The Captain after a very good lunch, wearing his We Will Rock You" badgeSome would say that to see the Captain once in a week would be unfortunate, and to see him twice would be downright careless, but I’m not of that school. However, this occasion presented itself this week when the Campo’s came to stay last weekend in order for Ben & Bev to bond with the Chameleons Hockey Club (ex-RAF Akrotiri) whilst watching We Will Rock You, resulting in the Chairman & First Lady being in loco parentis for 26 hours 13 minutes. We all managed to survive, the experience, although I think both Liz and I would think twice about feeding the Mollster full fat caffeinated Coke before a testing tube journey back form central London. Daisy almost not getting off the train at our home station was another potentially hazardous occasion we managed to avert, but the all was forgiven after a very large G & T to calm the Chairman’s nerves and a good nights sleep.
So, to the Captain’s club for his official 38th birthday lunch on Thursday, which was a typically splendid affair. The Captain merrily demolished the veal, preceded by marinated salmon and followed with a large offering from the cheese trolley, which seemed strangely apt. The Chairman had similar, although not in so large a quantity, and satisfactorily managed to avoid insulting a waitress, which the Captain singularly failed to do, by firstly suggesting that she was firstly Polish and then East German (she was, in fact from the West of the land of the Hun). Old habits die hard, as they say in the Witham.
The Captain will be 38 on February 23rd. His birthday party is being sponsored by Grecian 2000.
