Wonderful Times Lots of good things going on this week, and many good memories from last week. Ian (Lady Di) Harrington our Executive, Deputy, Assistant, Trainee, Junior, Manager, has had to double up on his duties this week, as our Roving Ambassador Mark Stubbs has been away roving. Nice to have our boxing expert Sid Silk in the bar although he was very unimpressed by the Heavyweight Championship Fight last weekend (Sid during his own professional career he assures me would of mullered both these blokes at the same time. Rick, Harpic, Jake, Paige, and Abbi, have been dashing about as ever. The Bryant's are organizing another soft ball game (why they call it soft ball I have no idea, it's like trying to catch a very large rock, and when it hits you on the leg.........well, then it definitely is not a soft ball). But meet up at Jameson's at about 12.30 for a bit of team tactics, and then again up to Hoseshoe Point for about 2.30 for picking of the teams and the game itself. There is a map of how to get to Horseshoe Point on the Pattaya Panthers page at the side of this page. Everybody is welcome, young, old, girls, boys, even Fat Old Landlords.
Radio Disc Jockey for Wave 88 Radio Paul Jackson receives his Certificates of Appreciation for compeering the Jesters Party Night at Jameson's The Irish Pub, Pattaya for the last three years, 2005, 2006, 2007. It's not that the certificates have not been ready. It's only because although Paul is one of the best Radio Disc Jockey's around, somehow his memory tends to let him down when leaving Jameson's. This time Fat Landlord Kim Fletcher gave him his Certificates of Appreciation when he arrived Always smilin' always building Jameson's own Bob the Builder. The Young Family Everywhere you look there is a Quirke. Fantastic shirt modelled by Eoin Quirke, I think it is four shirts in one, no maybe 5	Three beautiful girls in a row Moo (Pornthip) Manageress of Jameson's with Ice and Tai Kennedy Ice Kennedy tells Dad John Kennedy not to drink so much, which seems a little unfair as it is John (J.K) Kennedy's 11th Birthday today 29th February The complete Bob the Builder set James, Stuart, Sophie and Moo Young
On a sporting note Denis and Lek who have their own Laundry business, just down the Soi from Jameson's, (Denis and Lek's Laundry are now the official laundry service, for The Pattaya Panthers and Panties, and The Pattaya City Football team. Many good people at the bar, Sam Peebles, Brian Abbott, Paul and David Dobbs, T-Shirt Shaun, the complete set of Bob the Builder in the Young Family, Paul Strachan the sexiest man in Pattaya, The Franklins all, even a nice visit from Sean, Simon and Debbie, Richard and Maggie Waller who came in on Friday to sort out the definitive new Jameson's wine list, and then proceeded to drink Jameson's present stock dry with a little help from a few others I will admit, the poor old Fat Landlord Kim Fletcher nearly collapsed. The other good news is that Ron Keeley has joined the World of Wines, so hence forth Ron will have a name change to Wow, so it will be Wow and Weaw Keeley. More of this as we find out, but a quick look at The World of Wines website should soon tell everybody that Ron has joined. Jimmy Mike, has been in to watch the cricket mostly with his head in his hands, good job he is not the England wicket keeper he would drop it. Jimmy Howard, The Payne's all, Rich Wibrow, Ben, Terry Schofield of 'No Fixed Abode', Ian, Geordies Darren and Chris, Derek (who The Landlord had been calling David for about 6 months), Lewis (Woody) Underwood on Jesters Business, Tony Malhotra, B.J and Noi, Bob, Rony Fineman (Mr. Nova), keeping our stocks of Cranberry juice turning over. Thanks to Colin Powell for the set list from the latest Ian Hunter Concert. The wonderful Geoff Evans, who should be given some sort of medal from the bottled Heineken people, Ray Matti and Curly Wurly are still up on the lakes, and who can blame them. Graham and Jay are back from honeymoon, but are trying to catch up with what they left behind, (we might get to see the wedding photos one day!). Young Paul and Young Steve are normally athletically keeping part of the bar propped up. Good to see Paul Jackson, and Gavin from Flannigan's. Linus has been using his local as a well local really. Johny Live has been dashing between Bangkok and Jameson's. Spoke to Bangkok, Woody during the week he was well impressed by the Jameson's in Bangkok. Please remember to put a date in your diary for the Jesters Charity Drive 2008 main events the Fair itself on Sunday 14th September at the Diana Driving Range and Resort followed the next Saturday 20th September by the Jesters Party Night at good old Jameson's or more details look up our weekly updated Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive on this page.

Fame at last for Rosemary Powis receiving an award from the Alpine Garden Society, Rosemary has also made several bids on our Jesters Charity Drive Auction site Here is a review of Ian Hunter's acoustic gig in Aberdeen Scotland last week, Thanks Colin. ----- Original Message ----- From: Colpowell57@aol.com To: ningkim@ptty.loxinfo.co.th Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 2:53 PM Subject: Aberdeen gig... Well, it was absolutely fantastic, in my opinion. The venue itself was the most unusual that I have been to in that I was actually sitting at a table only a few feet away from the band while they played. Sitting down ? At an IH gig ? And yet, it was just great........ The Tunnels in Aberdeen is a very intimate gig - and there were not that many people there at all. Maybe 100, although I didn't do a head count !! 1. where do you all come from 2.big mouth 3.wash us away 4.following in your footsteps 5.the other man 6.scars 7.soul of america 8.i wish i was your mother 9.shrunken heads 10.rain 11.sons and lovers 12.sweet jane 13.irene wilde 14.ships 15.letter to britannia 16.honaloochie boogie 17.how's your house 18.wasted 19.once bitten twice shy 20.when the world was round 21.all the young dudes The gig itself was great. The sound was really good and Ian's voice had a great quality to it. Backing vocals from Steve and James were also great. For my part it was just great to hear some of the above songs played live again. Col.
