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 :o

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.:hmmm:

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 :up:

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

Question.
 
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!

They all sound alike???????????
 
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.

INDEED!

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").
