Good to see another GM at Perth Hash.
Now we have: -
1. Rusty Nuts (refer to the last PH3 AGPU).
2. Triple Tits (accused of being GM by Rusty upon his return from Langkawi).
3. Elbows (see God's run write up 23/07/2008).

PS Mole leaves on his adventure biking across Australia next week; have a great time Mole.

Another cold start as the pack headed East by the boundary fence around the George Burnett playing fields and within 200 metres there was total confusion. a drizzle of flour was found inside a gate and so the loop was completed. Into some bush - did the trail ever come out? the pack spread up and down Manning Rd until ON ON was called down Challenger Av, across to Trinity playing fields (how did the hare get his bike through such a small hole?) more lost trail, eventually up KILKENNY CIRCLE, only KILKENNY wasn't there to soak up the adulation. trail becoming more difficult to find, SPERM adds to the confusion with a bugle call back over the same trail. GM ELBOWS comes to the rescue with a call along the bike trail and back to Manning Rd. the pack had lost interest and headed straight home. plenty of olives, ghurkins, cheese and salami helped the hare to a score of 6.2. Down the road to Wongs Hawkers Food to mix with the students, plenty of stout and reds, oodles of nosh (FT wouldn't have a clue how good it was since he didn't show up), top night had by all, thanks to RUSTY NUTS for organising it.

It’s hard to find cuisine to please a short-cutting Frenchman!

I agree with FT re the run – a lack of co-hare is really noticeable.

Mai pousser l'herbe long sur le chemin de l'enfer faute d'utilisation.

Run was intriguing (read good but difficult to follow), food at Wong's was crap.

Another start from the Cancer Council Admin building with coloured lights and speccy views but no hares around by 6 to start the pack - no matter, ELBOWS called the pack on, lots of chalk, lots of checks, over the railway into Subi and the dunny lanes, a 6 way check really impressed the pack, back over the line through Shents station, nasty little falsies followed by a long uphill run "on-home" where SCUMBAG tanked. Shortcutters like BIRDMAN were back in an hour, the runners took an hour 20 ++ for the stragglers. But so what - the fire was roaring, the roast beef was beckoning, the circle was short, RA awarded 7.5 to the experienced team who do have been doing it together for 20 odd years. FT put on Swan Stout for his birthday to warm the cockles on another chilly night. ON ON

Another week, another high turnout. The reason for the high turnout could either be that much was anticipated from the ex-taxi driver or the boys needed topping up from their weekend alcohol intake. I think it was the latter. So, in chilly condition, the pack set off south east of Herdsman LIA, taking a sharp left at Lake Monger, crossing below the freeway and then meandered back to the On-On over the Glendalough train station pedestrian ramp. The trail was well marked with some cunning checks and false trails and took over an hour to complete. Along the way, the pack got split-up, giving the usual SCBs an opportunity to quit and return to the bucket. Two of them, Needles and Rumpole, were observed climbing a security fence to save themselves a few shuffling steps. Triple Tits, wearing Magoo’s snickers (coz he forgot his, doh!) set a cracking pace until the freeway. From there, he decided enough was enough and he also galloped home. Bushie and Emu took over as FRBs, found the trail but forgot they had to call. The pack before then was a dozen strong, but quickly disintegrated to be scattered over several blocks all heading home.
As it was too bloody cold standing around, the circle was relocated near the fire drum. The birthday boys were called in for a cold drink, also G-string for organising a great Christmas-in July function, and Birdman and Kilkenny for their fit of heroism participating in the Marathon Relay. After a long winded hand-over from Dick Tracy, Needles thanked DT and TT for doing his job, called the Hares, Colonel and his mentor, Phantom, and awarded a 2.5/10 pre-empting crap food. The food was edible, surprisingly, and plentiful, more grog flowed and by 8.15 it was lights out, grab your roadies (for some) and good night nurse. On On.

Familiar run territory at Carine open space but ominous signs as we arrived with Ranger vehicles arriving in numbers, potential TRG coming in support, baling up BUDGIE with allegations of spreading poisonous white stuff! Pity the poor ranger having to deal with BUDGIE who got it sorted in imitable style! A very cold and confusing start to the run but ended up predictably looping around the oval and across Reid Highway, through the 'burbs, over the freeway and back again, long run in, perfect 50 minutes! DICK TRACY did another wonderful stand-in job but obviously keeps his robe permanently in his car to dress-up in every chance he gets. NEEDLES returns this Friday from UK, straight into Xmas in July on Saturday and presumably will be over jetlag by Monday night if not otherwise shagged-out!! Buffalo naming finalised in favour of RHINO. Plenty of birdseed for BUDGIE to chew on, a good fire, curry and too much rice, top run given an 8.

The annual joint run with West Coast convened at the familiar City West site and looped away through the carpark, over the railway line, and up to Thomas St where the front runners took off and left the rest standing watching the traffic. from there, it's a tale of 2 packs as the front runners were never sighted again,led by WC who seemed to be in serious marathon training. the rest of us wandered west along Hay St with DICK TRACY calling the lagging dickheads up to the checks, gradually across to Cambridge St, across the overpass into Leederville with the pack again diverging through laneways and falsies, back over Thomas to the railway line which was in fact decision time - to shortcut or not to shortcut. the real hashmen led by EMU, ELBOWS, LASAGNE, TRIPLE-J with Crater tagging along took the long way home under the freeway, over to Fitzgerald St, down to Roe St and home. a top run set by MOLE, FT, and CHISELER. excellent food - french onion soup, cheese and baguette, followed by sizzling sausage. DEE from Sids put up with Dick Tracy groping her while she thanked us for donations - no doubt she will be back again for more next year!

a tough night for a virgin run - cold and wet but GNOCCHI was still out there remarking trail as the pack set off, leaving co-hare LASAGNE in the cosy trailer. The pack meandered North to Balcatta and across the freeway before heading further west and into some bush around Gwelup Lake. by this time, most of the pack had called it a day and only the hardy athletes continued back to Karrinyup Road and home about 10 past 7. Down-downs for the visitor - BARBIE from Houston, EMU for hitting a steer in the NT at 140kph and lived to tell the tale, TRIPLE-J for facing the wrong way and calling the pack on right. lots of tasty pasta soup with plenty leftover to take home, long run but a good'un - well done to the youngest member!

Hello you lot. I bet it all seems a vague blur in the past now doesn't it! All that beer. All that "running." All those closed shops and restaurants and bars slap bang in the middle of your event!

Well, its even worse for us...We used Interhash to carry on around the world going to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, San Francisco and New York before returning to Leeds, Yorkshire!

We have a lot of very good photos from the Red Dress Run, some from the runs and also many from the Wine Tour available for exchange with yourselves on DVD. Email me for details.

Also trying to contact Grantley Laurence Dunks; Slammer if he could get in touch, please.

JAAPIE thought he had beaten the weather after the morning fronts had passed through and not much on the radar but it was still cold and bleak at 6.00pm at Shirley Strickland Oval when the pack set off. Fortunately the arrows were holding up well on wet surfaces until we got to Canning Highway at the bottom of Risely Street when the pack scattered in all directions. MASTITIS seems to have a nose for finding lost trails and picked up the loop taking us out onto Canning Highway and eventually down to Wireless Hill. the rain continued to fall until we made it to Booraggon Shopping Centre when it all went to crap after another falsie. 5 dedicated Hashers + 1 visitor found the trail through the carpark out to Risely St. where the rest of the pack went? - all SCBs one must assume. but this time, the arrows refused to be found and eventually we 6 straggled in the back way across the oval, only to find all the chips gone, tossed out to the SCBs by old Grumpy Bum himself!
DICK TRACY stood in for the RA at short notice and did his usual sterling job of conjuring mirth from little material. awarded the hares 9 and a half followed by 2 top curries.

Good to see about 15 PH3 at blue dress run. We excelled with our song and drank as much beer as anyone else.But it's hard to get Colonel to sing,let alone Budgie who normally wont shut up

what a great hashing weekend! Friday night's dinner/dance was a resounding success with high praise from all directions. Thanks to Dave the Pom and his mate Geoff for opening proceedings with background music, no shortage of food and drink - did HORSE get fourths?? MAGOO didn't need fourth drinks after 10 o'clock. DICK TRACY was in fine form but 10 chicks in half hour shifts was ambitious even for DICK. a good rollup early for breakfast - how do these guys do it?
outstanding run on sunday set by STEWIE and HORSE, TRIPLE-TITS at his entertaining best, followed by more food and reds - HORSE only had room for thirds - but even the band couldn't give away the Tooheys New! plenty left over still. thanks to the guys who pitched in to lend a hand setting up and cleaning up led by WAGON, PITT, CANS, MOLE, PHANTOM with CAPTAIN, DEKE, SCOTTIE, RAMROD, ELBOWS, HORSE, STEWIE + Mrs Cans and Mrs Pitt and anyone else I failed to notice. HARLOT fronted to all functions and his flash camera work will be on show in the magazine to be published shortly.
another top run in good territory set by MOLE and ANTMAN had the pack totally confused/disoriented - 6.40 and no drinkstop, 6.45 and no drinkstop, 6.55 and no drinkstop. and there it was at 7.05 with the pack totally knackered but a 5 minute run home was a sneaky surprise. more cheese,salami,ham and ghurkins than the pack could handle. SCOTTIE was under duress dishing out the premium beers having rocked in at 3 minutes to six with dog in tow, only an hour later than scheduled. TRIPLE TITS excelled himself with his ode "MAY THE SPLASH JUST OVERFLOW". GUMBY was in fine form leading the pack in ribald song. great curries to follow, + special Porter from the ANTMAN brewery to mark the occasion.
so early in the year, competition for the awards is running hot - Run of the Year, Cordon Bleu, Banjo Lawson - the standard has been set for all remaining hares to aim at.
bring your mates to visit/join up and see what hashing is all about. ON ON

God has it right. Roll on next Monday night. It promises to be a BIG night with fine weather so, there is hoping the trail is hot (and long), the tarts wet (and wild) and the grog plentiful (and cold), including lots of vino...
We go hashing every Monday (sometimes Tuesday),
We are the Perth Hash Harriers...
We've all got BIG whoppers,
And we're always on time except for Scummie who also enjoys running false trail(not)and short cutting!!!!

memories of a bitter wind blowing through us the last time at this venue, evaporated under a clear sky and full moon, but still cold enough for a fire. the pack took off around the park, up and down dale, good falsies, FT delighted to catch SCUMBAG twice, then a check at another footy oval, split the pack to hell but eventually 'on,on' was called with about half the pack struggling to catch the front runners. a peculiar 'on home' pointing 180 the other way had the pack wandering in circles until sense prevailed to run down the same hill we drove in, home in spot on 60 minutes - you can always rely on the experienced team of Pitt, Wagon and Cans. beanies and sweats were the order of the night. Wagon, having signed off with the Kings Hotel on the numbers for the dinner/dance this Friday night, was still fielding registrations/queries despite his best efforts with emails/flyers/spruiking, so he got up and explained it all again. it's going to be a great weekend of Hashing. TRIPLE-TITS, let down by non-attendees, did a grand job filling in for NEEDLES, awarded the hares a 6.66 recurring,the stew hit the spot, we ran out of "Old", can't wait to do it all again next Monday.

Never thought i'd ask but, when is our real RA back and the stand-in comedian returns to do his best getting lost?

why 2 write-ups in 1? SPERM's was so fucking long and Bully's so fucking short, they may as well be all in one. Familiar territory in Balcatta around Sperm's factory unit but the pack was soon spewing after long falsies, lots of loops and smart-arse marking - marking a 'drink-stop' just to have the pack do a 360 around a park and NO DRINKSTOP!! FT kept making the wrong choice at the checks, then asking why no one was apoligising for the remarks made about his marathon if they were putting up with this! hard luck FT, this was a far more interesting run than your slog up Wanneroo Road!
back at the bucket, after an hour 15 or so, party hats and whistles for SPERM's six zero birthday, stand-in RA Triple-tits dazzled or befuddled us with too many big words, another good curry followed by cake, totally gobbled by the pack. good run, good night had by all.

ACE co-hared the Bully boys for a 6.30 start at Whitfords shopping centre which took off through the carpark, up a couple of levels and out the other end, under the road, heading north. falsies were a bit short so the front runners got away from the pack and back in 35. but the walkers must have got lost - arriving 15 minutes later, so why would they expect any chips to be left? TOP HAT got a down-down for his seven zero birthday (that's 3 so far this year). circle run by Bully assisted by Triple-Tits. more good curry, lots of laughs, wouldn't be dead for quids, as they say in the classics.

The feet were in all the right places directing us to the runsite, good parking area, good light - all was looking good for an excellent run - and so it was. Loop around the park, well-marked, long falsies, over the freeway and back without any dramas, totally uneventful until right at the end, NEXT WEEK went flat on his face on a cunning, low-slung chain about 2 inches off the ground. Luckily no serious damage. where was the calling from the front runners?
FOXY put on a carton for the big seven zero,(where did he find those shorts?), RUMPOLE celebrating a lower number but wearing expensive trousers and shoes in the circle? too much for G-STRING to resist with a dose of splash. down-down for AYATOLLAH for excellent organisation of the Hash golf day, unfortunately won by FAGS and a female ring-in SHOELACES.
Heaps of 2 hot (by most standards other than MOLE's) curries and rice rounded off a good night. RA awarded 6.5 - does he ever award anything else?

Yes it's all over for this year.

Well done PH3! You have raised a total of $4,000 made up of $1,000 in raffle tickets and $3,000 to shave G-Strings head. Thanks to all that supported Relay for Life by selling tickets, making G-String nude or just turned up to do some laps on the weekend.

Thank you all.

PEMBO doesn't stray far from home when setting a run - same shopping centre run-site, Bullcreek, as his previous effort, BUT different restaurant - memories of home-style drinkstop and 2k run home! He still can't find a co-hare (needs to be official Hash policy to have a co-hare - Joint Masters take note!!)
HARLOT still has his mind elsewhere - no shoes! but doesn't stick around for a down-down.
Start instructions were to "run to the first check in front of BP station". que?? did JAAPIE call on-on which wasn't on trail?? mass confusion at the first check - looking like another fuck-up but no! judgement was made too early! trail led into a good long falsie, then a back-check (don't see those too often), a loop which allowed the back runners to heavily short-cut since RUSTY and his bugle were so far in front, but then the pack spread out over some long stretches, with more unjustified accusations of short-cutting, and finally a clever loop which dragged the whole pack around a suburban block and back through a small park, ON HOME was about a k along Parry Avenue.
Back at the bucket, visitors from HANGOVER BAY H3, ZIPPERLIP and HIPPO, plus returnees POLECAT, CHUNDA, DEKE led the down-downs. RA awarded PEMBO 6.5 but the night just got better and better - good venue with a room separate from Joe Public, lashings of narn bread, trayloads of chicken, serve yourself 3 curries n rice, champagne -whoops, make that sparkling wine, reds aplenty, there was so much leftover even HORSE was taking a doggybag home. RA relented and made it an 8.
Hash choir was in full voice. Top night had by all. Well done PEMBO - who needs a co-hare??
