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

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

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

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
