We’re a bit miffed in the office that yesterday’s International Talk Like A Pirate Day passed us by without causing too much of a stir.
This seems like a wasted opportunity to me.
I had several meetings that could’ve been livened up immensely by the injection of a few “Avast ye, ya lousy land lubber!” comments.
For those of you still keen to sample the delights of pirate talk – check out the English-Pirate translator.
Disco Stu was keen to test the translator’s mettle with the line:
“I am a little bit worried about today’s existential drift into apathy”
Which is cunningly translated in Pirate as:
“Ahoy, me am a little bit worried about today’s existential drift int' apathy A pence for an old man o'de sea?”
While Miss News is contemplating running a story in this week's issue entitled:
"Ahoy, when will Me be paid my Sin'le Farm Payment? Gar."
