KOH SAMUI HASH HOUSE HARRIERS
November 07, 2009
(PHUKET RUN NUMBER 1235)
HARE :Somebody in Phuket
This week we travelled to Phuket to take part in their hash and find out where we are going wrong, nonsense we do our hash perfectly!!!
About twenty four Samui Hashers made the journey over, most by car only one couple by air. No dogs came, which is just as well since there were so many on the Phuket Hash anyway.
We stayed at the ExPat hotel, Patong Beach area. Most arrived on Friday evening a few on Saturday. We had a practise circle on chairs by the poolside on Friday evening, prior to going out for food, what a good idea that was!!!
Saturday the Hash will put on a bus to take us to the site leaving at 2.30 sharp. Only a few people from the Phuket Hash used this transport and 20 of the Samui Hashers. When we were told bus, thinking we are in the big metropolis we kind of expected an air conditioned coach. Should have known better it was a local bus, good enough for us country bumpkins.
Getting back to this hotel, who recommended it, who said there was a function at Fawlty Towers, who did not come?????
The GM chose not to stay with us, did he have prior knowledge of this hotel or he simply did not want to mix with the riff raff??
There was no function at Fawlty Towers, it was closed for renovations. Some of the rooms in the hotel left a lot to be desired and one guy was charged twice for the same thing.
We all arrive safely at the site, hundreds of cars and even more people, a few vendors selling food and drink and of course the habadashers.
The run started at 16.00 sharp. With upwards of 100 runners/walkers and lots and lots of dogs.
Runners go off first on multi coloured paper, up a hill and away, next the walkers, on pink paper for the first section and then when they join the runners on multi coloured paper. Up a big hill, meet up with the runners on a narrow track with lots of roots etc. A bit difficult for the runners to pass but they managed it.
Everyone was back in about an hour, some of them looking a bit worse for wear.
GM calls the circle
Now, with so many Hashers this was a bit chaotic as you can imagine, standing three deep in some parts.
AND they were not only drinking in the circle, they were eating, talking, smoking, boy oh!!!!
AND AND the scribe was sitting on a chair making notes!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME GM!!!
In fact the whole Hash mismanagement were on the edge of the circle in chairs!!! But then again the average age was about 100, can you blame them.
The Hares are in the circle and the run was voted a goodun.
We then go through a whole bunch of sinners and miscreants from the Phuket Hash.
The GM welcomed the Samui Hashers to their venue, warning all of his comrades to lock their cars and check their pockets, cheeky sod!!
Samui GM and Phuket GM swap t-shirts, not a nice sight to behold, two semi naked GMs!!!!!
More misbehaviours in the circle, non of course from Samui since we know how to behave!!!
Joker
The joker entertained us with a few new jokes a few old ones but all good fun, he even put his wife and son in. Apparently his wife preferred to buy new wigs instead of paying the electric bill, what is wrong with that??
Songs
The Samui men are called into the circle with the Phuket phoo ying. The songster then proceeds to sing supercalflagelistic etc etc while the Samui men make complete and utter prats of themselves, so what is new there you ask.
Now we have Wibbly wobbly and hash flash in. They had been chatting up the Phuket GM, a handsome Scottish guy who I believe goes by the name Gorgeous. They claim it was in the interests of hash business????? Hash flash is taking photos of his very rude t-shirt, are you sure it was the t-shirt? The GM's wife said he could not wear it again, she hated it, so like every good and obedient husband he obeyed his wife. Stripped off his t-shirt and gave it to our hash flash. She would not take hers off and put his on top of her own.
Tribute to Horn Loser
A few of the Phuket Hashers had been over on Samui for the first Samui run, one of them the acting RA, Rosie, who enquired after a previous Samui Hasher, Horn loser, who is now unable to hash due to illness. There was a toast to him and his hashing days, thank you.
Bath wader, serving beer expressed a desire to come to the Samui Hash sometime in the future, I am sure that can be accomplished.
All Samui Hashers are in again, god only knows why but what the hell!! Are we going to complain, not likely.
For some unknown reason B-liar managed to get himself on ice. They use a solid block of ice as opposed to loose stuff.
GM takes care of any other business, thanks us for coming and ends the circle.
As the bus is leaving B-liar decides to steal the ice, but does not keep it, chucks it out of the bus after a couple of bends. What was it the Phuket GM warned them about????? B-liar!!!!
A few things noted on the Phuket hash.
The Hash mismanagement sit in the circle.
Hares do not pay for that day AND are given free beer to a pre agreed maximum. Was 24 but a sponsor pulled out it is now only 16 or 18?
They have sponsors
They all pay the same fee, except children, who have a reduced fee
A lot of them, when they have had enough just leave!!!!
