SEA DUMP
GIANT GARBAGE ISLAND A THREAT TO SEA LIFE AND A PREDICTABLE CONSEQUENCE OF CARELESS LITTERING
••
PRACHUAP KIRI KHAN The discovery and attempted clean up of a huge ‘garbage island’ off the coast of Prachuap Kiri Khan has highlighted a problem that most foreigners have been aware of in Thailand for years, namely the appalling habits of many Thais in dealing with rubbish properly. The floating eyesore is estimated to be around 8,000 square metres in area, with a mass of 100 tonnes, and has been drifting from where it was originally discovered about 12 kilometres offshore from Bang Saphan to an area near Koh Talu, although strong winds and waves have broken some of it away, and some has been deposited along the coastline. A large quantity of the rubbish is said to be plastic, particularly bags, which are particularly dangerous for sea creatures as they can be mistaken for food but cannot be processed in their systems, leaving their stomachs full and the creatures unable to eat leading to their deaths. A clean up operation was put together at the weekend and had begun, but the strong winds firstly hampered and then caused a delay to the efforts by the Marine and Coastal Resources Department, but hopefully the work will have been able to recommence by the time AWOL is published. Experts have been quoted as blaming the huge garbage island on debris from water draining into the sea after the recent floods, and while this may well be the case, the real problem is the amount of litter discarded thoughtlessly on a daily basis by everybody - it is a common site to see all sorts of rubbish thrown out of car windows, tossed carelessly aside by motorcyclists or simply dropped on the pavement by pedestrians. The obsession with plastic bags and the lack of a public education campaign on the dangers and poor aesthetics of littering have also helped lead to the current situation. Will lessons be learned and long term solutions be instigated? Your guess is as good as ours....

Theodore Roosevelt’s presidential address to the American Historical Association in December 1913, included extracts The Wheeling Daily Register, July 1875: from his essay History as Literature. That is the point that he is “LUNATIC Fringe” is the name given to the fashion of cropping widely credited with coining the term ‘lunatic fringe’: the hair and letting the ends hang down over the forehead. There is apt to be a lunatic fringe among the votaries of any The hairstyling terms ‘fringe’, ‘bangs’ and ‘lunatic fringe’ all forward movement. began to be found in print around the 1870s, so it isn’t at all On the face of it there’s little more to be said and ‘lunatic clear how they relate to one another. The essential point though fringe’ need not concern us here - it isn’t even an idiom in the is that ‘lunatic fringe’ was a hairstyle. technical sense, in that it can be understood literally just by Why might a fringe have been labelled ‘lunatic’? It could be knowing what the words ‘lunatic’ and ‘fringe’ mean. However, that people thought the hairstyle to be outlandish and wanted to denigrate it. This wouldn’t be surprising, each generation of there is a little more to add. The first thing to be said is that the expression came into being youth has it own hairstyle as it has its own music - to distinguish with an entirely different meaning to ‘extreme minority group’ itself from the ancient creaky fogies who are twenty years older. Another theory is that it was associated with lunatics and was and that Roosevelt played no part in coining it. In the USA the styling of hair so that it lies square across the thought to resemble hairstyles they adopted. Having done some forehead is called bangs.

Indeed, the examples found show less centuries with the meaning ‘ornamental border’ - it is known evidence of a lunatic fringe than Teddy Roosevelt did. in print since the 1400s. It was co-opted into hairdressing Having come back to Roosevelt we can acknowledge that parlance quite late on. An early example of it comes from The he gave the expression ‘lunatic fringe’ its popular ‘political movement’ meaning, even if it was coined forty years earlier by Alnwick Mercury, January 1873: an unknown hairdresser. For pushing young maidens of twenty-five or forty a cunning fringe of hair on the forehead, in poodle-dog style, is the proper thing.

Alnwick is in Northumberland, England but, as the above piece was headed “Cuttings from American paper”, we may infer that the fashion started in the USA. Cutting one’s hair to resemble a poodle wasn’t universally welcomed and items like these soon began appearing in US newspapers: Oliver’s Optics Magazine, February 1874:

STRANDED A British married couple are sitting together on an airplane flying to the Far East. Over the public address system, the Captain announces: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news. Our engines have ceased functioning, and this plane will be going down momentarily. Luckily, I see an island below us that should be able to accommodate our landing. This island appears to be uncharted; I am unable to find it on our maps. So the odds are that we will never be rescued and will have to live on the island for a very long time, if not for the rest of our lives. ‘ A few minutes later the plane lands safely on the island, whereupon Morris turns to his wife and asks, “Esther, did we pay our TV Licence renewal yet?” “No Morris!” she responded. Morris smiles, then asks, “Esther, did we pay our Council Tax?” “Oh no, I forgot to send the cheque!!” Now Morris laughs. “One last thing, Esther. Did you remember to send our company’s VAT payment this month?” “Oh Morris I forgot that one too!” Now Morris is practically choking with laughter. Esther asks Morris, “So what are you smiling and laughing about? Morris responds, “They’ll find us.”
“Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing but nobody else does.”

KNOCKIN’ ON HEAVENS DOOR A small boy walks into his mothers room and catches her topless. “Mummy, mummy, what are these?” he says, pointing to her breasts. “Well, son,” she says, “these are balloons, and when you die, they inflate and float you up to heaven.” Incredibly, he appears to believe this explanation and goes off quite satisfied. Two days later while his mother is making tea, he rushes into the kitchen. “Mummy, mummy, Aunt Mary is dying!” “What do you mean? “ says his mother. “Well ,she’s in the garden shed, lying on the floor. Both her balloons are out, Dad’s blowing them up, and she keeps yelling ‘God, I’m coming! I’m coming!!!’”

SHIPWRECK A young kid’s in a shipwreck and he winds up stranded on a tropical island. For twenty years he never sees another human being. Then one day a beautiful girl with long blond hair, her clothes half-ripped off, washes up on a piece of driftwood. He explains to her how he existed for twenty years, digging for clams, and eating fruits and berries. She says, “Well, what did you do for love?” He says, “Love? What’s that?” She says, “I’ll show you.” She shows him. Then she shows him again. Then she shows him one more time. When they’re finally done, she says, “Well, how do you like love?” He says, “It’s great. But look what you did to my clam digger.”

THE LAW OF THE LAND Dealing with the law in Thailand, whether you are on the wrong or right side of it, can be a daunting prospect for a foreigner, and not least because of the language barrier. While most laws are broadly similar to most western countries, there are some important procedural differences in both how they are enforced, and should you have to go to court, what happens then. Imagine a scenario where a crime has been committed against you, such as someone has broken into your home and stolen something. In our home countries this would be reported to the police and they would investigate to find clues as to who might have carried out the crime, such as looking for fingerprints. In Thailand, for relatively minor crimes like this, there generally won’t be a similar investigation; your statement will be taken, and you will have documents proving that the crime has been reported, but this really only serves the purpose that you can then make a claim from an insurance company. Many crimes like this remain unsolved, although many do get marked as resolved if a criminal is caught and then confesses to a number of other crimes, often getting ‘rewarded’ for doing so when being sentenced by getting a shorter time in jail for assisting the police. Some crimes require you to carry out investigation for yourself, which you can then present to the public prosecutor. These tend to be more like legal disputes over agreements or contracts, such as might occur when purchasing property. There are no hard and fast rules though, and one of the beauties and frustrations of the Thai legal system is that it appears much more flexible than what we are used to in many cases. Two areas of the law that foreigners may get caught out with are the lese majeste, and slander/libel laws. Lese majeste is the crime of violating majesty, by insulting, defaming, defacing or threatening the Thai Royal Family, and in particular the King. For instance, deliberately (or even accidentally) placing your feet near or on an image of His Majesty, damaging flags or pictures connected to the Royal Family, writing articles that could be deemed critical of the Royal family and many others. Complaints of lese majeste can be filed by anyone, against anyone, and they must always be formally investigated by the police. Even hitting the “like” button on Facebook on a post that is deemed offensive to the king has led to people being charged, so you have been warned. The slander and libel laws are also very severe, with the major difference from much of the rest of the world being that the burden of proof lays with the person accused to prove that what has been said or written is true, and even then can still be found guilty of defamation because it has caused damage to the victim’s reputation and/or exposed them to hatred or contempt. This can lead to up to two years in jail and/or a fine of up to 200,000 baht. Again, you have been warned!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT First this week, a question for our women readers. Would the offer of free vitamins in a pretty red plastic heart shaped box encourage you to have a baby? Or would it have done so at any time during your child bearing years? No, thought not. But the Powers That Be in Thailand think it is worth a try, and will begin to dish out the freebie vitamins to women of a certain age (teens not included of course) from Valentines Day. It’s all to do with a declining birth rate, which seems on course to bottom out very soon and fail to keep up with the rate of deaths. The vitamins are intended to produce healthy mums and healthy babies, which makes you wonder if there is some underlying concern about ante natal care in the first place. Or maybe there is some unidentified economic or societal issue going on. Whatever the cause of the falling birth rate Britain had a similar problem at the end of World War 2, and introduced a financial incentive in the form of Family Allowance as it was known then. As it turned out we probably needn’t have worried, and let nature - and the armed forces returning from war - take their course, because now the resulting baby boomers are blamed for all of Britains’ welfare woes. But back to Thailand. The vitamin idea will certainly be cheaper than cash handouts, but for a quicker fix free roses and MaiTais on the 14th could do the same job. Expect to see supplies of Valentine Vitamins appearing on Ebay soon. Still on the subject of child bearing, midwives in Blackpool have been told to refer to expectant fathers as ‘partners’. This follows one complaint by an expectant lesbian couple, who were offended when the midwife at their antenatal class kept making blanket references to the role of the ‘fella’ during the arrival of the baby. You might have heard about the UK lettuce crisis. Bad weather in Spain has ruined crops of lettuce and other veggies, including courgettes, destined for our shops, and panic buying set in. Strange to imagine panic buying of courgettes I know, especially when so many UK gardeners struggle to get rid of the damn things during the summer. And almost as strange for shoppers to have to face lettuce rationing during our winter. Haven’t people heard of winter salads? As if that weren’t enough to cause chaos in the aisles, the supermarket chain Asda has taken the lead in refrigerating tomato ketchup. Not all of it - customers now have a choice
of buying the red stuff chilled or at room temperature. This decision has come about because some people like to keep their ketchup in the fridge, although Asda doesn’t seem to have noticed that it is winter either, and any purchases will be well chilled by the time customers get them home anyway. Which brings us very vaguely to pizzas, and the Mayor of New York, who recently committed the cardinal sin of eating pizza with a knife and fork. This made him the laughing stock of the Big Apple, where pizza etiquette - like most places in fact - is to treat pizza as finger food. New Yorkers should certainly know what they are talking about, because their city has an estimated 24,000 Pizzerias, and the Mayor, with a name like de Blasio, should know better. Back in Hull a full size replica of the biplane ‘Jason’ has been hoisted into place in the Interchange. The original Jason was flown by Hull born Amy Johnson, when she became the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia, and that first Jason is a fixture in a London museum. So much a fixture that it couldn’t be moved to Hull without serious risk of damage or disintegration, so the model has been constructed by inmates at the local prison. A very good job they have made of it too, and the designer has even said that he is pretty certain the model could actually fly. Fortunately he made that statement only after the plane had left the prison in the usual way - through the front gates. But on a serious note, seeing the Jason replica, with it’s open cockpit, single twin propeller, and tiny size, really does bring the amazing achievement of that Amy Johnson flight to life.
On This Day
No ‘day in history’ this week. Instead a vote of thanks to Thailands’ government for deciding to honour the late King Bhumibol by proclaiming that his birthday - December 5th will continue to be a public holiday. A fitting tribute, and one which will keep him in the hearts and minds of his people forever.

TUESDAY 21ST FEBRUARY 2017 THE FA CUP - FIFTH ROUND Sutton United v Arsenal 02:55 We love the prospect of a Cup upset, and this has all the makings of one - a top four team with an under pressure manager away at a struggling Conference side with nothing to lose. It is highly unlikely but we are predicting the narrowest of home wins after a dominant but much changed Arsenal fail to score due to a combination of bad luck and dogged defence.

NOTHING COMPARES TO BOO LEICESTER FANS JUST CAN’T JEER RANIERI
••
UK LEICESTER City supporters are physically unable to jeer Claudio Ranieri, however bad results get. During Leicester’s 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United, a strange wailing sound echoed around the King Power Stadium as fans unsuccessfully attempted to boo their hero. Roy Hobbs said: “I tried to show my discontent, but my vocal chords wouldn’t allow me. All I could do was emit this strained mewling sound. “The team is in free fall, the players have lost belief, the tactics are all wrong – Ranieri has to go, but dear God I love him more than any other human on Earth. “Even if Ranieri leads us down to the Conference I still won’t be able to boo him any more than I’ll be able to remove my tattoo or tell my son he’s not called Claudio.”
Above: “So boss, you want me to pirouette ending with an arabesque, before leaping into the arms of Robert Huth? OK, whatever you say, after all, you won us the League!” At Leicester’s FA Cup replay against title I have the freedom of Leicester and Derby, fans had planned to unveil a I’m taking that literally. ‘Ranieri Out’ banner, but the supporter “If I choose to disband the club and in charge of painting it could not help replace it with a ballet company the fans putting ‘Ranieri Outstanding’. have no choice but to turn up to Swan Claudio Ranieri said: “After winning the Lake.”
