The official organ of the Abu Dhabi Island Hash House Harriers AUH4
Hashing is a state of mind- a friendship of kindred spirits joined together for the sole purpose of reliving their childhood or fraternity days, releasing the tensions of everyday life, and generally, acting a fool amongst others who will not judge you or measure you by anything more than your sense of humor."
Stray Dog (From the Global Trash Hash Bible complete reference for the Hash House Harriers)

HARES: Truffles and Big ears at the lagoon
ON BACK: seaside
THE RUN
Most people found the place but several got really lost. Maurice went to the other Officers club and finally most lost souls found the tranquil lagoon for an evenings entertainment
The Hares were called into the circle, and amid repeated nattering offences by groups of Hashers, who, as usual gossiped and denied it!!!
Copy this bit each week. The comments ranged from Shite, to worse than shite, too much fish smell, too much soft sand, too many water features and all the usual whingeing and bitching that ensues. Too long; Too much chalk -2: Nice trees; Soft sand +5: walkers trails 0: Length just right 10; No major roads -5: arrows 15/10; soft sand -3; it was too long; not enough mingling with the bimblers; Check backs -0; Too many hills; too much traffic, too much water; bimblers got lost -6; too much fresh air, not enough false trails; Someone Boked etc etc etc grizzel, bitch, whinge!
Despite the usual natterers and some new ones interfering, unusually the final mark was - miracle of miracles - around 9.31 – well it was exactly 9.31 to be precise. Its amazing how this seems to happen every week!
A system of rotating Songmasters was introduced but most people used any old repertoire, which sounded remarkably like the old faithful, at last giving most Hashers an excuse for not singing and/or singing poorly.
Dancing Queen – Needs a lot more Hares to step up
The largest crowd of natterers was charged & they still didn’t shut up
Truffles for having 3 false trails and then giving clues
HM announced that he was stepping down and now was as good a time as any, so he made 3 nominations. Ballbreaker, Big Ears and Perthy Throwup. These were voted on later in the night - read on…..
- nil - the usual want to be’s
HM then handed over to
What started out to be a squeaky clean night ended up in the worst series of Grassing, dobbing, and hanging s**t on others ever!! The lies were coming in thick & fast.

Jolly Rogerer had an accident and severely cut her tongue (nearly off) requiring many stitches. J-R - I’m sure you heard many nasty comments by now without me adding any more. Hope you are better soon and back into the nattering mode!
Well done to Tin-Tin, Serpil and girls who didn’t run on the Hash but rolled up with some great tasty food
As we have been saying, please let committee know if you are bringing Virgins as we could be embarrassed for food if we have an influx of extras. We don’t want anyone to have to do a “loaves and fishes” each week.
The unbiased vote for the new GM was held and Ballbreaker & Perthy Throwup removed their nominations so
Well done to

The Buraimi Hotel is very client friendly, they have no problems with guests having evening BBQ's outside their chalets and drinking their own beverages. I have cleared this with the new hotel manager and he is compliant as long as we use their bar some of the time. I have discussed this with our Hash and we have agreed that at the evening BBQ we will drink only the hotel drinks (no coolboxes at the tables) The hotel have agreed reasonable prices for their drinks, beer AED 12/can, wine(red or white) AED 60/bottle.
Hope to see some of you guys there.

July end?? – a progressive dinner
A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there was no afterlife.
After a long life, the husband was the first to go, and true to his word he made contact, "Mary. Mary."
"Is that you, Fred?"
“Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
"What's it like?"
"Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex, I have breakfast, off to the golf course, I have sex, I bathe in the sun, and then I have sex twice.
Have lunch, another romp around the golf course, then sex pretty much all afternoon. After supper, golf course again. Then have sex until late at night. The next day it starts again."
"Oh, Fred you surely must be in heaven."
"Umm, not exactly, I'm a rabbit near Bunbury."
Please recycle all cans – Perthy will take all cans back to assist their Harriss with an early return to Bangladesh – so please put all food scraps in a separate bag
If you haven’t Hared any runs or hosted the Down downs Dancing Queen 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
Don’t forget to look up the AUH4 website. Many thanks to Sheila for putting so much effort into a GREAT website - and check out any incriminating photos of yourself!!
