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

Sunday morning saw everybody up and about bright and breezy to watch the amazing Manny Paquio wins another exciting boxing match. This one I did not need to record as sitting in the front row were Simon Quigley, Eoin & Shelley Quirke with Family, Dano, and Graham Watkins keeping his Superman Alter Ego very quiet.
Dai Coe and The Landlord sat quietly at Nova Table and continuously got the prediction of each round wrong.
The Everest Expedition has now become a very much talked about item around the table, Derek Hunter and Young Steve Page are here to assure everybody that they are actually going. Whilst Paul Dobbs is away marching up and down sand dunes in preparation for the event. It is a brave decision to make to set off on this expedition, but the enthusiasm is limitless with everybody getting involved, Paul Strachan of The Pattaya Mail, Ian the Lady Di of Harrington lending his considerable knowledge, Dennis & Lek will be preparing a list of laundered item to be prepared. But support is coming from all directions including Rob & Wit, Graham Woo, Cricket Geoff, Rock ‘n’ Roll Ashley, RayC, Stephen Ryser, all babbling on about climbing rocks.
As well as Peter Mack making the library his own Peter's Bar on many an occasion, so has The Mighty Sam Peebles this week ably assisted of course by the Jameson's Youth/Age Policy including RayC, Steve, and Bill Page, Eddie, Steve, The new Jamo's Bouncer Derek, Geordie Derek, and all.
What a weekend we have coming up as well the usual high jinks on Friday with young Ken in town for Friday night then on Saturday night we have FIVE live Rugby games (please check our Sports Schedule for all the times). So plenty of action there with a full Football schedule as well. So expect a perfect blend of Panthers, Panties and F.C. Pattaya's on Saturday night with Wanchai rushing around trying to juggle all the sports onto all the T.V screens.
Nova Gold Hotel will open it's doors this Monday, bookings now being taken for an in depth look at Pattaya's newest and best Hotel please click on the Nova Group Logo on the side of this page.

Paul Derbyshire is presented with the Barman Bob of Jameson’s award for Man of the Match for Jameson’s very own F.C Pattaya. Paul had a good all round game for F.C Pattaya both on and off the pitch. Last week F.C Pattaya played against the Bangkok Metrological office and won handsomely

The one snag to being Man of the Match is you have to drink it all down in one

The new Jameson’s F.C Pattaya shirt will never actually look this good on any of the players. But of course this is also as close as Brian Abbott is actually going to get at wearing one

Alice has to hold up Todd & Marcus

Stuart Daly about to do something illegal… Sing

Now… This is what we have come to expect a little more class at Jameson’s, the beautiful Shelley with Eoin Quirke. How Eoin got overlooked for the James Bond role we shall never know

Just to be fair a picture of Young Steve with Alice

The Opening of The Nova Cliff with of course catering by none other than Wanchai and his staff from Jameson’s

Getting ready for the weekend, Paul Slack and Young Steve, if you come into the pub at the weekend and see these two getting ready to party there is only one thing to do.... Run

The point of this photo was to show how many glasses of Graham MacDonald’s favorite drink (vodka & soda with a twist of lemon) can mount up in front of you in a matter of minutes. Graham MacDonald has always been a trend setter of course and as you can see the trend has even filtered down to the younger generation, Thank goodness the 4 glass rule only applies in Jools not Jameson’s as well

Dai Coe with the lovely Charlie & Alice, Dai always was one for the girls

Jameson’s on Saturday

Marcus gets his first taste of a Jameson’s El Diabolo

Paul Slack with the camera hogging Alice

Captain Steve (Jester) Ponter is back from South Africa, so the joviality around the table has increased somewhat. Rugby at the weekend has been traumatic & successful in many ways (just look at the Scotland vs. Australia game). But having to show so many games all at the same time has sometimes caused The Landlord's head to spin off. England winning a cricket game helped to put it back on though.
Nice to see Big Ken Fricsay in the pub for the weekend, great fun having lunch at Bruno's with Graham & Dai even though it took a day to get over, after trying more than one World of Wine flavors. Good to also see Charlie Gawthorne in the pub our new meat man. F.C Pattaya go from strength to strength winning last week 3-2. Although they will have to go a bit to catch up with Pattaya City who have now won 8 games out of 8. Nine if you include the Boat Race won against both Pattaya Cricket Club and The Pattaya Panthers Rugby Club (well done Harpic), F.C Pattaya have certainly made a good name for themselves now in Jameson's with their weekly visits which have become one of the Jameson's highlights of the week. Paul Slack ringing up to let us know when they are coming and just off the expressway.
Certainly it appears we have a very exciting 12 months in front of us. But first we have the delights of the festive Christmas Season in front of us. You can see the Christmas Day Menu on this page, please make sure your bookings go through myself Landlord Kim, or General Managers Moo or Wanchai, and are then written down with your contact telephone number and your position put down on the Christmas table map. Turning up on Christmas Day mumbling something about you sure you mentioned something to Lola in September or just blaming J.J for your lost booking will not actually carry much weight. Let's face it if you're not at Jamo' on Christmas Day you're not in the right place.
New Year's Eve this year will be the same as last year, just running the pub as normal, no band, no big buffet, just the regular menu, with regular drinks, all at the regular prices, with our regular friends. We will of course as usual all go mad at midnight and see in the new year with champagne, “Auld Ang Saign” and all the New Year festivities, you also of course can see all the fantastic firework displays from the Royal Cliff all the way down to the Dusit from Jameson's without having to get caught up in the New Year's traffic. Have a great weekend, Kim.

Man of the Match for F.C Pattaya after their glorious victory 3-2 away on Saturday 21st November was Magic French Nico who managed to be elected Man of the Match from some pretty strong competition from Alder shot Dave. Nico is seem here drinking his just reward a giant Margarita in Jameson's (next door to the newly opened Nova Gold Hotel) The Margarita must have been good Nico mistakenly took home Charlie's kit which must of given him a bit of a shock on Sunday morning

This is when Thursday night went seriously wrong it wasn't Ray, Young Steve & The Mighty Sam Peebles singing (if I may say so even worse than Brian Abbotts) it was when Dai Coe decided to drink real Banana Daiquiri in amongst drinking the entire top shelf & drinking Jamo's out of Port. The Root of All Evil Malcolm Clare would have been proud of him
