Re: [Merged] Talk like a Pirate Day

Just reminding you all that September 19th is "Talk Like A Pirate Day"

No doubt you'll appreciate the importance of marking this occasion, so you may want to visit the official website: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

This dispenses all sorts of helpful advice and even gives pick-up lines for those would-be Blackbeards to use on the wenches that they fancy. Examples of these are:
  • Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
  • Come on up and see me urchins.
  • I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.
  • Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?
  • How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
  • Youââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢re drinking a Salty Dog? Howââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢d you like to try the real thing?
  • Thatââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s the finest pirate booty Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve ever laid eyes on.That's some treasure chest youââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢ve got there.
So remember, September 19th ye lubbers! Arrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Re: [Merged] Talk like a Pirate Day

Ah! That explains why the Union Jack flag was taken down from Havering Town Hall yesterday and replaced with the Jolly Roger!
I knew there had to be a logical reason for it. Obviously some forward thinking council worker was publicising the event in advance

(And no, it wasn't me, before anyone asks - I don't like heights!)
