Why are pirates scary?

q: why are pirates scary?
a: becuase these days they come with big guns at lots of bullets
e.g.

Dropout more than likely shagged-out

Tickets bought, depart 9pm Sat night, with plan to meet St Helens crew before last orders. Sun night stop-over on the cards too.

Don't expect my piratical behaviour to be be too swashbuckling, ... just par for the corsaire....

we're gonna need a bigger boat..

Fiddy is down me heartys so throw back the star board and pickle me kidneys or whatever driver pirates talk about.

Pink/Katt/Cornie/Fiddy - meet at Victoria 3:30 today

Clint/Chris/Will/Tika and board chrisman - see you sunday at the ferry port, not far off the bmth lot.
grab my number from the private thread should you have issues and i am all out of parrots

is someone leaving from hackney tomorrow?
have a good trip you lucky ones! see you tomorrow then

i'm riding down from stratford leaving at approx 4:30 am (ouch) see you all there or there abouts xx

shattered - nearly fell asleep riding home. cheers pip and everyone. big thanks must go out to will ( monster climbing) gina ( outrageous pace) for stretching me beyond my limits.

What a ride! Awesome roads, very little traffic (and everyone seemed to be a good driver), brilliant views, very well organised, and lovely weather. The only bad part of the day was not managing to meet up with the rest of you lot.

If anyone is ever in Yarmouth looking for food, The Kings Head pub comes highly recommended, very nice food and decent sized portions at good prices. Just what you need after 100k! :)

The Kings Head - Fucking amazing food - Perfect way to end the day.

Excellent ride - 70" was fuckin' perfect. It was so nice passing all these roadies on Cervelos etc uphill.
