giant kings

seven huge statues now in position hua hin, THAILAND Last weekend the final giant statues of seven great Thai Kings were put into position at Ratchapakdi Park, south of Hua Hin, opposite and slightly before reaching the Suan Son Pradipat Beach area. The enormous erections measure almost 14 metres high and six metres wide, and have been placed on a large plinth above what will become a museum and an exhibition centre to display the profiles and contributions of all former monarchs.

The last statue to be erected, on Sunday, was the bronze statue of King Chulalongkorn (right), after transport from a casting factory in Bangkok, and the other monarchs featured are King Ramkhamhaeng the Great, King Naresuan the Great, King Narai the Great, King Taksin the Great, King Buddha Yodfa Chulalok the Great, and King Mongkut. Now they have been installed, artists from the six casting factories in Nakhon Pathom, Lop Buri, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani and Bangkok, where they were made, will decorate them ready for a religious ceremony chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha which will be held on 19th August, ahead of the park’s yet to be announced opening date.

The park is located on a 222 rai (355,200 square metres) area and is costing a total of 700 million baht to build, with the intention of being a centre for civic occasions, a place to learn about Thailand’s history as well as being a tourist attraction. A 91-rai area is designated for important ceremonies, incorporating the museum and exhibition centre under the kings’ statues.

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..... Mother country One’s native land, or the native land of one’s ancestors.

The most common use of this expression in English derives from the early European settlers to the USA. Two prominent figures of the Pilgrim Father settlers were John Robinson and William Brewster. While in Holland, and planning the emigration to America on the Mayflower, they wrote to Sir Edwyn Sandys in 1617: “We are well weaned from ye delicate milke of our mother countrie, and enured to ye difficulties of a strange and hard land, which yet in a great parte we have by patience overcome.”

In his style of naming his children, Brewster followed, and given the early date we might better say pioneered, the Pilgrim tradition of choosing names in accordance with biblical themes. His first child was called Jonathan, but he soon got into his stride with Patience, Fear, Love and finally, Wrestling.

The ‘mother country’ to Brewster and Robinson was, of course, England and that was generally what was meant when the phrase came into use in the USA. They didn’t coin the phrase themselves but probably read it

in the works of a prominent Puritan of the day - Arthur Golding. Brewster in particular was well read and owned a library of some 400 books in Latin and English and was sure to have read Golding’s well-known translation of Ovid’s Metamorphosis, 1567: “They went too Phebus Oracle, which willed them too go Untoo theyr moother countrey and the coastes theyr stocke came fro.”

In Ovid’s Latin original the phrase appears as ‘antiquam matrem’.

It is perhaps an indication of the way of thinking of the Pilgrim Fathers that they chose to adopt the term ‘mother country’, as opposed to ‘fatherland’, which was used by others in the 17th century to denote the country of one’s heritage.

The phrase was coined before America was settled by English speakers and popularised by two Englishmen living at the time in Holland. Nevertheless, ‘mother country’ can be said to be the first English phrase to have a strong American association - some might say, the first American phrase.

pub fight I visited a mate in hospital who’d been viciously beaten up in the pub a few nights earlier.

“What happened?” I asked.

“It was just after you left,” he explained. “Someone told that group of rugby players that I’d been calling them limp-wristed poofters and they all piled into me.”

“No! Why would someone tell them that?” I said, shaking my head.

“Beats me,” he replied. “Anyway, thanks for coming to visit. I was worried you might be still be mad at me for chatting up that girl you’d spent all evening trying to get off with.”

hoovering I was vacuuming the other day when I tripped on the cord and landed on the nozzle, which violently entered my anus.

I was highly embarrassed and spent half an hour in the hospital waiting room desperately trying to convince everyone that I had actually been sexually pleasuring myself with the hoover and that my wife does all the cleaning.

“Oh no, sir, we don’t sell them in the States - they are a health hazard!”

Do you like to cook?

Is cooking your hobby? Is cooking a passion?

Come and join us in our new Hua Hin Hobby Cooking Members group

The cooking sessions are once a month. Each member has a chance to host the group in their home and make dinner for them. There are no guidelines as far as what to cook, as long as the meal is homemade and they provide the recipes. Costs are shared and each member brings their own drinks.

My idea was to regularly gather people who have the same passion; cooking. As there are many nationalities it will be exciting to discover new food cultures and to share recipes. A cooking group is also a social event; cooking together is fun and is an opportunity to make new friends.

You do not need to be a chef in order to join the group.

Whatever your level of cooking is, most important is that you like cooking, are open to new ideas and are prepared to participate regularly at the members’ cooking sessions.

If you are interested in receiving more information you can email me at sikkens2011@gmail.com Robert

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas

a black and white issue Rarely, if ever, have I been known to side with our leader David Cameron. OK let’s make that a ‘never’, then you can say that you heard it first in AWOL. So what, you may ask, brought about this staggering (if very temporary) U turn? It was simply his use of the word ‘swarm’. Or rather the outrage caused by that usage, which was deemed by many to be derogatory.

According to the Oxford English dictionary, a swarm refers to a large group of insects flying closely together, with its’ origins in groups of bees leaving the hive with a queen bee in order to establish a new colony. However the word can also quite legitimately be used to describe a large group of people, or a place overrun with people, as in ‘the place was swarming with police’.

An innocent enough term to use when describing recent migrant activity around the Channel Tunnel, unless of course you happen to be a Prime Minister.

The incident only served to highlight an ever increasing trend for people to react to anything remotely anti politically correct with howls of derision. Howls which are made all the more easy to spread thanks to the use of social media. Along with Camerons’ ‘swarm’ faux pas came a similar reaction against the use of the word ‘jungle’ to describe the migrant camp near Calais. A word used by the migrants themselves to describe their makeshift home, but taken by some as a racist slur.

If that weren’t enough Englands’ already overworked police force were obliged to search for three people who had dressed as golliwogs for a charity parade. Why? Because golliwogs are racist. It is fine for people to dress up in red and white costumes, disguise their faces with cotton wool beards, and sit children on their knees in grottos. But totally wrong for others to collect money for charity while dressed as golliwogs.

Thailand hasn’t been faring much better either. A chart, pictured right, designed to help schoolchildren learn English used an image of a dark skinned man to illustrate the use of the word ‘ugly’, while his ‘handsome’

counterpart was portrayed as a cute cartoon like white faced lad with big dark eyes and trendy hair. This of course also sparked outrage, and even though there was no denying that the dark skinned man was definitely ugly, surely right minded people realise that many dark skinned men can be handsome just as white skinned people can be downright ugly? It’s just that you clearly have to be very careful to put them in the politically correct tonal order. Perhaps the creator of the images on the chart simply made that typically Thai mistake of seeing white skin as more desirable, without thinking the PC side of it through. As for the three golliwogs, there have been no reported sightings.

Word of the week is ‘vicinity’. Easy enough you might think. Vicinity is simply defined as ‘the area near or surrounding a place’, which actually is a bit vague.

Certainly too vague for authorities in Bangkok who are seeking to ban sales of alcohol in the vicinity of universities and schools. Get it wrong and heaven forbid, the whole of Bangkok could easily end up being an alcohol free zone! So the authorities have announced that they will need 6 months to decide what ‘vicinity’ means. I just hope that in this case there has been one of those frequent breakdowns in translation, and that the authorities will in fact be taking 6 months to define their own interpretation of what vicinity means, in the context of what they are trying to do. Come to think of it a decent Bangkok map might also help.

Sunday 16th August 2015 PREMIER LEAGUE Man City v Chelsea 22:00 The first ‘Big 4’ clash and it is going to be interesting after the first week’s results. City got into their stride quickly, while Chelsea clearly miss Costa, and a lot will depend on his fitness. We normally sit on the fence for these games but we think the home side really want to get an earlyblow in, so a home win.

kneejerk reaction Fans extrapolate whole season from first game

england PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL fans have decided exactly how everything in their lives will develop over the next nine months.

Entire narratives, life-changing events and even romantic liaisons have all been assumed from the first 90 minutes of football played so far.

Footballologist Wayne Hayes said: “Based on yesterday’s game Stoke fans will assume life will be dreary, uneventful with occasional moments of breathtaking unfairness which, living in Stoke, seems likely.

“But Liverpool fans, based on the same game, will see themselves mooching around not doing very much before stealing something with a few minutes to spare. Which, well… yes.”

Hayes added: “Like a butterfly beating its

wings and causing a typhoon halfway round the world, some overpaid arsehole missing a sitter might mean an absolutely rubbish January.”

As it stands Manchester City will win the title and Norwich, Arsenal and West Brom will be relegated, which is surprisingly close to what many pundits predicted, apart from the obvious anomaly of the well respected team from the Midlands.

The carefully crafted personal storylines will be discarded and rewritten following next weekend’s matches, to be replaced with a whole new set of fears, catastrophes and, in the case of Sunderland fans, screaming constantly into a pillow.
