Local Golf Property Balloon Chasers The Numbers Game
hua hin city f.c. champions! local team in ‘champions league’ hua hin, THAILAND With a comfortable two - nil victory on Saturday at the Fort Thannarat stadium in Pranburi over JW Bangkok, Hua Hin City F.C. both won the Thai Division 2 League Central & Western Region title and achieved qualification to a Champions League style group stage split into two groups of six teams. The club laid on free transport to the stadium from the centre of Hua Hin and it was a party atmosphere from well before kick off, with the team only needing a draw to secure qualification and a win the title, barring a landslide of goals from the teams below them. The final table can be seen on page 22. Four teams will be promoted from the group of twelve qualifiers to Division 1, the tier below the Thai Premier League, with the other eleven teams being Thai Honda (Winner) and BCC Tero (Runner-up) from Bangkok & field region, Prachinburi United (W) and Maptaphut Rayong (R-up) from Central & Eastern, Sukhothai (W) and Phichit (R-up) from Northern, Ubon UMT (W) and Udon Thani (R-up) from North Eastern, Prachuap Khiri Khan (W) and Satun United (R-up) from Southern and the runner up in Hua Hin’s Central & Western league, Phetchaburi. The draw for the groups was not available at press time but the games are scheduled to start in a couple of weeks time. Congratulations to the team for achieving what they have so far in only their second season in this league and only their fourth year in existence; lets all cheer them on in hope that they can get promotion to the higher division - well done to all at Hua Hin City F.C.!

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 Old promises come due this week when you’re reminded of your pledge to get a real job just as soon as the Portuguese prime minister retires. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You’ll continue to spend your days covered in feathers and bird shit, proving that being dressed by birds every morning isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 You’re not the kind of person who can wear those stylish strappy heels, mostly because you’re too stupid to figure out how shoes go on.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Love, wisdom, and luck are all strong in your zodiac sign this week, providing further proof that you are not your zodiac sign. Gemini May 22 – June 21 The bellboy will be a little intimidated by all your luggage, but, frankly, a single suitcase nuke won’t do the job on a city that size. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 You’ll become embroiled in a vicious conflict between those who feel Queens of the Stone Age are overrated and those who want control of the cocaine trade on the Eastern Seaboard. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 You’re starting to believe that your neighbour is trying to hide something from you with all those clothes she insists on wearing.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 The stars have nothing to say to you this week, as they’re trying to work on their own future for once, if you don’t mind. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Spice things up in the bedroom this week by inviting someone to go in there with you for some intercourse. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You’ll have strange dreams in which a bearded hippie in a long robe urges you to cast off your burdens and join him at the right hand of his father, but it’s probably nothing. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Next week will be a joyful whirlwind of magic, laughter, and romance, so it’s too bad you’re going to miss the whole thing.

lazy wife A man has been married for several years and is fed up with the grotty house, the stacked up dirty dishes, and wifey forever lazing around on the lounge in dressing gown and curlers watching soapies on television. “Right, that’s it, enough is enough!” He thinks to himself, and at work the next day he phones up a lawyer friend and asks him if there is any precedence of a ‘legal’ murder. The only thing the lawyer could come up with was to screw his wife to death. “Thanks mate, I’ll give it a go.” When he gets home from work, he grabs his wife by her rollered hair, drags her kicking and screaming to the bedroom, rips off her tattered fluffy gown, and proceeds to hammer her holes every which way possible. After a few hours, she finally collapses and lays lifeless on the bed. He checks for vital signs, and satisfied he’s done her in, collapses into the best sleep he’s had in years. Waking up to go to work the next morning, the wife is still laying in the same spot as he left her. He whistles merrily as he shaves and showers, and is ecstatic as he drives to work. He hasn’t felt this fantastic in years! He’ll arrive home from work, find the body, and call the police to say she has died from a heart attack during a hectic sex session the previous evening. Perfect! He gets home that afternoon and walks through the front door. He can’t believe his eyes! The house is spotless! The kitchen is sparkling, and all the clothes that were clogging up the laundry are washed and neatly pressed. The next thing, here comes the wife down the stairs, pretty dress on, hair perfect and made up beautifully! In a semi state of shock he asks her what in the living hell is going on. She just gives him a wink and a smile and says, “You look after me love, and I’ll look after you.”

Daily, weekly or long term Bath Night In Scotland A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn’t have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire. “Monday’s the best night, when my husband goes out to darts,” she said. The girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday. After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn’t have any pubic hair. She mentioned this to her husband when he came home. He didn’t believe her, so she said: “Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I’ll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself.” So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked: “Do you shave?” “No,” replied the girl. “I’ve just never grown any hair down there. Do you have hair?” “Oh, yes,” said the woman, and she pulled up her nightdress and showed the girl that she was really generously endowed in the hair department.....very generously indeed. The girl finished her bath and went to bed. Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him, “Did you see it?” “Yes,” he said, “but why the hell did you have to show her yours?” “Why ever are you worried about that?” she said. “You’ve seen it often enough before.” “I know,” he said, “but the dart team hadn’t!”

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas
a cultural chasm According to UK government figures, over 800,000 Brits visit Thailand every year. Some of those will of course be regular visitors. Some of them ‘semi expats’ who stay for part of the year and may have property and family there, and who will know their way around the country and its customs hopefully well enough to avoid undue risks. Of the remaining huge numbers of regular British tourists there have now been seven reported killings since 1996, only one of which happened before 2000. But the most recent tragic murders of two British youngsters on Koh Tao on September 15th are the first I have known to attract such huge media coverage in the UK. Which at first I took to be a good sign. New brooms sweep clean kind of thing. More transparency in the police investigations, with constantly updated reports on their progress. Sadly as time goes by the use of the word ‘progress’ seems to lose credibilty. First it seems to have proven impossible to prevent anyone from leaving such a small island, even if only for a few hours. Or at the very least to make a record of those who did leave. Perhaps even take prints and swabs? Then a full week after the murders previously unmentioned CCTV footage was appearing, showing yet more individuals thought to be worth following up. Suspicion had already fallen on different ethnic groups, veering between them almost daily. It almost seemed as if a day at a time had been allocated to investigate farang, Thai, Burmese etc. Alongside all of this came ill judged comments about scantily clad women attracting attention to themselves. To be fair to the senior figure responsible for those comments, perhaps he is only familiar with scantily clad women who sit behind glass or dance on bars waiting for their number to be called, and perceives all others in the same way. After all he did then send his condolences to the families of the victims. But by then I can’t have been alone in thinking that the whole investigation was falling apart, and that maybe all

the new transparency was a mistake. It is bad enough for any parent to get that knock on the door with the heartbreaking news of the death of a child. But it is impossible to imagine what they are going through when new theories are presented to the world almost daily. Especially when those theories involve sexual conduct, supposed fights, jealousies and yaba. Of course expats know that the Thai way of dealing with death is very different to our Western way, and is unlikely to change. We also know that, compared with many other countries, Thailand is pretty safe. That said - I can’t remember the last time I heard of a tourist being murdered in the UK, although trying to unearth facts and figures could be a lifetimes work. What is interesting is a guide published in 2004 by the University at Albany in the States, which advised agencies there on how to analyse and respond to crimes against tourists. The guide produced a list of factors which contribute to these crimes, most of which are pretty obvious, and apply equally to tourists in Thailand. Factors such as tourists being seen as lucrative targets who are relaxed, off-guard, and therefore more prone to take risks, and who are more likely to be drawn to nightlife locations. To be fair most of us will be able to identify with those findings, and at some time have got the tee shirts to prove it. But one conclusion of the guide above all strikes a chord as far as Thailand is concerned, and that is the theory that local hostility grows along with increased tourism. And that theory does seem to fit with the increased popularity of Thailands’ southern islands for their full moon parties, and parties for the sake of parties, where small, once quiet communities are now thriving on the influx of tourists and the relative wealth they bring. The problem for Thailand now is managing that change. Just don’t hold your breath.

don’t count on it! Van Gaal calls for an end to numbers in football
england LOUIS van Gaal has claimed that football must be freed from the shackles of maths. The United manager is unwilling to acknowledge the goals scored over the weekend in numerical terms. He said: “Can a number describe the majesty of a volley? Or the sweet smell of newly mown grass? Or how much leveraged debt the club is currently in? “The game is a beautiful, flowing work of physical poetry that shouldn’t be sullied with the base functionality of, for instance, how many million we paid to borrow an injuryprone mercenary.” For Saturday’s game against West Ham he has proposed an interim measure of deciding the game based on which team George Best was most likely to play for if he was still alive. The Dutchman has dismissed other number alternatives such as Arsene Wenger’s suggestion of alphabetical placings or Crystal
Left: Van Gaal ponders whether he should ask Ryan Giggs about borrowing his calculator for the rest of the match
Palace’s proposed ranking system based on how much a team sounds like a Disneyland ride. Van Gaal’s experiment is thought to be influenced by the 1968-69 Eredivisie when a Dutch FA, led by a contingent of jazz musicians and free-form poets, awarded the title to Feyenoord for having really beautiful moustaches. Van Gaal has had possibly surprising support
for his view, at least this week, from Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, who said, “I think he’s right - the quality of the goals scored should far outweigh the actual number; for instance Raheem Sterling’s effort was clearly enough to win the game against West Ham on its own, regardless of how many they scored.”
