I'll be there when they have it starting, that's for sure Disney plans new Pirates online game

Me too, but that doesn't mean a handsome pirate cannot come "save" me Let him believe you need it, it does their ego well and you, just enjoy the charm and the fact such a man is willing to endanger themselves for you

Thanks Constance :) I loved wearing it, and then again i hated it. My fabric stretched..it feels like thick cotton and it still stretched. So i had to pull it tighter and tighter and at some point i couldn't anymore..not much left of the cleavage Also, the boning is CRAP..so i'll be making a new bodice sometimes and buying good fabric and get the boning from the USA. It wasn't fun though..the "model" as i showed it here on the pic was no where to be found on Saturday Still, i did get a lot of compliments so i guess it was ok I had a wonderful time, that's for sure..dang there were good looking pirates there..shame they were all in "company", not many single pirates out there these days it seems

Flogging Molly/seven deadly Sins..make that the arrogant Worms/Last Saskatchewan Pirate now.. Do share, cool music? I love internet radio from around the world, i often listen to AIROS, American indian radio on satellite, straight from the heart of indian land. I wish we'd have a decent thunderstorm, one with lots of lightning. I love it and it's been a long time we saw some "sky action"

Well i didn't want to embarrass you..'twas quite a sight dear Phil

Not getting into the history squabble but..

So that wás you i saw back then iin Amsterdam strolling along with a blond and a red head on yer arms

Sure, move it to raids, doesn't matter to me where it is :) I've got some more pics I had the greatest time, it was heart warming how the people seem to feel "close'and everyone is like you know each other for years. As usual, age falls away and any age get's along and make contact. It's the topics (like POTC) that get people together. It's not about pirates each year, it was the theme this year but it's not to say it won't be fun. Last year they had the knight games with lances, lots of horses etc. That would've been great to see too. I'll definitely go again both days next year if i can :) Duncan you will find this interesting as you told me you do mideaval a lot, most re-enactment and themes on this fair is mideaval, a whole lot actually, you should've seen the swords they had, they sold them all over the fair...holy crap! And, i actually found a Belgium place that sells awesome cutlasses. So now i know where to go as soon as i can afford 69 euro+ to buy it. The professon doing the lecture on Pyracy did a great job again, he's so funny and makes it a show and includes the audience a lot too. Mission, i myself know from a book of David Cordingly and also the pirate museum i went to the flags used to be red a lot more then black so maybe that's not all correct but oh made up with it i the way he told and other things i didn't know yet. He gave us who talked with him afterwards a business card and told us we can write and ask anything we want to know and even though it may take a little while he álways writes back. Rumba Rue, you're welcome to be my guest, everyone is who'd visit Holland and needs a place to sleep. I'm not rich and cannot offer a 3* hotel but hospitability i can Any way, here are the pics Phew never posted this many, but my first "Pirate event" (and probably last for some time..) is worth it The pirate show was spectacular! One of them is sadly blurry as it's the coolest pic of the pirate show.. All my pics sofar now in album: http://photobucket.com/albums/v164/BarbossasPearl/ Password is enjoy Feel free to look around, but it's a bit of a mess of many different pics through each other, i have to put them in the appropiate folders yet :) 49 more to be added when i get the cdrom from the store

Well, there's a lot we don't know There's alot more then i told about as it's the biggest fabtasy Fair in Europe. LOTR counsil (Fans and actor encounter, questions etc i think, going to do that today), witches giving info on wicca etc, sword fight demonstrations and work shops, mideaval dancing and god knows how much more..too much to see in one day :)

OK, i'm not too fond of me on pics and finding my "costume" makes me look about 100 pounds heavier then i am.. i've finally chosen three pics i thought were just about acceptable to post.. Two are of this guy...is it me or does he look like another Mac Namara offsspring? LOL, i thought he looks like him but maybe it's me... All pics now together in an album: http://photobucket.com/albums/v164/Barboss...%20FAIR%202005/ Password is enjoy About 49 more to be added when the cdrom comes from the store. It was a great atmosphere, not only the pirate part but the whole fantasy festival was cool. Many amazing costumes, pirate and fantasy alike. One British man did a lecture on piracy and the interesting thing was his own ancestors were pirates He told us ever since Henry Morgan there has always been a Morgan who's an admiral in the Navy up to this day. He also told us that the Normans like the Vikings and other Nordic peoples came to Constantinopel and raided and overwon it and scatched in a huge rock the equivalent of the present day graviti, in fact probably the first graviti to be ever done by a human. Most interesting was to hear precisely where the Jolly Roger came from. I have heard bits and pieces here and there but this man told us precisely, the Jolly Roger's origine is the "Black upon white" flag of the Knights of the templars who had first a white flag with a black bar on the bottom and later started to use as their logo so to say, a skull wit two bones. It was all interesting but most of all entertaining as this man didn't just tell the lecture he "played" it, what a wonderful way of getting told about things. The men is truly a wonderful entertainer. Anyway, i felt so good there i decided not to buy anything but go back tomorrow for another nice day out, this time all alone so i can wonder around with my own thoughts and impressions and do and not do as i want. I can recommend it, it's nice to do so now and then I'm off to bed for some rest... LOL..)

I agree, if only i could get into any of the "pirate boots "they have here so i have to say.. Ye might be a (Dutch) pirate if yer ankles are skinny and yer feet small..

Yeah, the same from me! It´s pirates alll the way this weekend for me I´ll surely be reporting back here

Pirate Choir De Waterlanders, getting in the mood for tomorrow :) They'll be playing at the event. Piratenkoor De Waterlanders

There there *Patting Black Crow on the back*, let it out now and then have a good laugh And talk away if you need to vent :) I'm a good listener and i'm sure many are here Here ya go for the laugh... "Once upon a time there was a famous sea captain. This captain was very successful at what he did; for years he guided merchant ships all over the world. Never did stormy seas or pirates get the best of him. He was admired by his crew and fellow captains. However, there was one thing different about this captain. Every morning he went through a strange ritual. He would lock himself in his captain's quarters and open a small safe. In the safe was an envelope with a piece of paper inside. He would stare at the paper for a minute, then lock it back up. Afterwards, he would go about his daily duties. For years this went on, and his crew became very curious. Was it a treasure map? Was it a letter from a long lost love? Everyone speculated about the contents of the strange envelope. One day the captain died at sea. After laying the captain's body to rest, the first mate led the entire crew into the captains quarters. He opened the safe, got the envelope, opened it and... The first mate turned pale and showed the paper to the others. Four words were on the paper; two lines with two words each: Port Left Starboard Right "

It's amazing how many Tall Ships are coming to the Sail Amsterdam event! It will be my first time and it will be a grand one :) Take a look at the list of Tall ships alone, there's lots of other fine sailing ships, litterally hundreds but this list alone is making me drool.. Tall ships at Sail Amsterdam 2005

A fine ship she is! It's a pity she isn't coming to the Sail Amsterdam event, that would've been cool. I've bookmarked both websites ye gave With all the high fear i have, i'd love to work a ship such as that, must be wonderful :)

AHOY ALL! "D Single lass here looking for some fun, i'm sure having returned here might do the trick..what say?

When you're dining out and finished eating ye put your knife between your belt instead of on your plate.

OK , you know you're a pirate if you take apart you're doctor's (fake, the ones that are standing in a doc's room, not his ) skeleton to form the Skull&bones.

Since it's been discussed and become clear they're hardly more then any other "fansite"i have not been there too often but stayed with the newsletter. I do check in for news sometimes though, but that's about it. LOL, i found yet another POTC messageboard..seems they still jump out of the ground like mushrooms.

Thanks, dad, i will

Article (Link provided by LaughingPlace Disney news letter), Orlando talks sequels. Bloom Talks Pirates Sequels, Bond Swashbuckling, stirred martinis and more. April 07, 2005 - IGN FilmForce was on hand today at the press day for the upcoming Ridley Scott film Kingdom of Heaven, which opens May 6th. The film is the first major starring vehicle for Orlando Bloom and IGN FilmForce spoke to him today about that film as well as the rumors of Young James Bond and the current production of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3. Stay tuned to IGN FilmForce in the coming weeks as we will also have an exclusive one on one interview with Bloom with even more info on all of these projects. The recent internet rumors of a Young James Bond film and of Orlando Bloom being up for that role are apparently news to him. "I'm not doing Young James Bond. No, no, no. It's funny, my cousin called me up, he said, 'Is there something you're not telling me? That you're playing James Bond? I just saw it on CNN.' I was like, 'Dude, my manager, my agent have never mentioned it to me, so not to date. Young or old, it had never been mentioned to me, so you know, I don't know where that came from but I can tell you that I've never heard a whiff of it, not a whiff." Bloom is currently in production on the two highly anticipated Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. "As you know, Johnny's the pirate to end all pirates. So Will is the straight man. He's the straight man who moves the story forward as he did in the first movie and he continues that. Obviously he becomes more of the pirate but, nevertheless, piracy isn't in his blood in the same sense that it is for Jack Sparrow. It's gonna develop. The third movie, I still haven't read the script, but I know there are plans to sort of darken Will up a little and make him a little bit more questionable and that will then resolve themselves. I love the character…" -Disney Pictures Depp (left) and Bloom (right) in Pirates So far they are only shooting the second film, but the third one will soon be worked in as well. "Well, we just started shooting. We're about four weeks into shooting. I just came back from the Caribbean for this, but we're gonna shoot the second movie and a little bit of the third movie just because of the locations, and then we're going to be shooting the third movie." Rumors persist that Keith Richards may enter the series as one of the Pirates, possibly as Jack Sparrow's father. Bloom won't confirm but also doesn't deny. "You know, I've heard the rumors as well as you have. I think if he makes an appearance, it will be probably in the third movie." Again, stay tuned to FilmForce for more on these projects in our upcoming exclusive with Orlando Bloom! -- Jeff Otto
