Happy Birthday Jimmy Howard

Marvelous Birthday weekend for Jimmy Howard last weekend. Could not of been better, huge great booze up on Friday night at Jameson's, where bottles of gin were bought wholesale! A game of Rugby at Horseshoe Point (one of the best sporting facilities in South East Asia). Which was won by the last try of the game by the Jimmy Howard Rhino's over the Pattaya Panthers (Much to the Panthers Dismay). Followed by a night on the town, and a Sunday to relax and recuperate. As you can see from the photos people had flown in from all over the world to play and were privileged and very happy to do so. Unfortunately due to a selection era the size of the England Cricket teams The Big Fat Landlord did not actually get a game, as he was not picked in the starting 15 (as he was hiding behind Simon Philbrook, and Mottman Colin Powell, with Dez Halls as security) then two minutes into the game he pulled a muscle reaching for a beer so that was the end of that. Far too many people arrived to mention all, and too much booze was drunk for clear memories, but through the haze of alcohol and fear, some friendly faces were Joe and Superstar Racing Driver James Grunwell, John Pritchard, Vince Swift, Graham MacDonald, Simon and Debbie Philbrook (Marriage is good for Debbie she looked stunning), Eoin and Shelley Quirke, Mitch Howard, Snelley, Colin Hastings, Mick Turner, Paul Crouch, Ralph, Ian Brydon, Mike and Meow Watkins (Mike playing rugby for the first time in 10 years), Richard and Maggie Waller (a fair old amount of the World of Wines wine was drunk over the weekend to everybody pleasure), John, Tai and Ice Kennedy, Richard and Ali Greening (The Defense), Rick ,Harpic, Paige, and Abbi Bryant, Jason Nui, and Leo Payne, Ron, Weaw and James Keeley, Graham Watkins, Simon Quigley, Colin Hastings.

This weeks has lots of Jameson's type events on the go first up on Friday we have one of the fabulous B.C.C.T Networking Pub Nights at Jameson's starting at 6.30 p.m. on Friday 16th January, sponsored by MBMG/ World of Wines and Jameson's a night not to be missed.
Saturday is sports day with so much sport on the TV's Wanchai will have his work cut out for him making sure we don't miss anything. Check out the sports schedule to pick out what you want to watch.

Brian Abbott, our wonderful Football Captain is not happy there was not enough photos of him on last week's diary, so demands a free drink from Landlord Kim Fletcher (he won't be happy when he sees this photo either, but it's worth a drink)

When would a Jameson's diary ever feel complete without The Root of All Evil and Port. Malcolm Clare in his finest hour

Then a momentous event on Wednesday, Jameson's will be celebrating its 4th Anniversary. Doesn't time fly when you are having fun. Cheese and Pickles with some more bar snacks is the order of the day. Starting at 6.00 p.m.

If you are driving down to Jameson's do not forget there is plenty of car parking space in the Nova Park car park for Jameson's customers. But cast a glance over to where is old car park used to be and you can literally day by day see the new Nova Park Hotel growing up to the sky, it looks fabulous, there will be a huge car park within the hotel for Jameson's customers. Here are a couple of artist's impressions of The Nova Park Hotel to give you a general idea of what's going on. It is always fun to be in on the ground level so to speak.

Pictures of the new Nova Park Hotel (on the old Jameson's Car Park). Today as it heads to the sky. We will give you regular updates as to its progress

It's always sad to see people leaving from long holidays as it is always delightful to get people coming back, this week we seem to have lost more than our fair share of really nice people including Bob, Young Johnnie, Big Mark, and of course my growling side kicks Dez Halls. We do of course welcome back this week Partyboy Ray Matti, who is flying in this week especially to be at the Jameson's 4th Anniversary Party (if you believe that you will believe anything). Dez Halls has actually been working very hard setting up friends of Jameson's Face Book, more of this as the computer illiterate Landlord Kim Fletcher learns of it. Colin Powell helped the Landlord to log on, but then that all became a bit confused and Ron Keeley had to be called in to sort it all out, but I'm sure by next week, I'll be able to give you all the details.
Love and regards as ever to Lisa Lurve, American Paul, Niel and Alice Poulsen, Tony and Iris Ritchie, Linus, Sam Peebles, Geoff Evans, and Dave Foden.
Steve and his little box of hooped players seemed to have got their act together a little bit last weekend and took the sting out of Watford. It's very important for the Landlord Kim Fletcher's nerves that they stay in the automatic promotion places. I worked it out on Sunday that relegation is extremely unlikely now.
Casino Steel and Honest John Plain will also be making starring appearances alongside their Geordie Fan Club at Jameson's 4th Anniversary, fans of Ian hunter and the boys will be delighted to hear. Broken Hills Red Wine our House Wine from World of Wines is usually the order of the day. That's it for this week, Cheers Kim.

One of the internationally famous Jameson's Boat Trips organized and run by Jameson's General Manager Wanchai, Wanchai is the man to contact if you want to organize a boat trip in Pattaya, there quite simply is nobody better to set sail with, well I think the photos prove that

Then it's all back to Jameson's to cook and eat what you caught

Jay-Jay looks on

No fresher fish in the world, delicious it was too. All cooked free of charge at Jameson's when you turn home victorious
