As I turned off the slip road under the expressway, there was a massive hold up which caused the traffic to back up down the road. The reason was that someone in a grey and ancient Volvo was stopping the car, getting out and stuffing paper into any crevice she could find (well, roadside crevice I mean). The ‘rot tit’ then became minus the ‘tit’ because the driver of the ancient Volvo was now throwing paper from the driver’s window over the roof of the car, while in full flight at 30kmh. This mysterious person was of course our always willing hare ‘Joylide’ who took off to set the run not to long before the pack started up. I guess she wanted to show us the way in to the run site, rather than lay out the on–in which turned out to be nowhere near there.
A medium sized pack assembled and prompted by our GM, bade a farewell with silence to our beloved recently departed ‘Snowflake’ who praised her for her life and contribution to the Hash. Many had very fond memories. In hashes elsewhere in the world they run with dogs on leashes, but it was fitting that ‘Snowflake’ here in Thailand came to the hash with an exotic bird. I’ve seen a cock or two on the Monday Hash but never a cockatoo on a hasher’s shoulder.
On the run the shiggy took us over a klong of about 6 ft wide. This held up the pack considerably who on the advice of yours truly skirted around over a log and onto the football pitch. Not ‘Twin-peaks’ however, who with gay abandon (can we use that g word these days?) strode straight on. This reminds me that PC (political correctness) talk is slowly wearing people down. In merrie merrie England for example the police have now been advised to cut out the political correctness. So the first thing I saw in a newspaper on my way to the Interhash was a cartoon with a ‘copper’ responding to a civilian’s civil request as to the time of day. “It’s quarter past two, you fat bastard” he said. I like it…
But back to the run. The checks held the pack back and we never got within sight of ‘Joylide’. She had set a great run and got a bonfire going at the end of it. At the circle, ‘George of the Jungle’ our GM had to prize her away from the fire she was building to give her a down-down. Returners included Struan ‘Peeved Cat’ Robertson and Pam ‘Twin Peaks’ Carter’. Pete Russell was a visitor from Nicosia Hash (see photo below with St George flag on T shirt..).It came as no little surprise again when our female visitor from Bali got a resounding POTW after a very close run off with ‘Love Canal’ who was now desperate to get his ‘Tit’ or is it Tik, out of the circle and into his arms (that’s her drinking below left with the English bastard!!). In the absence of the official regalia, our RA ‘Ajarn’ used alternative implements (see below right).

On Monday 23 August there were 29 runners including 2 returners and a visitor. Returners included Struan ‘Peeved Cat’ Robertson and Pam ‘Twin Peaks’ Carter’.
