HASH 1518 – MODBURY

FEELING HOT, HOT, HOT!

Nokkers and Py had a lovely day to lay the hash around Modbury, with the sun shining and the heat turning up at long last. The GM circled everyone up in the usual way – with her whistle – in the Modbury car park, said her fun fact of the night [Ed. another little chestnut of wisdom, no doubt, but…🤷‍♀️ (Sorry, DS!)] , then handed over to Nokkers, who advised the hash of the mileage – and off they went.

As we left the car park, we clambered over the style and up and up we went until we were above Modbury; the shouting of ‘OnOn’ was slightly lacking, as most were gasping for breath at this point! You know that after an up there is always a down, and down we went – down towards the large stream. This is when we had a L/S split and a well-earned sweetie stop. At this point, Shaggy hadn’t fallen over or hurt herself – this was up in London this week [Ed. I’ve got nothing… Either as to why being in London might be relevant, or an explanation as to how, so early in the evening, natural clumsiness had not already prevailed]. It was a lovely, well-laid hash and glorious weather. [Ed. Wow. Succinct!]

On downs was back in the White Hart, with the pub being taken over by hashers: what a lovely venue to be able to spread out and yap to all.

Olive started her RA. I’m not sure if she was feeling hot or she thought SH4 were all hot, but she talked a lot about hot. Wetspot, Dimmers and Whisperer [Ed. the first three hashers that spring to mind in close juxtaposition to a discussion on  the subject of ‘hot’, of course 😘] were seen posted on social media in dresses: I think they were trying to get into the Victoria’s Secret catalogue; Olive thought it was a hideous example of modelling causing the earth to shake and making the UK sun come out [Ed. one of the lesser known of Kipling’s ‘Just So’ stories…] I’m happy for them to model every week if it brings the sun out!

In the same post on social media, the terrible three some were on a blind date – I think this is when Olive got hot talking about The Blind Spot [Ed. if only…] and not The Hot Spot. Olive then told us what we shouldn’t do on a first date: re-reading her notes, I needed a bucket again – I’m glad I’m not first-dating these days!

Also feeling hot, we had a male stripper: yep, you got it – the one and only Gaffer was topless, spraying himself in water thinking he is a model from an Athena poster (I had to Google Athena posters, and I can safely say Olive needs glasses!) [Ed. besides, that famous cinnamon complexion would be completely wasted in Athena’s classic B&W format…]. Ging Gang was also feeling hot and was overheard saying to Nut Cracker she had found a ball and had to pump it up so it wasn’t limp. Filth was also feeling hot when she found a frog, kissed it but no Prince Charming appeared [Ed. *sigh*…you just can’t get the enchanted amphibians these days]. Re-Entry got lost (no surprise there) and none of the Longs wanted to call him back, so he ended up in a ditch [Ed. just exactly as he intended, I think you’ll find, if you were to ask him…]. Allegedly, GM told RE not to kick out a check and to leave it for the Longs: GM is booking RE in for a hearing check. At one point Olive was at the front of the Longs: she must have got a lift there [Ed. Bold talk: better hope she doesn’t catch you!]. Dimmers and Fobjockey were overheard talking about memory loss and forgetfulness: is this age-related, dementia or just MENopause? (Ed. very good…but no talk of hot flushes? ‘Shame: that would have dovetailed so neatly…)

Blown Off and Anchorman enjoyed going down down for ages – another two that became hot. Nice Tackle was struggling with hotness this week, as he’s been stripping (Ed. just wallpaper, disappointingly) all week. GHR was running well as he was ahead of Gaffer: this must be due to GHR’s new hot, slim physique. Then GHR was heard to say that Come Tonight looks as stunning now as the day he married her: oh, GHR – you hot softy!
