oh dear god, don't put that on the web barney, it was done in our early years and is an episode that's best sent to davey jones' locker!!!!!!

......81% strange..........gutted ere barney, wot did you lie in your questionare, i've known you 20 odd years, you are a complete oddball!!!

i like your style cap'n foxe, if i was you i'd take both offers, the booze & the slave!!!!!!!

now that's a nice looking cat. what length and thickness of rope did you use? and, if i can wrangle being at the first legoland weekend, would you mind showing me how to make one?

if you think the banter between me & barney is bad here, you should see what those 'orrible gits have been saying bout me on our own forum. they's reckons i need professional help, because i suggested we needed some bare breasted female pirates in the crew, to help fend off unfavourable winds and such like, cos we aint got a figure head depicting a bare breasted woman to do that. they've made suggestion that i've lost the plot and shouldn't use all the tissues up! what the hell does that mean???!!!!????

i know it wasn't me he was snuggling/fumbling with under the blanket, i can assure you cap'n foxe, i wasn't THAT drunk!!!! i'm just a nosey git, that's all!

er, nothing new there then, you don't even have to be drunk to do that!!!!!

oo'er misses!

you just wander off, barney, when you've partaken of fruity beverages!!! mistress kass, you must be thinking that all us sheppey pirates are complete loons!!!

hehehehe, i'll add a bottle of rum to the bid to make sure, hehehehe

arrr, young master filch is trying to show his teeth, but more practise is required for it to be of effect! if memory serves, it be master filch who made a bit of a ricket whilst making our musket balls, so don't be bragging bout that! anyhow, you were never a bilge rat in the crew, you're a powder monkey till the cap'n see's fit to premote you! oi, macbarney, i didn't fall asleep in a puddle, i just ended up laying in one for a bit because i couldn't be bothered to get up!! and yes, fruity beverages played a part in that!!! indeed cap'n foxe, a fair many song does indeed end with such a phrase. though i seem to remember being a bit more colourful in my use of language when i fluffed my turn to sing!!!!

i admit i add colour to the events we attend! i admit i completely forget the words to songs when it's my turn to lead the campfire singsong! but as to make an offer that is purely based on the notion that you, the great campire singer mr foxe, would prepare a fine beverage from my bid for imfomation on master filch, is, completely right! dammit been sussed! oh well! will have to think of something else to use in the bidding!

6 bottles of spitfire, bottle of brandy and a pouch of me own blended pipe baccy for the infomation on our dear lil' filch. :)

i have no idea who filch was cosying upto under a blanket, please pray tell cap'n foxe. was it when we were partaking of that rather good sailor's drink you made? for not much after that i lost a sail and only had 3 sheets to the wind!!!!! but please, we wouldn't set you up with a dodgey musket and iffy slowmatch on purpose, we not that nasty! honest! ask anybody, we're total angels, never do windups or misbehave in that manner!

arrgh, apologies, we didn't advertise the planking very well as it was a last minute thing. we'll prob be hosting it again next year in august. just got to sort out the insurance (planking is classed as a dangerous sport!!!!!!). we'll do a better job of keeping everyone informed next time. the swansea gig is a event we've (and a couple of other crews) been asked to put on for the welsh assembley, to celebrate the opening of the new mariner (mmm, can't spell that!) called SA1. if you want more details, go to our website (www.sheppeypirates.org) and contact the capt'n through there, he'll let you know the score. yes, we do know we's got to pay to get into your local waters, cap'n badger! be's speaking ta ya's soon macstink

tis true, we's have sort of wondered of the thread abit, but thanks for the links. if ye's not down in our waters, we'll be sure to be in your's in october. if you'se are though, will you be bringing that rather tasty grog that you had at SWPF2006? till then, macstink

mmmmm........that's interesting, 9 barrels you say? oh, cap'n badger, rumour has it that you may venturing into our local waters sometime soon. any weight in this? macstink

ed, what happened? were they banned, brought to charge on this seriously stupid act? i am glad though you didn't say it was our gun crew. we train regular and take safety very seriously, not just our own, but everybodies. also, with luck, we could have 2 cannons at SWPF2007, the 3 pounder and maybe a 6 or 9 pounder. plus we're sorting out more muskets, so we can show the public the 'evolution' of the firearms used between the 1600's to early 1800's (wheel locks, doglock etc). we're also in the market for a nock 7 barreled volley gun! but they seem to be rare as hens teeth! macstink

greetings from sheppey tis authentic question seems to stur up a hornets nest when it's mentioned! from the point of view of a pirate who was once panto and has made personal strides to become authentic, i feel authentic should be a personal goal, not a demanded standard from other persons. in our group we have those who are trying their best to authentic, those who prefer the hollywood look and those who wear cut down jeans and torn t-shirts and have no interest in authentic. all are welcome, but understand that certain events will require different levels of dress. but because of the differing styles, i believe, that pirate re-enactment is not viewed by some other period re-enactors as 'proper' re-enactment. but i think that we need both authentic and hollywood. how i see it working is the hollywood style pirates catch the attention of the public, as that's what most public perceive pirates to look like, but draw them into the where the authentic style pirates are, so the public can be shown what pirates really looked like. but that is not saying hollywood can't show the public what piracy was like back then. we've seen how the different groups from the brotherhood can work well together and put on a great event or show. so let's stop the bickering, put our heads together and show everyone that we can give the public everything they want. macstink, look forward to seeing you all on sheppey sometime soon oh yeah, ed, what 'fantasy-type pirates doing some really stupidly dangerous things with cannons' are you talking about?
