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.. Once in a blue Call 087 155 7737 or 089 985 7473 moon Very rarely.

There are two likely answers for the origin of this phrase; 1. It’s the second full moon in a calendar month; 2. It’s when the moon looks blue.

Let’s start with 2. Very occasionally, the moon actually does appear to be blue. This sometimes occurs after a volcanic eruption, like that of Krakatao in 1883. Dust particles in the atmosphere are normally of a size to diffract blue light, making the moon appear reddish at sunset. Larger volcanic dust particles diffract red light, making the moon appear bluish.

Tempting as it is to suppose that something that happens very rarely, and which is mentioned by name in a phrase that means ‘very rarely’, is the source of the phrase, it probably isn’t.

Actual examples of the moon appearing blue would in fact be the exception that proves the rule, as the ‘blue moon’ was originally something that was considered not rare but impossible. The two notions, ‘a blue moon’ and ‘the moon is made of green cheese’, were synonyms for absurdity, like ‘pigs might fly’.

The ‘blue moon’ expression with the ‘impossibility’ meaning is old and dates back to mediaeval England. For example, a work by William Barlow, the Bishop of Chichester, the Treatyse of the Buryall of the Masse, 1528, included a sarcastic reference to a blue moon: ‘Yf they saye the mone is belewe, We must beleve that it is true.’

John Frith’s essay A pistle to the christen reader, 1529, included: “They wold make men beleue... that ye mone is made of grene chese.”

Only after several centuries, and after the original usage had long since died out, did ‘once in a blue moon’ come to mean something that didn’t happen very often. The earliest example found is in Pierce Egan’s Real Life in London, 1821: ‘How’s Harry and Ben? - haven’t seen you this blue moon.’

Moving on to answer No. 1. To explain that one we have to follow a long trail of etymological research, leading back to an American amateur astronomer called James Pruett.

Since 1819, The Maine Farmers’ Almanac has listed the dates of forthcoming blue moons. The compilers of the almanac had their own definition of what blue moons are. This derives from the fact that lunar and calendar months aren’t quite the same and that some years have 13 full moons. In a typical 12-moon year, the moons all have names, like the familiar ‘Harvest Moon’, ‘Hunter’s Moon’ etc. In a 13-moon year the extra moon is, somewhat arbitrarily, deemed to be the third moon in the season that has four rather than the usual three, and is called the ‘Blue Moon’. The aforementioned James Pruett read an edition of the Maine Farmers’ Almanac, but misinterpreted the system and printed the ‘second full moon in a month’ version in a 1946 edition of the Sky & Telescope Magazine. For some reason, probably because it ended up being printed as an answer in an early version of Trivial Pursuit, Pruett’s version has gained currency.

Two full moons in a month isn’t really all that rare an occurrence it happens approximately every three years. Despite it being both inaccurate and coined by mistake, Pruett’s No. 2 answer is now widely accepted as a definition of ‘blue moon’.

Weird News Huailai, China

World’s longest traffic jam – 10 days and counting The World’s longest traffic jam – in China – has now reached the 10-day mark.

Roadworks on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou highway in Huailai, in north China’s Hebei province, have caused a tailback that stretches to a mind-boggling, radiatortesting 60 miles.

The irony is that the roadworks are in place to alleviate congestion caused by thousands of coal trucks thundering into the city.

On the plus side, the giant gridlock has led to brisk business for roadside sellers, who’ve been peddling eggs, water and cigarettes to the frustrated drivers.

MORE: Five of the funniest tail-backs But on the downside, the stationary vehicles have made easy pickings for thieves, who’ve been plundering them as their drivers sleep – including siphoning off petrol - according to The Inner Mongolia Morning Post.

Bochum, Germany Polish man shot in head realises five years later A Polish man in Germany took five years to realise that he had been shot in the head, as he was drunk when it happened.

The 35-year-old in Bochum, west Germany, visited 6

doctors to have a lump removed from his head, assuming it was a cyst that had caused him recurring pains.

He was then left baffled by police claiming that they found a .22 calibre bullet in the back of his head (see x-ray above).

Although the man has a hazy recollection of the events, he stated he remembers receiving a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year’s party ‘in 2004 or 2005’, though he can’t remember because he was ‘very drunk’, according to a police spokesman.

‘He told us he remembered having a sore head, but that he wasn’t really one for going to the doctor,’ the spokesman said.

Local police aren’t treating the incident as suspicious, as they believe another reveller fired the gun towards the sky in celebration.

‘It may have been a shot fired up in the air which entered his head on the way down.’

The man is expected to be released from hospital later this week, after having the bullet removed last week.

Thanks to David for this one! euro-english The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as ‘Euro-English’ .

In the first year, ‘s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of ‘k’. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced with ‘f’. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent ‘e’ in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing ‘th’ with ‘z’ and ‘w’ with ‘v’.

During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘ou’ and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl Thanks to Grahame for this one! trivia I lost the trivia contest at the church social last night by one point and was totally embarrassed.

The last question was: “Where do most women have curly hair?” ... so I shouted out my answer.

Apparently the correct answer is Africa.

Your STARS

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 It’s really too bad you couldn’t have been defenestrated years ago when it was cool before everybody started using the word.

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 While you’re starting to despair, you must square your shoulders, set your jaw, take a deep breath, and try to hit the toilet with everything this time.

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You will definitely be remembered by all people for all time, a fact that should make you feel much more shame and disappointment than it may seem.

Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 Your belief that all problems can be solved by a heart-to-heart talk and a good night’s sleep will collapse this week when you discover mathematics.

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 This is a good week to start new projects, as long as they don’t take more than four days and won’t depress the people who find your body.

Gemini May 22 – June 21 This week you’ll show everyone that you can be stunningly sexy at 50, which is deeply troubling as you were 27 last week.

Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 You’ll finally make an effort to remove your mental blinkers, leaving the coroner to wonder why exactly you took the cordless drill to your temples.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 You’ll finally come to understand your own heart and mind, and by extension, exactly what everyone has been laughing at all these years.

Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 While life does often imitate art, it’s odd that yours imitates J.G. Ballards’ avant-garde fiction piece “The Assassination Of JFK Considered As A Downhill Motor Race.”

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 The stars foresee a lesson in humility this week when you try telling everyone about the “hot new band” Animal Collective, which the stars have been listening to for like forever.

Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You thought you had finally done something strikingly new and original, but it turns out that thousands of people already in the afterlife got there the exact same way you did.

Your Problems SOLVED

DEAR MARY, I am a 60 year old man living on a retirement visa in Hua Hin. My wife died 10 years ago and after living alone in our house for 5 years I decided to sell up and travel the world, when I found Hua Hin. I had a marvellous time as a single older man and lapped up everything in my guilt free freedom. However the town has changed dramatically in the last 5 years and from being a lovely place where the living was easy and the girls more so, I am finding myself disillusioned with the way things are going. Do you think that I am just missing the stability of my marriage, or do you think that the town has become something different and the people less friendly? All the stories about foreigners meeting untimely ends really have me worried and I am beginning to fear for my future here - is it safe for foreigners any more?

Nervous Norman, Hua Hin

Relationship woes?

Bar girl blues?

Sexual deviant?

Send your problem to Mary Ann Cotton on submissions@awolonline.net

Dear Norman, I have received many similar letters over the last few weeks, and I have to say that while I understand the worry caused by recent events, you only have to look at other parts of Thailand and the world to know that you are better off here. I can’t think of many places where the over 50’s are better catered for, except for medical care, schooling for their children, legal services and reliable domestic staff, but apart from that it is still a dreamland for the middle aged and older man who likes playing golf and meaningless relationships with bar girls. Granted the finances might be a bit tight at the moment with the inexplicably strong baht but most foreigners who retire here are so wealthy that shouldn’t matter a jot should it? Thats what my Thai friends tell me anyway, and they are normally right on the money. I suggest that you find yourself a nice Thai girl, build her a big house and just roll with the punches, while making sure you have a nice fat life insurance policy - that always gives peace of mind doesn’t it?

Blackpool v Fulham, 21:00 5 Bolton 2 2 4 We suspect this will be a tight 6 Birmingham 2 1 4 game and a draw.

7 Wolverhampton 2 1 4 Chelsea v Stoke, 21:00 2 1 4 Stoke must be dreading facing a 8 Tottenham 9 Newcastle 2 3 3 rampant Chelsea - home win.

10 Blackburn 2 0 3 Tottenham v Wigan, 21:00 After their two thrashings Wigan 11 Blackpool 2 -2 3 must be looking to tighten up. but 12 Aston Villa 2 -3 3 still a home win.

13 West Brom 2 -5 3 Wolves v Newcastle, 21:00 14 Fulham 2 0 2 An incredible game against Villa is 2 -1 1 unlikely to be repeated here - draw. 15 Sunderland 16 Everton 2 -1 1 Man Utd v West Ham, 23:30 2 -3 1 Last season’s frailties are still 17 Liverpool evident for the Hammers and no 18 Stoke 2 -2 0 let up here - home win.

19 West Ham 2 -5 0 Sunday, 29 August 2010 20 Wigan 2 -10 0 Bolton v Birmingham, 19:30 Both unbeaten so far and likely to remain so with a draw here.

Liverpool v West Brom, 21:00 Roy Hodgson (right) will be looking for a reaction to the defeat against Man City and we think he’ll get one - home win.

Sunderland v Man City, 21:00 Logic suggests a comfortable away win here and for once we are going to be logical.

Aston Villa v Everton, 22:00 Villa were taken apart last weekend unexpectedly, and we can’t see the same happening here - draw.

Flintoff comeback?

Still has role to play this season, insist breweries

lancashire, england News that Andrew Flintoff’s latest comeback from a long standing hangover has been delayed once again, has been met with huge disappointment from licensed victuallers around the country.

Flintoff (pictured right), who has never fully recovered from the hangover he sustained during the 2005 Ashes series against Australia, was advised by Lancashire’s medical team to give it a few more days before taking his sunglasses off and exposing himself to daylight once again.

The news prompted fears that unless the hangover clears up in time, the former England captain might not make the final drinking squad when the team leaves for Australia in November.

It was hoped that with a fully fit Flintoff leading the celebrations in the England dressing room once again, breweries could forget any worries about a double-dip recession and look forward to a dramatic increase in trade with record sales triggered by the winter tour down under.

The FTSE 100 was quick to respond with shares in Marstons and Heineken reaching a record

low, before rallying slightly on one of the worst days trading since Black Wednesday in 1992.

“It’s just a precaution,” Flintoff told reporters, “everybody knows I’ve picked up a few niggling hangovers over the last 12 months but this one’s nothing to worry about.”

“Unfortunately, once you’ve had a series of hangovers like I have, and you get to my age, it takes a while for the body to get over it.”

“I’ve done a few light pub lunches and thrown some extra barbecues at home. If there are no complications

there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be back hitting the bars and night clubs for six towards the end of August.”

“Clearly my days of drinking solidly over five days are over, the knees are just not up to it any more, but I still feel I’ve got something to offer the team in the shorter versions of any drinking game.”

Experts have warned that Flintoff should focus on the shorter forms of drinking, in the hope of extending his career beyond this year.

One physio told us, “He can still hold his own in a session on Mad Dog Twenty20, but he just can’t hit the top shelf like he used to.”

If he can stay fit, Flintoff hopes to finish the season with a bumper payday having already signed up for the IPA league in India.

When asked if he meant he would be playing in the IPL league, a bemused Flintoff replied, “No, I’ve signed up for the IPA league…

Indian Pale Ale.” “They’re day/night matches, we’ve got 200 barrels to knock off before close of play or we have to come back and finish it off the next day.

If that doesn’t keep me in the runs, then nothing will.”
