Persecution? No Music
hua hin, thailand Over the last couple of years, and possibly longer, there have been a growing number of comments and complaints made by businesses in the area with foreign connections, particularly bars, about the treatment they have been getting from the police. Most of these are concerning the large fines that many have had for a variety of offences ranging from not having the correct licences to working without a permit. The stories AWOL have been told also have a recurrent theme where no receipts are issued nor any formal procedures gone through to deal with these offences, and frequently they are accompanied with threats of the incarceration of the foreigner’s wife, girlfriend or staff until the requested payment is made. Understandably, the businesses in question never force the issue and pay the fine, and the timing of
No Football No games No Drinking?
the visits is often a factor in this, as they are apparently usually made on Friday evenings so any threatened incarceration would be throughout the weekend until the courts were open on the Monday. It is also difficult for the businesses to contact lawyers or others who could assist at this time. The latest issue to give cause for concern is the coverage of the World Cup; reports have been coming in from Pattaya and Phuket that bars are being fined for showing the games with an English commentary; this is apparently going a step further here in Hua Hin though, as AWOL has been
told that bars have been fined for just showing the games, despite the fact that they are being broadcast on public television stations. Whether there is a genuine breach of Thai law, a misunderstanding or just plain opportunism and corruption we can’t be sure, but the methods used to coerce the businesses to pay up, if true, are more akin to the Mafia than a law enforcement body. It seems that the foreigners with businesses here need to do something other than meekly pay Continued on page 2

Persecution? Continued from page 1 up when these incidents occur, but at the same time the mixture of intimidation, uncertainty of their legal position and the normal deference by their Thai partners and staff often leave them with no choice. Perhaps a way forward is for some sort of organisation to be formed to represent businesses with foreign involvement, who can be called upon at these times. This may, of course, be difficult, given the sometimes cuthroat nature of some of the businesses here, but something should be attempted to protect their interests and avoid the apparent persecution. Equally, if the behaviour and methods employed by the authorities here are being portrayed accurately, then this is something that should be acted on, but unfortunately this would seem unlikely given the nature of how

things work in Thailand at this time. One glimmer of hope is that some of the reports from other tourist destinations have said that some business owners have stood firm and refused to pay up, with the result being that the ‘hostage’ has been released and no charges pursued. If nothing has been done wrong then this is entirely the right course of action, but part of the problem is that many business owners do not feel as confident about this, nor wish to get on the wrong side of the authorities, fearing some sort of backlash at a later date. Given that many Thais are employed by these businesses, some of which could close if the level of fines persists, either the businesses themselves or the authorities need to do something to prevent this happening; better information, communication and a fairer application of the law might be a good start.

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.... My old Dutch Call 087 155 7737 or 089 985 7473 An affectionate term for wife. Unlike the many vaguely pejorative terms that the English have coined about their near neighbours, e.g. ‘Dutch courage’, ‘Dutch treat’, Dutch uncle’ etc., ‘my old Dutch’ has nothing at all to do with the Netherlands. The expression is often cited as an example of Cockney rhyming slang. It is certainly a slang term that originated in London, but it isn’t rhyming slang, as Dutch, being short for duchess, is an abbreviation rather than a rhyme. Some commentators have suggested that the expression is true CRS and that ‘Dutch’ is short for ‘Duchess of Fife’ and hence a rhyme for ‘wife’. This assertion isn’t supported by the facts. The term ‘Dutch’, meaning ‘woman of showy appearance’ was known by the early 18th century. Oliver Goldsmith referred to it in his comic play She Stoops to Conquer, 1773: “This Stammer in my address... can never permit me to soar above the reach of... one of the Duchesses of Drury-Lane.” The name was used later as an affectionate term for wife or mother. J. F. Mitchell’s ballad Jimmy Johnson’s Holiday, 1882 is the earliest use of ‘my old dutch’ that can be found and seems to be a reference to someone of close acquaintance: “Now he’d not a brown [a copper halfpenny], nor a friend in town, In fact he was quite undone; He made a vow he’d never row with his old Dutch again.” The granting of titles to the British aristocracy is a subject that is minutely recorded and those records come in handy at this point. The Earl of Fife was created the First Duke of Fife on 27th July 1889, on his marriage to Princess Louise Dagmar, the daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Until that date, there had been no title of Duchess of Fife. It is clear that the phrase came before the title and that ‘Duchess of Fife’ can’t be the source of ‘my old Dutch’. It was quite soon after Mitchell’s publication that the song that made the phrase well-known was popularised by the music-hall entertainer, Albert Chevalier. Chevalier was a popular London-based variety artist of the late Victorian era and was widely known by the abbreviation ‘AC’. That’s something of a mercy, as his full name was Albert Onésime Britannicus Gwathveoyd Louis Chevalier. The lyrics of My Old Dutch were written by Chevalier in 1893, probably as a tribute to his wife Florrie although, if so, the ‘been together now for forty years’ line is something of a stretch of artistic license, as the couple didn’t marry until October 1894. We’ve been together now for forty years, An’ it don’t seem a day too much, There ain’t a lady livin’ in the land As I’d swop for my dear old Dutch. The supposed association of ‘My old Dutch’ with Cockney rhyming slang has been strengthened by the linking of the phrase with Chevalier, whose stage persona was very much the Cockney ‘singing costermonger’. Amongst London costermongers, ‘dutch’ just meant ‘duchess’ - slang, yes, but rhyming, no. The Duchess of Fife lived a quiet life out of the public gaze, but her position in society made her name well-known. ‘Duchess of Fife’ did become used as rhyming slang for wife, but that was in the 20th century, long after ‘’Dutch’ and ‘my old Dutch’ were already well-established.

Weird News Tartu, Estonia
Estonia holds mosquito-catching championship The eyes of the world may be focused on the football in South Africa, but it’s not the only gripping sporting contest going on at the moment - Estonia has just held its first ever mosquito-catching championship. The pest control contest in the small Baltic state saw 37 competitors gather in a field in the city of Tartu. They were given 10 minutes to catch as many mosquitoes as possible in a small, designated area. ‘We have many mosquitoes and we must fight them somehow, so we decided to organise a mosquitocatching championship,’ said the event’s organiser, Triinu Akkermann. The competition rules allowed for the mosquitoes to be captured dead or alive, and competitors were allowed to work either alone or in teams of three. The competitors had a range of tactics worked out - with one, Jevgeny Serov, telling Reuters: We will warm up so we will start sweating a little then I will stand with bare hands and feet and my wife and daughter will pick mosquitoes off me.’ But eventually emerging triumphant was mosquitocatcher supreme Rauno Luksepp, who managed to take out 38 mosquitoes while getting repeatedly bitten to win the first prize of a sailing trip on Estonia’s Lake Peipus. 6
The idea of the contest came from Finland, where there have been mosquito-catching championships in the past. bavaria, Germany Student arrested over Hell’s Angels puppy attack and bulldozer getaway A German student has been arrested after he made an insulting gesture at a group of Hell’s Angels, then hurled a puppy at them before making his getaway on a stolen bulldozer. German police said on Monday that after making his getaway from the Hell’s Angels club, the 26-year-old dumped the bulldozer, causing a 3 mile traffic jam near the southern town of Allershausen in Bavaria. He then fled to his nearby home, where he was apprehended by the police. ‘What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell’s Angels is currently unclear,’ said a local police spokesman, in a strong contender for Deadpan Statement from a Police Spokesman of the Year. He did say that the student had lately been suffering from depression. The puppy was now in safe hands, he added.

Send your jokes to submissions@awolonline.net and get your name in print! 085 429 0378 Brought to you by The Railway Tavern The Duck A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich. The barman looks at him and says, “Hang on! You’re a duck.” “I see your eyes are working,” replies the duck. “And you can talk!” Exclaims the barman. “I see your ears are working, too,” Says the duck. “Now if you don’t mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?” “Certainly, sorry about that,” Says the barman as he pulls the duck’s pint. “It’s just we don’t get many ducks in this pub.. What are you doing round this way?” “I’m working on the building site across the road,” Explains the duck. “I’m a plasterer.” The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it. So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves. The same thing happens for two weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town. The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him. “You’re with the circus, aren’t you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!” “Sounds marvellous,” says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. “Get him to give me a call.” So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, “Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money.” “I’m always looking for the next job,” Says the duck.”Where is it?” “At the circus,” Says the barman. “The circus?” Repeats the duck. “That’s right,” Replies the barman. “The circus?” The duck asks again. “With the big tent?” “Yeah,” the barman replies. “With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?” says the duck. “Of course,” the barman replies. “And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?” persists the duck. “That’s right!” says the barman. The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says .. “What on earth would they want with a plasterer??!”

Your Problems SOLVED
Relationship woes? Bar girl blues? Sexual deviant? Send your problem to Mary Ann Cotton on submissions@awolonline.net
DEAR MARY, A man in Bangkok just became a local hero for stumbling across the body of a missing red shirt leader and reporting it to the police. Personally I don’t think he earned his fame. I’ve been looking for a minimum effort, impressive sounding gesture for months because the girl of my dreams thinks I’m an irresponsible, sick coward. How can I increase my chances of finding a dead body so that I can capture her attention? Are all corpse finds equally respectable or are some more impressive than others? Will one be enough? Nigel, Petchaburi
Dear Nigel, Well you’re probably living in the right place. If reports are to be believed Petchaburi is the place to go to find a ‘hit man’ and so there are likely to be plenty of murder victims’ bodies just waiting to be discovered. Colleges and libraries are a lot more likely to be beds of corruption than less picturesque locations such as Tha Yang and the more pretentious a person, the more likely they are to be surrounded by scandal, so hang out with some distinguished academics. You would greatly increase your chances of finding a corpse if you got yourself a dog and started walking it in overgrown areas. It might be hard to top a dead red shirt leader but murder cases in Petchaburi usually involve 2-3 deaths, so you may well be able to find more than one body. That should be enough to impress any girl. My psychic senses tell me this plan will go down well.

World Cup 2010
World Cup fixtures (all times/dates Thailand) Please see last week’s issue for Saturday’s predictions. Group stages had not finished at press time, so predictions can only be made for some of the following fixtures. Saturday, 26 June 2010 Uruguay v South Korea, 21:00 Two teams who were probably not expected to make any impact on this tournament but have impressed in the group stages. Very tough to call as both are well organised, efficient teams, but we think the extra flair will see the Uruguayans through. Sunday, 27 June 2010 USA v Ghana, 01:30 Their last gasp win over Algeria earns the USA a tricky match against the first (and possibly only) Arican qualifiers, who have shown themselves to be no mugs. Tough call, but we think the Ghanaians will prove to be a step too far for the US. Germany v England, 21:00 England’s improved performance still didn’t convert to many goals as they squeaked into the last 16 but maybe the knockout element will now favour them. However they are up against old adveraries Germany, who have a habit of destroying England’s World Cup hopes and will surely be favourites. Every England fan will be dreading this going to penalties, but we think Capello’s England will now kick on and win this in regular time. Monday, 28 June 2010 Argentina v Mexico, 01:30 This promises to be a great match, with the added edge of relatively local rivalry. Argentina have sailed through the group stages but this will be a different matter and is likely to go to the wire. Argentina to progress though. Winner E v Runner-up F, 21:00 Likely to be Netherlands v Italy, and if so a real struggle for either team to qualify. On form so far though you have to fancy the Dutch, but a narrow victory.

World Cup Fantasy League Can current holders Italy (above) progress? Tuesday, 29 June 2010 Winner G v Runner-up H, 01:30 Likely to be Brazil v Chile; a mouthwatering prospect as it always is when two South American teams meet, although Chile’s diving and cheating are a bit nauseating. Brazil to go through. Winner F v Runner-up E, 21:00 Likely to be Paraguay v Japan. Two good, hard working teams who are likely to largely cancel each other out if this is the match up. A likely penalty shoot out with Paraguay progressing. Friday, 2 July 2010 Winner H v Runner-up G, 01:30 Likely to be Spain v Portugal. Another tie that will have the fans salivating and well worth staying up for if it happens.Spain went into their last group game with a chance of going out of the World Cup so this match up is very uncertain though. However pre-tournament favourites Spain should step up to the plate here and go through.

Quarter Final Wnr E/R-Up F v Wnr G/R-Up H, 21:00 Second guessing of the highest order here! Possible match up of the Netherlands v Brazil, which has all the hallmarks of a great game if it turns out that way. Brazil are a very efficient team with of course some magic, while the Dutch are a more flowing side. Another tough call but we suspect the Brazilians will do enough to leave the Dutch rueing a missed opportunity.

England 1966 World Cup win ‘faked by NASA’
hua hin, thailand A leading ex-NASA scientist has gone on record to confirm one of the longest-standing conspiracies in the football world: that the American space agency faked footage of the 1966 tournament in order to imply an England win. Dr Robert Wellington – who worked for the agency throughout the sixties and seventies – spoke out following ongoing speculation on the internet. “We needed a practice run for the moon thing,” he said, from his home in Florida. “And the soccer world cup seemed just the job. We wanted to see if we could delude an entire nation that they could achieve something that was frankly unimaginable. And it worked perfectly.” “But we had absolutely no idea that it would become a recurring delusion,” he added. The ‘live broadcast’ of the famous 1966 final was, in fact, pre-recorded at Shepperton Studios, then best known for the Boulting Brothers series of comedy films. “We set up a goal at one end and then used a mixture of live action
Right: the faked controversial third goal created using wires; note how the shadows are too short for an English summer’s day and models to simulate the game,” recalls Dr Wellington. “It was very advanced for the time, although we did make mistakes that eventually people picked up on. Some of the shadows were wrong, and we presented Alan Ball at completely the wrong scale.” “The US government were happy to pay, as long as we figured out a way to incorporate a Russian looking stupid.” The hoax paved the way for NASA’s famous moon landing footage of 1969. But in its way, the English dry-run proved more successful. “Even forty years on, everybody still talks about our world cup work,” comments Dr Wellington.
“Whereas if you come to the States, nobody really mentions the moon landings any more.” “Except Buzz Aldrin,” he adds. “The English FA did approach us with a view to recreating the project for 2010. They sent us some tapes and everything,” reveals Dr Wellington. “But what you have to realise is that for hoaxes to work, they need at least a small element of plausibility. We now have immensely powerful CGI techniques, green screens and animatronic facilities. But we’ve looked at your Emile Heskey – and we can’t do anything with that.”
