Diary No. 222 Week of 8th June 2009
- 14th June 2009 Updated 18th June 2009
The
Lions set out in Ernest
Well this
is the weekend we have all been waiting for since the last Rugby
game, we all wanted to watch. South Africa vs. The British
and Irish Lions 7.30 p.m. on Saturday 20th June. Nothing
gets in the way of this little beauty. All screens will be on
the Rugby, and the Pub will
be packed with roving Panties and Panthers,
so come as early as you can for good seats. 8.00 a.m.
would be a good time to get your seat. In fact there is veritable
feast of Rugby this Saturday 20th June
starting at 2.30 p.m. with New Zealand playing France,
followed by at 5.00 p.m. and then at
7.30 p.m. the big one for the South Africans
and the British and Irish Lions fans, when The
Springboks, take on the Lions live at 7.30
p.m. Of course we will all be sitting in the nice air-conditioning
in Jameson's whilst knowing The Font
of All Knowledge's luck he will actually be sitting
in the stadium in the one place the rain gets in, and the
North Westerly wind will be blowing a gale. Seriously
good luck to all of you that are going, you lucky lot, and have
a good time. Iain Corness of course will not give a hoot
about Saturday (apart from the Formula
One Qualifying). As he will be waiting for his main
event which is quite naturally the Formula One Grand
Prix The British Grand Prix from Silverstone with the Lights
going out at 7.00 p.m. Sunday 21st June. This is also
where the Jameson's surround sound really comes
into play (or is that just Iain and Peter,
making BRM BRM noises?)
There is also the US Open Golf this weekend,
but this is a little after most of our bed times.

He is a headmaster you know? So it's worth a look. Kim
Run your curser over the people it tells you who
they are and provides a link (if you double click) to get
more information on each person. This can keep you occupied
for hours and you will be surprised at
the number of people you recognise.
Nova Table starts to get a bit raggedy round the edges with
Derek, The Most beautiful Mrs. Derek, Steve, Pizza RayC, Kim,
and of course boldly looking into the camera, Young Steve
Watch out the Australian's are coming. Don't mention the World
Cup Cricket 20/20's. Although I expect they will be calling
long and hard come the Ashes. Good Trip Boys
This is when things started to go wrong on Thursday with the
ever smiling Bjorne ordering a small Sambuca

The Jesters Fair is
leaping up towards us (so is my holiday to go and see my
Mum). The Big Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive
2009 Fair is being held on Sunday 13th September
at the Diana Driving Range and Resort. The
Jesters Care4Kids Used Book Stall is still screaming
out loudly for your Used Books. If you are
in the Pattaya area, please bring your books
in and leave them at the four designated Bars.
The Fair is of course followed by the
Party Night, at Jameson's on Saturday 19th September 2009
one of the many things that goes on that night is the conclusion
of our Grand Auction. Only this week Ron
Keeley our Charity Drive Auction Webmaster, has completely
revamped the Auction Site, putting loads more
items up and now the Bidding is starting to
warm up. So go and have yourself a little look.

is too. These are several good restaurants that you can order
food from until 3.00 a.m. every day. So once

You can simply pick up the phone dial up Door2 Door

good. Anthony the Russian is in and about, our
wonderful Football Captain Brian Abbott has been as stalwart

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.
