    I tells ya, there ain't much to plunder in West London. Tis lucky there's only three hours 'a talk like a pirate day left.

  11. "Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!"

    I forgot to tell you: Finished reading Burning Dreams. It was most enlightening. Margaret W B is skillfull in narrating Pike's life story and displaying his character. So much so that I now fancy him.

    Bugger.

    Think I'll do a tour of duty as a lieutenant aboard the Enterprise under (heh heh!) Captain Pike, before being promoted to commander and becoming your first office-Arrrrrrr! See you in 260 years!

  15. Inexplicable Device - Hmmm, interesting... I might give it a whirl, after I've read William Shatner's latest blockbuster novel, of course!

    If you serve under Pike (heh) you'll have to contend with smiling Spock though - and that might be a tad unnerving!!

    Miss Haversham - Make up pirate day? Do I have to wear eyeliner like Cap'n Jack? I'm not sure... but I expect I could carry it off...

    Missy and Chrissy - I like the idea of every day being talk like a pirate day, but it did make my voice a little hoarse, so we might have to think about a pirate rest day! There's only so much plunder to pillage, y'know...!

    Dinah - Welcome to the future! Glad to hear you've unleashed your inner pirate. I'm now thinking about an Act like a Robot day; in fact, I might go out robot walking around London today. And say "working" quite a lot.
