Somehow I can't imagine those pirates going 'yo ho ho and a bottle of rum', or 'shiver me timbers', or other piratey things.
Fantastic for the couple freed. Over a year they've been held.
surely with all these 'ransom brokers' and modern technology we could just blast these pirates out of the water?
The argument is it's hard to find them, but the money handover stage is a dead giveaway
Or just go in Israeli style, yelling "stay down stay down" and shooting anybody who doesn't.

Why ?
Is it because they're black/Somalian ?
You really are a racist mate
😐
Wot a load of pc crap. Thats not racist in anyway, he was just poitning out that piracy isn't the cuddly stereotype of days of old, that its violent criminals who don't value other peoples lives , rights or freedoms. Christ there are some jerks on here sometimes.
Toys misses the (adittedly rather poor) joke.
Sorry CFH I'm still missing it, what exactly was ernie_lynches joke?
Doesnt sound like a joke to me, sounds like Ernie being a right ****.

I really don't think ernie knows [i]how[/i] to make a joke. It certainly didn't come across as a joke to me, more like ernie being a complete cock just because it was elfin made the comment.
Nowt romantic or 'yo ho ho' about a bloke pointing an RPG or a knock-off Chinese AK-47 at your face.
Joke ? There's nothing funny about this institutionalised racism which automatically assumes that a black/ethnic pirate can't shiver his timbers as well as a white one.
I'm upset that you fail to mention Irish pirates? You can't just assume all white pirates can shiver their timbers correctly. Some of them are indifferent to shivering etc.
ernie v elfin *yawns*
do they have to be on every thread to satisfy their "me me me" attention seeking habit?...or does it just seem like they have no lives away from ST?
*awaits predictable response from the usual parties*
well ernie if it was a joke, I'm sorry for jumping on you.. I don't get it though. And if it wasn't then yer still a twit.

here you go
[1974]How can you spot an Irish pirate? - he's the one wearing a patch over both eyes[/1974]
Why are pirates called pirates?
Because they yaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
ernie v elfin *yawns*
+1 piece of eight
Come on CFH explain then, I am intrigued as to what I am missing?
Great news! I hope they bounce back quickly.
I'm pleased that the Chandlers are free.
But I'm disappointed that Dave wasn't telling us that Adge Cutler had been found alive and well, except for a bit of MGB stuck in his hip.
No I meant because they're Somalian then they're likely to be Muslim so they won't drink alcoholic beverages like rum, and they wouldn't shiver, because it's warm in Africa, but then I'm making assumptions.
Maybe I [i]am[/i] a racist. 🙁
