rethink on law banning passengers in rear of pickups

•The• fierce criticism that followed the government’s request to the Royal Thai Police to enforce the 1979 thailand

Land Traffic Act regulation banning passengers in the rear of pickup trucks has led to a rethink, as the government admitted that it caused too many problems both in enforcement and inconvenience for many people.

Instead they have asked the RTP to devise regulations that will allow the practice while increasing safety, with suggestions being either a strictly enforced speed limit for vehicles with passengers in the rear space and limits to how many passengers can travel in this way. The Department of Land Transport also told the RTP that police have the authority to issue reprieves; for example, in designated zones where the practice can be allowed, such as on minor or community roads.

While on the one hand this appears to be a reasonable compromise for a practice that is so widespread due to either a lack of public transport or affordability, it does smack somewhat of ‘passing the buck’ on the road safety issue, although ultimately allowing people to ride in the rear of a pickup does not cause accidents, it just increases the chances of more fatalities or injured when accidents do occur. However it is necessary for the authorities to educate on the increased risks associated with practices like this, but there are far more dangerous ones they would do well to address first, such as the numbers of people on motorbikes - the law is already there, but the enforcement of it is patchy, and for very similar reasons as the pickup situation; but the one big difference is how unstable overloaded motorbikes are in comparison to the minimal effect the number of rear passengers in a pickup has. These are tricky issues for politicians to deal with, which is perhaps why they have been handed over to the police.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. toys, channel-surfing blithely through the evenings.”

This week it is....Surfing Surfing (a.k.a. surfboarding) - originally the riding of a wave The use of a remote control to switch channels on a TV while standing or lying on a surfboard. Now also applied set is quite different from the versions above as it it doesn’t figuratively to other activities, e.g. ‘surfing the net’. physically mimic surfboarding. It is surfing only in a figurative It is generally accepted that surfing was first enjoyed by Polynesians in Tahiti and Hawaii. The oral tradition of passing sense in that it alludes to the moving easily and smoothly from one place to another. chants, called ‘Meles’, from generation to generation records This has led the way to the various forms of surfing that are the practice of surfing in those islands and suggests that it applied to the Internet. Like any phrase or saying that has dates back to at least the 15th century. It was first recorded been coined since the World Wide Web was invented (around in print in the ship’s log of the Discovery, which was part of November 1990) and the Internet became widely used, these Captain James Cook’s ill-fated expedition to Hawaii. The log was written in 1779 by Lieutenant James King, who took over can be dated almost to the second. The first of these surfing terms was simply ‘surfing the internet’. This is recorded in the captaincy of the ship after Cook was killed. the archives of the Usenet newsgroup alt.gopher in a posting Modern-day surfing came to the USA in the 20th century headed ‘Re: Size Limits for Text Files?’, 25th February 1992: and became very popular amongst the young, especially in on the west coast, during the 1960s. When the Beach Boys “There is a lot to be said for surfing the internet with gopher recorded Surfin’ USA in March 1963 they could have had from anywhere that you can find a phone jack.” no notion that surfing was to become such a widespread term in the language. What started out simply as ‘surfing’ The terms World Wide Web and Internet are often confused, migrated into other forms. Initially these were activities that especially as they are both frequently called ‘The Net’. The use mimicked surfboarding. The first was ‘body surfing’, which of ‘surfing the Internet’ is correct here though as Gopher was a is surfing in the original sense, that is, riding a wave on the sea, but without a board. This was recorded in the Californian program that used the Internet rather than the Web. ‘Surfing the net’ came later the same year, with this posting newspaper The Oakland Tribune, in February 1939: in the Usenet newsgroup bit.listserv.gutnberg on 5th August “I went body-surfing at Makupuu with Walter Macfarlane, one 1992: of the most skillful men at the sport in the territory.” ... The fourth is that they will have no trouble converting the The first use of surfing to be applied to an activity on land was e-mail messages to a readable file that they can consult while “surfing the net.” ‘van surfing’. This was explicitly defined in a piece in Time magazine in April 1985: Finally we get ‘surfing the web’, in the Usenet newsgroup “Cars move slowly past the crowd, and when the passengers get posting in bionet.announce, 22nd November 1993: restless they van surf (dance on roofs).”

“BioBit No24 (Surfing the Web)” Soon after that came ‘train surfing’ - here referred to in The Wall Street Journal, November 1988: Is there an English phrase or saying that “Riding the tops of trains is a stunt popular among the poor youths of north Rio. Their counterparts in the wealthy south of the city surf the waves; they surf the trains.”

The allusions to surfing get progressively less like the original surfboarding as time goes by. In 1989 ‘crowd surfing’ emerged.

‘Crowd surfing’ is the carrying overhead of someone by a crowd, usually after diving into the crowd from the stage at a rock gig. The Toronto Globe & Mail had this item in November of that year: “The music is a barrage of stampeding time trials inspiring live audiences to excesses of stage-diving and crowd-surfing.”

In November 1986, The Wall Street Journal also recorded ‘channel surfing’: “Older consumers who initially spurned cabled expansion of prime-time selections now browse confidently with their new

A young woman visited her doctor complaining of a bed wetting problem. The doctor asked her the usual questions and then asked her to go behind the screen and remove her clothes.

She was a bit shocked but went ahead anyway.

When she was undressed he asked her to stand on her hands in front of and facing a full length mirror. The young woman was even more shocked but if it would help solve her problem she thought she had better do what the doctor said.

As soon as she was in position the doctor asked her to open her legs and when she did he put his head between them and rested his chin right on her private parts. After a few moments and some very positive ‘yes, yes’ type noises the doctor instructed ooh, nurse! her to get dressed again.

Uk Pensioner visited by police after failing to return kids’ football from next door An elderly woman was visited by police after she declined to return footballs kicked into her garden.

Penny Freeman, 73, said they smashed her plants and manicured lawns so she was disinclined to throw them back.

But she was shocked to get a visit from police telling her that if she didn’t, she could be charged with theft.

Ms Freeman has spent £3,000 turning the walled garden at her Victorian semi into a landscaped haven with colourful flower beds and beautiful trellis archways.

After nobody came round to fetch back the balls, Penny decided to keep them so the children would ‘learn the consequences’.

But she was shocked when police knocked at the door.

‘The children don’t say, ‘Please can I have my ball back, I am sorry’,’ Penny said.

‘It is beyond the pale.

‘It seems you don’t need to ask for your balls back, you just call the police.

She blasted the ‘heavy-handed’ approach, adding: ‘Perhaps I should call 999 every time a ball comes over and cite criminal damage.

‘If I keep it am I going to have my collar felt and a caution applied?

‘I am very, very angry.

‘We put so much work into this garden, we are both in our mid-

70s.

‘It’s not as if we are bitter and twisted old so and sos.

‘The police were very nice but I was left feeling should a ball land in the garden, I must rush out immediately and return it.’

Ms Freeman also questioned whether the visit to her home wasn’t just a waste of Humberside Police’s resources.

The mother of the two boys, aged 11 and six, insisted that she has offered to pay for any damage caused, but was too scared of her neighbour to pop over and get the balls back herself.

The neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: ‘My children don’t want to go once the ball has gone over, she claims we have smashed plants on a couple of occasions.

‘I don’t send them round anymore, she’s a bit rude.

‘I am scared of her, I am not sending my children. It has been going on since they moved in.

‘We just want them to chuck the balls back over the wall.

‘I know it can be a bit of a nuisance, I do understand, it’s just one of those things.

‘They are not little terrors or anything like that, they are just normal kids.’

it takes two Welcome back to AWOL after our short break, and to Hull where the City of Culture year plods on with a profusion of fake flowers.

A display of a section of the Tower of London ceramic poppys cascades to the ground from a window high on a museum, while a field of Lego daffodils adorns a city centre square. Both of course require 24 hour guards.

Back in Siam, as it was then, on May 11th 1811 something a bit more significant was happening. Twins Chang and Eng were being born in Samut Songkhran, some 60 miles from Bangkok.

The brothers were to become the first conjoined twins known to have survived, and their country of birth would give its’ name to all pairs of conjoined twins who followed them.

Chang and Eng were joined at the sternum by a ligature, and their livers were also fused, but they were otherwise unaffected.

These days a separation would be a fairly simple procedure, but back then was considered to be far too risky. Besides, without the benefit of Xrays the fused livers probably weren’t discovered until after the twins died.

Thanks to their mother however the ligature which bound them was gradually stretched, allowing a little more independent movement as they grew, and by the age of 18 the twins seem to have been living an otherwise relatively normal life. Until one day while swimming they were spotted by a Scottish expat who, seeing the potential for a lucrative business, did a deal with their parents to exhibit them on a world tour.

Although we would now consider such exhibitions to be crude exploitation, the twins made a small fortune from their tour,

advertise here for just 360 baht per week (when booked for 13 issues)

and after a few years were able to buy a farm - and slaves - in North Carolina. They became American citizens, taking the surname Bunker, and did well in business, but something was missing from their lives, and on April 13th 1843 they shocked American society by putting that right, by marrying two sisters.

After a while a disagreement between the two sisters resulted in the wives occupying separate houses, with the twins dividing their days between them. But despite the strange domestic arrangements Chang and Eng produced a total of at least 21 children, and lived until 1874, when they died three hours apart. There is a monument of the twins in Samut Songkhran, and their preserved liver is displayed in a Philadelphia museum.

At the time of their death in 1874, another man who became famous due to his deformity was just 7 years old. Joseph Merrick, known as the Elephant Man, had been born in England in 1867, and similar to Chang and Eng he made a living for a while by establishing his own stage show. But Merricks’ condition was progressive. Just as his deformity had prevented him from working as a child, it also quickly put an end to his show.

Fortunately public opinion was changing by then, and ‘freak’ shows were becoming unpopular. An appeal for funds raised enough money to allow Merrick to spend the rest of his short life in the London Hospital, where he died in 1890.

But while Chang, Eng and Merrick had to some extent all had a say in their lives, and despite what they did to survive falling out of favour, another similar case would follow in the 1900’s which was nothing short of exploitation. We will take a look at it next week.

On This Day

Finally this week an anniversary which Sir Elton John might prefer to forget. For on 21st April 1970 he made his first solo concert appearance - as the support act for T Rex.
