Britcham boss ejected after getting punchy at Pontoon
True, but if multiple witnesses were reporting something like this about me and it wasn't true I would probably be showing exit and entry stamps and doing what I could to clear my name.

I think being "banned" is not really the issue, it's whether he got kicked out for punching someone and starting a fight. Pontoon is a shitty nightclub (no offense to anyone), and they see stupid shit all the time, I doubt that they "ban" people over it. The greater point is that, if true, he acted like a twat -- but unlike Joe Shmo acting like a twat, David is the face of two organizations, one of which is based out of the British Embassy. And now, as is common after something like this happens, people seem to be questioning his performance in that role, and why he even has it to begin with.Alexandra wrote:It should be very easy for him to walk into Pontoon and take a selfie if he hasn't been banned from there.

I hear and agrre with you completely. Punching people in dirty clubs isn't part of the Embassy mission and he is clearly lacking judgment. That's why clearing it up should be in his best interest. His employer should begin with a supervised drug test, healthy well functioning people don't fight in Pontoon even after a couple of drinks.

I agree. I doubt he was "banned" too, and I don't know why an admin/mod would have changed the title to say that.Miguelito wrote: I think being "banned" is not really the issue, it's whether he got kicked out for punching someone and starting a fight.
I think the admin/mod who wrote that should explain why.
It undermines the credibility of the whole story, all the guy has to do is go back to Pontoon in a week, where he is probably not banned, or wher the ban may be forgotten or lifted, and then say "See, I never punched anyone, the whole story is false, I'm not banned."
Maybe the admin/mod who wrote it just meant "ejected" from Pontoon and not "banned." If so, the title should be changed.
Character assassination is a nuanced skill, you have to get your facts exactly right and then just subtly twist them to discredit the target, but you can't make outright errors or false statements.

David, if you're reading this (and I suspect you are), then I suggest you do as Alexandra and gavinmac suggest, and provide proof that you weren't banned.
I recommend going back this week and getting a photo of you, in Pontoon, snorting Charlie off your bitches arses. That will definitely make us believe your not the lowlife we think you are.

I'm not suggesting that he do anything. I'm just pointing out that the change of title to "banned" is suspect.Garry Crabtree wrote:David, if you're reading this (and I suspect you are), then I suggest you do as Alexandra and gavinmac suggest, and provide proof that you weren't banned.

Gotta admit gav's right on target here.
He should know, as he skillfully applied the above in order to completely (and incorrectly) excoriate andyinasia.

I was thinking you would be his drinking companion on his big night out. Maybe Greg Burnard, William George Jewsbury or even Greg Blake, would make suitable drinking buddies considering the occasion.gavinmac wrote:I'm not suggesting that he do anything.

Seems the argument supporting his innocence was that he was out of the country that weekend. He probably was.
Doesn't matter - the "event" in question happened either the Thursday/Friday or Friday/Saturday before Water Festival.. Eye witnesses have confirmed it..
Additionally, the Embassy wont give two hoots about this - they are barely a functioning Embassy themselfes and his attendance at any Britcham board meeting or any event since he took the chair position has been similarly lacking in usefullness. he can't be an embarrassment if no one knows who he is or cares what he does.
Rumor is that there is a coup in the pipeline to move his ineffective arse from the chair as soon as possible lead by some of the senior long standing members of the board. They are bored of his childish behavur and lack of skills -both leadership and itnerpersonal.
If that doesn't work and he refuses to budge then the board will strike to reform under the previous banner of BBAC and move all local functionality away from the Embassy (which has stifled the chamber since it took over under the helm of the colonial commoners who were hired from overseas).

^Interesting post Steve.
I used to attend BBAC functions and was an active member. But they then changed the luncheon rules by reducing the price, and stopping the "free flow" of drinks. Since then its not what it was meant to be, and is now full of boring people wanting to talk "business"……..To me, it died when our favourite Tamil left.

We must have met in those days, because that is about when I stopped really going or taking an interst. The lunches were good, but once the Embassy decieded attendees needed to be nannied then it all started to fall apart. those days of boozy afternoons and good fun went with the employment of a woman with the social skill of a frozen prawn.Garry Crabtree wrote:^Interesting post Steve.

I did go to some of the bigger events they held, garden parties and such; but even that type of has been dead for a few years now - instead they just roll out the same tired formats and guestspeakers... and cricket.
The focus is clearly no longer to support and promote people doing business here, it is alla bout finding some dog food importer from Clackton on Sea who wants to crack the cambodian market and set up a canning factory in Kampong Tittywank

Once upon a time there was a British Business Association
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we could do
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
