"Corkage": K*~aw~ay,j: (Noun)
A small fur-covered rodent, with no chin. Native to Northern Austrailia. It's bite is poisonous, but not lethal. It bites only when disturbed and frightened.
Unique in nature; this creature is the only known animal to have evolved agrophobia as a natural defence against predators, preferring instead to reman in it's burrow all day and only forage for food in the dark. It is largely due to this fact that the animal was undiscovered for many years, and also the relativly rare incident of a Corkage bite being reported.

So thats what "Corkage" is? Erm, and we can use them to Err, purchase Stout, Ale, Vodka?,
Any body else joining the fray tis evening, was there any particular reason we were gathering here?, Perhaps to enjoy the view, the company, or the wildlife?
So now I know what "corkage" is, Ahhhhhhh
(Stout)

Shea the Sarcastic Posted Apr 21, 2001

Now there's a thought. Maybe we should re-locate from beneath the dripping moss clad walls of the colapsed ruins of The Strand underpass to the shiny sands of Bondai Beach 
Non?

Just for the record:
Corkage is actually a fee paid for bringing your own booze to, for instance, an unlicenced restaurant.
Sorry if I was a little delayed in explaining that....
