straight down the middle annual golf festival tees off hua hin, THAILAND It’s that time of year in Hua Hin when part time (or hard up) golfers grab their clubs with glee, while the regular and semi-pro players (and the course maintenance staff) weep at the slow play and course damage - yes, the Hua Hin Golf Festival is here once more! Organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, in co-operation with several other interested parties, it allows golfers the opportunity to play golf at any of the eight selected golf courses, throughout August and September, for only Bt800. The eight courses involved are Banyan (032 616200), Imperial Lake View (032 456233 – 40), Springfield Village (032 709222) August only, Majestic Creek (032 619168 – 70, 081 942 3619), Sawang (032 562555 – 7), Palm Hills (032 442460 – 1, 032 520801 – 9), Kaeng Krachan (032 422145) and Royal Hua Hin (032 51 2475, 032 531070). There are also invitations to compete in organised tournaments every Sunday for just Bt1,200 (includes caddy fee and dinner), with prizes for holes-in-one at designated holes on the last day of the festival, longest drive contests and an opportunity to shop for specially-discounted golf products with 10 to 30% reduction on Pro Shop prices at all courses. Hua Hin has become a mecca for golf lovers, with over a dozen high quality courses either in the area or within easy reach, and at least three golf societies in operation (see page 23 for those we currently feature results from; if you belong to a society not featured please get in touch with us on info@awolonline.net to tell us about it). The annual golf festival is a welcome opportunity for visitors and residents alike to try out the range of courses available at affordable prices.

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... Sir Walter Scott There are many sources for the phrases and sayings Nor is Sir Walter regarded as the most highly innovative that colour our language. One important source is the of writers. Much of his prolific output calls on old songs Bible, from which we get ‘by the skin of your teeth’, and tales that he learned at his grandmother’s knee. He ‘from strength to strength’ and many more. Whether we was no plagiarist though and is now thought of as the view these as English phrases is debatable as the first inventor of the historical novel. He coined several phrases English translation of the Bible was a thousand years that are now in everyday use. Or at least, as was his style, or more after the writing of the original biblical texts. he adapted existing texts and brought the phrases to the Wycliffe’s translation, circa 1392, is the first version that public attention. At this distance in time it’s quite hard to brought the Bible to the English-speaking world - apart tell just how much was the transformation of inherited from that small number of scholars who had read the materials and how much was pure invention. Take the previous Latin versions and discussed them in English. phrase ‘caught red-handed’ for example. ‘Redhand’ Whatever we think about the Englishness of translated was an existing Scottish legal term meaning ‘in the act biblical phrases even they pale next to the single most of crime’. It’s a small step for a Scottish author from prolific coiner of English - Shakespeare. To use his own ‘redhand’ to ‘caught red-handed’. Nevertheless, without Scott we wouldn’t have the phrase. words from All’s Well That Ends Well: Scott went a little further than most authors in his A man in all the world’s new fashion planted, coining of language. He also gave a name to a breed That hath a mint of phrases in his brain; The list of phrases coined by the Bard of Avon is very of terrier dogs, calling them Dandie Dinmonts, after a long - ‘foul play’ and ‘fair play’, ‘in a pickle’ and ‘in character in Guy Mannering. Other phrases of which Scott is either the father or the stitches’, ‘high time’ and lie low’ and many more. If Shakespeare and the Bible are leading the Premiership; midwife: who is the best of the rest? Chaucer? Dickens? Well, Caught red-handed it’s neither of them - step forward the Scottish poet and Cold Shoulder novelist Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832). While there are Blood is thicker than water collective works which have brought us more idioms Flotsam and jetsam and phrases - The Book of Common Prayer for example, Go berserk Scott is the individual author who can claim to come Infra dig Lock, stock and barrel second - if a distant second - after Shakespeare. Scott might seem an unlikely candidate as a major source Savoir faire of phrases in the language as he is rather out of favour Strain at the leash in the 21st century and hardly any longer a household The apple of my eye name. That wasn’t the case in his lifetime though, when The back of beyond he was the best-known and most widely read novelist Tongue in cheek Wide berth writing in English.

Shandong, china ‘Drowning’ inflatable doll sparks 18-man police rescue An inflatable doll floating in a lake sparked a dramatic rescue mission involving 18 officers after police mistook it for a drowning woman. A team of police officers in Shandong province, China, rushed to the scene after receiving a call from a concerned witness about a lady in distress in one of the province’s lakes. According to RocketNews24, the team of 18 officers spent over 40 minutes battling to retrieve the life-like doll and bring it to shore. The dramatic scenes attracted over 1,000 spectators according to local reports, with the large crowd blocking traffic and preventing rescue crews from reaching the scene. Officers were horrified to find when they finally managed to recover the body that they had in fact rescued an inflatable sex doll from the lake. A shocked crowd quickly dispersed from the scene following the astonishing scenes, with some spectators covering the eyes of younger children who had waited to watch the events unfold. Following the embarrassing rescue operation, officers said they were forced to act due to the toy’s similar size and appearance to an adult female. havana, cuba Cuban bar mixes world’s largest daiquiri cocktail A Cuban bar has made history after creating the world’s largest daiquiri cocktail (270 litres) in honour of its most famous customer Ernest Hemingway. It took a team of ten bartenders and 55 volunteers to concoct the rum, lemon and sugar cocktail last weekend at the El Floridita tavern, Old Havana. Standing on a wooden platform, two waiters continuously poured pitchers of the mixture into a 6.5ft tall cocktail glass as other members of the record-breaking team prepared the ingredients. Floridita manager Anders Aranciba said: ‘We are very happy. It is a dream that we have wanted to make reality for more than a year. It is a distinctive experience in homage to the great daiquiri cocktail.’ The attempt also celebrated the 113th birthday of Nobel Literature prize winner Hemingway, a regular customer at the bar during his time living in Cuba. It was also staged to honour the 195th anniversary of the bar itself, where the cocktail was first thought to have been created. Excited resident Ricardo Antonio Trujillo added: ‘This is great for three reasons. First because we are in the land of the daiquiri, we are in the home of the daiquiri and we are celebrating the birthday of Hemingway and Guinness record of more than 250 litres.’
tamworth, england Police order gardener to cut ‘offensive’ middle finger-shaped bush A hedge clipped to look like an extended middle finger has landed a gardener in trouble after police ordered the bush to be altered following a complaint. Warwickshire Police have told creator Richard Jackson his cheeky garden humour must be altered as it is considered a public offence. In response, neighbours in Tamworth, Staffordshire, have started a Save the Bush campaign.
‘I carved the bush into a middle finger eight years ago and there has only ever been one complaint about it, made recently,’ explained Mr Jackson. ‘I was contacted by the police and they said the council had been in touch because somebody had complained to them about it. Apparently, one person was offended by it and the police said it was a public order offence.’ He added: ‘I don’t intend to change it though - I’m not a trouble maker and I don’t want to offend anyone but at the same time, it’s been here for eight years and I don’t see why I should have anybody telling me what to change in my garden. If everybody else likes it and there’s only one complaint in eight years then I don’t think it is a public offence, as the majority aren’t offended.‘ Warwickshire Police said if they receive a direct complaint about the hedge they would deal with it proportionately.

A Loan Application A frog goes into a bank and steps up to the teller. He sees that her name is “Patricia Whack.” So he says: “Ms. Whack, I’d like to get a loan to buy a ticket and go on a long vacation.” Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow. The frog says $30,000. The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger and that it’s OK, he knows the bank manager. Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, “Sure. I have this,” and pulls out a tiny pink porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed. He hands it to the teller. Very confused, Patti explains that she’ll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says: “There’s a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral.” She holds up the tiny pink elephant saying. “I mean, what the heck is this?” So the bank manager looks back at her and says: “It’s a knick knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man’s a Rolling Stone.” Guinness A man goes to see his doctor and says “Doc I’m not getting full enjoyment from my sex life and I think it would help if my willy was bigger” The doctor asks “What do you normally drink?” “Lager” is the reply. “Oh dear” says the doc “That tends to shrink things, try switching to Guinness” The man comes back the following week, shakes the doctor’s hand and says “Thanks for the advice” The doc says “You switched to Guinness then?” “No” says the man “I’ve put the wife on lager”

Daily, weekly or long term The Wedding Test I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me. It was her beautiful younger sister. She was twenty-two, wore very tight mini skirts, and was generally bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate, because she never did it when she was near anyone else. One day her ‘little’ sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn’t overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. She said, ‘I’m going upstairs to my bedroom and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.’ I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door and ran straight for my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, clapping and cheering! With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, ‘We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn’t ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family, son.’ And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car.

YOUR 8 DAYs A WEEK GUIDE TO LOCAL EVENTS. If you want your performance featured here on Hua Hin Live, send your information to: huahinlive@awolonline.net or submit your event to our new events page on www.awolonline. net Don’t Miss This Week Upcoming Hua Hin Jazz Festival - still no concrete information on this and now the Tourist Authority of Thailand in Prachuap Kiri Khan have changed from ‘it might be the second weekend in June’ to ‘maybe in August’. One official even told us that it has been cancelled, while another said that ‘it might be in the next couple of months’ and not a single soul can say who is meant to be organising it. Whatever the reason for this situation, it is terrible for the image of the town and will lead people to think that the people in charge are incompetent.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 Your plan to dig an escape tunnel over the next three years using only a spoon stolen from the cafeteria will utterly dumbfound everyone else at the office. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 When all’s said and done, some will actually admire how you’ll stand your ground and not let the escaped zoo elephant just push you around. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 The stars indicate a lot less than you think they do, but go ahead and make big changes in the workplace if that’s what you got out of it all. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 While it’s true you’ll never really understand, accept, or tolerate homosexuality, it’s admirable that it hasn’t stopped you from having sex with people of your gender.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 The places in the sand where your footprints disappear and only the marks of unspeakably malevolent tentacles can be seen are the part where Cthulhu carried you. Gemini May 22 – June 21 You’ve really tried, honestly you have, but you just can’t drum up the enthusiasm for people to pay you for the things society expects from you. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 As far as you’re concerned, there are only two types of people in the world, and it’s always bothered you that you can’t figure out what they are. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 It’s nice that you’re trying to become closer to your coworkers, but really, by now you should have noticed they’re trying to edge away as politely as possible.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 It’s a lucky day for you when, instead of making you a better person and serving the greater good, your personal and political beliefs fall neatly in line with getting everything you want. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 The old saying about cows and getting free milk applies to your situation, at least if you think of it as pertaining to having sex with cows. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You undergo a profound personal and spiritual change this week, but no one will notice since it doesn’t make you put on pants anymore often. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You’re not the most curious person in the world, but this week will see you take a profound interest in the exact meaning of all those red lights on the machines you’re hooked up to.

austerity arsenal F.C london, england
ARSENE Wenger has revealed Arsenal’s entire kit cost him just £200 from the Highbury branch of Tesco. The frugal trophy-dodger has insisted that expenditure has nothing to do with winning trophies and feels his decision to get the players to compete in black plimsolls rather than expensive boots will have no adverse effect on results. Wenger said: “These new kits are just the same as the pricey ones only they haven’t got some fancy logo on them to hike up the cost. “As I keep reminding the squad, it’s not a bloody fashion parade. Tesco didn’t have any tops left in red but black doesn’t show up the muck as much so it’s probably for the best. “The waste of money in this game is absolutely shocking – I can’t believe the amount we chucked away on that isotonic rubbish last season when there’s a tap full of perfectly good water in the changing rooms. From now on anything over a tenner has to be okayed by me.”

bedroom flat overlooking the ground, without any of the money being spent on the squad, Wenger made vague references to the prices of heating and lighting the stadium before changing the subject. Wenger added: “I’ve never held with being a flash Harry myself, so the players can go and live with that Mr Mancini if that’s the kind of thing they want, which this letter I’ve got from Van Persie seems to suggest they do.”
