Diary No. 217 Week of 4th May 2009 - 10th May 2009 Updated 14th May 2009
A week of Soccer Action, and Celebrations Rick Bryant passed 50 years old this last week an achievement not many of us thought he would make (including himself!!!!). Happy Birthday Bryant may there be many more. All The Youth Policy have been having a wonderful time watching the Football this week with all three North/East teams caught up in the relegation battle. Personally The Landlord is grateful that he comes from down South. Happy travels to Sam Peebles who is off back to work this week. Ian is off on his travels again this time back to Blighty, and he is going back to Folkestone Kent where many, many, many Moons ago The Landlord was sent to school, oh happy memories. Lady Di of Harrington has gone off to Bangkok to work really a man of his age should have more dignity. Sam Peebles has also been persuaded to go back to work, but just for a little while you understand. Paul Dobbs (Dobsy to you and me) is also now stuck somewhere in the desert, crying into his handkerchief over his beloved Boro. I keep telling him, “Not to give up, there are still two games to go”. But he won't listen. Look at the England Cricket and Football teams from Rags to Riches in no time. A wonderful picture dug up for us by Geoff Evans, of a famous day at Jools where the Brave, the Bold, and the Stupid went down to Lumpini Park for a breakfast of Fresh Snakes Blood. Yes that's right the fella with no legs was Breakfast. This photo was taken about 6.30 A.M. (Well what other time do you drink snakes blood?) standing round the circle from left to right are Herbie Gledhill, Kim Fletcher, Dar Elkin, Chris Church, Geoff Evans, Stan Elkin, Bob Niggle, Aoi Evans, (who's idea it was) Keith Brooks, Geoff Bradley, and Number One, Noi, Jools Manageress. Plus of course playing a very short cameo appearance by the Cobra, and his owner. If my memory serves me right this photo was taken in about 1994, and can now be seen on the Jools bar walls.
Just before the Kays left for their planes Brian Abbott 'Captain Sensible' Jimmy Howard in yet another wonderful shirt, The Font of All Knowledge Graham MacDonald, The One Night Wonder Simon Edmonds, and the returning Jetlagged Simon Philbrook Graham Macdonald the Charmer Harpic, and Shelley Happy Birthday Nova Table on Friday night early doors with Terry Schofield of No Fixed Abode, Fat Landlord Kim Fletcher and The Bouncer Geoff Evans (who wasn't there Allegedly) A view from the other side of the Bar Nova Table starts to hot up	The Unquenchables are back Jay and Harpic Eat, Drink and be merry Derek gets stuck into the Friday Three Course Dinner Special at 195 B. Including a Starter, Main Course of Fish 'n' Chips and then a choice of dessert. Doesn't he look happy on this? Chicken Nick gives a sideways glance John, Ashley, and Ian discuss the exact route that Ian will be taking to get himself home to Blighty this week Work............. Moo and Pen caught mid action
Brand new Jameson's Breakfast has been put together by a Committee of the Jameson's Customers, headed up basically by The Youth Policy of Young Steve Page, RayC, Blue Bar Derek, Scottish Derek, The Font of All Knowledge Graham MacDonald, Simon and Debbie Philbrook, Brian Abbott, Eoin and Shelley Quirke, Damo, Johny Live, 'Simon' (that just covers about half the people in the bar, Simon was obviously a very popular name in our Era. All nice blokes of course), Captain Steve Ponter and all. There's only one way to see if it's any good came and try it. The Extra Black Pudding can definitely be laid at the hands of RayC, and I think that Moo has done a lovely job on lay-out of the menu, all we need now is for you to come and try it out. Plenty of General's arriving this weekend Sid Silk is going to pop in to give us the benefit of his Boxing knowledge, well that should tidy up a nice little 30 seconds. Geoff Evans is back in town this weekend officially. So you know the rules lads Boro Steve pronounced Geoff the Bouncer, and we will leave it there. Great to have lots and lots of Bryant's in on Wednesday night and fun to talk of old times. Can you imagine having Harpic as your personal PR, looking after you in every way. Even making romantic choices for you. Well I have and I have the scars to prove it. I presume that Rick's Birthday will spill into Graham Watkins's Birthday this weekend. A very Happy Birthday to you both from all at Jameson's. This week it is also Big John Harrisson's Birthday, and the man who gave us Captain Care4Kids Steve Ponter, Bill Ponter’s Birthday. So Birthday wishes go out to you two, too. Lads of sport on the Telly this weekend as well, Cricket, West Indies having another go at the English Premier League Football with vital match's at both the top and the bottom and best of all the Rugby with the Heineken Cup Final. Please look up our schedule on the sports link for all the details. Have a lovely week. If anybody wants to be added to our weekly mailing list please drop me a line at info@jamesons-pattaya.com and I'll add you on. Regards, Kim, Moo, and Rony.
Fajitas for Peter and his good Lady The always smiling Bjorne Kim, Ron, and Bruce all get together to have a giggle about last week's Chris Kay's Pattaya Ten's at Horseshoe Point, next year's event is already under way with plans being made with The Root of All Evil Malcolm Clare taking on more responsibilities Happy Birthday Burnley Simon Kim hangs onto Jim , and Jim wonders if he can ever get away from this wretched Table Simon Quigley, Kim Fletcher, and The Root of All Evil Malcolm Clare are kept amused for the time being by Muffy Kerr. You have always to stay on the right side of Muffy as one he has a huge family, (I mean there is a lot of them, not that they are Fat!) and Muffy is the main man for raffle tickets for the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive every year, this year the main events are at the Diana Driving Range and Resort Fair Day on Sunday 13th September followed by The Party Night at Jameson's on Saturday the 19th September. With all the fun of the Fair, please bring any books DVD's and CD's to Jameson's for collection for the now traditional Jameson's stall for used items at the Jesters Fair the quicker you can get them to us the quicker we can get them sorted. On The Party Night there is a bit of an Auction which is always great fun, the Auction items already in are on display on this site just go to the flashing link on the left hand side of this page as you look at it and have a shufty, you will be glad you did, as it is quite interesting, and you might even want to put a bid in When The Landlord was allowed to drink beer (which seems a very long time ago now, in fact all the way back to last Monday. Tragic really) he used to drink 'Pure Blonde' because they do have such pretty promotion girls. Seen here sitting with a table full of Pure Blonde is Jameson's Football Captain Brian Abbott, Landlord Kim Fletcher, a Friend, The Root of All Evil Malcolm Clare, and another friend. Oh Mottman what are you doing back in Newcastle? Iain and Peter a study in concentration. Iain write a marvelous Motor Sport Column in The Pattaya Mail, which if you would like to look it up is on www.pattayamail.com Try and keep your eyes focused on Steve and Derek please Boys Dave concentrates as hard as anybody whilst the Grand Prix is on. As you can see in the background Brian Abbott is purely here for the 'Pure Blonde'. Whilst Furniture Peter has a firm grip on Big Dave's Jools chair Dave still looking at the Formula One, Brian still waiting for the Big Football game, Kim still hiding behind a line of Pure Blonde's. This was before Monday, and The Landlord's little chat with the Doctor The Formula One is still going, but if you notice in the background there is still one dissenter, who has managed to have the Manchester United vs. Manchester City game put on. I imagine Dennis probably had something to do with this Steve and Derek try to get out the way of having their photo taken again. But Nope we got 'em When the camera is out you may as well smile Iain Corness's Car Club which meets at Jameson's every second Monday of the month and talk about all sorts as long as it has got wheels, piston's etc. Always a very jolly group if you are a Diesel head and want to talk your sport Iain's Car Club is the place to come Now the competition this week is who can come up with the funniest caption for this photo. "Somebody shot Harpic and the Band played on?". "Harpic tried really hard to stay awake during the Cricket". "The conversation around Nova Table is really this boring"	Bob and J.J share a giggle Simon from Burnley feeling very happy with himself as not only did he get the girls (and boys) Charlie, Pucky, and Alice, but his rotten team Burnley beat our beloved Reading Football Club causing not only Good Guy Steve Coppell to resign, but worst of all causing the demise of the Reading Football Club Supporters Society, Thailand, Pattaya, Division, North to call it a day and pack it all up. (Apart from Harpic of course, The Splitter who will be carrying on, on her own). Good Luck in the Final anyway to Burnley (he says through gritted teeth, although slightly tempered by the fact that England Cricket Team have finally got their onions together, now if the Boro can just win their last two games) Anybody for a game of pool Happy Birthday. Great action shot of blowing out the candles Now it is serious Birthday Party time. There is no better place in Pattaya to enjoy your Birthday than Jameson's Muffy's Gang. Sticks at the ready (to play pool of course) While the Boys play pool the rest of Muffy's Gang do what they do best eat Jameson's wonderful food The Lights are off and it's go. Iain Corness (who nearly went into retirement as a Racing Driver this week, but The Landlord managed to talk him out of it. Way to young yet Iain) and his crew watch the start of last week's Formula One Grand Prix on the giant screen at Jameson's in the sports room. The great thing about Jameson's is that we have 17 screens to show the sport on and we can show 11 different channels at the same time. We have the giant screen in the sports room, three 42" screens in the bar and all the rest are strategically placed around so you can position yourself where you want and watch several sports all at the same time. Means you have a crick in your neck the next day, but Hey we all have to make sacrifices for sport The giant screen makes an appearance itself, as you can see it's pretty big. How big? Well I don't know my arms aren't long enough Pucky, one of the Stawford Press Promotional Girls, and Nok, this photo is for Mottman, and the courage. You can work out yourselves who is for who? In order of height Ian getting ready to fly back to Blighty. Not only is he going back to England, but he is going back to Hythe, Kent. Now who else do I know that lives there? Ashley pops his head up so we can get a full photo Happiness is a Jameson's plateful, and full glasses Harpic and Carly Bryant, sit quite contently at Nova Table. How they keep going is beyond me. This is like day four of Rick Bryant's Birthday week, (Have you noticed these days how everybody, myself included, has either two Birthday's a year or celebrates like fury for a whole week?) A lovely shot of the lovely Carly Bryant. Later Carly was to get extremely excited about the Men's Gymnastics on the Telly, whilst the rest of us watched the Cricket Bjorn from Norway gets the drinks in for the staff, a nice thing to do on a quiet night

Kim Fletcher and Jameson's thoughts turn to the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive is coming up very quickly. Let me just remind you of the dates for the main events on Sunday 13th September 2009 is the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort, which this year looks like it is going to be even bigger and better this year than last (if that is possible). Kevin Mitch once again stepping into the breach, and doing all the organization in his usual brilliant military precision style. Now whilst talking about the Fair can I also remind everybody that Jameson's amongst other things, has a Used Book Stall at the Fair run by Judi McNamara. The Used Book Stall is always great fun and also raises a nice lot of money for the kids. It is simple logic. (A) You kindly donate to us all your old used books, which can be dropped off at Jameson's or TQ any time, the earlier the better so we can get them sorted. (B) You come to the Fair, and then buy a lot of good books at a cheap price, come early for the best selection. (C) We give all the money we raise to Kevin who hands it on to the Care4Kids Charity Drive. Easy. The next event after the Fair is the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Party Night at Jameson's on Saturday 19th September 2009 which will feature Paul Jackson as our compeer, Music from Mike Gerrard, Rick and Harpic Bryant, and to bring us all to a Rockin' close Pop's Pattaya All Stars and assorted guests. On that night there will also be the arrival of Eric and Robert from their marathon Charity Bike Ride always an amazing feat of endurance, the climax to the Raffle and the fantastic Jesters Care4Kids Charity Auction. The Auction Site is up and running, with lots of good things up there already, all you have to do is click on the link on the left hand side of this page and you will be whisked into Ron Keeley of World of Wine Auction Site, there is plenty to look at and you might even fancy putting a bid in yourself. Plenty already have. There are plenty of ways of helping the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009, Obviously by coming to the Fair, and the Party Night, making bids on the Auction Site, buying Raffle Tickets, buying T-Shirts, taking a Bumper Sticker for your car, taking and reading one of our brochures and showing them to other people (all available at Jameson's or TQ). If you would like to know some more right now please click on the link on the right hand side of the page for the Jesters Care4Kids and you will go on a journey to see all about us the website. It is regularly updated and is run by our Chairman, Lewis (Woody) Underwood, and our Webmaster David Smith, a very good Charity, run by some wonderful people, to help those less fortunate than others.
