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.

Another week of fun and high jinx at Nova Table in Jameson's pub. The Salsa Dance night on Friday was an outrageous success. David and Sylvia did their usual inspired job as Fashion Directors, making life so easy on the rest of us. Nick and Sam were the dancers and teachers in equal proportions. Their dance costumes were quite something to see in themselves. Graham Moore looked on proudly as his beautiful wife danced, before he himself was dragged onto the dance floor, along may I say with many more. Ray Matti can be quite clearly seen dancing in the front line, Jason Payne was dancing like a goody until he saw that the television cameras were quite literally in his face, when a quick retreat was the order of the day. Johnnie Live danced his little heart out, but I think at the end of the day he had better stay with coloring and cutting hair. David's own account of the Fashion nights in conjunction with Sue Malhotra of the Pattaya Mail, has been left to start off this column. But I am delighted to tell you that this will actually be a Fashion Show the first we have really had in our Fashion Month, with lots of top Thai, Asian, and Farang models showing off the clothes it should be a very interesting evening. Of course the week following will be the last in our Fashion month before we move into December with Christmas and all that entails Christmas. The last show will be a lingerie and tease show. This event takes place on Friday 24th November please put a note in your social calendar for that night.

Seen doing flaming statue of liberties around Nova Table once again were all the Bryant's, Rick, Harpic, Jake, Paige, and Abby, the welcome return of George with Melinda, Graham MacDonald, Simon Philbrook, and his lovely Fiancé Debbie, David Garred, Kevin Fisher, Malcolm and Christina Bowden, Mike back for a week, but to return permanently next month, Graham and Ung Watkins, Welsh Graham, Mike Watkins, and all other Welsh people leaping out from everywhere to enjoy their rugby victory last week. The Ireland vs. South Africa game was an absolute cracker. Will England ever play again. Moose was in on Saturday night and it was nice to catch up on old times. Making life much more bearable for the English on Saturday was the arrival back of Mick and Elly Devonport. Mick is one of Britain's finest guitarists and general all round nice guy. Mick and Elly come from Liverpool and Elly had to give up the name Elaine Rigby to marry Mick. Needless to say we arranged a musical night out where Mick was lined up to play with Pop's Pattaya All Stars up at Easy Rider, with Rick Bryant supplying the six string hardware for Mick. When we arrived Pop's band were breaking into a medley of Uriah Heep and Deep Purple songs, ‘July Morning’, ‘Easy Livin’, ‘Gypsy’, ‘Perfect Strangers’, ‘Black Night’ and a smokin version of ‘Burn’ these songs were played with the panache of the originals. Next up came Mick Devonport playing with the band, after first of all dropping Rick's prized Jackson guitar, after the strap failed and then working out all the pedals, it was hammer down time as Mick led the band into the Robert Johnson song made famous by Eric Clapton ‘Crossroads’ as soon as the first guitar solo came it was like rolling back thirty year and watching Mick in his band ‘Nutz’. It was a display of guitar brilliance second to none, ‘Rock Me Baby’, ‘Shake Your Money Maker’, a thundering version of ‘Bullfrog Blues’, all followed with an encore of ‘River Deep Mountain High’ with Harpic on vocals. I do not know how Mick felt but the Landlord was shattered from leaping about on the dance floor. The praise for Mick got higher and higher as the evening went on, as Mark Stubbs rated Mick's playing "Not Bad". Mick is away for a couple of days, but will be back to watch his beloved Liverpool F.C. on Saturday night, and who knows maybe we can get him up on stage again after this. Mick Devonport never got the fame his talents deserved, but I think he got a pretty fair swap in Elly.
