Kim Fletcher's famous weekly pub diaries at Jameson's started with the first publication Wednesday, January 26th, 2005. Each Thursday night, local time, a new diary will be uploaded for your viewing pleasure.

This Saturday 23rd August at Horseshoe Point, kick off at 4.00 (ish!). Sees The Mighty Jameson's Brian Abbott Marauders Football Team take on the visiting Greg's B.C.C.T. Terrors Football side from Bangkok. Do not let all the big talk fool you, these are the least serious games of football ever played. The idea is that everybody gets a game, we have a penalty shoot out (if we need one or not), and then it's all back to the pub for the presentation of the Jameson's Cup, all tuck into the Jameson's Carvery, a few pints and relax and watch the professionals have a kick about on the box. That is if all goes as planned. New shirts have been acquired for the Jameson's team (Mickey Price of course doing all the leg work) and the Jameson's team will be turning out in Middleborough Red strips. We did toy with the idea of turning up in the Reading strip, but to be honest Steve the Boro kit was easier to get. So Jameson's Casuals Football Team is the only team I know of who as I write this have a record of one game played, one game won, and two strips one home, one away, without having played an away game! Our Brian has put the work in to get everything fixed up, with some help from our friend Rick Bryant (of the Von Trapp Family). Now all you have to do is turn up, play, cheer, drink, have a good time, and drink some more. Brian must be informed at least minutes before kick off if you want a game. The best approved method perfected by Sam Peebles (Junior) last game is to grab a beer swill half of it down, shrug at Brian and shout out "Sorry Skipper made a mistake and had a beer, can't play now". And then you just get to jeer at everybody else running about in the sun.

What a great night last Saturday was? Loads of good company, Football, Rugby and the Olympics to watch on the telly. Debbie to hand off your vodkas too. What more can anybody want?
Jesters Care4Kids Charity time is almost upon us again the two main events as if you need reminding are the fair at The Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday 14th September. Jameson's amongst other things will again be running the Used Book Stall so now is the time if you live in Pattaya to look around those old book shelves and those books that you no longer need bring into Jameson's so Judi gets a chance to sort them out, and we can put them on our stall. A great way to make money for the kids. You donate the books, we sell them, then we give the money to the kids. Easy? But first we need your books, so come on get looking and bring them in next time your in town, or in need of a cold beer. You will be able to find the Jameson's stall easy enough. We are naturally right next to the beer tent, and in a block of stalls with Ron's World of Wines Tent, Debbie's Auction Site Tent. (If you want to have a preview of what will be on the Auction please look up the link on the side of the page for the Auction. Jolly good it is too thanks Ron), Tropical Bert's, British Legion Tent, and of course Judi on the Bookstall. See you at the bar, Kim.

Livin' is good at Jameson's

The Youth Policy is well represented as ever by Steve and Paul

"Well alright our Brian you can have an away strip as long as it's in Reading Colours" (some chance) Ian (Lady Di) Harrington looks away as the gleam from the Landlord's dome is just too much for him. Kim actually went to the Jesters, Charity Drive meeting covering for Steve Ponter, and nobody noticed

E-MAILS

Fantastic to hear from Randy? You all remember Randy from Cobra Gold many moons ago. I'll get back to you Randy.

Kim,
Hey there old friend how are you? In case you didn't know this is Randy from the U.S. Marines Military Police. Been a long time but still think about you guys often and all the fun we had there in Pattaya. Just wanted to drop a line to see how things are going there. I hope that someday I will have the good fortune to make it there on a visit once again. Best wishes to all of you and hope to hear from you soon.
Randy

Magical!
Cannot wait for next weeks on the assumption Kim is not on The Font’s hit list!
Simon

JESTERS CARE4KIDS PARTY NIGHT AND AUCTION
SATURDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER 2008

Yes Folks it's that time of year again. Once this year's Jesters Care4Kids Fair day at the Diana Driving Range and Resort is over on Sunday 14th September. The following weekend on Saturday 20th September is the Jesters Care4Kids Party Night at Jameson's The Irish Pub.
Kicking off at 6.30 p.m. with Music, Magic, Dancing, and Football watching. Interspersed during the evening will be raffle ticket sales for the magnificent Jesters Charity Drive Raffle with prizes including Airline tickets, Motorbikes and Flat screen T.V's with the ticket numbers being drawn about 11.00 o’clock in the evening. You do not have to be there to collect your prize, and if you so wish the wonderful Four Winds removal company will deliver your winnings to your home for you.
Also during the night for our eleventh year running will be our grand auction this year being the most magnificent yet. Some of the items included in the Auction are:

Item A00 Led Zeppelin's Mothership Double C.D
Item 0005 A signed Photo of Paula Cramer
Item 0010 Manchester United football
Item 0017 The signed Booby Charlton Autobiography

Item 0018 Chinaman by Stephen Leather

These are just a selection of items from over sixty (with more items being added daily along with new bids for items which keeps the site very active, and worth catching up with at least once a week) that we have on offer, all with full authentication. To see a full list of all the items please go to our Jesters Care4Kids Auction website at either www.care4kids.info or www.jamesons-pattaya.com or 17 other website around Pattaya which carry links to our Auction site.
We also have sixteen signed Premiership Football Shirts, some great items of Furniture, several items of Golf Memorabilia, many Signed C.D's from some of the World's great Rock Bands. There is pretty much something for everybody. On the website there are even plenty of videos for you to watch as you peruse your choices. The Bidding has already started as you can make your bids on your favorite item right now on line. The bidding system is very user friendly, you will be informed if your bid is successful, and of course Four Winds will deliver your item to your door as long as you live in Thailand.
But it is always much more fun to actually come to the Party Night at Jameson's, and join in with the merry making.
Last year we nearly raised 500,000 Baht with the Auction with some items being bid off for 500 Baht or even less, whilst others of more obvious value raised a lot of money, but again there is something for everybody's pocket. Of course this year we would like to raise more than last year, and you can see where are all the much needed donations go by logging onto our weekly updated website at www.care4kids.info which will keep you up to date with all things with the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2008.
Hope to see you all at the Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday 14th September, where there will be a stall displaying all the Auction items, and at the Party Night at Jameson's on Saturday 20th September to find out who made the winning bids. Of course I also hope to hear from you in the mean time bidding from the Auction site.
