The Dumb Bell

Hummery: An almost perfect hash pub, if they could just sort the drinks out - unique, charming, quirky, haphazard and slightly random!

Overheard on the hash (23rd June 2015)

“What’s that bird doing in that field?” “Ha ! Which stupid hasher has gone wrong then…?” “No, that bird over there [pointing to ostrich-like creature in a field of horses & donkeys] looks like a Rhea..or an Emu?” “If he’s a Rhea, I shall call him Chris” “What would you get if you crossed a donkey with an Emu?” “A bird that keeps making an ass of itself?!” “Maybe Matt R could add Emu-wrangling to his list of skills, as he’s not looking very happy is he?” “Mind you, you wouldn’t be too happy either if somebody kept sticking their hand up your @rse would you?” “Who, Matt R or the bird?”…etc [Roger, Matt W, Matt R, Nikki, Zac, Sandra & Cupcake pontificate on large birds in general whilst out on the hash]

“I must say, it was rather lazy of Alan” “What - not cycling back from Gloucester after a 24-hour MTB race?” “No, not cutting the nettles back before setting a hash - we need a Hash Strimmer!” [Matt & Ant continue the pontifications]

”How was it, the 24-hour MTB race?” [Q’s to Dick], “Bloody Awful” [Dick’s immediate response] ”Maybe next year, we could enter a Party Team of 10 - who’s up for it?” [Dick’s more considered response later on the hash]

“No f*king way - I’ve been telling everybody for YEARS that cows are dangerous creatures!” [Jo, distraught after missing last week’s Maidensgrove Stampede]
