Comfy chair next to a blazing fire.....
....plus mild at £1.70 a pint........McWot's never had it so good!

Dad claims seniority rights,,,,,
...while that predator of predators Moby Dick closes in for the kill.....
"Hash chips!" the cry was heard.......
...and your roving reporter was f'f'fin quick to not only get this rare shot for you, but to also pile up his own plate before the rush as well....
Yet another problem Houston.....
...the header pic has been made super large ....so until we can rectify the fault we will dispense with header pics.......normal service will be resumed as soon.....
My son (dedicated to Inglis Drever)...
...makes me so proud.....seen here winning unchallenged a hilly/undulating 3 mile 'Fun' run in 14 mins 04 secs (still the record and unlikely to be beaten for many years.....it brings a tear to this jaundiced eye 'o mine.....
I am now recovering from....
....an absolutely exhausting Cheltenham NH Festival. The abandonment on Wednesday (high winds) meant that Thursday and Friday would have 10 and 9 races to make up the programme. The header pic is retained with no apology as it signifies the thrilling and record breaking exploit of INGLIS DREVER in winning the Stayers Hurdle for three years in a row.....'What has this got to do with the Hash' you might well say.....well, quite simply, as Wigwam is away for the next 3 weeks at InterHash, there is no one to keep CRUISEDOG in restraint and we will probably run riot with no immediate come back......BUT, my petulant penguins, I have compensation aplenty awaiting you, so stay tuned to this channel.....I am ready to rolllllll......

Did you like that?
The header from hell........it surprised me too........INGLIS DREVER won the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham this afternoon for an unprecedented third time in a row.......you get the picture? A few of you will, suffice it to say, I have been celebrating a great day......sigh.....the caption for the above header pic is quite simply: 'The crowd rises to a great CHAMPION' ....sigh..... I've had a good day......

Not many people know that.......
...in the filming of the Italian Job a cameraman was killed filming too close to the minis test driving over the ramp and hitting the bricks......a stray flying brick hit him and he was killed instantly. When they re shot the scene, they used remote controlled cameras which in hind bloody sight they should have in the first place....
I LOVE IT!
There it was.....Charlie Croker (Michael Caine) on the phone to Camp Freddie........
Charlie: "But this job is BIG.." Camp Freddie: "You wouldn't even know how to spell 'big', Charlie.." Charlie looks down the phone receiver in feigned amazement and says: "B - I -G....!" So simple, but the delivery is faultless and ideal for a 'ham' like Caine.
Italian Job best quote.....
...and it isn't even mentioned in all the official sites.......just delight in finding the quotes that the 'experts' miss time and time again......wait for it......
9.50 pm Tonight!
On Sky Classics 308....The Italian Job aka "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

"There'll always be an England....
....And England shall be free, If England means as much to you as England means to me...."
Mouldy's got so many nominations....
...he's writing them down on a beer mat.......and I kid you not.....
It's Little Red Riding Hood.....
...as you will shortly see when Hornie takes off the 'hood' .......sorry about the blur centre.....
The smile after is the same as......
...the one before the run......Tent Pole and Lust In Tent return......
That's the spirit lads, wish I could be.....
...with you, but I've just remembered an urgent appointment at the bar.....
Are you beginning to get the picture now....
...regarding the in slightly clement weather conditions.....?
How is it Mouldy, that the smudge....
...doesn't appear on your pic? But does on all subsequent pics......

Ruddy hell!
Just scanned pics for this evening and have spotted the fatal f'f'fin flaw.......a flippin' smudge on the lens which seems to have appeared on all the pics! Will have to send in my Seraph Software to salvage what I can.......I don't know Sooty, what do you think Sweep?
It's the OLD Thatched Inn tonight....
...at Bovey Tracey to be precise, I had it posted as The Thatched Inn before
Somewhere out there......
Arbie and Wetfart are battling gallantly against gale force winds and driving rain squalls to lay our trail from the Old Thatched Inn at Bovey Tracey tonight.....but that's nothing new to them as they are veterans of that actually washed out hash from The Cleeve at Lustleigh. Good luck lads and we'll see you later.

Grizzly hashers
Hi Bluebird,
A few of us did the Grizzly today! Here are a few pics, you may like to put a couple on the Blog.
There were representatives from all the local hashes. Those that are seen at TVH3 include: Myself, Rambo,Doris, Poacher, Forrest Stump, Archangel, Manpig, Aladin, Lurch, Tightarse, Roger the Cabin Boy, Henpecked (and his wife who runs with Ash Hash; "Free Range").
There may have been a few more that I didn't notice or have forgotten.
The Photos were taken by Miss Whiplash, Deep Seaman was there to welcome us across the Finish Line, Flying Focker and Painted Pussy were seen there too for a while.
On On
Cinders
While I've been wittering on......
..the lads and lasses have returned from the Grizzly....got a few pics from Cinderfella...
Ignore the follow up quote......
..."And a bayonet Sir! With some guts behind it!" not nearly so good....
Got the best quote for 'Zulu' .....
And it comes right at the end 'Enry and you'll just love it......if you're watching it now (312 Sky) I remember it WAY before it comes...... (trust me, I AM an expert....)
".....the Zulus have gone, all of 'em. It's a miracle!" "If it's a miracle, it's a short chamber, Boxer, Henry, point 45 calibre miracle...." don't you just love that one....! And it wasn't Michael 'You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off' Caine either, it was Stanley Baker...twice the actor Caine ever was.....
Tomorrow's hash
Now you do know where The Thatched Inn is don't you? The bashers know it well, were there last Thursday for a curry night.......but for the rest of you 'Dolphin drunk' dummies, here's where it is....
Drive past The Dolphin on your left and turn into the car park about a 100 metres further along on your right, the Thatched Inn is right THERE adjacent to the car park....even an idiot can't miss it....but that doesn't mean much as we have a few on every hash........watching Zulu (1964) now for the 58th time.......see if you can spot the Zulu warrior wearing a modern day wrist watch!
Let's see what the best quotes are.......Michael Caine is favourite to supply the most.....surely...
and don't call me Shir......
We're battening down the hatches....
...way out here in the sticks......this could be the last stand for my eucalyptus monster tree perched precariously on my boundary. Just finished putting in 2 more heavy duty guy ropes to give it a better chance......
