the bishop
Before the bishop arrived in POM, he was based in Rabaul.
One night he was having dinner with young lass at the Kuhlar Lodge ( cannot remember how "Kuhlar" was spelt, but sounds the same ). Anyhow he ordered a bottle of red wine, the wine was delivered to the table by the drinks boi already opened and with no CORK.
One of the senior F/O's was also having dinner there and saw and heard the lecture the drinks guy received.
Well "Corky ", went to town, about, selection, age , type, etc, etc , then demanded the CORK be brought to the table immediately.
The CORK arrived at the table poste haste, where upon CORKY continued to display his great lack of knowledge of wines.
The drinks boi had grabbed any CORK, the nearest Cork, then presented it to the table, trouble was that CORKY didn't notice that it was a white wine CORK !!
Rob McG, nearly broke up, so early next he contacted, the local DJ, whom we all knew and asked him to play a special request around 1000, dedicated to the well known AAPNG f/o, fra**", CORKY,
madd**n.
The song was sung by Dean Martin and named,
LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKING ME
CORKY, nearly went ballistic, whilst the rest of us where rolling around the floor in fits of laughter and tears in our eyes.
Once again, well done Rob.
On an earlier post, mention was made that the Health inspector, Bishop, CORKY had passed away, I haven't heard that, could someone please elaborate
Apinun
Cheers
