Baht valuation goes for a ride
hua hin, THAILAND As we go to print, if you’ve got a pocket full of greenbacks or a few quid, or certainly any foreign currency in a bank which you are considering converting to baht, the recommendation at the moment would be ‘hold’. For avid currency watchers the current exchange rate for Thai baht seems overvalued. Some long-term residents amongst us can recall the days when the baht traded in the mid-forties against the US dollar. The baht has appreciated over 30% in the last five to ten years and was trading at 29.95 baht to US dollar in recent days, making it the strongest regional currency. Last week Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra convened an urgent meeting with ministers to consider actions to reign in the baht’s strengthening and erratic fluctuations. Members of government have voiced their concerns that the strong baht would hurt Thai exporters as the cost of Thai goods becomes more expensive on the foreign market. Just as the strong baht has a negative impact on some it also has a positive effect for others; Finance Minister Kittiratt Na-Ranong gave examples such as imports of heavy machinery, construction equipment and industrial technology, and highlighted how the government would move ahead with various infrastructure development and flood control projects. He added that this was an opportunity for the private sector to import goods and advanced technologies, and thus being able to raise their efficiency, increase production and cut costs. It is a precarious balancing act to say the least, and one that many Thai businesses won’t be able to take advantage of due to limited capital and cash reserves. In the meantime, keep your quid and pocket your pennies if you’re able to sit this one out for a time. While Thailand seems to lack any motivation to make meaningful policy changes to cap or lower the baht, currency valuation is hardly a wholly domestic matter. Movement in the Forex is likely to keep the baht in check, hopefully bringing the currency back to more realistic levels.

As thick as thieves by the late 17th century it is surprising that ‘as thick Close friends with; sharing confidences.

The first to that expectation. As you may have guessed from example found in print is from the English newspaper that lead in, the two phrases are entirely unconnected. The Morning Chronicle, in a letter dated March 1827, The short planks are thick in the ‘stupid’ sense of the published in February 1828: word, whereas thieves aren’t especially stupid but are Bill Morris and me are as thick as two thieves. conspiratorial and that’s the meaning of ‘thick’ in ‘as So there you have it; proverbially at least, planks are stupid but thieves (unless you include bankers) aren’t. thick as thieves’. ‘Thick’ was first used to mean ‘closely allied with’ in the As thick as two short planks, as we have learnt, means 18th century, as in this example from Richard Twining’s exceedingly stupid. ‘Thick’ has been used to mean slow-witted or stupid since the turn of the 17th century. memoir Selected Papers of the Twining Family, 1781: Mr. Pacchicrotti was at Spa. He and I were quite ‘thick.’ Shakespeare used it to good effect in Henry IV, Part. 2, 1600: Hang him baboon, his wit’s as thicke as We rode together frequently. He drank tea with me.

Pennsylvania, usa World War II veteran’s funeral procession stops at Burger King for one last meal The family of a World War II veteran and life-long fan of fast food arranged for his hearse to make an usual stop during his funeral procession – at a Burger King drive-through. Friends and family of David Kime organised a trip to his favourite Burger King restaurant in Pennsylvania during the hearse’s journey to the cemetery. Upon reaching the drive-through, each mourner picked up a Whopper Jr burger. Mr Kime even got one, with the Whopper, apparently one of his favourites, placed on his coffin in the cemetery. Commenting on the unusual funeral, his daughter Linda Phiel said: ‘He lived a wonderful life and on his own terms.’ Ms Phiel said her father, who passed away on January 20 aged 88, had eaten what he wanted after his wife Grace died 25 years ago. ‘My mother kind of kept him in check. When she died, for a while, he would eat with us. But he considered us health freaks because we ate things that were green, like broccoli,’ she added. Despite being a borderline diabetic and having a pacemaker fitted, Ms Phiel told the York Daily Record her father had refused to change his diet, telling her: ‘I won’t live longer, it will just seem like it because I’ll be more miserable faster.’ Mr Kime was apparently ‘not prejudiced’ when it came to fast food and would go to any type of restaurant he was invited to. The manager of the Pennsylvania Burger King said she was pleased he had remained a loyal customer. ‘It’s nice to know he was a loyal customer up until the end – the very end,’ Margaret Hess said.
pembrokeshire, uk French ban Twitter favourite ‘hashtag’ in bid to protect language The French have banned the omnipotent Twitter term ‘hashtag’ from all official government documents in their latest attempt to prevent English words invading their language. The government’s Académie Française has declared that the French word ‘mot-dièse’ must be used when there is any reference to the # symbol in published reports. It is the latest move following years of attempts by the French to protect and promote their native language. Schools have been told to encourage children to use the alternative French term, and the media has also been asked to dump the English version. The Académie has pages of words that the French are trying to phase out, from the bog standard such as ‘email’, ‘DJ’ and ‘chewing gum’ to technical terms, such as ‘orbit-lowering’ and ‘leveraged buy-out’. It also includes ensuring words have all the appropriate accents, such as ‘cafeteria’ being written as ‘cafétéria’. Over 5000 English words or phrases are present but many are barely different in the two languages, such as ‘euro zone’ being said in French as ‘zone euro’, while some very odd entries appear like ‘yoyo’ which is apparently exactly the same. A government report into English two years ago warned of a ’deep crisis’ facing the French language and the realisation that, despite having 200 million Frenchspeakers on the planet, ‘the idea of a French-speaking world is becoming obsolete’.

horsemeat burgers part two Never having another one of those Tesco burgers. Gave me the trots.
Motorbikes for Rent
Daily, weekly or long term
I think someone may be sending me death threats. I woke up this morning with a Tesco burger in my bed. I used to work for Tesco, but I was fired. I got an email about a delivery of horse meat and I marked it as spam.

sign of the times I was cleaning the loft out the other night and found a copy of the 1974 TV Times. Or the sex offenders register as it’s called now.
Horse meat in Tesco burgers? What are the odds on that? I tried to take some burgers back to Tesco but they said they wouldn’t accept them. Looks like I’m saddled with them.
red rag to a bull The wife said to me “I bet you can’t go one day without cracking a joke about my periods.” “You’re on.” I said.
Husband: ‘I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.’ Wife: ‘Why don’t you go to Tesco?’ Personally, I think people who don’t like eating horse meat are being a bit blinkered. Are you in favour of horse meat in your burgers? Yay or Neigh? I won’t be switching to Tesco Finest burgers. They’re so expensive that buying enough for a big family dinner won’t leave you much change from a pony. Just been to Tesco and bought a bottle of Bacardi, a bottle of Lamb’s and some burgers. So that’s white rum, navy rum and Red Rum. Despite the recent scandal, Tesco insist they use only meat of the highest quality. A spokesman said: ‘Our meat has to clear several hurdles before it goes on sale.’

saddled Lance Armstrong will forever be saddled with the ignominy of his downfall, but really should be applauded for riding a bike so well on drugs. I tried it once, hit a dog and fell into a canal. Jump leads A chap goes to a night club and is refused entry on the grounds that he’s not wearing a tie. “Hang on a minute” he says to the doorman, “I think I’ve got one in my car, I’ll just go back and get it. So our chap goes back to his car and after many minutes of searching fails to find a tie. All he can find is a set of jump leads so he wraps them round his neck, ties them in a knot and returns to the club. “I couldn’t find a tie, will this do?” he asks. The doorman looks him up and down and says “well I guess you can come in, but you’d better not start anything”.

ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE IN CHA AM FOR THE EXPAT IN ALL OF US
Golfing in a hot climate Golf is a funny old game, one where it’s more important to be consistent than just drive the long-bomb. From tee to green, to maintain a consistent swing, predictable and accurate, is probably the most vital element in your game. Particularly in a hot, sweaty and humid climate as our Cha-Am courses can be most often. Prepare for the heat. Bring lots of water or whatever liquids you prefer. Be “fuelled up” before the game, eat or stock up on chocolate (it works for me!). Bring plenty of extra balls and let’s hit the tee. There are many low-energy tips for driving the ball long and straight; but my favorite is the “belt-buckle”. The rule is simple: just remember at
the moment of impact to have your “belly button” (or belt-buckle) aimed at the hole. For most swingers this will force them to rotate their hips a bit faster, which often eliminates a slice but may aggravate the hook for a right-handed player. Try it, it might work for your drive. If you’re shanking the ball all over the place with the driver, consider hitting the ball a bit softer or using a 3W or long iron – you’d be surprised how by playing within your limits how much straighter and better positioned the ball will be. On the fairways remember you’re burning energy pulling your clubs along, drink regularly. Most importantly on the fairways are your irons, and a deadly iron-shot is often the difference between a
birdie and disaster. Long irons up to the 5-iron should be your best shots. Not too much wrist and a good follow-through help keep you straight; but it’s the distance you’re most concerned about. For all the irons before you address the ball, just make a mental note of the distance and take two practice swings: the first deliberately practice a shot that’s not hard enough – on the second practice a swing that’s too hard – you’re distance and swing should be between those two .. mentally you’ve got the right “pace” now and this technique should save you shots by dialing-in the distance better. continued on page 21

Golfing in a hot climate continued from page 19 Off the green you’re typically faced with short pitches. These kinds of shots are always difficult to get right, particularly with a PW of SW off the green, the backspin is often hard to judge. In a hot climate, knowing you’re suffering a bit, I’ve often found it best to keep the short-irons in the bag! Personally I like the 5-iron up to 7. The shot is exactly the same as the putt you would make from the same distance; by using a mid-iron the ball pops over the rough-stuff and rolls naturally when it lands on the green – give it a try! Aim to be inside 2metres of the hole to ensure a nice finishing putt. Putting is where you need to finish. It’s hot and you’re sweating – take your glove off – aim to have it down in 2 and aim, not for the hole, for a 1metre circle around the hole – get the line and concentrate on the pace. The better you get at this technique the closer you will be to
guarantee Par. Then it’s off to the next hole – keep drinking – don’t run – save your energy and get in the “zone” Don’t get frustrated. In golf each hole is a new game, reset your mind and focus. .. because this game is 90% mental and 10% physical! Enjoy your time on the links .. Thailand and the Cha-Am HuaHin area have some of the nicest courses in the country right in your own back yard! 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.

Eat in or Takeaway 081 455 5298 Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 Heartbreak is in the stars for you this week when the woman of your dreams confesses she cannot love a man with such an unholy appetite for pie. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 You’ve had your picture in the paper before, but never in connection with a catastrophic bridge collapse. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 Remember, it’s not how hard you beat the goat, but whether the goat you’re beating is on fire. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 You’re finally entering the period of life in which the things that you want to do greatly outnumber the things that you will eventually do.
HUSH !!
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 The way to respond to a stupid question is to pretend not to hear it, which is why your friends all seem to have hearing problems. Gemini May 22 – June 21 An elite squad of international assassins will target you in an effort to make sure that the secrets behind your famous chili stay secret. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Everyone has one of those uncles who knows how to use a rifle, add a deck to the house, and catch a trout— everyone, that is, except for your nephew. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 After everyone has spoken, there will be an awkward, 90-second silence, at which point people will agree that you’ve been eulogized enough.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 The debate on whether we have a shame or a guilt-based society is complicated when, due to some odd circumstances, you kill a man by shitting your pants. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Once again, you’ll be surprised by how many of your troubles can be traced back to that smelly old couch. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 Though it’s noble that you became an accounts adjuster to make the world a better place, it remains unclear exactly how that’s going to happen. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Keep in mind that it’s important to set goals so you feel appropriately pathetic when you fail to achieve them.
Don’t tell anyone but I live in an area just like Hua Hin used to be 20 or 30 years ago
We have miles and miles of empty beaches. Wherever you live you are surrounded by trees and tropical shrubs and the sea may be at your doorstop or only a few minutes away. Living is peaceful - no traffic jams, condos or pollution. All necessities are here but for special things we have Hua Hin or Chumphon to the North or South.
So why don’t you think of joining us in this little Paradise by buying inexpensive land for a holiday home,weekends or permanent move?

Ferguson added, “We’re going to have him working on crosses with Eric Steel just as soon as he’s off the ventilator.” Chelsea meanwhile, have offered Morgan a formal apology and captain John Terry is take the teenager on a tour of the club’s dressing room and shower facilities on the condition that he bring his girlfriend.
