ONoN The Punchbowl

TOSSER ’S TOPSY-TURVY

TRAIL TORMENTS THE

TROOPS

Tosser’s first check some

years ago was solved by

finding some other hare’s flour

so that we all ran the wrong

route. Well, all but Ear

Trumpet. Today we could only

stumble upon Tosser’s first

check by chance, encouraged

by Ear Trumpet (who had no

intention of joining us) to

persevere on the only path

apparent. We arrived at

Tosser’s check circle from the

wrong direction, and found

flour scattered about on all

sides; someone had marked the

trail through, incorrectly. So

we milled around miserably

until a bright spark (Clutching

Hand?) with a gift for lateral

thinking came upon flour

elsewhere and away we went.

The quirks of the trail were

far from exhausted. At times

we would run a mile before

the next check, at others the

checks were one beside the

other. One back check might

be solved only to become a

different back check. We

ended up most wonderfully

strung out; by shrugging off

the threats of cows I managed

to leave the pack, more

impressed by these beasts than

I, and rejoin as a tail-ender the

front runners whom I had

been admiring earlier: most

especially Made to Come, but

also Simple, Sling Shot, No

Nookie, Atalanta, Bionic..... I

must admit I had stayed in

touch chiefly by running on

diagonals across stubble while

they persevered round the

perimeters. Once back at the

pub I was astonished to see

not just the Knitting Circle but

rather as a mixture of General

Woundwort and the Duke of

Plaza Toro. But by all means

make your own suggestions.

We had various visitors and

returnees, one of these

Ringpull. The RA decided the

five octogenarians were

picturesque enough to merit

calling in for down-downs;

since we are loyal attendees

this will prove costly in beer if

we are regularly to be called

in. Bonn Bugle corrected a

word I used last week, “mini-

skirt”; it seems I should have

written “skort”, one of these

composite words so popular

these days, for skirt and

shorts.

Well, the weather had stayed

fair, though the showers the

previous day had given the

paths that fr i sson o f

slipperiness which suggests

that autumn and winter mud

are almost upon us. We ran a

left-hander through territory

largely unfamiliar and made

the most of our morning. The

landlord had our cars expelled

from his car park; I am sure

hashers drink more per head

than his regulars, but then we

are only there once in a blue

moon. Many years back a

landlord in Mytchett expelled

us all after a Timbo trail for

our down-downs in his car

park, so surrendering much

lucrative trade to his pique; it

is true that in those distant

days a down-down was a pint

or more, not the pathetic

pittance which passes for a

drink nowadays. The hare at

one time even had to empty a

rubber duck; I still shudder at

the recollection.

Are you not impressed by

the snarling and ill humour on

display in Huangzhou? Just as

Leave leaders were basking in

t h e p o s t - r e f e r e n d u m

tranquillity and sunshine, the

growling has begun, from

Obama, from the Japanese, to

say nothing of the barely

concealed hostility of the

Chinese. Once we used to

grumble at US hegemony;

alas, most of us will have met

our Maker before the

appalling consequences of

Chinese hegemony begin to

kick in. Oh, how people will

hanker for the days of

American dominance!

ON ON FRB

MOA 1

several reputable hashers

arrive in exactly the wrong

direction, while the struggle of

stragglers who had stuck to

flour brought many in 20

minutes late, notably our RA.

Now that the hash has a

Snoopy you may have

wondered with whom the

other characters can be

identified. Bonn Bugle is of

course a natural for Lucy van

Pelt. I see Charlie Brown, that

gentle, friendly, guileless

person, as J.Arthur, and Teq

as Linus; our GM I identify

with Peppermint Pattie, and

No Nookie (or Spingo?) as her

sidekick Marcia. You may

regard me as Woodstock,

wittering and twittering on

incomprehensibly.

And our Uncle Gerry? I do

not find him in Schulz, but
