Black Out's and Candles

Fabulous week at Jameson's loads of unexpected action. The power outage on Saturday afternoon which could of been awful was actually great fun, with Louisa and Lennie leading the way. No power not only means no light or Telly, but of course no fans, or precious air conditioning. Most customers would of left but not the Jameson's crowd, the longer the lights were out the more determined the folks were to see it out. The obvious way of keeping cool was to drink nice cold beers, and in some peoples case vodka. (Drinking iced vodka became quite a trick as the ice melted nearly as fast as you could put it in the glass. But we managed). Anyway a big Thank you to all for tremendous team spirit and fun. Might turn the electric off on purpose next week.
Heard from Mottman Colin Powell this week who has been drinking with Blue Derek down the Toon in England Colin arrives in 7 weeks and is counting the days. Iris and Tony Ritchie also leave about the same time.
The pub has been humming all week, with Iain Corness leading the way early on Sunday for the Grand Prix. Do not forget the next Grand Prix in the Formula One Season is at 2.00 p.m. on Sunday 19th October, and you know that if Iain Corness is sitting in the Jameson's sports room in front of the giant big screen then you are in the right place to watch the race. Please read the Pattaya Mail at www.pattayamail.com the racing column for Iain's views on last weeks race, and his thoughts on the upcoming race.
For all other sports events over the week to be shown on the Telly please look up our sports schedule.
Humming around in the bar have been of course The Font of All Knowledge, Graham MacDonald, Dez, Eye Eye Paul, Young Steve, Derek, Big John, Rick and Harpic of Von Bryant family fame, Mike Franklin (for just one glass of wine, honest Doc.), Rony Fineman and Family who had their Premier of the new movie which the Landlord is punching himself for not being able to attend. Simon and Debbie, Stuart and Moo, Anthony, Brian and Lee Abbott with daughter Donna, and the mysterious Stuart Black! Norwegian Bjorn. Johny Live who somehow for another week has escaped the Jameson's camera, The Mighty Sam Peebles was in at the beginning of the week but then whisked away, Shaun, and Bryan, Captain Steve Ponter whisked in in-between trips to South Africa. Mickey (The T-Shirt) Price, Steve Hogi, David Dobbs has sadly followed Paul Dobbs back to work, Jason Payne, Ron Keeley, The Magnificent Ian (Lady Di) Harrington, Jim and Jennie Howard, Eoin and Shelley Quirke, Vince, Paul, Matt the Wig, Kevin Fisher, The always cheerful Muffy, Neil Sandilands is back, the now happily married Paul and Keaw Strachan, being married is obviously very good for Paul as the latest programs on PMTV have all been excellent. For those of you that don't get PMTV to your homes you can always look it up on www.youtube.com and just type in Pattaya Mail or even better Jameson's Pattaya Mail, whilst on Youtube and you want to watch/listen to some stunning Rock 'n' Roll just type in the words Nutz/Rage for some great songs from our friends Nutz.
Only a short diary this week, as one has been a little under the weather, but normal service has now been resumed, and the Landlord is back in the thick of things. Have a good week everybody, and I promise a good long diary next week, Kim.

Kim waits patiently for Dez to get out of his seat!

Stuart, who flew all the way to Thailand in the hope of either having a drink with Brian Abbott or watching Scotland on the Telly, and took the better option of having a drink with our football Captain, with Donna, Lee Abbott, and the man himself Brian Abbott

All these photos were taken in the dark, and not only the dark, but in the heat too. As last Saturday afternoon we had a power voyage due to heavy rain, and with no air conditioning, Jameson's does get a might hot, but these guys led by Stuart Daly, Lennie and Louisa, would not be moved and the real feeling of team spirit came out, as the obvious solution was to drink our way out of the situation. Which was a great idea, when we thought the power would come back quickly, but three hours later we were all still going strong in the heat and the dark did not really matter anymore
