    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.....)
    OOH sign me up for sure nargle Can I be in the crows nest. No Igor not with the crows Honestly **huge eye roll**
    Debt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁

    Oh dear. It seems Helga' s evil beard-dwelling voles are trying to sneak on board disguised as ship's rats.....the captain is not going to like this one little bit. We need a ship's cat, gang, has anyone got a spare moggy?

    Welcome to October's 'Shiver Me Timbers' NSD challenge! :)
    Big question:do you have good sea legs?
    Yikes to losing your purse! :(
    I hope you get your refund asap.

    After months of poor performance I'm going to start with a lower target and aim for 8.

    Now Seaotter,we'll have none of that.You might not have done as well as you'd hoped,but every nsd captured is proud achievement! ;)

    After going AWOL last month, put me down for my usual 15 please

    zenshi good to see you back,#15 it is,arrr! :D

    BigMummaF Taking of elasticity,Igor desperately needs some to hold up his unmentionables..... I've put you down for #18.

    Nargle I'm putting in charge of rum rations,and I will take care of my own rum rations if you don't mind.... #15 it is!

    Gem-gem #15 again,a very popular number.....and what do you mean 'hope' to find treasure..... we will find it! :j

    Moonbeam It's always better to start with a lower figure.....so #13 it is! :D
