    Hi Marmite,

    Thanks for the new thread. I'm going to go for 15 again and 3 in a row.
  • Right, I'm back on the wagon after taking September off from any challenges - here's to a frugal October!

    I'll aim for 12 NSDs please :)

    Yo ho ho, shipmates! There be poirates..Ah-harrr! There be treasure far beyond the grip of Davy Jones's locker...Ah-harrr! There be rum, and ship's rations, and tea and fairy cakes...Ah-har- WHAT?

    Mrs Doyle! What self-respecting pirate crew messes around with tea and fairy cakes???

    THIS pirate crew, that's what! Anything has got to be better than Igor and Chef's creation, stuffed roasted seagulls with a tasty seaweed and barnacle coulis.......

    Captain marmite, we will have to have a full crew briefing on dress code. Hubert cannot be allowed to wear stilettos on deck, they will ruin the wood......

    Roll up! Roll up! Enlisting now for the pirate ship Swobzedex! There be dubloons, diamonds and pieces of six! (What do you mean, Igor, it should be pieces of eight? I am talking net, not gross! The 25% cut for the Nargle slush fund, of course! )

    We have Swedish Chef as ship's cook, Mrs Doyle as ship's medical officer (there's nothing can't be cured with a strong cup of tea and a plateful of egg sarnies), Hubert as ship's donkey (other pirate ships have a monkey up the mast, we have a donkey), Igor as Fourth Mate and Chief Deck Swabber, Helga and Olga as pirate wenches dispensing the grog......all we need are a motley crew of shipmateys all ready to search for the treasure and collect a few NSDs along the way......we set sail at the crack of sparrers on Thursday so bring your hats, your hooks and your peglegs and let's go-ho-ho with a yo-ho-ho!

    (Igor, what is that white streak down your shirt? Oh, you couldn't find a parrot because Chef had stuffed it in a kebab...So you used an albatross....go and have a shower, Igor.....)
