| Why me? Writing enough to fill a postage stamp is normally beyond me. What the hell, I’ll have a go all the same. Thanks Mistress!! Run number 38 and Heffer allegedly has run them all. When I say run, that actually means running. I’m sure a few of you will have noticed that he actually didn’t run this hash. Fruit and Nut, I do believe you are now back in the race. |  |

| What about the hash? Well, feeling less than 100 percent, I found myself running amidst the main pack - even lagging behind if the truth must be known - due to a cold that just will not go. | ||||||||||||||
 |
Or was this something to do with the presence of some speedsters from Newbury AC who pushed the pace to something well beyond that accepted amongst hashing circles? |
 |

| I even noticed Ram finding it a bit difficult to keep up with the pace |  |
Having admitted defeat, it was up to Fun Size to keep me company on the short cuts providing an ideal opportunity for me to get back to the pub first and sneak on Heffer for not running. | ||||||||||||
| Clepto, you really must avoid going away for too many Tuesday hashes. Mistress was in a real state, panicking about the notices while at the same time trying to capture the down downs on film for her dearest husband. 13 Down downs! Has the hash suddenly won the lottery? No, having just relinquished the running of the King Charles, Big Bollox very generously provided this month’s down downs. We were missing Hoggy, so it was up to Mr Cuddles and Big Bollox to step in take over as joint RAs. | ||||||||||||||
 |
Apart from the THREE deserving hares led by Timekeeper, Floret was first up for her down down for a very good impression of Wayne Sleep as she demonstrated her dancing prowess across the car park. We had two virgins, and one of them had the audacity to take a short cut, but they were wholly unimpressive in their ability to get their beers down in a remotely respectable time. | |||||||||||||
| Having been delegated the additional responsibility of looking after Clepto’s digital camera, which, without instructions and a degree in astrophysics, generally requires more than 30 seconds to master, I missed the next few down downs. |  |
|||||||||||||
| The camera was rapidly handed to Full Pelt to allow me to put all my attention back into taking hash notes. The Hashyclava is looking slightly different to the one I handed to Hamlet back in the summer due to being washed with the whites by Bluebell on a boil-wash and shrinking like a crisp packet under a grill. Or was it Careless Wrister? I really can’t recall. | ||||||||||||||
 |
Mr Cuddles, who for generosity beyond the call of duty, was hashyclava’d. He did look a bit of a twat wearing it - am I allowed to say TWAT? Too late, already said it. ‘Hugh’?? (and Wolves) won the 25 quid and finally we said farewell and good luck to Baguette (off to Germany for two or three years). | |||||||||||||
| Forgetting my status as an honorary Tuesday night vegetarian, I missed out on the best food. Those Newburyites have to be at the front wherever they go! On the whole a good run, but there was something missing which I just can’t put a finger on - It just seemed a bit quieter than normal. ON ON |  |
