Cock Radio, on the Couch, with Mother Mary

G’dday Mother Mary mate, welcome to the Couch.

I thought you would never ask.

Well, you were on the black list after spending the entire Circle making shadow puppet dinosaur fights with Peeking Ong on my note pad while I was trying to scribe at Jalan Kampong Chantek the other week!

Sorry about that!

When did you first join the Hash?

I was at the first ON ON at the British Council running as a guest and I joined in Jan or Feb 1983.

Crikey! So how did you get your name?

I was like a hash surrogate mother to some of the younger girls.

Do you have a memorable moment?

Too many!

So you won’t tell us?

Nope!

What about your Favourite Run site?

Lorong Gambas.  It’s now taken over by the Armed Forces

I know where you mean, Sembawang Rd area. Looks a good area.

What do you like about the Hash?

Every week it’s a new week.

Yeah, I don’t like those old weeks. What do you dislike?

Politics

Best ON ON?

The ANZAC days; hangi’s prepared by the Kiwis at the Terror Club.

Don’t let the Kiwis know that they are actually remembered for something good. Anyone you particularly admire on the Hash?

It’s a secret!

Go on, you can tell me. Whisper in my ear.

Certainly not!

On the Hash you should………

Never, ever, wear new shoes!!

No, nor transparent white underwear. Any food you would not eat?

I’m a gourmand!

I’ll look that up in the dictionary later. What is your favourite run of all time?

Too many to list.

Well, that saves me some typing. You are married?

I think so.

Children?

...and grandchildren!

In that order? Could you improve the Hash?

Why?

Sorry, was just running out of questions. What changes have you noticed at the Hash over the years?

No more kampongs, kids, fowls and dogs chasing at the heels.

I hate it too when kids are snapping at your ankles. Any words of wisdom to leave us with?

Always follow Boo!

Always? So finally, do you follow your own advice?

Yes, in the old days, follow Boo and you’d never get lost, especially in the jungle.

Thanks Mother Mary, now back to your dinosaur shadow puppets.
