After eleven years of driving buses for Foxy’s Premium Coach Travel, Mick Murrays knows a few things.
Whether it’s how to best stack 48 suitcases into an undercarriage, or the location of every toilet stop between Port Macquarie to Port Curtis, Mick’s brain is full of wisdom thanks to his years on the road.
But if there’s one thing Mick knows better than most, it’s how to turn on the charm and give a gaggle of old ducks a case of the blushed cheeks.
Putting on a hell of a performance this morning down at Betoota Bus Depot, Mick was spotted laying it on thick to six retirees who were transiting to Brisbane to join a P&O Cruise.
“Well well ladies, this looks like a birthday cruise to me! Which of you girls is turning 21?” Mick flirted, as he checked in the group of women and their 32kg suitcases.
“You girls couldn’t be a day over 25!”
Tickled pink by the advances of a handsome man in a starched shirt and knee high socks, the group of seniors from Betoota Bridge Club cackled with glee, some even touching Mick’s shoulder rather affectionately, to let him know they were fair game.
“Actually don’t tell me, you’re heading to a hens cruise aren’t yous!?” Mick continued, sweeping both the girls and their bags off their feet, as he stamped their tickets and assisted them up the bus steps.
“Are you sure he’s husband material this time, important to get it right the second time round” Mick continued, getting a wink from one old girl called Joan who was beside herself with laughter.
“You girls keep this up and I might be joining you on the cruise ship. Just call me Bobby Darin, come sail away with me!”
