There were more bloody arrows than Custer’s last stand, or was it the Battle of Agincourt. So said the Hashers during the run analysis. These two Hares are real pros having been at this game for many a run. The country chosen was good running country and gave the Hares chance to lead the pack all over the place. Lots of paper not so many checks but LOTS OF ARROWS. It had all the signs of being a rightie as we headed off to the left towards the toll road. A cunning loop over the river and back had Angie stranded on the far side. Was this going to be the third run in a row where Angie arrived after 7.00 p.m.?

Ilham thought the country was beautiful and despite being a typical Vatican Rag Run, was excellent. NO doubt Ilham avoided the double river crossing. Anguish thought the run was 70% alright and than the crappy bits were when he was off paper. Magic Dragon thought it a great run and Dripper was delighted not to have got lost so it was a great run. Maandi enjoyed the good long run but Witless Wanker complained of a Pussy run with too many arrows. Hash Master Sheepskin was confused about the three ON-IN arrows but nevertheless declared it a good run.

This unworthy scribe actually thought it was an excellent run although a little long. The country around Cimanggis and Emeralda in particular is really good but used quite often by Jakarta Hashes in general. The Hares had used the country well and avoided the barren wastes which Angie found. There could have been more checks especially early in the run but all except Vibrator managed to find their way back before the circle started.

Did anyone see the Jakarta Post on Sunday and the picture of Inspector Gadget promoting his new film? It was shame he is now enjoying the winter weather and not able to get his DD for excessive immodesty. Instead the HM fired off a volley of DDS – Angie for getting back in timely fashion, Ad de Leeuw for being inappropriately dressed for the occasion, Tarzan for being a dead ringer for the King of Morocco who is , well, dead!, Sadist for running past the HM, Mudguard, Fanny, Hardcase, Which Wanker and Angie to represent the rugby losers, Fucking Wendy to represent the US soccer team who won and Dripper, Witless, Dr. Jerker, BB, Magic Dragon and Crusty Nuts for some cricket event.

Returners were At The Loo, Dalai Lama, Tom Hartberger (Is that his real name or his Hash name?), John Kembuan, Sadist, Which Wanker, Dr. Jerker and Dripper. New Members were Copper Dick and Andrew Wilson (Motts). The committee this week were also rewarded as is now customary, Fanny (Joint), Crusty Nuts (MM), The Rope (Scribe), Jungle Fucker (Flash), Jonesy (Trash), Hardcase (Cash), Anguish (RA)

The Hares were called in to account for the run. The event was to celebrate MGM’s 50^th and Vatican Rags 21^st. Birthday and years in Indonesia, that is. The run was discussed and the Hares suitably rewarded. Plates of makan started appearing thanks to MGM who seemed to have a full kitchen working away at the back of the circle. Unfortunately for Angie, Fanny, Hardcase and Itchikok, they ignored the primary rule of eating in Indonesia and chose to eat with their left hands. DDs for them. MM led a rendition of "I’ve Never Seen a Tattoo There Before" and "Bring Back My Dead Whore To Me"

Time for more DDs – for Dripper who was given three of them for Manchester United winning nearly everything going. But wait, these were given to those in the team’s colours being Tarzan, Fanny and Hardcase. Why did no one notice that Dripper was not even wearing his favourite obsession’s colours? Tarzan selected Anguish as the Consultant who would save Pertamina and Herpes advised that At the Loo’s new job was shit shovelling in Bali. Some people have all the luck! At the Loo was called on to give us a song and struggled through "Ship Ahoy" At this stage the Hares produced bowls of food on the sacred Anker table. They were of course called on for DDs with the makan that had appeared. The circle’s proceedings were brought to a grinding halt whilst everyone enjoyed the excellent food from MGM and his team of travelling cooks.

The co-hare sang one of his favourites "If Only I Had Done All The Things….". This was interrupted by Vibrator a somewhat late returner at 7.30. We had a rendition of "The Girl from Balitimore" before the Hare told us his cosmetic surgery/hairy chest joke.
