hopes and fears for hua hin and thailand as the country votes
HUA HIN THAILAND This Sunday, 3rd July, in case you hadn’t noticed, Thailand will vote for their next government. It is expected to be a tight affair, with a large number of voters, estimated at about ten million, still in the ‘floating’ category. It seems likely that whichever party has the most MPs, they will not have an overall majority, and will need to form some sort of coalition to be able to govern; in many ways this might be the best outcome for the country, as it would hopefully prevent provocative measures, such as the amnesty for convicted politicians proposed by the Puea Thai party; that is clearly aimed at allowing Thaksin Shinawatra, brother of Yingluck the Puea Thai leader, to return from exile, but many think this would be the trigger for another military coup. The impact on life in Thailand and our town of Hua Hin, whichever government is formed, are likely to be slight, possibly even unnoticeable if the Democrats manage to hold onto power. A change of government will probably mean that there will be movement in senior army and police positions, as there always tends to be a kind of reward and punishment system for those who supported or opposed the eventual victors. As far as expats go, those who run businesses or own property here will be hoping that whoever is in power will make life easier for them in regard to the regulations governing those areas, while everyone will be hoping that steps will be taken to weaken the baht, as this would benefit both foreigners and Thais by helping to encourage more tourists as well as help the property sector. Thailand faces a challenging next few years, and this election ,and the subsequent actions and reactions may well set the tone for the dance ahead. Will it be the solo slippery slide down a pole, or an arms linked celebratory jig?

Do you wonder why we say certain things, or what they really mean? Each week we will examine a different word or phrase and tell you how it came about. This week it is.. The devil to pay Impending trouble or other bad consequences following from one’s actions. People seem to love ascribing nautical origins to phrases. Here’s a good case in point. The ‘devil’ is a seam between the planking of a wooden ship. Admiral William Henry Smyth defined the term in The Sailor’s Word-book: An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, 1865: Devil - The seam which margins the waterways on a ship’s hull. ‘Paying’ is the sailor’s name for caulking or plugging the seam between planking with rope and tar etc. ‘Paying the devil’ must have been a commonplace activity for shipbuilders and sailors at sea. This meaning of ‘paying’ is recorded as early as 1610, in S. Jourdain’s Discovery of Barmudas: Some wax we found cast up by the Sea... served the turne to pay the seames of the pinnis Sir George Sommers built, for which hee had neither pitch nor tarre. Many sources give the full expression used by seafarers as “there’s the devil to pay and only half a bucket of pitch”, or “there’s the devil to pay and no pitch hot”. Nautical origin; case closed? Well, no. The phrase doesn’t originate from the name of the ship’s seam, as is sometimes supposed. It is the name ‘devil’ in this context which comes from the phrase ‘the Devil to pay’, rather than the other way about. The other meaning of paying the Devil alludes to Faustian pacts in which hapless individuals pay for their wishes or misdeeds by forfeiting their soul. This allusion, and the everyday usage meaning ‘I am in trouble now, I will have to pay for this later’, date from the 18th century. For example, Thomas Brown’s Letters From the Dead
to the Living, 1707: Don’t you know damnation pays every man’s scores... we knew we should have the Devil to pay one time or other, and now you see like honest men we have pawn’d our Souls for the whole Reckoning. This quotation predates the earliest recorded usage of ‘devil’ to mean the seam of a ship (Smyth’s Sailor’s Word-Book, 1867) by more than a century. Given the known nautical meaning of ‘paying’ a seam and the wellestablished phrase ‘the Devil to pay’, sailors probably adopted the phrase in reference to the unpleasant task of seam caulking. George Lemon put forward his understanding of how the phrase was coined in English Etymology, 1783. Lemon explains that, when sailors were ready to start caulking seams before the tar was melted, they used the phrase ‘here’s the Devil to pay and no pitch hot’. As Lemon put it: “Here’s the black gentleman come to pitch the vessel’s sides and you have not so much as made the pitch kettle hot enough to employ him.” Whether we accept Lemon’s version or prefer the ‘pact with the Devil’ derivation, it is clear that the devil in the phrase was originally a reference to Satan, not the seam of a ship.

the media A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A Guardian reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the biker says,’Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.’ The biker replies,’Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.’ The reporter says,’Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go

unnoticed. I’m a journalist from the Guardian, you know, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?’’ The biker replies,’I’m in the SAS and a Conservative.’ The following morning the biker buys The Guardian to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page: SAS THUG ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH BEER, FISHING, GOLF & SEX. A man was walking down the street when he was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple Of dollars for dinner. The man took out his wallet, extracted ten dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you buy some beer with it instead of dinner?” “No, I had to stop drinking years ago,” the homeless man replied. “Will you use it to go fishing instead of buying food?” the man asked. “No, I don’t waste time fishing,” the homeless man said. “I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.” “Will you spend this on greens fees at a golf course instead of food?” the man asked. “Are you NUTS!” replied the homeless man. “I haven’t played golf in 20 years!” “Will you spend the money on a woman in the red light district instead of food?” the man asked. “What disease would I get for ten lousy bucks?” exclaimed the homeless man. “Well,” said the man, “I’m not going to give you the money. Instead, I’m going to take you home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.” The homeless man was astounded. “Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.” The man replied, “That’s okay. It’s important for her to see what a man looks like after he has given up beer, fishing, golf, and sex.” Thanks to Grahame for the above joke

Birds: Dearly loved by Twitchers, but hated by wine-growers. In the Vineyard wars they have tried everything to get rid of them: guns, artillery, electric wires, automatic machines that bark in the dawn, scarecrows, sirens etc, etc. Ultimately the only answer is to grow more good Cabernet, Shiraz (Syrah if you are French), Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir than they can handle. Blend: One of the great arts of the wine-maker is take a flavour from this vineyard a nuisance from that,

from the pen of lord webb just a touch of tannin from the north a touch of perfect acidity from the south, and then blend it into the perfect wine. Actually it’s a cunning con-trick to disguise the fact that your superb Bordeaux came from a 5000 hectare plot in Algeria. A cork retriever is not a dog from Ireland!! Blind tasting: That wonderful time when all the bottles are all masked. Before the assembled audience, after you’ve had a scoop or two or three even, you proceed to show off your remarkable skill, first divining the area, then the grape, then the year and even the label. You tell of its poor fruit, nondescript character, its flabbiness and its disastrous future. Now for the moment of truth! The bottle is unwrapped and

to everyone’s delight (except you of course) it’s the wine you brought yourself. Body: You can have a light body, a medium body, a full body, and that’s one of the great things about wine, the full bodies usually come to one late in the evening. Wine improves with age. The older I get, the better I like it………….. How true. Until next time - Cheers!

of 8mph, around the ‘Batcave’ – the sheltered housing complex where he lives in Evesham, Worcestershire. ‘People drive past in their cars and stop when they see me, get out, and ask for a photo,’ said the retired construction worker. ‘I feel like a bit of a celebrity. I know how the Beckhams must feel when I go out in my Batmobile. If it brings a smile to people’s faces, then it’s done the job.’ And 74-year-old Mr Vann will not stop there – he has already started work on another design which will transform his scooter into a Thunderbird spaceship. Zeltweg, Austria Staring at storks: Soldiers told to intimidate birds using fixed gaze Troops ordered to scare away storks from an airport have been
banned from using their guns and told to stare at the birds instead. Twenty-four soldiers were brought in over fears 25 storks would disrupt the Airpower 2011 air show in Zeltweg, Austria, next week. Organisers have tried to lure them away with bait, by creating better feeding grounds further away and even putting up plastic storks to make it seem more attractive elsewhere. A stork could bring down a plane if it was sucked into an engine. Environmentalist Siegfried Prinz said the staring plan was working. He added: ‘Being stared at intimidates the storks more than the sound of a gun or other explosive.’ A total of 24 soldiers are working on operation stork between five a.m. in the morning and 10 o’clock at night.
