Simon Says - Thank You
hua hin, thailand Last month we reported that a well known local expat, Simon Dee, had a motorcycle accident and was in Hua Hin Hospital being treated. Last week a fund raising party was held for him by his friends and family, and this is what he said to them, and wanted us to share with the readers of AWOL. “Dearest Friends, Hi. It’s been a weird month or so, and it just gets weirder. I don’t get out much at the moment – so I downloaded AWOL online this week. Imagine my surprise when I recognized the cartoon style of a friend I’ve known since we were seven. Closer inspection brought tears to my eyes. That’s been happening a lot lately. I don’t know if I’m supposed to be here, but I do have one or two things to say. So I thought now would be a good time. A month ago I had a motorcycle accident. Tor, my girlfriend of nearly a year, known to some of you falang as Toi, was first on the bloody scene. My brother, Jonathan, soon
Simon (white shirt) with Chris from Monica’s (pointing) and friends after. And then Tor’s daughter Cookie and my son, Alan also saw the mess and I’m sorry for that. They took me to Hua Hin Hospital Steve Light Beer and wife, Wan, also went to the hospital and Chris too I think. But I didn’t know what was going on. Saying things like : ‘I want to go home’ and ‘take my shoes off’. Jonathan and Tor kept me under control and probably saved my life as I had a head injury too, and there were bones sticking out of my right arm. In hospital, people came every single day for over a month. I got phone calls and text messages while my secretary brought in print outs
of well-wishing e-mails. People brought me books and DVDs People brought me juices and gourmet foods. My hospital fridge would be the envy of any falang. Some people came two or three times a week and I was a regular Stop on Steve Light Beer’s daily bicycle trips. You all kept me sane and happy at a time when I needed it most. I hope I can repay you just a little for the comfort you gave me. My son came after school and gave me hugs. My Computer and Electrical Business continued, with my excellent staff looking after the Continued on page 2

Simon Says - Thank You Continued from page 1 details. While I directed from my hospital bed. Jonathan Hampshire another friend from schooldays, and more recent addition to the Hua Hin Community, helped me to understand the decisions I had to make and put the choices in perspective as he researched informed sources. In the end, the foot had to go for my own good. But it was Tor who was with me 24 hours a day 31 days a month who was my real strength My Nurse No.1. She cleaned me and fed me everyday. I was the cleanest patient in Hua Hin Hospital.” [Jon Hampshire: “It was the cleanest he’s been in his life.”] Damn hecklers. I hope I thanked her enough. When I requested Morphine for the pain I know I told her of my strong love for her, thanked her for the day and told her she was the best friend I ever had. I usually had about 90 dreamy seconds to get that out before I was out for the count. I love you Tor and always will. And I’m sorry about those two bedpans. MY POINT IS THIS. The Hua Hin Expat Community and Thai friends is strong, important and must be preserved. I was, and still am, honoured and humbled to experience the community in it’s finest hour. Please raise your glasses to the Hua Hin Expat Community and our Thai Friends. 2
Oh and the other thing. To thank everyone, when I have my new leg and can get around properly. I shall be hosting a thank you party for all of you. But I’m not telling you where or when. Well, I might mention it in AWOL. Thank you and I Love you all.” Simon sent AWOL a fuller article, fleshing out the details of his accident and subsequent experiences, which we didn’t have space for, but the whole thing can be found on the AWOL Forum (www.awolonline. net/forum). The party for him was a huge success, and over 18,000 baht was raised (anyone wishing to make a donation please contact Chris at Monicas Bar, Soi 88, or call 081 192 1976), and the photos shown hopefully capture the spirit of the evening. We wish Simon all the best in his recuperation, and we should all take heart from the show of support.

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 UK Sausages, Ham, you how it came about. Bacon, Pies, Teas etc. This week it is.... Cotton on to Call 087 155 7737 or 089 985 7473 The phrase ‘cotton on to’, with the above meaning, appears to be limited in usage to the UK and other countries that were previously part of the British Empire, notably Australia and New Zealand. In the USA, especially in the southern states, ‘cotton to’ is used, with the slightly modified meaning of ‘take a liking to’. As early as 1648, in a pamphlet titled Mercurius Elencticus, mocking the English parliament, the royalist soldier and poet Sir George Wharton used ‘cotton’, or as it was spelled then ‘cotten’, as a verb meaning ‘to make friendly advances’. ‘Cotten up to’ and ‘cotten to’ were both used to mean ‘become friendly with’. Whether this was as a reference to the rather annoying predisposition of moist raw cotton to stick to things or whether it alluded to moving of cotton garments closer together during a romantic advance isn’t clear. John Camden Hotten, in his Slang Dictionary, 1869, opted for the former derivation: Cotton, to like, adhere to, or agree with any person; “to COTTON on to a man,” to attach yourself to him, or fancy him, literally, to stick to him as cotton would. The number of citations that use ‘cottening’ in a courtship context and the use of the ‘cottening up’ variant would suggest the latter is more likely. For example, William Congreave’s comic play Love for Love, 1695: I love to see ‘em hug and cotten together, like Down upon a Thistle. The attaching of cotton strands to the bobbins of weaving looms is sometimes also cited as a source of ‘cottoning on’, but there appears to be no basis for that notion. None of the early citations of the phrase mention that context. ‘Cottoning on’ as we now use it derives from the meaning of ‘attaching oneself to something’, specifically an attachment to an idea that we haven’t encountered before. It would seem to be a reasonable bet that at least one of the variants of this phrase would have been coined in one of the major English-speaking cotton producing regions of the world, for example India or the USA. Not so; which gives more credibility to the notion that this phrase has little to do with the cotton plant. ‘Cotton to’ was coined in the UK and the first widespread uses of ‘cotton on to’ were in New Zealand and Australia. The earliest example found of this is from the New South Wales newspaper The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser, March 1883, reporting on a local horse race: A lot [of backers] then cottoned on to Sahara, who was a strong favourite. This citation was closely followed by a reference in a New Zealand newspaper The Wanganui Herald, June 1893: The Kaierau forwards are just beginnng to cotton on to the passing game. It seems that ‘cotton to’, ‘cotton on to’ all derive from the same root source, i.e. the verb ‘to cotton’. In the UK and its antipodes it has settled down as ‘cotton on to’, with the meaning ‘form an understanding of’ and in the USA it is ‘cotton to’, with the ‘take a liking to’ meaning.

Weird News tokyo, japan
Teacher wants sex with students to say sorry for Japanese invasion A history teacher has offered to have sex with Chinese students at her college in Japan to apologise for her country’s invasion of China in 1937. Anri Suzuki, 24, from Tokyo - has a doctorate in Sino-Japanese history, but said she had specialised in studying the Japanese invasion of China and was ashamed by what her countrymen had done. She said: “We have to respect the lessons of history and although we cannot obliterate it we can try and make recompense. I want to cure the wounds of China with my body, and I offer to do this by having sex with Chinese students in Japan.” “I think it would be a symbolic compensation for them,” she added. AWOL edit: It turns out that this is actually a Japanese adult movie star who has a doctorate, but still - lucky Chinese! 6
bali, indonesia Man forced to marry cow faints at wedding A teenager collapsed during his marriage to a cow he had earlier been caught having sex with after claiming it had flirted with him. Unemployed Ngurah Alit, 18, was seen in a Bali paddy field standing naked behind the animal. He claimed he believed the cow was a young and beautiful woman, and it had seduced him with flattering compliments. He was then forced to marry the cow to cleanse the coastal village of Yeh Embang of the bestiality. But during the ritual Alit passed out as locals and police – drafted in to keep journalists at bay – looked on and his mother began screaming, according to Detik.com. One villager said: ‘Poor kid. He’s actually a quiet kid.’ Alit quickly then became a widower when his new bride was drowned in the sea as part of the Pecaruan ritual. Alit was only symbolically drowned and bathed on the beach. Chief Ida Bagus Legawa declared that the village had then been ‘cleansed’ from the ‘defilement from the incident.’

When she asked how her grandfather had died, her you 500 baht and a piece of candy.” grandmother replied, he had a heart attack while we were The boy refuses and keeps on walking.

You’ll have to live with it!” be alive today!” SUNDAY SEX (2) A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is not sure if sex is work or play. So he goes to a priest and asks for his opinion on this question. After consulting the Bible, the priest says, “ My son, after an exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on Sundays.” The man thinks: “ What does a priest know about sex?” So he goes to a minister, who after all is a married man and experienced in this matter. He queries the minister and receives the same reply. Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath! Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out the ultimate authority: a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge. In other words, he goes to a rabbi. The Rabbi ponders the question, then states, “ My son, sex is definitely play.” The man replies, “Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others tell me sex is work?” The Rabbi softly speaks, “If sex were work, my wife would have the maid do it.”

DEAR MARY, I am recovering in hospital after a most frightful experience over the last week or so. I had a state of the art High Definition television set and complete home theatre package installed at my house and ordered the True Visions HD coverage of the World Cup football, all to be viewed in my purpose built sound proof room, a must as we seem to have the noisiest neighbours in Thailand. So there I was, settled into my Laz-y-boy recliner, ice cold beer in hand, snacks and pizza within arms reach, ready for a fiesta of football. And then it started. The noises in my head, an incessant buzzing sound, like a thousand angry wasps. I called in the home theatre installer and he could find nothing wrong; the electrician, the pest controller and turned the room upside down to see if some tart had left a mobile phone or vibrator there. But nothing, and still the noise, that terrible noise. Is it me, am I going insane as the doctors here seem to think? Please help me. Terry Innitus, Hua Hin
Dear Mr Innitus, While I don’t share your obsessive love of football, I can sympathise with the situation you find yourself in. Just by chance I caught one of the matches on television while I was on a brief visit to the UK, and I can confirm that there is a terrible droning noise that goes on at points during the matches, but only those shown on ITV apparently, and only before the match, at half time and afterwards, and I was informed that this is known as the ‘Adrian Chiles Effect’ and that the whole of the UK has been suffering. Maybe there is some similar condition in Thailand? The only other possibility I can think of is that you have forgotten to make the necessary adjustment to the ‘Vuvuzela switch’ which apparently all audio visual equipment purchased in recent months comes with; it is very fiddly by all accounts and some equipment has been wrongly labelled as the ‘Put a sock in it’ switch. But of course you might just be insane.

World Cup 2010
World Cup fixtures/predictions (all times/dates Thailand) Please see last week’s issue for Saturday’s predictions. Sunday, 20 June 2010 Cameroon v Denmark, E, 01:30 Both sides need to win to stay in the competition. Cameroon to do it. Slovakia v Paraguay, F, 18:30 The winner here will likely be the second qualifier but it will be close; Paraguay to edge it. Italy v New Zealand, F, 21:00 A total mismatch; Italy win. Monday, 21 June 2010 Brazil v Ivory Coast, G, 01:30 We can see this being a draw between the likely qualifiers. Portugal v N. Korea, G, 18:30 Easy win for Portugal. Chile v Switzerland, H, 21:00 Entertaining game and a draw. Tuesday, 22 June 2010 Spain v Honduras, H, 01:30 The Hondurans have some quality players, but not enough; Spain win. France v South Africa, A, 21:00 The results of game two were not known at the time of these predictions, but we expect France to win. Mexico v Uruguay, A, 21:00 Should decide who qualifies, and we think Mexico will win and do so. Wednesday, 23 June 2010 Greece v Argentina, B, 01:30 Likely that Greece are already out and Argentina through, so a win for Maradona’s boys. Nigeria v South Korea, B, 01:30 This will probably decide who joins Argentina and we think Nigeria can do it. Slovenia v England, C, 21:00 We expect a still improving England to just qualify with a draw here. USA v Algeria, C, 21:00 Everything points to a US win but this is our shock result, with Algeria nicking it. Thursday, 24 June 2010 Australia v Serbia, D, 01:30 This is another game that will probably decide who goes through with Germany, and we are sticking with Serbia.

Expat misses Robert Green jokes
hua hin, thailand A Hua Hin expat this morning shocked the community by declaring that he had not heard a single Robert Green joke following Saturday’s goalkeeping howler against the United States. James Turbitt, 28, watched the match along with millions of others, but has had limited contact with others since the final whistle blew at approximately 3:30am on Sunday morning. He told reporters, “No, I’ve not heard a single Rob Green joke. My phone ran out of battery, and I simply forgot to charge it. I didn’t watch much telly after the game, and then I read a book for most of Sunday. Then I’ve been busy at work. Why, are there some funny
ones out there already?” Turbitt went on to confirm he hadn’t heard the one about the team being ‘right behind Green’, or the one about wishing John Terry had slept with Green’s missus, or even the highly derivative Rob Green condoms which ensure you won’t catch anything. “I feel like I’ve missed out on an important part of England’s
history. The race to forward a joke written by someone else to all of your friends defines what it is to be a man in the modern world.” “If only I hadn’t started reading that bloody book. I knew this wasteful hobby of mine would one day bite me on the arse. But I’m sure I can still come up with something original, though.” “Has anyone done a joke comparing Green’s ’spill’ with BP? Yeah? What about ‘dropped balls’, maybe something about Justin Bieber? Wait, that’s been done too?!” “I swear this won’t happen again. Next time an England player does something embarrassing I’m going to spend the next 24 hours glued to my phone and computer like absolutely everybody else.”
VUVUZELA FEVER IN HUA HIN hua hin, thailand
Vuvuzela sales are booming in the town as the streets are coming alive to the vibrant sound of happy workers blowing into their plastic African trumpets without a care in the world. Nok, who works in Soi Binthabaht, said: “It usually starts with one person blowing theirs for no particular reason, then a few more people join in and within 30 seconds you have an utterly deafening racket that lasts for seven or eight minutes before it gradually starts to fizzle out. At the moment, that’s happening about three or four times an hour.” Nathan Muir, an accountant from Stevenage who is on holiday here, said: “I bought this thing about three years ago to help me communicate less effectively with my wife, but I didn’t realise it had other applications. How fantastic. I shall obviously use it to fanfare my arrival and departure to the bars, but I think I’ll also take it with me to the lavatory so that I can proclaim the birth of my morning crap.” Meanwhile, Peter, a bar owner in Soi 80, has encouraged his staff to use the vuvuzelas to deal with stingy or abusive customers by emitting a sustained PAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP until they go away.
