road to Papayita nowhere? Bar soi selakam
canal road being prepared for what?
hua hin, THAILAND It will very likely be some time before anything concrete emerges, but something is afoot along the canal road. From the traffic lights heading north as far as the Palm Hills Golf Course entrance, work is being carried out to clear the land on the east side of the road - trees are being cut down, and bulldozers and other heavy equipment are being used to level the ground. It is clear that some forethought had gone into this stretch of road from when it was first built, as the original utility poles and permanent structures on that side of the road are all set well back, so the assumption currently being made is that the road will be widened on this stretch so that it matches the dual carriageway that exists going towards the town; a further assumption is that this could be intended to take some of the traffic off Phetkasem Road. However, it is not at all clear, if these assumptions are correct, how the extra traffic that would use the road would be dealt with at either end, and in particular the area by the Pae Mai Driving Range, which is already a bottleneck as the traffic both joins the Pala-U Road and then subsequently heads towards the railway crossing. AWOL is endeavouring to find out what the plans are, but we have so far drawn a blank. The amount of new buildings that have sprouted on that side of the canal road suggests that some are aware of the plan and spot a business opportunity, and if it is to become part of an ‘inner bypass’ that runs all the way down to the south of the town it will indeed be a much needed addition to the town’s infrastructure, and will certainly create opportunities. We can only hope at this stage that there is a plan, but as soon as we have solid information we will bring it to you. If you know anything why not let everyone else know about it on the AWOL Forum at www.awolonline.net/forum.

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...Gaff (Thanks to Torry at the Beer O’Clock Club for suggesting this) Gaff is a word that crops up in a number of phrases, most notably ‘blow the gaff’ and ‘come round my gaff’ (and variations of both), and has several meanings. It’s not so common these days, though it’s still about, as in this use in the London Evening Standard in 2010: Before Danny blew the gaff, all we knew of the Bank’s debates about monetary policy was gleaned from the dull, jargon-ridden tones of the monthly minutes and the quarterly inflation report. Blow the gaff starts to appear early in the nineteenth century as criminal slang. It isn’t easy to find an origin because the matter is clouded by the fog of ages and the poor state of recording of early slang. The numerous meanings for gaff has added to the difficulties. The standard English sense is of a hooked stick or barbed spear used for landing fish, at one time transferred to a horse-rider’s or fighting cock’s spur. This is from the Provençal word gaf for a boat-hook. In French this took on the figurative sense of a blunder, perhaps because the emotional effect is like being gaffed, and it’s the origin of the standard English ‘gaffe’ for an embarrassing remark or blunder. Together with the English dialect gaff for loud and coarse talk, or the same Scots word gaff which meant to talk loudly and merrily, this gave rise at the beginning of the twentieth century to an American slang sense that referred to severe criticism, treatment, or hardship (as in stand the gaff or give the gaff). Then there’s the British slang meaning of gaff for the place where one lives (“come round my gaff for a coffee”), which is almost certainly derived from the use
of gaff in the eighteenth-century to mean a fair, and later a cheap music-hall or theatre (as in the infamous penny gaff) and which probably comes from the Romany ‘gav’ for a town, especially a market town. But none of these is the immediate source for blow the gaff. We have to go back to the eighteenth century, when there was another version of the expression, to blow the gab, criminal slang meaning to reveal a secret or to betray a confederate; gab means conversation or speech (as in gift of the gab) and blow itself had earlier had the slang sense of informing on confederates: As for that, says Will, I cou’d Sell it well enough, if I had it, but I must not be seen any where among my old Acquaintance; for I am blown, and they will all betray me. (History of Colonel Jack, by Daniel Defoe, 1723.) We may guess that blow the gab changed into blow the gaff under the influence of one of the senses of gaff. We don’t know for sure when this happened but the earliest known example of the expression is this: A person having any secret in his possession, or a knowledge of anything injurious to another, when at least induced from revenge, or other motive, to tell it openly to the world and expose him publicly, is then said to have blown the gaff upon him. (A Vocabulary of the Flash Language, by James Hardy Vaux, 1812. Vaux was then a transported criminal in New South Wales, Australia. Flash is an old term referring to thieves, prostitutes, or the underworld.) This is an early example of the expression from outside the criminal world: One of the French officers, after he was taken prisoner, asked me how we had managed to get the gun up there but I wasn’t going to blow the gaff, so I told him as a great secret, that we got it up with a kite; upon which he opened all his eyes, and crying “Sacre bleu!” walked away, believing all I said was true. (Peter Simple, by Frederick Marryat, 1833.)

Firstly a Happy New Year to all our AWOL readers and welcome to this the third, fourth or is it the fifth, I can’t really remember and occasionally informative section about wine written for AWOL, from The Dictionary of Wine” A French proverb “Burgundy for Kings, Champagne for Duchesses and Claret for Gentlemen” Cabernet. “The greatest red grape of all” the nice people learn to roll it off the tongue ….Cab-air-nay…. Or for some….Car-bur-nay. It is in to be able to talk of the smell of blackcurrants, or in Australia, blackberries. It is a deep coloured, thick skinned grape that produces dark, flavoursome wine. Old Cabernet Sauvignons take on a cigar-box or lead pencil character. It is an expensive little grape, so

from the pen of lord webb it tends to be a good mixer, with Shiraz, with Merlot, with Malbec, with almost anything except Tonic Water. Cellar. There is only one way to do it. P=2C (Y+X). That is, your wine purchases must be double the capacity of both yourself and your friends. It is the only way you get the strength of character to have bottles that live beyond an early youth. Chablis. A little town south east of Paris in the department of Yonne. The small surrounding districts produces some of the most famous of all white Burgundies. It can be made only from the Chardonnay grape and are lucky if they produce 90,000 cases a year. By extraordinary coincidence one sees “Chablis” in munificent quantity in liquor stores
from Los Angles to Melbourne to Hua Hin. In its ultimate refined glory it, comes in 4 liter plastic bags! Mae West once said “I like two kinds of men - foreign and domestic. Well I like two kinds of wine – red and white. And so until next time and just in case you are still suffering from the effects of New Year, try this. In a jug pour in one shot each of Pernod & dry Vermouth (Martini) and add one egg white & the juice from one lemon. Stir vigorously, then serve over crushed ice. It’s creamy and potent. Cheers!

Thanks to Karl for this week’s jokes sniffer A man had just settled into his seat next to the window on the plane when another man sat down in the aisle seat and put his Black Labrador in the middle seat next to the man. The first man looked very quizzically at the dog and asked why the dog was allowed on the plane. The second man explained that he was from the Police Drugs Enforcement Agency and that the dog was a ‘sniffing dog’. ‘His name is Sniffer and he’s the best there is. I’ll show you once we get airborne, when I put him to work.’ The plane took off, and once it has levelled out, the Policeman said, ‘Watch this.’ He told Sniffer to ‘search’. Sniffer jumped down, walked along the aisle, and finally sat very purposefully next to a woman for several seconds. Sniffer then returned to his seat and put one paw on the policeman’s arm. The Policeman said, ‘Good boy’, and he turned to the man and said, ‘That woman is in possession of marijuana, I’m making a note of her seat number and the authorities will apprehend her when we land. ‘Gee, that’s pretty good,’ replied the first man. Once again, the Policeman sent Sniffer to search the aisles. The Lab sniffed about, sat down beside a man for a few seconds, returned to its seat, and this time he placed two paws on the agent’s arm. The Policeman said, ‘Two paws mean that man is carrying cocaine, so again, I’m making a note of his seat number for the police.’ ‘I like it!’ said his seat mate. The Policeman then told Sniffer to ‘search’ again. Sniffer walked up and down the aisles for a little while, sat down for a moment, and then came racing back to the agent, jumped into the middle seat and proceeded to defecate all over the place. The first man was disgusted by this behaviour and couldn’t figure out how or why a well-trained dog would behave like that. So he asked the Policeman, ‘What’s going on?’ The Policeman replied, ‘He’s just found a bomb.’

The Farm Boy A little old lady was walking down the street dragging two large plastic garbage bags behind her. One of the bags was ripped and every once in a while a $20 fell out onto the sidewalk. Noticing this, a policeman stopped her, and said, “Ma’am, there are $20 bills falling out of that bag.” “Oh, really? Darn it!” said the little old lady. “I’d better go back and see if I can find them.. Thanks for telling me officer.” “Well, now, not so fast,” said the cop. Where did you get all that money? You didn’t steal it, did you?” “Oh, no, no”, said the old lady. “You see, my back yard is right next to a Golf course. A lot of Golfers come and pee through a knot hole in my fence, right into my flower garden. It used to really tick me off. Kills the flowers, you know. Then I thought, ‘why not make the best of it? So, now, I stand behind the fence by the knot hole, real quiet, with my hedge clippers. Every time some guy sticks his thing through my fence, I surprise him, grab hold of it and say, ‘O.K., buddy! Give me $20, or off it comes.’ “Well, that seems only fair,” said the cop, laughing. “OK. Good luck! Oh, by the way, what’s in the other bag?” “Not everybody pays.” NO UNDERWEAR A man came to visit his grandparents, and he noticed his grandfather sitting on the porch in the rocking chair wearing only a shirt, with nothing on from the waist do wn. ‘Grandpa, what are you doing? Your weenie is out in the wind for everyone to see!’ he exclaimed. The old man looked off in the distance without answering. ‘Grandpa, what are you doing sitting out here with nothing on below the waist?’ he asked again. The old man slowly looked at him and said, ‘Well....last week I sat out here with no shirt on and I got a stiff neck. This is your grandma’s idea.’

Massachusetts, usa Woman’s frosted cupcakes were rightfully confiscated, says TSA The federal Transport Security Administration (TSA) is defending its decision to confiscate cupcakes from a woman flying from Las Vegas’ airport. Last month Rebecca Hains, from Peabody, Massachusetts, was confronted by airport officials as she had been carrying a cupcake in a jar of icing - a substance considered a form of gel under the new airport travel policy. Officials told Ms Hains that the treat exceeded the amount of gel that could be brought on to one flight, to which she responded by saying the policy was ‘terrible logic’. The new travel law, which was put in place to minimise the risk
of terror attacks, says that any substance considered a gel can be confiscated as it could be used to hide plastic and liquid explosives from detection. Cakes and many other desserts are popular travel items among passengers, but the TSA has warned that customers should be prepared as they could receive additional screenings.

Co-owner Feng Lu said: ‘We had the idea when we were discussing one of the worst restaurants we’d ever eaten in and one of us said it had been a real toilet. So we decided to see if we could make a restaurant that was just one big toilet. “We can’t quite believe how successful it’s been. Now we’re talking about opening a chain,” added Feng.

Featured Game monday, 18 January 2012 Italian Serie A AC Milan v Inter Milan, 02:45 San Siro, Milan, Italy The Derby della Madonnina, or the Milan Derby as it is sometimes known, is named in honour of one of the main sights in the city of Milan, the statue of the Virgin Mary on the top of the Duomo. This is one of the world’s classic derby matches and there is plenty at stake aside from bragging rights; AC are top and eight points clear of Inter in fifth, so this is a crucial match in the title race. Juventus are level on points at the top, with Udinese a further two points back, and both have matches they should win. AC are unbeaten at home, but of course that home is also Inter’s home so those statistics go out of the window. We expect a typically frantic and fiery derby but with AC Milan to retain their grip on top spot and gain a narrow win.

let’s do the timewarp again the past, england Following the sensational returns of Thierry Henry and Paul Scholes to Arsenal and Manchester United respectively, other leading clubs are now looking to follow the trend in an attempt to avoid buying younger and established players that turn out to be expensive transfer window flops. Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool is rumoured to be eyeing up a move for Ian Rush, Steve McMannaman and himself as a solution to the club’s goalscoring problems after being burnt by the acquisition of Andy Carroll, while Chelsea are said to be in talks with Gianfranco Zola, although they have rubbished reports that they will resign Dennis Wise. Not to be outdone in the race to capture fans favourites, Manchester
premier league clubs scramble to resign former players Left: Eric Cantona: will never make a comeback except, perhaps, as French President? Here’s hoping!
City are said to be looking at a few options, with Uwe Rösler and Paul Dickov odds on to leave their management jobs at Brentford and Oldham to rejoin the Citizens. Harry Redknapp at Spurs is said to be rather put out by the current activilty, as he had been concentrating his efforts on retaining his existing aging crocks like Ledley King, but
London Bar and guesthouse
the wily old fox apparently has a David Ginola up his sleeve. Meanwhile QPR are hoping that the appointment of Mark Hughes could see them leap to the top of the ‘signing former players’ table, with Stan Bowles, Gerry Francis and Rodney Marsh all in the frame for a remarkable comeback. If they can find shirts to fit them that is. Late news in is that Emile Heskey has offered his services to Liverpool, and been rejected on the grounds that not only is he contracted to Aston Villa but that he is ‘absolute toilet’. More as we get it...
