what does hua hin want for christmas?
Rooms/family suites in heart of Hua Hin a/c, lcd tv, dvd player, fridge, free premium wifi, cable TV www.victorguesthousehuahin.com
hua hin, THAILAND Wherever you are in the world, December is always a special time, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, as it marks the end of another year for the majority of the world. Thailand does not officially celebrate Christmas, although you wouldn’t realise it from a visit to Market Village, but like many countries Christmas has gradually imposed itself here. In that spirit, our front page this week is a letter to Santa Claus, asking for presents that may or may not be delivered for all in the Hua Hin area. In no particular order and to no body in particular, here is AWOL’s Christmas Wish List;
Better planning/implementation/information of road improvements; Run more extensive and later operating local public transport; Install sufficient and affordable city centre parking spaces; New public parks and spaces in the centre of the city;
Generate a ‘Keep Hua Hin Tidy’ campaign, with more public bins; Pedestrianise most of the ‘Binthablock’ area; Erect automatic barriers on all unmanned railway crossings; A boardwalk/promenade running next to the beach; City water for everyone, on demand, all the time; Enforce road rules for all road users, not just cars and trucks. We are sure that there are many other things our readers wish for - why not share them with others on the AWOL Forum? In the meantime we hope everybody has a wonderful time at Christmas - we will be back next week with our last issue of 2014.

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 It’s not true that opening the dictionary to “loser” shows your picture, but for some reason they’re still using it for “anteater,” “caisson,” and “dumbass.” Gemini May 22 – June 21 Sadly, it turns out that of all the people you’ve ever known, the only one who has your best interests at heart is comedian Katt Williams. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 For some reason, all your plans for life boil down to “In the confusion, we get away with both the money and the girl.” Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 We don’t get to choose the person we fall in love with, as is obvious from the human pile of garbage you’ll be following around with roses and candy this week.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 They say if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything, which is good enough for people who aren’t going to have their legs taken off by a road grader this week. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Now that you take a closer look at what’s on display, you can tell exactly why the emperor has no clothes. I mean, Jesus Christ. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You’ll be ruled unfit for trial, but they seem to think you’re just fine for sentencing and execution. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You said you’d retired, but $45 and a free bag of groceries isn’t something a person can just walk away from.

modern christmas cracker jokes UK TV channel Gold ran a poll for people to vote for the top ten modern Christmas cracker jokes, with more than two thousand British adults participating and voting on a shortlist compiled by a panel of judges. The jokes were selected from those submitted by amateur wits and comedians, as they were challenged to write their own jokes to liven up the usual offerings after previous research revealed that most people find cracker gags outdated. Let’s see how they got on... 10. Why is The Great British Bake-Off like the nativity? Because the Star is in the Yeast. 9. I got a Ukip advent calendar. It’s rubbish, all the doors keep slamming shut. 8. Why are snowmen rubbish at cricket? They’re always bowling snow-balls.

What did the snowman say to the aggressive carrot? “Get out of my face.” 3. What do the UK royal family play at Christmas instead of musical chairs? Game Of Thrones. 2. How does Luis Suarez like his Christmas dinner? Bite-sized. 1. What will be missing from Take That’s Christmas stocking this year? An Orange.
7. Why won’t Santa visit Nigel Farage? Because he only comes if you sleep, not if Ukip

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas
why, why, why... We Brits are renowned for moaning about our weather, and now we have new things called ‘weather bombs’ to moan about as well - extreme weather conditions blamed of course on global warming. So on the first anniversary this month of some pretty bad flooding in Hull, it was good to hear an elderly man recall his experiences of that time. Forced to leave his flooded home, he proudly told how he had spent two nights at the Mercure Hotel, followed by three weeks at a Holiday Inn, having a wonderful time over the festive season. His best memory was of having three free Christmas dinners. That is truly what I would call a ‘glass half full’ person, but his situation here was sadly far removed from those tiny tents provided for shelter during Thailands periods of much worse flooding. On a lighter and slightly bizarre note, a new fashion from America is attracting a global following. This is more for the ladies, and concerns liberating your armpit hair by letting it do it’s own thing, i.e. grow, then having it dyed. The dying is of course down to personal choice, as is a little pruning (presumably to control split ends) but followers claim to be empowered by the whole thing. I doubt that the fashion will catch on it Thailand, where women habitually while away the hours by applying tweezers to their underarms. A method which, between you and me, I can personally recommend. It costs

nothing and eventually the little hairy blighters give up altogether. On a more politically correct note - there are calls for a ban on that popular song ‘Delilah’ at Cardiffs’ Millenium Stadium, where it has become the unofficial anthem of Welsh rugby supporters. Support for the ban has also spread to Stoke City football club, and the way things are going it could soon become a bigger issue than the league tables. Critics of the 1968 Tom Jones song say it is demeaning to women, because the lyrics appear to imply that it is OK to kill a woman for being unfaithful. Clearly the critics are unaware of a popular snack for ducks in Thailand. It is not yet known whether any groups of scary women with very hairy, colourful armpits have invaded the Millenium Stadium pitch in support of the proposed ban. Probably only a matter of time. And finally this weeks word. A brand new entry to the Oxford English Dictionary, which does seem to be a little demeaning to the growing minority of men who have been inspired this year by cyclists Bradley Wiggins and Chris Hoye. ‘Mamil’ refers to a middle aged man in Lycra. Enjoy your Christmas and spare a thought for those in colder climes!

Featured Game
Friday 26th December 2014 PREMIER LEAGUE Chelsea v West Ham 19:45 The Boxing Day programme has thrown up this cracker of a London derby, which at press time is 1st versus 4th, something that even the most optimistic Hammers fan wouldn’t have expected when the fixtures were published in the summer. Manchester fans will be hoping that the away side will continue with their impressive form, and it wouldn’t be the first time if they manage to upset the Blues. However, realistically a draw is the most likely outcome in what could be a highly entertaining game, which will probably have a bit of added needle this season, so red cards are a distinct possibility.
