Free dinner anyone?

Well! Just goes to show that boring old capitalist lackey doesn't know what he's talking about... because this Saturday, the SH3 34th birthday run will be from Tung Jaeng and will feature FREE DINNER (conditions apply: read the small print below). Just turn up on Saturday and register for this fabulous event at the all inclusive price of 60 Baht (excluding alcoholic beverages of all types) and you will be treated to not only a fabulous athletic experience but also, without any additional cost, the gastronomic feast of the century as chef Jeow creates a wonderful meal to rival all the other wonderful meals that we've had recently at  Tung Jaeng, while you enjoy entertainment* and free-flowing libations ** courtesy of the Hash.
*karaoke
**water - all other drinks are to be purchased from the beer truck or from Tung Jaeng or brought along at your own expense.
Details:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1792, Saturday October 24th 2015, 4:30 p.m. (this is an A-B run so please respect the temporal limitations or risk being stranded at the B site and forced to drown your sorrows in beer!)
Hares: Crackwurst, Only a Yolk, Meals on Wheels and Swings & Roundabouts with free technical adviser Harram (who has set more runs than the rest of 'em put together!)
Misdirections: From The Kao Seng intersection take the old Yala road for 11k and turn right at the Ang Thong intersection into the new Yala road for 1.4k to the Tung Jaeng restaurant on the left. (If you are coming from the Ko Yo intersection take the the new Yala road towards the Ang Thong intersection and take the final U turn (just before Ang Thong) and go back westwards for about 1.3k)

Small print: This offer applies only to those who were born on a day containing the letter A and in a month not beginning with the letter P. Additionally any person with 3 legs will be excluded (in fact will probably be physically ejected since they would be likely to be faster than the old farts who run this f***ing hash. Finally in order to qualify for this offer you must have attended a hash within the GM's living memory and/or be young, nubile and compliant or at least recognisably human and not suffering from a plague of warts.

Sunday's HH3 run will be set by Robocop and is from a run site in the road opposite Wat Poo Kgao Lom which is along the road to Ban Nai Lai (and not from near Wat Nam Noi Nok as previously advised). Map below: From Songkhla head down Poonakan from Wat Keoy Kloy for about 7k and turn left at the hash sign then follow the road for about 3k and turn right when indicated to do so.

Got the shirt, got the pussy

Final instructions

Just in case!

Nakhon Sri ThammaNOT!

At the risk of revealing all to the car ralliers who are assembling as we write, here are the details of the route to today's HH3 outstation run which is somewhere in the region of Ruen Thai Taksina in Trang and nowhere near Nakhon Sri Thammarat as rumoured. Anyone fancying joining the event could be there in about 2 hours - just head north from the end of the new Hatyai road for about 120k past Taksin University's Trang campus and look for a sign on the left. The resort is about 7k West of the main road.

Mai wing!

This weekend is the Hatyai Hash outstation run somewhere in Nakhon Sri Thammarat - the details of exactly where are being kept a closely guarded secret to avoid spoiling the fun for those who are going on the car rally on Saturday morning. If you are joining in the car rally then you need to be at Buk Toy's yard tomorrow (Thursday) evening to witness the draw and to collect your car stickers. Even if you are not going on the rally you will still be welcome to join the evening which starts at 6:00 p.m. and will finish when the beer runs out.

If you are going on the outstation run but can't make the car rally, information on its whereabouts can be obtained by calling Egghead (081 9691227) on Friday evening when the details will be known to him!

For those who will be in Songkhla this weekend, there will be no official SH3 run, nor, obviously will there be an HH3 run on Sunday. There were mutterings last week about arranging an unofficial get-together, details of which will be posted here later if it happens and we get to hear about it. But the smart money is on loitering about at Bai Meang around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and just seeing who turns up!

Mel's blog and why you should run, fast and have sex but not necessarily drink beer (but red wine is ok)

1791: A hint!

The hares have done their stuff and the details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers run #1790, Saturday October 10, 2015, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Eight ball and Keeling with some minors who may for the time being remain nameless.
Misdirections: From the Ko Yo Intersection take the new Yala road for 3.5k to the run site on the left.

HH3 on the other hand have not done their stuff and we will have to await details of their run on Sunday 11th October which will no doubt be announced on Saturday.

Don't....

The process of aloting haring duties and selecting a runsite which is the Hash's way of bringing a run to you every Saturday is just taking a little longer than usual to come up with the details. So remain calm and be assured that all will become clear shortly... later today; well at latest by tomorrow morning.

1790 yesterday and HH3 today

There was a hint of nostalgia about today's SH3 run set by the Throbbin' family plus absentees Raccoon Ass and Olive Oyle, which took us up the track above Wat Keow Geow and then after a bit of loopy stuff at the top, back down the rocky trail to the runsite. Five and a half k give or take a bit of creative checking with the front runners probably home in about an hour and the last of the short runners, who were required to do most of the hill, taking a good bit longer, particularly those who have difficulty talking and following paper at the same time.
Four new runners: Jamie from Oklahoma, Konstantine from Russia and Leigh and Kanda joining our growing Saffer contingent. Lots of fun at a fairly raucous circle then on on to watch the rugby if you were up for it!
Today's HH3 run was described yesterday as Poonakan-Tungnai but is actually not far from Na Mom. From Wat Keow Kloy head down Poonakan for about 5.5k and turn left just before Wat Tungnai. Then follow the road past last week's HH3 runsite for 3.95k and look for a sign. The hares are probably Robocop and Sex Sprinter.

If I were going there I wouldn't be starting from here!

This week's runsite is illustrated above for those who are allergic of sentences containing too many conjunctions and sequencers! But for those with a strong stomach, the directions are:

Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1790, Saturday 3rd October 2015, 4:30 p.m.
Hares: Throbbin Hood, Just in - not yet,  Raccoon Ass and Olive Oyle.
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection take the Hatyai road for 4.5k and turn left into Soi 34 and go 350m, then keep left and continue for a little less than 200m, then keep left again, then go 75m and turn right and drive for 300m to the run site. If you are coming from Hatyai or anywhere beyond the Ko Yo intersection, take Kanchanawanich road heading for Songkhla for 2.6k from the intersection and U turn then come back 550m to Soi 34 then head for the conjunctions!

Hatyai H3 on Sunday? I couldn't give a toss 'cos I'm gonna be in Bangkok! Oh, Ok, it's not been announced yet; but information will undoubtedly be available tomorrow at SH3 so you'll just have to come along to find out.
