Pirates set to invade country park (Brokerswood County Park) - July 11th

[hermes2007]

Smugglers and shipmates will be descending on Brokerswood County Park near Westbury on July 11 for a pirate-themed day.

Pirate ship races will be held on the park’s five-acre lake, with children and families being asked to make their own vessels out of recycled materials. Entrants can use rubber bands or sails to power their pirate ships to victory.

There will be various age categories for the competition, as well as sections for large and small ships. Entry forms need to be completed in advance and returned to Brokerswood by 5pm on July 8.

Well nearly about Pirates  

This guy is in a plane when he feels thirsty. So he calls for the stewardess and asks her politely for a Large Whiskey.  There's a parrot in the seat next to him, who snaps, "A double Scotch and make it quick."  "Yes, sir" the stewardess says, and quickly gets the bird his drink - but ignores the guy.  The parrot downs his in one gulp, and says "gimme another."  The stewardess gets him a second drink, ignoring the guy again.  The guy, meanwhile has been asking for his drink very politely.  He then decides to use the parrot's tactics and snarls at the stewardess, "You @#*$% hag, get me my bloody Scotch!"  Suddenly a large co-pilot comes out of the cockpit and ejects both the guy and the parrot off the plane.
As they're falling, the parrot turns to the guy and says, "You know, you're quite brave for someone who can't fly..."
