They\u2019re up for it. Gold, or silver, or bronze!<\/p>\n MickeyWarr\u2019s not joining in, he\u2019s too busy examining the Laurel and Hardy lookalikes. The big one has a wide, black, tricorn hat, and is wearing a loose fitting sackcloth shirt with most of his buttons undone, revealing a hairy chest that\u2019s as tanned as his face. Black baggy trousers are held up with a gold coloured braid instead of a belt. The sort of braid that\u2019s normally reserved for use by senior military officers as lanyards.

The wide, flowing, bell bottom trousers are held in place with a slim black leather belt. And the ornate silver handle of a rapier emerges from the top of a narrow leather scabbard at his left hip.<\/p>\n One step behind the captain is his lieutenant. She\u2019s a little taller than her boss. With her short hair and her slim build she could reasonably be mistaken for a young boy.
