you can catch swine flu just shopping, ie department stores,makets etc.

[Tawi2]

Lambton park is an open air event,your more likely to catch H1N1 from a shopping center or crowded train station like Victoria to be honest:xxgrinning--00xx3:

That is one of the famous circus in the country for 30 years, try to ask your lovey dovey about it, and yes my boss told me I can invite friends for the opening day which is on Wednesday,

[Tawi2]

The coconuts mightnt exactly be from Pinas Miss P,more likely from Sri Lanka,but its the thought that counts :)

Shame. I became a bit obcessed with coconut lately. I tried tinned coconut water -- it's more like sugar than coconut!

I'll be willing to try that. I'll give Thai coconut a miss though.

[Tawi2]

Loads of shops around Hounslow sell coconuts,mainly because of its high ethnic population,you will notice that if you walk around Hounslow,their coconuts are usually sourced from Sri Lanka:xxgrinning--00xx3:My brother in law is Thai,he has a resto in Surrey,makes incredible home made coconut iced-cream :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I spent three years in Hong Kong eating every Friday at Curry Pot in Wan Chai. When I can't go, I normally phone for home delivery and the moment I say hello, they already know it's me. I've never been to India myself, so I don't really know how a real Indian curry tastes like. I would like to believe that all the restaurants I've tried are just making the taste more commercialised. There's one in Sevenoaks that I super love though. Tastes quite similar to that of Curry Pot in HK.

Happy times indeed!

Me, Happy Valley. Stanley...I felt sick going there once. Road twisted to the max. The market is really good though -- sulit ang shopping!

[Tawi2]

Happy Valley,my friend lived in the flats overlooking the racecourse,we used to have an incredible view on race night,had another friend lived in Happy Terrace:xxgrinning--00xx3: Stanley Market was for the tourists only :icon_lol:

Happy Terrace, as in Happy View Terrace? That's where I used to be. Quite near to the race course and the football club.

[Tawi2]

That was it,happy view terrace,his wife was Thai,that was back in the mid 1990's :Erm:

[miss.piggy]

[QUOTE=Stanley Market was for the tourists only :icon_lol:[/QUOTE]

Stanley now (or when I was still there) has got a few thai cuttleries...a lot cheaper than buying them from bazaar traders. Kids clothing are also really good -- can get a few better stuff those at alleys in central.

[miss.piggy]

oh wow...that's a while back.

I was there only 4 years ago??? :D

[Tawi2]

I have visited every year since I left,still got friends living there on Lantau and Sai Kung,I like the Disney :xxgrinning--00xx3:But Ocean Park is better :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Lucky you! Last time I visited was 4 years ago (just after we left to live in Singapore) only to watch Rugby Sevens.

I like Lantau Island...too much walking though! Seafoods! Seafoods!

Is it true Mickey Mouse is speaking in Chinese accent? :laugher:

[Tawi2]

I am a little too old to chat to Mickey,chinese accent or not,but the space mounatin was great :xxgrinning--00xx3: If you get the chance visit again :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[miss.piggy]

Back on topic.......................


A warning re parking. Be wary of the multi storey serving the Council HQ next to the park. I guess during the week it is for employees only but previously the council subbed it out to private enterprise and it cost ££££'s

[Tawi2]

WOW,read the advert "Free entrance":icon_lol: thats generous of them,free to enter a british park the upkeep of which is paid for with our taxes :icon_lol: I asked someone about the independence day celebrations at Lambton Park last month?The people who organised that event didnt actually try to charge an entrance,they were simply asking for "Donation" to enter :icon_lol: Anyone going?

Another glance out from the Turret facing Hounslow as I shade my eyes due to the very bright blue sky. I have to write its the first time its been so good in a good few days unless I was in the office or blinked and missed it:D

Looks like most of the Missus, special Pinoy foods fund will be used today. Better clear out the fridge later:D

[Tawi2]

[Tawi2]

Appreciate the singing?I had my I-pod on and was trying to lipsync their facial and mouth movements with a phil collins song I had on,it was like one of those badly dubbed martial arts movies :icon_lol:Did my ears deceive me or were those kids rapping about ukay-ukay :Erm:Talking of which,someone had a stall selling I love london T-shirts :icon_lol:

I felt I didn't have enough time Tawi, I still wanted to hang around a bit more. The best part though was bumping on to the members of the forum. We kind of agreed Keith should really make badges and sell them to us so we can get to wear them for this kind of occasions, it's easier to spot each other. You reckon:rolleyes:?

[Tawi2]

How did you actually spot anyone??It was just a sea of faces :Erm: saying that to be honest the only people I deliberately sought out were bayots :icon_lol: I was trying to get Fated fixed up before his arrival :icon_lol:

I spotted Dom first and then I saw Jet and I came to him and asked him if he was Dom from the forum by any chance and then each of us introduced ourselves and we all started chatting. :BouncyHappy:

Do you really like bayots hehe?

[Tawi2]

Bayots are ok,I couldnt eat a whole one though,Fated was a bit depressed,he has been dumped and his boyfriends found another :NoNo:so I said I would look around for him :icon_lol: I met a few,all were single and looking so he will be happy I guess :)

:D I didn't know that you are also a matchmaker apart from being a secret agent?

Hey, by the way, we went to the firefighter's tent and we inquired about the process of being in-listed. I was pretty much interested but they told me I have to wait until I become a full-pledge Brit.

[Tawi2]

Oh,the fire-brigade?You better get yourself some tattoo's then,they all had them :icon_lol: I got those pics of Dulay on a USB stick,but I got 12 different sticks :Erm: I will be back at the fiesta in the morning,my friend keiths coming down with his wife,havent seen him in ages :)

[alicat]

Shame we missed you:Rasp: The food was great, the singing was horrible, but my gang was great company and on top of that we met Dom and Jet and the rest of the lovely Filipina ladies (Mavid, Judith and Mr. and Mrs. :doh sorry forgot their names but they were a lovely couple). :BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy::BouncyHappy:

Weather was nice, fantastic experience!

:Hellooo::Hellooo:nice to meet you.

[gracia143]

:Hellooo::Hellooo:nice to meet you.

Hi Miss Alicat nice to meet you too, sorry forgot the real name. Forgive me as I am sometimes terrible with names. You were stunning by the way:D

And yes Tawi would love to be part of the Fire Brigade if am not too old for this kind of work. Growing up I've always wanted to be a PMA grad but that didn't happen.

It's cool to have these guys stationed in Hounslow though, this is one of the things I like about being in the UK.

Shame I'm working tomorrow, I would have love to go back there for some more food...maybe next time i'll get to see pics of Dulay.

[somebody]

I only went in for an hour,my friends not going till tommorrow so I will go back and see him in the morning,weather is nice,dry,MANY people :cwm24:Lots of food,BBQ,pancit,whatever you want :xxgrinning--00xx3:The BBQ guy even let me turn some of his BBQ and I ended up with watery eyes and stinking of smoke :icon_lol:(gough...cough...cough):Erm:


The missus and her friends went to that Ice cream Stall I think they are ashford, nice couple selling the Ice cream when we went up with the Wife and her friends mucking about ringing the bell they had on the trolley:D

Weather was very british bright sunshine then overcast then cloudy with strongish gusts of wind.

I have to say it was heaving with people and the stalls were much thinner on the ground this time, but it seemed either every phill went today or stayed a little longer about 4.30ish as we look from the fun fair down to the stage it was heaving. Some of the food stalls food queues were miles long and noticed some regular stalls were not there.

Funny to see the police lazing around with little to do very little litter, people smiling when you bumped into them.

Even those chav kids were quite friendly if you smiled and had a laugh with them:xxgrinning--00xx3:

The funfair was a tad sureal it kept playing early 90's drum n bass with people carrying round huge soft toys. Expensive but very friendly with young and old smiling. Plenty of non phills in a happy mood in the funfair.
Most the police did in that section was join in the laughter as people on the ride spining people round at them upside down.

One of the best bits for me was the this young white kid with his asian mate fighting on the martial art stall. The white Kid was taking a battering from the asian boy. When the instructor shouted out it might help if you open your eyes the whole crowd was laughing their heads off:D


If you had a house fire in west london today dont expect a fire engine to turn up as im sure i counted 5 fire engines/vehicles dotted around the park:omg: i guess it was all those bbqs:D

As well as Phill mates with my wife both oursleves and others had non phills come down everyone enjoyed the foods and fun. All the non phills said they would go next year some even said they were going back tomorrow with other friends:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Tawi2]

I had a chat with the old guy on the ice-cream stall,nice couple,and your right,I think the Ashford pinoy ice-cream place is round by the train station :Erm: It was one of those feel-good days,I walked down Hounslow high-street and even the muggers were friendly :icon_lol:

They supply the Wifes local Phill shop with Ice cream we have avocado flavour and possibly ube flavour in the freezer, intresting to note that the west indian friends loved them so much they wanted seconds maybe they will have a second branch in brixton soon:D

[somebody]

:yikes: I was thinking of popping by the Manchester Fiesta in September, but we seem to have more chavs than London:censored:

So... maybe:Erm:

Seriously you would have laughed they are like a pinoy disney chav totally harmless and sneaking about not because of their Police or marshalls but more like they worried they see a Tita, or one of their Mums friends:D

[LadyJ]

Just got back from Hounslow, £10 parking fee:NoNo: had no choice but to go and pay it.:cwm3:

Also I think I saw DOM! were you wearing white polo shirt and jeans?:Erm:

[Tawi2]

Thats true,they are sort of scaredy-cat pinoy-chavs,they have their jeans half-way down their bum,their flashy baseball caps,their gangster limp,but they are scared of being spotted by their mums or their aunties :icon_lol: I saw a load of them today outside the train station,the guys were bigging it up at one side,and their "women" formed a little group at the other:icon_lol: They werent giving anyone menacing glances,just nervously looking around :icon_lol:

Ladyyyyy, how comes I didn't see you? Were you still wearing that same hairdo?:D Would have been great if we bumped onto each other too.

[Tawi2]

Did you enjoy yourself though MrsJ?:)

[somebody]

Some of the songs the MC sung was horrible Tawi it hurt my ears as we were really close to the stage. But good that you appreciated the singing, that's very kind of you.:xxgrinning--00xx3:
As we walked in around 1 ish there was a young lady singing who was umm spirited but i did hear one young girl a little later sing who seemed to be quite good. I think she was in a band with some mc types who kind of sounded like black eye peas. But not taking to much notice as was busy munching ice cream:D

The mcing was ummmm, but have to be honest we rarely take any notice of the stage and wish they would turn it down a tad as hearing some nu yorker rabbiting about no war blah blah is not my idea of entertainment. Sadly instead of singing surely some more comedy would go down well better:Erm: More fun for the family than some young kids singing trying to sound street tuff.

[LadyJ]

Ladyyyyy, how comes I didn't see you? Were you still wearing that same hairdo?:D Would have been great if we bumped onto each other too.

:icon_lol:Oh I've disguised myself 'cos I might scared people off:icon_lol:

I enjoyed watching each passing huge birds on the sky, :Erm: My son loves them !!:icon_lol:

[Tawi2]

That was the funny thing LadyJ,you can tell people who havent been to Hounslow or live around the airport,they always crane their necks and stare upwards when a plane goes over :icon_lol:

You did get a good view of the planes as they dumped fuel all over us, but at least it kept the BBQ's going:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Was good fun sorry lady J I only got roped in early this morning as yesterday when it looked like it was going to run th eWife and her friends had planned to do a hit and run and just buy lots of foods and take away.

Did you see Ding dong:Erm:

There were a lot strolling about, many looking overdressed for a day walking round the park:D

[Tawi2]

These country folk:D

Yup,they stick out like a sore thumb,I actually saw a few pinays getting excited in Housnlow High Street when one plane looked as if it would knock a roof off :icon_lol: Probably just a pilot with a sense of humour playing "Chicken" :icon_lol:

[bornatbirth]

walking around a park meeting single men? :Erm:

do you work in politics tawi? :action-smiley-081: :D

Hounslow not very Kano most likely why you all go ripped off. Everyone seemed to pay ten pounds.

May have to open up the somebody towers carpark and bus you lot in for free:D

Of course it was a brillant day you were in west landan:D just up the road from where your Team used to train and in the opposite direction about the similar distance where the reserves used to play.

Did you get a picture of a yellow man eating doughnuts:Erm:

[Bluebirdjones]

Dom & Jet,

Nice to meet you, if only for a few minutes.


...as per the Fiesta,
good turn-out of people & all seemed to be having a good time.
The food stalls seemed reasonable value, and many were "mobbed".

.. the music ? .... overall, "pony".
What was that, I'm here all the way from L.A .... that's Los Angeles" nonsence ?
Thankfully the sound quality was pretty abysmal, so didn't have to
endure too much of it.

Would have been better with "real" singing, and "sing-along" DJ tunes.

indeed having all the young phill bands on I guess is good to give them a head start but maybe they could do on a friday night like they had a few years back where a big boyband (forgotten the name came over and played) performed. So all da Phill chave kids can get down, and then maybe have a mass videoke so we can laugh at them all and hear the odd gem:D

It was funny how the performers kept banging on where they are from (ie USA, new york, la) and how different the UK is then thinking hang on better say hands up if your pinoy


With the foods stalls We noticed a bit of a price war going on in the afternoon as in the morning some were quite expensive compared to others.

Sadly people didn't seem to bother checking and went back to the ones which were cheapest in the morning. Hence the big queues on some stalls Luckily some of our group went to one stall which was quite expensive earlier and called over the rest:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Did anyone buy anything from the perfume stall?

Funny when one of the guys on the stall around midday was thinking how will we get trade as all the phills more intrested in the food stalls and pinics. He then started shouting free pens and throwing them to passer bys, then i hear him say no just one pen not two as he dissapeared behind a mass of phills:icon_lol:

I saw similar stalls in the past, at all the County Shows, and again, although I did get on alright with the owner, I couldn't help feeling that it was a blatant scam from start to finish.:NoNo:

I am sorry to have missed you, and next time I will keep my eyes more open and look specifically for "somebody" resembling Homer Simpson.....:rolleyes:

I love to buy sale perfumes as presence.:xxgrinning--00xx3: But I used to buy signature ones.

One time, I spotted a man selling perfumes. Six perfumes for the cost of only 20£ and the former price was 200£. I was so confused to buy and stayed infront of him for a while until I felt dizzy with the smell and I dissapeared:D

[Tawi2]

The smell of the perfume made people dissapear :Erm: I have had that sort of after-shave with past girlfriends :icon_lol:

There was 2 pinoy kids M-cee'ing up on stage,they were good :icon_lol: There was a gang of about 8 or 9 pinoy 13 year old "Chavs" outside Hounslow train station with their womenfolk(aged about 12:icon_lol:)and just outside the park I saw some pinoy teenagers putting cans of lager into their backpack in case they were searched,when in rome :icon_lol: its good to see they are integrating and taking on the customs of their adopted country :icon_lol:

The Pinoy Chav kids make me laugh they seem to Mimic Black Gangsta kids from the South Side of LA or Camberwell. de Rigueur dress code appears to be ridiculously baggy clothes, oversized baseball caps worn the wrong way round and large amounts of Argos "jewellery". English is spoken with a Jamaican accent.

I hope they don't take the aping of South London vermin too far and get involved in gangs, knives, drugs etc :angry:

[Tawi2]

Their mums wont let them have shabu or knives,but why their obssession with LA and the Bloods'N'Crips?Whats wrong with their own identities :Erm: I saw some with Gangsta gaits,I think they put tissue paper into one of their trainers to give them that lop-sided "Limp" its cool :icon_lol:

Just to let you know we took a few pictures of the public attending the Hounslow Barrio Fiesta on Sunday 19th July 2009. You may be in the pictures or know someone in them so take a look here:-

The filipino community is a great place to capture some of the bigest and most wonderful smiles in my opinion :-) Thanks for making our photography so enjoyable!

ENJOY the pics :-)

I thought there were a lot less stalls than at previous fiestas one notable absentee was Western Union who are always good for T Shirts, Caps and Bags.

I was disappointed to see the organisers had lowered themselves to renting space to cowboys using dodgy selling techniques to flog cheap perfume to the unwary (in corner of site near walk through to fairground).
