The Three Horseshoes

Hummery: Doombar. Quite an apt description given the only ale on tap and the mood of the Shorts ex-chips. That being said, throw in expensive STDs, questionable charging practises and an uninspiring out-of-the-way location, and you don’t exactly have a recipe for success.

Overheard on the hash (29th September 2015)

“The Shorts have been taken off in cars….that’s the last we’ll see of them” “Well I’m definitely not chipping in for any ransom” [The novel start to the Hash provokes a degree of concern…well not really]

”He’s a bit of a gobby FRB isn’t he?”  “Well, he’s got the legs to back it up…..I used to have the legs as well, but now I’ve just got the gob” [Rob & Roger discuss Anthony’s Duracell Bunny impression]

“It’s a shame Kevin’s not here” “Why?” “Well, then we could sing ‘There’s a dog walked out the chip shop swears he’s Elvis’” [Matt postulates]  “…but he’s a liar and I’m not sure about you!” [Ian then breaks off into song…not directed at The Hare….I think]

”What does a 26 mean?” “It means that 26 of us have to go to the back of the hash” “But there are only about 15 of us….that’s stupid” [Ian’s friend - Sean - on his 2nd run comes to terms with hashing]

 We lost Gerry about 20 minutes ago…but then we found him…or he found us [Andy displays the right amount of hash concern for Gerry’s well-being]

It’s like one of those horror films, where the stragglers get picked off one by one [Cheery banter ensues as the hashers run round yet another housing estate]

”You were clean-shaven when you left - long run?” [Audrey states the bleedin’ obvious to returning Longs]

”New socks from TK Maxx, new shirt from Primark….aren’t you the brand-conscious one eh?” “Everything gets covered in sh*t in the end, so what’s the point?” [Andy defends his wardrobe splurge]
