There was an occasion at a Dining-In night when Mr Vice was the subject of great amusement and embarassment. The sequence of events was something like this:
The port was circulated and the fellow officer on the right of Mr Vice only 1/2 filled his glass with port and then topped it up with cigarette lighter fluid.
The chap to the left of Mr Vice distracted him whilst glasses were switched over.
The PMC called "Mr Vice, the Queen"
Mr Vice picked up his glass, started the loyal toast with "Gentlemen"
Chap on right flicks his gas lighter at Mr Vice's glass, which immediately ignites
Who then finishes the toast with "Jesus H Christ", drops his glass and spreads fire across the table!!
