far from worries musical on the beach returns
hua hin, THAILAND A reader asked us last week to report on what was happening at the Queen Sirikit Park area, also known as 19 Rai, by the beach; as it turns out it is an event that began this Wednesday 28th January, and will run until this Sunday 1st February, and is the second staging of “Klai Kangwon the Musical on the Beach”, a story based on historical events and royal stories that are particular to Hua Hin. The musical highlights the introduction of a railway station to the seaside resort - the cast arrive by train at the beginning of the musical and leave by rail at the end. It also talks of the summer retreat Klai Kangwon, meaning far from worry, which was built by King Rama VII and is still in use today by the Royal Family. “The musical reflects the way people lived, their simplicity and moderation, as outlined in His Majesty the King’s sufficiency economy philosophy,” says Soithip Trisuddhi, permanent secretary for transport. “Audience members will be given a postcard with a very rare picture of Their Majesties the King and the Queen.” Traffic measures have been put in place making the area one way, entering at Soi 35 and leaving via Soi 19 as some will already have discovered, and parking spaces for up to 700 cars has been made available. Each performance can seat nearly 1400 people, and there is also an exhibition “The Love of the King for the Happiness of His People”. Entrance is free but seats must be reserved on 090 237 5950 and 090 237 5960 or check www.Facebook.com/KlaiKangwonMusicalontheBeach. The show starts at 7pm every evening, so unless you have seats or are going to look at the exhibition it would be advisable to avoid the area from late afternoon onwards.

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 You’ve been fooling yourself for so long that you’ve lost track of your sense of identity, your joy in life, and which one is actually the real Shroud of Turin. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 If you somehow magically had the chance to do it all over again, you’d do everything in your power to make her happy. You don’t, though, because that’s not the way it works. ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 You’ll feel a strange mixture of pride and terror when NASA announces it will replace the space shuttle with you in launches starting late next year.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Considering how easy it is to get them these days, you’re starting to regret choosing “hugs” over any number of things that rhyme with them. Gemini May 22 – June 21 Your theory that your life eerily echoes the events in Casablanca is disrupted even further by the disparity in people’s emotional involvement with their endings. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Every marriage is like a little nation unto itself, and the failure of yours is a textbook example of how investment in education, the arts, and maybe a puppy are desirable goals for civilization. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 Often it feels as if everything is too hard for you and that anything you try ends in failure, but take heart: Those feelings have to be wrong eventually.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 Sometimes we find amazing things where we least expect them, whether it’s true love, peace of mind, or, in your case, a pack of furious marauding cannibals. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 You have no idea why you’ve been experiencing laughter, tears, a sudden desire for fried chicken, or an impulse to call the law offices of Marvin Falbaum, but it’s probably the TV. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 Decent people everywhere will be shocked and appalled by the treatment you received and the conditions under which you were held, but it’s not like their jobs are any better. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You’ll find yourself curiously unfulfilled, if not a little frightened, when you finally learn the answer to the question of who watches the birdwatchers.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. Sailors would say that to be ‘by the wind’ is to face into This week it is..... By and large On the whole; generally speaking; all things considered. the wind or within six compass points of it. Many phrases are wrongly ascribed a nautical origin just The earliest known reference to ‘by and large’ in print is because they sound like mariners’ lingo. This one really from Samuel Sturmy, in The Mariners Magazine, 1669: is and, like many such nautical phrases, it originated in “Thus you see the ship handled in fair weather and foul, by and learge.” the days of sail. To get a sense of the original meaning of the phrase we To sail ‘by and large’ required the ability to sail not only as need to understand the nautical terms ‘by’ and ‘large’. earlier square-rigged ships could do, that is, downwind, ‘Large’ is easier, so we’ll start there. When the wind but also against the wind. At first sight, and for many is blowing from some compass point behind a ship’s non-sailors also second and third sight too, it seems direction of travel then it is said to be ‘large’. Sailors have impossible that a sailing ship could progress against used this term for centuries; for example, this piece from the wind. They can though. The physics behind this is Richard Hakluyt’s The Principall Navigations, Voiages, better left to others. Suffice it to say that it involves the use of triangular sails, which act like aeroplane wings and Discoveries of the English Nation, 1591: “When the wind came larger we waied anchor and set and provide a force that drags the ship sideways against the wind; by this technique and by careful angling of the saile.” When the wind is in that favourable ‘large’ direction the rudder the ship can make progress towards the wind. largest square sails may be set and the ship is able to The 19th century windjammers like Cutty Sark were travel in whatever downwind direction the captain sees able to maintain progress ‘by and large’ even in bad wind conditions by the use of many such aerodynamic fit. ‘By’ is a rather more difficult concept for landlubbers. triangular sails and large crews of able seamen. In simplified terms it means ‘in the general direction of’.

cow Nicola Sturgeon, the new First Minister of Scotland, is touring Perthshire in the First Minister’s chauffeur driven car. Suddenly a cow jumps out into the road. They hit it full on and the car comes to a stop. Nicola in her usual jaunty manner, says to the chauffeur : “ You get out and check - you were driving.” The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead. “ You were driving, go and tell the farmer,” says Nicola, ”I can’t afford to be blamed for anything.” The chauffeur walks up the drive to the farmhouse and returns hours later totally plastered, his hair ruffled and with a big grin on his face. “ My word, what happened to you ?” asks Nicola. The chauffeur replies : “ When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap up meal and then we finished off the whisky” “ What on earth did you say?” asks Nicola. “ I knocked on the door and when it was answered, I said to them, I’m Nicola Sturgeon’s chauffeur and I’ve just run over the cow.”

Daily, weekly or long term rabbi A Jewish congregation in London honours its Rabbi for 25 years of service by sending him to Hawaii for a week, all expenses paid. When he walks into his hotel room, he finds a beautiful naked woman lying on the bed. She greets the Rabbi with, “Hi, Rabbi, I’m a little something extra that the congregation leader arranged for you.” The Rabbi is incensed. He picks up the phone, calls the leader of the temple and shouts, “Greenblatt, what were you thinking? Where is your respect? I am the moral leader of our religious community! I am very angry with you and you have not heard the end of this.” Hearing this, the naked woman gets up and starts to get dressed. The Rabbi turns to her and asks, “Where are you going? I’m not angry with you....”

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas
last orders, please! Isn’t life strange - Thai authorities blame scam artists for putting off potential tourists to the Land of Smiles. Clearly any reduction in tourism has nothing at all to do with coups, unsolved murders, or a farang being beaten senseless by security guards in Pattaya over a ‘misunderstanding’. Fortunately here in Hull we don’t have any worries about a reduction in tourism. It barely exists in the first place. Like Hua Hin visitors can arrive here by road or rail, but they can also arrive on daily ferry services from Rotterdam and Brugge, which you might think would help to boost the local economy. Except that, on arrival at the ferry terminal, passengers are able to escape the city immediately via direct road links to places like York, Leeds and Manchester. Town planning has never really been our strong point. Dealing with inebriated revellers however soon could be if our version of a Tessabahn gets its way. Piloted over the festive season in Bristol, where they were declared a success, ‘drunk tanks’ could soon become a feature in our city centre. More correctly known as Alcohol Recovery Centres, or Alcohol Treatment Centres, they are large trucks kitted out to care for those too drunk to care for themselves. The idea is to try to ease the burden on already stretched to the limit hospital casualty departments, (which seem to have become a permanent feature now in England) as well as on our police. And it is true that something does need to be done. The introduction of more lenient licensing laws here in 2005 was an attempt to make us more culturally equal to European countries. We would be tempted to sit outside cafe style bars during the summer months, sipping Grolsch and nibbling our pretzels. Making our way quietly home in a civilised manner when we’ve had our fill. And in fact in the right location on a warm summer day that can be very pleasant indeed. But some Brits can have a tendency to over-indulge, as well as an aversion to paying often high bar prices. The result has been an increase in people having a few cheaper supermarket drinks at home before hitting the streets. This has simply become a vicious circle. The supermarkets can sell alcohol 24/7, while those bars which opt to open for longer hours incur extra running costs, which in turn have to be passed on to the very customers who go out ready primed on cheap booze at home, so don’t spend as much in the bars anyway. It remains to be seen whether ‘drunk tanks’ will provide a longer term solution to the problem. I have my doubts. First because they will be privately run and will need to be commercially viable by charging users a fee, and it doesn’t take much imagination to realise that could be
tricky. And second - because we didn’t seem to have so much of a problem pre 2005, when bars in England and Wales could open between 11 am and 11 pm anyway, and supermarket alcohol sales were restricted to the same hours. Coincidentally Thailand is also trying yet again to tackle what is perceived to be problem drinking. This time by re-enforcing old laws on bar opening hours. (Does this ring any bells with expats?) The difference of course is obvious. Unlike Hull, Hua Hin does still have tourists to cater for. Tourists who expect to be able to get a drink during the day time. They have saved up for a much welcome holiday, and have some cash to splash. The very same people who are allegedly being discouraged by Thailands scam artists. The problems are nothing at all to do with the Mom and Pop shops which will still continue to sell dirt cheap Lao Khao are they? Word of the week is ‘dimity’ A hard wearing cotton fabric woven in striped or checked patterns.

Featured Game
Sunday 1st February 2015 PREMIER LEAGUE Chelsea v Man City 00:30 This will probably be billed by the media as the ‘title decider’, and while a win for Chelsea would leave City 8 points adrift, and at least 10 points clear of third place, there have been bigger gaps that have been overhauled in the past. As it stands we think City will raise their game sufficiently here to at least earn a draw, and possibly even a win, especially after Chelsea’s humiliation in the FA Cup proved they are beatable at home.

footballers unable to find girlfriends after page 3 scrapped
england Premiership footballers could be left single and lonely after the Sun Newspaper announced it is to cease publication of its popular ‘Page 3′ dating section. Printed nice and early in the paper so people who struggle to read but possess tremendous ball skills would still have a chance of meeting girls. At its height Page 3″ was responsible for more than 70% of marriages for the 2001 Manchester United squad. “It made meeting girls so easy”, said an unnamed premiership player. “You’d open the newspaper and there’d be a girl there, and then you’d go down to Ritzy’s nightclub
Above: Will men be able to assess a woman by just looking at her face from now on?
in Basildon and say hello and you thought she looked nice. What am I going to do now?” Reports indicate that players’ mums are organising a support group to give classes on “just being yourself” and “using your personality”,
although most admit that many players will struggle. Page Three girls have also expressed dismay at the move, but are already planning to look for boyfriends elsewhere. Donna, 23, who likes kittens and world peace said “I realised I was going to need a new way to meet men with more money than sense who can’t talk to girls, so I’m going to stick a picture with me tits out up on Guardian Soulmates.” “It’s pretty much the same thing anyway, I just won’t get paid for it.” No comment had been received from Everton FC at time of going to press, but industry sources suggest that this is because none of them have girlfriends anyway.
