Rugby.
But not as we know it Jim.
Although it is wonderful
to have three yes three games of International
Rugby to watch this weekend, I can't help feeling that
it will be another very hard day for the Northern
Hemisphere supporters. Although Australia
was lucky last week weren't they? The Rugby
starts at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday 2nd June
with France vs. New Zealand,
and continues with Australia vs. Wales,
and then England vs. South Africa.
We will top and tail this by playing a copy of the Brazil
vs. England Football game from the previous evening. It
is a good job that Simon Philbrook and Kim
Fletcher got a practice session in on Wednesday.
Fabulous week at Jameson's
too many stars to mention all by name, but a couple of Wilkie
Birthday's will always make the week swing. Congratulations
to both Vic and Lisa. Sid Silk
as ever has been the star of Nova Table,
having now discovered Stephen Leather's
writing he is becoming a bit of a conosoiur on Stephen's
books and has even managed to find a couple of unsigned books to put
in his Stephen Leather
collection.

Rugby Captain who’s not being allowed to retire from active rugby)
and the delightful Lisa Wilkie, plus what looks like an impression of

rugby games against the Southern Hemisphere teams
The Executive,
Junior, Trainee, Assistant, Deputy Manager Ian (Lady Di) Harrington
has been spending far too much time in Bangkok
for everybody else's liking but we still have the pleasure of his company
over the weekend, so we have Ian at the weekend and The
Roving Ambassador Mark Stubbs during the week. The
Wilkies have attacked the bar every night being a crowd
on their own, but bringing lots more with them including Jimmy
Howard, Eoin and Shelley Quirke (Hi to Lisa
Lurve), Sam Peebles, Simon
and Debbie, The Font of All Knowledge Graham MacDonald,
who's wonderful idea it was to get a DVD recorder in the pub. The
Root of All Evil has been living up to and exceeding
his reputation, Malcolm Clare
made sure that Johny Live
had a 50th Birthday to
remember and then made sure he had nothing to remember with the inclusion
of El Diabolo's getting in the way followed up by the old one two of
Port and Brandy I do not think that Johny
will ever be the same again. The Good
Guys Pete and Steve have left with the taste of victory
sweet on their lips, but The Bad Guys
will be back next year. Well that's all from me this week, Kim.
Rich Wibrow,
Deborah Lightley & Simon Philbrook hold up a copy of the hilarious
football results sent over with miraculous speed by Edna Harrisson with
help from Julian Powis. As soon as we manage to get this transferred
from Vinyl to C.D. We will set it up on the diary so everyone can have
a good laugh at what must be one of the most hilarious episodes in Vinyl
history. Well done and thanks to Edna & Julian for their enthusiasm
and speedy work.
Happy 50th Birthday to
Johny Live every bodies favorite hairdresser, celebrating in Jameson’s
the Irish Pub with all his friends and the Jameson’s staff

a cold Heineken will not solve

Nova Table after
one of Ian Harrington’s better jokes the now Executive Junior,
Deputy, Assistant, Trainee, Manager, better known as Lady Di had a fine
night on Saturday, making the Font of all Knowledge Graham MacDonald
roar with laughter, David “Dusit” Garred was easy to make
laugh as Australia had won, Landlord Kim Fletcher will laugh at anything
whilst Malcolm (The Root of All Evil) Clare had not get recovered his
composure after England’s Cricket score in the rugby game. He
was later to feel much better after selecting on El Diabolo for Johny
Live to drink as a birthday present. Happy Birthday Johny

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 1995Rugby 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

International Tens in 2006 and 2007 and frequently arranging for rugby
memorabilia for auction at junior rugby events. Born in West Auckland

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.
