insurance scheme for tourists proposed again
•A •revival of a proposal that previously reared it’s head in 2013, and again last year, to require all foreign hua hin
tourists to have travel insurance, was in the news this week, as a committee working on the development of Thailand as a wellness tourism hub put the idea forward again, as a response to the increasing burden on hospitals of caring for tourists who don’t have the finances to pay for their treatment. Given that this idea has cropped up several times before, the likelihood of it being implemented is not great, but there is clearly an issue that needs to be addressed for the hospitals. While figures are not available, it is likely that many of the foreigners who end up in hospital have done so as a result of a motorbike accident, which begs the question of why there are no apparent regulations relating to the renting of motorbikes and insurance for same. However this latest version of insurance for foreign tourists has padded out somewhat with ideas such as the installation of automatic vending machines at international airports and border checkpoints. No mention has been made of any consequences a tourist might suffer should they not hold any insurance as they enter, and should this idea become a reality, careful thought will need to be made on that matter, as well as the issue for older travellers who may be unable to get coverage at all. With the current lack of tourists in Hua Hin, anything that might dissuade them coming seems like a bad idea, but the need to ensure the Thai health system is not saddled with unpaid bills is equally important, assuming they receive any money raised. While it may seem unfair on those who do take out insurance, perhaps a small charge added to all flight tickets would be a more workable solution.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. This week it is....Go by the board Finished with, as in thrown overboard. The board is the side or the decking of a ship. In common with many nautical phrases, ‘go by the board’ dates back to the 17th century. Most of the early references to this phrase relate to masts of sailing ships that had fallen ‘by the board’; for example, John Taylor’s Works, 1603: “In this fight their Reare-Admirals Maine Mast was shot by the boord.” and The London Gazette No. 60/3, 1666: “Our Main-stay, and our Main Top-Mast came all by the board.” It isn’t clear exactly whether the phrase ‘go by the board’ originated with the meaning ‘gone over the side’ or ‘fallen onto the deck’. The usually definitive Admiral William Henry Smyth gives equivocal meanings in his listing of the term in The Sailor’s Word-book: An Alphabetical Digest of Nautical Terms, 1865: “By the board. Over the ship’s side. When a mast is carried away near the deck it is said to go by the board.” The figurative use of the phrase began in the mid 19th century; for example, this early citation, from The Gettysburg Republican Compiler, November 1837: “Those banks that do not resume speedily will go by the board.”

and the winner is... Just in case you might somehow have missed it, this week Brits dragged themselves to the polling booths yet again, and by the time you read this we will have the results of all those little pencilled crosses. But however fascinating that result might be, the big issue is really the way in which we cast our votes. When you think about it the method is archaic. Those polling booth signs for a start look like something from the World War 2 days of austerity. Big plain white lettering on plain black backgrounds. A style more suited to advertising air raid shelters. It gets even better inside the polling stations, which are invariably sited in spaces requisitioned for the purpose such as schools and church halls. Usually a couple of staff are there to tick your name off their lists and issue your voting slip, which you must take to a ramshackle booth seemingly constructed from cardboard boxes, where a pencil awaits dangling from a piece of string. It is said that all those pieces of string must be the same length, which somehow wouldn’t surprise me. But why pencils? Those poor polling station staff must spend all day sharpening and replacing them, when even banks can afford to provide little pens on chains. Then having made your pencilled cross it’s over to that big battered black metal box, which has definitely seen better days, to deposit a bit of paper which could change the future of your country. Putting your faith in the hands of dozens of duly sworn in counters who manually sort and count thousands of votes in your town hall, where they are trapped until everything is

checked and checked again. Still, at least the system doesn’t break down leaving thousands stranded at Heathrow. Talking of which, is there really such a thing as a reliable internet provider/operating system? Having tried a few in the search for perfection, or at least for an affordable not too techy system which doesn’t issue a new version every month, and has an accessible support team - that has to be a ‘no’. The most recent system melt down was with Google Chrome (to be avoided at all costs) which resulted in some bizarre advice. Following my online fault report about a lack of internet connection, inability to open web sites, e mails, links or attachments, the reply was ‘open this link to get help from fellow users.’ On a lighter note we have had summer here in Hull, which was celebrated by the opening of a brand new fountain arrangement in the city centre. You know the kind of thing. Those fountains that spring up from the paving stones and dance around while changing height all the time. Perfect for the recent half term school holidays, and even better for business at a nearby Primark store where sales of kids clothes and towels increased dramatically. It has been good to see young people enjoying themselves, especially in the wake of that tragic Manchester Arena bombing. Many letters of sympathy appeared in publications nationwide, with many of course condemning those who carry out such atrocities, but one letter stood out for me. Mainly because of it’s message, but also because of the man who wrote it. A Big Issue seller in Sheffield. One of those people who are trying to improve their lives by selling a paper on the streets, and are so often ignored or looked down on. This man ended his letter by saying ‘I don’t know what we can do to prevent such things. Violence isn’t the answer - talking is the answer. For me personally it’s just accepting everybody for who they are. For whatever race, religion, colour, creed - it doesn’t really matter. We’re all one species living on one planet. We’re all just people.’ If only everyone thought that way.

Match Report: No match report this week as the senior team only had a friendly game against Samut Songkhram that consisted of three 30 minute periods, each with a different eleven playing, so the coaches could assess them for the rest of the season. Many of them had not played together before, and some are university students. The score at the end of each period was Hua HinCity 0 1 Samut Songkhram, Hua Hin City 3 - 3 Samut Songkhram and Hua Hin City 3 5 Samut Songkhram. Hopefully a nucleus for an improved squad for the second part of the season is being formed, and with the transfer window will see some exciting new players in Hua Hin colours. Next game is in just over a week so why not go down to see if the boys can make it three wins on the trot in the league and continue their march up the table - don’t forget that anyone sporting a Hua Hin City shirt gets free admission, but even then it is only a 50 baht admission fee - lets get a big crowd to cheer them on!

pickleball success
More International Success for Hua Hin Pickleball Club AWOL readers will have read in the previous issue of the success of members of Hua Hin Pickleball Club at a tournament in Medway, England. It seems that the club is going from success to success on an International stage. Geoff Renouf (shown right), the club chairman, recently travelled to South Korea to participate in a tournament in Seoul and reached the tournament finals with a South Korean partner after playing the game for the first time just about a year ago. A great achievement for Geoff and the Hua Hin club who play their social matches at the True Arena every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings from 10am until Midday. Membership is available to anyone of any age. Just turn up and see for yourself how you can keep fit, have fun and meet new friends.

ride of the newbies Bigger Premier League clubs planning to bully Huddersfield
••
uk THE other Premier League teams are hatching a plot to bully newcomers Huddersfield throughout next season. As Huddersfield celebrates winning the Championship play-offs, the managers of bigger clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal began coming up with humiliating ways to put the upstarts in their place. Arsene Wenger said: “I always enjoy seeing fresh meat in the Premier League. I can’t wait for our game against Huddersfield next season so I can offer Wagner my hand but then retract it and make a loser sign on my forehead. “I say we make Huddersfield play their first game naked. We’ll tell them that all promoted teams have to do it as an initiation thing. “Better still maybe we’ll beat them 1-0 and have Per Mertesacker score the goal just to take the piss.” Chelsea have already made plans to change ‘Huddersfield’ on the scoreboard
Above: The Terriers won’t be expecting the wedgies on their first day in the Premier at Stamford Bridge to ‘Uddersfield’ while Jose Mourinho is plotting to use his famed mind games to convince the Terriers that their game against Manchester United has been cancelled. Huddersfield boss David Wagner said:
TOON’S Bar & Restaurant

“Jurgen Klopp is my friend, I just hope he doesn’t behave differently when he’s around the other big managers. “I’m sure the referees will look after us, you’d never catch them siding with the bigger teams.”
Open every day from 2pm - late Two 9‘ Brunswick pool tables in an air con room - well known Hua Hin player Job is part of the dedicated staff; he will give you free lessons
