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

Great week at Jameson's as we now look on beyond the Six Nations. Shelley Quirke's Fabulous Six Nations Fantasy League, brought a lot of fun to everybody involved. But I'm afraid I will not be able to announce the results until next week, as they are being held in Shelley's top secret vault until the Presentation party at Jameson's this week. But next week all will be revealed.
But what a cracking end to the Six Nations, nobody could of scripted that better. Pity somebody does not get the English girls Cricket team coach to show the boys how to do it. England World Champions at Cricket, not a headline I thought I would read this year.
The Premiership is literally hotting up both at the bottom and the top. As for Reading, well let's just say that it's is a very nervous time for all of the Reading Football Club's Supporters Society, Pattaya Division North.

Lots of good folk in the bar all week, Linus of course with his towel and big glass of beer, George and Fair Again, before George sets off on one of is world tours. Graham Watkins got himself the nickname long ago for his quick change of clothes act in the Jameson's gents, but now he has doubled that up by acting in a very Superman way last Saturday. Always good to see Malcolm Clare 'The Root of All Evil', Jimmy and Jenny Howard, my offsider Des Hall, Ian (Lady Di) Harrington, Simon Quigley, all of the Quirke's, with the Chris Kays Memorial Pattaya Rugby tens coming up in May Saturday and Sunday 2nd and 3rd. Raimonland again being the principal sponsors for more details look up the Pattaya Panthers own website at www.pattayapanthers.com. My Jimmy, the Slumdogs Young Steve and Raymondo Campbell, Bluebar Derek, Cricket Geoff coming in shaking his head. For those of you that miss the leader of the Jameson's Youth Policy Young Paul Dixon, good news Paul will be back with us within a month. The Woodentops, Judi McNamara, Rick and Harpic Bryant, Terry Schofield of No Fixed Abode, Richard and Maggie Waller with Ron, Weaw and James Keeley all of the wonderful World of Wines WOW. The Font of All Knowledge Graham MacDonald, Simon and Debbie Philbrook, still not off their honeymoon. Dennis and Lek of the best Laundry in the world, Jameson's Football Captain Brain Abbott. Long discussion around Nova Table when South Africa beat Australia at Cricket, mainly about how quiet Ian Dickson had gone all of a sudden.
The Formula One Motor Grand Prix Season gets under way this weekend with the Qualifying on Saturday and the Main Race on Sunday with the programs starting at 12 Noon each day. Iain Corness is of course jumping up and down with excitement and will be seen on his perch in the sports room a good hour before the events start making sure that everybody is informed, up to date, and ready. The Carvery at Jameson's will start early on Sunday at 12 Noon prompt. Jameson's Carvery has a selection of Roasts Turkey, Beef, loads of Pork with even more Crackling, Roast Chicken, Honey Glazed Ham, Roast Leg of Lamb, all the sauces to go with them, a fine selection of freshly cooked Vegetables, Soups, a Pasta Dish (this week it will be Vegetable Lasagna), a massive Salad Bar, Desserts, all for 375 baht as much as you can eat, for as long as you stay in the bar, toddlers are not charged and mini-adults 150 baht.
For further details of all of our sports schedule this week, please log onto our sports schedule page at the side of the page.
For anybody that has not booked up yet there are still a few spaces in the Inaugural Mike Franklin Memorial Charity Golf Tournament on Wednesday 1st April Mike's Birthday. Anybody interested in signing up had better be quick and log onto the site at www.mikefranklinmemorial.com where there is all the information.

A simply marvelous evening in Jameson's with the Shelley Quirke Fantasy League Six Nations Championship. Prizes galore. Even Landlord Kim Fletcher got one, as well as The Root of All Evil. The worthy winner was Irish Tom, which was very fitting. Shelley as ever did a marvelous job, and everybody had a good time, various highlights from the evening include the fact that Paul Baker beat Superman Graham Watkins, Kim and Harpic came 10th equal in the top half of the field even though they never bet on France. Simon Philbrook came up with some crackers during the night including new rules for next year which nobody understood. (I'm sure Shelley will sort this out). Best of all when Simon was asked if he had ever worn make-up he replied "No Never............................... Well there was that time I was dressed as Tina Turner!". Linus joined in the fun and had as much fun as anybody even though he had not actually been in the competition.
Have good week everybody enjoy the Mike Franklin Memorial Golf Tournament, and take care of yourselves. Kim, Rony, and Moo.

The Nova Gold Hotel gets closer and closer to being the fully fledged item. Col Powell has already booked his room, and The Scourge may well take up residence in November just after the Grand Opening

Kim Fletcher and Jameson's thoughts turn to the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009

The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive is coming up very quickly. Let me just remind you of the dates for the main events on Sunday 13th September 2009 is the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort, which this year looks like it is going to be even bigger and better this year than last (if that is possible). Kevin Mitch once again stepping into the breach, and doing all the organization in his usual brilliant military precision style. Now whilst talking about the Fair can I also remind everybody that Jameson's amongst other things, has a Used Book Stall at the Fair run by Judi McNamara. The Used Book Stall is always great fun and also raises a nice lot of money for the kids. It is simple logic. (A) You kindly donate to us all your old used books, which can be dropped off at Jameson's or TQ any time, the earlier the better so we can get them sorted. (B) You come to the Fair, and then buy a lot of good books at a cheap price, come early for the best selection. (C) We give all the money we raise to Kevin who hands it on to the Care4Kids Charity Drive. Easy.
The next event after the Fair is the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Party Night at Jameson's on Saturday 19th September 2009 which will feature Paul Jackson as our compeer, Music from Mike Gerrard, Rick and Harpic Bryant, and to bring us all to a Rockin' close Pop's Pattaya All Stars and assorted guests. On that night there will also be the arrival of Eric and Robert from their marathon Charity Bike Ride always an amazing feat of endurance, the climax to the Raffle and the fantastic Jesters Care4Kids Charity Auction. The Auction Site is up and running, with lots of good things up there already, all you have to do is click on the link on the left hand side of this page and you will be whisked into Ron Keeley of World of Wine Auction Site, there is plenty to look at and you might even fancy putting a bid in yourself. Plenty already have.
There are plenty of ways of helping the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009, Obviously by coming to the Fair, and the Party Night, making bids on the Auction Site, buying Raffle Tickets, buying T-Shirts, taking a Bumper Sticker for your car, taking and reading one of our brochures and showing them to other people (all available at Jameson's or TQ). If you would like to know some more right now please click on the link on the right hand side of the page for the Jesters Care4Kids and you will go on a journey to see all about us the website. It is regularly updated and is run by our Chairman, Lewis (Woody) Underwood, and our Webmaster David Smith, a very good Charity, run by some wonderful people, to help those less fortunate than others.

A few thoughts from our favourite Headmaster and ex-Jameson's Used book Stall Manager.

Dear Mr Fletcher,

I am somewhat disturbed by the paragraph below which I have copied from your latest Diary.

Now whilst talking about the Fair can I also remind everybody that Jameson’s, amongst other things, has a used book stall at the Fair run by Judi McNAmara. The Used Book Stall is always great fun and also raises a nice lot of money for the kids. It is simple logic. (A) You kindly donate to us all your old used books, which can be dropped off at Jameson’s or T.Q. any time, the earlier the better so we can get them sorted. (B) You come to the Fair, and then buy a lot of good books at a cheap price, come early for the best selection. (C) We give all the money we raise to Kevin who hands it on to the Care4Kids Charity Drive. Easy.

Under the “Advertising and Promotions Bill, 1984”, it is illegal to make false claims in any advertisement. If I understand the statements in your promotion above there may be several false claims.

I would question the following:

1. If books are dropped off at Jamesons does this mean they also get dropped off at the Fair. I understand that several cartons were dropped off on the corner of Second Road and Soi Diana one year as the Samlor rounded the corner!
2. For some people the ‘fun’ is looking for the bargains. Do all the best books actually arrive at the Fair, or are some of the more expensive ones distributed around the streets of Pattaya before the Fair starts?
3. If you arrive early, is the book stall always set up. I also understand that one year the person running the stall was sitting at the Fair while the books were all sitting at Shenanigans as the Fair opened. In their haste to get to the Fair some redistribution took place.
4. This does NOT suggest to me that getting books at the Care4Kids Charity drive is ‘easy’.

Please be warned that concerned citizens are watching your promotional material, and false advertising carries a heavy penalty. This citizen will agree to drop all potential charges against you provided you are prepared to supply him with alcoholic beverages on April 8th this year at Jameson’s, when he will be in the area and likely to call in.

Sincerely

Distressed Reader.

The script was born out of the male-version “The Odd Couple,” original Broadway play, Hollywood movie and subsequent TV series that featured Oscar Madison and Felix Unger. These two characters quickly became an
unforgettable part of American culture. However, Neil Simon’s more current, gender-switching rewrite outshines the original male version in many ways. First of all, the characters of Olive and Florence are more fully developed with an expanded range of emotions. Also, the relationship of the group of friends that meet each week has been broadened to reveal more of each character and their fondness for each other.

This play takes a look at friendship and how, through friendship, we often tolerate the eccentricities and foibles of those closest to us. It is very obvious that these friends who meet each week do so not merely to play Trivial Pursuit, but also to socialize, gossip and provide unconditional support for one another. Audience members should prepare for uproariously funny verbal jabs, idiosyncratic behaviors, and all-in-all out cat fights!

The two evening performances on Friday April 3rd and Saturday, April 4th will feature an optional buffet dinner component catered by the world-renowned chefs at The Amari Hotel. Tickets for adults will be 300 Baht (without dinner) and 1,000 Baht (inclusive of buffet). Children under 12 may attend the show for 200 Baht (without dinner) and 900 Baht (inclusive of buffet). Sunday, April 5th will be a matinee performance with no buffet available. Tickets can be
purchased through any board member, by e-mailing pattayaplayers@gmail.com or by stopping by the Amari Orchid Hotel lobby in North Pattaya. Seating is limited, but if space allows, tickets will also be available at the door each day of the production.

Now in the midst of their second successful year, the Pattaya Players are seeking out corporate and private sponsors to help them move forward throughout the new year. Please consider joining 2009 current sponsors: AA Insurance Brokers, Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, The Cavanaugh Community Center, Chevrolet, Indian By Nature, LCIT, Rabbit

Magazine and Pattaya Mail in helping the Pattaya Players to continue being premier creative arts organization in Pattaya!
