Usually a sanctuary to go and sit quietly, read a book, pick up a copy of the ship’s newspaper the Library is a little oasis of calm to go and hideaway for a while. That is the usual rule of thumb, but today unfortunately a chap came in and disturbed the usual air of calm. It all started off quite calmly and built up to the Nudge Nudge sketch from Monty Pythons Flying Circus. It started of by him informing anyone who wanted to listen that the extra soft bathrobes were on special offer in the Atrium for one day only and he could recommend them as they were beautiful and soft next to your skin (first flag) Next topic he brought was did anyone notice the Spanish Navy frigate we passed slowly while docking this morning? He was stood in his cabin window naked as we passed by (2nd flag) the frigate, that came as a shock to him and probably the sailors, at this point the library starts to empty, it’s a pity the dragon lady librarian was not in attendance as I think he would of been leaving in a hurry. He now hypothesized if it had been a lady would the sailors have got powerful binoculars out and perhaps tried to take pictures (now we have a forest of flags) Now he wondered if the Spanish navy had lady sailors, at this point he is articulating to an empty library, with several ladies giving him a few choice words as they left and threatening to report him at reception. Just when I thought it was quiet, it could end up like a game of Cluedo. Just make sure you keep your curtains drawn.
