Piratical Doings


In preparation for that truly monumental occasion, Talk Like A Pirate Day (19th September), I'm in pirate mood. Granted my 'Avast there me Hearties!' needs some work and my parrot is battery powered, but I reckon if I start getting into character now, I'll be at least an enthusiastic landlubber, even if I haven't got the accent quite right when the time comes.

To add a bit of mood I have topped both the end of my pencil and my biro with a rather natty skull. I've got the one with the eyepatch and the tricorn on my pencil, while the biro is graced by the one in the pork pie hat. For some reason Pork Pie reminds me of a chap who works for the Inland Revenue. Funny that.
