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

April is here the month of Songkran.
The Youth Policy have been running riot in Jamo's this week with Young Steve Page at the front of things. Pagey is saying he is going to give up drinking for April (Alcohol that is). By the time you read this it will be at least 3rd April and I firmly believe although the young mans intentions are good, he will have now failed in these intentions. Especially with Ray Campbell around, and the rest of the Youth Policy, and the Mighty Sam Peebles coming over the horizon. Brian Abbott has also given up drinking but apparently Irish Coffees and Draft Iced Heineken don't count. Linus has gone into Interstellar overdrive as he has only got a couple of days left. Malcolm Clare, The Root of All Evil has been as only The Root can, although he did show us some marvelous photos of his Father Peter Clare receiving the M.B.E.
Graham MacDonald as usual held court on Saturday setting up his own Font Table beside an already packed Nova Table. Good to see The Hash House Harriers Committee in Jameson's for their weekly meeting and of course splendid to see The Jesters Care4Kids Charity Drive members in for a meeting. Led by a very resourceful Woody, everything seems to be in capable hands. Always good to see Ian Harrington.
Formula One Motor Racing has started with a wonderful turn out of Petrolheads at Jameson's last Sunday led of course by Iain Corness. This week's Grand Prix will come from Malaysia and the lights go out at 4.00 p.m. Iain Corness will of course be right in the very front row, so please come early to get a good view of either the giant screen in the sports room, or the many other screens doted around the pub.

Don't forget on Sunday is Carvery and Buffet Day at Jameson's a wonderful big spread including a giant Salad Bar, Seafood, Soups, many different Roasts including Turkey, Leg of New Zealand Lamb, Baked Ham, Roast Beef with Yorkshire Pudding, Chicken, and the favourite Roast Pork with extra crackling, a fine selection of fresh Vegetables, several different sorts of Potatoes, all the sauces and dessert all for 375 Baht as much as you can eat. Looks like Sunday is a day not to miss, especially with the fine company round the bar.

Rony Fineman has let go his original Flagship 'The Nova Lodge Hotel' and very nicely we have all done out of it too. Now it's upwards and onwards with new ventures The Nova Gold Hotel next door to Jameson's is leaping ever skywards, and should be open in November 2009 (Yup that's right when Rony wants something done, he wants it done). In the mean time Rony is selling off the remainder of Nova Atrium and Nova Mirage, you can see all the facts and figures on this page. If anybody is interested please contact Moo or Kim at the Jameson's Office. Rony has also started out completely refurbishing the Nova Park Residential Suites. Out have gone all the old T.V.s from the bedrooms to be replaced by new plasma ones, good old Rony then donated all the old T.V's so that each member of staff got a new T.V. set. Good Boss Rony. Next in line Rony will change all the T.V's in the living rooms, then re-carpet, then Marble surround's for all the bathrooms and kitchens, and who knows what else Rony will come up with. It certainly is not boring being Rony's partner. Hopefully everything will be ready by the time Paul Dobbs gets here. This weekend we are looking forward to a couple of long time stalwarts in the arrival of Sid Silk and Ken Sly.
Always great to see Richard and Maggie Waller, and of course the Keeley Family, Ron, Weaw, and James, from the fabulous World of Wines. WOW. Enough waffle from me this week, better let Moo get on with the real work, Have a good week, Kim, Rony and Moo.

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.

It is with real sadness that I have to tell you all about the sad death of Aoi (Malinee Rattanajid) who a lot of us have known for many a long year, right back to the Check Inn days on Sukhumvit Road. Fortunately for me, she soon saw sense and moved across the road to become part of the Jools Staff. Having been headhunted into Jools by Yim she became part of the A-Team, and part of the best bunch of Staff to ever run Jools if not any Bar in Bangkok, a golden era then ensued for Jools, with so many great stories that they cannot all be put on one page. But the Sinking Boat on Loy Katong, and all scampering up a tree when Aoi organized a trip down to Silom Park to go and drink Snake's Blood, and one of the Snakes got loose, or the day that Joan Jett came into Jools and was immediately taken under Aoi's wing, are among the ones that instantly spring to mind.
Aoi then went on to run Jools for a few years, before she switched sides of the Bar, as she was whisked away by Geoff. The escapades did not stop then by any means, wonderful lunch parties at fantastic Seafood Restaurants chosen by Aoi, with uncountable bottles of wine, and great food. With Aoi keeping an eye on us all, as we staggered around enjoying ourselves. Whenever Aoi came into Jameson's it was a star event with all the girls gathering around Aoi, with her having to move to bigger and bigger tables to accommodate all her friends as they came in.
Aoi also became my children's long time Friend, and Mentor, well they certainly listened to her more than they did their Dad. Quite what Tracy, Geoffrey, and Rosemary are going to do without her I have no idea, but without her guiding light it is certainly going to be tough for them.
Here is a lovely photo of Aoi in her element on the beach, taking care of my son Geoffrey, food all around her, and a half empty wine glass in front of her. There are also a couple of photos of Aoi from her Jools days.
Aoi died far too young, and will leave a massive void in many peoples life’s. All of our thoughts are with Aoi's Friends and Family.

Aoi's Cremation will be held at Wat Tham Samakee at 3.00 p.m.

Kim

Thank you for letting me know! This indeed is very sad News, I will call Rin and let her know as well. Aoi was a very good friend back in the day, she was sweet and funny and always had my back…and I am reminded how much I miss that time and those people..you people… Please pass on my sentiments to Geoff and to All who knew ‘weasel’s sister’. Life is too short to let this kind of time slip away… I need to make good my threats and come home soon!

I am sorry not to have a good quip or anecdote to share with all, as I just walked in from a long early morning shift but she will be in my thoughts tonight.

Moaya

This was such a lovely e-mail from Elizabeth, I just had to print it. I am glad you had a nice night Elizabeth and I hope to see you soon. Kim

Dear Kim,
A short ‘Thank you’ note to you and your staff for an enjoyable birthday celebration.

I was at your pub with my husband and our family last Saturday, 28th March 2009. It was a belated birthday celebration (my actual birthday is 25th March) as the kids had school and we wanted to ‘drink’ and sleep in on Sunday !

The food was wonderful, the service exceptional and of course, the surprise cake and sparkling were just ‘great’….

You can be sure we will be regulars now. Our very first visit was just a day before on the 27th where we had dinner (just my husband and I) as we wanted to check out if the venue was good for the kids, and we were so taken with the place and the staff; and immediately booked a table for the next day!

Most probably you will see us again as soon as this Thursday …..!

Thanks again to all,
Liz Brown

Alan has very good taste in music, so I am sure this will be worth a listen.

Subject: Pixie Lott's first single on Radio 2

Hi Guys

Here's a link to my friend Pixie's first ever air play on BBC Radio 2 of her first single Mama Do, due to be released on the 11th May. Fast forward to 1 hour 6 minutes to hear it http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00jg735

I first heard her demo's just over 2 years ago and was absolutely blown away with how mature and soulful her voice was and she was only 16 at the time !

Her Album 'Turn It Up' is out on the 17th August and has loads of great tracks on it, Cry Me Out and My Way (If I Changed) in particular are going to be huge hits!

She has the music press in the UK in a spin at the moment all saying she's going to be the next big thing, already comparing her to another Duffy ! If you have a few minutes read this write up in the Times http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article5808005.ece

Do yourselves a favour and have a listen to Pixie at her My Space site http://www.myspace.com/pixiesongs If you like her songs, please help spread the word for her.

Cheers
