Circle

Piltdownman called order and mumbles something about this being Hash number two thousand and mmm,ooo,errr, something ish (maybe in need of elocution lessons)

 

In the absence of the GM Pocket Rocket (no doubt performing with his band, or perhaps just playing with himself — musically speaking, of course) Man Pig took over. Any announcements? Smellie requested for a Hare for Oct 27th (I think this has now been taken but I could be mistaken, so check future announcements on the FB page)

 

Manpig then tricked me into doing the Words (I’ll get my revenge) he then swiftly moved us onto the Hares to explain this evening’s trail. 3Sum advised a short of about 3 miles, longs about 5 with a number of ‘Hooks’, each should be run back to the Walkers who she & Cherio Beerio would be leading (they would know if anyone cheated). At this a shout of ‘a proper hash trail’ emitted from Soapy, so I’ve been Hashing now for all of 5yrs and only learnt this evening I’d been doing it wrong all this time.

On On out from whence we stood to the road and the 1st Check.

 

Arriving at the Check Manopause helpfully suggested I go left, I think Miss Inn went right, anyway the correct way was across the road past the Boat House’ bar and then on past the row of beech huts. Passing the walkers I did well not to trip over the lead of Ralph.

 

Along past the Beech Huts and despite my wheezing as I’m out of condition I could see the lights of Torquay over the bay (looks so much nicer from a distance). Then I find those leading the way coming back towards me as they had just turned at the 1st Hook and we all jogged back to the walkers where 3Sum advised to go back and past the Hook! At least I finally had some company. After this things went a little awry and we head down to the beach and along the beach we go despite no marks, Man Pig then appeared and led the way, aha he must know something we don’t so off we follow only to come across another Hook, well those in front did whilst Manopause, Big End, Well Hopped and a couple of others loitered by the road as there was also a check at this point. Back in the Park from where we had emerged 3Sum was on hand to send us back through the tunnel to the beach where Cheerio Beerio was looking after the ‘Sweety Stop’, said something about a nice place to admire the sunset but by my reckoning that was an hour past. Ralph of the ‘long lead’ was now off it amd digging his way to Australia

 

After some munching of sticks of Paignton Rock (from Blackpool but does that matter?) we set off up to the road and a little way toward Torquay where we turned left into some woods, the name of which I do not know. When we emerged from the woods, we entered a small play park where Miss Inn had climbed to the top of a slide but did not slide down, said Harriet wailed the rails are too tight and suggested Smellie try. Smellie felt that if she did the Fire Brigade would need to be summoned to lift her off, Aha the idea of a story for Down Down was forming here and was indeed used.

 

Off out of the park we found ourselves jogging along some streets (Cockington Lane maybe). Around here Beefy with another who I did not recognise on the longs passed and took a turn to the right for the Longs, for all of I’d say a millisecond I thought of following but fortunately that madness swiftly passed and I continued along the Shorts. So, I don’t really know how long the Longs trail was but since I drank a beer before they arrived at the pub it was the same as the shorts plus a pint

After a mainly down hill jog we turned left along Torquay Road where I actually passed Erection, progress indeed and then right into Seaway Road (passed the London Fryer which looked like it was doing a good trade) under the bridge and right again along Marine Drive and then finally right again back to the Embassy Tavern.

 

To the Down Down:

 

I had ordered the Cheeseburger and a Pint on Newcastle Brown as the Ales were not on, however for £10 a bargain.

 

Cold Tits arrived a little late and Shaken (not sure if she was Stirred) having taken a fall on arriving at the pub, I thought it traditional to take a fall when leaving but let’s not quibble. I think something a Shiner on the way, and I hope Cold Tits will be OK

 

Man Pig took up the reigns of RA having ‘Delegated the Words’

 

Any awards he enquires -Hornie had the Hashit Shirt having not reunited it with Soapy (I think that was the gist of her spiel). Hornie then awarded this to Manopause and I can’t remember for what but must have been well deserved. He dispatched beer as swiftly as I have ever seen.

 

Man Pig then produced a Badge and the usual game of guessing what number was on this, eventually he got the answer required of 200, so who could it be?? ‘Twas Well Hopped and so a beer was drunk swiftly (but not as Swiftly as the previous) to a ditty from Pork Torpedo.

 

Any Stories cries Man pig – I stand up and repeat the tale of the Slide. As Miss Inn was living up to her name of not being present in the pub it fell to Smellie to take the fall and downed the beer to another ditty from the Song Meister.

 

Man Pig led a cheer to the pub for having us, this having fallen of deaf ears we tried again, the lad in charge of the bar was oblivious to this whist arranging cutlery Man Pig moved on to award a beer to the Hares, 3Sum was well into her red wine and declined and well Cheerio Beerio is well known for avoiding beer they nominated Manopause for missing all recent Xmas parties – he then proceeded to consume said 2nd bee faster than I have ever seen.

 

So, these are my Novice words and apologies to any mishap or other I missed
