The Run
When you start a run at the top of a hill, there is fair chance that the end will involve a hill climb. And it did. But at least it was a downhill start. Down the steps by the Condo, onto Upper Bukit Timah Rd. Trail was seen heading towards Rail Mall. But it was a case of the front runners Fe wnaeth Twm lyncu’r abwyd ar unwaith. (2)
A T Check saw me and Comes Quietly cross the road towards the Nature Reserve for what surely was going to be a bit of the Nature Reserve. As we looked at the former railway line, we thought ‘Bydd rhaid i ni ladd amser cyn i’r trên ddod.’(3)
But the smart money was on back over Old Jurong Rd and up the grassy embankment by another set of Condos.
The pattern was then set for the remainder of the run. We skirted grasslands between Condos and jungle, including some gut busting hills, with a bit of road connections in between, finally ending up in the Tech whye area for a similar return trip back to the Park. Or rather the bottom of the Park, as we still had to negotiate the 207 steps up to the car park. At this stage, it was a case of Rwy’n barod i roi’r ffidil yn y tô(4) as far as running was concerned.
Front runners back in a solid 50 – 55 minutes.
The Circle: The GM, who never makes a mistake, called us together, and asked ‘What did we think of that for a Circle.’ Oh, dear. All I can say to that is ‘Mae hi’n siared trwy ei het.’(5).
Crikey, so what did we think of that for a run? Good run! Not bad for an old Welsh lady.
Tell us about your On On: Boxers Mexican treats, including chilli con carne, enchiladas and avocado salad.
Next week’s run: Kan Not Kan, who is still changing and thankfully did not come into the Circle. Heavy Vehicle Car Park under PIE, Whitley & Thompson Rd. Check the web site, as usual.
Visitors / Returnees: Phoney Dick, Bagless 2, Maryann (from Gilligan’s Island??), Totally Unacceptable, Shaggy (Bangkok Sunday Hash) and returnees Lost Marbles & Pecker Checker (ex GM) Beth wnaeth i ti ddod? Mae eisiau berwi dy ben.(6)
Virgins: Nope.
New Member: Nope.
Lipstick: Hooray, even though he wasn’t even here again tonight. Shaggy, Wet Patch, Slowcum.
Tits: The GM, having had the Tits fumigated after they found their way down Virginia Slim’s shorts last week, calls in 4 Aussies, Maggot, Sneaky Comer, Comes Quietly and Cock Radio. While Wet Brazilian was running with these 4 rascals on the way home, the question was asked by one of them, ‘What do you call 1 Brit lady amongst 4 Aussie men?’ The reply was, ‘Out of her depth.’ Nice one Maggot.
Dick: Loose Change, who has been holding the Dick for Penile Extension, overheard Shaggy Dick Too and Not Good Enough discussing the size of their knobs with Wet Brazilian. (I can vouch for this as the GM also asked me how big my knob was this week and proceeded to pull down my shorts to check. CR). Wet n Wild presented both of them with a knob each, which obviously using NZ standards she described as big knobs. (Maybe sheep size?) Not Good Enough wins the big knob award tonight, which put a smile on Give Way’s face.
Awards – Nope.
AOB:
· Stiffy is uncertain as to just how much Welsh Loose Change has in her. So a quiz battery of questions is presented to her. First Tom Jones question correct, but failed on his real name. 50% so far. With a little bit of assistance from Phoney Dick who came in and waved a Welsh flag in front of her, she correctly answered that the flag has a dragon on it. And she answers the final Welsh National Anthem correctly, thus proving that she is Welsh. And all the Welsh are in for a drink.
· Phoney Dick charges all those that wore their Scots shirts to a Welsh run. Fair suck of the sav guys, get your geography correct.
· Maggot has Cock Radio and Sneaky Comer in, and asks how we could be mistaken for each other. Well, Wet N Wild obviously can, as she spoke to me for 3 minutes from the other side of the car when I was showering and kept calling me Tony.
· Sneaky Comer calls in Not Good Enough for wearing a 1967 shirt. Does he not ever clean his wardrobe out?
· Slowcum has the Returnee GM in for showing lack of respect to the current GM by not listening to her. May as well charge the whole Circle then, cause no else listens to her either.
· Shaggy Dick Too called Slowcum in for being an old man. (Now I am confused, because I always thought he was a bit of an old woman. Dw i ddim yn deall? (7) CR)
· Herr Zipp keeps it in the family and charges Pubic Zipp. Seems she was rather confused as to why so many people were wearing green shirts tonight. He then pointed out to her that she also was wearing green.
· Sneaky Comer also is puzzled by Wet n Wild’s standards in judging what constitutes a big banana.
· Wet Brazilian was offended when Shaggy Dick Too called her flat chested. She then received no support from the rest of the Associate Members, who challenged her to prove that she is not flat chested. Hope she got that charge off her chest.
· Stiffy was not impressed when he learnt Maggot had placed bird seed on his car, thus explaining why there was a woodpecker beating the shit out of his bonnet.
· Not Tonight calls in 3 male athletes – Not Good Enough, Slowcum and Croc Hunter. Which one of these finally tuned athletes required a female therapist to work on their groin strain? Not Good Enough, judging by the moaning and hobbling he was doing.
· The GM was told on the run, ‘Out of my way, athlete coming through.’ Shoe Shopper dashed past her, only to stop 20 meters further on and walk with Wet n Wild to discuss frocks and shoes. A frocking athlete indeed.
· Slocum points out that Stiffy’s daughter, who is married to an Australian, will be giving birth soon, thus giving him an Aussie relation.
· Penile Extension challenges all those claiming to be Welsh to prove it by pronouncing the name of a certain Welsh railway station – ‘Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-gogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysilio-gogogoch.’ No one gets anywhere near it until Phoney Dick rolled it perfectly off his tongue. Well done lad.
· A reminder that the AGM is coming up. Watch for details. Sybil for GM!
· From Slim – Kampong St. Patrick’s Run Saturday 17th March. He assures us it will be great, to be sure to be sure.
On on to Boxer’s Welsh Chilli Con Carne Rabbit. Mwynhewch eich bwyd! (8)

And finally, remember these famous words of Welsh wisdom:
Paid â chodi pais ar ôl piso.(10)
In America they put woman on a pedestal but in Wales they’ve put her on their national flag.
A Welsh geologist has claimed that Wales is bigger than England because of its hills. If Wales were rolled out as flat as England, it would be the bigger country of the two.
Welsh Lamb?
A customer who had ordered some Welsh lamb from her butcher, suspected that the meat she had been given was not the genuine article.
“Are you sure this is real Welsh lamb?” she demanded, angrily.
“Well, Mrs. Jenkins”, confessed the butcher, “that lamb was really born in New Zealand but I can assure you it had Welsh parents.”
What do you call a Welshman with a stick up his bottom? A Taffy apple.
