Jameson's in Bangkok, going from strength to strength
The new Jameson's
in Bangkok underneath the Holiday Inn, run
by my mate John Bell is going from strength to strength,
the Grand Opening Party will be on 21st November.
But as things are going it is already the best pub in Bangkok
before it has officially opened, now you cannot beat that for enterprise.
The fat Landlord from Pattaya Kim Fletcher will be
going up for opening night, so I can tell you I am looking forward to
that.
In Pattaya the new Thursday Special of Lasagna
is just the best thing we have ever put on as a special, Terry
Schofield of No Fixed Abode has nominated one of the best Lasagna’s
he has ever eaten recommendation indeed. Anybody to likes Pasta
should pop in on Thursday and look forward to a delightful
taste of Pasta.
Now this one is a real winner, The Thursday Special, or it should
be the Jameson's Extra Special Thursday Special, Jameson's Lasagna layers
of pasta, with beef and tomato in-between, plus a few herbs and spices,
Chef Vinai's own creation, and one absolutely not to be missed, a layer
of cheddar and parmesan cheese is put on top, and then put under the
griddle till it bubbles and crisps up, wonderful, the only problem being
is you get such a huge portion that you could not possibly finish it!
Nice to see
the bar nice and full again this week, with appearances from all and
sundry including Terry Schofield of ''No Fixed Abode'' Denis
and Lek, Rob and Wit, Mike Watkins and Meow, Paul and Joy Steve, Chicken
Nick, Big Dave Hoyle of course caused absolute havoc last weekend,
as of course so did Malcolm Clare "The Root of All Evil"
is a name he will never lose.
It was great to see what is left of Big Dave, as he
has now already lost 42 kilos and rapidly descending
downwards, strange though to see Dave just tucking
into such small portions of food and still not being able to finish
it. Malcolm Clare was at his storming best on Sunday
afternoon, when we really did have a splendid Sunday
afternoon bash, we were joined by Sam Peebles
and the boys into what became a perfect Sunday afternoon
drink, starting early and finishing early, so that everybody had, had
a good time, but were still able to have a good nights sleep.
Landlord Kim Fletcher with a very smart Rick
Bryant, Rick had been off at a top football meeting in preparation for
the game next Saturday 24th November at Horseshoe Point
The new Tuesday Special Chicken Cordon Bleu
a'la Jameson's. Flattened out Chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheddar
cheese covered in flour, egg and then bread crumbs with herbs, deep-fried
and served up with crinkle cut chips and veggies, plus of course a starter
and dessert all for Baht 185
The invincible Steve Graham with the Dodgy
Landlord Kim Fletcher, Steve always brings a lot of fun to Nova Table
when he arrives
Now for news of the future, on Saturday
24th November at Horseshoe Point there will be a game of football
between the Bangkok Casuals, and the Pattaya Casuals
for the Jameson's Football Challenge Trophy. The idea
being that it will be a friendly kick about, with multiple rolling substitutes,
so that everybody gets a kick, (or maybe not but at least appear on
the field). We will play in 3 twenty minute thirds, so it's not too
tiring, and will swap the players from side to side if it all appears
to be a bit tiring! Tony Ritchie although he does not
know it yet will be the fourth official off the field, and will adjudicate
on any matters that appear controversial, and throw off anybody who
appears to be taking it too seriously. Rick Bryant along
with the Bryant gang of Harpic, Jake, Paige, and Abbi,
have organized all the fiddly bits like referees, the pitch, balls,
flags, etc. Greg Watkins is Managing and Captaining
the Bangkok side, whilst the newly formed partnership
of Brian Abbot and Kim Fletcher will manage the Pattaya
side. Anybody who fancies a kick around please contact us at Jameson's.
The presentation of the trophy, man of the match etc will be after the
game back at Jameson's, where there will be a full
schedule of games from the Premiership to watch, so
we can all see how it is done properly. That is even if Steve's
Blue and White hoop's team is playing, still never mind we
have got both Arsenal games out the way.
The Unquenchables Rugby Team on their last night, of course led
by Denis Collard, who was the perfect leader of a bunch on tour as he
ever was
Chris very kindly gives everybody's favorite Bartendy Jay-Jay a lesson
on the Ukulele, we await the out come with baited breathe
Roger Wickett Stag night in Jameson's, Roger
is about to attempt the El Diablo, never a wise idea
Going
Going and gone
A bar full of Saturday night Specials Rob, Denis
and Paul with their partners whoop it up on Saturday
It
is always nice to see the happy smilin' faces of Ian Harrington,
Mark Stubbs, Spot, Jimmy Howard, Eoin and Shelley Quirke, Dangerous
Dave, Jason Payne, Ron, Waew and James Keeley, Rony Fineman,
showing off his new Supper Club and Ice Vodka Bar around
the corner (but more of this next week after we have paid a visit).
Also always good to see Simon and Debbie, Graham MacDonald,
J.K and Tai with Ice.
Thank you very much to all for the magazines this week including Big
Dave, Ian Brown and The Root of All Evil. Stuart and Moo made
a nice visit, and we all look forward to the arrival of Tony
and Iris Ritchie. Johnnie Live is still dashing around as ever,
whilst Mike Franklin gears up for the Diana
Gold Golf Competition.
Great to have dominating the middle of the bar Mike Watkins
and Meow, Nigel, Paul and Joy, "Doesn't necessarily make
you a bad person" Steve, Chris, Derek, Geordie Darren,
Graham Woo, Chicken Nick, and Joules.
Hope you all have a good week, Kim.
