I love Talk Like A Pirate Day. Mostly because it's also my wedding anniversary
And yes, three years ago we did discuss whether we should replace the wedding liturgy's "I do" with "yarr".

Avast ye me hearties!
At noon I strolled around the park by the office in which stands Tredegar House, former home of the Morgan family. Admiral Sir Henry Morgan was a member of this family and he was probably Britain's most successful privateer (a sort of licensed pirate) of the 17th century. I believe we 'ave some Captain Morgan's rum stashed away, though this be duty paid

T'weren't me nor any of me mates. We 'ave more class than to get drunk on Lambrini*. An' we wouldn't steal a ferry for goodness sake. May as well take a barge!
*Is it possible to get drunk on Lambrini?
