Talk Like a Pirate Day

One of my favourite blogs tells me it's Talk Like a Pirate Day. You probably didn't know that.

  3. With a dreadful feeling of doom I opened this page expecting to see the cliched depictions of us pirates as speaking in this hackneyed guttural ignorant way. Well I for one have had enough. We are actually a very polite and mannered bunch while propaganda has chosen to paint us as a bunch of cut-throat treasure-hunting, never-washing parrot-owning bunch of thugs. And the names we are given like Bluebeard are frankly ridiculous.

  4. And I'd like to add that John Betjeman is most certainly a poet of national importance.
