How not to win friends or influence people ...

Bluebird hasn't taken his tablets and is running amok on the trail ... having been here before, Harry, he has decided that it's a 'silly sod' loop round the lake and has waded across and legged it back on trail.  Note the hapless hashers coming to a halt and wondering what to do ... sigh  (Bluebird did have the good manners to apologize to the hare Ollie the next day - particularly so when he discovered that there was in fact a long/short split at the end of the lake ... groan of disbelief)
