Rugby.
But not as we know it Jim. |
Although
it is wonderful to have three yes three games of International
Rugby to watch this weekend, I can't help feeling that it will
be another very hard day for the Northern Hemisphere
supporters. Although Australia was lucky last week weren't
they? The Rugby starts at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday
2nd June with France vs. New Zealand, and continues
with Australia vs. Wales, and then England vs.
South Africa. We will top and tail this by playing a copy of
the Brazil vs. England Football game from the previous
evening. It is a good job that Simon Philbrook and Kim Fletcher
got a practice session in on Wednesday. |
Fabulous week at Jameson's
too many stars to mention all by name, but a couple of Wilkie
Birthday's will always make the week swing. Congratulations
to both Vic and Lisa. Sid Silk as ever has been the
star of Nova Table, having now discovered Stephen
Leather's writing he is becoming a bit of a conosoiur on Stephen's
books and has even managed to find a couple of unsigned books to put
in his Stephen Leather collection.

rugby games against the Southern Hemisphere teams |
| The
Executive, Junior, Trainee, Assistant, Deputy Manager Ian (Lady Di) Harrington
has been spending far too much time in Bangkok for everybody
else's liking but we still have the pleasure of his company over the weekend,
so we have Ian at the weekend and The Roving Ambassador Mark Stubbs
during the week. The Wilkies have attacked the bar every
night being a crowd on their own, but bringing lots more with them including
Jimmy Howard, Eoin and Shelley Quirke (Hi to Lisa
Lurve), Sam Peebles, Simon and Debbie, The Font of All
Knowledge Graham MacDonald, who's wonderful idea it was to get
a DVD recorder in the pub. The Root of All Evil has been
living up to and exceeding his reputation, Malcolm Clare
made sure that Johny Live had a 50th Birthday
to remember and then made sure he had nothing to remember with the inclusion
of El Diabolo's getting in the way followed up by the old one two of Port
and Brandy I do not think that Johny will ever be the
same again. The Good Guys Pete and Steve have left with
the taste of victory sweet on their lips, but The Bad Guys
will be back next year. Well that's all from me this week, Kim.

Rich Wibrow, Deborah
Lightley & Simon Philbrook hold up a copy of the hilarious football
results sent over with miraculous speed by Edna Harrisson with help from
Julian Powis. As soon as we manage to get this transferred from Vinyl
to C.D. We will set it up on the diary so everyone can have a good laugh
at what must be one of the most hilarious episodes in Vinyl history. Well
done and thanks to Edna & Julian for their enthusiasm and speedy work.

Nova Table after
one of Ian Harrington’s better jokes the now Executive Junior, Deputy,
Assistant, Trainee, Manager, better known as Lady Di had a fine night
on Saturday, making the Font of all Knowledge Graham MacDonald roar with
laughter, David “Dusit” Garred was easy to make laugh as Australia
had won, Landlord Kim Fletcher will laugh at anything whilst Malcolm (The
Root of All Evil) Clare had not get recovered his composure after England’s
Cricket score in the rugby game. He was later to feel much better after
selecting on El Diabolo for Johny Live to drink as a birthday present.
Happy Birthday Johny

SATURDAY
2nd JUNE 2007
DHL Bangkok Lions RFC proudly
present the Standard Chartered Rugby Dinner 2007 which will feature Jonah
Lomu of New Zealand and Steve Thompson of England along with our good
friends and broadcasters Willie Lose and Justin “Sambo” Sampson.
Profiles of each are presented below:
• Jonah Lomu is a former New Zealand All Black who played for his
country 73 times included 63 test matches. Born in Auckland of Tongan
descent he grew up in south Auckland and attended Wesley College, Phukekohe.
Lomu burst onto the international rugby scene at the 1995 Rugby
World Cup held in South Africa and is currently the all time try scorer
in Rugby World Cups with 15 tries scored during appearances in the 1995
and 1999 editions. He has represented several teams in the National Provincial
Championships as well as the Auckland Blues, The Chiefs and The Hurricanes
in the Super Rugby. He is currently making a comeback after undergoing
a kidney transplant in 2004.
• Steve Thompson is a former Northampton Saints and England hooker
who was a member of the sinning side in 2003. Having originally starting
his career as a flanker, Thompson was persuaded by former Northampton,
Scotland and British & Irish Lions coach Ian MeGeechan to switch to
hooker. He was capped 47 times by England between 2002 and 2006 and twice
by the Lions on their 2005 tour to New Zealand. Thompson suffered a serious
neck injury whist playing for Northampton in January 2007 which forced
him to miss the entire Six Nations. In April 2007 and at the age of 28
years old, based on medical advice he was forced to retire from all rugby.
• Willie Lose is a good friend of the rugby community in Bangkok
visiting us frequently and assisting with the organization of the Bangkok
International Tens in 2006 and 2007 and frequently arranging for rugby
memorabilia for auction at junior rugby events. Born in West Auckland
and having played for Auckland and North Harbour Rugby Clubs, he represented
Tonga at the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. Willie spent six years
playing club rugby in Japan for Yahama Motor Company. He is currently
developing a broadcasting career with a daily show for Radio Sport in
New Zealand sand has also been doing television commentary for the IRB
on the Rugby Sevens circuit at Hong Kong, Dubai and Wellington and in
2007 has been part of the Sky TV NZ commentary team for Super 14 Rugby
• Justin “Sambo” Sampson has been with ESPN Star Sports
for over 7 years as a rugby presenter / commentator. In November 2006
he established Sampson Marketing Services, a sponsorship consultancy,
event management and corporate hospitality company which allows him time
to concentrate on being a prominent speaker, master of ceremonies and
auctioneer at various functions throughout the region, Middle East and
Australia. Prior to joining ESPN Star, Sampson worked with the Singapore
Rugby Union for over five years as National Coach which followed a three
year spell playing and coaching for Kubota Corporation in Tokyo, Japan.
The evening will feature a traditional Maori welcome for Jonah from the
Bangkok Maori Group and will include a four course meal and free flow
wine and beer – all for a measly THB 2,800. The function will be
held at the Imperial Queens Park Hotel on Saturday 2nd June 2007 from
7pm and there will be a number of items of rugby memorabilia available
for auction as well as other exciting items which will be included in
a raffle.
In advance of the Dinner, the four individuals above along with members
of the Bangkok Lions Committee will on Friday 1st June undertake a number
of community development initiatives including visits to schools and charities.
On the morning of Saturday 2nd June 2007 they will hold a coaching clinic
at Bangkok Patana School.
We’ve had some splendid dinners over the past few years and this
please do your best to support this event and spread the word! Rats –
please inform all at the Panthers and Panties. Jamster – please

We look forward to your support and should you have any questions please
feel free to contact me.
