roll with it unique new bowls facility opens
hua hin, THAILAND It may not seem like a story worthy of headline news, but the opening earlier this month of the new Lawn Bowls Hua Hin at the Sea Jays Resort just off the Pala U Road has added a unique facility to what is on offer here, as it is the only public synthetic grass bowls green in Thailand. Using the same high quality surface as is used at the Olympics, the only other facilities offering this are private concerns normally used by Olympic competitors in training. It is an all year, all weather surface, protected from the sun at both ends and with the option to play at night as it is floodlit. Being located at the Sea Jays Resort also gives access to the other facilities there including swimming pool, sun terrace, crazy golf, full restaurant and bar which also have a pool table and dartboard. The club will be offering memberships for regular players to take advantage of, but non-members will always be welcomed, and prices start from 200 baht per person. Bowls equipment is available for rent and sale but anyone with their own sets can use them and only have to rent the green, which is divided into several ‘lanes’. The club is holding a ‘roll up’ open day on Saturday 19th January where anyone can try their hand at bowls for free, with food and drinks available as well. Lessons and coaching will be available for those interested in taking up the game, and leagues will be set up for those with a competitive streak. These will be featured on the sports pages of AWOL once established. To contact Lawn Bowls Hua Hin you can either call them on 090 790 5778 or email them on lawnbowlshuahin@gmail.com, and you will find a map and more information in their advert on page 34.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. This week it is.... In the pink aficionados is unproven. The jackets, which are in fact In perfect condition, especially of health. The general usage of this phrase has altered somewhat scarlet, have been said to have derived their ‘hunting since it first entered the language. We now usually see pink’ name from a tailor called Thomas Pink and that ‘in it with the specific meaning of ‘the pink of condition’, the pink’ refers to both the jackets and to the healthy, i.e. in the best possible health. It is tempting but, as it energetic approach to the pastime that many hunters turns out, misguided, to assume an association between adopt. Fox-hunters can be said to be literally in the pink ‘the pink of condition’ and the healthily glowing pink but the hunting derivation is nevertheless far-fetched. cheeks of new-born babies or energetic sportsmen/ There are no historical records of any such Thomas Pink and his association with the fox-hunting fraternity sportswomen and the like. The earliest citations of ‘in the pink’ are from the 16th wasn’t suggested until long after the first references to century and, at that time, the meaning was ‘the very pink jackets. pinnacle of something’, but not necessarily limited to Why pink has been chosen to epitomise the pinnacle health. The earliest example found of pink being used of quality is more likely to do with the Dianthus flower, with that meaning is from 1597 Shakespeare’s Romeo & many varieties of which are called Pinks. It is known that society in the reign of Elizabeth I admired the flowers, Juliet, 1597: hence the first uses of pink with the ‘excellent’ meaning Mercurio: Why, I am the very pinke of curtesie. The earliest citation found for ‘in the pink’ is from Leigh’s in that period. What is interesting to speculate on is why the flowers Kensington Gardens, 1720: “’Tis the Pink of the Mode, to marry at first Sight: - And were called Pinks. You may think that a silly question, as Dianthuses are almost always pink. There are two some, indeed, marry without any Sight at all.” The ‘pink of the mode’, i.e. the acme of excellence of quite believable theories. One suggests, that it is the fashion, was a common early usage and continued flowers that gave their name to the colour, rather than to be used throughout the 19th century, as here from vice-versa, and that the name derives from the Dutch ‘pinck-ooghen’ - ‘little eye’ (literally - to blink). The Thackeray, 1840: “In the very pink of the mode.” Dickens, in his Letters, 1845, demonstrates the difference second theory is based on the earlier verb form of pink, from our current usage: “Of all the picturesque which means to cut or to pierce - in a style that would abominations in the World, commend me to Fondi. It now be done using pinking shears. Dianthuses are said to be called Pinks because their edges are pinked. Take is the very pink of hideousness and squalid misery.” It isn’t until the 20th century that we find the phrase your choice. in the ‘pink of condition’ form that is currently used, in the Kynoch Journal, 1905: “Makers may despatch Is there an English phrase or saying that you would like to know more about? explosives from the factory in the pink of condition.” Email it to us on submissions@awolonline.net The association of the phrase ‘in the pink’ with the so-called pink jackets worn by the UK fox-hunting 7

new york, usa Drunk plane passenger taped to his seat by fellow flyers
12
A drunken passenger on a flight to New York was taped to his seat after allegedly spitting on other travellers, trying to choke a woman and yelling the plane was going to crash. A picture and account of the bizarre event was posted to Tumblr by Andy Ellwood, from New York, who said he was filled in by a friend who witnessed the man fly off the handle. Gudmundur Karl Arthorsson, a 46-year-old civil engineer, was arrested upon landing at JFK on Thursday, according to the New York Post. ‘Passenger drank all of his duty free liquor on the flight

from Iceland to JFK yesterday,’ Mr Ellwood wrote. ‘When he became unruly, (i.e. trying to choke the woman next to him and screaming the plane was going to crash), fellow passengers subdued him and tie him up for the rest of the flight. He was escorted off the flight by police when it landed.’ Port Authority spokesman Ron Marsico said the man was taken to a hospital in Queens once they landed. Prosecutors decided not to charge him as passengers were reluctant to discuss his outburst with authorities, according to the New York Post. japan Tailly: The tail for humans which wags when you see someone you fancy In the pantheon of the world’s most useful inventions, this is a real tail-ender. The tail for humans allows you to undo the good work of evolution by putting back what Mother Nature deemed surplus to requirements millennia ago. Can you hang from it to keep your hands free while pruning trees or clearing your gutters? Um… that’ll be a no. But it does start to wag when you see someone you fancy and grow excited. What a great way to show your love! Known as ‘Tailly’, the Japanese product is attached to a belt with sensors which take the wearer’s pulse. When their heart beats faster, it wags faster. Shota Ishiwatari, the man we have to thank for the fluffy gadget, is convinced it will be a hit and hopes it will soon be on sale in Britain. ‘Tailly is fun to wear to parties, while out with friends or playing with kids,’ he said. ‘You could even wear Tailly on a date and express your true feelings through the wagging tail. Even better, your partner could also wear one, to add a level of subconscious communication between the two of you.’

new year’s resolution It’s 2nd January and in line with his resolution to lose weight, a guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 5kg weight loss program. The next day, there’s a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck. She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, “If you can catch me, you can have me.” Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later puffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 5kg as promised. He calls the company and orders their 5-day/10kg program. The next day there’s a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, “If you catch me you can have me”.

Daily, weekly or long term Well, he’s out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape. Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 10kg as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/25kg program. “Are you sure?” asks the representative on the phone. “This is our most rigorous program.” “Absolutely,” he replies, “I haven’t felt this good in years.” The next day there’s a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, “If I catch you, you are mine.” He lost 33 kilos that week.

ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE IN CHA AM FOR THE EXPAT IN ALL OF US
ChaAm news SOI DOGS - ACTION REQUIRED! One thing I really dislike about foreigners in Thailand is when groups sit around criticising everything that is different culturally, practically or legally from their country of origin. There is a temptation to say ‘if you don’t like it here, go home!’ However it must be said that there is at least one thing about life in Cha – Am that is unacceptable, regardless of nationality and whether you are a resident or tourist. The problem is Soi Dogs! How can it be considered OK that no one is able to freely walk the streets without fear of being attacked by packs of marauding stray dogs fiercely territorial and ready to attack without provocation?
Try riding a bicycle across the open ground to the golf driving range or walk along the Northern end of Chao Lai Road and the chances are you will experience this unwanted attention. Once bitten you will need rabies shots and if you are a tourist you certainly won’t want to return. Even on the Beach Road during the daytime dogs attack innocent walkers. A friend of mine ordered dinner at a beach front restaurant but made the mistake of visiting the toilet after ordering his food. On his return it had been served and was being enjoyed by a stray dog! Another was cycling along the beach road when a dog apparently sleeping on the roadside attacked him biting him on the leg. Some resort to arming themselves with ‘zappers’ or use other deterrents.
This cannot be the answer. It is not just about problems for humans but also the welfare of canines. Often these dogs are seriously diseased and maimed. Any dog lover would agree that it is far from humane to allow their suffering to continue. I don’t have a solution (I’m not an expert on the subject), but the problem must be acknowledged and urgent action is required by the authorities as this health and safety issue can no longer be ignored! contact us Please direct any 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 32.

CHA AM BIKERS
“Look Twice And Save a Life”
HONDA BIGWING The eagerly anticipated arrival of Honda’s BigWing Division in Thailand, as well as sales of domestically assembled big bikes, is paving the way for European and Japanese companies to fully capitalise on the growing popularity and culture of big bikes. As a highly taxed luxury good far exceeding the price of an average motorcycle, a super bike makes a strong statement of authority about the lifestyle, interests and wealth of its rider. Fueled by increasing numbers of Thai buyers, the image of big bikes has changed and they are gradually finding a place in Thai and Asean society as something desirable, original and “cool”. The new Honda BigWing centre in the Pradit Manutham area is the biggest superbike centre in Thailand, and one of the biggest in the world, according to Honda. “Honda BigWing will become the new standard for Thailand’s big bike industry. The first Honda BigWing will also be the prototype for all branches to open in the future,” said Chiaki Kato, the president of AP Honda. Suchart Arunseangroj, director of sales for AP Honda, said the decision to expand the BigWing division in Thailand reflected the declining import tax on big bikes. Currently at 27%, the rate will decrease by 5 points each year until 2017 when it will be zero. Mr Suchart said that with 20 million Honda bikes already on the roads, and with 2 million more being sold every year, “people want a step up in the size, power and appearance of their bikes”. With a 70% share of all motorcycles sold in Thailand, Honda foresees high potential for the big bike market. As an already established market leader in big bikes, bringing in its larger and famous range of bikes is a step toward taking control of market. The centre will first import six models from Japan to Thailand including the world famous GL1800 “Gold Wing”, the most popular touring bike in North America. Honda looks to join the trend with other big bike manufacturers and start assembling big bikes in Thailand by the end of this year. Ducati has already taken its bike parts production to the next level with a full assembly line in Thailand. It sells its locally made

Monster 795 model and soon will offer a made-in-Thailand Diavel model. Pierfrancesco Scalzo, Asia-Pacific sales director for Ducati, sees Thailand as “a strategic location as it enables us, with a level of local component integration, to favourably comply with local tax requirements. “At this moment Thailand represents the best solution in terms of bilateral agreements between most Asian countries.”

Ducati sales in Thailand have grown rapidly and steadily over the past two years, doubling last year. The 803cc domestically produced Monster 795 costs 399,990 baht, half the price of other imported models. The British bike maker Triumph, which started manufacturing parts for export in Thailand in 2002, now has three plants assembling frames, fuel tanks, engine parts and chrome engine covers. Bike makers are sensing that the time is right to start producing and selling big bikes in Asean. “It has already been proved by other manufacturers of prestigious cars and powerful motorcycles that Thailand represents the perfect place to build technologically advanced vehicles like ours,” said Ducati’s Mr Scalzo. Ken Svensson, general manager of Harley Davidson Thailand, said that Honda’s entry into the market would “give leverage to the big bike market and raise awareness throughout Thailand”. He said the entry of such a big player as Honda and increasing domestic production would put pressure on importers in the grey market and ultimately benefit all authorised dealers in Thailand and the bike enthusiasts that patronise them.

Eat in or Takeaway 081 455 5298 Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 As it turns out, there are indeed mountains high enough and valleys low enough to keep you from your love. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 The stars wouldn’t take the risks you do, but, hey, it’s your life for the next six months or so. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You’ll be trapped in a hell of your own making, forcing you to admit that you really should have put in more bathrooms. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 Your favourite T-shirt brings about your downfall when a literalminded mob follows its instructions and fills you to the indicated line with margaritas.
HUSH !!
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Many have felt the Love Which Dare Not Speak Its Name, but you’ll experience the Love That Bellows Its Name Out A Crosstown-Bus Window All Day. Gemini May 22 – June 21 Once again, the specter of war will dominate international news, preventing people the world over from learning how you made the world’s largest apple pie. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Your problem is that you have no sense of proportion, which is why you paid surgeons to enlarge your head and hands. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 Some people believe your house in Heaven is filled with all the things you lost while on earth, which explains the dead pets lying everywhere.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 That run for the record books once again falls short when you start Boston’s all-time second-largest fire. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Next time, when passing a note intended to find out if someone likes you, you’ll know to provide more than one box to check. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 The story of the universe has always fascinated you, but the ending will leave you with a lot of unanswered questions. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You’ll never smile again after the tragic loss of your lower jaw and lips this week.

bombed out Balotelli ‘didn’t know he’s not supposed to kill people’
manchester, england MARIO Balotelli last night said he was ‘surprised’ at Roberto Mancini’s angry reaction to the bomb he planted under his car. The Manchester City striker insisted the 1kg device was a ‘spur of the moment thing’ and that he would ‘probably have forgotten to detonate it anyway’. He said: “Now everyone is saying I lack professionalism. That seems unfair. It was just a medium sized car bomb. I do it all the time. And I did write ‘Love from Mario’ on it.” The attempted murder of his manager could be the final straw for the Italian international following his attempt to use a massive, twohanded sword at corners and free-kicks and his Christmas Eve CS gas attack at the Arndale Centre. Balotelli added: “Mancini has always been like this. When we were both at Inter Milan I had a leopard that I used to starve for a few days and then release at training. “The manager would get so angry with me. I could not understand why as my leopard was
obviously really hungry. I sometimes think Mancini is a very cruel man.” City’s owners now face the dilemma of trying to offload the mercurial striker to a manager that is okay with random car bombs. There is apparently some interest from a Sicilian outfit, and they are also expecting an offer ‘any day now from a mob in Chicago’ according to a spokesman. Las Vegas is also another possible destination, but bookies currently have the Damascus based Syrian Champions, Al-Shorta SC, as the favourites to sign him. Footballologist Wayne Hayes said: “They’ll need to write some kind of water-tight ‘no murdering’ clause into his contract. The lawyers will have a field day. Still, if he does go to Syria, at least he will have something to do in his spare time.” Above: Mario ‘Bomber’ Balotelli and Roberto ‘Pink Panther’ Mancini square up after Mancini finds the bomb under his car
