Rendezvous: Back to school for our first hash of Ramadan – a few thirsty and tired looking hashers before we’d even gone anywhere (and that was the non-fasting ones!). A beautiful beach hash promised (by Foxy, and if he’s wrong we’ll have to cut his hair off – ooh too late)

The Run: a head start for the runners who then found the first check within 100metres in the middle of a building site. Chaos ensued as runners checked it out in every direction except the right one, and as hares had hardly given us any head start the walkers were soon hot on our tail.

With a little help from the hares (i.e. LBH told us which way to go) runners headed straight through the middle of the construction site (THE most dangerous place EVER to play), emerging into neatly tendered gardens which quickly lapsed into mud and hyacinth and the other detritus of the Bashundhara ‘beaches’... not exactly racing to get ahead!

A pile of decomposing ‘gunk’ pretending to be some innocent-looking mud got in the way of returnee Flasher as he took a step too far and a bit deeper than planned. That’s what you get for being an FRB. Those who came after decided that jumping over the pretend mud was preferable – some with a little bit more finesse than others!

..and so eventually we came to the promised sand and the beach hash lived up to its name. Runners found themselves on virgin territory as it was obvious that another few square kilometres of land had been created out of Dhaka’s flood plain; at the rate of infilling we could be running on virgin territory every month!

As is normally the case with a beach hash, runners just left the paper to an FRB or two and cut randomely across the dunes in the vague direction of the most likely B-point…
A checkpoint by a hole gave MintyHole a chance to be a Hole in hole – but we couldn’t persuade him to reveal MintyHole’s hole in the hole!

A slow long jog across the sand and the appearance of the cars soon led us to the b-point, no walkers in sight but a few minutes to catch our breath and let them catch up before Iftar.

The Walk: a familiar visiting face back amongst us but walking due to a recovering knee operation – Clothballs spotted towering above the ladies’ heads!

The b-point: tired and thirsty but no fasters had fallen over and died from dehydration (thank god – is the hash insured? Do we make everyone sign a disclaimer? Should we?) and iftar time arrived not a moment too soon.

The Circle: No P’nis this week, so stand-in hash mistress Geli took control (once CrustyLobster had handed him the stats sheet).

Lots of hares (couldn’t fit them all in the picture) including a virgin who tried to pass herself off as a hare – obviously heard about free beer!

Lots of virgins: Neli from Bulgaria, Mirna from Columbia, Wiener from Germany and Meenakshi from China (disunited nations!).

A few new runners with interesting hash names (see above), then a very definite - not allowed to be a returnee or leaver – visitor Clothballs.

Only one returnee, FartEcho, had registered properly, but a few others (Flasher, Wang, AliBabar) realised that they could get a free beer if they admitted to returning from overseas – don’t these guys know how to do it yet!!??

Foxy was our only leaver, off to Malaysia on his holidays, then we had a few (some of which were belated) certificates to hand out – delivered with a quick prayer from HM Geli!




RA WebFart started out by admonishing the hares for not providing iftar (maybe he was hungry). Abuse then for KBKC, Foxy and Geli for not wearing t-shirts in the circle, DD to the ‘incomplete dressers’.

RentBoy had mens’ hash t-shirt & shorts on – he’s just done 50 runs so should have known better! DD to the ‘paedophile homosexual’ (which all the mens hashers are of course).

Flasher’s mud-fest proved that he must have been a ‘sober hasher’ whilst running. DD to MintyHole for standing in ‘minty’s hole’.

PubicHare was caught flirting on the walk with Louisa – from 400m away, so DD to both of them for the ‘short man lover’.

DD to ‘senile old hasher’ CrustyLobster for forgetting 50 run mugs – which at least 2 people needed! DD to our persistent leaver, returnee, visitor just because he’s a ‘cheap bastard’ and we all know it!

Chivalry is dead as LBH ran screaming from a cockroach in his beer chest, leaving FartEcho to clean it out; DD to the ‘un-chivalrous bastard’.

Back to Geli and a ‘good job RA’ DD for WebFart.

Announcements: Full moon hash, Wednesday 12th at 8pm, RV road 59, house 2 and bring 300 taka for dinner afterwards.

Next week’s hash: Opposite Parliament building at 4pm, iftar afterwards.
