Oh dear! Just had a phone call.....more bad news.Apparently the Admiral and the Captain had a fight...over a woman!It’s
AGA ...and her purple bloomers.
The Admiral said he had first dibs on a sight of them, and the Captain said no, he did, and it went from there, they were rolling about on the deck of HMS Dreadnought kicking and punching and had to be separated by four able seamen.The shame?
The upshot of this debacle is that the Captain, in assaulting a senior officer should really be courtmartialled or something, but the Admiral, wanting to hush things up decided instead to flog the Captain round the fleet.So he did...he got a fiver for him from the crew of HMS Impossible ( they had somehow ‘lost’ their own Captain at sea and neglected to tell anybody about it.)So, flogged off for a fiver, not a bad deal really.
The thing is, HMS Impossible is now at sea and won’t be back in port until next month, so we will have to do without him for a while.☹️
The Admiral will be here on Friday night, once he has recovered.You see what wearing purple bloomers does to a man?
