Run 1482
THE “GREEN ARROW” RUN

Date: Monday 4th December
Hares: Humpty Dumpty, Justine and Ken
On Back: Chris & Elbies

The Run
23 brave souls braved the wet and windy weather and set off on the trail around the marina mall island. Humpty Dumpty told one & all we were to follow GREEN chalk. Hares Humpty, Justine & Ken set us off on another TRAIL . With clear instructions that we must follow 3 arrows and most of them green. Really easy to see whilst dodging taxis and pedestrians in the dark at night – right!
Immediately the acolytes were confused and went shopping.
There were lots of clear chalk marks, lots of long false trails which even had the knitting circle in tow on several occasions until they became immediately lost and easy to find check back marks (well there were a lot of them) no crossing of any major roads, almost no soft sand, and only a few difficulties finding the arrows as the light began to fail (five minutes after we starte) Cold wind, sudden edge drop offs, cocktail parties and Embassy villas

The Run – Verdict
No arrows – “good ‘cos we can just go for a run” +5; Chalk +2: Soft sand +5: Too much ocean: -4; Length just right 10: Needed night goggles: arrows 15/10; soft sand -3; it was too long; not enough mingling with the bimblers; too much ocean; bimblers got lost -6; too much chalk & flour; more whinging, moaning and grumbling for an excellent score of 9.5

Khalifah Hospital car park (previously referred to as Sheik Zayed or Al Jazeera Hospital). Whatever it's called, it's at the corner of Al Karamah St (24th street) and Bateen St (13th Street). Entry to the car park is from Al Karamah Street.
On Back: 'Ooz 'Ee & Pashmina's - along the Corniche towards the Hilton, turn left at 32nd St., then 2nd Right into “green” 3rd St. We are in Villa T10 by the pedestrian crossing sign. Parking is difficult so best to use the car park as you leave the Corniche (take the 1st right). Also, they are knocking down the Golden Fish building adjacent to our turn-off, and the road may be closed...
If lost: Call Chris on 050-614 3505


Don’t forget – Number have been climbing so if you are bringing Virgins along please let Hash committee know as we would hate to be embarrassed by shortage of food and even worse run out of Hash Water

A guy phones up his Boss, but gets the bosses' wife instead.
"I'm afraid he died last week." she explains.
The next day the man calls again and asks for the boss.
"I told you" the wife replies, "he died last week."
The next day he calls again and once more asks to Speak to his boss.
By this time the wife is getting upset and shouts,
"I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU TWICE, MY HUSBAND, YOUR BOSS, DIED LAST WEEK! WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING?"
He replied laughing, "I just love hearing it..."
