Monday 24^th September 2018.

Chevron Island. 19 Runners.

This night was cold with a keen wind that made the runners shiver and seek a warmer jacket. Mademoiselle Latrine adored himself with a black garbage bag. Rain was eminent but the enthusiastic runners wore a bright face and commenced the run anyway.

Bren Gun, the hare and cook did a wonderful job ferrying whole hams, bread, tomatoes, fresh lettuce and sauces from his residence. Sir Botcho did a great job in carving up the ham.  The ice cream with blue berries appeared a little later. There was no need to keep the ice cream in the deep freezer this evening.

8:10pm.  Circle opened. GM Weekly arranged the hash trailer to be removed from the park area. As Bren Gun would be in the area next day, this was tasked to him.

Visitors.   This was Rice Man. He was welcomed in the circle with a down down.

Returning runners.  These were Mademoiselle Latrine, Link and Caustic. These guys were globetrotting and had interesting stories to tell. A down down to these guys as well.

Run report.    Exelpet said it was a good run in the cold night but he thought a nasal spray would be good to have on this cold evening.

1. The RA is away on a 4×4 adventure so he could not join the evening run. He was given a down down all the same for being such a good fellow.

A reminder was given about our future events. The Oktoberfest and the GM luncheon are the big events happening soon.

The GM was challenged in keeping the circle together while it was raining. When he looked up from his notes, no one was around him. He turned around to see where the runners where. They were all sheltering under the tree with the scribe whom had difficulty making notes on soaking wet writing paper. We noticed that the GM had droplets of water running off his nose. May be Exelpet was right that runners needed that nasal spray tonight. There were no more down downs as it was coming down.

Winston Churchill. Quote of the evening.

“The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity. The main vice of socialism is the even distribution of misery.”

Good report/ feed back.     Hello mate. Are you OK?

PS: 5pm start next week

 

8:20pm. Fanny Charmer closed the circle.

The night was cool with a strong wind blowing as it has been doing for some days.

On returning, the runners explained they had some difficulty in finding some arrows and the trail disappeared. The arrows were marked by the hare little knowing that later during that day, a fence was erected and the road closed, as there were pavement repairs in progress.

But the smell of hamburger patties and fried onions on the BBQ relaxed the runners and they looked forward to the night’s meal. The hamburgers and all the fillings and side dishes was followed by ice cream on a stick.

8:30pm. Our GM Weekly called on Sweet Hog to give the run report. A little disappointed, as the arrows were invisible as for the above reason.

Sir Jo added to comment that all runners were on trail as there was no trail to follow. Also for the above reason.

Food report, by Bent Banana.  For his cooking efforts, Aussie was given a down down.

Future or coming events.  These are the Oktoberfest 1^st October. Contact Blackie.  The Grand Master Luncheon on the 4^th November. The runners were asked to book early to assist planning.  V 8 handicap 15^th October

RA report.    Sir Black Stump was congratulated on his achievements in last weekend Triathlon. He was in the pack of the first 200 of several hundred participants.  Note that this Triathlon will not be contested again in the near future on the Gold Coast. Well done. A down down was also in order for this iron man.

There were three birthday boys. These were, Sir Rabbit, Sir Botcho and Foxtrot Oscar (May be the other way around) They were encouraged into the circle and with their mugs charged, other runners sang the birthday choirs. A down down followed.

We were all pleased to see Rock Hard after his long absence from recovery. All the hash members wish him well and sorry that there was only a short time that we could chat and wish him well, before he left. I am sure many of us will keep in contact with him. Are you OK mate?

The RA told a joke about the Irish hole digger. On fellow dug the hole while the other filled it in. There was a third guy but he was off work ill.

The acting booze master will be Poxy.

Truckie will be away and on the move for the next couple of weeks. Any offers on collecting the hash trailer and delivering it to the run next week.

The recent bike run passport answers to be handed to the GM for transmission to Council.

Bren Gun will arrange next week run. This is his first set run as a hare so please support this evening. He is going to do his best to keep up the high standards of hash runs.

Sweat Hog announces a big thank you to all of those supported his endeavor to raise monies in support of the Prostrate Cancer Foundation of Australia. He has exceeded expectations of donations.

Sweat Hog has also organized a 4×4 run and adventure trip through the Simpson Desert. The RA will be away for two weeks having fun on the bush adventure. Donations have also been received from each driver. Many thanks for this hash man in his charity in helping other men.

This run was kindly held at Fanny Chamer’s residence in Broadbeach. A long under cover car parking space was most suitable and well lit for the nights gathering.

The run was around the suburb and over cannel bridges.

To keep the runners hunger pains at bay on their return, very hot beef pies were made available to them

 

8: 15pm. Circle opened by GM Weekly as Winston Churchill with his usual cigar in mouth.

 

Visitors.  These were Sour Puss (Kiwi land) and Soft Cock (Sweat Hogs Brother from Toowoomba).

 

GM calls on KB and Fanny Chamer to enter the circle. The GM congratulates them on the excellent nosh prepared tonight. A hot and tasty Spanish dish of PIELLA with fair amount of seafood for flavors. There was also a chicken curry and plenty of salads for other runners. This was followed by the favorite ice cream on a stick.

 

Run Report.  Sweat Hog mentions it was a fair run even that some of the pink arrows did peter out. A debate followed about the check -back arrows.

 

Walk Report.     S-Bends comments on that duration of about 47 min was just right. Botcho was invited to give the Down Down.

 

1. There is a charge from the floor for Bren Gun. He was allowed to tell a story about travelling in Germany in a new Mercedes. A slab of beer placed on the back seat shot forward on sharp braking, puncturing a can of beer, which sprayed all of its contents on the interior of this prestige car. Bent Banana gave the Down Down.

A further floor charge was directed to Ball Point for parking across a neighbors drive way. He was Down Downed by KB.

Our birthday boy this night was our adored Fuller Shit. In true tradition a birthday choirs was sung for his special day.

The RA tells a joke about an old flatulent husband. His wife prepares a turkey roast and she placed the bloody intestines of this bird, into the sleeping shorts of her sleeping husband. He awakens and tries to replace these turkey instines where he thinks they came from him, while asleep.

Arse Nic is thanked from standing in for another runner’s tasks.

 

Booze Report.    Proxy will be the stand in booze master.

 

Please note that there will only be wine next week instead of beer. This will be a wine night and those wishing to bring their own bottle, $5.00 corkage will be asked.

Ice man enquired if any runner will be interested in attending the Saturday Rugby game with a group of mates. Please advise and he will organize a time to meet.

 

GM will be forwarding the recent Southport bike ride passport answers to the City Council to issue the certificate for completion.

A reminder was given about the GM Luncheon on the 4th November. Please book and pay ASAP.

Sir Rabbit was asked about being the cook next week. Sir Rabbit replied, saying he knew nothing of this and that he was doing Fuck All.   No he is not.  Well, let it be known that Fuck All is not into those kinky things.!!

 

Ball Point was pushed into the circle for having his own little circle in progress with others.  A Down Down for this unacceptable behavior. GM now is in favor of the icings as punishment.

It was a rather cool night, right near the tramline. It was quite dark, as the park lights were not turned on. The city council should investigate this. The gas BBQ was also inoperative.   Now we know why we bring our own torches.

Generally all the runners enjoyed the run and walk.

The meal tonight was hot soup, curried sausage with rice and peas. Plenty of buttered bread. Followed up by apple crumble and ice cream.

 

8:15.pm .GM Weekly opened the circle.

He called on the returning runners and our visitor, Green Machine from Melbourne. Fanny Charmer did the down down for these fellows.

Our hare Nasty was called into the circle with Bent Banana who presented our devoted GM Weekly with a shiny new stainless steel hip flash. Now how is the Winston Churchill going to drink hooch while cigar is tight in his lips?

 

Food report.    Given by Nasty who informed us that the nosh portion control was exact.   A down down followed.

GM mentions we have a guest RA tonight. It was no other than Ice Man. He does tell a good story and jokes. Ice Man calls Arse Nik to show his slippers, or what he calls running shoes to the circle.

The two birthday boys, Jig Saw and Ferritt were given a birthday chorus and a warm down down. Fuller Shit agrees to bring more birthday beers next week. We are being spoilt by all the Birthdays. Thanks.

The past adventure bike ride around Southport and the passport answers will be made available to the City Counsel.

A reminder was given about the lunch on the 4^th November. Please put your name on the attendance list with the 13 others.

 

Next weeks run.   This will be at Florida Gardens near to Fanny Chamers residence. So guys stand by for another surprise evening.

Quote by Sweathog, Acting Booze Master and Official R.A.:

‘I go the gym every morning’

Maybe that is why he is multi skilled?

Ask him about it. There is more to it.

The Nosh:

Fuller pronounced it – Delicious!

Course 1: Your choice of pumpkin or onion soup with croutons.

I had onion as I had had homemade pumpkin soup on Sunday evening. My onion soup was delicious and accompanied by buttered bread.

Course 2: Sumptuous baby pies and sausage rolls with hand made sauce – divine.

By this stage the hounds were almost sated and conversation had reduced to a whisper.  Some notables led by Bren Gun went back for seconds and thirds. Indeed, after 3-7 samples many were staggering back to their chairs in the 4-car garage.

But wait – there was more!!

Course 3:

When all had settled back into their seats and were rubbing their tummies or falling asleep, out came trays of Chilli con Carne nestled in soft Taco shells.

Ole!

Surely that was it and Phantom and his team of Older Brother Graeme and Son in Law Peter would be forgiven if they did not offer dessert.

But!!

Course 4:

This time we had to drag ourselves to our feet and move to the inner garage where the Corvette is wrapped. There we were offered Pasta Bolognese – delicious. Bolognese sauce rich in tomato and al dente pasta. Serious trenchermen staggered back with steaming plates while others looked on in awe. Botcho commented that your scribe might be over indulging. But why not? This was good Nosh.

Ok, that was it.

But no!!

Course 5: The host and his helpers then produced carrot cake freshly cooked and with whipped cream. They even provided plate and spoons/forks.

Finally there was no more. The assembled multitude relaxed finally convinced that they had enjoyed a feast to rival the great ones that had taken place in the previous two weeks.

Seamlessly the GM called for the furniture to be packed away to groans from the mob that was hoping for a seated Circle while they recovered.

A table was reserved for the GM to place his paraphernalia and your scribe was also given a table and chair to ensure the Words were recorded correctly.

The Circle:

Run Report:

The runners were picked up in a Maxi Taxi and taken to Royal Pines Resort. On arrival at the entrance they had expectations of a quite night of luxury. Not so – they had to run 5km home with no markings all the while carrying Arsenic who had damaged a fetlock.

 

 

 

 

 

Walk report:

A gentle real estate tour around Sorrento checking out Kwakka’s first house that he built between 1900 & 1976 and baying at the yellow moon, which was at the end of every street. Well marked and a good length. Some tricky detours up lanes that fooled Shat, Sir Slab and Hard On. Even Swindler and VD would have been confused, but they weren’t with us.

GM’s Bike Ride report: 15 riders even though there were plenty of competitive events.

GM’s Lunch: Sunday 4^th November. $45/head. Pay now to ensure a seat. Free everything.

Splinter Lunch Report: at Goa, Tedder Avenue. $125 raised for Drought Appeal. Well done Circumference! Swollen Colon stole your scribe’s machine gun case but was caught by RA and given a Down Down. Thanks for looking after it Swollen.

Ferret was also given a Down Down to mark his success in winning the Bridge to Brisbane Run. Maybe that was the mature age class?

RA told a lovely story about the Pope in Ireland and a wheelchair drunk who missed a miracle.

Next weeks Run: Nasty at Cascade Gardens.

The GM told us ‘ You cannot make the poor richer by making the rich poorer ‘

Author: Winston Churchill

And finally he saved any pain to usual suspects by announcing the end of circle himself

End of Circle – 9.03pm

 

The suburb:

Sorrento was developed during the 70’s by Sir Bruce Small who was mayor around that time – is history repeating itself now with our much loved developer mayor? Sir Bruce had just finished Isle of Capri and had some sand leftover. What to do? Why not another Italian masterpiece?

History suggests he did well. Both suburbs command high prices.

Bruce Small, as he was originally, was a blow-in from Melbourne but born in Sydney. He made his first fortune making Malvern Star [a Melbourne suburb] Bikes and flogging them through his General Accessories wholesale business. At one point he had 100+ stores and 1000+ dealers.

He gave Hubert Opperman his first good bike. Oppy went on to compete in the Tour du France when it went into the night and many other long European races.

In 1956 the Tandem winners in the Melbourne Olympics rode a Malvern Star.

On On,
