HASH 1507 – MALBOROUGH
Vets are famous, much like doctors, for their inability to write things legibly. However, whatever profession Doggy Style practises is undoubtedly a world-beater for this. I’d be polite in putting it on the same level as my 4-year-old son [Ed. Mee. Ow.].

Anyway, OnOn.

Having missed a few hashes for various reasons (family visit, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, Snow, Couldn’t be Arsed etc… [Ed.nothing like a bit of honesty…]), Tor and I made our return. A beautifully clear night in Malborough, with hashers appearing from all directions, having squirreled away their cars in various illegal ways around the village. It was Malborough Pantomine, so no parking was permitted/available. If Overshot was writing the words there would be a focus on panto-related puns. Thankfully he isn’t, so there aren’t any. [Ed. Boo! Hiss!]

Nice Buns and WGAS (who was looking like he’d prefer to be in his slippers by the fire) replaced Doggy Style as the sweepers, both having suffered identical back injuries at the same time. Nice Buns also feared she had re-broken her fused toe, and WGAS additionally nursing an ankle complaint. What happens in East Allington, stays in East Allington. 👀

Calm, clear conditions, but rather slippy underfoot. Rusty assisted Filth by womanfully pushing her car out [of the abundant shiggy] when it got stuck. Pugsley pulled a muscle for her in sympathy [Ed. admirable, gentlemanly conduct]. Gaffer promptly got in his car and drove the remainder of the stated 6-mile hash as he hadn’t run far enough.

I genuinely can’t read the next bit: “avec loser” [Ed. anyone?]. Wetspot wasn’t there, so it can’t have been referring to him. [Ed. P.S. Get well soon, WetSpot…]

Filth’s jacket was as bright as headlights – maybe I misinterpreted earlier and Rusty pushed Filth out of the mud?

I only have 5 DDs here: Rusty, Whisperer, Filth, Nice Buns, WGAS. If anyone can enlighten me what Whisperer did to deserve a DD when he is on Dry January [Ed. 700 t-shirt. Possibly not his first 😆], and who the mystery 6th on is [Ed. pass…], then please let the Words Editor know.

I had a great time: lovely hash, good pub – thank you very much.

On on…

…to Torcross.
