Dueller Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Just thought i'd be polite and introduce myself. I started Pirate re-enactment about a year ago with a couple of groups here in England and am having fun. I try to make a lot of my own equipment, so may be requesting advice as well as sharing any short cuts i come across. I have just made a felt tricorn (plain for me) and will be making a more ornate one for the Contessa (girlfriend). Will post piccies when i'm done.

Mission Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Piccies. Piccies? Piccies! Welcome, Dueller. (You're lucky - you can drink hand-pulled Newcastle at the local pubs. The bottled stuff we get over here's got nothing on that.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumba Rue Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Welcome from across the 'pond'. I'm sure you'll find plenty here to learn about and I suggest you check out the Twill forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dueller Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Thanks for your welcome, I will check out the forums etc, when i get chance. Have been busy on the allotment today. Do you have allotments your side of the pond? Mission:, originally i grew up in Oxford and have recently moved to London, we are classed as being "down south" or "daan sarf" as they say in London. :-) Contessa will be mad at me taking the P*ss out of the way londoners speak, anyway we only get the bottled "newky brown" here as well, very rare to find it on tap. Northerners like a head on their beer, southerners dont (normally) so "up norf" :-) they only pour half the bottle at a time so that when the head goes they can pour in the rest of the bottle to get a head back. Hope this translates ok :-). Dueller (Lee Matthews) Edited October 24, 2009 by Dueller Macaroni = Inventor of the pasta wireless. Film Noir = The holiday photo's are ruined.

Capt. Sterling Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Welcome to the pub! "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
