C’mon, what’s a little rain	The run/walk Only moments from arriving at the RV and the sky went black and the rain started to fall; not content to rain it poured and poured. Footpaths turned to rivers along which paper flowed freely – particularly hash paper. Obviously a little bit of rain wasn’t going to deter any hashers – except for those pretenders who stayed dry in their cars (LBH)! Twenty minutes of searching for the bastard paper however whilst hares tried to figure out what their GPSs were telling them. Deciding to ignore OverExposed’s bodyguard who actually seemed to know which way to go, WebFart eventually hit on the right direction and headed off, whilst runners continued to run round like headless chickens (a fair comparison). Hare Warm&Fluffy eventually recognised where she was and led the runners off on hare, with OverE still wondering where the f**k he was! Walkers paddled their way around and made it back to the cars without major losses. Runners were, more-or-less, on paper, although they found plenty of opportunities (OK, Bozo found plenty of opportunities) to take a dip or two in the broiling waters of the bamboo forests! Having been diverted away from a final deep-forest loop (we’d suffered enough), hashers arrived back at the cars only to find that they’d been deceived – they’d been following the trail back to front!
Get wet!
‘Havana Valley’ my arse	Shiggy dipping			Chickens can’t swim?
On on pizza pizza	The Circle The rain having amazingly enough stopped we were able to squeeze out our t-shirts and circle up in the dry, but as neither I nor the flash have any record of the occasion and I’m writing this almost 6 months after the event I have no further recollection of what transpired. Needless to say there was beer drunk and much derision for the hares’ failure to lay a flood-proof trail; probably greater amusement came from recollecting Bozo’s nose-diving attempts at every large puddle. Post-circle we were encouraged to head for Little Italy and pizza, although the soggier and unsociable hashers sped off home in their vehicles (without any help from OverExposed’s entourage as he’d sensibly opted for the pizza option). The rest of us squelched through the doors into what must have been Dhaka’s most popular restaurant that evening – it was packed and not a table free. Not to lose business waiters rapidly distributed bills, collected cash and shooed enough punters away to provide enough table space for use all, but not before a few smarter-than-the-average punters had recognised OverE for who he really was and had taken the opportunity to digitalise the occasion. Hares WebFart and Warm&Fluffy then stunned the gathered throng by 1) producing lots of booze; 2) offering to pay for pizza (OK so the hash paid in the end) and 3) announcing that they’d got engaged. Wey hey. The amount of vino consumed by W&F proved that there were to be no shotguns involved on this occasion! Could it be love on the hash!!!??? And so on on… Warm&Fluffy (scribe for the day)
Hashy coupling
Carry us home – we’re pissed!
