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

Plenty of sport on the telly again this weekend, Golf, Cricket, Premiership Football, and of course the return of the Six Nations Rugby tournament, there are two games for our delectation on Saturday night, but we will not be showing the France vs. Wales game on Friday night due to it being way past the Landlord's bedtime and Friday is a ridiculous day to play rugby anyway.
F.C Nova Football team are again in the field again on Saturday and will be meeting at 12.30 p.m. in the Jameson's bar, we are still a couple of players short of being at full strength, so any likely lad who fancies a bit of a kick about please let us know.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, and I was sad to see my little Slave Girl Iris taken from me this week as she had proved such a jolly good Umpire's Helper during the Cricket, but no doubt our paths will cross again soon. The Magnificent Seven from Geordie Land, Colin, Alan, Mark, Angus, Davey, Lanky and Big Mark, have now whittled down from the Magnificent Seven, to the Famous Five, Then the Fantastic Four, to The Dynamic Duo to sadly by the time you read this The Invisible Man. Let's wait for the annual Thailand Pilgrimage next year. It was great whilst it lasted lads, and we still have enough Geordie's here to keep the Flag Flying in Young Steve, RayC, and Derek Hunter.
This weekend will definitely be devoted to Rugby (with Kim hoping to come off the bottom of the Eoin Quirke Prediction League). Whilst Sunday night will belong to Football with what used to be called the League Cup on the Television. Please look up our Sports Page for full details and times of all televised sports.
Don't forget our Set Menu now changes regularly so any suggestions you have for the menu will gladly be welcomed, (as long as Charlie and Matt from Asia/West can supply it). Of course this week it's a double change with the Weekly Menu changing and the Monthly Menu. Although I don't expect there to be too many changes to the Monthly Menu this time, short month February.
