no fun Victor’s road fatalities and racist attacks mar songkran festivities in hua hin
hua hin, THAILAND As the dust, or perhaps more appropriately, powder, settles on another Songkran festival, the country will be left counting the cost in lives lost and water wasted. While the actual number of deaths and injuries on the roads is yet to be fully known, as we are about to enter the second weekend of traffic chaos with people travelling back to their homes, on average, statistically, the numbers are generally not much greater than any week of the year when set against the number of vehicles on the road, and this year may be lower because of various measures taken, such as prohibiting the sale of alcohol on the main days of the festival. One worrying local incident that reportedly occurred in the early hours of Wednesday 13th April was that gangs of young Thais planned and were attacking foreigners leaving the centre of town, with several people hospitalised as a result. If you were a victim of such an assault, or were witness to any, we advise that you report this to the Tourist or regular Police, as they will be keen to stamp out such behaviour but will require evidence and witnesses to do so. From what we understand the attacks were random but specifically targeting foreigners, regardless of age or behaviour, and as far as we can ascertain there was no motivation other than harming those attacked, and so have to be seen as racist offences. What is more worrying still is that of the attacks we have heard about, the only bystanders who went in to help were other foreigners, who were then also attacked. Amongst all the good natured revelry of Songkran, this is a sad footnote to the Hua Hin fun. We are certain, though, that this is a mindless minority who will be equally condemned by the Thai community, the vast majority having shown a warm welcome and kind hearts to foreigners living and visiting here.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 A little piece of you will die this week, clotting the little fluids it helps to circulate, collapsing the little lungs it helps to expand, and completely shutting down your little nerve center. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However, the exaggerated and drawn-out stutter they say it with indicates otherwise. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You will soon make a comfortable living exploiting other people’s deepseated anxieties and crippling fears. ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 You have a mind like a steel trap, much to the horror of all those poor naked women locked inside.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Never in a million years did you think you’d be diagnosed with splitpersonality disorder, which is surprising, as Frank saw it coming a mile away. Gemini May 22 – June 21 A prizewinning horse should have a thick coat, strong hindquarters, and an elegant gait. Also, it probably shouldn’t talk, suddenly split in two, and run off in opposing directions. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 It’s not enough to just sit there and cry about your problems all night long. Try also kicking your legs a bit to see if that helps. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 Border guards will accuse you of trying to smuggle 10 pounds of prime Chilean beef inside your colon, though the condition they’ll find it in will be less than desirable.

Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 The stars foresee a huge promotion at work this week. Get ready to move up to Senior Person Whom Nobody Takes Seriously or Respects. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You’ll kick back this week with a little bit of Grandpa’s cough medicine, which is too bad, as Grandpa was a radiation oncologist. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Behind every successful man is a woman. However, if they find the basement full of yours, you can kiss your career in politics goodbye.

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..... The road to hell is paved with good intentions The intention to engage in good acts often fails. It points up the principle that there is no merit in good intentions unless they are acted on. The origin of almost all proverbs is shrouded by the mists of time. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of claimants to the authorship of ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions’. The expression is often attributed to the Cistercian abbot Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090 – 1153). This attribution was made by St Francis de Sales in Correspondence: Lettres d’Amitié Spirituelle (written in 1640 and printed in 1980). The de Sales version was ‘l’enfer est plein de bonnes volontés ou désirs’, which translates as ‘hell is full of good intentions and wishes’. The five hundred year gap and the fact that the text isn’t found in the works of St Bernard suggests that we can discount Francis’s account. And... just when you’ve waited five hundred years for one St. Bernard myth, along comes a second. St. Bernard rescue dogs don’t carry casks of brandy around their necks to give drinks to people who are stranded in snowdrifts. That idea comes from a painting by the popular Victorian painter Sir Edwin Landseer. His 1820 painting Alpine Mastiffs Reanimating a Distressed Traveller shows such a scene and the image entered the public consciousness. However, Landseer made it up, it never happened. Back to the proverb. Early English versions don’t refer to the road to hell or suggest that such a road was paved,
but simply state that hell was filled with good intentions. In more recent times there is always a mention of paving. This adaptation may have been influenced by Ecclesiasticus 21:10: The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell. The person who made the ‘paved’ version popular appears to have been James Boswell in The Life of Samuel Johnson LL.D.,1791, who is second favourite after Saint Bernard as the suggested author of this proverb: No saint, however, in the course of his religious warfare, was more sensible of the unhappy failure of pious resolves, than Johnson. He said one day, talking to an acquaintance on this subject, “Sir Hell is paved with good intentions.” Johnson didn’t coin the phrase however. In 1670, the English theologian John Ray published A Collection of English Proverbs, in which he used the version that Johnson later quoted. The ‘road’ element was added even later. The first time that the complete proverb ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions’ appears in print is in Henry G. Bohn’s A Hand-book of Proverbs, 1855. Neither Bohn nor Ray claimed to have coined the phrase, they were collectors, not originators. As to who did coin the phrase. the intention was to discover that and to let you know but, regrettably, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

golf cart Many years ago during my married days, I accidentally overturned my golf cart. Elizabeth, a very attractive and keen golfer, who lived in a villa on the golf course, heard the noise and called out: “Are you okay? What’s your name?” “It’s John, and I’m okay, thanks,” I replied as I pulled myself out of the twisted cart. “John,” she said, (firm loose breasts undulating beneath her white silky robe) “forget your troubles. Come to my villa, rest a while and I’ll help you get the cart up later.” “That’s mighty nice of you,” I answered, “but I don’t think my wife would like it.” “Oh, come on now,” Elizabeth insisted. She was so very pretty, very very sexy and very persuasive ... I was weak. “Well okay,” I finally agreed but thought to myself, “my wife won’t like it.” After a couple of restorative Scotch and waters, I thanked Elizabeth. “I feel a lot better now, but I know my wife is going to be really upset. So I’d best go now.” “Don’t be silly!” Elizabeth said with a smile, letting her robe fall open slightly. “She won’t know anything. By the way, where is she?” “Still under the cart, I guess.” Mcdonalds I like going into McDonald’s and ordering an Egg McMuffin and a McChicken Sandwich, just to see which one comes first. up Who’s seen the movie “Up”?

detective My girlfriend said, “You act like a detective all the time. I want to split up.” “Good idea,” I replied. “We can cover more ground that way.” truism Life... It’s just an f in lie. superpower I was watching the New Avengers Assemble movie when my wife asked, “What superpower would you have if you could have any?” “Invisibility,” I replied. “I’m intrigued,” she went on. “What would you do if you were invisible?” “Sit here and watch the TV in peace,” I replied. driving test My girlfriend had just passed her driving test so she drove me to town. It was packed but we managed to find a space but she was nervous about doing a parallel park. “I’m confident in you babe just do what you did in the test” I said So she slowly started unbuttoning my flies.
The moral is that you can’t have a real adventure until your wife dies. 10

and back Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas our glorious leaders As your Songkran comes to a happy and hopefully safe end you might be thanking Buddha that it’s all over again for another year. It is one of those things that can be good while it lasts, but good to dry out as well. Even though you really shouldn’t have been using too much water this year..... and pigs will fly! Meanwhile the UK has been getting more than it’s fair share of April showers, with even more storm clouds gathering over Number 10 than usual. Whatever you think of David Cameron, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby certainly taught him a lesson in public relations last week. Cameron, after days of prevaricating and hoping the issue would go away, was forced to own up to his history of offshore investments. To be fair he held his hands up, accepted blame, and admitted that he had learned his lessons, and to be ultra fair he doesn’t seem to have broken any parliamentary rules. In fact he has no doubt unwittingly set an example to future Prime Ministers. But Justin Welby has upstaged him. For anyone who has missed it, our Archbishop of Canterbury undertook DNA testing which showed that his real father wasn’t the one who had brought him up, and who was married to his mum. Which makes our supreme Anglican church leader illegitimate. A few years ago that would have been quite scandalous, and kept quiet at all costs. But the Archbishop seems to have taken it in his stride and chose to make the discovery public. Like the Prime Ministers investments, an old indiscretion on the part of the Archbishops’ mother didn’t have to be disclosed. But the question we are left with is inevitable. Which of these men would you rather trust? And now ladies, would you trust a man who uses moisturiser? In fact it’s an increasing trend, along with

waxing and threading. Like us women, men are falling for all that advertising and advice on beauty treatments. Let’s face it, we are all suckers for it aren’t we? And to be fair skin products do seem to be improving ever since Boot’s raised the bar with their Protect and Perfect range, plus you can’t really knock a man for trying can you? Some products though just don’t deliver. It’s like all those things you never knew you needed - the chocolate fountain, spiraliser, and fondue set (amazingly still being sold by Lakeland if you missed out the first time round.) Stuff which ends up at the back of a cupboard and forgotten. At least with new beauty products they can usually be used up with little harm done, never to be bought again. Like my now empty tube of Oral B super whitening toothpaste. Guaranteed to make a visible difference in 2 weeks, and 4 weeks later in the bin. But one new gadget really has to take the prize in the category ‘potentially useless’. It is the nail polish holder. A holder on a ring affair which you put on your finger and place the nail polish bottle into. This leaves the other hand free to apply your colour, with no indication of how to change the thing over to the other hand to complete the job. April 15th 1738 however saw the invention of something we still all need - the bottle opener. And finally, a thought for the day. Some days the supply of swear words is insufficient to meet my demands.

Barcelona season ticket holder Sergio Williams told us, “We’ve been to London, we’ve done Munich, I’ve been to Milan more times than I can count – but I’ve never been Leicester. I hear it’s beautiful in the autumn? “With a bit of luck we’ll get them in the group phase and we can spend a warm and balmy
