Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, 12 men dancing on a dead man's chest! Davy Jones never had so much fun arrr! You scallywags and ne'er do wells seem to have this here pirating escapade firmly staunched in ye garter belts!

Sadly I'm scuppered, me masts shivered, sails gone 3 sheets to the wind, landlocked, becalmed and barnacled befouled! I am wracked!

Arrr well, will be in Welly well soon anyhows! Now splice the mainsail, fasten the mizzen, haul anchor and set 'er South by South! Arrrr!!

Hitcher

14th September 2006, 19:37

Huzzah! A frisson of interest, ho ho.

I be thinkin that somewhere central, preferably with a gas-fired galley, chilled ales and a nautical theme be an idea. I'll sharpen me cutlass all special like.

Failing that we could go to Arizona...

Har, har, harrrrrr!

Colapop

14th September 2006, 20:44

Let the Black Harp show the way to yer Black Hearts ye scurvy dogs...

Hitcher

14th September 2006, 20:52

Arrrrr. The Black Harp's galley still be gasless! We may have to take our Pieces of Eight elsewhere.

Colapop

14th September 2006, 21:04

A thorny problem there, capt'n. There be gas to fire the furnaces of the Thistle Inn fer those that venture beyond the swaddling cloths of known territories.

Hitcher

14th September 2006, 21:11

Arrrrr. The Thustle. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

idb

14th September 2006, 21:16

My word!!!

Kornholio

14th September 2006, 21:23

Arrrrr. The Thustle. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

That aint Jim Beam :nono:

Hitcher

14th September 2006, 21:28

That aint Jim Beam

Arrrr, ye scurvy lubber. Why are ye hankering after that hairdressers' beverage when ye can slug instead a liquid that excites a real man's tonsils? Arrr harrrrr!

jrandom

14th September 2006, 22:07

Ahrrrr HARRR, me undies! This be a challenge, ahoy!

We lubberly Auckland swabs must rise to the occasion, avast and belay!

Galbraiths, anyone?

Now, there's a chance that I might be stuck in a factory somewhere up the arsehole of Asia next week (again) but I'm sure Mr Skid can carry the cutlass in my stead should such a scurvy fate befall me. I'll just have to celebrate TLAPD by quaffing a pint of Tsingtao and jollying a roger or two on the South China Sea.

Arrr! Who's with me?

Waylander

14th September 2006, 22:14

Meeting up in Wellington Hitcher or is this an entire NZ ride too thing?

If in Wellington, I'll be there!!

14th September 2006, 22:24

Arrr, the Tuesday be a day I can set my sails and four and a half bells be mighty fine for some grub. But the Thistle Inn is a bit far away, arrr.

Hitcher - the Feathers appears to have the magic burning fuel - surely the Black Harp must be nearly there as well.

Keel haul my kippers - I am crap at this pirate talk. Arrr.

MikeyG

15th September 2006, 00:20

Yarrr. Be there I shall. And a rollicking good time to be had for all.

Would any of you landlubbers spake as to where I be setting my sails

Hawkeye

15th September 2006, 01:07

Arrh! I be scuppered too that day! Will ave to keel haul some of them scurvy swabs to get up that riggin an change them sails. Too many gets together already down in the captains cabin. Drink a rum for the auld captain Hawkeye

merv

15th September 2006, 08:08

I went to Black Harp Wednesday and they had a reasonable gasless menu, I checked out Feathers on Monday and while gasless that day they had most things on their menu. I'd be happy with either as long as I know which one - I don't want to end up like Hawkeye did that time at Arizona being Norman-no-mates.

p.s. even Thistle would suit me Colapop but doesn't seem like much other interest in that.

SlowHand

15th September 2006, 12:40

Gyarrrr, I sees where you scummy pirates are congregatin' *hic* garr.

I be notifying the commodores garr.

Oh arr, 'tiz bout time I ruled the seven c's garr!

Colapop

15th September 2006, 13:11

LUBBBERS BE YE ALL!! The Black Harp sings shanty's of fine ales and food cooked afore an open flame! Say I the Black Harp be the place to be. Make it so mate, sling ye hooks and cast ye shanty wenches to the gun'ls. Lest not the talk be of changing the helm, for the cat be leavin' welts upon yer bones.

Hitcher

15th September 2006, 15:37

Arrr harrrr! The Black Harp shall be the place to which I slings me hook. 12:30pm for a bit of rum, sodomy and the lash! That should get the barnacles off me piles. Arrr harrrrr!

Have you booked a table then or are we testing our luck with all the other pirates?

Hitcher

18th September 2006, 13:27

Arrr harrr, a booking may be the go, given the ban on the weilding of cutlasses and the wearing of hooks! Leave it with me. Ahoy, the booking shall be under the name of Hitcher! Avast!

Colapop

Well twas only a small ship load that disembarked down Lambton way, but a grand feast was had by all.
Nice to meet you apteryx_haasti as you were new to ta table.
What happened to Degrom? - must have walked the plank somewhere to be sure.
Arrr fer sure twas grand! I cannot say the whereabouts of De Grom - I only knows I heared Davy Jones mentioned.

apteryx_haasti

19th September 2006, 20:35

Avast ye scurvy scum holes - actually you were all quite nice. It was a pleasure to meet you and put some faces to names. See you again, I'm sure!

Ahem, arrrrr.

merv

19th September 2006, 21:38

I can't understand that Captain Hitcher's table wasn't more full o' pirates takin' on the glorious food at the Black Harp - but 5 of us 'twas.

Waylander

20th September 2006, 08:57

Was gonna show up but had to get back up north to take care of a few urgent things. Sorry I missed out on bugging Hitcher with my americanisms in person lol.

Hitcher

20th September 2006, 09:07

Shame. Hitcher likes a good americanism in person. And Canadians too!

Colapop

20th September 2006, 19:07

Hawkeye

20th September 2006, 22:40
