    Default International Talk Like A Pirate Day

    I always seem to forget about this - it fell on Friday 19th September this year.

    http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

    Did anyone do this? I feel missing out on International Talk Like A Pirate Day is like missing out of Christmas.

    Although not technically a Pirate - it's hard to top Tom Bakers role as a captain in Blackadder, who's missing both legs.

    "We're stuck we a legless Captain."

    "No I'm not, I've not touched a drop ..."

    Si Hart and Rob McCow should know - they've done all the Blackadders recently back-to-back.

    I saw a lot of people talking like pirates on Saturday- Otley were at home to the Cornish Pirates and the away supporters all seemed to have Cornish accents as thick as clotted cream.

    Ironically, the only Pirates player I actually heard speaking had the kind of South African accent which leaves you suspecting that he'd rather have five minutes alone in a locked room with Nelson Mandela and a truncheon than spending his Saturday afternoon running around playing rugby.

    Anyone who actually talks like a pirate all day for this "holiday" should be forced to walk the plank...

    I'm not good at pirate impressions.

    Can I be a Lancashire pirate?
