Avast behind!

Dear Mr Peenee - purveyor of filth by appointment to the Blogosphere - has reminded me once again that yesterday was "International Talk Like A Pirate Day", so once again I am late to the hornpipe... [Fnaar, fnaar!]

To make up for that egregious oversight - this!

You, too can talk like a pirate - with this handy phrasebook.

Arrr!

  4. That video is hilarious. I giggled every time he sang 'I don't like it and I'm not going to do it'. Very Kenneth Williams I thought.
    I think you should play it every "International Talk Like A Pirate Day"

  7. Pirates des Caraïbes gays :)
    Vous savez que c’est réel lorsque les hommes sont confinés sur un navire pendant des mois en mer et se saoulant au port.
    Carthagène, Nassau, Petit Goâve, Port Royal et Tortuga, imaginez les scènes lorsque les pirates étaient au port. Sans parler des corsaires sanctionnés par l'État français.
