Another fabulous week at Jameson's. The return of that Prince of Men Ian (Lady Di) Harrington who came in and gave us all a chuckle re-affirming his position as Jameson's Deputy, Junior, Trainee, Executive, Assistant Manager. The Roving Ambassador Mark Stubbs has had a splendid week roving all over the bar adding to the conversation wherever he goes. McTighe have been springing up everywhere of course everybody's friend Andy plus his two beautiful daughters Lindsay and Kim. Johnnie Live will be having his 50th Birthday in Jameson's on Saturday 26th May, come one come all Johnnie has been a real live wire round the bar since Jameson's opened in January 2005, so it should be a real good knees up especially with the impending arrival of Malcolm Clare The Root of All Evil. Frank and Frank have been supping at the bar most nights joined by all and sundry plus Dean (who is also staying at the Nova Park) and Mike. Stuart, Moo, Sophie and James and a permanent feature at the bar along with Chicken Nick, Ian, Joules, Dennis and Lek (happy now with their signed photo), Rob and Wit, Jimmy (Mike). So whenever you come into Jameson's there are always some nice people to talk too.
A great weekend was made even more dangerous by Sam Peebles and friends taking over the sports room for the F.A Cup Final always nice to see Sam along with his friends Iced Tea Vince, Motorbike Shaun, Peter's etc a great atmosphere for a Cup Final. Stuart Daly, The Font of All Knowledge Graham Macdonald, Peter and Bo (with her new shoes). Great to hear from Dobsy, J.K John Kennedy made a splendid arrival. Peter Bevis and his side kick Steve. Woody working away likes a beaver getting ready for the Jesters Charity Fair on Sunday the 9th September followed by the Pub Night on Saturday 15th September. This year the auction will be a silent auction with all the items on display at the fair each with their own little book so you can pre bid for any item you want then all the items will be up in the pub for 6 days for anyone else wishes to make a bid so that things will be speeded up on the actual night. A full list of auction items will be printed once a certain Welsh Mike gets back from the valleys, but I can tell you we got three fully signed up football shirts from Southampton, Everton and Sunderland all authenticated this week to add to our stock. Thanks to one of the Good Guys.

This weekend is a bit of an early start as the first Winter
Rugby International kicks off at 5.00
p.m. Australia vs. Wales
(which I just have a funny feeling might bring out David
Garred and Darren, plus a very large Welsh
contingent) followed immediately by South
Africa vs. England (which may well see the Landlord
hiding behind his seat at Nova Table).
Sunday sees the Monaco
Formula One Grand Prix, which as usual will see Dr.
Iain Corness and his Racing
Club take over the sports area with the big screen area
to watch the grand race anybody wishing to join Dr.
Iain is always made very welcome.
Always good to see Simon and Debbie, Jimmy Howard, Eoin and Shelley Quirke, Graham Watkins, the master of the tricky question. Big Dave's chair, Gregarious Greg, Henri from Raimond land, Rick, Harpic (especially with her pickled onions), Jake, Paige and Abi Bryant in the pub a welcome visit from Sean and Matt the Wig, Khun Itthiphol, Terry Schofield of North Shore Real Estate, Peter Mewes, Brian from Middlebourough, "Blackburn" from Bangchan, The Landlord even managed lunch with Rony Fineman in the pub this week, George, Budgie and Johnnie Live have kept the pool hall busy. A sad farewell to Jenny and Dave, which increased the flow of texts between Lisa Lurve and Jameson's also nice to hear from Scud and Dave Foden.

There was another dramatic golf competition this week between The
Good Guys and The Bad Guys, this best of three tournaments
has now reached a critical point at one game each. This year The
Good Guys won, which can be put down to three things
The Good Guys getting
used to playing with Coco the Clown,
the 90 foot putt on the last deciding hole by Captain
Peter Bevis's sidekick, and The
Landlord having to play
out of his skin to keep The Bad Guys
in the running. Overall though I must compliment Simon
Philbrook on his driving (I mean getting us to and from
the golf course not any driving he did whilst actually on the golf course).
I think John Hagan was
very mean with his rating for the website last week a 6, we sweat blood
over this you know John!
Enough from me, see you at the bar, Kim.

SATURDAY

DHL
Bangkok Lions RFC proudly present the Standard Chartered Rugby Dinner
2007 which will feature Jonah Lomu of New Zealand and Steve Thompson of
England along with our good friends and broadcasters Willie Lose and Justin
“Sambo” Sampson. Profiles of each are presented below:
• Jonah Lomu is a former New Zealand All Black who played for his
country 73 times included 63 test matches. Born in Auckland of Tongan
descent he grew up in south Auckland and attended Wesley College, Phukekohe.
Lomu burst onto the international rugby scene at the 1995
Rugby World Cup held in South Africa and is
currently the all time try scorer in Rugby World Cups with 15 tries scored
during appearances in the 1995 and 1999 editions. He has represented several
teams in the National Provincial Championships as well as the Auckland
Blues, The Chiefs and The Hurricanes in the Super Rugby. He is currently
making a comeback after undergoing a kidney transplant in 2004.
• Steve Thompson is a former Northampton Saints and England hooker
who was a member of the sinning side in 2003. Having originally starting
his career as a flanker, Thompson was persuaded by former Northampton,
Scotland and British & Irish Lions coach Ian MeGeechan to switch to
hooker. He was capped 47 times by England between 2002 and 2006 and twice
by the Lions on their 2005 tour to New Zealand. Thompson suffered a serious
neck injury whist playing for Northampton in January 2007 which forced
him to miss the entire Six Nations. In April 2007 and at the age of 28
years old, based on medical advice he was forced to retire from all rugby.
• Willie Lose is a good friend of the rugby community in Bangkok
visiting us frequently and assisting with the organization of the Bangkok
International Tens in 2006 and 2007 and frequently arranging for rugby
memorabilia for auction at junior rugby events. Born in West Auckland
and having played for Auckland and North Harbour Rugby Clubs, he represented
Tonga at the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. Willie spent six years
playing club rugby in Japan for Yahama Motor Company. He is currently
developing a broadcasting career with a daily show for Radio Sport in
New Zealand sand has also been doing television commentary for the IRB
on the Rugby Sevens circuit at Hong Kong, Dubai and Wellington and in
2007 has been part of the Sky TV NZ commentary team for Super 14 Rugby
• Justin “Sambo” Sampson has been with ESPN Star Sports
for over 7 years as a rugby presenter / commentator. In November 2006
he established Sampson Marketing Services, a sponsorship consultancy,
event management and corporate hospitality company which allows him time
to concentrate on being a prominent speaker, master of ceremonies and
auctioneer at various functions throughout the region, Middle East and
Australia. Prior to joining ESPN Star, Sampson worked with the Singapore
Rugby Union for over five years as National Coach which followed a three
year spell playing and coaching for Kubota Corporation in Tokyo, Japan.
The evening will feature a traditional Maori welcome for Jonah from the
Bangkok Maori Group and will include a four course meal and free flow
wine and beer – all for a measly THB 2,800. The function will be
held at the Imperial Queens Park Hotel on Saturday 2nd June 2007 from
7pm and there will be a number of items of rugby memorabilia available
for auction as well as other exciting items which will be included in
a raffle.
In advance of the Dinner, the four individuals above along with members
of the Bangkok Lions Committee will on Friday 1st June undertake a number
of community development initiatives including visits to schools and charities.
On the morning of Saturday 2nd June 2007 they will hold a coaching clinic
at Bangkok Patana School.
