So Klongy has asked around UBC and no one knows you.
What gives? Have you been outed already?
want to come around my place with your cameras for a month, edit out all the positive bits and make a one sided show of negative bits to make us all look like fools and titilate your viewers like so many other shows before you?

be quicker to do it round at my place, they will save time by not having to edit out the positive bitsOriginally Posted by Bung
ever popular:
Just got to thinkin' Are we getting as elitist as them TV folks? Or was this guy just a real twat?
In this guy's case he was just a twat. I think most of the responders were too savvy to fall for his 'hey guys let me do you a big favour and give you some free publicity while I turn your life into five minutes of entertainment for the couch potatoes'Originally Posted by friscofrankie
Lord, deliver us from e-mail.
I've noticed a trend to give newbies a hard time recently, too.
Some folks genuinely have little experience of boards and/or life in Thailand.
Well, he will prolly never be back.Congrats on growing this place.
Why wasn't he trolled? Being such a twat he surely asked for it.

Let's face it, this guy was just another chancer. He's hoping to toss together a tv show and expect UBC to pay him nicely for doing so.
If he was commissioned already he would have had proper e-mail addressess and would have been more believable from the off.
Even if he was a chancer, Lot's of folks try and get something together. His responses to some pretty mild questions were evasive, even condescending. Just didn't come off as genuine, or honest.
Well if his UBC program is as bad as his travelogue then you haven't missed much

What an arse. Learn some people skills Thaitours.
It's easy to forget that and get a bit cyinical at times,aparently other boards do it a lotOriginally Posted by stroller
Got a bunch of real cnuts at that tv board, fok most of them are gay anyway, the others like sticking there arms up cows bums, foking weird lot they got there.
There is'nt anything like waking up to a nice home fire in the mornings during the cold season is there !!Originally Posted by dirtydog
I'd be suprised if UBC produced their own programs, aren't thy just a service provider?
What channel would it be on? Discovery?, Xzyte?, History?, Or possibly Animal Planet?
Bung
UBC have domestic channels - see channel 17 (I think) then up in the 50s or 60s there are a few more.
The OP could be above-board. It could also be a little interesting (but no fucking way am I doing it).
Feel a little pity for him, having you lot jump all over him
Looking at some of the responses though, makes me wonder, collectively, how many years experience of LoS we have - 500 years? 1,000?
Boil him in oil!!
First of all, great thanks to those who have contacted me and offered help. And to the grammar police, thanks for correcting my spelling of ambivalence, I knew something looked funny about the spelling I gave it.
Well, to address some of your comments, even though I know I really ought not to: By asking for help I am not asking anyone to do my work for me. Interviewees do not do the interviewers job by being interviewed.
As for being an "uptight little bitch", I was merely pointing out the stupidity of a response which clearly had no intention other than being obnoxious.
As for being a "twat", geez, please stop calling the kettle black.
As for my people skills, I have thanked people. But people skills aren't for dealing with animals. (I like that one about Animal Planet, btw, great self deprecating humor there) Writing back and forth to a bunch of anonymous angry antagonists can hardly be considered to be dealing with people.
As for my legitimacy... congrats on finding out that a couple of blokes at UBC have never heard of me. So obviously, not only does my show not exist, but neither do I!!! As an independent contractor working with one of theier independent contractors, they should know me, right? And as for the website, it will come when I can pay someone to do it right. Where are all your guys' websites? C'mon, didn't your humongous team of media professionals make one yet? So what if your programming is NEW.
Some of you are clearly worried about being outed. Somebody wants to put dirtydog's head on a platter and all that. If that's the case, don't bother responding at all. See how apprehensive you are, and you're surprised that I share some of the same notions? Heads on platters, knives in backs, same thing, right? If I told you everything about me I'd get some asshole stirring up trouble for me. See, I've already got one of you lot calling UBC about me. Now what if that ass knew my full name, company name, and the show's name, what problems might he be able to cause me then?
As for my integrity... Too bad I chose a line that seems to be one used as a scam by a TV show 3-4 years ago looking to expose the evil ways of dirty evil foreigners. I will however be asking questions that make it look like foreigners love Thailand and everything about it, so I will in fact be editing out the bad bits. Not only that, but the interview could be practiced ahead of time, etc.
If you're nothing but a sexpat don't bother responding anyway. I know enough farangs in BKK and Pattaya to do all the interviews there that I need, so I don't need or want to interview any of you. Of course, if someone seems really interesting, they can be added, so don't let your geographical location stop you.
Again, thank you to the people who have given some help and contacted me. It's people like you who make wading through the muck all worthwhile!

Hi i'm flash and i'm in Ireland, i'm up for an interview.Originally Posted by ThaiTours
will i be provided with sandwiches?
The best defense is a good offense, right? Ok, so it's a poorly applied metaphor, but I'm just saying that the hostile tone here became apparent from the first few responses I got. I feel bad that I was dragged into the bickering... but not too bad. Anyway, please don't boil me in oil and hang me by my balls. I'm sure it would make for great TV, but please don't do it.
