A Jolly Roger

[lesrae]

This made me laugh, Portsmouth dockyard have taken this billboard poster down because it looks a bit 'wrong'.

People are stupid...

[Konovalov]

Unfortunate camera angle perhaps. :hmm: However the Captain doesn't appear to have a problem with it. And I bet that they sung many sea shanty songs together. It all just gives new meaning to Master and Commander. ;)

[clive bradbury]

Shouldn't this be in the 'consensual sex' thread?

[STEED]

The billboard, advertising tours of Portsmouth Dockyard, has a photo portraying the heat of battle in Nelson's day.

But drivers passing it in Winchester, Hampshire, thought of a much naughtier alternative.


Just shows you how singled dirty minded people are these days, as a friend of mind would put it. "More evidence that proves Humans are de-evolving faster than ever."

I say old chap....shiver me timbers :hmm:

Ya know, I am probably one of the more sick and perverted members of this forum. But until someone pointed out something "wrong" with that picture, I would never have made that association.

Are there people out there who are deliberately trying to see "dirty" stuff in innocent ads?

Yes, I'm normally one of them!:D

The sword appears to be sheathed in the scabbard......but where was his small dagger :p

[Linton]

.....but where was his small dagger :p It was actually called a dirk and was carried by midshipmen.The officer in the picture is a post captain as he has an epaulet on his left shoulder.

My first reaction to the photo was that the cannon had run over his foot, but then after reading the first couple of posts I relized what the rest of you were seeing.

I guess Churchill was right about the navy,

Rum, Buggery and the Lash!:arrgh!:

[orwell]

I didn't realize it was a cannon he was gripping till someone pointed it out. I mean, I knew it was meant to be innocent. I'm just not sure what the innocent was.

I don't think dirk had quite the same ring to it :lol:

You hear of people getting 'stabbed' from a dagger, but seldom a dirk....that sounds more like a name fir the person wielding the dagger ;)

"Bugger me timbers":rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

Steady as she blows :o

I am trying to come up with some Moby Dick jokes but my brain is fried.

[SUBMAN1]

Another PC thing has chipped away at society. Watch it crumble.

[Frame57]

Yep, that is what I get peeved about the most. Even the Pirates of the caribbean ride had to become PC. WTFO?

Either way... it looks like it HURTS ! :o

I don't know what you're talking about. This is the one thread that ISN'T derailing. It's going the same direction as the sailer in the picture and hasn't vered away in any other direction ! :D

Well, mounting an intensly hot, cast-iron cannon doesn't exactly sound like it should feel good, does it? (Let alone what it was meant for to begin with, lol.)
