There were pirates on the Cam yesterday. (Yes, exams have just ended.) Polite pirates too, they only offered to pillage. Sadly, I didn't manage to get a picture of the punt flying the Jolly Roger.

:-) I wish I'd got the one with the flag. They had scimitars too.

Those umbrellas look just the thing for fending off pirates.

They were brandished Lobelia Sackville-Baggins style.

The folded up ones I use because I can squash them into bags would be pretty useless - except maybe mano a mano.

Well, that's wrong, then. Should have cutlasses.

ps Arrr!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I have one with a button that makes it spring out to full length.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Cutlasses! That's the word!

Arr! Arrrr!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Like a Ranger's Minbari fighting pike!

Arrr, it be scurvy sea-dogs!

Polite pirates too, they only offered to pillage

What, no ullage and tollage?

Arrrr!

How very Swallows and Amazonish. :)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Particularly as they were incredibly polite to everyone else on the river!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

No ullage or tollage on this river. Me hearties!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Only it can keep me dry too!

I don't see that we can be sure the Minbari fighting pike didn't transform into an umbrella when required. There wasn't much rain on Babylon 5 (wasn't this a plot point for Sheridan?)

Oooh, punting pirates -- shiver me timbers. These photos are really ador(k)able. Thanks for posting!

Lovely pics!

Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of excellent port! (Rum is sure to be far too uncouth for such a genteel set of scurvy dogs.)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Ooh, what a lovely new icon!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

LOL, yes! Or Pimms, for pillaging on a summer's day.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

They'd definitely need that function if they ever went to Ferenginar :-)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed! They really were a hoot :-)

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

The Ferengi would spot a marketing opportunity in the design modification at once!

[jomacmouse.livejournal.com]

But the lasses don't want to be cut, I'm sure! :)

Nice piccies. Me like.
