May I remind you all that today is International Talk Like a Pirate day. Please remember to talk like a pirate at all times as per Section 14.4 of the Rulebook. Some simple phrases to help you with your daily duties follow:

"All aboard! This train be bound for King's Cross! Mind t' oars!"

"This train terminates here. Clear the decks you scurvy dogs afore I make ye walk the plank. Please remember to take all your belongings with you"

"Shiver me timbers! That muck swaggerin' dog of a Line Controller has changed the destination o' this fine schooner. Jump ship here if yer too lily-livered to ride to Ealing Common "

"Ahoy me hearties. I be right sorry but we be anchored at a red signal. I'll sweet-talk that son of a biscuit eater in the fo'c'sle and find out how long he wants us to wait afore continuin' our sweet trade"

Carry on chaps. ;D

If you have, you will have to "walk the gap" [Groans at how bad that was]

"Drink up me harties, yo ho!"

One of the best lines / directions of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy - there were many others of course, apart from this final line ("Is this a dream? If it were a dream, they'd be rum.")

I like the reference to the biscuit eater. That be us, though unfortunately washed down with tea and not rum.

Aye but once upon a time 'twas a different story! It's amazing what treasures were secreted in the back of signalmen's desks, miniatures were certainly not unusual!
