Run Report 2171 VD This Run was notable in having 17 Runners. They were drawn in by the Hare’s promise of a short Run, around 4k he thought. So, off they went! The final Runner, MADEMOISELLE LATRINE was arriving back as the rest of the pack had been fed, watered, entertained and were repairing to their transportation at around 9.15! He offered to pay for his meal but was excused. Other Runners returned at various times, most recording at least 9k on their high tech equipment. In these days and nights of electronics you can’t fool anyone VD. However VD worked tirelessly to produce an exceptional 3 course meal, two hot dishes followed by an outstanding dessert in my opinion. Others had different views, possibly jaundiced by their Run experience. Brutus enjoying his entree After the meal there was a flurry of table washing by Brutus, chair collection and places secured in the Circle. RUN: Skyhook saw tennis courts and a soccer oval and thought he was Home until advised that these were not the right ones and to keep running for another 5k. CIRCUMFERENCE had a cutting comment. VD came forward to defend himself and explained that the computer on his bike - BIKE?? had failed at 4.5k which led him to make a judgement on distance even though he was only halfway through setting the Run at that point. Down Down deserved! Not rated. WALK: SHAT explained that SIR RABBIT AND FERRET got lost but that it was a wonderful Walk. NOSH: MISCARRIAGE muttered that he had no food due to his late return from the 4k Run and complained about his bad back. EXELPET was particularly taken with the dessert with fresh strawberries and rated at Nice followed by Very Nice and 8.5/10. Other Down Downs: Returning Runners/Visitors: A cast of thousands due to MISCARRIAGE having his Birthday over the weekend. Mr. Lee, Sophea, Mary from Cambodia, Paul from Melbourne, Alice from Chang Mai via South London and his uncle/father in law/grandfather Ringmaster who may be one of us. MISCARRIAGE & MAD MIKE celebrating birthdays SWINDLER, celebrating 200 Runs RA Report: RA replacement SWEATHOG - SPV is indisposed, told us that SIR TWO DOGS was pushed to the front of the running Pack to protect against Wild Dogs, that Aussie pushed him off his stool at Choir Practice in Main Beach on Friday evening to get a better view of a young lady scratching her Fanny Charmer. He also explained that the riot in Hong Kong at the weekend of 1 million was 150 short as they were at MISCARRIAGE’S party. He finished with some jokes, one about acne and priests which does not bear repeating in print in these Twitter times. POW: Current awardee FOXTROT discussed a NZ $5 note that was placed in the honesty bucket last week. Who could have done this dastardly deed? He decided it was SIR SLAB who did not deny and accepted the Purple Prick. Acting RA. SWEATHOG came up with another story about an old lady that he helped with her balance. GM. ICEMAN announced a theatre evening to see the Addams Family in September. More on this later in the year. The Hash Choir burst into song in a rousing rendition of our Song. Getting better boys! And that was it for another week. Too much fun!
