After 29 years at the Bar I only have one word to say to pirates: Amateurs. Oh well, since it is Talk Like a Pirate Day I will have to belay that and wish all pirates in Davy Jones Locker full sails, plenty of grog and vegetarian sharks! Aaargh!

My maternal grandfather was a Cornishman, a family of generations of seafarers from that land of pirates, and I inherited the salt water in my veins from him – I love the sea, but sadly, my saiing days are over.
But, bejabbers, me hearties, even though the rum bottle is nearly dry, I’m sure you’d like to spy this little clip – the Cornish Pirates: and as the Rugby World Cup is on down here in Godzone, I’m sure you won’t mind a merry mix. 🙂
