Run 1490
THE “LOST AT THE TOP END” RUN

Monday 22nd January 2007
HARES: Jolly Rogerer and Kevin
ON BACK: The Rabbit Hutch

THE RUN
About 30 brave souls assembled across the road (near a mosque - Oh really?) from the British Embassy. They braved the cold, darkness, and lack of chalk or anything. There were lots of clear green & yellow 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, a little traffic, almost no soft sand, and only a few difficulties finding the arrows as the light began to fail (five minutes after we started).
In order for the Antipodeans to gain access to the British Embassy, Perthy Throwup gave all Aussies a crash course practicing saying “Ullo Guvnor, Gor Blimey and Mines a pint” It didn’t work - we were busted

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: No major roads -5: 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 9.31

THE HARES
Despite immense verbal pressure from several chatterboxes and lack of respect for the GM, HM ‘Ooz ‘Ee got the gathering underway and gave down-downs to Kevin and Jolly Rogerer.
Jolly Rogerer claimed the “kids had rubbed out the chalk”

VIRGINS
Elisabeth, Cheree and Michael from Gods own cricketing country, Dan, Aaron and Doc from the good ‘Ol USA

LEAVERS
Kevin - back to blighty.

THE PROGRESSIVE DINNER
Was a great night out and many thanks to Ballbreaker for organising it. Only 1 charge resulted from this prestigious night. Who were the Hashers who went to sleep for an hour between main course & sweets???? You only did that sort of thing when teenagers!

The GM, Ooze EE had several charges
• Bronwyn for new shoes
• Pashmina for wanting to know the surname of the GM - when she is married to him
• Michael & Ken for hats in the circle

The RA, Dancing Queen, as he is wont, proceeded to pick on numerous innocent Hashers
• Pashmina for wanting to go carpet shopping when lost
• All Brits for the Pommy embassy selling Fosters!!
• Karl for phone on Hash
• OoZE ‘ee for being a back seat driver
• Perthy Throwup for managing to bimble with 5 women spanning 5 age groups and surviving

NEXT WEEKS RUN - Run no. 1491:
Monday 22th January 2007
Hares: 'Ooz 'Ee & Paul Dunnage
Run – Car park near the Williams' Villa - take 32nd street from the Corniche, and immediately first right before the villas into “Green sign" 1st Street. Turn right again and park in the car park next to the Corniche. On Back – The Williams' Villa (T10) - as above but take the second right (into “Green sign" 3rd Street), but best to take the first right and park next to the Corniche. i.e. leave your car in the car park and walk. Villa T 10 is about 6 houses along on the right - look for the pedestrian crossing sign. It is right outside. If you need more directions, call me on 050-415 7740.

Don’t forget –
• If you haven’t Hared any runs or hosted the Down downs committee would like to talk to you. We all need to take our turns
• Numbers 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

Oman Hash are having a hash on Jebel Akhdar and unfortunately it clashes with our 1500th Hash.

Some Politically Incorrect Humour A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel " After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
