Mutiny!

To Wiltshire for a 40th birthday do. The theme was "Pirates". I spent a pleasant and raucous evening surrounded by large farmers dressed as pirates and other assorted seafaring characters.

 

Scary.

 

West country people do not really have to try too hard in replicating your average pirate voice. There were many cries of "Mutinaaaaay!", "Pieces of eight!", "Buggery on the high seas!", and other more unmentionable calls which can be left to your vivid imagination, dear reader. Suffice to say, Captain Pugwash and his friends were much referenced...

 

I reckon I made quite a passable Long John Silver. Robert Newton - eat your heart out. *cough*

Aaaaaargh!

Here I am accompanied by a bevy of wenches who would "slit yer throat soon as look at yer".. Thankfully, I am a handsome and charming Cap'n, exempt from such low skullduggery.

 

There be trouble on the poop-deck mateys...

I was cheekily nick-named Captain Will Swallow... My reply was that I wondered why the cheeky one had PILATES written on his his bandana..;-)

Is that Johnny Depp aka Captain Jack Sparrow in amongst those pirate totty? (Funny how he's got the patch over his good eye).

I also like the moustache-beard combo - it could catch on.

Forgive me pirate if I compliment the wenches instead. You are right about the dialect though. West Country folk have piracy in the blood, argh that they do, me boy!

Your moustache seems to have slipped a tad.

Good night was had by all then?
