be it the end of the world or just the end of the year, hua hin is exploding!
hua hin, THAILAND We are not sure if we have any Mayan readers out there, but if we do, we hope they enjoy their last ever issue of AWOL, as according to some interpretations of the Mayan calendar, the world will end on 21st December 2012. For all the rest of you, next week’s issue will of course be the penultimate AWOL of the year, and the last before Christmas. The big question is, are we all ready, not just for Christmas but the New Year and beyond that follows? In the immediate future of Hua Hin there are a number of large and small events celebrating both Christmas and more significantly for the Thais, the arrival of 2013, or 2556 as it is in the Thai calendar. There are at least three large public events to bring in the New Year, at Centennial Park, Market Village and the Plearn Wan complex, and a plethora of hotel and restaurant hosted events for both Christmas and the turn of the year, not least at several of our advertisers, including Buffalo Tavern, Terrace 90, Larry’s, Cha Am Pub, The Dutchman and Bobby’s Bar. In the more distant future, later in 2013 and 2014, Hua Hin is gearing itself up for a boom in both tourism and population. Large infrastructure projects, both private and public will be ongoing and some completed in 2013, with the most notable expected to be the long running Market Village car park extension which is now partially open. Work on the canal road is not expected to finish next year but we are sure to see significant progress. The Bluport complex will have started construction, and by 2014 Hua Hin will already have experienced big changes in both it’s look and the numbers coming here. There will be growing pains as we see the emergence of a city, and quite possibly a provincial capital, before our eyes; now, are you ready? ORDER NOW FOR CHRISTMAS!

world World’s most expensive Christmas dinner costs £125,000 (6 million baht) Diners have been offered the chance to eat the world’s most expensive Christmas dinner, costing £125,000. Those who choose to order the four-course meal shouldn’t feel too guilty about spending the obscene amount though as the proceeds will go to charity. People buying the meal, which is for four people, can look forward to tasting some of the most expensive ingredients in the world. An Almas caviar (£5,000) is served as the first course, along with a balsamic vinegar that is 150 years old. The turkey main will include Wagyu beef fillet and heart (£5,000) and be sprinkled with Akbari Pistachios (£5,000) and edible 50 carat gold leaf. If you’ve still got an appetite after this you can round off the meal with a deliciously expensive dessert of whipped Kopi Luwak (£3,000) and Densuke watermelon (£2,600). And you’ll be able to wash this all down with £37,000 pre-World War One champagne that will be poured into diamond studded champagne flutes. The expensive dinner will be prepared by John Salt head chef Ben Spalding at the home of the customer.
bristol, england Bristol diner releases burger so spicy customers need to sign disclaimer A Bristol diner has produced a burger so spicy that those wanting to order it must prove they are over 18 and also sign a disclaimer. The Atomic Fallout Pizza burger requires consumers to wear protective gloves and comes drenched in a sauce that’s made from two of the fieriest chillies in the world, the Scotch Bonnet and Naga Bhut Jolokia (Ghost Chilli). The combination of spices means the sauce measures in on the Scoville Scale at an eye watering 1million units. Not only is the sandwich spicy, it also packs in a considerable amount of calories. It has three 18oz beef patties, 18oz of cheese and two deep fried slices of pizza to hold it all together. The restaurant says burger fans must be ‘of sound mind and judgment’ in order to eat the £25 meal. If you do manage to consume the fiery meal then you may win a place on the restaurant’s ‘Top 100 Wall of Flame’ and a snazzy Atomic Fallout t-shirt. If that’s not intimidating enough, it also comes with a triple helping of chilli fries. The meal was thought up by Atomic Burger owners Martin Bunce and James Reilly.

the golfer A golfer was involved in a terrible car crash and was rushed to the hospital. Just before he was put under, the surgeon popped in to see him. “I have some good news and some bad news,” says the surgeon. “The bad news is that I have to remove your right arm!” “Oh God no!” cries the man “My golfing is over! Please Doc, what’s the good news?” “The good news is, I have another one to replace it with, but it’s a woman’s arm. I’ll need your permission before I go ahead with the transplant.” “Go for it doc” says the man. “As long as I can play golf again.” The operation went well and a year later the man was out on the golf course when he bumped into the surgeon. “Hi, how’s the new arm?” asks the surgeon. “Just great,” says the businessman. “I’m playing the best golf of my life. My new arm has a much finer touch and my putting has really improved.”

“That’s great,” said the surgeon. “Not only that,” continued the golfer, “my handwriting has improved, I’ve learned how to sew my own clothes and I’ve even taken up painting landscapes in watercolours” “Unbelievable!” said the surgeon, “I’m so glad to hear the transplant was such a great success. Are you having any side effects?” “Well, just one problem,” said the golfer. “Every time I get an erection, I also get a headache.” it’s a knockout! Stuart Hall was charged with three counts of indecent assault. It would have been two but the old bill played their joker

A large, possibly exorbitant, amount of money. ‘It cost and arm and a leg’ is one of those phrases that It is a grim reality that, around that time, there were rank high in the ‘I know where that comes from’ stories many US newspaper reports of servicemen who had lost told at the local pub. In this case the tale is that portrait an arm and a leg in the recent war. It is possible that the painters used to charge more for larger paintings and phrase originated in reference to the high cost paid by that a head and shoulders painting was the cheapest those who suffered such amputations. option, followed in price by one which included arms A more likely explanation is that the expression derived and finally the top of the range ‘legs and all’ portrait. As from two earlier phrases: ‘I would give my right arm for...’ so often with popular etymologies, there’s no truth in and ‘[Even] if it takes a leg’, which were both coined in that story. Painters certainly did charge more for large the 19th century. The earliest example that I can find of pictures, but there’s no evidence to suggest they did the former in print is from an 1849 edition of Sharpe’s so by limb count. In any case the phrase is much more London Journal: He felt as if he could gladly give his right arm to be cut off if it would make him, at once, recent than the painting origin would suggest. It is in fact an American phrase, coined sometime after old enough to go and earn money instead of Lizzy. WWII.

cha am, thailand Welcome to this mini- AWOL devoted to near neighbours Cha Am. The intention of this section is to bring news, information, details of events and anything else Cha Am related to our readers. Send your information or advertising enquiries to Darren at the Cha Am Pub (see ad below), or you can of course also contact us direct by email on info@ awolonline.net or any of our other contact methods shown on page 13. ChaAm Gossip Conflicting reports have been received about the tragic demise of a Caucasian man found with a knife in the side of his neck. Some suggest that the local constabulary are treating it as a “Suicide”. Our sympathy to his family and friends. Tip 1: Remember, if you’re on the prowl in the beer bars, turn your car lights off. Next time it may be a wife who spots it and decides to come looking for you.. The count stands at four bars that we know of, who have banned or ejected the “Wandering Fat, Bald,
normally shirtless, lecherous Scandi” whose drunken stares and unwanted attentions may soon result in an attitude adjustment being dealt. He is also currently leading the “Bar Girls Pig Of The Year Contest”. Tip 2: Always make sure that you don’t go home with your shirt on inside out, as it’s a dead giveaway that you “May” have been up to something else. balloon chasers Cha Cha Bar (Soi Bus Station) is now offering a Bar Menu with a good selection of snack foods & Meals.

CHA AM BIKERS
“Look Twice And Save a Life”
the 1%ers - part 1 The “Biker” world has been mine for some twenty years, from hardcore 1%er’s to the new and improved “Riding Clubs”. I’ve seen and encountered just about everything you can pull from any movie. Being knowledgeable of an element you might encounter is always critical to your safety. Whether it is road rage from a cager (driver of a car) or a robbery at your local Seven-Eleven. You learn what parts of town to stay
protocol. There is rarely a problem at a public event or poker run but it is always possible. So lets start with the “Rocker” you hear about. The rocker is in the form of a half moon, for lack of a better term. Similar to the bottom of a rocking chair. If you think about it, you have all seen photos of “Hells Angels” and the way the patches are arched above and below the center patch. MC (Motorcycle Club) patch and the 1% diamond will also be found on their Cut

Narathip Road, Cha Am
out of because someone has told you or you learned the hard way. You have the intelligence not to provoke a Pit Bull or stand in the middle of a fire ant mound. You learn to ride a motorcycle safely and so you must learn about the world you have entered. Now, many of you have entered the “Biker” or “Club” world and are not aware of the issues that may affect you and only need a little guidance. It would be my suggestion to do some research on this issue because knowledge is power. It’s hard to convey the complete understanding of this culture in a small article but it will help. This information is to educate you on the outlaw 1%er lifestyle, not to scare you away from riding. (And remember, please think before you respond to anything, don’t do any bashing of anyone or any club on the internet, forums or at any bars.) First off, the likelihood of anyone getting into a scrape with outlaws/1%er”s is slim to none unless you frequent their bars or hangouts. But make no mistake, this is very real. Since most bike clubs are “NOT” outlaw clubs, they will have no issue with you as long as you stay out of their “business” and follow biker
(also referred to as Colors). There are also many other patches some clubs wear that only mean something to that particular club. The 1% diamond is the key to identifying a 1%er. It is a patch in the shape of a diamond with “1%” on it. That is mostly worn on the left shoulder but is seen on the back of their colors also. They, (1%er’s) ride mostly Harley’s only, along with their support clubs and almost all outlaw clubs, but that’s another story. Flying a certain style of patch on the back of colors is how the outlaws
identify who is or is not claiming territory. Territory is a huge issue and they will fight and/or kill over it if it comes to that. It’s just “Business”. The rocker or the bar style patch is not acceptable to 1%er’s unless approved by them. And just because an M/C club wears “Rocker” or “Bar” style patch’s that doesn’t make them an outlaw club. You just have to learn who is who but your officers should have some knowledge on that. Part 2 next week

Eat in or Takeaway 081 455 5298 Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 The stars could reveal your future, but they’d just be repeating what the Love Tester at the fair already told you. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 People will come from miles around to seek your wisdom on all manner of things, which is proof that people will do anything for a good laugh. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You’ll never smile again after the tragic loss of your lower jaw and lips this week. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 The stars believe that a person must make his own mistakes, but they warn you not to do anything that may, say, burn down Pranburi this week.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Only God can judge you. Unfortunately, He’s been appearing to all your friends and telling them what an asshole you are. Gemini May 22 – June 21 The black widow spider does not have the most powerful venom of any spider in the world, but it’s still going to do quite a number on your legs. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 The truth is indeed elusive, hard to comprehend, and subjective. What we’re trying to say is: You’re fat. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 There hasn’t been a stampeding death in your area in more than a century, but your air horn and steer costume will change all that.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 Take solace in this: There is meaning and purpose to the universe, even if it’s too complicated for you to grasp and won’t pay off for years. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Some may call your breast implants tacky, but at least you had the guts to try out unconventional shapes. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You’ve always been a fashionforward trendsetter, which is why, after next week, they’ll all be saying that getting shot in the face is the new black. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Gradual, almost imperceptible change will make you a better person over the course of the next 37,000 years.

The former Man City and Newcastle midfielder, who is currently on loan at Olympique de Marseille from QPR, amazed the gathered media at a recent press conference after he used the English language to communicate in fluent French. The new book, conveniently available in time for Christmas, teaches you how to shrug your shoulders in French and learn how to count to twenty as you punch someone repeatedly in the face. With invaluable phrases like, ‘I sink you av speeled ma dreenk, zerefore I weel extuingueesh zis cigar een yur fess’ and ‘Wizzout ze musique life wud bee a mistaque’, Joey will teach you how to
