New Diaries are uploaded around midnight on Thursday, local time, here in Pattaya by the Landlord Kim Fletcher.

The World Cup Cricket 20/20 starts on Friday 5th June, so as long as the weather holds out in England for a couple of weeks. We should all be in for some hard and fast Cricket to watch. And Formula One Grand Prix this weekend on Sunday 7th June at 6.30 p.m. for full details of all the sport this weekend, please look up our Sports Schedule on this page. Of course last weekend was marvelous with on Saturday The Super 14s Rugby Final, The First Lions Game and The F.A Cup between Everton and Chelsea all vying for our attention.

Big Sub-Sub-Sub-Committee meeting was held by some of the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive nominated helpers to get things rolling for this year as the two main events are rapidly approaching. Firstly we have the Jesters, Care4Kids Charity Drive Fair at Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday 13th September 2009 starting at 10.00 p.m. with all the fun of the Fair. Followed by the Party Night at the world famous Irish Pub Jameson's on Saturday 19th September with all the fun of music, dancing, comedy, Paul Jackson, the Grand Raffle, and of course the Auction. Some of the Charity Drives Auction items are already up on the Auction website which you can log into by clicking the flashing logo on the side of this site.
The meeting was well attended by the usual suspects all willing to do their bit, in attendance was RayC, Young Steve Page, Judi McNamara, Captain Steve Ponter, Fleming from the Dusit, Deborah Philbrook (at least in spirit), Geordie, Derek, Pattaya's sexiest man Paul Strachan of PMTV, our beloved Captain of Football at Jameson's Brian Abbott, who the next day was sending e-mails all over the world. Anyway the results of the meeting was that we are all going to re-double our efforts on getting in Prizes for the Raffle and some excellent idea's came up for Auction items. More of this as I learn about it all. Judi McNamara is on the Thai Pattaya Forum site building up awareness. But the one thing that the Jameson's team is seriously short of is books for our Used Bookstall we had a big clear out at the end of last year as we still had books that had not been sold since 1997!!!!!!!!!! So we thought this was a good idea, but it's a bit nerve racking starting from scratch this year. So please if anybody has got CD's, Books or DVD's that they no longer want, please drop them off at either in Pattaya, TQ or Jameson's or if in Bangkok, Tim at Jameson's on Silom Road or with Matt and Peter at Jools on Soi 4 Sukhumvit, all the items sold go to a very worthy cause.

It's not often we show bare naked flesh on the Jameson's Diary web page. But as ever we make an exception for one of Wales's favourite son's. Dai has always been very proud of his dress sense, especially the fact that he often wears genuine Lascoste shirts. Well now with this latest tattoo done whilst on a Pub Crawl with Mosquito Bill Johnstone, Dai is now a Lacoste man for life. The trouble is what if Lacoste now sue Dai for copyright, they may well ask for their pound of flesh. Of cause the moral of the story is it is dangerous to go out on the lash with Mosquito Bill

At least after beating our beloved Reading Football Club in the Semi Finals of the Play Off's (and causing the dissolution of the Reading Football Club, Supporters Society, Pattaya, Thailand. Division North. Except for Harpic). Burnley Football Club had the decency to move on and win Promotion to the Premiership. Seen here celebrating at Jameson's the Irish Pub are Burnley Simon and Friends with all the Staff in the Jameson's Sports Room

Jameson's brand new and sparkly Driver, nicknamed Brake, has been with us for two weeks now and is available 5 nights a week to pick up customers take customers home. (Brake is a wonderful Driver, and will drive your car back to your home if you think that just possibly you have had too much to drink, and then he leaves your car at your house and one of the other staff drive's motorbike along to pick you up. Better than driving drunk). Just give me a call if you want to be picked up, or to make sure the Driver is here if as is often our wont to tie one on

Saturday and Sunday were wild west times in Jameson's, with Malcolm Clare getting life in order as he departs of to India on Monday, in other words making his mark on the weekend before he leaves. (He did) Regards and Thanks from The Root of All Evil to Dobsy. Burnley Simon also made his Goodbye's, and we will see him again when Burnley are in the Premiership. Nice to see Simon Philbrook, Graham MacDonald, Simon Quigley, The Quirke's Eoin, and Shelley (Happy Birthday Shelley). Dai and Porn Coe (sadly Dai has also flown off, but will be back shortly), Bob Davis will now not be here until July 2nd, but that's o.k as he can stay longer and the Singha will be colder, mind you he might change his mind once he sees the Stawford Press Cider Promotion Girls well done Rob. Jon Fox of Q Cars, one of my best mates Ray Matti, Graham Watkins, Damo, Mickey Price our most loyal Rugby Supporter, The Youth Policy including Jimmy (Michael James Butler), Paul, Young Pagey (Pagey is here, Pagey is there Pagey is everywhere). Young Paul is off in Udon playing shops, RayC, Brain Abbott, our beloved Football Captain. Dennis and Lek who run the best laundry service in Pattaya. Have a great week, Kim.

The wonderful Jameson's sign on top of Nova Park, put up by Rony. If you are in North Pattaya and cannot see this sign, you are going in the wrong direction

Dave (Lanky) and Mrs. Lanky. Hello and wish you were here to Col and Alan

The Pattaya Hash House Harriers arrive for their On-In from the Annual Betty Boop Run (The Hash House Harriers are a drinking club with a running problem). The Betty Boop Run is when the guys dress as dolls and the dolls get dressed as men

Then all the staff had a drink because by that time we had all had loads to drink and loved them all very much

Happy Birthday Tommy

Steak Night at Jameson's. What more could you ask for on a Monday night after the weekend a Three Course Steak Dinner. Last week the choices were Market House Home Made Soup or Ham Salad followed by a Tender Fillet Steak with Jameson's special potatoes, with a nice grilled tomato all served on a sizzling platter, followed by Pineapple Pie with custard or a selection of Ice Cream all for 195 Baht (no hidden charges). AND during Happy Hour 4.30 p.m. - 7.00 p.m. Heineken is only 80 Baht a Pint

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.
