Happy Birthday Week indeed!

Well at least there's a link to the place now...

I knew that the English site was linked, but not that specific page of it.

Hmm, not sure about branding AND shipping...

Afterall, no good branding someone if you're going to put them out of sight anyway.

Still more info on delightful British punishments during 17th to 19th C's can be found here:

Crime and Punishment

Looking at some of them, quite makes me wish that some people I meet in London were still dealt with in this way!

You could do worse than look here..

Pirate Ringtones

I don't know if you were ever blessed with 'Captain Pugwash' in the US, but I'm excited to have found the ringtone here!

Of course Greenwich is extremely good from a nautical point of view... but I would also recommend visiting the 'Golden Hinde' which is moored near London Bridge (handily right next to a pub!! )

Golden Hinde

And jus down the olde cobbled street from there is an olde Gaol (jail)- so you can see how prisoners used to be dealt with in good olde Englande... harr harr harr!

Oh, this link might also be useful if ye be wantin to explore other seafarin places in England

Sea stuff

Have a good trip!

Watching cutthroat Island is like being given a poor salad for dinner, it 'can' be tasty in parts, but you need more substance..

Or worse like being given a gless o rum and findin its been poisoned with water!

As for pirate films on the treasure Island theme... I quite liked the version with Jack Palance.... I never liked Livesy, Trelawney or that swab Smollet, so I was glad when they got cut down like so much pork.

harr harrr harrr...

Aye they were great photos I think, though only having dived off of England you tend to get a lot less visibility...

Bahamas sound great... warmer too!

Arr indeed... HAPPY Birthday!

Have a few rums on me...

Don't have any tattoos meself, but I liked this info page

Sailors tattoos

Ok not exactly pirates tattoos... but then a sailor is a sailor - whatever he happens to do on the oceans!
