[Ed: I hope you’re ready… The below, slightly perplexing, account is brought to you from the mercurial mind of WGAS, with a touch of editorial translation for anyone who might otherwise have been a bit stumped as to what e.g. an ‘apple drain’ or a ‘tadie trap’ is. (Consider yersen learn-ed, ye gurt noodle…)]

Hash 1579 – SOUTH BRENT

What a beautiful “morning” for this evening’s hash at South Brent, brought to us by a couple of yokles, by time served if not birth.

Circle up to tell he wasson [‘what’s going on’, obvs] was presented by half GM, Lactaster, is that a G or an M or a leveret [ahh, (young) ‘hare’: nice] ? Poor SB baint well. Who’s going to do the words was called, silence ensued. Could have heard an apple drain [wasp] fart. “Goolie, you can do it” said Lactaster. “I baint”  he said, and Ging Gang called ” he idden doing it”. So as they say, one volunteer is better than two conscripts, so WGAS volunteered.

The usual presentation by tadie trap [as in, (Devonian ‘pie hole’ – trap for potatoes?!] was given by hares, Vindaloo and Gomez, to tell us wasson and where youm gwain to – walk, short, long or do the splits – and off we went before it got Dimpsey [that very specific little slice of the evening just before dusk], as the zun was setting. “Keep dogs and Wet Spot on leads near livestock or Rusty please”.

Out on the hash:

• Wetspot seen tampering with gates and wood again is a pattern developing?
• Rusty struggling to get her leg over, is there a female version of Viagra?
• Gomez looking for ladies.
• Livewire hiding in a bush.
• Lactaster and Undercovers crossed the line in the opposite direction.

‘Twas a proper hash, from one side of the hill to tuther side and then OH – some think youm maized [‘mad’] for doing it week after week.

On down to the Station Cafe, with the normal warm welcome, and “Alright me luver” was heard -was as that the landlord or Doggy Style? A queue of Leary hashers soon formed for a Fawzy [some sort of delicious beverage…??].

Umby [‘later in the evening’] Anchorman molleed [‘called’, approximately…?] for quiet, as the evening round up was due, and he had zummit to say. 

• Overshot, in what seems to be a weekly occurrence, had a go at upsetting another younger hasher by offering Livewire an old coat.
• Rusty and Ching Chong getting a clean get away (hoover)
• GHR was Mad as a Barbed-wire badger [pure poetry!], forgetting his coat, and sent poor old (young) Come Tonight back to start. Another common occurrence, as he forgot his towel at Woggle’s birthday bash

Down Downs went to:

• Vindaloo and Gomez – hares
• Livewire – for common sense
• Rubbery – birthday
• Willy Waiver – vandalism 
• GHR – care in the community

Well that was a proper job – on to Buckfastleigh dreckly.
