struggling to find stock
hua hin, THAILAND While it may seem churlish to report on a potential ‘beer crisis’ when hundreds are dead and possibly millions face severe risks from polluted water and disease caused by the flooding in Thailand, for many the possibility that stocks will not be available as we enter the high season is a serious cause of concern. Some suppliers are predicting two months of uncertain beer supply, with one of the country’s most popular beers Singha already badly affected and impossible to get hold of in some places. Singha has many of its production facilities based in flood-hit central provinces such as Phathum Thani, and was recently forced to close one brewery that was effectively surrounded by water. The Phuket Gazzette quoted Weerawit Kurasombat, president of the Patong Entertainment Business Association, as saying “This is the beginning of the high season. If the supply situation does not improve within about 30 days, I believe the entertainment business will start showing real signs of a crisis.” This would apply equally to Hua Hin, although the reports AWOL has received from bar owners in the area has been mixed; some say they have been ‘scrabbling around’ to find stock, while others have reported receiving supplies with no problem from their usual sources. However most have said that they had been trying to stay ahead of the game by ordering extra supplies in case of shortages, and that Singha and Tiger Light seem to be the most difficult to get hold of. Some also reported some small price increases. Most bars we spoke to were confident that their customers would switch to another beer if their favourite was not available, but the worry is that CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

beer drying up? CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

high season tourists may be more choosy, as well as the risk that some will cancel trips to Thailand altogether, although it is unlikely that the potential beer shortage would be the prime cause of this, but it might well be a factor. The potential knock-on effect is that bar sales are lower, tips less for the staff and in some cases could result in a business failing. Wages, rents and utility bills may not be paid and the ripples from all this start to effect more and more people. This all adds up and contributes to the economic disaster that is facing Thailand, and once again a high season that many Thais and some foreigners depend on for their livelihood is under threat. If this was a one off event after an unbroken series of good high seasons it could be shrugged off quite easily, but the last few years have seen a series of major problems that have hit the tourism business, from man made ones (military coups, red shirt and yellow shirt demonstartions) to medical threats (SARS, Bird Flu) to natural catastrophes (tsunami and floods). Adding to the pain in the last two or three years has been the extraordinary strength of the baht, and the one thing that would help the country at this time in particular would be for this to weaken drastically to encourage tourists and help exporters. In the meantime, drink your favourite beer while you still can and let us all hope this drama does not become a crisis.

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 exception that proves the rule Normally with these meanings and origins the meaning is well-understood or self-evident and the interesting aspect is how, where and when the phrase originated. This one is a little different - it’s the meaning that is generally not understood. To the untutored ear it might appear to mean ‘if there’s a rule and I can find a counter-example to it, then the rule must be true’. This is clearly nonsense; for example, if our rule were ‘all birds can fly’, the existence of a flightless bird like a penguin hardly proves that rule to be correct. In fact it proves just the opposite. So, and here the maxim ‘a little learning is a dangerous thing’ comes into play, it has been suggested that it’s an alternative meaning of the word prove that is the source of the confusion. Prove can mean several things, including ‘to establish as true’ and ‘to put to trial or to test’. The second option is what is used in ‘proving ground’, ‘the proof of the pudding is in the eating’, etc. It could be argued then that the phrase means ‘it is the exception that tests whether the rule is true or not’. In our example the existence of a bird that can’t fly would put the ‘all birds can fly’ rule to the test (and find it wanting). That’s all very well and most people would be happy to stop there. Unfortunately, when we go back to the legal origin of the phrase we see that it doesn’t mean that at all. It’s the word exception rather than prove that is causing the confusion here. By exception we usually mean ‘something unusual, not following a rule’. What it means here though is ‘the act of leaving out or ignoring’. If we have a statement like ‘entry is free of charge on Sundays’, we can reasonably assume that, as a general
rule, entry is charged for. So, from that statement, here’s our rule: You usually have to pay to get in. The exception on Sunday is demonstrating that the rule exists. It isn’t testing whether the incorrect rule ‘you have to pay’ is true or not, and it certainly isn’t proving that incorrect rule to be true. It’s a legal maxim, established in English law in the early 17th century. Written, as law was in those days, in Latin: Exceptio probat regulam in casibus non exceptis and is interpreted to mean ‘exception confirms the rule in the cases not excepted’ It has (slightly modified) examples in print going back to at least 1617: Collins: Indefinites are equivalent to vniversalls especially where one exception being made, it is plaine that all others are thereby cut off, according to the rule Exceptio figit regulam in non exceptis. While not the earliest citation, this, from Giovanni Torriano’s Piazza universale di proverbi italiani, or A Common Place of Italian Proverbs, 1666, expresses the idea clearly: “The exception gives Authority to the Rule.” Is there an English phrase or saying that you would like to know more about?

Eat in or Takeaway 081 455 5298 Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 This is a good week for romance in the workplace, which is troubling for you and everyone else at the monastery. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 The workings of the human heart have always been a mystery to you, but you’ll soon figure it out thanks to a handy instructional pamphlet featuring a friendly cowboy. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You’ll continue to struggle with your efforts to truly know yourself, but after being chased off every doorstep on the street, you’ll be pretty sure you’re not the milkman. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 Next week will see you at the front of a ragtag band of orphans, but that shouldn’t surprise you, as you’ve been running the world’s shabbiest orphanage for years now.

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 You’ve always wanted to become a local legend, so please enjoy your fame as The Guy Who Smoked at the Gas Station and Everyone in the Next Town Thought Was a Meteor. Gemini May 22 – June 21 You’ll reach your sexual peak tomorrow afternoon, surprising yourself almost more than the woman who owns the dachshunds. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 We can’t control who we fall in love with, but you’re set to change all that with your new invention, the Love Controller 2.0. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 You may be getting used to it and it may be more comfortable than you’d have guessed, but there’s always the possibility that someone will come along and turn the electric chair on.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 Just when you finally get everything exactly the way you want it, you’ll decide you liked the world a lot better when it had people in it. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 If there’s a moral to your story, you have yet to figure out what it is, which is pretty pathetic considering what that mouse went through to get the thorn out of your paw. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You’ve thought about titling your autobiography Untamed, but that might give away how you suffered all those bear-, tiger, and lion- related injuries. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Things have been looking dire, but you’ll soon learn that a sponsorship deal with a local sausage company will fund you through 2012.

birthday drink A guy walks into a bar and asks for three beers. The bartender puts them up and then watches the guy go through a peculiar ritual. “Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, happy birthday” Each time he says the word he drinks the beer. Then he pays and walks out. One year later he enters the bar again and orders the same thing. The bartender watches him go through the same ritual. Curious, he asks the bloke why. “Well” the guy says, “I have a friend in Ireland and a friend in Australia. We have our birthdays on the same day. We can’t be together so we have agreed that on this day we will each go into our local pub and have a round of drinks for each other. We have been doing this for 55 years since we were 18″ The next year the man comes in and asks the bartender for two beers. The bartender, a bit taken aback, places two beers in front of the guy and watches him say “happy birthday, happy birthday!” The bartender asks “So which one died?” “No one.” “But you only ordered two drinks!” “Yeah, well, I’ve given up drinking.” the lone ranger The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down for a couple of beers. A few minutes later, a lanky, bow-legged cowboy walked in and said, “Who owns the big white horse outside?” “I do”, the Lone Ranger replied. “Why?” The cowboy drawled, “You better take care of him. He¹s almost dead from the heat.” The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside and found Silver leaning against the hitching post, panting. They got him some water and soon Silver was looking better, but he was still panting. The Lone Ranger said, “Tonto, run around Silver as fast as you can and see if the breeze makes him feel any better. Tonto replied, “Sure, Kemosabe,” and began running around and around Silver. The Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his beer. A few minutes later, another cowboy came into the bar and drawled, “Who owns that big white horse outside?” “I do,” the Lone Ranger said, “What’s wrong with him this time?” “Nothin’,” the cowboy said, “But you left your Injun runnin’.”

divorce A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, “What are the grounds for your divorce?” She replied, “About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property.” “I mean,” he continued, “What are your relations like?” “I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband’s parents.” He said, “Do you have a real grudge?” “No,” she replied, “We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one.” “Please,” he tried again, “is there any infidelity in your marriage?” “Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don’t necessarily like the music, but the answer to your question is ‘yes’.” “Ma’am, does your husband ever beat you up?” “Yes,” she responded, “most days he gets up earlier than I do.” Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, “Lady, why do you want a divorce?” “Oh, I don’t want a divorce,” she replied. “I never wanted a divorce. It’s husband. He says he can’t communicate with me.” t-shirt I saw a fat bird down the pub on Saturday, her T-shirt said - Watch out, I’m a maneater!

Well I can’t help my size you know!” I said “actually no, I wasn’t going to say that at all” She looked happier and smiled as she said “really? what did you want to say then?” I replied “that’s not how you spell Manatee” first day at school My wife told me to get our ginger son ready for his first day at school So I beat him up and stole his dinner money

yorkshire, england ‘Lion on track’ reports disrupt train services in Yorkshire Passengers are used to autumn leaves being used to explain delays to their service – but travellers were stopped from leaving their carriages after reports of a lion on the loose. A woman sparked the alert when she reported seeing a big cat or a cub from her car last week. But no animal was found despite almost two hours of searching by two dozen officers and a police helicopter, while train travellers were forced to remain on board their carriages in Shepley, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire. The motorist who claimed to have seen the predator was a genuine caller, say police. However, Insp Carlton Young, of West Yorkshire Police, said the search would be resumed today if there were any more reports. Earlier, National Rail Enquiries wrote on Twitter: ‘Passengers are currently unable to alight from trains at Shepley due to reports by police of a lion in the area.’ It later said ‘normal service had been resumed’. In May, a police helicopter was scrambled after a white tiger was spotted in a field near Southampton – but it was only a stuffed toy. florida, usa Florida bank closes man’s account after he urinates in drive-through One irate customer of the RBC Bank in Florida left a deposit of a very different kind after he was disgruntled with the customer service. In a move which certainly goes against the official complaints procedure, the unnamed 67-yearold man is believed to have urinated on a bank tube at the drive-through
window of the Palm Coast branch. According to the authorities, the incident was only discovered when the unlucky customer behind him picked up the bank tube and was covered in the liquid. A bank employee is also said to have confirmed the liquid was urine. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office has now charged the man with creating a public nuisance, bringing with it a possible sentence of one year in jail. RBC has also handed out its own brand of justice, by closing the man’s account and giving him all of his money back. Major Dave O’Brien, who is from the country sheriff’s office, told MSNBC: ‘It’s a disgusting act that nobody should have to go through. You go to the bank to make a deposit or withdraw. Nobody should have to go through this.’ However, reports suggest this might not be the first time the man has urinated on the bank’s property. Investigators said there have been reports of a similar incident occurring at the Port Orange branch of the bank. Llodio, spain Spanish man shocked after snake slithers out of cashpoint The middle-aged man, from Llodio in the Northern Basque region, had stopped off at the ATM outside the Caja Madrid bank on his way to work. Despite getting a shock from the hissing snake which emerged from the machine and tried to attack him, he managed to grab his money before calling the police. And in video footage of the incident posted on YouTube, a policeman is seen attempting to move the creature with a baton before officers - together with the bank manager - discovered that the snake
was trapped by the mechanism of the cash machine. The manager subsequently activated the machine from the inside to free the snake, which was put into a box and taken to an animal shelter. Police have not ruled out the possibility that the snake may have been placed in the cash machine as a prank. However it is also possible that as the cash machine is in a rural area the reptile made its way inside of its own accord. gateshead, england Health and safety man brought down to earth. It was a health and safety demonstration that stretched the meaning of the words to their limit. Not only did one man’s instruction on how to use a ladder break every safety rule in the book but his health was seriously endangered when it toppled over. Paul Cavanagh’s attempt to teach a group of employees how to use a ladder got off to bad start when he climbed up without his hard hat. One of the group threw him the headgear as he stood on the ladder, which was leaning against a semidetached house. Mr Cavanagh, who was tethered to the ladder, took his hands off several times before his already shambolic demonstration took a turn for the worse. He slipped around the ladder, which crashed sideways over a fence and into a neighbouring garden – with Mr Cavanagh still tied to it. As he lay sprawled, one worker – who posted the footage on YouTube – said: ‘That proves the system doesn’t work.’ Mr Cavanagh has been suspended from his job at Morrison Facilities Services, which works with the Gateshead Housing Co to manage properties for the local council.

Upcoming Fringe Festival – Three Sisters at the Vic Hua Hin. Saturday, 12th November 2011, 7.30 pm The Japanese contemporary dancetheatre company, Pappa Tarahumara, re-interprets Antoon Chekov’s literary classic set in the rural Japan during the 1960s. It’s seemingly sweet portrayal of three bored sisters grappling with womanhood spirals in to a sensual and charged meditation on female identity, coming-of-age and the Japanese obsession with youth culture. This eccentric comic tragedy, narrated through dynamic choreography, is a powerfully condensed alternative to the company’s larger scale multidisciplinary works. Tickets for 900, 700 and 500 Baht (students 50 % discount) available at Vic Hua Hin: 032-827-814 to 815. More information on the Fringe Festival on page 12.

Featured Game Saturday, 12 November 2011 The FA Cup 1st round Leyton Orient v Bromley, 22:00 The first round proper of the oldest cup competition in the world of football does not have the glamour that the third round in January does, but these are huge games for the non-league, semiprofessional and amateur teams and players who get to take part. Orient are the ‘big’ team here, despite languishing in 18th place in League One, owned by a very high profile entrepreneur, Barry Hearn, who has been making a lot of noise in the last few months about the Olympic Stadium and how his club were going to tender to become the anchor tenants. Few have taken that proposal seriously though, given that in their current Brisbane Road ground they struggle to attract 5,000 in attendance. Bromley are in the Blue Square South division and are also struggling in 17th place, but the London derby and the ‘magic of the Cup’ may well play a part here. They are three leagues below Orient, and the last time they reached the Second Round was way back in 1945, although First round exploits have been more frequent, with seven appearances in all. There are games like this all over England on Saturday and Sunday, and as you would expect, normally the professional sides roll over their less illustrious opposition, but every season some of the minnows manage to swim against the flow and get to the Second, Third and even further rounds on occasion. The British public love the ‘giantkillers’ and it can only be hoped there will be a slew of them in the FA Cup this season. Whether Bromley will be one of them, who knows? Selected games are sometimes shown on Thai satellite and cable TV and they are normally worth watching, and will likely be much better entertainment than a bunch of overpaid mercenaries, thugs and racists playing for the England national team against their Spanish counterparts.

poppycock! london, england ENGLAND’S football players will protest against a poppy ban by taking to the field dressed as Nazi soldiers, it has been announced. As FIFA upheld the ban on the remembrance poppy because Sepp Blatter couldn’t work out how that would make him any money, the decision was made to show the world what an international friendly might have looked like without England’s wartime intervention. Besides England wearing ‘30s German military regalia, each player will come on holding the hand of an eerily-perfect blonde, blue eyed child, to really labour the point. Manager Fabio Capello said: “It’s an issue the whole squad feels very strongly about, especially John Terry who brought several costumes from home and has been advising all the
England to play spain dressed as stormtroopers in poppy protest

lads about the correct way to button up a Wermacht Feldbluse. In fact, we’ve really struggled to get him to wear the normal training kit at all and he’s even started insisting the team refer to him as ‘Herr Hauptmann’ instead of captain.” England players had requested that
London Bar and guesthouse
the poppies be added to their kit as part of their official annual ‘Not Acting Like Spoilt Pricks’ event, but FIFA’s refusal means they will have to think of some other way of behaving with an ounce of humility. FIFA spokesman Tom Logan insisted: “If England want to mark all the fine work the good people at Umbro or Nike do for football they can proudly display those companies’ large shiny emblems, but we have to draw the line at a small stitched flower.” Capello has fully supported England’s protest, adding: “If, or rather when Spain thrash us 7-0 this will merely be a satirical comment on what it would have been like if England had had the wartime fighting spirit of, if I’m being honest here, Italy.”
