Unclear if this is an official Hashing title\, but - if not - bestowed honorarily [&\; temporarily] in recognition of superlative festive past ries).\n\nFancy dress was encouraged\, with Filth turned out as well as us ual\, dressing up as a snow-person\, pronoun she\, he\, it\, you\, me\, I\ , we\, us\, this\, them\, that\, or the other. Overshot thought he would h ave a laugh and joined in by dressing up as an elite runner.\n\nRizzo call ed order and told the customary joke\, which was so memorable I have forgo tten it (no\, it was not one of mine)\, and then passed over to the hares as no virgins or visitors present. 'Brief' best describes the instructions given by Blue Nun (or should it be Blue None?):\n'R' is for run\, or don ’t...oh\, and there are drinks stops - and a pie stop - with carols\, so it’s off that way...\n\nSo off we went\, that way\, in and out of the S alcombe streets\, up to the church for the first set of carols\, and not a \nVorderman in sight (Ed. WGAS' 'joke' from the Circle Up. You had to be t here...actually no\, the key 'humour' element was missing then\, too.). Th en off up the hill we went for the first time\, down the steps and back pa st the On Down\, and then back up the hill past the church - part two - wh ere the FRBs were off down the steps for the second lap. There was an RSPC A van parked by the church and\, when we explained that the report of an a nimal in distress was only Overshot carol-singing\, they asked if we could please restrict his singing to birthdays and bar mitzvahs in future. We d id explain it's even worse in an enclosed space.\n\nNext\, the sound of a fair maiden's voice could be heard - or was it a siren calling poor fisher men onto the rocks\, or unsuspecting hashers to a watery grave? Only one p oor hasher\, ReEntry I believe\, couldn’t resist and was not seen again. The rest of the hash ran in the opposite direction\, so all but one was s aved from the second round of carols.\n\nThe siren\, Olive\, plus her coho rts Di the pie\, Ging Gang and Goolie\, were next seen kerb-crawling while on their way to North Sands\, the excuse being that they were hurrying th e hashers along. We thought we were saved from the carols\, but round thre e/two was ahead at North Sands - although\, in fairness\, there were some lovely mince pies thanks to Di the pie and other refreshments supplied to warm the cockles of your heart. The Bar Steward\, Blue Nun\, had us playin g Russian roulette with the shots: was it Amaretto\, a Russian Vodka or ev en red diesel from the Russian front?More carols and not a Decker in sight . This time\, the lifeboat had to be told to stand down as it was only Ove rshot singing again and not calling for help while drowning.\n\nFour mince pies later - “Lovely pies\, Di the pie” - and the running slowed cons iderably for me\, but not Can’t Come\, who was off up the hill shouting "Last one to the top is a rotten egg!" to Ching Chong. Still\, Ching Chong slowed him down later when she hobbled Can’t Come at a kissing gate (on our way to Malborough\, as we thought...).\n\nIn other News:\nRubbery has spent three days in bed this week.\nRizzo announced she had kicked out al l the checks that were not kicked out by others.\nPugsley was only there f or the alcohol. “True Hasher”.\nTyred Bunny can sing.\n\nThe RA\, Gool ie\, was keen to present his report\, so some poor hashers didn’t even g et to the bar in time for some well-earned liquid refreshment. In the abse nce of any notes\, errors and omissions excepted or even expected\, I beli eve Filth might have won two bottles of wine (Ed.: Goolie was pronounced o verall winner of the Fancy Dress competition by the lovely waitress whom h ad been coerced into adjudicating...I'm sure it wasn't purely coincidence that he was the closest hasher to her at the time...) and Cow Pat definite ly got a well-deserved tee-shirt for completing\, or at least turning up t o\, 1200 hashes.\n\nDown Downs went to Can’t Come\, the hares Blue Nun a nd Olive\, Gary\, Cow Pat (Ed. nominated Blown Off) and possibly Filth? Pl ease put your name forward to be the scribe for next week if I have missed you out. (Ed. Lowtarse [for a second lap] and Morticia were also awarded Down Downs)\n\nCow Pat was later telling us how her first hash was the sec ond for SH4 and was at Blackawton during\nthe evacuation and there were lo ads of American GI there.\n\nOn on to Boxing Day Hash and Swim at CHALLABO ROUGH.\n\nHappy Christmas\n\nWGAS - The Words according to WGAS\nHash 1443 - SALCOMBE\naka 'Fancy Dress and Christmas Carols Hash'\n\nThe Words acco rding to Who Gives A Shit (WGAS)\n______________________\n\nIt was the nig ht before Christmas (4 nights) and a dedicated crowd of SH4 hashers met fo r what is now the traditional pre-Christmas hash\, laid by Olive\, Blue Nu n and Di the mince pie (Ed.
