rainmaking to continue into november hua hin, THAILAND The acting chief of the Royal Rain-making and Agricultural Aviation Department, Mr Lersak Riewtrakulpaibul, announced this week that the department had decided to adjust its rain-making plan by extending the operations beyond the October 15 deadline until November or until it is not possible to seed clouds.

Rain-making units are currently based in Chiang Mai, Tak, Phitsanuloke, Nakhon Sawan, Kanchanaburi, Nakhon Ratchasima, Udon Thani, Rayong and Prachuab Khiri Khan. Mr Lersak said that more rain-making flights will be conducted and expanded so that there would be rain covering widespread areas, especially above dams and reservoirs. However, he said that areas already affected by flood would be spared the rain-making operations.

While there has been a considerable amount of rain in the Hua Hin area in recent weeks, it seems likely that the rainmaking efforts will bring more, and particularly around the Pranburi reservoir that provides most of the town’s water supplies, as in common with most dams and reservoirs in Thailand, it is not full - latest figures from the department state that Pranburi is only at 31% of it’s capacity, while the next nearest source at Kang Krachan is at 48% of it’s capacity. With a dry season that normally stretches from December through to April, these levels would not be sufficient for either household or agricultural/business use during that period.

The north and north east of Thailand is equally low on water reserves, with very few registering above 40% capacity, although these areas normally receive much greater natural rainfall than is expected in the Hua Hin and surrounding areas.

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..... By hook or by crook By whatever means necessary - be they fair or foul.

‘Hook’ is a word with many meanings and as a consequence it appears in numerous English phases - ‘get one’s hooks into’, ‘hook, line and sinker’, ‘on/off the hook’, ‘sling your hook’ and, most notably, ‘by hook or by crook’. That last phrase is one of the holy grails of etymology; many people are sure they know the derivation but, in truth, the origin is rather obscure. We can be sure that it is a very old phrase and that it was in general use by the late 14th century.

There may be examples of a form of the expression in the writings of John Wyclif from around 1380, but scholars aren’t sure of their date. The first substantiated citation is from John Gower’s Confessio Amantis, 1390. : What with hepe and what with croke they [false Witness and Perjury] make her maister ofte winne.

[Hepe was the mediaeval name for a curved billhook] Gower didn’t use the modern ‘by hook or by crook’ version of the phrase, but it is clear that he was using the reference to hooks and crooks in the same sense that we do now.

The earliest example of the modern usage of the phrase that can be found is in Philip Stubbes’ The Anatomie of Abuses, 1583: Either by hooke or crooke, by night or day.

recorded in the 1820s by the English rural campaigner William Cobbett, although the custom itself long predates that reference.

Another commonly repeated suggestion is that the phrase comes from the names of the villages of Hook Head and the nearby Crooke, in Waterford, Ireland. Hook Head and Crooke are on opposite sides of the Waterford channel and Cromwell (born 1599, died 1658) is reputed to have said that Waterford would fall ‘by Hook or by Crooke’, that is, by a landing of his army at one of those two places during the siege of the town in 1649/50.

A third suggestion is that the phrase derives from the career of Sir George Croke, a celebrated English judge.

Croke (or Crook) was on the bench in the reign of Charles I (born 1600, died 1649) and became popular for his refusal to accept the legality of a ‘Ship Money’ tax imposed by Charles without the consent of Parliament.

It was commonly said that ship money “may be gotten

by Hook [that is, by force], but not by Crook”.

It’s worth saying at this point that suggestions two and three look dubious. Both have clear links to ‘by hook or by crook’ but refer to events that are later in date than the phrase’s first uses in print. There are other suggested theories too and, although ‘wood gathering using hooks and crooks’ isn’t a provable derivation, it has to be a strong favourite.

Is there an English phrase or saying that you would like to know more about?

Email it to us on submissions@awolonline.net

As the origin of the phrase is uncertain, here are the most commonly suggested theories for you to mull over: Suggestion number one is that ‘by hook or by crook’ derives from the custom in mediaeval England of allowing peasants to take from royal forests whatever deadwood they could pull down with a shepherd’s crook or cut with a reaper’s billhook. This feudal custom was

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 Your good friends will help remind you of what’s really important in life, especially those to whom you owe all that money.

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 Try not to take next week’s failings too personally. The stars are sure that nine times out of 10 you totally would have beaten leukemia.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 Some things only become funny when you look back on them years later.

Conversely, the events of next week will seem funny at the time, but as the years go by, society will gain sensitivity and learn to outgrow that sort of thing.

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Once again not much is going to happen to you, but really, we appreciate that you took the time to check.

Gemini May 22 – June 21 While it’s true that the girl who lives down the hall is really attracted to you, on reflection perhaps the word “female” is more accurate after her needle-sharp ovipositor pierces your cornea and the first of thousands of eggs slowly slides in.

Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 There’s almost certainly more to life than lying around watching old episodes of Friends all day, but hey, it’s enough.

Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 There’s just something about you that says “sexual deviant.” It’s your own voice, and frankly, it is seriously overestimating how interesting you are.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 Your effort to lighten the mood with some amusing anecdotes will only result in people getting angrier and angrier as the life raft slowly fills with water.

Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 Your generosity will pay off this week when your gift of 1000 baht in cash inspires the recipient to have sex with you.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 Your radical theory about a mysterious group of cleaners who appear at night to tidy up your office is strikingly close to the truth, but don’t worry: You’re in no danger.

Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Stop worrying so much about what your family thinks about you. After all, if there really is life after death, you can assume they’re pretty angry about the fire you started at the reunion.

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas

don’t go there!

A German scientist has developed a gadget which could revolutionise the way we find our way around.

By combining the functions of GPS, a mobile app, and the TENS machine, people can literally have nerves in their legs tweaked to make them change direction. Just programme in your route or destination and off you go.

Imagine the possibilities! No more tour guides needed for a start. There is bound to be an audio facility to provide running commentaries, telling you when to look up at that Florentine ceiling, or down into that gorge once you have been manoeuvred into position.

No more A to Z’s, or looking for a friendly policeman, and no more trying to make sense of Bangkok maps!

There are of course potentially sensible uses too, such as steering home dementia sufferers and those with mental health problems who tend to get lost. (There have been times when I worked in residential care when that would have been a blessing to all concerned, including the search helicopter and dog teams deployed one time in Great Yarmouth when we misplaced a resident.)

And just imagine the difference the gadgets could make to weekends in Hua Hin Night Market. Tourists could programme themselves to walk in an orderly fashion while maintaining awareness of other market browsers. No one would ever again step off a sidewalk before looking four ways. They could even arrange to deliberately avoid tailors shops.

Then of course software could be developed which would enable bar owners to hack in and direct tourists through their doors without passing go.

One possible downside once that hacking stage is reached - your better half learns how to programme you to avoid Patpong. But nothing’s perfect.

October 9th was a very busy day in history, so narrowing events on this date down to just four hasn’t been easy.

First is an event most relevant to your area, because on October 9th 1945 Japanese forces on the Andaman Islands were forced to surrender to British troops.

Five years earlier John Lennon was born, so expect to hear a lot of his songs today, on what would have been his 75th birthday.

Lennon kindly shared his arrival in Liverpool with the bombing of St Pauls Cathedral by the Lufftwafer.

Leaping back to 1562 an anatomist called Gabriel Fallopius died, after having discovered and given his name to - you guessed it

- the fallopian tube. It goes without saying that Gabriel must have had access to a lot of quite fresh cadavers, together with the need to discover how they worked.

The puzzling thing is how he realised that this piece of female plumbing was important enough to bear his name, presumably without the magnification needed to identify the purpose of ovaries back then, as microscopes weren’t invented until the 1590’s.

And finally - you can rest assured that Hull is bound to suffer bad weather as well this coming week. It is a long standing tradition for the rains to arrive for Hull Fair week, which begins today, the 9th. More on the history of the fair next week.

Brendan Rodgers and Stuart Lancaster to open singles bar together england

The disgraced former coach of Liverpool FC and the disgraced soon-to-be former coach of the England rugby team are going into business.

The two men will soon be opening of the doors of “Try ‘n’ Score”, a singles bar for desperate humans with nothing to lose.

“It’s a new direction for us” admitted Lancaster, “but what we lack in experience, we more than make up for in karma owing us a bit of luck at some point.”

“We’re fairly confident that that will see us through.”

Brendan Rodgers said “it’s either this or commentary, and I don’t like what that’s done to Gary Neville’s face. I’m sure it wasn’t always that bad.”

“We’ll be starting with “Blokes’ Night”, where all the fellas get in for half-price, and we’re

going to play nothing but Whitesnake.”

“And we’re going to have really horrifying fellas on the door, just to give it that welcoming atmosphere.”

“We are going to use all our contacts to ensure that we have a heavy celebrity presence most nights, although so far we have only had a positive response from Orville The Duck, but we are certain that we will soon have the likes of Wayne Rooney and John Terry here looking for a bit of skirt.”

“It’s proof that we can run a nightclub every bit as well as we can run a sports’ team.”

Above: Brendan Rodgers has undergone a Lionel Richie makeover for the planned ‘70’s night at ‘Try ‘n’ Score’, while Stuart Lancaster has apparently opted for a classic Saturday Night Fever white suit look
