I just met a neighbour on the quayside as I was watching a couple of minesweepers leave harbour. In conversation I told him I thought, though the ensigns were not visible, that they might be Belgian.

"Lucky they aren't Dutch," he said. "The entire Dutch navy is homosexual!"

And he went on to describe a time in his working life when some Dutch ambassadorial type whose effeminacy he describes clearly, had asked him at a reception if he was married, and then expressed disappointment that he was.

He's a pompous, boring old fart and there is no hope of his being made to change his ways, and I weighed up the global benefit of assuring him that we were not all effeminate versus keeping silent. I kept silent without affirming his view one way or the other.

There is a generation that has to die out. The sooner the better.
