The staff and I cannot thank everybody
who came in over this tough time regardless of difficulty. I fact it
became quite fun around the bar with people telling stories of how they
had got too and how they planned to get back home from the bar, with
lots of people chirping in with advice etc. The road is now finished
and in a much better state than it has ever been in, and it feels quite
grand to be able to drive from which ever direction you want to Jameson’s
and then leap out the car and casually stroll into the big Jameson’s
front door. All is well that end’s well.
I have loads of thanks to make to special people who dug in (to the
trenches) over this time far to many to mention, all by name but here
is a few, of course my Executive, Junior,
Assistant, Trainee, Deputy Manager Ian “Lady Di” Harrington,
The Jameson’s Ambassador Mark Stubbs, who used
to take over during the week when the Fat
Landlord had another nervous break down, my good friend
Graham MacDonald, Rick Bryant
and the rest of the Von Bryant Family
for a marvellous party on Christmas Eve
with Pop's Pattaya All Stars and the singing Von
Bryant’s Harpic, Jake, Paige and Abbi. Of course
Rick did not sing himself
this being way beneath him as he either was, is going to be is, or could
of been a member of Status Quo. The Quirke’s
and The Payne’s who would of come to Jameson’s
if a blizzard was blowing as well as the road looking like a ploughed
field after a tornado. Steve Graham
and all his associates for a marvellous Christmas
party just before Christmas.
Kimo and Nit from Wales, Mike Watkins,
the boys at the bar, Ian, Jimmy, Steve,
Young Paul, Ashley, Ron Keeley for getting here when
there was smoke coming out of the computers. Terry
Schofield of No Fixed Abode, Simon and Debbie, all the
many Jesters who came
in for a lunchtime drink, Partyboy Ray
Matti, and Curly Wurly, Neil and Pen Sandilands and
their huge family.
Sam Peebles
has been always a happy face in Jameson’s
all over the holiday period bringing hoards with him, Sam
is very well liked by both the night time and the daytime staff. Motorbike
Shaun is usually around along with Darren
from the Lazi Pig.
Of upcoming events the nearest one should be today! If you read the
diary on its day of issue Friday the 18th
January, if you don’t well it’s too late
isn’t it? The British Chamber of
Commerce will be holding the first of the
2008 Networking Evening at Jameson’s which will
be sponsored by World of Wines,
this is the company run by Richard Waller
a stout fellow and friend of many of us, whose company also supplies
the wines for Jameson’s
which especially the Rose' has been the downfall of many of my friends,
Richard Wibrow, Deborah Lightley, and
Iris Ritchie to name but a few whose last known conversation
on many an occasion has been “Is the Rose' to you liking?”
and the answer has been “Too nice”. But on Friday
night Richard will be bringing from World
of Wines 6 different wines to try, and Jameson’s
will be supplying some fine Canapé
to clear the palate in-between wines. Richard
Waller also happens to be a very fine speaker (as witnessed
at his marvellous address as the Father
of the Bride at Graham and Jay’s wedding). So
not only should it be a rather nice gathering as a sort of after yearly
festivities are over type of thing, and a good chance to get back in
contact with each other, but as a bonus there maybe an amusing speech
from Richard, I assure
you to will not be long, as confidently as I assure you it will be funny,
the full details of this event are printed up here on the diary.
John and the Deputy Manager Lady Di share
a drink
As you can see around Jameson’s it was
a bit like The War of the Worlds this Christmas with diggers, cranes,
machines that go boom, and "glopperter glopperter". On Christmas
Eve we actually had 10 foot by 7 foot holes in the road that were 8
foot deep. There was mud everywhere, and it was pretty tricky to even
walk along the road, but what blew us all away was that everybody made
the effort and somehow got to come and see us, at one point (well if
you can call a point Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day).
There was only one road to get to Jameson’s, and that was officially
closed, and wherever you came from there was a 20 yard forced march
across the rubble, trying not to fall down the drainage holes etc to
get to us. Plus of course we had to stop serving booze for the two weekends
before Christmas
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Graham, who really taught Jameson’s a thing or two about how to throw a party, the ESC and Nirvana people really threw themselves into having a good time, the band was superb and the karaoke singing amazingly quite professional. Steve himself of course was the consummate host, and his staff organized the whole even quite superbly
Father Christmas gets stuck trying to get
down the Jameson’s chimney, so if anybody did not get their expected
Christmas presents it may not have been initially because of your bad
behaviour during the year, but simply that the fat jolly fellah was
stuck in our chimney. Although it was probably because you were bad!
A.J gives us his impression (and I use these words lightly as you would
do if you live in the same town as A.J, have you seen the size of him?
The ESC party gets stuck into the Jameson’s Buffet
The Deputy, Executive, Junior, Trainee, Manager takes a picture of the
Fat Landlord
Alex the famous T.V personality is led up the garden path yet again,
and straight into a very impressive dance display
As you can see there were quite a lot of pictures taken at Steve's party
It really is only fair, ''Big man Big'' present A.J staggers away from
the gift line
Some of the fabulous entertainment at the ESC party
A.J in the thick of it as usual
Ahar there be pirates about with the treasure
A very Happy Mr. and Mrs. Claus
Steve Graham also does not mess about when
it becomes time to buy his staff Christmas presents
Steve Graham cleverly disguised as Father Christmas arrives at the party,
just to prove that it was not him that was stuck up the Jameson’s
chimney
Floor Captain Ake with a superstar
Nova Table, with Malcolm Clare "The Root of All Evil" as usual
in the middle of all the action, which always spells out action and
mania for everybody else
Jerry gives a lovely short speech for the cameras
Jason Payne as usual at Nova Table, as he is so skinny standing next
to the Landlord makes the Landlord looks fatter than ever
Well it is Christmas time, and in Tradition the Landlord and his wife
get stringed together again
As usual Kid gets in the picture with the girls
Mrs. Claus gives us a song
Even Steve gets a present
Steve Graham entertains the troops reminding us all of Robin Williams
in 'Good Morning Vietnam'
Goy, Fat Landlord Kim, and Colin Powell “The Mottman” get
into Christmas spirit, I’m afraid a little too literally. It has
bee a real pleasure having the Mottman staying at Nova Park, but also
extremely dangerous as Mottman and his famous sidekick Tattooed Alan
are always on hand for a “Quick” drink
Graham and Jay’s marriage got off to a wonderful start with the most superb wedding, which was held at Silverlake, this was done despite Graham’s choice of Ushers and the presence of all his friends, there were hundreds of people there so I cannot list them all but just to give you an idea of how dangerous this wedding was I will mention a few fellow’s Simon Edmonds (actually I could just stop there). Partyboy Ray Matti and Curly Wurly, Richard and Maggie Waller (the Father of the Bride and the prettiest Matron of Honour), Buster and Lek Williams, Rodney Bain, Lars and Nok Fieste, The Quirkes, The Quigley’s, Simon Philbrook and Debbie Lightley (top that for a wedding!), The Bryant’s, The Fletcher’s, The Watkins’s (Graham and Ung and Mike and Meow), The Sandiland’s, The Baker’s, The Paladeau’s, Pete Mewes, Alex Woods, Pete and Ali, Pete and Julie, Roger and the beautiful Erinah Bath, Big Dez, Richard Hunt, Pete Dalzell and his fiancé Lucy, Richard and Ali, The Holt’s, Sister Joan and Woody, Pop’s Pattaya All Stars put in a fantastic rock set, and all of this was done in the fantastic amphitheatre of Silverlake in a lovely cool breezy day, with Quad bikes available, (until we had them confiscated from us!) Horse and buggy rides (the only horses in Asia to now fear the soundtrack to Bonanza and Rawhide after being driven by Ray Matti) and Tuk-Tuk rides all this with an open bar run by the Jameson’s staff!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND the whole day was brilliant, mind you I was glad the boat races in the dark were abandoned before they really started. I’m sure we all wish The MacDonald’s a long and happy life together.
The food at Graham’s wedding was superb and supplied by Fredi of Bruno’s , which leads me to a proud Father moment, as many of you know my son Geoffrey has been working as a Chef at Jameson’s for the past year, as of this morning Geoffrey has started as a commis Chef at Bruno’s. Starting at the bottom is always tough, but I have my fingers crossed.
Nova Table really began
to rock over Christmas with the whole gang battling the conditions to
get in the door and get up to the bar here we see Liverpool Frank, Lady
Di, Fat Landlord, the wonderful Dai Coe, who brought a whole new stash
of bad jokes with him for this Christmas visit, although his trip flew
by so quickly he hardly had time to tell any of them. And then we have
J.K John Kennedy, the man with a sense of humour like no other it would
not be possible. Who as it is a Leap year this year will be celebrating
his 11th Birthday this year
Although the
roadwork’s outside Jameson’s were an absolute menace to
most they were absolutely fascinating for little John Fletcher
Dai Coe is
the only to realize that his picture is being taken being used to the
Landlord’s sneaky ways but Geoff Evans carries on his conversation
totally oblivious, but secure in the knowledge that he has a hand around
his Heineken
In the annual
tallest man in the bar competition Mottman comes second and Johny Live
comes third
Happy New
Year everybody
Johny Live Thailand’s
most famous Hairdresser (see the link at the side of this page) entertains
at the bar
The best way of shutting
up Colin Powell the Mottman is to give him the latest addition of Classic
Rock which was kindly brought to us from jolly old England by Mike Brown
There is plenty
of room on Tracy’s lap for Nat to have a seat
The Landlord
stands transfixed by the cricket as Jimmy tells you by his laugh that
it is all over and Stuart the builder is really more interested in the
more mainstream sports
Ian and the
lovely Moo Young have a quick cuddle while Stuart is not looking
Wonder Woman
in her Christmas get up gets ready with Chef Vinai’s Wonderful
Christmas Carvery and Buffet
The Christmas
Carvery and Buffet
In the New Year, Jameson’s
have many new things planned, starting off with a new specials menu
which we will be organizing once I stop typing! A
new Nibbles menu, and of course it’s unbelievable
that the Jesters Charity Drive
is already roaring up at us, with the
Fair at Diana Driving Range and Resort on Sunday 13th September , and
the Party Night at Jameson’s on Saturday 20th September,
that may seem a long way away, but it is amazing how quickly it comes
around.
Thanks to Geoff Evans, The Brown family
Bubbles, Ian Harrington, The Cyclops Gus with the lovely Julia, Keith
Mulholland and Elly and Mick Devonport for keeping us
entertained with magazines and DVD’s. Thanks to Stephen
Leather for the wonderful new sign, a Christmas
present at Nova Table.
Thanks also to John Hagan
for keeping score on the diaries, when there was a diary to score! Sid
Silk for all his boxing knowledge. And I must apologise
to all of you that wrote in about the lack of diary for a couple of
weeks, thanks for writing in at least I know that somebody is looking
at it, and I will make every effort not to let you down again this year,
and don’t forget if you need a car Foxy
of Q Cars is your man. Brian
Abbot has again been appointed Captain
and Coach for the following season of Jameson’s
Football team the present holders of the Jameson’s
cup, and the only team in our league with a 100% record.
Which is rather more than I can say about young Steve’s
team at the moment, but I must admit the fixture list does always look
a bit bias as he only ever seems to have to play teams that are in the
top six in the league all the time and usually away, plus playing every
game with only ten men must be seen as a bit of a handicap!
Always good to have Jimmy and Jenny Howard
in the bar. Congratulations to Stuart
and Moo Young on their 11th
Wedding Anniversary. I must add a very very big Thank
you to all my staff especially Moo, Wanchai,
Bob, and Vinai, for all their hard work and support
of the holiday season.
Festive greetings to Scud, Liza Lurve,
Niel and Alice, Sid Silk, Peter ‘Gin and Tonic’ Woolston,
the Dream Team, the McTighe’s all, Pattaya Mail folk, Iain and
Som Corness, Andy Francis, Paul Jackson, The Rose’s, Jesters real
and Honorary, Reading Football Club, the Good Guys vs. the Bad Guys.
Regards to Ian and Pat Dickson,
I bet Ian is enjoying life in the cricket lane at the moment. Always
good to see Jimmy Mike, Rob and Wit, Denis
and Lek, Joules, Chicken Nick, The Young Family, Stuart, Moo, Sophie,
& James, Khun Tira & Jinnie, Mike Franklin and Family, Bouncer
Geoff, and Boro Steve, Gavin from Flannigan’s, Big Dave, Stan
the man. Rony Fineman and Family have been very regular
customers, Jack and Jin who
have a lovely present coming in the up coming year. Great to see Mickey
Price and Family.
Have a good week everybody, and I’ll see you at the bar. Kim.
Believe it or not this
was Nova Table at one of it’s more sane moments during the Christmas
period even with the table being surrounded by Malcolm Clare the Root
of All Evil, Partyboy Ray Matti, Graham MacDonald The Font of All Knowledge
(probably the last picture of Graham as a single man!) and the lovely
Maggie Waller with Richard!
Simon Philbrook
at his proudest, with his lovely Fiance Debbie her sister and assorted
beautiful girls, have you ever seen such a ridiculas smirk on a face
as Simon is wearing right there
As soon as
there are plenty of pretty girls about Kid immediately want his picture
taken with them. Simon of course still stays centre stage to make sure
there was no impropriety
Porn and Curly
Wurly get all close up
Spot the odd
one out? If anybody does not say Stuart have another look
Birmingham
Jimmy and family enjoy Christmas
Sam Peebles
takes over the Sports room for Christmas Day as usual, and what a great
day it was too. Sam is one of those people who when he organizes a party
it stays partied if you know what I mean. Sam and all his friends helped
to make Christmas Day 2007 a very special day for Jameson’s, Christmas
Day would not be the same without Sam Peebles or Santa Claus
When you have
got Christmas party on your hands, you had better have some good cashiers
in place to keep everything under control. As you can see at Jameson’s
we have some not only efficient cashiers but some dashed pretty ones
too
It’s
a very serious and red thing at Christmas to make sure you have the
most fun on the day. Two of the prettiest girls in Jameson’s on
Christmas Day
The amazing
Geoff Evans and his Dad
The great
Jameson’s Football debate continues between Frank, Colin, Alan
and a highly amused Geoff Evans
Howay the
lads, now if you consider how many photos of Colin and Alan there are
in this week’s diary (I know I can here you all saying now as
you read this “Weekly”, well I will admit we did get a bit
overwhelmed over Christmas and New Year so perhaps it has been “Weakly”,
but we are back on track now). All of them with different shirts on
they can hardly claim to not be regulars
Red is the
only colour to wear on Christmas Day
Little Nat
gets her hands on some real Christmas crackers
Bo announces
her engagement to James Bond (Peter on New Year’s Eve). Let me
tell you that the Champagne rolled that night
New Year’s
Eve draws close in Jameson’s as Ken and Jackie brace themselves
to party
This is the last known picture
of Graham MacDonald as a single man, as he slips into Jameson’s
for a settling large Gin and Tonic before heading off kilt an all for
the Wedding of the century at Silverlake
Here we are little Abbi
Bryant in her Santa’s helpers outfit, Mrs. Harpic Claus and in
the background Simon Quigley, with Simon’s hand thrown in for
free and a giggling Eoin Quirke
One of the
nicest things about the Christmas period was the return of Peter and
Bo
It is Christmas
after all chaps and Mr. and Mrs. Coe Dai and Porn look as happy as anybody
has any right to be
Stuart Daly
and Partyboy Ray Matti look as if they about to get in to an argument
about Moo, but I’m sure that wasn't the case. Although I am not
saying Moo is not worth fighting over
Stuart Daly
claims victory, but Ray claims Curly Wurly
Wanchai, and
Mike Watkins share a drink on Mike’s Birthday
Mosquito Bill
Johnstone on Dave Green’s Table in the thick of the action as
usual on Christmas Day
The lovely
lovely hard working Lola who especially for Jameson’s did not
have her expected baby until after Christmas or New Year, and as I write
this she still has not had her baby. It of course will be newsflashes
across the world as soon as the great event takes place
Christmas
madness continues
Patrick, Partyboy
Ray Matti and believe it or not that is a straight haired Curly Wurly
beside Ray
Geoffrey Evans
and his Dad. The greatest thing about Geoff is that at least when he
arrives we know to stock up on the Heineken bottles, and in the knowledge
that no matter how many we buy it will all be drunk
The Welsh
Christmas spirit in full sail on Christmas Day
The actors
Waldorf and Statler from the Muppet show doing impersonations of Dai
Coe and Bill Johnstone
Goy and Kim
desperately struggle to open their Christmas present from son Geoffrey
Once opened
it was a lovely calendar of the whole family. We thought about putting
the calendar into production, but then there would be all the publicity
events, signing sessions etc so instead we have had framed and put up
at home
And it’s
Happy Birthday
