Greeting you scurvey swaabs, Boggart Blog Pirating correspondent Blaack Jaack Baastard 'yer to wite th' blog for Internaaational Talk Like A Pirate Day. Not my usual boisterous style of greeting eh mates? No, well you see poor ol' Jack, 'ee's been depressed. These paaast twelve months has seen nothin' but baad news for us Priates.
What with them S'mellialies takin' to the high seas, Bankers and Members of Parliament what is supposed to be trustworthy turnin' out more crooked that us an' even they world leaders being frauds, there's no place left for a honest crook to go. Did you know as Sarkozy wears personality lifts and Obama's six paack is photoshopped, pair o' scumsucking scurvey sharkshaggers that they are. And people says I'm a fraud acause I dyes my beard.
I did see a bit of brighter news today though, not exaaactly gren shoots of recovery but a whisper of a chaaance of and opportunity if you take moi meaning. Cyberpiracy was never for me, I ain't interested in no hacking through the baack door for me mates, I'm a stylist. In through the front door and slice the lubbers from chin to codlings, that's old Blaack Jack's style. but there may be a more acceptable way of hijacking data on the horizon.
An IT company in Durban, South Africa, was so fed up with the speed of the broadbaaand service they was getting from the local telecoms operator that it bought a courier pigeon. The pigeon took two hours to carry a 4GB memory stick 60 miles to another office, in which time just 4 per cent of the data was transferred using the internet connection. It looks like carrier pigeon is the future of the internet mates.ow Blaaack Jaaack and his shipmates, the most scabrous, syphylitic cut throats on the seven seas is partial to a pigeon pie and we reckons they memory sticks will fetch a 'aaandsome ransome.
Other that that laaandlubbers, a priate's prooospects for the next twelve months is as gloomy as yourn.
