Well it was Monday again as me and my two daughters leave the LEK hotel, a hotel I often stay in because it's central to town and handy for catching the hash bus for the various Pattaya hashes (However not on this occasion)......... as I have my daughters on this trip I thought I should make some plans as my normal schedule of TQ in daytime and maybe Stringfellows at night may not suit my two teenage daughters for two weeks, so I checked web sites for up and coming runs as they like the hash and I thought that will kill a couple of days, I at this point noticed on web site for Songkran run bus will leave from Railway station, I double checked this on last weeks hash sheet and also remember hearing it being announced on previous run. So armed with all this off we went in taxi 300 baht and 20 mins later we arrive at train station with only 3 other hashers present but one was thehare so I thought must be ok. After an hour it was obvious something was wrong, after a phone call to M/C who informs us that bus left LEK as usual we decide to rush back to Sukumvit and get baht bus (when I say rush I mean as rushed as one can be when one of our party was MISSING LINK). Eventually 20 more minutes and 400 baht later we arrive at the A site just as runners were setting off, all this rushing had got to me so I just went for a jog then short cut, easy to do from this well used A site so that was a bonus. Pre circle we sit chat usual tales, ice cream man turns up so that's my daughters and EMPEROR AIRHEAD happy. M/C starts to comment on how miserable others look (pot and kettle is an old english phrase) EMPEROR AIRHEAD reminds him some of them have no life, only whatWE give them, on this note the circleis called and true toEMPEROR AIRHEADSwords in they treck like lemmings from the outer reaches of the circle. The suns sets instantly or did SHEIK ME ME steal it as some suggested?Circle starts and GM ices people for no hash shirts and some cheap Norwegian for not signing up his lady. Raffle done, I didn't win so made no note of who did except there seemed to be a lot of losers as SEAMAN SWALLOW fills the ice with FREE WILLY amongst others. EMPEROR AIRHEAD takes the circle and ices every member of the large ARSE HOPPER unit dressed as some sort of gay rights activists, well done FREE WILLY for selling that lot. This icing continues for a while as they committed just about every sin including trash and drinking of down down beer. HELLBOY on in for 200 th run shirt, PINKY for 50th run mug. I was then iced for being a lying leaver, due to the fact I was a little rushed before hand and forgot to mention it. SHEIK ME ME circle, SEAMAN STAINS iced for being stand in booze master but doesn't drive, and its pointed out he ismaster of music butcan't sing, (however I personally think he contributes a lot to keep the hash going, but must admit he can't sing). Well by now the tigers kicked in and circle fades from my mind so off to Jameson's great food.
PS THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS DON'T GO TO PATTAYA RAILWAY STATION TO GET THE BUS IT DOESN'T STOP THERE, WHY WOULD IT. IT'S FOR TRAINS (OBVIOUS REALLY WITH HINDSITE)
ON ON KNOB MARLEY
PPS hope this didn't bore you too much but after HIV scribe last week I thought a little more effort was required ..........
