Aharr! I take it ye haven't heard the tale of the John Deer then, IRF? She were sunk in a Spanish Cornfield (the landowner had started with fish farming) and the tales do say, on a moonlit noight you can hear the sound of her ghostly "rumble rumble thud gurgle rumble rumble thud" as she tries to make for friendly shores.

Bother, I can't see the photo I posted of Nureyev dressed (very approximately) as a pirate in "Le Corsaire". I'll try another one.  A few minutes later: the first one's appeared. Sorry I'm not talking Pirate - ballet is as near as I get. |

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife, is what that Austen hussy do say. I do say `tis a load of barnacles an` oid `ave `er keelhauled afore the sun were over that yard arm. Then she`d be orf the end of that plank sooner `an you could winkle out a winkle. Now, where`s me grog? Arrrr. Is that any better? asked Penelope anxiously.  |

At every one of these [classical] concerts in England you will find rows of weary people who are there, not because they really like classical music, but because they think they ought to like it. (Shaw, Don Juan in Hell)

Thank you, Martle. Wasn't he just wonderful? Getting a bit off-topic here, I suppose, but I expect pirates talk about cordwangling, too . |

Arhh, For'a very silly book about pirates, I recommend this book: The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists (it's really balmy; there are others in the same series I've not read yet...)

OH I think I've read one of those books. Once. Very briefly. Maybe actually just looked at the chapter-titles, actually. |
