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

For those of you that wish to know what Mott The Dog thought about the wonderful Rock Festival, put on by Ritchie and Tom at the Nirvana Resort in Soi 4 Jomtien, please go to this link on the Ian Hunter website at http://www.ianhunter.com/ihboard/viewtopic.php?t=4071
For the rest of you, you will just have to look at all the photos that were taken by Wanchai and Malcolm Clare The Root of All Evil. I think it is plainly obvious by the photos that not only was there a lot of work put in by a lot of people, but a lot of people had a lot of fun. The beer was Neil Sandilands cold, and the Nirvana Resort has to be the place to stay if you are staying in Jomtien.
The pub has been rockn'rollng as well all week with many people putting in star appearances. My Jimmy, Mottman Colin Powell, and the Scourge Alan Taylor have all played their part in the pub, but have now gone off for a week's travels. Ron Keeley, Weaw and James from the wonderful World of Wines, and Johnny Fox of Q Cars, a fleeting but devastating visit by Ray and Curly Wurly Matti. Malcolm Clare The Root of All Evil has been well The Root of all Evil. Des Hall is back and ruling the roost at Nova Table (he was left in charge of the pub last Monday, but I will give you full details of this in next week's diary, if the pub is still standing). Graham Macdonald (The Font of All Knowledge). Proved that he even has very good judgement in taking a wife as Jay made sure she got taken out for Valentines Day, but also made sure that Graham was back in the pub in front of the T.V. for the kick off of the Rugby. Paul Dobbs and Brian Abbott have been up to their usual tricks, and Judi McNamara, has held her place at the table. Some good Birthday's last week with Dang Fineman celebrating her Birthday as well as Paul Dobbs. This week's notable Birthday's include Rosemary Fletcher, and our world famous Head Barman Bob's Birthday.

Sadly this week there is a break in the Six Nations Rugby Tournament, but we still have a full sports schedule on the T.V for more details please look up our sports section on the link at the side of this page.
Nice to see new Jesters Charity Drive Committee member John in the pub wearing a Jesters Charity Drive T-Shirt. Always especially good to see Captain Steve Ponter and his Dad Bill. The Bryant's are always welcome, a little music conversation is always welcome in Jameson's. But where are the pickled eggs. Sad to see Sid Silk leave, but he had finished Stephen Leather new book, so it really was time to get back to work.
Good to hear from all sorts of folk, Tony and Iris Ritchie, Lisa Lurve, and David Foden (although what he said about the England Cricket team after their collapse for 51 in the 1st Test is unprintable in these pages), and of course Linus.
The Geordies are still here in force led by Darren, Alec, Derek, and Jimmy. Simon and Debbie are enjoying being married so much we didn't even see them last weekend.
It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that our dear friend Budgie passed away this week. Budgie was always so full of life and laughter that it is very hard to imagine he is gone. He was an immediately likeable bloke, and soon established himself in Jameson's becoming famous for taking over the pool area with his good buddy George Again. Budgie would lean out the window and chat up the passing girls much to the girls delight with Budgie's natural patter and charm. If you go up to the pool area of Jameson's you will see that the window looking out on the street, has a little plague on it saying Budgie's Window, that will stay there as long as the building stands, and I personally will always think of Budgie when I wander up there.
Well as I write this last little bit of the diary for this week, the Wallers are probably just landing. Des Hall is rubbing liniment on his legs ready to run the pub for the night, so it's all happening. We're all off to Bangkok to go and see Chicago (I hasten to add the musical not that band that Ken Sly likes so much). David Haworth has booked in for a month in the Nova Park so there will be some high jinx along the line there. The Root of All Evil is still here this weekend so no one is save. Partyboy Ray Matti has taken Curly Wurly back to the lakes, but obviously can come back at the drop of a cricket bat.

Ron Keeley has now got the Jesters Charity Drive Auction site up and running in fine style some really spectacular memorabilia from the rock world from Mark Winslade (who thinks he is in Led Zeppelin) and The world's greatest Rock Journalist Peter Makowski has donated many fine items to start us off. It costs nothing to have a look, and you never know there maybe that special something there that you want to put a bid on. Don't forget the two big dates to put in your diary for this years Jester's Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 are Sunday 13th September 2009 the Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort, followed by the Party Night on Saturday 19th September at Jameson's with all the fun of the climax of the Auction, the drawing of the top prizes for the raffle, music, laughter, food, and even perhaps the chance of a drink or two. Start rummaging around now for your used books as well, as again this year Judi McNamara will be running the Jameson's Used Book Stall. This will be our 12th year of running the book stall and we have always been the third most profitable stall at the Fair (after The Beer Tent and The Children's Raffle). So please help us to maintain this. It is such a great way to make money. You give us the books for nothing, you then pay us to buy some more books, and then we give the money for the kids, see easy.
Perry McNealy and the whole of the Pattaya Sports Club will be here on Friday night 20th February for a party, and always great fun it is too, everybody joins in whether they have played golf or not, so come along and join the party. But for you late night drinkers do not worry as after a long days golf the Pattaya Sports Club will all be shuffling off home just as the regulars starting coming in from work on their way home.
Wednesday as ever see's the Pattaya Hash House Harriers having their regular weekly meeting, and I must say it is always done with such good humour that it is hard to actually call it a meeting, more of a jolly get together.
Well that's it from me this week, there is more than enough videos and pictures to look at anyway. This week we should have the diary up and running on time. We finally gave in and paid the bill!!!
Enjoy your week Kim, Moo, and Rony. Come on Reading and the Good Guys.
