The Bird in Hand

Hummery

"8’s across the board for this delightful town centre pub, which marries old-world charm with good beer and ‘smiley barmaids’"

Overheard on the hash (24th March 2015)

“Judy,  where’s Mike?” “Oh, he’s around somewhere”[Judy displaying wifely concern for ‘Missing Mike’]

“I suppose I have been a bit grumpy lately” [Hawkeye’s understatement of the yr]

"Hmmm...the 1st pint was good, but now with the 2nd....yes, there is the faint smell of bacteria...could the glass though" [Hawkeye's attempt to monopolise the Hash of the Year Award for 'Most Grumpy', and 'Most Boring']

“Bleedin’ hell - what’s all this running lark abaht?” [Kerry laments the quickest short run ever!]

“Any virgins?”  [Roger to the assembled hash] / ”’He’s a virgin - him, over there” [voice from the crowd, à la Life of Brian, pointing to a visitor from Boston USA] / “No I’m not, I’m ‘Doubleback’ and...” / [Roger cutting him off quickly] ”Well, you’re still a virgin to us, so be quiet and get over here”
