MARK IN THE NAVY

And so my good friend Mark R is leaving us to join Her Majesty's Navy.

Since leaving Renault in October, Mark has spent time getting fit and travelling round in a transit selling credit cards to students, but the time has now come for him to realise his ambition and join our country's national defence as a pilot. Loyal to the royals, proud to represent the country and intent on putting the world to rights, Mark joins with a bouncing bomb of patriotism bunged in on the way.

But it's precisely this that worries me. For those of you that have ever met Mark, his approach to certain aspects of life can only be described as 'unusual'. Mark is a man that walks down the street jabbing oncoming women with an umbrella; a man that greets people with "morning, squire" and a salute; a man that buys a newspaper wearing nothing but a pair of red boxers; and a man that uses the line "may I say, that's a SMASHING blouse you have on" when chatting up women.

And he's going to defend the country? All I have to say about that is SPLENDID. Good luck Mark, keep in touch and we'll miss you.

But hopefully he'll send me his photos and I'll dedicate a photo album to him.....
