Silk Stockings On The Beeb 2
5 Answers
This has prompted my grey cells as to a good yarn.
Red Adair, he of oil fighting fame with Boots and Coots, and made a fortune out of putting out all the Kuwaiti fires post Saddam's invasion by bringing up a jet engine on a skid and literally blowing the wells out, well he was at the Royal Aberdeen Golf Club.
http://
So were those old Ryder Cup golfing colleagues and good friends, Eric Black (of Scotland), Dai Rees (Wales) and Christy O'Connor (of Ireland), post a round.
"That's Red Adair!"
"No, it's not."
"Yes it is."
and so on.
Eric Black gets up and wanders across to the bar. "Gather you are Red Adair?"
"Yes I am."
"Let me get you a drink."
"Bourbon and water, please."
A conversation ensued - partly along the lines of 'I wish you could help keep those Sassenachs out of our waters' and eventually Eric goes back and says, "Yes, it is Red Adair."
The other two weren't convinced and up went Dai Rees, same thing, same drink order and a conversation along the lines of ' I wish you could come and find some black gold in Wales rather than that hard stuff we have.'
He comes back to the table.
Christy O'Connor gets up and goes across to the bar. With his heavy Irish brogue, he asks. "I gather from Eric and Dai that you are indeed Red Adair?"
"Yes I am, Sir."
"Let me get you a drink."
"Another Bourbon and water, please."
Christy gets in his Jameson's and has a draught of it.
"Now, can you tell me what it was like dancing with Ginger Rogers...."
