Low Season, but still High Jinx at Jameson's


The Tri-Nations Rugby last weekend certainly lived up to exceeded expectations with the South Africans putting up a fantastic showing before being over hauled at the last hurdle by the Australians. We shall wait with baited breathe for the rugby this weekend. The Formula One Racing was also well attended on Sunday led by Dr. Iain Corness in the main sports room. For our full sporting schedule this week please look further on, on this page.

Saturday was further improved by a very strong Nova Table, including Graham MacDonald (The Font of All Knowledge), Jon Fox the owner of Q Cars, Sam Peebles, Jimmy, Motorbike Shaun, The Part Time, Executive, Junior, Deputy, Assistant, Trainee Manager, Lady Di, Ian Harrington, (there is half the diary written just by putting down Lady Di's full name, both Franks, Mike, Jimmy Mike, Young Mike, Champagne George, Terry Schofield of no fixed abode, Bob (Happy Birthday) of North Shore Real Estate, Computer Mark Stubbs who is now away for a week, Ray Matti who has gone of with Ben and Dollywood to play Sixes Cricket, but by the time you read this he will be back, trying desperately tottering on the edge of the barrel. Rob and Lek, Strongman Dennis and Lek, Ian, Rony Fineman and the whole family.
Sadly Mottman Colin Powell and sidekick Alan have gone on back to Newcastle to try and regain some energy after leaving behind a trail of broken hearts behind them in Pattaya's nightlife circle.


The Fineman's drop in for their Saturday evening dinner led of course by Rony, for all of you that think about Rony you will notice there is no alcohol on the table therefore insuring no further upsets with the old liver and kidney's Rony had the Fajitas which sizzled their way to the table and were enjoyed by all


Champagne George in action, notice that George never goes it alone taking all with him. Jason the Soothsayer had to be forcibly stopped from adding shots of vodka to each round of Champagne, good job The Root of All Evil or Ray Matti was not there or vodka would of been the least of our problems


Here we are sitting round Nova Table celebrating Bob of North Shore Real Estate's Birthday. From the left we have a still relatively sober Bob, sitting next to Terry Schofield, who has the honour of sitting next to one of the most traveled men in the world Stuart, who has the daunting task of sitting next to Champagne George, Champagne George is called Champagne George for that most obvious of reason's he like to drink Champagne, and sitting next to him is the Jameson's Soothsayer Jason Payne, who will no doubt be soothing about this particular evening for quite sometime to come


The corner table is being well used with more people following Rony's lead and having the Fajitas. Could become quite a trend setter this Rony, having everybody building hotels etc!


A nice picture of George and M proving that even the staff gets carried away with George's enthusiasm for his main sport

A lonely Eoin Quirke without Shelley, although the summer influx back to England has meant plenty of e-mails and text messages from that far off land from Lisa Lurve, Dave Foden, Scud, Dobsy who will arrive in August Tony and Iris Ritchie who will arrive in November, which keeps a bit of fun in life.


Birthday Boy Bob gets stuck into the traditional Jameson's Birthday drink 'The El Diablo' invented by one Larry Wallis who has a lot to pay for the day we catch up with him


After lifting many things all over the world the welcome return of the Mighty Kevin Fisher G.C. with his lovely wife Som. Wherever Kevin goes huge great cranes are sure to rise and breweries of the world quake. But actually more importantly always all the charities of the area benefit all the more reason for everybody to be pleased that Kevin Fisher is back in town


The Tiger Girl has a definite impact on the bar, as it is Kid that is supposed to be taking the photos!!!


Bob will be very sad to see Carly and Ammi go home in fact he had to have a couple of days to get over it all. But although Pattaya's best barman he is quite fickle when the fairer sex is concerned so rest assured he has recovered by now


It's Dave and Lindsay so it must be Friday night, you must think..... Well actually no it's Thursday night. Just to fool us all Dave and Lindsay came in on Thursday and Friday this week throwing everybody's calendar out, hopefully they will start coming in every day then we can go back to normal when nobody knows what day it is

 

 

 

 

 

The Bryant's are often in, but obviously spending an awful lot of time practicing for the next Sunday afternoon of music, fun, frivolity, magic, food, and perhaps the odd drink or two to coincide with Landlord Kim Fletcher's Birthday, which as Rich Wibrow pointed out will be stretched over two days. Saturday 21st July for a few drinks and watching the end of the Tri-Nations Rugby, and then Sunday for a jolly up for the whole family on Sunday 22nd of July. For full details of this please look at the wonderful poster which young Ron Keeley has done for us which gets it's debut this week in the diary.


Ahoy Bryant's as you can see getting them to all look at the camera at the same time is one of life's more difficult tasks, but then we are no David Bailey's either. In these pictures are honoury Bryant Aimee, Carly, Paige, Abi and trying to stay cool Jake


From now on Jason will only be making up Sooth's about Tigers and drinking Tiger ale. The fact that Jason looks more like a Hyena than a Tiger with that hair cut has nothing to do with it


Dennis the Strongman and the lovely Lek imbibing at the bar after one of Dennis's workouts


The Tiger Girl meets the Adam's Family as Lurch wants his photograph taken, it appears you can take Lurch's photo but there is definitely no reflection in the mirror


The fat Landlord Kim Fletcher pontificates on the upcoming result of the Tri-Nations game last Saturday poor Simon Philbrook and Terry Schofield are nearly asleep, but The Font of All Knowledge rally's himself by trying to make contact with the outside world. As usual Kim was wrong in his predictions

Quite why some of us need to stay in the bar until day break, but we seem to do it with alarming regularity. Johnnie Live has been whizzing about not only running around the bar, but up and down to Bangkok. Steve Ponter is becoming more and more of a regular visitor always full of good ideas and generosity to a tee (Literally he gave the Landlord some golf balls last week). More use than Harry Potter. Great e-mails from Keith Mulholland, as well of course as a spectacular 8 rating from John Hagan for last weeks diary. Do not forget that we have the next musical, magical, Sunday daytime romp coming up on the Sunday afternoon 22nd July. Most importantly is the Jesters Charity Drive with the Fair on Sunday 9th September at the Diana Driving Range and Resort followed by the Party Night at good old Jameson's on Saturday 15th September. Dobsy called during the week and will be hopefully coming to stay at Nova Park in August so hang onto your hats.

Nice to hear from Dave Foden this week, although as it was mainly sports news not much of it was good from an English point of view. If you are English these days what do you support, cricket? Rugby? Tennis? Big Dave Hoyle is enjoying retirement up in Bangkok immensely although his big chair is getting a very hard work out at the corner of Nova Table. Take good care of yourselves and see you at the bar, Kim, Rony, and the lovely Moo.


Jimmy Howard The Pattaya Panthers Rugby Club president and stoutest Prop forward always sits centre stage to watch the rugby come what may, and whoah betide anybody who interrupts him


But of course at half time or even better at full time Jimmy Howard is that most amiable of blokes and will chatter away with anybody, here he is proving appoint by having a nice word with the lovely Lola after the game


Geoffrey Fletcher takes a minute off from his Carvery duties, to allow the new girls at Jameson's a chance to have their photo taken with him. These lovely girls representing John Smith's, Tiger beer, and Strongbow Cider have become regular visitors of Jameson's, I am sure charmed by young Geoffrey, they will also be coming to Jameson's on Sunday 15th July as well as on Saturday 21st July and Sunday 22nd July to help Geoffrey's old man Landlord Kim Fletcher celebrate his birthday


Happy Birthday "Jom" the lovely Jameson's staff


The Rugby game is under way and everybody is cheering on their favourite team except of course for Mike who sits calmly at the end of the table reading his paper waiting for the Premiership Football to come


Rick and Harpic ring the bell to buy all the staff a drink and they are the most popular people in the bar. Harry Potter could not be this popular with a wave of his wand


Now some people have a problem with the Steak Sandwich at Jameson's, there are two major problems, one is it's too big! Well this is easily solved by cutting it in two and sharing with a friend, other people say it is to small, well that is also quite easy to solve once you have finished one order another one


Of course if you have ordered your Steak Sandwich and find it a little on the large size and which to share it with your partner, it does not help when you find out that they have gone and ordered Whale and Chips of the menu


Tracy Edna Fletcher has now started working behind the bar at Jameson's, now if she could only be 10% as good as her namesake, and Grandma Edna Fletcher we might see some real activity behind the bar

 

 

 


Cheers, see you at the Bar
