Diary No. 219 Week of 18th May 2009 - 24th May 2009 Updated 28th May 2009
F.A Cup Final Saturday 30th May Well a whole year has whizzed by, and here we are ready for another F.A. Cup Final, this Saturday 30th May at 9.00 p.m. Jameson's is without doubt one of the best places in Pattaya to watch the game. It will be televised on our Big Screen, all three giant 42'' Plasma Screens and another 14 T.V's in the pub. So wherever you are you can get a good view and watch all the action. Last week was a fine week with wonderful visits from some of the nicest and most amusing people Sid Silk, Ian Harrington, Big Dave Hoyle (who still likes to be called Big Dave, but he a mere half the man he used to be). Lars Fieste, Geoff Evans, Frank and Frank, (Just Frank and Nobody) John, Dai and Porn Coe, Simon Philbrook, The Bryant's Rick and Harpic, Brian Abbott, Copper, Daren Collins of Lazi Pig fame, Rob, The unstoppable Malcolm Clare 'The Root of All Evil', Captain Steve Ponter, Happy Birthday to Johny Live, Ray Matti, Mark Gorda, Young Steve, RayC, Kobi, Fineman's all.
Nova Table stumbles into Friday night with Moo getting in on the action, Bouncer Geoff Evans (with fondest regards to Boro Steve), Kim (Slumdog) Fletcher, and a very 'Happy Root of All Evil' Malcolm Clare. When Malcolm is that happy you just know he is up to something Frank ('Nobody' as in Nobody is perfect) a tired Geoff Evans, Kim, Dai and Porn, on their orders to 'Get Ready, Set, Go' Paul and Aum prop up the Bar very nicely at Jameson's Peter Malhotra takes a break Young Steve Page and his lovely Daughter Dai starts to think that life was easier in the Desert Dai and John Coe share a glass or two Eli Fineman moves into Peters Arm's John Coe, Wayne Organoski, and Dai Coe remember the good old days Frosty in full flight on Friday night aided and abetted by Young Steve, RayC, and Lola The Gang hang out at the Bar Lady Di of Harrington, Wayne Organoski (Blowfly), Dai and John Coe A very welcome visit from Mr. Led Zeppelin himself Lars. Lars then got on the phone and terrorised Simon Edmonds	Dai and Porn Coe, Dai is back to visit and is causing his normal Mayhem around the Bar. Got word this week that Bob Davies will be coming to stay at Nova Park, and take up a movable role at Jameson's in Mid June. So all in all things are looking up Peace breaks out at the Bar The always always smiling Bjorn Kobi, takes a move from Peter's Arms (A Pub within a Pub in Jameson's) and his dinner Tracy Fletcher comes to visit It was like Jools reunited at Jameson's on Friday night with Tommy, Big Dave, Kim, Rob, and Geoff all tucking away a few drinks You have got to eat, and there is no better place to do it than Jameson's What a very nice Jesters Care4Kids T-Shirt Paul Strachan is wearing. Kim, Rob, and Geoff all discuss Paul's T-Shirt. Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive T-shirts are now for sale in Jameson's. The Big Event is rushing up upon us. This year the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive Fair will be on Sunday the 13th September, at our favourite location the Diana Driving Range and Resort starting at 10.00 a.m. Please remember that Jameson's is running a Used Book, DVD and CD stall. We are currently collecting all things for our Used but Nice Stall that will again this year be run by Judi McNamara. If you have any items that you would like to donate, please bring them into either Jameson's or Tahitian Queen. It really is a good cause of Revenue for the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive and it also helps the British Legion who will have a tent right next door to ours at the Fair run by Tropical Bert, and it also helps out the P.I.L.C as anything that is left afterwards is passed on for a stall at The P.I.L.C Bizarre at the Royal Cliff Hotel in October. So your old books, DVD's and CD's can really do some good. The sooner we can get our hands on them the better, as we can get them all sorted out (when I say we of course I mean Judi). Following the Fair it is the Jesters Care4Kids Party Night at non other than Jameson's with music, dancing, comedy, the Grand Raffle, and of course the culmination of the Auction. The Auction is now up and running, all you have to do is click on the link on the left hand side of this page. You might even see something you want to bid on
Kim's Progress on the world outside Jameson's Work continues on the new Temple wall (Wat Tai He). Really beautiful, and the Artist's doing the work are all so cheerful John and Nat at the beginning of another year at school Photos taken by Bjorn
Great having Little Big Dave down for the weekend, starting with a fine lunch at Bruno's then going rapidly downhill after that with everyone trying to remember what happened the previous evening. I have a very clear memory of 'The Root of all Evil' keeping a very keen eye on Dave's consumption of The Root's preferred tipple Port. As usual Neil Sandilands appears to have been the last one to leave the pub on most nights. The Heineken Rugby Cup Final was well attended by The Panthers, including Damo, Jimbo Howard, Simon Philbrook, Eoin and Shelley Quirke, Lisa Lurve was there in spirit, and our great mate Mickey Price of T-shirt fame. Sad weekend last weekend for the North East as two of their mighty teams skidded down now we will just have to work out how to watch the Coca-Cola Championship next year. Let's hope for a better showing from the British Lions and the English Cricket Team. That is off course unless you are South African or like Young Brian, an Ian Dickson and are Australian (which from my limited knowledge seems to be the more likely of choices. It was really nice on Sunday to see our good friend Judi McNamara with her friend Elena. Judi is hot to trot as ever, and is Gung Ho to get the Jameson's Care4Kids Jesters book, DVD and CD Stall ready. So all we need is for you to drop us off your spare Books, DVD's and CD's. Simon Quigley one of our chief sponsors last year is on the case. Have a good week, Kim.
A Very Happy Derek I would guess that Root and Big Dave are up to no good, in this photo It's always nice to see somebody you like Kevin, John and Geoff A bit of Dai with John and Neil Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive Supporters Copper and Brian Abbott the very famous Jameson's Football Captain A fine figure of a man Ian (Lady Di) Harrington, looks good in his casual Pink T-Shirt Try counting the drinks on Nova Table (no wonder Mosquito Bill told us to build it strong) sitting at the table are Brian Abbott, Daren Collins, Burnley Simon, Little Big Dave, Kim and Dai Coe Sitting on the stage for dinner A table all of their own Burnley Simon pops up around the side of Frank Dinner for four please Root and Frank No really it's Ray Matti, not Tufty Neil Sandilands Bike It's Sunday night and the sports room starts getting busy for the night of high drama. Most were coming into get good seats with the good Doctor 'Iain Corness' for the Formula One Race 9 Most of us thought that during the Race way to much attention to the cars going round in circles when there was clearly some good shots to be had of the boats out in the Harbour that by chance had some pretty stunning girls on them. You can also see a rare T.. Screen in the background of the England Cricket team thrashing the West Indies Dr. Iain Corness (the nearly retired Racing Driver) arrives and the serious Formula One stuff starts up, Iain Is accompanied by his Right hand man peter and a Hoard of other Diesel heads The now famous Jameson's first class Carvery with Soups, Salads, Pies, Pasta's Special dishes, Roast Turkey, Ham, Beef, Pork with Crackling, New Zealand Lamb, an assortment of Potato dishes, Freshly cooked Vegetables, Deserts and all the trimmings. All for 375 Baht as much as you can eat, or 150 Baht for the Kids If you don't fancy the Carvery, there is also Jameson's huge A La' Carte Menu to choose from Derek's Mob, ho by the sounds of things had a great time on Sunday night regardless of the sport, Derek is naturally in the foreground with Avy and Ian, Joan and Ian and Jameson's Pin Up girls, Derek's girlfriend Sa Newcastle leak a goal and the whole Pub gives up abstinence, and turns to a B52 bombing raid reminded me of when John Vinyard is here	The Pluto, Wooden Tops, from Foster Wheeler after a hard week's work come into Jameson's for a couple of hours R&R. Always fun on Friday's Preparations for the Heineken Cup Final last Saturday Blowfly and Quarter Pounder with Cheese Neil and John Morning Pen Before the madness it is nice to sit down with friends and get some food and a bit of banter Daren Collins proud new Father, and The SECOND best Landlord in Pattaya...... Well the first if you Support the Boro Muffy's table, but no Muffy Takes more time to read the menu than it does to eat it. Out to worry they all made good choices The Jameson's Sports Room a great place to watch sports especially with the F.A Cup Final coming up this Saturday, and then in June The Cricket 20/20 World Cup followed by the Ashes Neil Sandilands is convinced he has got this situation under control Simon thinking about Monday night and the Championship Play Off Final Mark Gorda and Frank Happy Birthday to everybody's favourite Hairdresser Johny Live, seen here celebrating with all the staff and friends Dave is in his lucky place to watch the Formula One Grand Prix This man was here from start to finish for the World Cup of Rugby Tens on Sunday proving the point that in Jameson's we can show all the sports all at the same time. On Sunday night we showed The Formula One, the entire game of England thrashing the West Indies at Cricket (just had to say that again), 7 different Premier League games, and the World Cup Rugby 7's. Apart from a few Neck injuries no other casualties reported As the Football results start not going our way the B52's come out. I personally blame Bjorn Hiding the agony with great grace Tommy and Young Steve Page. Frosty looks on from the side RayC could be the new Newcastle manager next year

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.
