Monday 2nd Feb Crown & Sceptre, St Marychurch, Torquay, Bobbiball and Bluebird ?
Post hash quote from Bobby: 'NEVER AGAIN! IT'S TOO STRESSFUL!'
Ultimately it was the confusion and mayhem of Warberry Copse that
destroyed the will to lay of Bobbiball - he of a hundred triumphs and
travesties.
The lay day afternoon had started so promisingly as,
blessed with a calm and dry weather window, the dastardly duo had
sallied forth, laden down with six bags of the white stuff.
Bobby had stubbornly stuck to his plan of heading inland via Rambo's beloved tarmac. 'I want
the hashers to take in every aspect of the area,' enthused a deluded
Bobby. And so it came to pass, as Bobby fearlessly sought out
little-known back tracks of urban deprivation and decay behind St Anne's
Rd and Quinta. Up through the rolling suburbia of Lyme View Road they
stumbled on, gasping for breath in the rarefied air.
Then,
fatefully, they arrived at the summit of Mt Quinta and surveyed Bobby's
prize - the meandering slopes of Warberry Copse ...Bluebird was
dispatched to lay the long anticlockwise with an assurance by Bobby that
they would meet up as he proceeded clockwise for the shorts.
Some
considerable time later, the link-up was established. On departing from
the soon to be declared 'crime scene', Bluebird glanced back and espied
an arrow going around the copse (again). 'That'll Shirley confuse them,
Bobby,' ventured the Eight Time Pillock.
Bobby slowly turned, surveying his latest handiwork and then uttered the immortal words:
'ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD GO ROUND AGAIN!'
Sigh ...The 'old friend' missing since last November. The hashit shirt had been
languishing under the sink and used as a floor cloth after dear old Mum
had mistaken it for a rag!....
Teapot now waits to give him a DD
