I mean, you can keep the pomade, and a proper shave is a more frequent thing but buy no means essential but I'll run with the rest...

Shame my line of questioning was based around the use of Pomade, this evening i am wearing some "murray's superior".

I sometimes edge towards the scruffy end of casual but only at weekends

For my last birthday, a dear friend of mine bought me some sealing wax on the grounds that he was 'unsure of what to get' me but it was probably something that I, as a proper gent, undoubtedly already possessed.

I did not, thanked him for his gift and deposited it in my inlaid rosewood writing box.

As I also pointed out, I ain't no gent.

I own a smoking cap - if you Google Lock & Co embroidered smoking cap you'll see one.

My American millionaire friend.

Was at his London house one time foolishly attempting to cook a meal in his spacious kitchen. Only half the implements were missing. He eats in restaurants, take away or charcuterie.

So I was berating him for not having a sharp knife of a sufficient size, no colander and some other bits... How was a person to cook in this house?!

Nah.

Not in to militaria.

Did a degree in War, funnily enough. Became abundantly clear within a week that 95% of the intake were going to or coming from the armed forces... and then there were the rest of us who thought it seemed interesting.

Hmmm.

So. End of the first year I get some award for being Fuck of the Year or something and get invited to a gala dinner thing. There's cash involved so I said yes.

What did I do?

Wore a black velvet 3-piece, blood-red shirt & tie, bleached then dyed all my hair, eyebrows, face furniture the lot bright RED, then painted flames coming off the bottoms of my black boots.

Then I went to the dinner.

They were like, WTF are you?!

I'm here for the money.

They hated me lololol.

I'm not sure I'd be cut out as a Naval officer tbh, I'm not good with authority and I'm not good in white as I'm forever spilling things. Allegedly.

Unless, maybe, I'd get HMS Warspite to play with.

Maybe get two and have them fitted out with giant paint ball guns and trot around Polynesia taking pot shots at each other.

With cocktails?

Naval officers cannot be addressed as gentlemen, as they broke their word. Hence the salutation "ladies , gentlemen and naval officers".
