I'm guessing the crew would have an idea, unless its one of those russian boats.

I'll try hailing them, it's a bit far to paddle out.

Anyone know Russian for "this mad wee woman is nosy about what you're up to" ?

I'd forgotten seeing that at 7.45 this morning - looks like a dredger and the triangle bit in the middle was all lit up then.

GRANTY is here, admiring the dredger from the window. It's very close to shore. I thought it had run aground? I'm too lazy to don my rubber gear(!), paddle out and invite myself on board.

They are pirates, the dredging bit is probably their cover.

Apparently they aim their canons at people on the prom. They are usually found in Australia, but for some reason they are here.

It's Cap'n Patch and the Perilous Pirate of Portie! Run for cover and lock up your children!!!

If Johnny Depp's with them ... send him to me!!!

If Johnny Depp gets washed up on Porty beach there's going to be a fight over who gets to resuscitate him

I can hear the singing from here...

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 08 Dec 2006, 02:01

And here is that song in full ...

The Old Sea Dog.

There once was an old sea dog
Who loved to drink plenty of grog
At the Mad Maggotâ€™s bar
He told tales of afar
And of ships that got lost in a fog

At the Tavernâ€™s bar
Heâ€™d have more by far
Than anyone else could stomach
He spent gold in great sum
As he walloped the rum
While resting upon his great hummock

With his eye on a wench
Heâ€™d shout from the bench
Telling yarns that were awfully scary
Of terrible gales
And great big white whales
And creatures â€œwot looked awful â€˜airyâ€

The boats are gone and no sign of Johnny Depp on the beach.
I've looked!
Mind you I didn't check under the Clangers beds, they may be hiding him there.

That would be the Christmas present to beat all Christmas presents - even better that Dada's shed!!!

Er ... sorry girls ... but Johnny Depp just came to my house this morning. He even brought Orlando Bloom with him!

I told you ... you can't have him!

Glad the dredger's gone though. If it WAS my freind's panto ... it would have been dredgeful!!!

(Pirates 2 just came through the post!!

Sorry ladies but he's mine and here's the proof

Damn, I always thought he was taller than that.

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 08 Dec 2006, 18:52

Don't be daft, Rapunzell ... how else would he fit into your TV??

rapunzell · Post by **rapunzell** » 08 Dec 2006, 18:57

He did look a bit squashed the last time.
