We do need strong leadership on our ships, don’t you think?

Dude’s a fag...

Doubt it, the newspaper article specifically referred to "an unnamed male officer" involved who could also be in big trouble for being in the sack with the soon-to-be sacked officer. Also noted that she was divorced from some other service guy.

Truth to tell, she's not that bad looking... for a Brit.

Well I saw the thing comin’ out of the sky
It had the one long horn, one big eye
I commenced to shakin’ and I said “ooh-eee”
It looks like a purple eater to me

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One eye?)

Well he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don’t eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn’t eat you cuz you’re so tough

It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin’ purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (One horn?)

I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what’s your line
He said it’s eatin’ purple people and it sure is fine
But that’s not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band

Doesn’t the RN still still serve ‘tots’ of rum daily, don’t they? Perhaps more than several tots of rum in this case.

there is one exception to the rules, and that is:

men and women can be friends IF neither find each other attractive.
