Good News and Bad For Hua Hin Barhops
hua hin, thailand A flurry of changes affecting the bars of this area, and beyond, brings some good and some bad news to the bar business and its patrons. The good news, for Danish beer lovers in particular, is that Carlsberg is making a return in draught form to selected outlets in the area. Carlsberg disappeared from Thai drinking establishments several years ago, despite being, and possibly because it was a dominant force in the beer market. Possibly the best comeback in the world is due to happen in two to three months time, as the beer will be imported from Malaysia, according to our source at the Lost Cafe in Khao Takiab, who plan to stock the beer. The unfortunate contrasting bad news is that there is a strong possibility that Guinness, available
in several places in the area, may become in short supply, as the contract for the existing distributor has apparently expired, while the new distributor has yet to get their hands on any of the black stuff, although fortunately there was plenty available for St Patrick’s Day last Wednesday! Another slightly less worrying piece of news concerning bar life is that the satellite that shows the South African Supersport
channel is shutting down on 31st May, leaving rugby and cricket enthusiasts potentially stranded. However, Lost Cafe, who brought us this news, has announced at the same time that they will be taking up the slack by installing a new high definition system showing most sports, including, hopefully the World Cup in English.

Do you wonder why we say certain things, or what they really mean? Each week we will examine a different word or phrase and telly UK Sausages, Ham, you how it came about. Bacon, Pies, Teas etc. This week it is... On your tod Call 087 155 7737 or 089 985 7473 On your own. This is one of the best-known examples of Cockney rhyming slang (on your tod -> on your Tod Sloan -> on your own). It’s a common device of rhyming slang to use the name of a popular celebrity. James Forman (Tod) Sloan was born in Indiana in 1874 and overcame neglect and poverty in his early life to become a highly successful jockey. Initially rejected by his parents, his life changed when he discovered his talent as a jockey and began to win prestigious and lucrative races. His success was based on the short-stirrup style of riding, sitting high on the horse’s neck, which he developed himself - called the ‘monkey crouch’. Despite his start in life as an uneducated and malnourished street urchin, Sloan lived the American dream by becoming one of the world’s best-known sportsmen. He adopted the name Todhunter and embarked on a flamboyant lifestyle, complete with fast cars, adoring women and a personal valet. George M. Cohan’s song The Yankee Doodle Boy, from the show Little Johnny Jones, was based on Sloan’s life: I’m a Yankee Doodle dandy, A Yankee Doodle, do or die; A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam’s, Born on the Fourth of July. I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, She’s my Yankee Doodle joy. Yankee Doodle came to London, Just to ride the ponies, I am a Yankee Doodle boy. Having won all there was to win in America, Sloan turned his attention to England - then the epicentre of the racing establishment. In 1897 he was engaged by the Prince of Wales as his principal rider. Sloan was initially ridiculed for his riding style and was called ‘monkey jockey’ by the English press. He continued his winning ways though and a considerable tide of resentment grew against his success, but also against his brashness and allegations of his illegal betting on his own races. He was personally disliked by many of his acquaintances as his lack of social graces often lead to him being considered rude and disdainful. Sloan’s fall from grace was as spectacular as his previous success. Following pressure the steward of The Jockey Club, the sport’s controlling body, The Prince of Wales dismissed him. In December 1900, The New York Times reported that: “Now the Prince of Wales has thrown him over no English owner is likely to employ him.” He was later informed by The Jockey Club that he “need not apply for a licence” for the 1901 season due to unspecified “conduct prejudicial to the best interests of the sport”. There were allegations of jealousy and antiAmericanism in the US press. These were no doubt justified but it seems that the primary motivation was that they just didn’t like him. Whatever the cause, the racing ban was upheld in America too and his career was effectively over. After some ill-fated attempts to open businesses and break into film acting, Sloan faded from public view. He was married and divorced twice but died alone, of cirrhosis, in 1933. It is rather poignant that Sloan’s name should have become synonymous with solitude. Both his early and late life seem lonely and depressing. In his autobiography, called with some feeling ‘Tod Sloan by Himself’, he wrote of his sadness at being abandoned by his long-dead parents - “I was left alone by those I have never ceased to grieve for”.

Weird News New Jersey, USa
Police hunt ‘The Midnight Knitter’
A guerilla knitter is gradually covering a New Jersey town in brightly coloured wool - and authorities have no clue who the rogue crafter is. An unknown person or persons - dubbed ‘The Midnight Knitter’ by West Cape May residents - is covering tree branches and lamp poles with little sweaters under cover of darkness. Mayor Pam Kaithern says police are looking into the knitted graffiti, which is technically against the law, as it is being done on public property without 6
permission. However, the mayor and many residents admit they’re delighted by the woolly rainbow of colours that has popped up. ‘We don’t know who it is. Technically, they shouldn’t be doing it. The police are asking about it, but it’s fun and it’s a mystery,’ Kaithern told local newspaper The Press of Atlantic City. And she added that she’s not even that keen for police to get to the bottom of the affair. ‘Lets’ keep it a mystery,’ she said. The knitter even has a website, a Facebook page and a MySpace, under the name of ‘Salty Knits’, where they describe themselves as ‘Knitters that got sick of knitting kitten mittens.’ The Facebook page is filled with overwhelmingly positive comments about the undercover needlework. One said: ‘Don’t give in to requests for you all to identify yourselves . . . just keep doing what you’re doing. Mystery is nice.’ The rogue knitter is happy with the attention the woolwork has been getting - but is now concerned that the added attention may make it harder to carry out their work, saying on Facebook a few hours ago: ‘Today has been so crazy. Now we have to figure out how to put new tags up without being spotted!’ Guerilla knitting has been an increasingly widespread phenomenon over the past few years, with yarn enthusiasts taking to the streets of cities around the world to encase parts of them in wool.

Send your jokes to submissions@awolonline.net and get your name in print! 085 429 0378 Brought to you by The Railway Tavern $10,000 to talk to god? An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world. He bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North . On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read ‘$10,000 per call’ . The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for . The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God . The American thanked the priest and went along his way . Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was . She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God . ‘O.K., thank you,’ said the American . He then travelled all across America , Africa, England , Japan , New Zealand . In every church he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same ‘$US10,000 per call’ sign under it. . The American decided to travel to Scotland to see if Scots had the same phone . He arrived in Scotland and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read ‘40 pence per call.’ The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign . ‘Father, I’ve travelled all over the world and I’ve seen this same golden telephone in many churches . I’m told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call . Why is it so cheap here?’ The priest smiled and answered, ‘You’re in Scotland now, son - it’s a local call’ . women Catholic schools I stopped my wife from sucking her Little Zak was doing very badly in maths.

brought to you by Litigation has been flying through the air this week as Spanky once again failed to deliver his contractual obligations, giving AWOL no choice but to invoke the Monkey Business penalty clause, which states that “the contractor must run through the red shirted mob shouting ‘Down with Thaksin’”.
Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 All of your questions will be answered this week, moments after the zookeeper, the fire marshal, and the roller-coaster operator all tell you, “No.” Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18 The attention is nice and all, but in the end, you put your pants on just like everyone else: One thirty million dollar cybernetic leg at a time. You’ll finally find the answer you’ve been searching for, moments after ruling out A., B., and multiple choice C. Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20 What’s the matter? Couldn’t find your precious People magazine horoscopes this week? Oh, you want your fortune, do you? Here’s your fortune: Go die, asshole. Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19 Try listening to your body this week. It’s got a bunch of really great stories about hanging out with Jimmy Page. Nightingales are known for their sweet, often melodious song. However, the one outside your window seems way more interested in Dancehall Reggae. Taurus Apr 20 - May 20 Sure, they might blame you now, but how were you supposed to know the waters were unsafe at Everyone Always Gets Killed Beach. Gemini May 21 - Jun 21 After days of searching, you’ll finally find comfort this week. Just above “comforter,” and right below “confit.” Try not to hold onto any animosity you may feel toward your coworkers this week, as that asshole Dave would probably love it if you did.

Cancer Jun 22 - Jul 22 Internal bleeding is usually a sign of serious trauma, so relax, you and your blood-soaked clothes are totally fine. The doctors will soon treat you for an acute case of tuberculosis, but don’t be alarmed: They’re mostly just bored. Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22 By this time next year, you’ll be 400,000 dollars richer, two cars the better, and just as gullible as you are now. Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22 Sometimes in life you just have to march right in there, introduce yourself, fight off a couple of rather large security guards, and demand a raise. Libra Sep 23 - Oct 23 Remember: Guns aren’t toys. Except for the plastic toy kind. Or the high-powered rifle kind, which you can totally use to have a ton of fun. Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 21 Speed-dating may not have worked for you in the past, but this time, try it without so much methamphetamine in your system. Your two packa-day habit will finally kill you this week, but then, that’s a lot of wolves to fight off. Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21 Sometimes you wish your kids had come with an instruction manual, but then, that’s the price you pay for getting them second-hand. The stars foresee a time of great uncertainty in the day to come. Also, the stars foresee a time of great covering their collective asses in the days to come.

Your Problems SOLVED
Mary’s 13 year old daughter once again shows her Mum how its done this week... DEAR MARY, My husband is a wonderful individual and we have enjoyed several relatively happy years together. The only problem is that he’s very conservative in his tastes and he prefers to have sex in the missionary position with the curtains drawn than try out things that I like doing, such as dressing up in preposterously lewd under-garments and thrashing each other with a leather cat o’ nine tails. I’ve tried to raise the issue with him but he just turns up the volume on Fox News and ignores me. What should I do? Denise, Tha Wang
Relationship woes? Bar girl blues? Sexual deviant? Send your problem to Mary Ann Cotton on submissions@awolonline.net
Dear Denise, I once had a hamster called Hammy who was going to be my bestest friend in the whole world until I realised he was a deeply flawed individual. He was obsessed with going round and round on his wheel for hours on end and whenever I managed to coax
him out of his cage to play with me, all he did was sit there, doing nothing aside from depositing small poops all over my school jumper. My friend Jemima, on the other hand, had a pet puppy called Mika who was millions better than rubbish Hammy. Everyone used to love visiting Jemima and Mika and playing with them in the park after school, while I was stuck all alone watching Hammy sleeping or chewing on cardboard toilet rolls. Naturally, after some time, I decided that he and I should part ways, and I set him free in the garden so I could go and play with Jemima and Mika like all my other friends. When my mummy found Hammy the next day, he was dead, having been savagely mauled by a cat. My mummy said it would teach me a valuable lesson about coping with grief, when in fact the main thing I learned from the experience was that hamsters are rubbish. Your husband sounds like more of a Hammy than a Mika, and the sooner you send him on his way, the sooner you can start to enjoy life.

Football Preview Premier League (all times Thai) Saturday, 20 March 2010 Aston Villa v Wolves, 19:45 Two teams scrapping for points at opposite ends of the table should make for a great Midlands derby. Villa to snatch it by the odd goal. Everton v Bolton, 22:00 Bolton have eased away from the relegation scrap, but defeat here could put them right back in it. And we are predicting that. Portsmouth v Hull, 22:00 The struggle against adversity both on and off the pitch seems to have given Pompey new purpose and we can see them getting all the points against a poor Hull team. Stoke v Tottenham, 22:00 Stoke are no pushovers at home and Spurs might struggle to win this one. In fact, we think Stoke’s physical style will grab a win. Sunderland v Birmingham, 22:00 Sunderland could find themselves in trouble soon, despite their draw last weekend. Birmingham are safe and playing confidently and we think could get the win here. Wigan v Burnley, 22:00 The six pointers are coming thick and fast, with both in desperate need of the points. Burnley have been so poor away though its hardly worth them turning up - home win. Sunday, 21 March 2010 Arsenal v West Ham, 00:30 Another London derby hot on the heels of their drubbing at the hands of Chelsea, but the Hammers have a good record against the Gunners. However, Zola’s teams and tactics are under fire and confidence seems to be draining away. Home win. Man Utd v Liverpool, 20:30 Being trumpeted as always as one of the games of the season, but we don’t think it lives up to the billing. We don’t Liverpool can test United, so this will be a home win. Fulham v Man City, 22:00 The scoreline last week was a little unfair on Fulham, and we expect them to do better against City. A good game for the fans and we expect a few goals too and a draw.

European football. Home win. Man City v Everton, 02:45 Two more of the Euro contenders and this will be close. Everton to grab a surprise away win. Portsmouth v Chelsea, 02:45 Stranger things have happened but the odds of Chelsea losing or even drawing here are remote, and who are we to argue? Away win. Blackburn v Birm’ham, 03:00 Probably the toughest game of the week to predict as the two team’s preceding games could have a big mental effect. Thats why we are predicting a draw.

CAPELLO SETS WORLD CUP ARREST TARGET
london, england ENGLAND must finish in the top four sides arrested for lewd and uncontrollable drunkenness during the 2010 World Cup, Fabio Capello said yesterday. The England manager warned that vodka-soaked Eastern Europeans now pose a serious threat while the Germans and the Danes are used to drinking out of huge beer glasses all night and vomiting on each other’s feet. Capello also repeated Pele’s famous prediction that during his lifetime, an African team would get absolutely trousered and set fire to a nightclub. He added: “The high altitude and cheap alcohol give us the best chance in a generation of being deported by the end of the second week. And the increased physical fitness of players these days means they can push each other round in shopping trolleys for hours on end until they get arrested.” Capello said: “We have some very experienced obnoxious drunken morons but it’s often the younger players who drink without fear and provoke the sort of breathtaking 300man brawl that can have everyone back on the plane and heading for Gatwick by Capello hopes one sunrise.” In addition, the Italian hopes to bring England’s flair for freaky sex offences of his players will to the world’s greatest sports contest. He said: “One player showed me some clips on defile an endangered his iPhone. I haven’t been able to look at a jam doughnut since.” rhinoceros
