    Should not take you long to make First Richard. You already know enough of Ship handling and Navigation to pass the Exam. I'd have you serve on my ship anytime, and I've had considerable trouble with First Lieutenants as you know.
    Bligh.

    Congratulations Richard!

    And Neil, do you know the Bishop of Norwich?

    Neil, if you are confused about the 'Bishop of Norwich':

    If a guest fails to pass the decanter on to his or her neighbour, it will come to a standstill.

    This usually happens because a guest does not notice that the decanter is there, does not realise that they should pass it on or, more rarely, hopes that no one will notice so that they can have a second glass.

    Guests waiting further down the table for the decanter to arrive may become impatient. However, it is considered bad form to demand that the decanter be passed on. Instead, the person who is preventing the decanter from continuing its journey round the table is asked politely ‘Do you know the Bishop of Norwich?’ This is a gentle reminder to get the decanter moving again. If the meaning does not sink in, the less subtle alternative ‘Is your passport in order?’ may be used.

    We just used to bang the table until either the offender or RSM noticed, if RSM he would wave fingers at the offender, if offender he would quickly pass the decanter before the RSM waved fingers in his direction :)

    And the rest of the Bishop phrase is "He's a good chap, but he always forgets to pass the port."

    I have used it in the pre-amble for my next battle. It was fresh in my mind.
