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)

Is piracy on the high seas still a capital offence (alongside setting fire to Her Majesty's Dockyards, slaying the Chancellor, and so on)?

I understand that all remaining capital offences were taken off the books with the full incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law.

I've just read through this thread with some enjoyment. I'm afraid my utter ignorance of Pirate is only marginally less utter this year. Still, I can post a photo of Nureyev in Le Corsaire again.  EDIT: Perhaps this photo will work. |

Arrrrr and avast, Ma'm Chambers, we be pleased to our gunwales to see a lubber as like swab our scabby decks. Arrrr.
Trans. It would be awfully nice to see a picture of Mr Nureyev portraying a pirate. But only at a time that is convenient to you, Mrs Chambers. Thanks awfully. Toodle pip.

Avast there, mister Garnett! I may ha' been becalmed in the doldrums awhile by your fine an' fancy clock but I had those scurvy dogs o' mine (Callie and Kender) a-rowin' with all their might, and here I be.
