Bear and Blacksmith.\n\nThere was some confusion as to the true starting point of the hash and considera ble consternation for our esteemed new Religious Adviser as to whether she had inadvertently chosen the gents instead of the ladies toilets in the p ub.\n\nHowever when we had gathered in the pub car park like a particularl y unruly class at school we finally settled down to a gentle din\, but not without some prompting from our particularly loquacious and informative G M. As it turns out there was a cruel incident before we got there this eve ning in which a real live bear was killed by the locals for some misdemean ours near the blacksmith thereby neatly providing a name for the pub.\n\nO ther namings at the simplest level involve listing two observed objects an d putting them together to form a long lasting and meaningful name\; but m ore of that later.\n\nMost shocking of all in the circle up was Overshot a dmonishing Hekkel for talking to her neighbour and not paying attention. K een observers will have noticed the author in awe and avidly taking notes of how that was achieved.\n\nAnd then we all shot off predominantly in the same direction and Hardcore prawn immediately upset ReddyMix by announcin g her intention to run the long. Piddler meanwhile lured Ladybouy to turn off her light in the dark moonlit sky in order for her to look at a belt – apparently Orion’s belt although why he left it there is difficult t o fathom. Anyway\, sympathies have to go to Wet Spot who is now getting so old that he has hobbled the short route but took out his frustrations by standing completely still and ordering the shorts about on various errands that they don’t usually do like checking false trails and home deliveri es of health food.\n\nUngentlemanly behaviour dear reader was sadly observ ed by Goolie who was seen running away from his wife and Boaty McBoatface who was seen running towards Arso and knocking her clean over. Wet spot an d Dead Man Walking then joined in and Boaty calmed the situation by gently remarking that Hot Tottie and Arso were behaving like ‘Frisky Heffers ’. Brave work Boaty.\n\nIn other news\, unusual behaviour was exhibited by Cowpat who was observed wandering about asking random people where she had left her car.\n\nBack in the pub our newest religious adviser bent und er the beam (not a euphemism) to deliver a sparkling performance again. We must have been on our best behaviour because not even Hekkel or Piddler f ailed to quieten and our RA Spotty Botty remarked wistfully that ‘My chi ldren never go this quiet’. She thanked the pub and noted that once agai n the theme of her mutterings concerned marital dispute\, initially Hekkel and Jyde and this week Goolie and Gingang. (see previous note).\n\nBirthd ay renditions of a vaguely recognisable birthday song were bestowed on the Jerk and Cowpat. Like a conductor in front of her orchestra our RA announ ced with consummate authority that ‘We are done’! As quick as a flash she was then on to the naming of Sarah\, who\, on apparently finding a sti ck (presumably from some undergrowth or bush she had passed by) had someho w made its way into her undergarments made the fatal mistake of commenting on this out loud. Spotty Botty naturally reached the conclusion that ‘S ticky Bush’ was that only possible name that could be bestowed. In time honoured fashion\, no alternative was offered but the roar of approval ind icated little doubt as the popularity of the naming.\n\n16 years is an ins anely long time to be doing the same thing and expecting a different resul t (with apologies to Einstein)\; Knockers was rewarded with a different re sult in that this is the first time that someone has given her a company T shirt in the presence of an applauding and appreciative audience.\n\nSoun d drinking performances were observed by Sticky Bush (for providing the ra w material for a simple descriptive name)\, Jerk and Cowpat (for simply ea ch of them being one year older)\, Boaty (for knocking people over)\, Over shot and Dimwit (for placing and re placing dots of flour according to the rules).\n\nJyde 19/1/17 - he Words: Chilly in Chillington.
