awol watches seven years of change
hua hin, THAILAND This week’s issue of AWOL marks the start of our eighth year of operation, with our 350th issue looming on the horizon. The changes in Hua Hin and the surrounding areas since we began with our first issue (published on 3rd October 2008) are remarkable, and the next twelve months will see more dramatic changes as the huge Bluport shopping mall is due to open, while it appears we may also see the final demise of the pier restaurants and other outlets on the sea side of that stretch of Naresdamri Road. In addition it seems likely that the ‘road to nowhere’ (the Canal Road widening that we reported on in issue 165 in January 2012) may finally have it’s Petchaburi section finished and linked to the main highway from Bangkok, alleviating some of the traffic problems that Hua Hin experiences, while it is also likely that the east-west roads linking to the bypass will also be completed, along with a number of other roadworks underway at present.It will also be interesting to observe what happens with the new pedestrian/bike path that has been partially completed alongside the canal - will it serve it’s intended users or become a super highway for motorbikes? While many things have changed, some things remain the same, most notably the key supplies of electricity, water and, to a lesser extent, telephony and internet services, which have all continued to be insufficient to cope with demand on many occasions. If AWOL could have one thing for our birthday it would be that the water infrastructure was sorted out once and for all, and that all developments - commercial, housing and industrial - have to make significant contributions to achieve both a better and fairer distribution of available water, and more resources to both collect and conserve water.

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..... My bad My mistake - I’m to blame. This slang term originated in about 1970. At that time, that is, pre the widespread use of the Internet, slang terms often circulated at street level for many years before being adopted by anyone who felt inclined to write them down. That’s clearly not the case any longer of course and any word or phrase that is widely known is dateable quite precisely via website logs. The first citation in print is C. Wielgus and A. Wolff’s, ‘Back-in-your-face Guide to Pick-up Basketball’, 1986: “My bad, an expression of contrition uttered after making a bad pass or missing an opponent.” Shakespeare used the term with something like the current meaning, in his Sonnet 112:
Although a street term, it is virtually synonymous with the earlier Latin phrase, ‘mea culpa’. It doubtless has as little of a direct descent from this as it does from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 112. ‘My bad’ has gained that unequivocal accolade - imitation. In REM’s 2004 song ‘Leaving New York’ there is this verse, which as you see includes ‘my proud’: You might have laughed if I told you You might have hidden a frown You might have succeeded in changing me I might have been turned around It’s easier to leave than to be left behind Leaving was never my proud Leaving New York, never easy I saw the light fading out The Doonesbury cartoon strip for 14th June 2006 included this:
Your love and pity doth the impression fill Which vulgar scandal stamp’d upon my brow; For what care I who calls me well or ill, So you o’er-green my bad, my good allow?
“Okay, I’m bitter that I have to support myself! There I said it! My brave.”
That’s clearly just coincidence, and it’s hardly surprising that such a fragmentary phrase would appear in a large body of work like Shakespeare’s. It’s also a world away from pick-up basketball, which is an informal street sport where players frequently call out to each other (trash talking), and is a well-known source of street lang. ’My bad’ came into widespread popular use in the mid to late-1990s in the USA via the 1995 movie “Clueless”. This starred Alicia Silverstone and contains what seems to have been the first use of the phrase in the mainstream media. The 1994 ‘Green revision pages’ for the movie script has a scene with Alicia Silverstone’s character learning to drive: “Cher swerves - to avoid killing a person on a bicycle. Cher: Whoops, my bad.”

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 You’re not the kind of person who is afraid of a little hard work, which in today’s corporate world means you’re pretty much screwed. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 When you said in a fit of despair that “everyone hates” you, you forgot about Tammy. If anything, she likes you a little too much for comfort. ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 You’ve tried everything you can think of to stop yourself from gaining weight. Unfortunately, you have your best ideas while eating entire coconut-cream pies.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Despite your efforts to be a modern-day hero, you will slowly develop into a postmodern-era Internet meme. Gemini May 22 – June 21 You’ve delivered babies, made passionate love, and built up your own business, but you’ll finally encounter a problem you can’t solve with your fists. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Jupiter has entered your sign, which is usually great, but this time he’ll stay for at least a week longer than is comfortable, use up all your clean towels and toilet paper, and never offer to pay for a damn thing. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 Leos are known for their forgiving and compassionate nature, which is probably why you keep getting screwed with your pants on.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 Although you’ve tried to be a decent person, that will eventually wind up making everything that much funnier to observers. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You will learn through bitter experience why there’s no Book Of Doug in the Bible.

Wink with AWOL 081 649 8361 The Boonthavorn Way
Boon Tha Vorn – [pronounced – Boon-Ta-Wan] The Thai meaning – “If you give good things in your life, good things will come to you forever.” Boonthavorn was established in 1987 in Nonthaburi as the Boonthavorn Ceramics Co., Ltd. By Mr. Wiwat Tayanuwat, founder and chairman of Boonthavorn Group. Mr. Tayanuwat grew his father’s modest hardware store business after he graduated from Chulalongkorn University with a degree in Engineering. He then opened a tent vendor business; selling tile laid out in boxes on the ground. He opened a showroom soon after and began selling other home building and home decorating supplies along with tile. In 28 years the company has grown into 10 stores, a thriving warehouse, logistic and supply chain Distribution Company as well as one of the leading companies in Thailand to initiate an environment friendly, ‘Green Life’ policy. The Hua Hin Boonthavorn Showroom and Mart opened in in November 2011. In keeping with their ‘Green Life’ policy, the company supplies 95% of its power to all of their showroom stores with solar panels located on the roof, treats their own non-septic water, uses all environmentally friendly materials and cultivates a generous sized botanic garden at each location. The Hua Hin location has a beautiful garden and restaurant situated on 5 rai along the back lot of the property. There is also a wonderful display in the back of the atrium that tells the story of ‘Green Life’ as well as a small museum commemorating the Thai Kings that helped develop Hua Hin. The Hua Hin Showroom and Mart has just created a new team of English speaking Sales Associates who will be situated in the Customer Service Department and also throughout the store during all business hours. Customers will be greeted in Thai as well as English and may request one of the English-speaking team members to assist them for all of their buying needs. Boonthavorn Hua Hin will also be providing all print material related to store’s sales, promotions and marketing initiatives in both English and Thai. There are many good things coming, designed to enhance the shopping experience of both the English-speaking and Thai customers. This is in keeping with Boonthavorn’s commitment to total customer satisfaction…for all customers. The Hua Hin showroom and mart is located on Phetkasem Road, 5 km north from the Royal Palace on the west side of the road and right at the Hua Hin King’s Golden Gateway. 4/48 Soi Moo Ban Banbofai, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Province 77110

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas
pesky pensions Two weeks ago we looked at issues surrounding changes to the UK State Pension system, and further information is now available on how it will all work. As expected, it isn’t simple, so if you need to ask about or clarify anything please raise further questions on the AWOL forum. And remember that the changes apply only to people who are due to reach UK state pension age on or after April 6th next year. There are two main changes coming in. First is the abolition of ‘contracting out’ with effect from April 6th next year. Second is the way pension entitlement will be calculated as a result of that change. And of course while they are at it the new ‘basic state pension’ will be introduced at the same time. The exact amount of the new basic state pension is yet to be announced, but it is expected to be set at around £155 per week. So for the time being we will use that figure. However individual circumstances will still affect how much people will actually receive, and some will still not get the supposed ‘basic’. Those of you who are already ‘contracted out’ of SERPS - the state earnings related pension scheme, will understand what it means. Those who aren’t needn’t worry about that bit. But either way the change will mean that in future there will have to be a three part calculation of your final pension entitlement. First is the ‘before’ part - based on the current system, which totals your basic pension, plus the SERPS and second state pension, and where applicable the pre 1975 graduated pension. These four elements give what will be called your ‘current scheme valuation’. Next is the ‘after’ part. This will be your weekly pension entitlement you would have earned up to next April 6th if the new rules had applied during the whole of your working life. This will give the’new scheme valuation.’ Both of these resulting calculations will be subject to a reduction based on how many years - if any - you have been contracted out, and the higher of the two results will become your ‘starting amount’ of pension entitlement. This will continue to be enhanced for as long as you continue to work after next April up to your official retirement age, OR until you have paid National Insurance contributions for 35 years - whichever is the sooner. Those who continue to be in a pension scheme originally classed as ‘contracted out’ will of course see their National Insurance contributions increase, along with those of their employer. Other proposed changes on the way in which annual pension increases will be calculated under the new system remain unclear, but is likely to use two different price indexes. Private sector employers will be given the power, for up to five years, to change the rules of their pension
schemes without the consent of the scheme’s trustees. The NI contributions of a spouse will no longer be taken into account for the purpose of supplementing a pension. Everyone will build up their own individual pension entitlement. Which is all more than enough to exercise the brain cells for now! On a lighter note, be thankful you don’t work for ASOS. Like Amazon, ASOS is an online retailer, and like Amazon it’s employees have to achieve a certain level of ‘pick rate’ every shift. That is the amount of orders they collect up by whizzing around from one stack of goods to another. Unfortunately for workers at the Barnsley depot their pick rate doesn’t allow them enough time to get to the toilet and back when the need arises. so they are having to urinate in the water stations. Their union is now on the case - as no doubt is the local ‘elf and safety officer. I’m left wondering if ASOS employs any women..... October 2nd 1957 saw the release of the David Lean film The Bridge on the River Kwai, and those who remember seeing it back then will also remember believing every word of it. The film went on to be voted best picture in 1958.

Sunday 4th October 2015 PREMIER LEAGUE Everton v Liverpool 19:30 Despite the win against Aston Villa last weekend, the pressure is still on Brendan Rodgers and his expensively assembled team, and the Merseyside derby becomes all the more intriguing because of it. Everton are probably doing better than most expected but a Liverpool win would see them leapfrog their blue cousins, whereas a home win could see the Toffees as high as third depending on other results. We suspect though that as with many derbies, this will end up as a draw, which in fairness would be a decent result for Liverpool, and not a disaster for Everton, with another international break coming up. fixtures

toffs and boyos Rugby game proves sweeping national stereotypes england
THE English are arrogant fops and the Welsh are brave, stocky underdogs, it has been confirmed. Although rugby is impossible to fully understand, spectators at Saturday’s World Cup match recalled seeing the England team carried onto the pitch in sedan chairs, wearing top hats. 25-year-old Australian Tom Booker said: “From the way they were dressed in safari suits and sipping cocktails, the English reeked of imperialist aloofness. “The Welsh on the other hand looked like men of steel, forged in the furnace of oppression and burning with vengeful feelings against the foe that had gravely wronged them throughout history.” The English delayed kick off while they finished smoking and telling each other
Left: Part of the England team’s preparation for the game against Wales was a Duran Duran lookalike competition
hunting anecdotes in loud posh voices, because that is how arrogant they are. Booker said: “Being English, they were more arrogant than a cockerel in gold trousers. But they took an early lead because they have longer limbs due to superior nutrition. “However at half time England were cockily drinking Pimm’s with their coach Stephen
Fry, while the brave Welsh huddling in their meagre underground changing room to eat nutritious leeks and sing rousing choir songs. “Then they gave England the pasting they so richly deserved, and the Welsh rugby captain got to marry Charlotte Church and become their king.”
