The engineer, a fifth generation mariner, joined the Royal Navy when he was 19.
On September 27 2020, he discovered that his wife, Sian, a petty officer, was being deployed to the Falkland Islands – where she currently is serving – earlier than anticipated.
The engineer, who has served for nearly eight years, drank a considerable amount of alcohol before heading back to his room that he was sharing with three of his colleagues.
In the room, situated on the third and top floor of the HMS Sultan, a shore base of the Royal Navy in Gosport, Bulcock disabled the fire alarm so he could smoke on his vape in an act that was out of character .
Having people here, having guests here, being able to serve, that s what the hospitality business thrives on, said Sayd.
To stay afloat, Sayd says they re applying for grants set aside for the entertainment industry. Other local theater owners are doing the same. The 93-year-old La Paloma in Encinitas is back open, but with fewer patrons. We have about 400 seats so it s easy to spread out and maintain the social distancing, said owner Allen Largent. I think a lot of people are a little hesitant to get back out. A lot of people are anxious.
The La Paloma is very different from the more modern multiplex theaters. When it opened in the 1920s it was showing silent films. Now, it s the only remaining single-screen cinema in San Diego.
ENCINITAS
People who love the historic La Paloma Theatre in downtown Encinitas are putting together a fund-raising concert Saturday to kickstart a campaign to bring the place back to its former glory.
“It’s going to be a real long-term campaign to fix the place up,” said event organizer Danny Salzhandler of the 101 Artists Colony, mentioning that the concert will likely be the first of many.
He said the group is off to a fine start with Saturday night’s “Love the Dove” event, which will star Eagles songwriter Jack Tempchin, Celtic Thunder’s Keith Harkin, anti-folk movement pioneer Cindy Lee Berryhill and local folk luminary Darius Degher.
