Think there's a problem with that link, Harvs.

Yeah, that's not what I was expecting, unless 'rock spider' is a euphemism for something else.

Then I started calculating.
My fathers birthday is in June. 9 months plus is February

Let me ad this: I was born 2 hours before march 1st which is my mother birthday.
I was concieved on my fathers and born (almost) on my mothers

Looks like some folk obviously know how to make the most of their birthday celebrations

That was the story that was linked to, but we were expecting something involving actual spiders. Is 'rock spiders' a euphemism for pedophiles? Never heard that one before.

What you want to talk about that stuff for, Harvs? You know me or him are going to say something non-pc and get in trouble...

Harvs · 06-01-15, 06:05 AM

Sorry, will refrain from doing so in future

yes but look on the bright side; if you get an infraction, you can "take it like a man"

Nothing to do with pedos or executions, but there something that's been puzzling me for a long time.

Why do pirates speak with Somerset accents?

I think you'll find that it's more Cornish than Somerset...after all, that's where Penzance is!

Eisenwurst · 06-02-15, 12:13 AM

Maybe it's just me ( I've taken a few depth charges to the head ), but I can't tell the difference between this lot and "The Wurzels" dialect/accent wise.

It's because a lot of pirates did originally come from that part of the country.

If you want to hear a real West Countryman speak, then listen to this. The wonderful Phil Harding, archaeologist, appears in the Channel 4 TV series "Time Team", along with his colleague, the late great Mick Aston, as well as presenter Sir Tony Robinson (known for his role as Baldrick in the show "Black Adder").
