third birthday bash for awol
hua hin, THAILAND FRIDAY 30TH SEPTEMBER - make that a date for your diary, as AWOL is celebrating three years and our 150th issue that day with a party at Ye Olde Buffalo Tavern from around 7pm. There will be free food and a complimentary drink for anyone who comes along, but we would ask that if possible you confirm that you are coming to ensure there is enough to go round. You can do this in one of four ways; by email to info@awolonline.net (please put ‘AWOL PARTY’ as the subject), by text message to 081 649 8361, on our forum poll at www.awolonline.net/forum or at the AWOL Facebook account where the party is listed as an event. We hope that as many of our readers and advertisers as possible can make it so that we can meet and thank you all personally for your support since the paper’s birth. The occasion also marks another important event, because as from 1st October 2011 AWOL is introducing a new pricing structure. It may come as a surprise to some, but most of the prices are going down, with just a few remaining where they are at present. We will be sending our new price guide out to all existing and former advertisers we have email addresses for, and it will also be available via our website from today (23rd September). If you would like us to send you a copy, please send an email to sales@awolonline.net with details of the business, product, event or item you are thinking of advertising. If you would like us to come and see you to discuss advertising in AWOL please call 081 649 8361. Alternatively, bring your business card or details along with you to the party next week and give them to us, and we will contact you.

This week it is.. Halcyon days Calm, peaceful days. Halcyon is a name for a bird of Greek legend which is commonly associated with the kingfisher. The phrase comes from the ancient belief that fourteen days of calm weather were to be expected around the winter solstice - usually 21st or 22nd of December in the Northern Hemisphere - as that was when the halcyon calmed the surface of the sea in order to brood her eggs on a floating nest. The Halcyon days are generally regarded as beginning on the 14th or 15th of December. Halcyon means calm and tranquil, or ‘happy or carefree’. It is rarely used now apart from in the expression halcyon days. The name of the legendary bird was actually alcyon, the ‘h’ was added in regard to the supposed association with the sea (‘hals’ in Greek). The source of the belief in the bird’s power to calm the sea originated in a myth recorded by Ovid. The story goes that Aeolus, the ruler of the winds, had a daughter named Alcyone, who was married to Ceyx, the king of Thessaly. Ceyx was drowned at sea and Alcyone threw herself into the sea in grief. Instead of drowning, she was carried to her husband by the wind. The rest of the story is, in a translation of Ovid: The Gods their shapes to winter-birds translate, But both obnoxious to their former fate. Their conjugal affection still is ty’d, And still the mournful race is multiply’d: They bill, they tread; Alcyone compress’d, Sev’n days sits brooding on her floating nest: A wintry queen: her sire at length is kind, Calms ev’ry storm, and hushes ev’ry wind; Prepares his empire for his daughter’s ease,
And for his hatching nephews smooths the seas. The legendary bird is usually identified with the kingfisher. That was also said to nest on the sea and was believed to be able to calm the sea for the seven days before and seven days after the winter solstice. In 1398, John Trevisa translated Bartholomew de Glanville’s De proprietatibus rerum into Middle English: “In the cliffe of a ponde of occean, Alcion, a see foule, in wynter maketh her neste and layeth egges in vii days and sittyth on brood ... seuen dayes.” In Henry VI, Part I, 1592, Shakespeare refers to halcyon days: JOAN LA PUCELLE: Assign’d am I to be the English scourge. This night the siege assuredly I’ll raise: Expect Saint Martin’s summer, halcyon days, Since I have entered into these wars. Note: Saint Marin’s summer is what we now know as an Indian summer. The kingfisher is associated with other powers relating to the weather. In mediaeval times it was thought that if the dried carcase of a kingfisher was hung up it would always point its beak in the direction of the wind [don’t try this at home]. Shakespeare also refers to this in King Lear, 1605: Bring oil to fire, snow to their colder moods; Renege, affirm, and turn their halcyon beaks With every gale and vary of their masters Our current use of halcyon days tends to be nostalgic and recalling of the seemingly endless sunny days of youth.

quickies (thanks to Karl) The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner. Talk about Dyson with death. I’ve just had a letter back from Screwfix. They said they regretted to inform me that they’re not actually a dating agency. What’s the difference between Iron Man and Iron Woman? One’s a superhero and the other is an instruction. I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get Reincarnated, but must come back as a different creature. She said she would like to come back as a cow. I said you’re obviously not listening. My wife has been missing for a week now. The Police said I should prepare for the worst. So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

Daily, weekly or long term Nymphomaniac Convention A man boarded an aircraft at London ‘s Heathrow Airport for New York , and taking his seat as he settled in, he noticed a very beautiful woman boarding the plane. He realised she was heading straight toward his seat and bingo - she took the seat right beside him. “Hello”, he blurted out, “Business trip or vacation?” She turned, smiled enchantingly and said, “Business. I’m going to the annual nymphomaniac convention in the United States .....” He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting for nymphomaniacs! Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, “What’s your business role at this convention?” “Lecturer,” she responded,” I use my experience to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality..” “Really”, he smiled, “what myths are those?” “Well,” she explained, “one popular myth is that AfricanAmerican men are the most well endowed when, in fact, it’s the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait. Another popular myth is that French men are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Greek descent. We have also found that the best potential lovers in all categories are the Irish.” Suddenly the woman became uncomfortable and blushed. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I really shouldn’t be discussing this with you, I don’t even know your name!” “Tonto,” the man said. “Tonto Papadopoulos, but my friends call me Paddy.”
An Englishman An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Latvian, a Turk, an Aussie, a Yank, an Egyptian, a Jap, a Mexican, a Spaniard, a Greek, a Russian, an Estonian, a German, an Italian, a Pole, a Lithuanian, a Swede, a Finn, an Israeli, a Romanian, a Bulgarian, a Serb, a Czech, a Brazilian, a Canadian, an Argentinian, a Korean and a Swiss man walked into a pub. The bouncer says “Sorry.. I can’t let you in without a Thai”.

Nasa has been watching the six tonne satellite closely. Officials yesterday moved up their prediction for its arrival to Friday, September 23, give or take a day. Nasa scientists have calculated the satellite will break into 26 pieces as it gets closer to Earth. The odds of it hitting someone anywhere on the planet are one in 3,200. The heaviest piece to hit the ground will be about 159kgs (350 pounds) but no one has ever been hit by falling space junk in the past. Nasa expects to give the public more detailed information early next week. For now, all continents except Antarctica could be hit by satellite debris.

Featured Game CHAMPIONSHIP Wednesday, 28 September 2011 Brighton v Crystal Palace, 01:45 Amex Stadium, Falmer This will be the third home game in a week for Brighton, following the visit of Liverpool in the Carling Cup and Leeds quickly following that, all tough games. Their great start to the season was halted last weekend intheir 1-0 loss away to Leicester but Gus Poyet’s team will be hunting the three points against arch rivals Palace. The Eagles have made a decent start and they too will be on their third game in a week, after Middlesbrough in the Carling Cup at home and Doncaster away. Manager Dougie Freedman will know about the fans feelings for this game having spent ten years as a player with the South London club. The last time the clubs met was six years ago, which ended in a home defeat for Brighton. These are normally hotly contested games and this season should be no different, with the added aspect of it being the first time they have met in Brighton’s new home. This should be enough to give the home side the edge and continue their winning ways.

from ‘the invincibles’ to ‘the laughables’ london, england ARSENAL are to be granted legal protection from the relentless taunts of opposing fans, it has been confirmed. Publicly enjoying Arsenal’s embarrassment will now be classed as a hate crime after Arsene Wenger’s side were beaten 4-3 by a Blackburn team whose last victory was during the Crimean War. Blackburn fan Wayne Hayes said: “Watching the match was like watching somebody kicking a child’s wheelchair down the steps of the Eiffel Tower for 90 minutes, only far less entertaining than that actually sounds. “Imagine a fat, middle-aged bloke like me pulling Lindsay Lohan. It would be impossible to enjoy the experience as I’d be unable to ignore the depths to which she had sunk.”
Ridiculing Arsenal to become a hate crime
The FA has agreed to extend the scope of their Let’s Kick Racism Out Of Football campaign to include a Can Everyone Please Stop Pointing At Koscielny And Giggling section. Ex footballers will also tour schools to promote a more tolerant attitude toward the team and explain that playing for Arsenal could happen to anybody. An FA spokesman said: “On the face of it, it’s easy to laugh at Wenger’s crestfallen incomprehension and his magisterial inability to shoulder any of the blame, to titter about the team’s complete absence of backbone and to guffaw at the gulf between them and the top teams they used to compete against. “Sorry, where was I going with this?” Above: Laurent Koscielny, Arsenal defender; “Look, I’m giving you comedy gold right here!”
