Her Majesty's Ship is Alongside!
My cousin Lt RC is a Merlin pilot in the British Royal Navy. Earlier this week, he told me that one of his friends, Jack A (who also flies a Merlin), would be in town with his ship and asked if I would meet up with him. My cousin is one of the most outstanding guys I know (I'm not being biased, he really is) so I figured that he wouldn't hang out with losers. I agreed to meet with Jack A and we had our first "blind date" on Thursday.
Neither my cousin nor Jack A would tell me what the latter looked like. In fact, in one of his smses to me, my cousin wrote, "He's about 3 foot 6! Face like a comfortable pair of slippers. Friendly smile. When you see someone like that, call his number, I bet it'll be him who picks up!". Not really something to instill a whole lot of confidence, so I was a little bit apprehensive about meeting him.
I got to the bar early and found myself a corner to hid in. Shortly afterwards, a very pleasant looking man walked in and looked around. Luckily, he was a wee bit taller than 3 foot 6 and my cousin was right, he did have a very friendly smile. Also, he has gorgeous killer blue eyes!
We had drinks and dinner and I don't think I stopped talking or laughing for the entire time. Jack A is a great guy and we even called my cousin and left a semi-drunken message on his answering machine! As it was a school night, we cut the evening short and agreed to meet up again the following night.
On Friday, Rachel, Natalie and myself joined Jack A and the Seaman Officers for drinks at the Insane Creature with a Trunk. Some of the SOs were pleasant enough but personally, I still think pilots are the best!!
We ended up at a dance club where I ran into some other friends, including my all time favourite Aussie, Crazy C, who told me that after seeing my dragon tat, he wanted to get an eagle tattooed across his entire chest! For your own sake honey, I hope that you are just kidding!
We all went out again on Saturday with the usual suspects, this time including Oral Fix and Andy. There was also a few people that I'd only met a couple of times before. Jack A came with an Engineering Officer, who is one of those seemingly quiet on the surface but has a wicked sense of humour type guys. A lot of fun to chill with and very down to earth.
I don't think the two Brits were quite prepared for our crowd. Besides simulated 'pole dancing', one of the girls also conducted a hands on "who has the biggest package" poll! For a change, it wasn't me getting up to mischief. I was too tired from partying the night before and just watched all the naughtiness with amusement.
Well, the ship will be back in a couple of weeks and hopefully, Jack A will be able to get us on board and give us a tour. When we were at the Insane Creature with a Trunk the night before, I had asked Jack A as a joke (sort of), "Can we come into your cabin?!". At that exact moment, the music dropped and a woman sitting at the table next to us looked at me askanced and said, "I heard that!!".
Oops!
