I'm thinking that being a Bristolian might give you a head start on talking like a pirate? :-p

Oh, VC, you've really shivered me timbers with that bag!

And that poster alone is worth at least eight pieces of eight - it's priceless!

But avast me hearties, I simply can't believe it's been a whole year since these piratey shenanigans appeared on the poop deck of your blog. It seems like only yesterday that I was raiding Davey Jones's locker for pirate slang!

(Ok, so I may have looked at Pirates of the Caribbean again ...)

Talking of which .... Johnny Depp .... Arrrrrrrrrr!!
