THE “COLD INLAND” RUN
Monday: 12th February 2007
HARES: RUSSELL AND MATTHEW SULLIVAN
ON BACK: THE SULLIVANS HOUSE
THE RUN
About 30 odd – some very odd - Hashers assembled off the island in Khalidia A
west side at the end of Al Saaaaaaada street. A new concept was introduced by Russell – arrows with “double shafts” which created quite a stir.
They braved the sand, cold, remoteness darkness, and lack of chalk or anything.
The bimblers set off & Immediately Daisy the dog gave her verdict that the walk was crap. At least she waited until the first corner! Matthew did a great job setting the trail, walking daisy and making sure the Bimblers found the arrows – (with single shafts).
Apparently on the run there were too many chalk marks, lots of long false trails and check backs (even the Hares lost count) 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).
THE RUN – VERDICT
Rubbish, 3rd worst, a great walk, too much soft sand and too much shiggy, No chalk – too cryptic “No weddings? -10: Soft sand +5: walkers trails 0: Length just right 10: No fairy? lights -5, No major roads -5: arrows 15/10; soft sand -3; it was too long; not enough mingling with the bimblers; bimblers got lost +6; too much fresh air, no false trails; more whinging, moaning and grumbling for an excellent score of 9.31

SOME POLITICALLY INCORRECT HUMOUR
James Bond
A very confident James Bond walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance, then casually looks at his watch for a moment.
The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?"
"No," he replies, "Q has just given me this state-of-the- art watch. I was just testing it."
The intrigued woman says, "A state-of-the-art watch?
What's so special about it?"
Bond explains, "It uses alpha waves to talks to me telepathically."
The lady says, "What's it telling you now?"
"Well, it says you're not wearing any knickers...."
The woman giggles and replies," Well it must be broken because I am wearing knickers!"
Bond smirks, taps his watch and says, "Bloody thing's an hour fast."
