[ohnoaninfp]

I don't speak like a pirate, because it isn't my thing.

[nobarcode]

Pirate speak while in a Zentai suit. Now, how disturbing would that be?

[jimkopelli]

Depends on whether or not you dress the parrot up too. Space pirate?

Cynic... That's why there's a piratespeak day. It's for letting it all out, and all that blather.

Ahoy, matey: one day we'll find a tavern close by the docks, wi' a few willin' wenches* bestowed beside, an' quaff rum as the mighty sun sinks below the 'orizon, and discuss ole Bristol Town.

Remember Adge Cutler ! **

* When I was working there a year back, in the Fishponds area, I saw a sweet lass being interrogated by a coupla gendarmes. Made my blood boil. Girls have got to live.

** There could be a Wurzel-speaking day. Ooh-Arr.
Who does one suggest these things to ? The Deputy Prime Minister's Office ?

The usual procedure is to make a website and/or a bet, then proselytize like crazy. (yet another useful big word... yay!)

Too much like work. Anyway, let's be frank: no-one outside Britain has ever heard of the Wurzels. [ 1970s west-country farm-worker accents humorous singing group, whose greatest hit was, 'I've Got A Gurt Big Combine-'arvester n' I'll Give You The Key' Mr. Cutler was their lead singer & died hitting a roundabout in the 70s. The group still continues sort-of, as groups do. We've got one here called Status Quo who are reputed to have played for George III, and the Rolling Stones still continue. Bafflingly ].

But obviously there are similarities between Pirate & Westcountry. The speakers of the first having zoomed off from there to sea realising that anything is preferable to life on the farm.

I had this one ancestor, see... he was a sailor, and he got drunk on shore leave... he woke up and realized that he had been chained to a plow. Har dee har.
