Run 1187, 17 January 2007 Hare: Rolf Harris Venue: Burnley Park, enter off Park St
I know you are all expecting transmission to be back to normal this week with The Shah’s return, but he’s off again, this time to fight bushfires.
The run was set from Burnley Park, complete with the promised adventure playground. Unfortunately no one remembered to bring any children with them so Chiko had the playground to himself. As we collectively cast our eyes skyward, hoping the rain would hold off for an hour or so, the pack left the park. The walkers run ran through the streets of Burnley and along the Yarra. The runners run ran through the streets of Burnley and along the Yarra, and probably through some more streets of Burnley, but you’ll have to ask a runner about that bit. We returned to a magnificent spread of food, and a few drops of rain. Cooch described the run as “adventurous” and the food as “pretty fantastic”. Klingon gave the run 27 out of 29. Significant Run: Prince : 200 runs. Visitors: Maggot, Dripping Wet, and Lubang Oz Returnees: The Shah, Lizard, Sudsy, Boxy Charges from the run: Astro for not following arrows and leading the pack astray – even though he had the map! The Shah, for when Cheesecake asked him what he did whilst he was away (brave question, as Shah got married on 29/12), The Shah replied he ‘got his wisdom teeth out’. Prince (also) for leading the pack astray. Rolf for giving bread to the magpies, and not waiting for GG. Maggot and Dripping Wet, who were the only hashers in singlets, for pointing out that it wasn’t as cold as Singapore’s airconditioned offices. Snowbitch for justifying throwing beetroot juice onto a tree by saying ‘it was a Red Gum’. Udder and Pointy because England won a cricket match. Prince and Deeper Because New Zealand got beaten by England in the cricket. Pointy – a pom – wearing a t-shirt with a map of NZ on it. The Shah – again – for having his wisdom teeth out with his wife, three days after getting married. Whippet for serving warm beer. The circle concluded with two songs – a song for E’n’B and Cooch (sung so sweetly by Deeper, it was enough to bring a tear to the eye), and the Hash song.
Sooty update: I spoke to Sooty on Thursday. He was still at Knox Private Hospital, but he expected to move to Donvale Rehabilitation Hospital (1119 Doncaster Rd 9841 1400) this week. He says he’s up for a chat, so give him a call.
