René Lefèvre and Jean Gabin Gueule d'amour (1937) dir. Jean Grémillon
The fleet is lit up
So, on the 20th of May 1937 a British man was Drunk with a few of his palls also being drunk, Now what makes this bunch special? I did mention him after all, well this one was on top of the battleship Nelson, named after a War criminal to the Dutch and a hero too a few other people. Like he blew up Copenhagen twice that's pretty funny. Anyway On top of the Nelsol as it was called because people thought it looked like an Tanker. Very Odd ship the nelson all of the guns are in front of the Towers to make the main belt of amour less long so it wasn't as heavy.
ANYWAY SORRY DRUNK MAN. So this lad Thomas Woodrooffe so he had a job to do and this drunk man wasn't about to blast out some poor cottage or anything he was gonna say what the Spithead Navel Review and describe all the ships.
And So the "Woodrooffe Incident" started By his first line he had already described the fleet as fairy land.
Right thats the first One and now tags.
I hate tags silly things

sneak peek below the bar!! italics is 1895 and normal is present times (1937)
“Mommy, mommy!! Tell us a tale!” The Queen beamed as she strolled into her children’s impressive boudoir, made out of only the finest, most exquisite elements. “What tale would you like to hear tonight, my dears?” The children glance at each other and snicker slightly, “Tell us how you became Queen!!” The Queen raises her eyebrows in shock, “Why would you want to learn about that? I see my busy bees have been doing their research about the monarchy?” The Queen reaches over and ruffles their hair up. “Mhm!” They reply, smiles bright on their faces. “Okay, my little smart cookies. I’ll tell the tale. Our tale begins in March of 1895, the Queen had just thrown a big birthday ball for her only son weeks before…”
The ball was magnificent and festive, striking colors all throughout. And the birthday boy, Prince Johnny J. Suh, clad in the fanciest royal suit anyone had ever seen! He looked dashing, breathtaking even, all of the princesses from different areas wanted him. Yet, he rejected them all. He yearned for a soulmate, a lover, someone to deeply connect with, not some stuck up princess who only wanted him for his dashing looks and riches. He simply refused to dance with anyone and kept to himself the entire night, his night.
Towards midnight, when all of the evil stepsisters had gone to wipe off their hideous makeup and abuse their Cinderella at home, the Queen furiously stalked up to her son, and she slapped him. “What the hell is wrong with you? Johnny J. Suh, I did not raise you to turn down such beautiful women a chance to become your Queen! How am I supposed to trust that you’ll rule our land well when you’re father and I are gone?” He looked down at his feet and quietly grumbled, “It’s not like you really raised me at all.” The Queen almost missed his snarkiness with how quiet he was. Almost. “What did you just say to me? Do not ever disrespect me again, boy, or so help me God-” He grimaced and held his hands protectively in front of his face in annoyance. “I got it, Ma, never disrespect the Queen.. yada yada.” He walked away, getting in the horse carriage designed to take him home. He looked at his mother one last time, who looked at him with swirls of disappointment in her brown eyes, and the horse rode off into the night sky.
