Piracy triumph

[TheRefactornator]

Probably not the type you were thinking of but it's The Pirate Bay and they're minor EU Parliament victory. If anything has the ability to fire people up to go out and vote it's the prospect of losing their ability to download pre-release movies, software and porn.

I suppose there's something to be said for politicians that are upfront about their thievery.

There was a cover story on one of the news magazines a few weeks ago (Time or Life or one of those sort of mags). It was about the Danish Navy patrolling the Somali coastline. I suspect the whole thing was written up purely so they could use the headline...

VIKINGS vs PIRATES

My nephew is the image of Steve the Pirate in Dodgeball. I don't think it's the look he's going for but he can't help it.
Yearrggg.

I thought this was going to be about Ross Kemp chasing pirates off the coast of Somalia. Watched that last night, was a bit rubbish and the pirates won out in the end

There used to be a lot of jolly rodgering on Dutch TV but since the 'Christian Democrats' came to power it's been cut back and you have to buy a decoder now.
