Scribes 1992

Aberdeen Hash House Harriers 

Sunday 25th Oct 1992 

LAST MINUTE EFFORT THIS, AND NO SPELL CHECK, HOPE I DON'T DECIDE TO RIGHT ANY TERIBILLY DIFICULT WURDS. 

RUN NO. 510,  WHAT THE HELL, BACK SIDE OF KIRKHILL FORREST. 

COLD AND WET AND ALMOST LAST, ECLIPSED HOWEVER BY THE STRUTH MOBILE (HOW DID SHE ESCAPE SCRIBE). SEEM TO REMEMBER NOT GETTING A PRE RUN DOWN-DOWN, BY WINGING OUT OF IT, SOAK DID THE HONOURS. MAYBEE THAT'S WHY I'M SCRIBE. NEVER AGAIN WILL I REFUSE A DRINK! ! 

THE PROMISE OF BOTH A WHISKY MAC AND A BEER CHECK, SET TREVOR'S IMMAGINATION ALIGHT. SUCH A PITTY THAT, THAT WAS WHAT HE WAS GOING TO USE TO NAVIGATE WITH, AFTER BEING LED TO THE FORMER BY HIS ACCOMPLICE IN THE "A TEAM". 

FRONT RUNNING GED (MALE) RHONA (FEMALE) AND SOAK (KIWI) ALL FOLLOWED FLOUR DOWNHILL AND THAT WAS ALL I SAW OF THE PACK TILL THE GREEDY BASTARDS TURNED UP AND INSISTED THAT HOWARD AND I SHARE OUT THE SPOILS, COMPLETE WITH CHEESE AND BICKIES. 

IT'S AT THIS STAGE THAT MOST SCRIBES SLIP IN THE NAME OF THEIR FAVOURITE HASHER OF THE OPPOSIT SEX, AFTER ALLL WE'RE MORE THAN JUST A RUNNING CLUB. IT WAS NICE TO SEE "STICH IN TIME" BACK ON THE RUN. 

WHEN IS A BEER CHECK NOT A BEER CHECK. WHEN THERE'S ONLY ONE F****** CAN. AT LEAST IT GAVE THE PACK A CHANCE TOP REGROUP AND CATCH A FINAL FLEETING GLANCE OF TREVOR. 

ON DOWN THROUGH THE FORREST, A CUNNING LITTLE LOOP TOOK US, STOOPED, TO THE BACK OF THE PACK AGAIN. 

WHERE ELSE COULD THE BEER HAVE BEEN, SURE ENOUGH, AT THE MAST, UP A TREE, EASY FOR SOAK (CUZ HE'S A KIWI, REMEMBER) BUT GETTING DOWN PROVED DIFFICULT FOR HOWARD (PROBABLY CUZ HE'S A HIPPO AND SHOULDN'T BE CLIMBING TREES AND DRINKING BEER.) 

YOU CAN TELL THAT I'M AVOIDING THE LAST BIT CUZ (MY FAVOURITE WURD TODAY) <APART FROM "I" ED > CANN'T QUITE REMEMBER EXACTLY WHO GOT A DOWN DOWN. SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN DOWN. 

BIG JIM  - LATE ARRIVAL AND UNABLE TO FOLLOW FLOUR. 

***********INSERT YOUR NAME HERE FOR A MENTION********** 

TREVOR - HASHIT FOR DOING WHAT COMES NATURALLY TO HIM 

A GREAT DAY OUT, AN "A TEAM" WHITE WASH, NICE WEATHER, THEN WHAT A DOWNER! SOME BASTARD HAD SLASHED MY TYRES DURING THE RUN. I'M AT LEAST GLAD THAT I DON'T LIVE IN THE AREA, APPARENTLY ITS AN EVERYDAY OCCURANCE IN DYCE SINCE THE RECCESSION. 

ON ON OLYMPRICK 

Bored? Yes? P.T.C.

ABERDEEN 500TH

(OR A WEEKEND IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE)

The weekend started on Thursday night with a joint Aberdeen Strictly Social/Currently Unnamed North Thames run from the Blue Lamp in Aberdeen. This was a run around the streets and pubs just to break us in. The local hashers put up the visitors for the night.

Friday morning we headed back to the Blue Lamp for a few pints before the afternoon run, returning our gear to the car en-route - and they were gone! Someone had nicked Tablewhine's wheels.

Weelcome to Aberdeen!

The afternoon run was a joint F.U.K.0.F.F/C.U.N.T/T.W.A.T/ A.S.S run with a multitude of hares and fifty hounds that signed in. Starting off from the Prince of Wales, we managed 14 beer stops (so I'm told), the last of which was a Curry house.

A drunken stagger to Craibstone College for registration and some of the weirdest giveaways ever including: golf balls, ties, pens and hats, all of which seemed to have nothing to do with AH3.

With 3 runs on Saturday, 4 if you include the inaugural Bath Spa Hash (we don't ... Ed). The hares spent a lot of time drumming up support. The most popular turned out to be the Deeside run, possibly because of the promise of Olymprick’s Chilli Pies. This run nearly had one fatality when Hedgehog (INT) tried to drown herself whilst white-water rafting on car inner-tubes. Whoever saved her has a lot to answer for!

Saturday night was the highlight of the weekend with hash cabaret from the TNT tarts, of whom I'm sure we'll see more (and we'd like to), TNT 3 Degrees, Ass and the Strumpetts Emma & Rhona - excellent as always. Then came the Aberdeen Soul Review - what a band! I would have paid the £26 just to see them. Quote from a flyer: "too fucking good for you lot".

Sunday saw the actual 500th Run and it rained & rained just right to go with the bloody cold. This put a lot of people off, including those who went off to celebrate the Black Nose Taxi Hash First Birthday, same old faces (yawn), all of whom received Down Downs on their return.

Sunday afternoon was time to play. After unsuccessful horizontal bungee jumping, Vulcan bombers took over in various forms, including nude until Soak crashed and retired to hospital for stitches. The day ended with another disco.

Monday morning saw another run for those who were still there. All in all an excellent bash. One of the best organised of the year. Thanks to all the Committee, especially Aids and Rhona for making it so good for us, but please could you hold the next one somewhere warm - say Spain for instance!

Some strange happenings of the weekend were that the lemonade ran out first (who drinks it?). Also, a claim was made by Babs of Worthy Winchester H3 that theirs is the most boring in the UK. Would anyone like to dispute this?

AH3 - RUN Number 497

Don View, Bridge of Don

“ The Don Pong "

17/8/92 - Hares:- J.C & Woggle

Cleverly disguised as 'Serious' runners the Hash limbered up outside the Donview Pub, the newcomers dry, clean and blissfully unaware of the water and shiggy that lay ahead. Pre-run down down went to Shitty Shit (Vincent) who travelled all the way from Brussels to sample our shiggy and beer.

The Run:- The Hashers ponced around, totally confused until rescued by some children who had found the trail. Pillock was last seen trying to persuade a small boy to donate his bike to someone more needy. (No doubt legal proceedings will follow)

On On through the golf course, over some golfers, looping back to play chicken on the motorway and then to Muggers Paradise and the beer check where apparently, the Hares had spent money on flour for the beer check but forgot to buy the beer. Undeterred Master Baker brought his own large beer check from a nearby pub.

Later Posh & Hot 'n' Delicious were seen disappearing into the bushes, only to reappear moments later at high speed, being chased by a Large...Raging !!!...Swarm of...ONE BEE !! Posh led us to believe that in the line of duty he had received a painful sting on his neck. NOTE:- This new strain of bee leaves large tooth marks !

A procession of bright, garish colours ran along the river bank, much to the fishermen's delight (?) They assured us, through gritted teeth, that the noise and bright colours would not scare away the fish. Then came the treacherous river crossing, where the fish were again exposed to bright trainers and pale, lethargic legs. We looked like a scene from Tenko as we all held hands in a bid to try and balance in this fast flowing section of the river Dee.

Frankie was heard to say "That was great !, I want to go through the river again"...talk about Red Rag to a Bull, the Hashers couldn't believe their luck, within seconds Frankie was swept off her feet and from Skydiving to Skindiving, in true Hash style, she was submerged in a nearby fountain.

Woggle and J.C. sure know how to show a Hash Hariette a good time, after being dragged through the cold treacherous river, Stich 'n Time and Reject were spun out to dry at high speed on the park roundabout, showered with flowers and made to dance' The Dance of the Sugar Plumb Fairies '.

S.F.B.'s was noted to be missing from the Hash again. He is believed to be extremely busy carrying on a secretive? affair with Mrs Big Jim.

Down Downs (made that bit more appetizing by the delicate aroma from the Don Pong !) went to:

Scumbag - Caught snogging with his boyfriend.

MoJo / Big Boy - For having half a pound of King Edwards stuffed down his shorts.

Hot 'n' Delicious - Made to suffer because of S.F.B.'s misdemeanours.

Fairies - For their Sugar Plumb Fairy routine.

Hash Shit:- Master Baker (Sexy Belly !) - For supplying his own beer check.

Thanks to J.C. & Woggle for a very entertaining run.

Revenge will be sweet!

Jo ☺

AH3 - RUN Number 496 

Gennel Farm, Durris 

10th August 1992 

An enthusiastic pack of Hashers all duly arrived at the pre-described location point on the 0.S. map only to find out that J.C. and Stitch-in-Time had decided that it wasn't the best location for the sojourn. Instead we were all redirected to the far more aesthetically attractive (?) "Gennel Farm" for our little gathering. Due to the fact that I arrived at the original meeting point with my car facing in the wrong direction Hot and Delicious managed to beat me to "Gennel Farm" and I was duly appointed "scribe". 

Pre-run down-downs were prescribed by Big Jim to Posh for his 50th run, Derek for his sparse attendance at the Hash, (Jim was wondering if this was such a good idea due to the large sharp-toothed Doberman he'd brought along for the run who was eagerly eyeing up his thigh for dinner). 

Anyway back to the run, J.C. had no sooner jumped into the centre of our well-organised circle to describe the run, when Shoulders, one of the new runners' car lovingly attached itself to its neighbouring vehicle. "Handbrakes are useful when parked on Hills", came to common cry to the rather embarrassed American who explained that she had only just "hired" the car. Not too much damage that an expert body-rebuilder couldn't repair given a couple of weeks. 

We started off on the run and as expected it went uphill (surprise surprise-Ed). S.F.B. quickly disappeared from the rest of the pack. Everyone naturally wondered if he knew something we didn't. Did he know where the beer was? Hardly! 

If we'd thought about it we would have realised this was one of J.C.'s runs. There would be no beer today. Instead J.C. and S.I.T. had prescribed two checks. Firstly a sweatshirt check (bloody stupid idea) and secondly a nectarine check as opposed to beer check. 

J.C.'s idea no doubt as I'm still not sure if he'd pass for 18 and be served in an off-licence. 

Back to the run. All of us thoroughly refreshed at the "food" check and in a really healthy frame of mind as to J.C.'s foresighted idea of missing out the beer were ready to set out on the final leg. Aids believing he was to be first away wanted to know who the two stupid women were running up the hill. It was pointed out to Aids that one of them was in fact his wife. White as a ghost he turned and melted back into the crowd. We set off again, downhill this time, following a trail which was, to say the least, lacking in flour in some areas. . Our Edinburgh Hash visitor couldn't understand why we had such long runs. Did we take it seriously or something? We all arrived back at "base camp" in our usual way - wet footed, knackered and ready for a drink.

Down-downs went to the following well deserving souls:

Mum Mum for being Mum Mum 

4-Pack for having a dog Derek for having a dog 

Aids & Peter for being 39

Cinders received the Hash Shit Award

J.C. and Stitch-in-Time for being Hares

On Inn was The Old Mill Inn, Milltimber

RUN 491

Devonshire Road, Aberdeen

Hares - Robin. 22/6/92.

Well, there certainly was more flour on the catering afterwards than on the run. And a lot more walking/talking chez Leith afterwards than on the Run. Being left at the back without the usual collection of girlies & invalids I soon got lost & having once circumnavigated the Earls Court roundabout, avoiding the Egg & Dart, it was back to No 31 for me. Ruth's Lady who does did very well & catered for 50 - pity only 30 turned up. So everyone ate

Very well. Rumour has it there was a beer check but none turned up. The Hare got lost & so did everyone else. But the food was great.

P.S.  At 8:45 4 very drunk hashers turned up who had been forced to drink the entire beer check themselves.

Down Down's to :

Willy - For getting done for faulty lights in his fiancés car.

Leslie - New Runner & New shoes.

Retard - Arriving Late - in a Suit.

Derek - For cycling the run and thereby putting in more effort than the Walkie-Talkies.

P.P.S.

Don't ask the busiest person in the place to be scribe if you want a decent write up! Call back in 3 months!

AH3 Run 490 – Scolty -

Started the Hash! By car from the main road.  Arrived at car parking area. All cars facing into woods. Decided to turn mine around - not such a good idea. Reversed into large hole, knocked over a traffic cone and hit the large boulder in the hole. Then caused some traffic chaos, much to the amusement of Big Jim & J.C. by making a woman in a White Audi reverse back along the narrow road - boulders one side, cars other. She kept reversing and disappeared.

Back to the run. There was quite a large tum out - no Adrian and Rhona on holiday rang out - So Big Jim took over. A few new runners - all male.

Pre-run down down to me for causing traffic jam/crash. Also nominated scribe.

On to the turn itself. Through lots of break a leg/ankle country, back onto a path / then more break a leg country .........etc,etc.

Jerry - "you are allowed to use the paths you know" - was heard more than once.

Half group were at top of Scoulty when on back called 5 spots not on? All sure beer was there,

Carried on through the woods, not on paths, surprise, surprise. Arrived at beer check - no beer - only softies and midgies remained. No sign of Howard, Trevor, Graeme, John to name a few - say no more.

Started off again and literally bumped into the cars after 10 seconds.

Down Downs:

John MacInnes - Hiding beer

Right On - Right on

Wee Graeme - Stealing booze

Wendy

Jerry - No T-Shirt - only beer.

15th June Hash Run - Joan.

Monday 8th June 1992

Kirkhill Forest

Hares: Hash Drunk & The Penguin

The damp and misty depths of the Kirkhill Wood car park were jolted out of their slumbers by the rumblings and chatterings of sundry hashers milling around waiting for Little Big Jim to do his thing. Creaks and groans rent the air as the hashers limbered up with aerobics and stretch type exercises, everybody looking fit and healthy. Burps there were few and farts almost nil as SFB and Soak were absent and Olympric was feeling Self Conscious.

New runners and visitors were not paraded but two were Harry of Djakarta and lan of who knows where. I got lumbered with Scribe for, one being late and two for being stupid enough to be noticed before that bastard JC arrived even later. The hares gave the usual vague spiel and we all set off full of enthusiasm with the usual clever bastards shortcutting. A small but determined group, knackered after a weekend of rafting, walking and barbequing in the sticks could be seen crawling and walkie talkieing.

The run wound around through the trails and at one time even went through some trees. Confusion reigned and the SCBs failed to be first at the beer check. H&D rode her bike to the wrong car park, believing that the onn inn was the Northern Lights - fool and had to hitch a lift with some tail-enders halfway along the run after being rejected by a field of bulls for being too aggressive. She did of course make the beer check. Helen was seen to be running quickly. lan of who knows where insisted on lying down at each check, hoping that some lucky hasher would cover his quivering form with hers an give him MTM. He was out of luck as H&D was trying it on with the bulls. After the beer check it was downhill all the way until the cow field where someone who’s name is unknown decided to try it on with the whole herd. The obviously didn't like her smell and in their panic to get away reduced the gate and post to a heap of kindling and were last seen heading that away at speed. The word Farmer was mentioned and the other herd beat a swift retreat to the car park where Down-Downs were awarded for various real or imagined infringements of the rules

·         Rashly for appearing at a run

·         4-Pack for communing with a nymph, stealing her earings among other things and not leaving his name address and phone number. They were given to her at the weekend by one of his close associates.

·         Becky for pretending to lose her way so that she could have a go at the bulls.

·         The hares, Hash-Drunk and Ron of Indo were awarded hash-shit for not setting the run in the forest.

Meeting adjourned to the alternative venue of the Greentrees, where faces were filled after a surprised landlady was bribed to keep the kitchen open by the smooth-talking bastard Michelin Man and money.

Ehab kept stroking Becky's napkin - some weird Egyptian fetish no doubt.

RUN 486 Mon 18 May 1992

Scribe written 24 May 1992

Here we are having just left the Crown an Anchor at Findhorn on Sunday night. (That is the 24th May) and I’ve still not written the last weeks scribe.

Why have I got this to-do anyway – just because I was (only slightly late) at the hash last weekend.  I’m not convinced that that’s a good reason.

Anyway, back to the mini bus heading out to Findhorn, with a very, very pissed amount of hashers.  (I have never seen so many used cans of Tennent’s and McEwan’s, (Both crap beer) since I was looking in a recycle can bank.  Anyway totally surrounded by very drunk hashers having had a superb west coast weekend.  (All very burnt, and we hear it was wet in Aberdeen!).

I better get on with the story of last week’s hash.

OK, - what happened.  We arrived at the Toby Inn, (that sold crap beer!) at 07.05pm approximately.

A quick huddle and 8 new runners – very impressive, and off we went, heading North towards the Don.

Quite a good run around numerous housing estates and then into the wilds of the Don.  Trees, old bridges and much greenery – but no trail. – YES, no trail!  Everyone going in all directions, but no trail!

Half the pack found the beer check, the other half didn’t.  The half that didn’t then ran around in circles and did the same bit at least three times.  Then back to the pub. (For crap beer!)

A few down downs and discussion of the weekend to come.  Which is where we are while I write.  Thainie is laid on the back seat, totally stuffed.  Trevor and Hippo are cuddling on the back seat, 4 Pack is laid out on the third seat back, rubbing his sore crotch. (He had a very long night last night!) Aids is just about to be divorced due to not being back in Aberdeen to take the Mrs out for a meal.  Fancy arranging a meal for the night he was away with the hash for the weekend.  So he’s pretty pissed too!!

Beer is now flying around the mini bus during the song “Singing in the rain” – it should have said singing in the beer actually!!

Well, I have written enough for this week’s scribe, here on the front line of “Hashspeditions” and very in the firing line of moonies etc.

This is Dave “Oxters” Armes, somewhere near Elgin (Hi Winnie), 10.00pm suffering under the hash singing and cross fire pf Tennent’s and McEwan’s (best use I’ve found for it!)

Signing off for Hash at 10.

We now have all trousers down and willies out!!
