You will be pleased to hear that The Rope is back and reporting the truth about the run. I was there and completed (most of) the run. There were some who were put off by the choice of location but in fact it took no longer to get there than some of the runs off the Jagorawi. The country is good for running if not a little hilly and is described as Bogor Hash country, whatever that means. Anyway we were honoured with the presence of four of them including an unmentionable. The paper led us up to the left on the road outside the Rumah Makan Raffles, so it was fairly certain to be a leftie. The trail headed in to the country and had most(except FRBs) puffing and panting as we met one hill after the next. The paper was the long stringy stuff and whether Tarzan and Bullshit had laid lots of small trails or there was some relaying of paper we will probably never find out. However there were some groans about the lack of arrows to compensate for the re-laid paper. Arrows would definitely have helped.

The country is fairly well planted and being developed in parts as the jungle remembered fondly by some of the older hashers has been flattened. There was some complaints from Angie – I think he must have been on a different run. Fucking Gladys enjoyed the run especially as he reckoned that he got all the check-backs. Pretty boy thought it was a very nice run but what were those pits for – wild pig traps? He must have been off paper. Jonesy thought there were too many hills and that was only in the car park. The rope thought it an excellent run whilst fucking Wendy despite the relaid paper and not enough of it, said it was pretty fucking good. BB noticed the scenic aspects whereas Angie whinged about the biggest misuse of good country for a long time and was duly iced for his comments. Joop commented that the views used to be obstructed by trees – quote of the year? HM declared it a very good run.

A late start as the Circle was moved to prevent the HM/RA/MM and others having to shout over the noise of the co-located generator. This also avoided the Hashers delicate lungs from being polluted by the noxious fumes. The HM started in full swing awarding DDs to all and sundry – Magic Dragon and Bolt-1-On being the first followed swiftly by two of the Bogor boys for not singing and then by Holy Joop. Returners were numerous – Herpes, The Rope, Tommy 2 Years, Bogor Doug, Botaksan, Tom Jones, Dripper, F. Gladys, Superbrat who were all duly rewarded with the amber fluid as were the visitors from Bogor, Dylan, Chris and Brat.

The announcements were interspersed with rewards for Herpes, Holy Joop, Angie, Magic Dragon and Dylan. MM eventually got started with "I know a Bear that you All Know" only to be brought to a grinding halt by B1O getting the words and tune wrong. He was able to enjoy a joke(?) about 3 brave mice from Hardcase whilst resting on the ice. Hardcase and the joke enjoyer Witless were rewarded for the so-called joke. The sinning continued with awards for Tarzan (for disturbing the RA), Jonesy (the faithless one taking his umbrella on the run), Superbrat and Bullshit (for not drinking the amber nectar), The Rope, Witless, Holy and Dripper (for drinking too much of the amber nectar), Tarzan (for charging), Dripper (for recognition of his good work in Eastern Indonesia, somewhere near East Timor), Magic Dragon (Did he say Etty More?) and also Fucking Gladys for singing another Hash’s DD song.

Angie performed an expose by Eyes Watering Snoopers into something completely unmemorable but connected with some bank scandal but for which BB was found guilty. The Bogor Boys were punished with DDs (I thought it was supposed to be a reward) for bringing Pussy to the Hash. Fucking Gladys entertained with his version of the S & M Man. And so it carried on into the night way past 8.00. Prick of the week was Colonel Bloodknock, otherwise known as Max Boyce.

If you did not get a mention above, you were obviously not there or so fucking inconspicuous that do you really matter. Anyway thanks to Angie for his efforts at originality and to Fucking Gladys for his song, joke and story about Hardcase at the Tambora (Ah! Those were the days).
