Run 927 - El Pulpos leaving run & Flakeys party
Sunday 25th June
Hares: Dipper & Gobbi
A good crowd of 56 runners turned up for El Pulpo’s last run in the heart of El Coto. Bright Yellow Tshirts were handed out inaugurating the First Run of the Port Elizabeth Hash. Numerous group photos were taken with the Pack resplendent in their yellow tshirts. Instructions said to turn up by 1pm but as usual it was 2pm before the pack was off.
Up over a little hill before heading down to a 2 way split which had both trails on until the left hand split hit an F. So it was on right heading downhill before heading uphill again to a CB. This kept the pack together as the pack checked out the possibilities which was eventually found which took us through some jungle parallel to a stream and then onto a track before another CB kept the pack together again.
This took us over a stream, not down it as some expected, before a gentle jog to the Beer Stop. Dipper was liberally pouring out Pulpo juice which was going down as quickly as it was being poured. It was warm under the trees as we waited for the back runners.
The football beckoned so the pack were off leaving the Hares to wait for the back runners. The Rambos had a loop round back to the car park and the Wimps had a 200 yard walk to where the cars were parked. The whole pack was back and where was the beer! No beer! It was still with the Waiting Hares.
Eventually they turned up and were almost lynched on the spot.
The Circle was called to order and the GM gave down downs to Hares – Dipper and Gobachov who were awarded a mark of 6 for their run, mostly for the absence of beer Returnees - numerous Anniversaries – Stiff Fanny – 70 runs, HMV – 65 runs, Nipper – 75 runs, Mummy’s Boy 115 runs, El Pulpo 400 runs
5 Visitors - all who were brought along by Eggshell Blond and Lilo Lil The Circle was then handed over to his Flakeyness who handed out penances to those who had sinned – With the absence of a block of ice, a substitute was quickly found which turned out to be a plastic potty filled with 4 cans of nicely chilled beer, Dipper was the first recipient of the ice block alternative due to the lack of beer at the end of the run.
Dogs Bollox was the next recipient – why? I can’t remember El Pulpo for being El Pulpo Shit Shoveler and Sir Roy – dogs fighting and dumping in the circle The circle was then handed over to El Pulpo for his award ceremony Dipper and Flakey – given pairs of specs to enable them to watch TV. Before Sky they used to watch very grainy porn which sometimes you could see and sometimes not.
Willy Wankers Willy Warmer – El Pulpo’s stopper. To be kept warm Up Yer Bum and Bagpuss – a strap a dick to me, for lesbian exploits in Cazorla when they could have had El Pulpo The circle was closed and it was On On to Flakeys pad for swimming, canapйs, dancing, mucho drinking and a BBQ.
Many thanks to those who cooked and prepared the food, Stiff Fanny, Willy Wankers Willy Warmer, Stitched Up and to Flakey for the use of his home.
