Very usable on this, our last outing from The Black Pig.
It has been busy, too busy but I canna complain.
Photie in today's Courier.
Oh, a lot of our stuff is on Youtube, most notably, Pro Libertas, our Robert Bruce piece.
Good family entertainment.
I'll let you know what's next and get you in as script-writer!
Thanks.

Cash for jokes? Now you're talking . . .
A pirate walks into a bar. Says ouch. Nah, that's not it!
The barman notices the pirate has a peg leg, a hook and an eye patch. "How did you end up with a peg leg?" asks the barman.
The pirate replies, "I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. As my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."
"That's amazing," says the barman. "What about your hook?"
"Well," answers the pirate, "we were boarding a ship when one of the enemy hacked off my hand."
"Incredible. So how did you get the eye patch?"
"An orange squirted in my eye," the pirate replies.
"You lost your eye to orange juice?"
"Well," says the pirate, "it was my first day with the new hook . . ."
I'm here all week.

You might have told me this before today, we've finished the run.
If you could manage a script for a 30 minute documentary on a painter of Scottish scenes which I need by Thursday I'd be obliged.
Go to Youtube and see Celtic Waves (in three parts).
It's the follow-up to that.

Sat through Celtic Waves, but no sign of Kenny Dalglish with both hands in the air. Is that in the new film?
As for the script, all you needed to do was a voiceover right at the start, something like, "A long time ago in a galaxy far away . . ." and then have the rest of the week off.

Maybe I should scroll the opening credits into infinity (and beyond!).
But I made a start on it and gave up after half an hour.
Instead I read The Ancient Mariner for inspiration.
It might as well have been The Good Ship Venus such was he paucity of lift it gave me.
Another one of our Youtube pieces, Foundations Of Stone (in two parts) had its narrative written on a sunny day with a contemporary bagpipes and drums CD belting out.
I got it off in one sitting.
It sounds like I'm up for a fight rather than telling the story of a stone-carver who re-creates Pictish Images.
Tomorrow I'm Captain Hook in Glasgow for four hours.
I have exactly the same injury as Paul McHale but unlike him, my season is not over.
Instead it's a good rub of Deep Heat and once more into the breeks.
Footballers eh?
What a bunch of saps.

Ah, there was a slugger, eh? Wouldn't have fancied being the skipper, though. Nor the cabin boy. Bring tears to a glass eye. And you can take glass as a euphemism for an abbreviation of The Land Of The Rising Sun . . .
BTW, what's the difference between Captain Hook and Captain Hogwash? Apart from the hook, of course? There isn't a punchline after that, I just have an insatiable thirst for knowledge/nothing better to do.

Hook is an upper class sadist.
Just the sort of thing you set before children.
Costume is bright red and more camp than a camping thing.
Kids are terrified by him and parents find this amusing.
Maybe they are sadists too.
Hogwash is your bog-standard swashbuckler with a West Country/Devonian accent.
His costume is more practical but I dropped the Tom Jones PVC trousers (as in 'changed them')after day one as they left my legs looking emaciated through moisture loss.
I found a loose-fitting knee breech in breatheable cotton to be more suited to performance and the medial ligament trouble that ensued I am sure was unrelated.
Johnny Depp will ensure this theme will keep us busy during summer but just in case, we have a Dinosaur Hunt for kids.
This is great, starts off in educational mode then descends into mayhem.
But on the subject of pirates, there's a site;
www.talklikeapirate.com
...and this should answer your cutlass queries and captain's conundrums.
regards,
The Cap'n |
