Run 1502
THE “ABU DHABI GOLF CLUB ” RUN

Monday: 8th April 2007
HARES: Russell, Carpet Burns and Matthew
ON BACK: Maison Sullivan

THE RUN
30 Hashers came out of the woodwork to have a stickybeak at the golf club – which they didn’t get. The Motley crew assembled in the car park near the Abu dhabi golf club and most followed instructions (now there’s a first) The rest got lost on 25th street . They were instructed to follow the same coloured chalk (cheap bast**ds) for runners and bimblers. The miserable sinners were called up so Curtis could issue instructions and rally the troops. We just wish he would stand on a box so we could see him!!!!
The AUH4 GM OOZE ‘EE was missing in action again. Seconds later the aforesaid made a cameo entrance – a BLAB again! I just copy this bit each week!

They braved the roads, golf balls, and lack of chalk or anything. There weren’t 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 (an understatement) and easy to find check back marks (well there were a lot of them). There was no crossing of any major roads, a little traffic, almost no soft sand, lots of racing - gasp! and only a few difficulties finding the arrows as the light began to fail.

THE RUN – VERDICT
Too long; Shite; No chalk -2: 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 many cemeteries; bimblers got lost -6; too much fresh air, not enough false trails; more whinging, moaning and grumbling for an excellent score of 9.31

THE HARES
Despite the usual verbal pressure from several chatterboxes and lack of respect for the GM, HM ‘Ooz ‘Ee got the gathering underway and gave down-downs to Russell, Carpet Burns and Matthew an excellent run and the longest chalk mark ever

SOME POLITICALLY INCORRECT HUMOUR
A Middle Eastern chap was seated next to an Australian on a flight from London to Melbourne.
After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken.
The Aussie asked for a rum and coke, which was brought and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the Middle Eastern chap if he too would like a drink.
He replied in disgust,
“I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips."
The Aussie then handed his drink back to the attendant and said,
"WOW me too, I didn't know we had a choice."
