Rugby Rugby and Rugby

This weekend the Pattaya Panthers will play hosts to the University of Leicester Rugby Club being led by Anthony Askham on the social side as ever Landlord Kim Fletcher, will make sure they get a rousing welcome in Pattaya. The game will kick off at aprox 3.30 p.m. on Saturday 23rd June at Horseshoe point. The Panthers will put up a valiant effort and then for sporting effect let the visitors win. Before all piling back to Jameson's for a night of festivities. This will of course centre round the 2nd of the Tri- Nations games between South Africa and New Zealand at 7.00 p.m. This indeed should be a good way of kicking of the evening.

As in all things time takes it's toll and I am sure many of you can remember Pop's Pattaya All Stars. Well this weekend a new dynasty started with Leo's All Stars leading the band and playing a mean lead guitar is Leo Payne. Pop has been allowed to stay on as roadie, and fills in when Leo takes his afternoon nap


Curly Wurly and Ray Matti. Ray Matti must of had a very good vacation in Europe as he immediately went off on vacation to the Islands as soon as he got back, must be a very tough life


Ahhhhhhhhhh World of Wine Rose The Jameson's House Rose


Bryant and Family


The serious part of the Sunday afternoon jamboree Rick and Harpic up on stage. It was Rick's idea to have a Sunday afternoon bash and what a good one it was too. Rick and Harpic gave a magnificent show in the middle of the show! Including a brilliant version of the wizard dedicated to our old mate Lee Kerslake


Well perhaps not quite so nonchalantly


Those people who tell you that Jameson's is just a quiet little bar to pop round to for a nice little bit of Carvery on a Sunday afternoon, should think again


The obvious thing to do was give Simon Quigley a mask but no they have to leave him being the only one with his mush out on display. As you can see Johnnie Live is covering his face in horror


Definitely the Star of the show on Sunday night was Monkey on lead Vocals. Jungle book has been surpassed

If you had to put your finger on when things actually got out of control this was it Pints of Crème de Menthe being nonchalantly knocked back around Nova Table


Everybody loves a Magician


Even Wanchai needs a break sometimes


Alarmingly Ray Matti looks quite normal

When the Root takes that mask off there is going to be a lot of brightened people
