fighting for the right not to party
•AWOL • has previously reported on the problem of ‘party houses’ appearing in private residential areas hua hin
across the area, and this story has now hit the national press as Hua Hin residents afflicted by the problem attempt to publicise the issue further, after claiming that local officials have done little to end the problem. The so-called party houses are usually private houses that are rented out for very short term periods, generally weekends or sometimes just one night. They are advertised as being available for large groups of people to hold their celebration or party, and will usually have a swimming pool, as well as facilities geared to a party, such as karaoke machines and pool tables. The problem begins when the parties go on late into the night, and become louder and louder, with neighbouring houses suffering from the noise, and often unable to get the partygoers to respect their wishes and need to sleep. Police do get called but once they leave the problem will often start up again. As it stands, unless the house owner has a hotel licence, the practice of letting a property for less than a 30 day period is illegal, but of course pursuing this legal path can be costly in both time and financial terms, depending on who the owner is and the location of the property. It is easier to prevent the issue if, for example, the property is in a private estate that is run by the homeowners with their own legally binding by-laws established by a committee and voted on. However many estates in the area are still controlled by the developer, so any action would need to have their involvement, which is not always easy to get. The fear now is that disgruntled residents will start to take matters into their own hands, and it must be hoped that the relevant authorities act before things turn ugly.

Camden Hotten was good enough to come to An unexpected piece of good fortune. our aid again with his extended definition of ‘turn up’: Since the 1820s, or thereabouts, the term ‘turn-up’ has been used to mean ‘a surprise; an example of good fortune’. The Among sporting men bookmakers are said to have a turn up reference was to cards or dice, which are ‘turned up’ by when an unbacked horse wins. chance. Specifically, the ‘turn up’ was referred to in the game of cribbage. At the start of a game of cribbage a member of So, ‘a turn up for the book’ translates as a stroke of good luck one team cuts the pack and a member of the other turns up the top card. If this is a Jack, the second team gets extra points for the bookmakers. The earliest example I can find of the expression in print is from a report, in the Leeds Intelligencer - called ‘two for his heels’. Holding the Jack of the suit that is turned up also merits a point - ‘one for his nibs’, the Jack being newspaper, of the success of a horse called Blackdown at the Doncaster races in August 1863: one of the ‘Royal’ cards and ‘nibs’ being slang for ‘a person of importance’.

As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father “Feeling fine,” says the old man. Norton headed out of town to a golf course about forty miles “What’s the food like?” away. This way he knew he wouldn’t accidentally meet anyone “Terrific, wonderful menus.” he knew from his parish. “And the nursing?” Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was “Just couldn’t be better. These young nurses really take care Sunday morning and everyone else was in church! At about of you.” this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking “What about sleeping? Do you sleep okay?” down from the heavens and exclaimed, “You’re not going to “No problem at all --- nine hours solid every night.

Uk A man dressed as a gorilla is still doing the London Marathon It has been 120 hours since the London Marathon started on Sunday – but one competitor will only complete it today. He’s called Mr Gorilla, and he’s taking so long because he’s crawling. Dressed in a gorilla suit, he didn’t want to ruin the authenticity by walking. So he put on knee pads and has been doing it in sections, day by day. At press time, he’d made £1,086.20 – which is 62% of his target. He still has a long way to go, both financially and in terms of distance. It’s all in aid of The Gorilla Organisation, which protects the great apes in their natural habitat. But people who saw him making his slow way around the course have been donating. ‘Saw you at Charlton Fire Station,’ one person said while giving £20. ‘Hooray for body hurting eccentricity and determination.’ Another said: ‘You crawled past me at a bus stop – hope you made it. Great cause!’ Explaining his preparation before the race, Mr Gorilla said: ‘I have practised crawling at least twice now. ‘It was most unpleasant I can tell you. ‘26.2 miles of crawling is going to be absolute purgatory, but, in for a penny and all that. ‘Talking of pennies. Where are yours? Come on, cough up a few for the Gorilla Organisation!’

Uk Why you should pick your nose and eat it Try not to be sick, but – apparently it’s ok for people to pick their noses and eat it. According to one study snot, while gross, is actually full of healthy bacteria that helps protect your teeth. There are still risks associated with it – synusitis, for example, and nosebleeds. But Katharina Ribbeck, an assistant professor in the department of biological engineering at MIT, told reporters that snot could also help prevent infection. Indeed, there’s some evidence that the mucus in snot could fight off respiratory infections and stomach ulcers. And Austrian respiratory specialist Prof Friedrich Bischinger added that people who pick their noses are healthier, happier, and likely in better tune with their bodies. ‘Eating the dry remains of what you pull out [of your nose] is a great way of strengthening the body’s immune system,’ he said. ‘Medically it makes great sense and is a perfectly natural thing to do. ‘In terms of the immune system, the nose is a filter in which a great deal of bacteria are collected, and when this mixture arrives in the intestines it works just like a medicine.’ So next time your kid starts veering towards their face for a dig around their nostrils, maybe just let them get on with it. Although if your Tinder date starts doing it, feel free to quietly make your escape.

sweet child of mine? Last week we took a look into the lives of Chang and Eng, Thailands’ famous Siamese twins, and how they made a pretty good living by agreeing to appear in travelling shows, and went on to buy a farm and marry. That was back in the early 1800’s, not too long before public opinion began to turn against such displays of physical deformity. But something would happen in Canada in the 1930’s which was to prove that even Provincial Governors weren’t above cashing in on the opportunity to exploit people. The story began on May 28th 1934, in a small house near Corbeil, Ontario, when Mrs Dionne gave birth to quintuplets. The five identical girls were named Cecile, Marie, Yvonne, Emily and Annette, and unusually in those days they all survived. But how much did the intervention of Ontario Province help or hinder the girls’ development? The Dionnes’ house was small, had no running water or electricity, and there were already children in the family, so it was considered to be in the best interest of the ‘quints,’ as they were known, to be taken into care. The girls were quickly moved to the Dafoe Hospital, where they were housed in their own nursery, with their own private playground surrounded by a barbed wire fence. They were allowed almost no contact with other children, including their own brothers and sisters, and had a small school set up for them which a few other pupils had to be vetted to attend. So far it could be considered reasonable action for the Province to take. In a time when surviving quins were unheard of, and the girls home clearly wouldn’t have been suitable for their welfare, it is the kind of thing which could still happen today.
advertise here for just 360 baht per week (when booked for 13 issues)
Except for one difference. The quins’ hospital/home put up a sign declaring it to be ‘Quintland’, and displaying the times of the ‘next showing of the quints.’ When show times arrived visitors payed to watch the quins at play through the wire fencing. The viewings went on until the quins were nine years old, by which time Quintland had attracted some 3 million visitors. By then the Dionnes had also benefited from the Ontario venture and had moved to a more modern home, and the quins were returned to a family which, by then, they barely knew. Having been used as a social experiment the girls had hardly socialised with anyone except each other, and as we would realise now had probably also been a feast for many paedophile eyes. Yet somehow they managed to get on with their lives. It wasn’t until 1998, when Marie and Emily had already died, that Yvonne, Cecile and Annette jointly sued the Province and were awarded 3 million dollars. Sadly Yvonne died three years later, while one of Ceciles’ sons promptly disappeared with her share of the compensation and hasn’t been seen since. Could he be living next door to you in HuaHin? We often hear about the mistreatment of elephants in Thailand, but the countries’ Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation seems to be doing some good work. The Foundation recently took part in research led by Cambridge University into elephant self awareness, in which twelve of their elephants were tested. The results of the study suggest that elephants are aware of their own bodies, realising for example when they need to move out of the way. And if you think about it, how many elephants have you seen reversing out of the way when you have been sitting at a bar? It’s good to know that you hadn’t had one too many after all.
On This Day
A pretty significant event, in both good and bad ways, took place on this day in 1770, as it was when Captain James Cook, aboard his ship Endeavour, landed at Botany Bay in Australia. The bad that came of this was the subsequent mistreating of the indigenous Aborigines, the effects of which stil impact on modern Australian society, as well as the detrimental environmental effects on the country as a previously closed natural world was exposed to diseases and species never encountered. The good we will leave to you to judge, but Australia and it’s peoples have made significant beneficial contributions to the world in most fields.

Featured Game
Saturday 29th april 2017 PREMIER LEAGUE Southampton v Hull City 21:00 With Middlesbrough and Sunderland apparently already doomed, the final relegation place would seem to be between Hull and Swansea, so this game is vital in Hull’s battle to avoid he drop. Southampton can only reach 8th place at best and are safe from relegation bar a bizarre combination of circumstances, so we expect that the greater hunger for a result will be with Hull; however, Southampton are a very good side and the away side will struggle to keep a clean sheet. Stranger things have happened but we can’t see Hull getting any sort of result here, and they will be depending on Swansea losing their remaining matches.

Terrified families had been shuddering at the possibility of another novelty footy record being made by the famous North London piano-n-bass duo if Spurs had won. However, after Chelsea ran out 4-2 winners in a classic semi-final encounter, the mood of the entire nation was visibly lifted. Blacksmith Simon Williams, aged 42 of Devon, is 6ft 5in tall and weighs 16 stone. He spoke for many when he said: “I can put up with all this talk of imminent global nuclear annihilation without turning a hair. “But the prospect of yet another FA Cup Final song by Chas and Dave made me
