Having been invited to the Captains table that evening we retired to the upper deck where the Captain served champagne, finding it a tad warm he left rather briskly to fetch some ice for the bucket....the blighter never returned and the ship sank shortly thereafter. The Major pronounced the evening a 'total disaster'. To top it all we ended up sharing the bottle with the rest of the lifeboat, it was however chilled to perfection...
The Colonel
