RUN 2370 REPORT

Did you know: The first inn on the site was recorded as opening in 1832. A subsequent structure, which was the original “Prince of Wales Hotel,” was built around 1843. This hotel was known for being patronised by waterfront workers and was the last pub in Hobart to serve beer from wooden casks. The original 1843 hotel was controversially demolished by the Cascade Brewery in 1966-1967. This act caused a significant public outcry, leading the National Trust and local community groups to rally for preservation. The existing red-brick hotel at 55 Hampden Road was built in 1967 to replace the original structure.

As requested by the JM’s I arrived early to order my selected meal and have a few beers before the trail. Lucky I did as there was a 3 car accident on Davey Street that caused quite a traffic jam from about 5.20pm.

We had been advised that numbers had been cut off as we had reached the catering limit. There was us and another group in tonight. We had 61 Booked in. Not all dressed in the Christmas spirit or brought Secret Santa presents. It was great to see some returning faces

Some to name were Chuckie & Power Pumper down from Darwin. Stakaman & Spinaker down from Cairns. Deep Roots back from the UK. Etc. We were eventually sent off by Contessa Coupla Weeks with most of the pack in some form of Red.

The first drink stop was in St Davids Park. Rum Balls, both alcoholic and non, some Sangria. Off we went again to Constitution Dock.

At the Dock we were fed Jello Shots. You needed a good tongue to be able to get it all out. They were very Nice.

Here we had various photo shots and commenced our mainly tame flash mob hash choir. We had to be tame as we were surrounded by tourists off the cruise boat and several children that we didn’t want to educate with rude words and phrases.

After Carols, we headed through passed the CSIRO to AJ White Park where we had the eski’s full of booze and tables full of food. Had to leave some room for Dinner.

It was here that Grizzly took over the reins in his GM capacity and did an impromptu Lip Session, giving the Lips the night off. Lucky I made some notes.

Some more Carols and Bad Boy Sonar as the Grinch copped a little cream. It was then on back to the Pub for tome food.

After the food, Santa appeared checking if we had been naughty or nice. Even some of the other Guests were accommodated on Santa’s knee.

There are soo many photos with Santa, you need to check the link below.

On On to the Christmas Morning Run or Taroona Beach on Monday. Prickit has promised the weather will be changeable and we might even see some yachts coming in to finish.

On! On!
Sir Eve

FUNNIES (True Stories)

Three friends—two straight guys and a gay guy—and their significant others were on a cruise. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship. Everyone drowned, and soon they were standing before St. Peter.
First came one of the straight guys and his wife. St. Peter shook his head sadly, and said, “I can’t let you in. You loved money too much. You loved it so much, you even married a woman named Penny.”
Next in line was the second straight guy and his wife. “Sorry, I can’t let you in, either. You loved food too much. You loved to eat so much, you even married a woman named Candy!”
The gay guy turned to his boyfriend and whispered nervously, “It doesn’t look good, Dick.”

The last time the circus came to town, an ad for an animal trainer was placed in the local paper.

Only two applicants showed up, a male and a female.

The owner said he could only afford one animal trainer so he would choose the one with the best act.

At first glance it appeared that the female was much better prepared because she came to the interview with a very long flowing cape, a whip and chair. The man showed up with a cigar. She looked more like a model than a trainer.

The owner asked who would like to go first, and the man said, “Ladies first.”

The female asked for her special music to be played and once the music started she entered the cage with a flurry of whip-snapping. She motioned the attendant to release the tiger.

The tiger leaped into the cage snarling. The young lady threw aside her whip, flung back her cape and sat on the chair as naked as the day she was born.

Our tiger now circled her sniffing the air and suddenly bounded to her, put its face between her legs and started licking. She threw back her head moaning, holding the tiger by the ears.

The owner looked at the man and said, “That’s quite an act. Think you can do better that that?”

The man said, “No problem, just get that tiger out of the cage first.””

A man meets a gorgeous woman in a bar. They talk, they connect, and they end up leaving together.

They go back to her place, and as she shows him around her apartment, he notices that her bedroom is completely packed with teddy bears. Hundreds of small bears are on a low shelf, medium-sized ones on a shelf a little higher and huge bears on the top shelf.

The man is kind of surprised that this woman would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that’s so extensive, but he decides not to mention this to her.

After a night of passion, as they are lying together in the afterglow, the man rolls over and asks, smiling, “Well, how was it?”

The woman says, “You can have any prize from the bottom shelf.”
