    "Pieces of Eight" and "Aarh Jim Lad" are about the extent of my talking like a pirate repertoire.

    Maybe I should just go into Bristol and get smashed in the Llandoger Trow to mark International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

    It was, after all, the pub where Daniel Defoe met Alexander Selkirk, his inspiration for Robinson Crusoe and Robert Loius Stephenson frequented the venue whilst writing Treasure Island.

    Now that's inneresting.

    I would settle for England or Wales - whichever team is easier to get into at the time!
