The Soft ball this Sunday 27th

It's Softball time again, as much fun as you can have with your clothes on (and if your lucky Harpic will make a lie of that). It's the Jameson's San Miguel Cup Softball Competition on Sunday 27th April at about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, at Horseshoe Point, now if you do not know where Horseshoe Point is have a look at the map on the Pattaya Panthers link on this page. Great fun at Horseshoe Point, lot's of things to do apart from the Softball, they have a complete zoo there pretty obviously horses, the wonderful pool is available all day, restaurants, laughter, and most importantly lots of free flowing San Miguel and afterwards all back to the pub to watch the Formula One Grand Prix at 6.30 with Iain Corness. See you there on Sunday.

Songkran is now over and you can put your best bib and tucker back on, many braved it through the on slaughter to get to Jameson's this week. The Diving fraternity supported us very well with two huge parties, one to watch a rerun of the glorious victory by Joe Calzaghe, which not only pleased most in the pub, but I know as well that Sid Silk was delighted particularly as he had predicted exactly the right outcome, and a had a nice phone call from Wales favourite son Mike Watkins to celebrate the victory. The other Welsh Watkins Graham (also a favourite son of Wales) was dismayed to arrive at the pub at 10 o’clock. The predicted start of the fight to look up on the screen to see Joe Calzaghe hand being raised in victory, as the fight had started earlier than our calculations had allowed still Graham was happy to settle back with his Fish and Chips, and watch the replay. We actually replayed the fight four times last Sunday.
The youth policy of Jameson's has been in particularly fine form this week in the shape of Young Steve and Young Paul joined by my Jimmy, Ashley, Ian, Ray, and Ray, Stuart, Captain Steve (who as each week passes by gets more and more fire in his chest for the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive. Don't forget folks the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive will be holding their annual fair on Sunday 14th September, at the Diana Driving Range and Resort, starting at 10 o’clock. Jameson's will be running it's famous second hand book stall so while you are mouching about at home, and you realize you have hundreds of books lying around that you no longer need please bring them into Jameson's so we can sort them out, and get them ready for the fair, it's a great way of making money, you give us the books, we sell them and then we give the money to the kids, followed by the Jesters Care4Kids Party Night, at the pub Jameson's on Saturday 20th September, we already have Mike Gerrard and Pop's Pattaya All Stars plus special guests booked to play music for your good selves Paul Jackson and Andy Francis will be compeering the event, Woody and all the Jesters will be there, and of course running everything behind the scenes will be Ingrid our Toothfairy. The Auction finale takes place that night, and at present our auction site has just been updated by our man Ron Keeley, so have a look at the side link on this page (and many others) at our newly updated auction list. Captain Steve still has yet to play the joker card for this year’s grand raffle yet.

We have had lovely visits from all sorts of people Rony Fineman is rushing about al over the place. The Mighty Geoff Evans has given the Landlord a new pulse, Judi McNamara, was her lovely self on Sunday. Rick and Harpic have been bursting with enthusiasm as ever. It's Rick's Birthday weekend on Saturday and Sunday 10th and 11th May, more of this next week when we have settled on the events. Simon and Debbie came in for a lovely evening before running away from all the water. Jimmy Howard is also dashing about setting up the Chris Kays Memorial Rugby Pattaya Tens, as usual Jimmy has got everything under control, the only thing he needs from everybody else is to turn up at Horseshoe Point on Saturday and Sunday 3rd and 4th May to enjoy some spectacular rugby, and the full entertainment provided by Horseshoe Point. Fun for everyone, with loads of food and booze available to boot.
The Root of All Evil made a triumphant return, this week dragging along with him in his wake Blowfly and Hoser. Sadly yet again Malcolm has had to go back to work again, but at least that gives us all time to recover before his next visit. Talking of raving mad Dobsy was dishing out the tequilas with gay abandon on Sunday, I am writing this still felling the effects.

After the Chang Mai Sixes were yet again a great success, Landlord Kim Fletcher, and the man who has no fear of organization Maurice Bromley sit and talk cricket over a couple of wet ones

James is not hiding, he is actually trying to help promote Heineken

Kretch tries to see if it is true that if you push hard you can actually push your finger between the Landlord's ears

If you notice whilst in the pub that the window is missing behind Nova Table, no that has not been stolen as well! Steve Gormley the world's leading ice cutter is making us a new splendid piece of glass to put in its place, photos of the unveiling of this will be broadcast across the world. Nice to see Johnny Fox of the wonderful Q Cars come and join us for a few beverages on, Tuesday, but sadly it was goodbye to Andy and Paul for a little while.
Beware to the world this is what can happen to you if you score a Duck (or two) at the Chang Mai Sixes, as Max found out. Pictures courtesy of Bernard.

As you can see we have bought a new camera and on Wednesday night I was diving round the pub trying to take enough photos to at least give the diary a little colour. But my thanks go out to Ron Keeley, who dug deep and found some lovely photos from before, the ones of James and John, Linus and Terry Schofield the cricketer, and Bernard for his candid shots of Malaka's Duck Champion Max. But as ever good folk in the bar on Wednesday, Gap, Steve Graham, Terry Schofield, a pit stop from Jonny Fox of Q Cars, the return of Brian Abbott with some wonderful looking samples of his sisters wine (Thumbprint) which we will keep under wraps until the arrival back of Mr. Wine himself Richard Waller of the splendid World of Wines, whose pub wine list can be seen at the link on the side of this page. So we can have Richard's considered opinion on young Maggie's wine. Sean was in for a few Steve Hogi cracked under the pressure as usual, (soda water indeed).
Always nice to have Paul Slack in the bar, another person who is always smiling, a Happy Birthday this week coming up is Paul Powis on Sunday 27th. And yes Sid we did raise our glasses on St. Georges Day.
Have a fantastic week, Kim, Moo, and Rony.

What a line up Captain Steve Ponter the man with fire in his belly, for the Jesters Charity Drive 2008 (with this in mind do not forget the dates for the main events this year, the Fair will be on Sunday 14th September at the Diana Driving Range and Resort, followed by the Party Night at Jameson's on Saturday 20th September, on the Party Night there will be a stunning Charity Auction which can be checked out on the links at the side of this page. Steve has also just done another fantastic sponsorship deal with Glencore more details of this after the Jesters meeting next week). Bob the Builder Stuart and Jason
