ahhhh BOULIA...! thems the days!

I always liked the fact that Bundy mixed with XXXX was a popular drink! not watering it down with Coke, or Ice, or air!

Shame that the run that was, is no longer. Some of my fondest flying memories on that run. As well as the breakdowns, and getting "home" on a Tuesday instead of a Sunday, due Birdstrike, hydraulic failure, Mag failure etc etc.

I always found that one had to be careful as to HOW much info the pax either knew or wanted. It was ALWAYS good to find out if they were American or Canadian, as one can tell a few more porkies to one group over t'other!

There was nothing too hard about that run, nor was there any reason it couldn't either MAKE money, or be cost neutral!


Hottest I ever saw it was 56C, so Grange was NOT the drink of choice!!!! however, when Pinky bought along a few "gems", it would have been rude NOT to partake! even ruder to let him finish the bottle(s) solo!

Just remember tho' Pinky .... you DON'T give strawberries to pigs!
