Brisbane River Run

Since Superhacker was flying to the UK at the time of the walk/run, this report is a compilation of hearsay, "faction", and other scurrilous gossip sourced from various hacks on the ground including LeW*nk and Haughty

Last Sunday we once again dusted down our passports to  travel across the water to where's the beef and In your Dreams' West End Hide away. There was a small group to start, then Jake the Peg and Parasite, both Bayside hashers, and a former Neighbour of In your dreams Beate joined our merry Clan, The run was along the Brisbane river dodging bikes, bogs and prams. This time of year the low life of west end come out to play [Le W*nk will elaborate next time but I'm sure we augmented them]
The run/walk was long but good. The The OnOn  had a Americano theme. [I googled this and this is what I found (Superhacker)]



LeW*nk says this was great and big thanks to In your Dreams and Where's the Beef,

 Meanwhile in India ...

We enjoyed Goa beach, where Culture, starved of intelligent conversation, at last found someone to talk to. 



We then cleverly flew to Chennai, just before the airport was closed because of flooding, and made it to our hotel just before it became impossible to leave it....

Three days later, we are finally out of Chennai after going a bit stir crazy The locals, washed out of their devastated shanty towns, have no idea how we suffered - no wi-fi, no mobile reception, no hot showers, and no beer....


Here are a few shots. On the first day we were  trapped there, the street outside the hotel was flooded to about waist deep, and Payback launched a paper boat with a SOS message (it didn't work). On the second day the water in the street was chest deep and the hotel foyer was flooded to a depth of about 30 cm. We thought this sort of thing only happened in Brisbane.
