awol to celebrate five years and 250 issues

hua hin, THAILAND Our eagle-eyed readers will have spotted that this week’s issue is number 249, which means, naturally enough, that next week is our 250th issue, as well as being the completion of five years in print. This is absolutely a reason to celebrate, and we want to thank our readers and advertisers with a party next Friday evening at King Bar on Soi Binthabaht.

In the grand tradition of all the Balloon Chaser entries over those five years, there will be balloons, as well as free food, live music and at various times throughout the evening free drink specials with the AWOL Shot Spinner.

The party starts at 7.30pm and will carry on until late, and we hope that as many of you can come as possible for what will be a lot of fun.

King Bar has been recently extensively refurbished and is one of the longer established bars in the centre of town, located at the Hilton end of Soi Binthabaht, the first on the right as you head down the street. It is a regular haunt for many of the expat community, as well as tourists and other visitors to the area.

Anyone who does come to the party will have the opportunity to meet and speak with some of the people involved in producing the paper, and we would welcome any comments and feedback to help us shape the future of AWOL. If you can’t make it to the party, you will be missed, but you can still keep in touch with us either by email on info@awolonline.net, via our forum at www.awolonline.net/forum or on Facebook www.facebook.com/ AWOLexpat or /pages/AWOL-For-the-expat-in-all-of-us/281388658063.

stories kill or cure?

By Roger Norwood The next time you or one of your Thai family or friends has a dose of the sniffles or a heavy cold, I can almost guarantee that they will end up taking or advising you to take some antibiotics. This will also often be the case when you see a doctor or pharmacist.

Most expats will have encountered this, and the problem of over prescribing antibiotics is not limited to Thailand, and has become a serious issue worldwide. Why is it a problem? The bacterial diseases that antibiotics are designed to treat (so that is a no to treating viruses with them, like, for example, the common cold) have evolved and are becoming increasingly resistant to them.

tell your tales in thai with fun and easy tutoring

Don’t Be Tongue Tied!

Fun, Easy and Affordable 1-on-1 Private Thai Lessons 080 321 5889 kamonphan.m@gmail.com

In March this year, the UK’s Chief Medical Officer highlighted this problem in her annual report, saying that Britain’s health system could slip back by 200 years unless the “catastrophic threat” of antibiotic resistance is successfully tackled.

There are several reasons in addition to over prescription as to why this problem has reached such proportions; one is that the pharmaceutical companies are tending to shy away from developing new antibiotics and focusing their efforts on ‘lifestyle’ drugs and other more profitable medicines; another is the increasing use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, where it is commonplace for antibiotics to be added to the food, so much of the meat and fish we buy has antibiotics

within it; then there is the increasing self medication in countries like Thailand where antibiotics are available without prescription over the counter.

Of course the final outcome of all these antibiotics washing around in our bodies is that our immune systems get weaker, and we are less able than ever to cope with bacterial disease. So the next time someone offers or gives you antibiotics, unless you are seriously ill, think twice about accepting them - your immune system may take a little longer to deal with whatever you have but it will get there, and more importantly, will become stronger as a result.

So, do you want the red pill or the blue pill?

new zealand Beer on tap: Man finds entire house rigged with beer in epic prank It’s every man’s dream property complete with all the mod cons including a kitchen, a bathroom and… beer on tap. That’s what one guy in New Zealand came home to find after his friends decided to prank him and plumb his entire house with beer. A seven-minute long YouTube video shows a group of lads sneakily plumbing their mate Russ’s house while he was out.

The clip shows them putting dozens of beer barrels under the house and hooking them up to the plumbing system so every tap in the building runs cold beer.The men then rig the house with cleverly-hidden video cameras so they can capture the moment Russ walks in on the prank.

Once satisfied that beer pours from every tap, they settle in the garage and wait patiently for Russ to return home.

Trying keep giggles to a minimum, the men watch eagerly as Russ wonders around the house and turns a tap on saying, ‘What the hell!’

Eventually they give up the joke and greet him; cheering and filming as Russ invites them in for a beer.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated.

This week it is..... Hush puppies A type of suede shoes. Also, in the USA, a form of corn- Yankee soldiers approaching, they would quieten their barking dogs by throwing them the fried cornmeal balls. bread fritter.

Hush Puppies in the culinary sense are balls of fried In the southern USA, salamanders were called “water seasoned cornbread. They have been popular in the dogs” or “water puppies”. These were eaten as part of southern states of the USA, often eaten with fried fish, poor people’s diet - deep-fried with cornmeal. They were and possibly known since the 18th century. The first given the name hush puppies as eating such humble reference to the term in print come quite late, but that’s food wasn’t something people wanted to discuss. not entirely surprising as few people would have had Hush Puppy shoes were produced by the US shoe company Wolverine World Wide from 1958 onward. The any reason to write the name down.

In Dialect Notes, 1918: “Hushpuppy, a sort of bread company had developed a method of tanning pigskin and were looking for an outlet for the soft pigskin suede. prepared very quickly and without salt.”

By 1947 the US magazine This Week had printed what It is reported that the name was coined by Jim Muir, amounts to a basic recipe: “What’s a hush puppy? You the company’s Sales Manager. He noticed that a friend’s mean you don’t know that Southern fried bread like a dogs were quietened by giving them corn hush puppies miniature corn pone - but glorified? It’s made of the and, knowing that aching feet were called barking dogs, white cornmeal of the South, smooth and fine as face thought that ‘Hush Puppies’ would be a good name for the shoes. The ‘barking dogs’ phrase was well-known powder.”

There are many stories about the origin of the term. None in the USA by 1958, so the story is plausible at least, of these come complete with any supporting evidence although I can only report it here as hearsay. so, unlike the early hushpuppies themselves, have to be The shoes were heavily marketed from 1958, although taken with a pinch of salt. Two of the most commonly ironically, the shoes themselves have crepe soles that repeated stories are: If Confederate soldiers detected often squeak loudly on hard flooring.

Daily, weekly or long term deputy prime minister Nick Clegg walks into a bank to cash a cheque. He approaches the cashier and says “Good morning, could you please cash this cheque for me”?

Cashier: “It would be my pleasure Sir. Could you please show me your ID?” Clegg: “I didn’t bring ID with me as I didn’t think there was any need. I am Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister!!!”

Cashier: “I’m sorry, but with all the regulations, monitoring, of the banks because of impostors and forgers, etc. I must insist on proof of identity.”

Clegg: “Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am.”

Cashier: “I am sorry Deputy Prime Minister but these are the bank rules and I must follow them.”

Clegg: “I need this cheque cashed.”

Cashier: “Perhaps there’s another way: One day Colin Montgomery came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Colin Montgomery he pulled out his putter and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Colin Montgomery and cashed his cheque. Another time, Andy Murray came in without ID. He pulled out his tennis racquet and made a fabulous shot where the tennis ball landed in my cup.

With that spectacular shot we cashed his cheque. So sir, what can you do to prove that you, and only you, are the Deputy Prime Minister?”

Clegg stood there thinking and finally said: “Honestly, I can’t think of a single thing I’m good at.”

Cashier: “Will that be large or small notes, Deputy Prime Minister?”

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas

bum deal September in Thailand is usually so devoid of tourists that it is often referred to as ‘Black September’. Any Americans and Europeans who used their summer leave to head for Thailand in the middle of the rainy season have long gone, and the big influx of Christmas holiday makers seems a long way off.

The only travellers are gap year students, who head for the Full Moon parties in the south, or to Chiang Mai and other northern destinations where they can swing around in trees. (In any case they don’t count - as we all know that backpackers don’t spend anything in bars.)

In the UK September can be equally dreary. The shops haven’t yet quite decided which season they are trading in. Parliament should really still be on holiday, but that is as much a smokescreen as the seasonal fog. And the only people who have too much work are the farmers.

So this months’ spate of newsworthy items ‘Brit Side’ have come as a welcome diversion from the prospect of October, and the Christmas countdown which will accompany it.

First on the agenda is the rather drawn out wait for what may, or may not, be the arrival of a baby panda at Edinburgh Zoo. The zoo expects to make 48 million pounds in revenue if Tian Tian, its’ giant panda, succeeds in giving birth. That is probably more than some distilleries gross in a year. But female pandas are fickle creatures with alarming hormone swings, and poor Tian Tian may be reluctant to upstage her rival for Mum of the Year Award, the Duchess of Cambridge.

The Duchess (Kate to you and me) made her first official appearance following the birth of Prince George in mid September, at the Tusk Trust Awards.

It is not advisable to try to pronounce that while drinking Chang. Suffice to say that the newly retired Duke of Cambridge, aka Prince William, is also having a gap year, beginning with the Tusk Trust Awards dinner where he presented the first Prince William Award for Conservation in Africa.

Any other young couple about to move into an expensive apartment with a new baby would have to think twice about the effect of such early retirement on the husbands’ RAF pension, but Kate appeared at the event in a sparkly 2,500 pound gown. (That’s about 125,000 Baht.)

Admittedly she looked stunning, and the young Royals do have a long tradition to uphold. Quite how the British public will view Prince Williams’ change of direction from helicopter pilot to conservationist son of his tree hugging father though is debatable.

Equally debatable is the announcement by Jeremy Clarkson that he ‘might’ stand for election as a Member of Parliament in the next General Election.

As luck would have it ‘petrol head’ Clarkson has his eye on his home town of Doncaster as his possible launch pad into politics, which currently happens to have Labour leader Ed Miliband as its MP for Doncaster North.

Whatever you think about Clarkson he does at least have strong opinions on almost everything, and is more famous than Miliband. The fact that he is a journalist and TV presenter is no deterrent either to a career in UK politics, in fact it can help. The MP for Great Grimsby* is Austin Mitchell, who was also a TV presenter in a previous life, while our House of Lords does contain the odd actor and author or two. The UKs’ parliamentary selection process tends to avoid replacing a Prime Minister with their sibling - but otherwise anyone can be in with a chance, and in the current political climate Clarkson must stand a better chance than most. * As a place name ‘Great Grimsby’ is rarely recognised

by Hull folk, who simply use the usual title ‘Grimsby’ or more often ‘Grimesby’ - in deference to decades of friendly trawler competition between the two ports.

Eat in or Takeaway 081 455 5298 Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 Strong eye contact and a firm handshake will help you to make significant strides in the world of being a humongous prick this week.

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 You’ll balloon up to triple your weight after several months spent following a diet-book typo that told you to eat 16,000 calories a day.

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 Being white and wealthy and privileged does have its share of advantages. That’s it.

Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 There truly is more than one way to skin a cat, but the limited market for cat skins makes learning more than three methods impractical.

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Losing a limb can be a trying and traumatic experience, but you’ll be an expert at it by the end of the week.

Gemini May 22 – June 21 You thought the old gag with the banana peel was dead forever, and if it weren’t for you and a dumpster full of shattered fluorescent-light tubes, it would be.

Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 After exhausting every other conceivable option, you’ll finally give in this week and take a shower.

Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 Animal rights activists will accuse you of cruel and inhumane conduct, even though the chicken is already dead, and that’s just the way you eat wings.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 You’ll be credited with a new kind of piracy that is even less glamorous than “software” and “music,” and a hell of a lot less sexy than “butt.”

Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Once all the goats are rounded up, the German tourists are extradited, and the syrup trucks are returned, you’ll have to admit that you never saw that one coming.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 They say no news is good news, but you’re beginning to suspect there’s a reason why those doctors keep avoiding your calls.

Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You always wondered which of your sins would send you to hell, but you never thought it would be tipping Roger $2.34 on a $60 check.

And it was Jo that had the staying power to win the trophy, while his team mates celebrated the Championship as well. Runners up in Division 1 were CAT Karaoke. Division 2 was won by All Nations Guesthouse and we assume that they will be plying their trade next season in Division 1.

Worthy Runners up were Blue Lagoon 2.

A hearty thanks to Oil and Martin for their efforts in organising the season, and to Johnny’s 56 for their hosting of the finals.

Featured Game Sunday 22nd September 2013 PREMIER LEAGUE Man City v Man Utd 22:00 Almost nothing between these two sides as the first of the Manchester derbies takes place with them lying in 4th and 5th at this early stage of the season. Both clubs are coming off the back of good Champions League victories, although City had a disappointing goalless draw in their last league outing. Wayne Rooney seems to have settled his differences with United and is playing as if he has a point to prove, and we feel he may be the difference in this game if he plays. A tight game though, and a narrow away win.

the game’s afoot Being English only motivates for 45 minutes

england THE England football team has admitted that a fierce sense of national pride is only good for about three-quarters of an hour.

Players who took part in last week’s thrilling 0-0 draw with Ukraine said they take to the pitch all fired up about Shakespeare, Churchill and Kate Moss but then run out patriotism towards the end of the first half.

Captain Steven Gerrard said: “At first we were keeping each other going with shouts of ‘Stephenson’s Rocket!’ ‘The abolition of slavery!’ ‘Isambard Kingdom Brunel!’

“But as half-time approached, we’re down to things like Fray Bentos pies, Homes Under the Hammer and the 24-hour Toby Carvery in Shenley Church End, Milton Kenyes.

“And by the second half, after Roy’s team talk about Last of the Summer Wine, out-of-town retail parks and Fisherman’s Friends, it was all we could do not to kick the ball into our own net.”

Left: England fans react as their national team runs out of patriotism; or it could be just that they heard Joe Hart singing the National Anthem..

Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: “Most of us are patriotic for a few minutes a year, at most, so we imagine that it’s more powerful than it is.

“The truth, as professional athletes have discovered, is that dwelling on England for any longer than that leads to thoughts of queuing behind a Transit van on the M6, of the wind whipping an empty Londis carrier

bag through a multi-storey car park and winning an out-of-date tin of biscuits in a tombola, rather than a stirring speech or the strains of ‘Jerusalem’.

“Greg Dyke is right – England must not win the World Cup.”
