Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

I don't have much experience in cheekiness, but I'll have a crack.

Their favourite BBC drama set in the 1950s in the news room of a popular news programme is The Arrrr (?)

What did the pirate say when he got his wooden leg stuck in a freezer?

(He only gets that if he's repeat offender.)

Why don't pirate ships have engines? Because no pirate wants to hear the command, "Haaaaarrd astern".

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

Why do pirate ships have sails?
They always like to knock something off.... (tough one)

How do Pirates always punish their enemies?
Plancks. Constant.

What's a pirate?
Service charge calculated to three decimal places.

Bring your meringue to Disneyland, Stringfellows and MacDonalds - take pie to three dismal places.

Re: Thread Killers Anonymous

After that version set in a US parachute factory during WWII, is their any chance that Bizet's (and Mérimée's) classic could be set in south London, possibly with the title, Tooting Carmen?
