care freeBy roger norwoodLiving in Thailand can definitely have strange effects on people sometimes, and this also extends to those just visiting too.an example of this was presented to me this week and got me wondering why it is that people will do or say things here that they would never dream of repeating in their home countries. The trigger for rhis week’s article was a question i was asked by an english visitor, as he enquired whether he and his family needed to wear crash helmets as they rode their scooters into town.What struck me was that had we been in the uK the question would not arise - everybody knows both the physical and legal risk of not wearing a crash helmet, and while it

is perhaps understandable to enjoy the thrill of the wind in your face and a cooler head it will almost certainly land you in trouble.So what is it about Thailand that leads people to ignore what they would normally do back home? There are countless examples of people buying property or businesses without carrying out due diligence or even employing a lawyer, and sometimes even without seeing the property! is it a psychological thing where they feel a sense of freedom and choice that they don’t have at home? is it the carefully nurtured image that Thailand is a friendly, smiling place where nothing should worry you? Or the ‘holiday syndrome’ where people do just throw their cares

away and try to forget about rules and common sense?Given that this doesn’t just seem to effect tourists but also expats the last one is unlikely, and we are all guilty of it in smaller or larger doses, and maybe it is not just Thailand but anywhere we go away from our own country. Maybe it is the feeling that no one knows us and we can escape the identity we have at home - certainly there are plenty of expats who have reinvented themselves, some to the point of creating a completely fabricated past - how many of you have met others claiming to have been former members of the SaS for example?With all the counterfeit goods that are notoriously available here, it seems like some of us are also fakes.

neW yOrK, uSa Man steals $210,000 from parking meters – all in loose changea man has been jailed for stealing more than $210,000 (6.3 million baht) from parking machines across new york - entirely in loose change. James Bagarozzo, who is a parking meter repair man, worked in Buffalo for more than 30 years and serviced its 1,200 meters. The 58-year-old rigged dozens of machines so deposited quarters never dropped into the coin canister – allowing him to steal the money for himself.fBi investigators found around $47,000 (1.4m baht) in cash and quarters in Bagarozzo’s home, including $40,000 (1.2m baht) hidden in his bedroom ceiling. Over an eight-year period, the parking meter perp used bags in his car or his deep-pocket work trousers to take the money home. he would then roll the change in coin wrappers and exchange them for bank notes. The fBi said the bank never questioned him because he said he had a friend in the vending machine business.Special agent rob Gross of the fBi Buffalo division, who investigated the case, said: ‘When he went to work, half of his day was spent stealing from the city. he developed such a good relationship with the bank

tellers that they eventually gave him boxes to use that held exactly $500-worth of quarters. he went to the bank several times a week with a $500 box of quarters and got cash in return.’Bagarozzo has been jailed for two-and-a-half years and former colleague Lawrence charles, who stole $15,000 (450,000 baht) in quarters, has been arrested.Bagarozzo said he started stealing the coins when he became ill and was concerned about how he would financially provide for his wife and two teenage daughters. he was diagnosed with crohn’s Disease, which is a type of inflammatory bowel disease, in 2003.

This week it is..... Pell-mellin disorderly confusion; with reckless haste.There are various early uses of pell-mell, which have slightly different meanings. The general sense though is of people charging about ‘like chickens with their heads cut off’. Sir Thomas north, in his 1579 translation of Plutarch’s Lives of the noble Grecians and romanes, used the term to mean ‘in disordered confusion’:“He entred amongest them that fled into their Campe pelmel, or hand overheade.”The first record we have of the term being used with our currently accepted spelling is in Shakespeare’s richard iii, 1594:“March on, ioine brauelie, let vs to it pell mell, If not to heauen then hand in hand to hell.”The expression is derived directly from the french pêle-mêle, which has the same meaning as the english variant. This was an adaptation of the Old french pel et melle (melle means mix; pel may derive from the Old french pesle, meaning to run or bolt).There is a possible association between pell-mell and

Pall Mall, which is best-known now as the name of a street in central London which runs between St James’s Street and haymarket - previously a small alleyway. That name was coined from the name of the game pall mall (a game played with a ring and mallet), which was played in the alley. On the face of it pell-mell and Pall Mall are derived separately and are unrelated. There are early records though, from Samuel Pepys and others, of both the game and the alley being called pell mell. Whether the game was disorderly and confused and the name was coined from that is speculative. it may be that the similarity between the two is merely coincidence, backed up by indifferent spelling.

Is there an English phrase or saying that you would like to know more about?

anOTher Genie JOKea man walks into a bar with a paper bag. he sits down and places the bag on the counter.The bartender asks what’s in the bag. The man reaches into it and pulls out a little man, about one foot high, and sets him on the counter. he reaches back into the bag and pulls out a small piano, setting it on the counter as well. Then he pulls from the bag a tiny piano bench, which he places in front of the piano. The little man sits down at the piano and starts playing a beautiful piece by Mozart! piano concerto 5“Where on earth did you get that?” says the bartender.The man responds by reaching into the paper bag. This time he pulls out a lamp. he hands it to the bartender and says...”here. rub it.”So the bartender rubs the lamp, and suddenly there’s a gust of smoke and a beautiful genie is standing before him.“i will grant you one wish. Just one wish...each person is allowed only one!”The bartender gets really excited. Without hesitating he says, “i want a million bucks!”a few moments later, a duck walks into the bar. it is soon followed by another duck, then another. Pretty soon, the entire bar is filled with ducks and they keep coming!The bartender turns to the man and says, “y’know, i think your genie’s a little deaf...i asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks.”“Tell me about it!!” says the man... “Do you really think i asked for a 12 inch pianist?”

maGs meanDerinGs: From som tam to mushy peas

PacKinG iT inOur British readers will be familiar with the saying ‘carrying coals to newcastle.’ a reference to the futility of doing something - as in transporting coal to a place where it is (or in this case once was) found in abundance.The idea of smuggling rice into Thailand would appear at first glance to fit into the same category as Geordie coal, the only difference being that the land of smiles still has quite a lot of rice of its’ own. nevertheless the smuggling seems to be happening on a grand scale, with cambodian and Burmese rice illegally entering the Kingdom at an alarming rate.The reason is pure Thai logic with a pinch of economics thrown in for good measure. in its’ laudable efforts to support the prices paid to farmers for their crops, the Government has succeeded in making Thai rice more valuable than that of its’ neighbours.Meanwhile Thailand has lost its’ position as the Worlds’ largest exporter of rice, and is now in 3rd place after india and Vietnam. at the same time it is sitting on a stockpile of 18 million tones of rice - double the amount it would normally export in one year.unfortunately cambodia and Burma, (or Myanmar as we should now call it), while cashing in on Thailands’ artificially inflated prices, are only adding what is allegedly lower quality grain to that stockpile.The concept of stockpiling to increase export prices and redress the balance would be fine for a country holding a high quality product for which there is a high demand. But unless i’m missing something here there are a couple of stumbling blocks. namely World export ranking, and quality.according to the Managing Director of one leading Thai rice processing company, cambodian and Burmese rice is indistinguishable from that grown in Thailand. i’m sure we can all sympathise with the dilemma of telling one grain from another, and yet the authorities estimate that the equivalent of 750,000 tons of milled rice is being smuggled in every year.it does sound as though Thailands’ border force has a very similar problem to that of the uKs’, where the number of illegal immigrants is anyones’ guess.But surely rice deteriorates at a much faster rate than an illegal immigrant?There is a tendency in the uK for Provincial newspapers to devote a few column inches to the goings on in their local Magistrates court every week, and hull’s local rag is no exception.But unlike some Thai local newspapers there are never any graphic scenes of carnage, and no photos of the arresting officers pointing accusingly at the perpetrator with his stash of stolen or smuggled goods.Which last week was a shame, because it would have

been quite interesting to see the damage caused to a birthday cake valued at £15 (about 700 Baht) which landed its’ assailant in court. Sadly hull currently tops the league tables as the uK city with the highest crime rate outside of London. exactly how much of that crime involves food isn’t disclosed, although a good percentage of it must be attributable to the theft of food from supermarkets - a sad sign of the times.Damage to a birthday cake though is probably a first for the Magistrates in this crime ridden city, and i have to wonder how they would react if they saw the fate of the average 700 Baht birthday cake from S & P.The Thai custom of dabbing cream from the top of birthday cakes onto the faces of birthday girls and boys is meant as a gesture of good luck. The origin of the custom remains a mystery to me, and readers suggestions are welcome. But the practice does at least help to reduce the amount of sickly topping left to be eaten, and thankfully doesn’t attract unwelcome attention from the local constabulary, who have far better things to do.Still on the subject of food, how do you like the idea of a flat peach?if that conjures up visions of the fruit version of roadkill i must hasten to assure you that flat peaches aren’t completely flat. They are about 4 or 5 centimetres deep.i encountered them for the first time this week in a well known supermarket. While standing in the queue at the checkout and peering at the contents of other customers trolleys - as you do - it became apparent that the customers at either side of me both had packs of flat peaches.imagine something resembling a pack of Jaffa cakes (or Oreos depending on your nationality) but with a clear wrapper displaying half a dozen peaches huddled together in all their fresh fuzzy flat glory. you get the idea.But......why? The checkout lady had no idea either, but said they were selling very well. as were the flat cabbages.There are times when the urge to proceed immediately to an airport without passing go becomes very difficult to resist.

TUESDAY 27TH AUGUST 2013PREMIER LEAGUEMan Utd v Chelsea 02:00The first clash between what most consider to be two of the genuine title contenders, both under new management. Both will want to make a statement here and it will be an intriguing game. It will likely give an indication of what each manager believes is their strongest team as well. We can’t seperate them and think this will be a high quality score draw.

who ate aLL the PIeS?

LOnDOn, enGLanDArsenal have moved to appease fans airing their distaste at the club’s lack of big name signings and their opening day humiliation by lowly Aston Villa by announcing the launch of a new match-day Heston Blumenthal steak & kidney pie.The north London outfit engaged the culinary heavyweight to revolutionise the clubs match-day output by using the finest ingredients available to demonstrate to fans their volte-face on a policy of purchasing only sub-prime cuts.The pie, which will cost £14, is viewed as a peace-offering by the club’s board, with each one guaranteed to leave the body without a protracted ‘will-he-won’t-he’ saga as soon as the transfer window opens.A spokeswoman for the club, Sheila Mount, hoped the move would satisfy an increasingly restless fan base.“Coming to a football match to support your

team is so much more than coming to watch the results of your vastly wealthy club’s spending policy bear as much fruit as a desert planted cherry tree,” she told reporters.“Its far more about increasing their coffers through merchandising of another unknown African starlet, and scoffing pies as the side you supported since you were knee-high gets a whalloping.”Mount went on to advise fans on their own spending plans.“I can’t recommend enough the £4 Heston gravy sachet to accompany your Heston pie.”“It really is a treat.”Arsenal supporter, Charles Trump, felt the time had come to place the club’s board in a much larger, meatier pie.“Just think how much could be generated for transfer funds if they were diced?”“Usmanov and gravy sounds delicious.”“What, £14?”
