Total: 7000.-HUF

Double Entry (TT's lovely daughter) got ill and left before the start.
PP didn't pay on the trail, on the other hand.
The three of them (i.e. PP, TT and DE) can settle the matter of the unpaid and the unreturned 1000.-HUF hash fee amongst themself, I presume, just to simplify the question.
At the end only 4000.-HUF of the collected 7000.-HUF hash fee was spent on down-down beverages.
The remaining 3000.-HUF stayed with me, still burning my pocket and is waiting for spending it for further good hash purposes.
Some more Hash Trash on the above event:
The weather was close to ideal for hashing, maybe a bit warmer.
If I'm informed well, our hare (Olya IN) recently got her Masters degree at BME Uni in Budapest.
Congratulations!!!/:+))
This may mean the beginning of a completely new hash era at a higher degree in Budapest, including the level of hash mismanagement and confusion.
Instead of one (and only one) Meeting Point, for instance, there were two given in the preliminary instructions, initiating a chain of mishaps.
In addition, just to aggravate the situation, bus 140 was recommended to get from Meeting Point One to Meeting Point Two.
Too bad, but this bus line 140 works only on weekdays and is out of service on Sundays, that is on the very days of our Sunday hash runs.
As a result, we had lost and never could see Pistol Pecker, the visitor from Abu Dhabi Hash.
What I exceedingly regretted, because I hoped to get from him some fresh hash news about my good old friends, with whom I was running together first in the Hashemite HHH in Amman, Jordan, back in the nineties of the previous century.
Last time I happened to meet some of these old hash buddies on a hash in the United Emirates in 2007.
One of them was the Welsh Nancyboy, probably the best RA I ever knew, a top showman in hash Circle ceremonies, or his charming Nancy, aka Kung Fu.
(See the attached photos.)
Anyway, IN had laid a more or less correct - uphill only, of course - hash trail through shady forests, plus a long main road section with excellent exhaust perfumes in the air, starting from the town of Budaörs and leading up to Normafa hilltop region, passing by the rundown experimental nuclear reactor of KFKI in Csillebérc, so all hashers could arrive to the end with radiant faces.
One More Trail homed first and PP was the last, as usual. Trying to demonstrate that hashing is definitely not a competitive sport, they had to drink a down-down together, with arms linked.
Strange enough, but there were no Beer Stops on the trail, nor any FA Stops, and not even one from the many possible Hash View Stops on the way, neither.
Was it intended, eventually, as a hidden collective punishment from her, for instance for being the slowest hash on earth, as earlier she had popularized BPH3 in e-public?
(Well, this is just one of the possible presumptions.../:+))
At the end, except for a few short high tech e-contacts, we couldn't see IN in reality, neither before, nor during, least in the Circle after the hash, what we wished very much, mainly for giving her a few well deserved down-downs.
(I wonder if could it be this newly gained degree that made her invisible for us, lay hashers?/:+))
Marlow is famous about a chain bridge over river Thems, a scaled down prototype of our Chain Bridge over the Danube river in Budapest, as both bridges were designed by the same engineer, Adam Clark.
It turned out, too, that Marlow HHH has also some really nice, kind and enthusiastic hashers, at least so were the couple who had visited us this time from there.
After the Circle they generously volunteered to pay the first round of drinks, ordered before the Circle in the nearby resto.
Thank you very much, Dear Mad Hatter & Whiplash.
I better admit that On Time and I had a small debate about staying out from traditional hash procedures, like participation in the Circle.
She said it's none of my business.
I nurture a quite different opinion.
I think it is the very business of the GM to maintain hash discipline and fight back such individualistic, antisocial behavior, which erodes hash morals of the others, too.
Hashers have to respect and submit themselves to age old hash rules.
People who despise hash traditions, should find other running/walking groups for themselves, not BPH3.
There are plenty such companies around...
Seemingly we don't have hare(s) yet for the next (No. #1785) BPH3 hash due on Sunday, 29/June/2024.
Sorry folks, this time I can't help you, in my choir I'll be busy performing a classic concert on that particular day, singing in musical pieces quite different from the usual hash songs...
However, do have many happy hashes, it can be easier in my absence!/:+))
On-On, Rabies
