an era hilton hua hin to be sold
hua hin, THAILAND The rumours have been circulating for some time, but an announcement this week by Jones Lang Lasalle’s Hotels and Hospitality Group seems to confirm that the Hilton Hua Hin will be closing in the near future. The announcement said that the hotel is being offered for sale through an international expressions-of-interest campaign launched this week by JLL. In a press statement, JLL said the campaign has already received a number of both domestic and international enquiries. Its managing director, Mike Batchelor, said: “Hua Hin has emerged as one of Thailand’s dynamic resort markets over the past 10 years, in terms of demand and supply. Within only a two-hour drive from Bangkok, it is a popular weekend destination for Bangkokians. Hua Hin also continues to be a favoured holiday destination for Europeans and is gaining more popularity amongst international tourists. This is reflected by the strong trading performance of the hotel with average occupancy of over 70 per cent year-round. “Hotels of this calibre are rarely offered to the market especially given that it is a strong trading asset with solid growth prospects due to its exceptional location, spectacular views and a globally recognised brand.” The 298-key beachfront property in the heart of downtown Hua Hin features a large ballroom, a number of food and beverage outlets, as well as a highrise tower which is irreplaceable today, as high-rise developments are no longer allowed to be built in such proximity to the beach under current zoning regulations. The iconic building stands on nearly 15 rai of freehold beachfront land and will be the second major hotel to change hands in the last two years, following the closure and demolition of the Marriott Resort.

weird NEWS london, england The lights are on but nobody’s home as the Metropolitan Police pay £100 to change a lightbulb The Metropolitan Police spend up to £100 each time a lightbulb needs changing, according to new figures. A maintenance firm is paid the dazzling sum every time a bulb needs changing ‘urgently’ while in ‘non-urgent’ cases they receive £26. The figures were brought to light by barrister Jessica Learmond-Criqui after she was tipped off by disgruntled officers frustrated by the ‘current’ state of police finances. With budgets being cut across the force and up to 65 police stations across London facing closure, many have criticised the apparent waste of money spent on such a simple task. ‘It’s utterly crazy that the Met would even consider wasting so much money on changing a lightbulb,’ Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, told the Sunday People. ‘This sounds like the punchline to a bad joke yet the bill to taxpayers is no laughing matter,’ added Mr Isaby, who seems to be quite switched on about the subject. The bright sparks at the force also admitted that the charge they pay to contractors Interserve is determined by the position of the light fitting and the type of bulb
used. So it turns out it takes more than just a couple of coppers to change a light bulb. belgium Maths teacher threatens Game of Thrones spoilers instead of detention for naughty students Remember spending ages writing lines on the blackboard, or sitting in detention? A maths teacher apparently decided to up the ante by threatening to reveal Game of Thrones spoilers to his misbehaving students. One day while teaching in a noisy classroom, the educator asked who watched Game of Thrones, to which the majority raised their hands. ‘Well, I’ve read all the books,’ he told them. ‘If there is too much noise, I will write the name of the dead on the board. They are enough to fill the whole year and I can even describe how they die,’ reports nieuwsblad.be. Those troublemakers who took it as an empty threat soon found themselves living to regret it when the teacher proceeded to write the names of those killed off in the third series on the board. Unsurprisingly, the class got back pretty sharpish to working on long division and the like in silence after that.

SERVED UP BY...
A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. This week it is..... Bale out/bail out Various meanings, including ‘making an emergency parachute escape from an aeroplane’ and ‘ladling water from a boat’. This is an unusual phrase (or is that pair of phrases?) in that it isn’t the origin or the meaning that is the source of debate, but the spelling. Is it ‘bale out’ or bail out’, and should there be different spellings for the different meanings of the phrase? Those meanings would be a good place to start: Make an emergency exit from an aeroplane, using a parachute; Ladle water from a boat; Liberate from prison, into the security of a guarantor; Jump from a surfboard/skateboard/bicycle etc., in order to avoid getting injured; Step away from a pitch in baseball. You may be clear in your own mind as to the correct spelling for each of these. Whichever you opt for you will have no difficulty in finding supporting examples in print. There are many examples of both ‘bail out’ and ‘bale out’ for all of the above meanings. There is a ‘correct’ spelling for each however, based on whether the expression in question derives from ‘bale’ or ‘bail’ and, more significantly, where you live. In the USA, ‘bail’ is almost always used for all variants. Let’s take the meanings for which there is a degree of agreement about the spelling. The ‘ladling of water from a boat’ is properly written as ‘bailing’ or ‘bailing out’. This derives from ‘baile’, which is an early name for a bucket or pail. It is tempting to imagine that a bail is some sort of cross between a bucket and a pail, but that’s just fancy. This usage has been known since the 17th century; for example, Samuel Purchas’s Pilgrimage, 1613: They bailed and pumped two thousand tuns [another vessel for liquids ] and yet were ten foot deepe. ‘Liberating from prison’, often on the payment of a surety, is also unambiguously ‘bailing out’. This derives from the French ‘baillier’ meaning ‘to deliver on trust’.
This usage dates back to the 14th century in French and appears in Shakespeare in Titus Andronicus, 1588: Thou shalt not baile them, see thou follow me. The last two, which both utilize the sense of ‘bail’ as withdrawing from something, are clearly of fairly recent American derivation and it is reasonable to defer to the US ‘bail’ spelling there. The earliest example I can find of such is in Ted Masters’ Surfing Made Easy, 1962: Bailing out, getting off and away from the surfboard on purpose. What is essentially the same meaning of ‘bailing’ was adopted as Valley Speak, as demonstrated in Mimi Pond’s Valley Girl’s Guide to Life, 1982: When you skip school.., it’s cool to go, ‘like, I bailed, man.’ Or when you leave a party, you go, ‘Let’s bail.’ The only meaning of ‘bail/bale out’ for which the spelling is widely disputed is the emergency exiting of aeroplanes. This depends on whether the allusion being made is to aircrew being bundled out of a stricken aeroplane like a bale of hay, or being tipped out as in the bailing out of a boat. An alternative allusion for the ‘bail’ spelling would be the ‘bailing out of’, that is, the removing from, jail. The US ‘bail out’ shows that they rejected the bale of hay imagery. It isn’t that the US have opted to spell hay-bale as hay-bail - they are quite happy to ‘tote that barge and lift that bale’. The earliest reference I can find to the naming of the jump from an aircraft is from the USA, in a September 1925 edition of The Oakland Tribune: The pilot who has to ‘bail out’ hurriedly from a crippled or burning plane. In other parts of the English-speaking world, should you decide to record your heroic jump from an aircraft, you’d be advised to write it as ‘bale out’. The first record of this from a non-US source is Fred Tredrey’s flying school diary, Pilot’s Summer, 1939: If you bale out and land in water... a smart rap will release the whole lot and you can swim free.

a little history Many of you will have visited Malaysia at one time or another. Either a quick border hop for a visa, a bit longer trip to the Thai consul on Penang, or simply for a change of scenery. The country is particularly user friendly to British, Australian, American and Canadian passport holders, allowing these, along with some other foreign nationals, 90 days visa free on entry. An even better bargain was had by the British East India Company back in 1786, when the King of Kedah, whose small kingdom included Penang, agreed to let the British occupy the island at a cost of 6,000 Spanish dollars a year, for the purpose of establishing a naval base there and expanding trade. By the late 1700’s the East India Company had already come a long way since its formation in 1600, when it began life as a kind of co-operative venture with a few share holders. The growing trade in spices and other goods from Asia was extremely valuable, and by the late 18th century the company had control of much of India, its’ only remaining major adversary there being the Mahratta Empire. Which is where two British brothers, Richard and Arthur Wellesley, stepped in. Born into British nobility, Richard - Lord Mornington - became Governor General of India in 1798, and was determined to increase the control of the East India Company over the country. His younger, and less well known brother Arthur, hadn’t done as well as Richard at school, and was perhaps a bit of a weakling (and what we would now call a ‘Hooray Henry.) But he got his act together and as a Major General was to lead his troops to victory over the remaining opposition. Only later, following his return to England, would Arthur become the Duke of Wellington, no doubt much to the annoyance of Richard. But it was Richard Wellesley who left his mark on an area of Malaysia which is now part of Seberang Perai. In 1800, in addition to Penang, the King of Kedah also ceded part of the mainland, which included Butterworth, to the East India Company (for an additional 4,000 Spanish dollars a year) and the area was named Province Wellesley after Richard. Unfortunately an agreement that the British would also protect what remained of Kedah from invasion by its’ Northern neighbour, Siam, failed miserably. In 1821, upon its’ occupation by the Siamese, which was to last for 21 years, many of Kedahs’ people fled into Province Wellesley for British protection. Malaysia of course has a very chequered and complex political history, but looking back to Wellesleys’ time, and the influence of the East India Company, it is a little

easier to see why the country is still so easy for us to get into. .......................................................... Words of the week This weeks’ first word is an ‘ology’, and is relevant to a very large chunk of Asia. ‘Sinology’ is the study of Chinese culture, language and history. .......................................................... ‘Panjandrum’ sounds to me like the kind of mess people can find themselves in when they accidentally get both legs into one leg of their pyjamas. In fact it is a pompous self important person in a position of authority. You can now pass a few hours worth of Chiangs making a list of all those you know.....

Souay Vista Social Club
Any music lovers, anywhere in the proximity of Hua Hin, need to find their way over to the Souay Vista on Soi 94, to hear the Liquid Blues Band play their mix of rhythm & blues - every Thurs and Sat night. There is no cover charge, you are not even required to eat or drink, but this band deserves an audience! Ask anyone who has been part of that audience. If you haven’t been, you need to do something about that because you are missing some magic.

Featured Game
Sunday 30th March 2014 PREMIER LEAGUE Arsenal v Man City 00:30 With Chelsea and Liverpool in fine form, this is a crucial game for both these sides. Arsenal were crushed by Chelsea last week in another unexpected twist, and we wonder if that might be the end of their title challenge - certainly defeat here would be, and would again have pundits and fans questioning whether Wenger will ever be able to mount another serious challenge for the title. We think City will be at their ruthless best and send the Gunners to another heavy defeat.
