beccaelizabethSoldiers and a sailor in fight to be Mr Gay UK
Mr Plymouth stood slightly apart from the other contestants playing Trivial Pursuit in the guest house reception. Steve Grant, a 22-year-old Royal Navy weapon engineer, only came out to half of his friends and family earlier in the week when he discovered that he was able to attend the final because his submarine had docked earlier than expected. Despite his nerves, he felt he was in with a reasonable chance.
Last year's winner, a young PC called Mark Carter, romped to victory when he took to the stage in full police garb, including stab-proof vest, for the "dress to impress" round. Grant was hoping his sailor suit could do the same for him.
There was momentary consternation when Mr Edinburgh, student A J Ward, 19, discovered that his nearest geographical rival, Mr Glasgow, was also planning to dress as a "sexy squaddie". But Ward decided that he had the upper hand. "I bet his trousers don't rip off like this," he said, miming pulling off his trousers in one.
... I'm getting a sudden terrible fic bunny involving Stargate.
... See, this is the kind of thing the US military is missing out on.
;-)
(The bit about the guy who only just came out made me LOL. Imagine that conversation!)
