Diary No. 224 Week of 22nd June 2009 - 28th June 2009 Updated 2nd July 2009
The end of The Lions Dream, but the start of the Landlord Loving Aussie Rules Well............. Although it was nice to have three games of Rugby to watch on Saturday. Perhaps from a British and Irish Lions fans point of view, things were not exactly ideal. I mean it's a bit hard to swallow a win by the All Blacks, followed by an easy (well they made it look easy) for the Aussies, followed by that kick at the end of 80 minutes of Rugby between the South African Springboks, and the British and Irish Lions. Still that's sport. I certainly think that 'The Font of All Knowledge' Graham MacDonald, and 'The Ratcatcher' Jimmy Howard maybe regretting their decision to be over in South Africa, as I know that the Lions are now casting their net wide for a couple of good props. This weekend we will be showing the third and last of the South African Springboks vs. the British Lions Test Match's at 8.00 p.m. on Saturday 4th July. To cheer all of the Boys up we will also be showing the Women's Wimbledon Tennis and with the Men's following on Sunday. It's been amazing this year with hardly any rain at all at this years Wimbledon, the first with the much vaunted Roof. But you can bet your bottom dollar the rain gods are just saving it all up for the upcoming Ashes Cricket Series between Australia and England. Do not fear Jameson's will show every rain drenched minute of it on the big screen with soundtrack (even if the Aussies look like winning!).
Lots of lovely people in this week, including the Bryant's, Rick, Harpic, Paige and Abbi, Shelley and Eoin Quirke, (whose daughter Bekky was a dynamic Central Defender in the monthly Horseshoe Point kick about, whilst the Landlord was a rather less than Pathetic Goalkeeper). The wonderful Geoff Evans who sadly has gone back to work, but we get him back for the Jesters Fair on Sunday September the 13th 2009 at the Diana Driving Range and Resort. Geoff bought The Landlord a present for his up coming Birthday, and once Ron Keeley has told him how to use it. Rock 'n' Roll heaven will ensue. Kim Fletcher Landlord of Jameson's will be celebrating his 53rd Birthday on July 25th this year. What the Landlord would really like as birthday presents this year are all your Old Books, DVD's and CD's to sell at the Care4Kids Jesters Fair on Saturday 13th September at the Diana Driving Range and Resort. The Jameson's Used Book Stall is a great way to earn money for the kids, as you give us the Books, DVD's and CD's and we sell them and give all the money to the Care4Kids Charity Drive, books etc can be dropped off at The Pattaya Mail Office, Tahitian Queen, Tropical Bert's and of course Jameson's. Everything gratefully accepted. Like I say lots of great people in during the week, the afore mentioned Geoff Evans, Mr. and Mrs. McTighe, The Youth Policy lead by Pagey (Steve Page), RayC, Cricket Geoff (young at heart). Honest John, KC, Kevin Frost, Sean, Big Jim, and Shampoo, The Bangkok Aussie Rules Tigers, Iain Corness and family. Pattaya's sexiest man Paul Strachan, The Keeleys Ron, Weaw, and James of the wonderful World of Wines. Thommo and the Boys from the Light House who had a marvelous do on Friday. Judi McNamara. Pop who has opened his own bar on Third Road called 'Pops'. Jack Levy, my golf partner in the Bad Guys Simon and his beautiful wife Debbie, Steve and Pete of the Good Guys (they are Good Guys, but have noticed how often Good Guys are losers). I went out and played Golf with Fleming this week and the course beat us, although we had a really good time. Captain Steve (Jester Care4Kids) Ponter with his full entourage and family. The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Committee, including John, Woody, Wild Bill, Peter Malhotra, Judi McNamara, and the afore mentioned Debbie. Looking forward to the arrival of Bupa Bob this week, Bob always kicks the Pub into a new stratosphere. The Pattaya Hash House Harriers weekly meeting was held in it's usual boisterous manner. Talking of Manor's Sam Peebles is back in his. Dennis and Lek really do have the finest laundry in town with a drop off point at Jameson's. Well that's it from me this week, time to let Moo get on with it and try and sort out the mess of bits that give her. Rony Fineman and family are off on their holidays, and we wish them a great vacation as Rony will have a lot on his hands when he gets back as The new Nova Gold Hotel right on Jameson's doorstep opens in November (the new home of Mottman). Mark 'Thommo' Thompson, he leading Light of the Light House	The Light House Charity Organization held a Networking Night at Jameson's on Friday 26th June 2009. It was well attended and fun was had by all. Food and Drinks provided by Nova Group and Jameson's
During discussions on Wednesday night around the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive meeting. A sponsored Marathon was mooted. Sounded like a good idea to all. Until The Landlord suddenly realised they were all talking about it being him that was the object of the idea. Before I knew what was going on I had agreed. Not the full Marathon, but a half Marathon in The Pattaya Marathon on Sunday 19th July. "Is this wise?" I enquired. "Of course it is!" said Simon and Debbie Philbrook to name names. So now I am looking for pledges for my Marathon attempt. Next week there will be a sponsorship form on the diary for anybody generous enough to sponsor me, and bets will also be taken with all proceeds going to Charity (the Jesters Care4Kids). If I don't finish I pay if I do finish those that have bet I won't finish pay. I have to be able to start, and no pushing me over at the finish line. All will be revealed next week, after further negotiations with the Pattaya Mails Paul Strachan. I must say though that this week's meeting with both the Pattaya Hash House Harriers, and the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive, were really good for the heart with everybody showing a very positive attitude to the present circumstances (What High Season?) great in particular to see so many people at the Hash House Harriers meeting, and fantastic to welcome back Judi to the Jesters Care4Kids Committee, and welcome in Bernie Tuppin, both of whom I am sure will make a huge difference. Well done all. Have a good week, Rony, Moo, and Kim.
Yes believe your eyes. Derek, and Sa are seen here at their Wedding reception, in Jameson's Fun at Jameson's on a Friday night Last Saturday night the Thailand Tigers Aussis Rules Team led by Andy, gave a magnificent display of after match festivities. Destroying not only the Jameson's Carvery, but then putting a huge hole in the Jameson's beer stock. Well done lads great party. See you all again next year The real Bambi story as Kim takes into his own hands Bjorn's misbehaviour Due to the Landlord's dereliction of duty Bjorne fought back with a round of Tequila's and the staff had to suffer as well Soft Ball, Quick Cricket, and Football al at Horseshoe Point every last Sunday of the month organized by Rick Bryant. Marvellous fun. (Pretty Girls too) Rick Bryant, who finally found his Softball People running! George and Fair Again make a welcome return to Jameson's, and once gain the cry went up. What George AGAIN Happiness in Jameson's on a Sunday night A new golfing alliance Fleming and Kim at Eastern Star A picture of Happiness. Captain Steve (Care4Kids Jester) with the Fat Landlord, Kim Fletcher and the wonderful Keeley Family Ron, Weaw, and James. Ron is the Head Man in World of Wines. To find out more about World of Wines the only Charitable Wine Company in Pattaya, please click on the link on this page or come and try any of the wines in Jameson's all of which come from World of Wines Mr. Jester Woody and Captain Steve (Jester Care4Kids) Ponter Jack and Steve Ponter. This boy Jack is gonna be a star. Steve already is The Nova Gold rockets up. Incredible to think that was just a tiny little car park this time last year. Nice one Rony	Pork Ribs at Jameson's The fabulous Rick and Harpic Bryant Vic Wilkie looks on On Saturday night even the pool table s had to be pressed into service as Eateries The British and Irish Lions are playing the Second Test and nobody had better interrupt the concentration A crowded Nova Table on Saturday battles on with Fleming, Captain Brian Abbott, The Mighty Bouncer Geoff Evans (hello to Boro Steve), Big Jimmy and Shampoo, and of course the Olfd fellah the Landlord Frosty in full flight Frosty and Captain of Football and old round good guy Brian Abbott discuss the merits of the upcoming English Football Season, both the Premiership and the Championship Leagues After a few shooters of Tequila all of a sudden the bar staff at Jameson's are not looking quiet so enthusiastic about their work. Seen here are Charm, Guitar, the lovable J.J, and the not so lovable Bob The Soccer bit of the afternoon with photos taken by the Goalkeeper It's all serious stuff. Exhibit A Harpic’s bruise (apparently done ridin') The Goalkeeper's defense organized by Paige Bryant, and the terror of the opposition Beccy Quirke My Mate the mighty Geoff Evans on his last night in the Pub for a couple of months. Geoff will be back for the Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive Fair at the Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday 13th September 2009, where Geoff will be helping out at The Used Book Stall, The Auction Stall, The Grand Raffle Stall, Pop's Cool Zone Music Workshop, and more noticeably at the Beer Stall (where he has the most impact drinking). Geoff was very concerned that Landlord Kim, would get bored on his long flight back to England in September so in a great gesture bought the Landlord his first iPod as a first Birthday Present. Extremely generous. Kim will be celebrating his Birthday on Saturday 25th July. These 30th Birthday's keep whizzing round. On the subject of Birthday's and Children's Charity Drives, Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 etc. What Landlord Kim Fletcher would really like for his Birthday this year is your Old Books, DVD's, and CD's to sell at our Used Book Stall at this year's Care4Kids Charity Drive 2009 Children's Fair on Sunday 13th September 2009 starting at 10.00 a.m. As with all these things in the terrible year of recession we need all the help we can get from everybody. The Jameson's Used Book Stall now in its 12th year is a marvellous way of raising money for the children. You give us all your Used Books, and bring them to The Pattaya Mail Office, or Tropical Bert's, or Tahitian Queen, or of course Jameson's. We then sort them all out, and then sell them back to you at the Fair. We then give all the money we raise to the Care4Kids Charity Dive. Easy and a great way to raise much needed money A special table has now been set aside for the newly married loving couple Derek and Sa, ladies and gentlemen I give you Derek and Sa McTighe Pictures of the Pattaya Mail taking pictures of the Jameson's Staff advertising the Jesters Care4Kids T- Shirts The best news of the night two new Jesters Care4Kids Committee Members. The Legendary Bernie Tuppin, and my old mate The Bar of Soap Judi McNamara Further painting goes on, on my favourite wall. Steve and Peter were blown away last week as we drove past, when they realised this beautiful wall is really in a small very little used back Soi
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.
