A RHUM DO, BEATING
THE BOUNDS OF 2
COMMONS
Only many years after
RHUM began hashing with
Surrey did I learn that his
handle had no link to the
Hebridean island. It is an
acronym, and the U stands (!)
for Upstanding. Today he
stood proud, celebrating his
down-down with an
entertaining and witty song
about dogging. He had set a
trail in a well-known area,
making good use of the lesshashed environs of Wisley, and
if we recognised some
stretches from recent runs,
others were unfamiliar.
Clutching Hand once set us a 2
hour run by using Ripley;
RHUM was more merciful.
After Bolder Mere we lost
the flour: all credit to the
determined, such as Ballista,
who persevered and re-found
it. She, Popeye and J.Arthur
had seen that from the second
car park (which Ear Trumpet
insists is the authentic
dogging centre of Ockham
Common) the solution had to
be to the Mere. Thereafter
most of the successes at
solving checks must be
credited to Atalanta. Surrey is
privileged to have such an
array of female front runners,
all conspicuous today: Knee
Trembler, Speedy Humper,
No Nookie, Chastity Belt.....
A record was set by the sip
stop, Pimms served after only
27 minutes running. It was
good to see the drinkers taking
care to eat the fruit in our
cups. (All the same, rum
would have been a good joke.)
Dormouse and Ballista both
brought dogs to the dogging
arena, but the canines seemed
to come through these
dangers doggedly. Bonn
Bugle called Dormouse in for
this reason, after punishing
half the hash for their sex
lives; it is just as well for our
finances that the quantity of
drink served as down-downs
is so much diminished from
the heady days of hashing 30
years ago, when the hare
never had less than a pint to
swallow in one go. And later
we had that appalling rubber
chicken, you will recall. Ah,
those were the days.
Much of our trail was set
alongside the M25 and the
A3; to be candid, at times I
confused the two, just as I
went wrong at the check after
the Pimms stop, knowing the
hare was aware there is a
public footpath through the
RHS gardens, where once Red
Eye went trespassing, to catcall cries from the pack "No
Danes allowed!". But no,
today we stayed on Wisley
Common. We were back on
the car park side of the A3
after 50 minutes, with a shortcut signed for the slow;
RHUM then sent us on a long
loop, with our consciences
complicated by Le Pro's
discovery far too soon of an
On-In sign. We elected to
follow Atalanta and continue
elsewhere, smugly conscious
of our moral quality. Naturally
your scribe was asked how he
described the loop, his
original epithet for Le Pro's
loop at Wood Street,
"meaningless", having been
distorted to "pointless".
Today's loop was necessary; it
was also scenic, and took us
as tradition requires to the
telegraph tower. Talking of
signals, President Obama's
visit has flagged up UK parity
with the US; we have in Boris
Johnson the very features of
egocentricity, amb itio n,
absurdity and danger which so
distinguish Donald Trump.
A song accompanies the
credits at the close of the film
"Miss Potter", a young woman
(Katie Melua) with a gentle
restrained voice and a very
English accent singing "When
You Taught Me How To
Dance" . I fo u nd th i s
astonishing. Most love songs
today are anything but gentle,
on the contrary urgent with
emotion, and singers - with
the US and the ordinary
British public in mind prefer a mid-Atlantic voice.
RP is heard nowadays only in
the songs of Benjamin
Britten. But Ketevan Melua
came from Georgia, part of
the USSR when she was
born, and can make her own
rules. Nor does anyone
expect to be taught to dance;
you jump up without holding
a partner and move to the
rhythm. Imagine today's
newcomers to the dance floor
mastering the military twostep or the mazurka.

Life’s a beach
On a beautiful desolate island in the middle of nowhere, the following group of people are shipwrecked:
2 Italian men and 1 Italian woman; 2 French men and 1 French woman; 2 German men and 1 German woman; 2 Greek men and 1
Greek woman; 2 Bulgarian men and 1 Bulgarian woman; 2 Japanese men and 1 Japanese woman; 2 Chinese men and 1 Chinese
woman; 2 Australian men and 1 Australian woman; 2 Irish men and 1 Irish woman; 2 English men and 1 English woman.
A month later, the following things have happened:
One Italian man has killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman.
The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a ménage-à-trois.
The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits with the German woman.
The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them.
The two Bulgarian men took one long look at the endless ocean, another long look at the Bulgarian woman, and started swimming.
The two Japanese men have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions.
The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy, a liquor store, a restaurant and a laundry, and have got the woman pregnant in order
to supply employees for their stores.
The two Australian men are contemplating suicide because the Australian woman keeps complaining about her body; the true nature
of feminism; how she can do everything they can do; the necessity of fulfilment; the equal division of household chores; how sand and
palm trees make her look fat; how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do; how her relationship
with her mother is improving, and how at least the taxes are low and it isn't raining.
The two Irish men have divided the island into North and South and have set up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets sort of foggy after the first few litres of coconut whisky. But they're satisfied because at least the English aren't
having any fun.
The two Englishmen are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman.
That bloody car!
