need of a free beer i'll buy 2 towers and then i'll call Ciaran ;)

Just to clarify a few points...

1) I didn't say the event was cancelled, I said Iain couldn't come and would pay for some drinks.

2) Iain has a bill here for some beers and three pitchers of Margaritas (he said two, but I punished him by adding an extra one).

3) I put out a case of San Miguel Light beers which were free.

4) I put out ten plates of food, which were also free.

5) I was also disappointed not to meet Iain, but **** happens and I saw some other cool people. I have no doubt I'll see the party-dodging jock another time. It's not the end of the world.

6) The reviews for CB's on TripAdvisor lately have been terrible - I think we're being targeted by a guy who went out of business a little further down the Soi (he made a habit out of writing fake reviews for his own place). If any reader ever had a good time at CB's and wants to earn Karma, feel free to write a few nice words about us.

7) The 'top five in Bangkok' was a website and someone's personal opinion, even I don't think we're the fifth best international restaurant in Bangkok and I'm biased as Hell.

Good to see those who came. But I don't think we should make too big a deal about Iain's no-show. He probably feels worse about his absence than we do.

1.) We can agree that anything which was announced by Iain did NOT happen and Iain is still, and always will be a lightweight *****.

2.) We can agree that English_Bob has done an extra mile or two for all people who had made their way to Charley Browns. LONG LIVE ENGLISH_BOB! TWO THUMBS UP.

Once again, I offer apologies...

Honestly, today was the first day in entire history i saw Iain speechless, LOL.

Dave said: 'He probably feels worse about his absence than we do.'

Yeah, i have no doubt about it at all. As Iain offered his apologies, so do i accept, any issues that may have arisen are forgiven and forgotten.

We had a very very!!! good time at Charley Browns, there was only 1 thing missing:

The reason why we all went there (Iain himself)!

...and now here's Tom with the weather...
