Don't forget the Buccaneer....pirates are always classier with an English accent.
Ask Errol Flynn.

Double grog for Bear.


Oh what's the use...double grog for all hands! :drinkers:


And a bonus bottle of rum if you can recognize the cop from The Village People kneeling in the front row.

Thanks for clearing that up. The pyramid on your money obviously makes you ancient Egyptian, then. :lol:

As a matter of fact, rather than international ignorance, dear Errol would've had a British (not 'English') passport, and I presume a US one after be became a natralised US citizen.

Regards, Sorry - "Belay there!"

Except strangely, the Buccaneer was known as the Bermuda to the Brits... 8)

That's not a Buccaneer, this is a Buccaneer...

And this isn't a knife, this is a Cutlass...

And so on.

Arh. I won't make you walk the plank, me hearty. (etc.)

It does, doesn't it? Also Blackburn win one of the daft aircraft name awards (a long list) with the (I kid you not) Blackburn Blackburn. :shock:

It's also ugly enough to look like a pirate ship, with rigging, a blunt bow, an open wheelhouse, fo'c'sle, portholes (for cannon, of course)...
