  2. Why not make Rum out of it, otherwise it is just a high nutrient pollutant.

  3. There's loads of them in Australia, they are called Black Angus. I knew cattle breeders that bred those small beasties. Apparently a red colored sport is undesirable like a lot of gingers.

  7. Blackbeard was a woman? It's from the West Country, arr, scrumpy. The man is married, his poor wife. He pronounces cooks like Kooks. Privateer has a patent to raid, obtain gold, slaves, and scuttle ships. I could live without a picture of Mr. Barrie. It is wonderful that there is an expert on pirates of all things.

  13. Yes, funny, but that is from a man who loves armor, weapons of all sorts. If he lived out his fantasy, his life would be short too.

  14. That's okay as their nickname Pompey has nothing to do with Pompei the man.

  15. Never understood Asterix and Obelix. They looked ridiculous especially Depardieu.

  16. Wasn't an English Admiral stored in a barrel full of rum after he died?

  17. No offense to the West Country, but they weren't exactly pirates more smugglers, and that's where Miranda the mermaid lived.
