The U.K. Nash Hash 28/08 – 31/08/08. Organised by Edinburgh HHH, Details here. Marathon Bhutan, 7th September 2008 Details here. Zurich 500th Run, 28/11/08 – 30/11/08. Details here. In keeping with tradition, 'Jobsworth's annual 'Birthday Bash HASH' took us far into the stunning countryside behind 'La Turbie', as always guaranteeing a challenging and strenuous trail with fantastic views for 'Walkers' and 'Runners' alike. Most were there on time. Even 'Padre', who decided not to run in his thongs (or is that 'flip-flops'). Or is one the result of the other? Anyway, despite his false start from home without adequate footwear, he and co-pilot 'Dingus' made it to the start just in time. This time there were only 3 'Walkers'. Two of them retired at the starting point and took the car to 'Eze' for a coffee. But they did their duty and met us for the 'down downs' afterwards. That left us with one walker 'Farty Bum' striking out alone and a gaggle of excited 'Runners' plus a walking 'Runner'. No need for any concern that we have reverted back to a serious running club: 'Roadrunner' made clear at the start that the 'Runners' intended to walk the 'Runners' route! And what a beautiful walk it was too! There was one lonely 'FRB', 'Dingus', who's routine 50km bread-run every Saturday as has consequently left him in a class of his own. We rarely seem him during the run these days. All we notice is his 'whistle' from somewhere behind the bushes. A few attempts were made in the sweltering heat to leg it up the craggy hillside and gather scratches, chasing through the bushes at an ever decreasing speed. New member 'Didier' over-performed in the first half, beating everyone to the falsies. The rest of us had a good old chat catching up on the past months and picking up a bit of sunburn on the way. After the beer stop, some even opted to miss out the loop to the most spectacular view of all from the cliff top. Soon it was back to base to crack open the beers and to pick from the few victims for the 'down-down's'. The most obvious victim was 'Piedo', voted 'Shit of the week' in his absence, for phoning from vacation announcing he could not be 'beer master'. The fun continued with a christening ceremony by 'Madame Mouton' of 'Little Pinkie' (formerly Peter with broken finger). Despite smearing handfuls of flour and beer into his hair, nooone really noticed the difference. There is an advantage to turning grey after all. Actually the 'Religious Adviser', 'Dingus' really should have got a 'down down' too for cutting a dash in his Sunday best fancy purple kimono. Finally it was time to get the picnic hampers out and serve a sumptuous feast under the trees, which was kindly prepared and served by 'Never Cums' and her assistant 'Charlotte'. We feasted on a variety of delicious quiches, sandwiches and a selection of salads, all washed down with a few jars and the usual innuendo. There was even a birthday cake in the design of a glass of beer, which was devoured in about the same time it takes to drink one. Many thanks again to the caterers for spending the weekend preparing food for us! Here, in the usual disorder, is the list of the 'down-downs'. The Hare Jobsworth - for an easy flat boring run as usual Farty Bum The only 'Walker' to get lost Madam Mouton And Confusion For being idle bitches in the cafe Returners Roadrunner, Wedgie, Peter, No Grappa Roadrunner + Anne For 'wrinkling sex' all over the place at every opportunity Didier For being 'French' as it was 14 July Jobsworth For having another birthday Padre For getting himself in a mess (flat battery and floppy shoes) Little Pinkie formerly known as 'Peter' Piedo 'SOW': For abdicating on his responsibilities    |
