Talk like a pirate day is fast approaching! The date: September 19th, all day, all around the world. I'm hoping that everyone on the board will partake in this true celebration of the bucaneer and indeed Talk Like a Pirate on the 19th. Anyone who posts that day and does not utter a piratey phrase of one sort or another will WALK THE PLANK! I may even ban them for a week... you decide if I'm serious or not! I wouldn't be a true Pirate if I didn't issue threats

Yaaargh, I be looking forward to this 'ere Talk like a Pirate Day. 'Tis a fine day to be celebrating all things buccaneer. I agree - you must all say something Piratey or ye WILL be forced to walk the plank Savvy? (Funnily enough, I am just in the middle of watching Pirates of the Carribean right now  ) |

For those of us that are totally unsavy when it comes to pirate speak but want to brush up ready for the 19th have a look at this site http://www.io.com/~sj/PirateTalk.htmlSo to avoid being accused of being a landlubber or a scurvy dog have a look so Mark doesn't keelhaul you (I don't think I quite have the pirate accent yet though  ) Fair winds! |

Arr this be a fine thread fer piratey talk! Although don't be wastin' all yer best lines before the day itself! And let's be makin' sure that the Piratey madness be spillin' out to other sections, not just here. Fer example: "Ahoy there landlubbers! I be biddin' on a fine Harry Potter card on EBay and none of ye bilge swillin' scum had better be outbiddin' me or I'll run ye through! Arrrr!" Ye be gettin' the idea |

Well it be gone eight bells and I be talking like a pirate all day. Zee scurvy dogs on me poop deck(aka work) be looking at me as though I have drunk too much rum aaarrrr. Which I cannot blame them for as me spoken pirate is as addled as me written pirate aarrr. So with a aaaarrrrr and a yo ho ho I will avast and excuse the company of my lingo. But Cap'n Mak, a favour is asked by one of your brethren. Can the next theme day be Talk Like a Cockney - that I can manage Godspeed! (please also note I made Little Tiny Bill walk the plank today ) |

Gosh, talk like a cockney day? That sounds like fun too although they don't have quite as many catchphrases (at least none that rival 'YARRRRRRRR!'). I don't know how it came about (TLAPD) but I didn't invent it - which your post kind of sounds like, sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick! It's a recognised event (mainly by nutters on the internet)! If anyone wants to suggest a day for Talk Like a Cockney day that'll be fine too  |

Yep I knew TLAPD was international. The talk like a cockney day was just a joke. It seems like my efforts at humour are just about as good as my pirate speak |
