AndyB Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Nowadays, pirates seem to be from Somaliarrrrr..... http://youtu.be/DoG_ZBIxB8Q In fact ye pirates be from many points of the compass. But their dastardly tactics are different from ocean to ocean. Off ye west coast of Africa the blasted scalliwags are more like robbers. Same be the case for those in the South China Sea - what you landlubbers call "hit and run". Ye Somali ones have a more complex operation. And instead of grog ye youthful Somali pirates chew on ye drugs which does their heads in. Ye Maritime Piracy Humanitarian Response Programme - to support victims of these dastardly pirates - will launch at ye London Docklands Museum on the 29th of September. Members of ye press are invited to attend and splice the mainbrace with grog. Yaaaarrrrhhhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Nowadays, pirates seem to be from Somaliarrrrr..... ... and also off the coasts of Venezualarrrrr, Columbiarrrrrr, West Africarrrrrrr, Indiarrrrrrr, Malaysiarrrrrr, and Indonesiarrrrrr. Since in the past this happened off the coasts of Espanarrrrr, Cubarrrrrr, Libyarrrrrr, it is clear that this is an orthographic problem, moving steadily from Northe to South over the centuries. Watch out for like trouble coming to Samoarrrrr, Australiarrrrr and Antarcticarrrrrr. Moving to places with sensible names like New Zealand might be a good move...

With apologies to ye genius that is Mitch Benn (see YeTube link above), singalong with ye jolly shanty: ‘Twas in the year two thousand-and-eight Ya Homie boys, a-harrr We did hoist the Jolly Roger And set sail from Somalia-rrrr Landlubbers ev’rywhere are sore amazed at what we did: We nicked a supertanker And asked for twenny-foive million quid. So! Load up your Kalashnikovs Ya Homie boys, a-harrr We’re the Pirates of The Sea To the North-East of Africa-rrr There’s no mainbrace to splice, just Diesel engines now instead There ain’t no plank to walk So we’ll just shoot ye in the ‘ead, ha-harrr The papers call us pirates Though we’re muggers in a boat, Armed robbery is jolly When it’s done while you’re afloat! So! Sharpen your machetes, lads Ya Homie boys, a-harrr We’re the Pirates of The Sea To the North-East of Africa-rrr On land they recognoise us For the psychos that we are, We’re the Pirates of The Sea To the North-East of Africa-rrr We’re the Pirates of The Sea To the North-East of Africa-rrrrrrrrr!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebottle Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I believe Sex Pistols had a song about pirates, something in the riggin' I believe it was me hearties, I presume you mean "F#####n' in the Riggin'? Back in the late seventies, it was on the normally little-used jukebox in a quiet back-street pub I used to frequent. Occasionally, a group of revellers would ply the jukebox and ask the landlady to turn up the volume. If it got too loud, I'd surreptitiously key in this record. Out would boom: "'Twas on the good ship Venus, By Christ you should have seen us, The figurehead Was a whore in bed, And the mast a rampant peni - (click)" As the irate landlady switched the box off. Peace, perfect peace. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
