Kim Fletcher's famous weekly pub diaries at Jameson's started with the first publication Wednesday, January 26th, 2005. Each Thursday night, local time, a new diary will be uploaded for your viewing pleasure.
Please send the weekly Pub Diary as a PDF doc to this e-mail address: |
St. Patrick's Day is here again, as you get older and older have you noticed that the years just seems to whiz round with a dash of Auld and Singe, Whiskey in The Jar, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and that's your lot, and every year it gets quicker and quicker. It has already become just a blur to Lady Di and Landlord Kim Fletcher.
This St. Patrick's Day
will be a very sporting one as it coincides with the final day of the
Rugby Six Nations, and
all is to play for. Especially as the Panthers
Sweepstake comes to its conclusion Shelley
Quirke has done a marvelous job of organizing all this,
and a real roller coaster ride it has been especially for some of us.
Graham 'Superman' Watkins, and Kim 'The
Landlord' Fletcher are at the moment grappling for the
wooden spoon the full results will be revealed next week. The
Cricket World Cup has also started giving us many late
nights plus of course there is a full schedule of football games, and
on Sunday at the unearthly
hour of 10 o'clock in
the morning is the Australian Formula
One Grand Prix, with Pattaya's
leading Racing Correspondent Dr. Iain
Corness taking centre stage in the sports room with
his gang. Please look at our sports schedule for all the relevant times
and dates.
A truly wonderful weekend of fun at Jameson's last weekend saw many people clustered around the bar, in the sports room avidly watching the sport or taking over the library area. Mike Watkins rallied the Welsh for the big push against Italy alas to little avail, but they took the defeat with great grace considering the behavior of the English referee. Helping the Landlord run the bar this week has been Mr. Ian (Lady Di) Harrington. Jameson's new roving Ambassador Mark Stubbs, (as well as our computer wizard) Jameson's answer to Harry Potter, Alex, Andy McTighe, (and a very Happy Birthday to you Andy). Class of 56 very special mates. Terry Schofield of North Shore Real Estate, and his trustee sidekick Ben, The Bryant's of course paid several visits with friends Jan and Phil and we all got involved in a rather ambitious game of spoof. So we had Rick, Harpic, Jake (who scored four goals for the Pattaya Football Club Steve keep an eye out for this lad could be a big help to you next season if you manage to scrape enough points together to stay in the Premiership. But do not forget my agents fee).
Graham MacDonald The Font of All Knowledge's Quiz on Saturday night went down very well, and was one by a group of French lads, which was by one of some sort of compensation for Sunday night and for sure the competition will be repeated again next Saturday. J.K whizzed in and out of town, nice to see Rich Wibrow in one piece and gallantly going to the gym every day. Ray Matti and Curly Wurly have headed off to the Islands to get some form of training in ready for the Chang Mai Sixes at the end of the month. Jason, Nui and Leo Payne have been whizzing in and out as have the Franklin's. Sid Silk has kept us all amused with the most outrageous jokes Tony who is really enjoying the new wines from Richard and Busters World of Wines. We have now got some auction items in for the Jesters Pub Night at Jameson's this year. We now have the actual suit that was worn by Roger Jenkins when he won the World Power Boat Racing championships. But I will get a full list of everything we have so far after the next Jesters meeting this month and publish them weekly on the website.
Kim and Andy sit underneath the Japanese lucky house card sent to Jameson's
from Tomita
Graham (Superman) Watkins with Eoin and Shelley Quirke. Graham is just
Superman whilst Eoin is The Pattaya Panthers Rugby Captain and the lovely
Shelley has organized this year’s rugby sweep stake which has been
great fun although Superman and The Landlord are bringing up the rear
at the moment. The Landlord having the French to win again by fifty points
did not help his cause much!
Stuart Young tries to slip having his photo taken and fails
Mike Watkins has been
more than generous this year with rooting out some splendid items for
us to auction off for the Care 4 Kids
Charity. Steve Ponter
has put his head around the corner on more than one occasion, whilst
Simon and his lovely fiancé
Debbie were the stars
of the show on Saturday.
Simon Edmonds of course
sat to the side of Nova Table
sitting with his slippers and pipe sulking due to the lack of Cranberry
juice. Johnnie Live has
been leaping from table to bar, to the pool table and back. Great to
see Mosquito Bill this
weekend. Paul Jackson
stepped through the door like a surprise guest at a birthday party,
Motor Bike Shaun and Big Shaun
were in to belt a few back on Sunday,
as was Andrew Watts. Up
at the bar and probably keeping it stable were
Graham, Peter, Nick, Joules the Geordie Boys, Chris, Darren,
and Jimmy, Dennis and Lek, Rob and Wit, Paul and Joy. Peter the Furniture
maker.
Seen creating Nova Table
two on several occasions were Paul Baker,
Graham and Ung Watkins with help from Eoin
and Shelley Quirke.
The Irish were out in support for the rugby last week and of course this week it is crucial
Iain Corness and the Monday Car Club all gather round for natterin' and a noggin' or two
Next week's website will be a real ripper so do not miss it for reason's I cannot say now (secrets you know). Nice to speak to Malcolm Clare on the phone, The Root of All Evil will be arriving next week, so do not say you have not been warned. If Kimo Price got my text message will he please let me know? I has not gone unnoticed that since Wales have had a bit of a dip in form there have not been so many text messages or e-mails from a certain Dai Coe.
Well that's it for me this week, Kim.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Further to our letter we sent earlier this year we would like to thank you
again for your support last year that allowed us to distribute over 6 million
baht to needy children’s charities on the Eastern Seaboard and the
tsunami-ravaged south. Our efforts are already underway for this year’s
Jesters Care for Kids Charity Drive 2007 and once again
we would like to ask for your help.
The response so far has been wonderful with a result of a Diamond Sponsor
and 12 Platinums to date, as well as 2 Golds, 4 Silvers and 6 Bronzes and
7 Pledgers. This is a great start and we would like to thank those who have
already stepped forward allowing us to provide funds and supplies to our
ongoing projects.
This year we will maintain assistance to many of our ongoing beneficiaries
as well as bring on borard some new ones, specifically a number of schools
in Rayong Province.
Other projects we are also committed again to so far in the New Year:

needs additonal renovation (recently completed)
Pattaya Redemptorist School for the Blind in Naklua needs

Rayong Training Center for wayward children and teens;
continued maintenance of organic gardening project
Khao Bai Sri School in Sattahip for autistic and handicapped
children requires ongoing renovation and maintenance.

Fountain of Life Center for Children in North Pattaya,
our target charity, which provides identities, medical care, nutritious
meals, day care and ultimately scholarships for the education of slum children
Projects in the south, providing school lunches on Phi

Wednesday Special is served from 12 noon till 11pm,
and from 12 noon to 2 pm we guarantee ‘Quick Service’
