It's that day

Shiver me timbers! Ahoy there, me hearties. It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

So let's here it from all you bilge-sucking pirates out there. All hands on deck. How to talk: throaty growl, West Country accent, lots of waving your cutlass. Give us yer spoils or you'll be shark bait.

Don't be lazy, resting on yer laurels

What's that, you're struggling with yer peg leg? It's a walk along the plank for you, yer son of a biscuit eater.

OK it's off to the briny deep for me, flying the Jolly Roger

and looking for some booty.

Pieces of eight, pieces of eight!
