Bogie.....

...in reflective mood at the Teign Valley Golf Club.

It's neck and neck......

....for the double 5o badge downdown. Flying Fokker and Painted Pussy. Teapot looks on.

Fallen Woman presents 'Bermuda' Bobby...

....to his adoring 'public'.

Piddler enjoying pint...

...at the AGPU.

But help me out here guys.....

....WHO is that wally top right?

Meanwhile, still in Teapot's garage.....

.....Hornie and Pork Torpedo have stripped down to the bare essentials.

Oh my! That is.....

....a big red one! (Cat Flap left, Honeydew centre and I think Melon Picker right) By the way, this was taken in Teapot's garage!

WANTED! This wally is dangerous

Melon Picker, the early days.......still obviously learning....

Great Hash quotes of 2007

Now this is my game, so I'll arrange the chart order. The list will be added to as soon as I hear other contenders or others are said in the remaining weeks of 2007. To qualify, a quote has to be actually said on the hash or in the pub later. Here they are then:

1 "Let the virgins have it free!" Flip Flop at the AGPU Nov 19

2 "And did he fart?" Pottsie at The Old Smokey House July 30

3 "Ooh, I've just been pricked!" Smash/Grab/No. 2 at the Firehash Feb 26

4 "We should cut their willy off!" Rearender at The Cott Inn Jan 22

5 "Don't fall off your perch, Lurch!" Bluebird at The Old Smokey House July 30

6 "On on, you wallybrains!" nameless idiot at Trenchford Res. Sept 10

Are you sure.....

...you've got enough badges, Migman? Another one soon when he reaches 600 runs.

I know, it's Barbie Pink again!

Never Ready (I think)...and.....

...thanks for the Checkin' Chicken hat on AGPU night.....apparently I was the only hasher he knew there that night......and he had to ask what MY name was first too! Good lad! And one more thing, stop trying to get into the picture, Piddler!

Hammerhead and....

...Oakley, the hash hound from hell! (Sorry I keep calling you 'headbanger'!)

Man Pig is fast closing in .....

....for his 100 run badge.

Gazunder.....

....listens attentively at this year's AGPU.

Heidi........the FRB of all FRBs........

....I think I'll have to post a Hash 'Glossary' of terms, especially for the newer hashers...
FRB: Front running bastard. Affectionally so called by the less speedy hasher. Heidi (above) was your man for tough, off road ("Is there anything else?" Rambo) hashing. His booming call: "ON ON!" echoed down the valleys, sang timeless in the rain.....(extract courtesy of one of my paperbacks) Heidi was a hard man in his rugby days and boy, did he know how to hash...

The party season is nigh for The Party Hash

Three weeks until the Christmas Draw at The Wild Goose on December 10th and the following week it's our Christmas Party at The Forde Hall Social Club, Newton Abbot!

Yes, the draw is at The Wild Goose AGAIN! "WHY?" I hear you ask. Very simple. The people who have to do ALL the work, buying/stockpiling/itemising/transporting etc. etc., find that it relieves a tiny bit of pressure by having a venue convenient not only to them, but a suitable midway point for most TVH3 hashers to get to. Get it? Got it! Good!

My, we are tetchy tonight, aren't we? Yeh, well, I've noticed that quite often, the moaners of the Hash and in general, now I come to think about it, are the very people that do the least in terms of constructive help. I'll just let you chew on that while I get a can from the fridge......

Ah, that's better! I don't know quite what happened just then, a sort of crimson haze momentarily clouded my usually durable sense of humour!

For the new hashers we have most welcomely received fairly recently, I'll be letting you know about the 'Treasure Hunt' we have on Draw night. Details when I think them up......

The theme for this year's party (Dec 17th) is: 'Uniforms' so you'd best start thinking NOW as you haven't got that much time to plan.......

"It didn't work, did it?" (Buster 1988)

And Teapot exacts his revenge!

Wet Fart is trying his old trick of.....

...finding where Teapot is so he can pour the DD backwards over him!

Wet Fart's rowdy downdown....

He's got the dickhead hat, so why has he taken his shirt off?

We'll be back this evening (Friday 23 Nov) so don't worry.

I know you think I've got a never-ending (story?) supply of Hash pics.....well, I have, it just so happens.....and did I tell you about the helmet mounted camera? Be very afraid......

Everyone loves....

...Captain Birdseye! 600 plus runs to his credit. (That's a pint you owe me, Mike)

Rambo does like.....

....his food!

Downdown for Flip Flop at.....

...The Cleave, Lustleigh.

It's all over for another evening.....

from l - r : Bogie, Able Semen, Pottsie, Fallen Woman, Bubbles, Winfield and Teapot.

Soapy downdown.....

....whatever happened to that special tankard you had?

I've told you I don't want any publicity!

W.W. aka Wubble u Wubble u

Winfield's 500 badge....

...at the Smugglers Inn, Dawlish

Great Jumping Jehosophat!

Now he's drinking it!

Now I remember why I don't like you....

....Melon Picker, you're shaking my special bottle of 'Bluebird' Bitter! Honeydew aids and abets the crime.

Fallen Woman at.....

...The Smugglers Inn, Dawlish.

Migman is...

.....the Hash Songmaster

President Pottsie in classic pose

Get ready for a 'Fry's Turkish Delight'...

I swear......

....it's either Rod Steiger or Mick McManus!

You do know.....

....he's quite mad..........don't you?

At last, we're back in business....

Winfield (centre) and Two Scoops (left)

These two scenes were filmed at the Teign Valley Golf Club in 2002/3

I enjoyed that!

But Teapot escapes yet again.....

McWot tries to stop this travesty.....

Teapot retreats.......

Time's up, Teapot!

Oh no! Teapot's got a Downdown!

Finally........I think this is yours Flip Flop!

I know it's you, Flip Flop!

It's bloody stuck!

Somebody's bunged it up!

Teapot comes to have a look.....

There's something dreadfully wrong here......

Pray silence for the Downdowns!

Pottsie's 'bunged up bugle' sequence follows.....

.....exactly at 6pm, followed by the supporting feature of 'Typical Teapot Downdown'

Captain Birdseye is fine

As you know, if you attended the AGPU on Monday last, Birdseye was taken ill part way through the meeting. Several concerned hashers went downstairs to assist. After calling Mike Tuesday, I can thankfully report that he's fine now. He was touched at the concern for him and thanks everyone who came to help.

Do you forgive me now.....

.....Blaster?
