Sounds absolutely terrible. I can only guess this was some horrible RLC function where everyone was wearing white socks.

As much as the RLC deserve abuse, white socks must surely have been the RAF.

My first Mr Vice went fine until PMC got up and asked Mr Grace, The Vice :D

Cue spluttering and bottles of port all round

Good night had...and I used the Selkirk Grace

[QUOTE=Oracle;24524]1. *Get [b]ALL[/b] the details from the PMC - write them on a piece of card, learn the routine and keep the card so that you can have a last minute check before sitting down to dinner. Do [b]NOT[/b] take advice from others as gospel - some wicked people want to have bit of a laugh.

2. *Stay sober until you are in the barafterwards. *Do not drink before sitting down, have one or two glasses of wine at the table and try and drink as little port as possible.

3. * Watch out for:
a. *Mobile phones taped under the table or chair - they go off at inopportune moments.
b. *Your port glass may have a hole drilled in it.
c. *Cutlery tied to your chair.
d. *Talcum powder in your napkin.

......and a whole host of other 'triffic wheezes.

Hope I havn't spoilt anyones fun... ;)[/QUOTE]

Having your chair stolen is always a good one.....i remember mine well. The talcum powder trick was ......interesting. Just enjoy the night and dont panick.

When I was Mr Vice I had the dubious honour of receiving 5 fines!

Not ringing the bell loud enough, taking upbrage with the RSM when he told me this (worth two) , not ringing the bell quick enough when the pmc called an unscheduled comfort break, one for good measure

What chipshop outfit do you belong to? Mr Vice... most junior member of the mess having people in front of the badge?
