an end to conflict? early signs that election result will be respected, but can it last?
HUA HIN THAILAND The size of the victory for the Phue Thai party in Sunday’s General Election has, for the time being, muted any pre-vote thoughts of another coup or mass demonstrations by the opposition. For the record, the current seat count between the two main parties is 265 to Phue Thai and 159 to the Democrats, with the only apparent problems coming for the third placed party BhumjaiThai, with investigations being carried out into some alleged electoral frauds. In Prachuap Kiri Khan the Democrats were dominant as expected, although detailed results have not been made available for individual towns or areas yet, only general provincial results. The announcements made so far by the Prime Minister in waiting, Yingluck Shinawatra, seem to indicate that an early and potentially provocative return to Thailand by her brother Thaksin is not likely to happen, and the acceptance of the poll result by both the army and the Democrats, without the anatagonistic and defiant words that has been characteristic in recent years, all seems to signal some form of reconciliation, with very few people wanting a repeat of the troubles of the last few years. This is all good news for Thailand, regardless of how the policies of the new government are implemented; business experts seem to think these policies will weaken the baht because of the finances that will be required, and if that is the case it will be a boost to the tourist industry, exporters and, of course, expats. If the positive mood prevails, this will be a huge benefit to Hua Hin, and we can look forward to the next high season with some optimism. It is, however, still a very big ‘if’, but so far, so good.

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.. Willy-nilly This term has two, slightly differing, but related meanings: ‘whether it is with or against your will’ and ‘in an unplanned, haphazard fashion’. We tend to use the latter of these meanings today; the former was the accepted meaning.when the term was first coined. There are many spellings in early citations, which relate to the ‘with or against your will’ meaning of the phrase ‘wille we, nelle we’, ‘will he, nill he’, ‘will I, nill I’, etc. The expression also appears later as ‘nilly willy’ or ‘willing, nilling’, or even, in a later humourous version ‘william nilliam’. The early meaning of the word nill is key to this. In early English nill was the opposite of will a contraction of ‘ne will’. That is, will meant to want to do something, nill meant to want to avoid it. So, combining the willy - ‘I am willing’ and nilly - ‘I am unwilling’ expresses the idea that it doesn’t matter to me one way or the other. The Latin phrase ‘nolens, volens’ means the same thing, although it isn’t clear whether the English version is a simple translation of that. The second, ‘in an undecided, haphazard manner’, meaning of willy-nilly arrives from the first. The changeable ‘this way, then that way’ imagery of willynilly behaviour fits with our current ‘haphazard’ meaning of the term. There’s also a, now archaic, phrase ‘hitty missy’ that had a similar derivation. That comes from ‘hit he, miss he’. The phrase dates back at least a millennium, with the earliest known version being the Old English text, Aelfric’s Lives of Saints, circa 1000: “Forean the we synd synfulle and sceolan beon eadmode, wille we, nelle we.” Shakespeare was familiar with, and apparently quite
fond of, the expression in various forms. He used it in The Taming of the Shrew, 1596: Petruchio: [To Katharina] Thus in plain terms: your father hath consented That you shall be my wife; your dowry ‘greed on; And, Will you, nill you, I will marry you. [i.e. I will marry you, whether you like it or not.] and again, in Hamlet: First Clown: Give me leave. Here lies the water; good: here stands the man; good; if the man go to this water, and drown himself, it is, will he, nill he, he goes. [i.e. If a man chooses to drown he enters the water, if he chooses not, he leaves.] The ‘undecided’ meaning of the expression appears to have spawned the later ‘shilly-shally’. The OED is a little lax in dating this from the end of the 19th century. They cite Sir Walter Besant’s novel The Orange Girl, 1898: “Let us have no more shilly shally, willy nilly talk.” That makes the connection between ‘willy-nilly’ and ‘shilly-shally’ apparent. There are literally thousands of 18th and 19th century pre-datings of the phrase, in various newspapers and works of literature; for example, The Adventures of Dick Hazard, 1755: Where I quartered, a good buxom Widow kept the house; and I had her before I was ten days in town --D-- me. She knew things better than to stand Shilly Shally. Is there an English phrase or saying that you would like to know more about? Email it to us on submissions@awolonline.net and we will do our best to uncover it’s origin.

Swishing A woman goes to the Doctor, with bruises on her face. The Doctor asks: “What happened?” The woman says: “Doctor, I don’t know what to do.. Every time my husband comes home drunk, he slaps me around.” The Doctor says: “I have a real good cure for that. When your husband comes home drunk, just take a glass of water and start swishing it in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don’t swallow it until he goes to bed and is asleep.” Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn. The woman says: “Doctor that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk, I swished with water... I swished and swished, and he didn’t touch me! How does the water do that?” The Doctor says: “The water does nothing…it’s keeping your mouth shut that does the trick....”

Gynaecologist’s Assistant A man went to Harley Street in London, having seen an advert for a Gynaecologist’s Assistant. Knowing that nowadays, job advertisers aren’t able to discriminate against the applicant’s gender, he was very interested, so he went in and asked the Clerk for details. The Clerk pulled up the file and read: “This job entails preparing ladies for the Gynaecologist. You will be responsible for helping them out of their underwear, laying them down and carefully washing their private areas, applying shaving foam to the necessary parts and removing all unwanted foliage, and finally, you’ll be required to rub in soothing oils, in preparation for the Gynaecologist’s examination.” Then she told him “The annual salary is £65,000 and if you’re interested, you’ll have to go to Manchester.” “My goodness!”, exclaimed the man, “Is that where the job is?”. She answered, “No Sir, that’s where the end of the queue is...” quickies Remember the seven qualities for the perfect girlfriend - Beautiful, Intelligent, Gentle, Thoughtful, Innocent, Trustworthy, Sensible. Or in other words B.I.G.T.I.T.S. I thought the wife would be the ideal candidate for a new TV show. Turns out I got it all wrong and the programme’s called Fact Hunt. Some thief just pinched a pair of my wife’s knickers off the washing line. She’s not bothered about the knickers but she wants the twelve pegs back. Last night I reached for my liquid Viagra and accidentally swigged from a bottle of whiteout. I woke up this morning with a huge correction. The thing I love most about this hot weather is the short skirts and low cut tops. Although they do make me look a bit gay.

New Delhi, India Rickshaws in India to be fitted with sat nav systems Rickshaws in India are set to be fitted with satellite navigation devices with the aim of cutting down disputes about drivers’ pay and journey fares. Next week, 250 rickshaws in New Delhi will be fitted with GPS devices as part of a trial period, with plans to roll out the scheme for all the vehicles in the city by the end of next month. The SatNav scheme is the latest attempt by city officials to improve the reputation of rickshaw drivers. The devices will serve the dual purpose of allowing the authorities to track journeys, while passengers can check they are being taken on the shortest possible route.

Hua Hin Game Fishing 081 010 3748 (Eng/Swe/Thai) or 081 686 8768 (Thai)
The devices will also be fitted with a panic button to allow women to raise the alarm if they’re attacked, the Daily Telegraph reports. Opponents to the move claim the plan is destined to fail as the drivers will be tempted to tamper with the devices so as to charge the highest possible fares. Groups supporting the drivers claim the problem has arisen from the fact current fare rates are denying drivers a living wage. There are currently around 55,000 three-wheeled rickshaws in New Delhi, with thousands using the vehicles every day to get around. Chetumal, Mexico, Halfnaked Mexican prisoner busted while trying suitcase escape A half-naked escapee curled up in
the foetal position was discovered by Mexican prison guards after they opened a suitcase being carried by a woman visiting inmates. Juan Ramirez Tijerina was caught by guards at a jail in Chetumal, Mexico, as his girlfriend Maria del Mar Arjona pulled along a ‘bulky’ looking black suitcase. According to police spokesman Gerado Campos, the 19-year-old looked nervous as she attempted to leave the prison following a conjugal visit. Suspicious wardens decided to check what was inside and to their surprise found themselves staring at a half-naked Ramirez, serving a 20-year sentence for illegal weapons possession, who was found to be wearing only his socks and underwear.
