It’s Pirate time!

For the fourth year running, Bring Stuff would like you to come and join us on the Tattershall Castle to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day – by turning up dressed as a pirate.

The incredible smart boffins at the Laboritoire Garnier have just completed their seven year mission to finally confirm that dressing as a Pirate actually makes it easier to talk like a Pirate.  True Story.

There is an event page on Facebook here:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=112746082113909

Download yer Hug a Pirate Voucher here!

Download yer Pirate Sea Shanty Song Sheet here

Come and join us on the Saturday 18th September 2010 on the Tattershall Castle to dress, speak and yarrrrgghhhhh as loudly as possible to each other and dance to cheesy tunes on the onboard nightclub.

There’s talk of several other events happening during the day, more details on charity walks and pre-party pub crawls on the south bank will be added later…

We’ll be on the aft-deck from 7.30pm onwards, it won’t cost you a shiny tooth to come on board the massive floating bar. They serve food and if you turn up that early you’ll see me try to speak as I jam a large cow-burger into my gaping maw.

As usual, if I’ve not lost my sea legs I’ll organise another Pirate Jig-off and stupid prizes for categories of Pirates outfits.  We don’t do best pirate (Captain Blood gets my vote), but unusual is right down my river inlet.

We’ll head downstairs to the nightclub at 11.00pm (it’ll cost you a fiver to get in) to party it up as only a Pirate can until the early hours of dawn.

Please don’t come as a Ninja, we still haven’t found any sign of Dave McReady who turned up last year wearing a pair of silken pjamas.  I mean honestly, who’d come to a Pirate party dressed as the arch nemesis of Pirates?  More importantly, we ALL know who’d win in a fight between Pirates and Ninjas, right?

And to think I nearly braved going home to get some hats and tashes – private booth karaoke becomes extremely special when you have a ‘thirsty’ button with a useful waitress who appears in the blink of an eye and a box of dress-up paraphernalia.

Now I likes me some Karaoke, it’s true. In the past I was used to seedy PA systems at restaurants, caterwauling on street corners and even whispered lullabies to sleeping babes (none of mine own). Nothing prepares you for a private session though, in luxurious surroundings, with a fully stocked and prepared cocktail bar with delightful canapés and such friendly and charming hosts.

My visit to the Islington branch of Lucky Voice was courtesy of Qype and Windows 7 Mobile and possibly I wouldn’t have ventured so far north to check out this venue. After spending a roaring night of rapping, singing and laughing I have so many good memories that I really would consider dragging my pals to do it, not because the central London venue is booked. Even when I wandered away from the bar to munch on more Hoisin Duck pancakes (folded elegantly like a seaside chip wrapper cone) to find my Mohito delivered to a charming young lady, nothing bothered the bar staff. He was already making a replacement for me, rather then leave it to melt on the bar edge – a sign of good training and thoughtfulness.

Being of Mediterranean blood, I tend to generate enough heat to power a small island and I would have preferred more air-conditioning in the booths – not to say it’s rubbish – but as I danced more and got even hotter, I felt the need to take the occasional mulligan in the sumptuous bar area to cool down at times. Aside from that, top times all round!

So facial furniture gave me a reason to expand my natural hirsuteness and see what else people could do with the recipe.  I quite like going out in Shoreditch too as you never can tell what you’re going to see or do.  For example, as we were waiting outside Hoxton Square a large police van pulled over and three coppers jumped out to accost a skinny jeaned youth, looking to find out what the long black thing in his hand was.  Expecting drugs or maybe even a flick-knife, the police seemed relieved to see it was a thin moustache, to the amusement of his plaid shirted jokers.  These guys weren’t even with us.

Rather dismally, the bouncers at the Electricity Showrooms did not get the memo and decided to be angry and rubbish – proclaiming “no fancy dress” as we tried to sneak in.

We quickly blew them off, updated Facebook and hoped people would find us over the road at the rather nice bar trafik.

In my chefs garb outside trafik I quickly made friends with the manager, mostly because people kept coming up to ask me what ‘is good tonight’ and ‘what are the specials tonight’ before heading in.  My Italian presence seemed to channel the hunger for pizza and spicy meatballs through the crowds wandering past.  Being a simple man from the country I didn’t realise that half of the enquiries probably weren’t about the food menu at the bar.

There were some spectacular lashes, costumes, piercings (although they may well have been real…) and even a real piece of ‘facial furniture’ in gold and black!

The stickers and cards we’d brung made friends with everyone, but I think the marker pens were the most popular.  A group of ladies allowed me to demonstrate on one of their number an ‘arm-tattoo’ and they proceeded to draw on themselves and other randoms throughout the bar.

I managed to escape with only a red pen mark to the face and a green inky legend on my apron proclaiming “Laura loves IT”, I never did find out which branch of Information Technology she was into or if she was a Mac or a PC.

As the After-Eights were withdrawn from the darker recesses of my bag, a quick demonstration soon showed everyone how to play the game.  If you’ve never played before, this is how it works:

01. Place After-Eight on forehead.

02. Wiggle head and use tongue to get chocolate into your mouth.

03. Do *not* use hands to move chocolate.

04. If chocolate falls on the ground, you lose.  If it goes in your mouth, you win!

After Anup proved himself the first place sticky-chocolate face of the night, he foolishly tried to do two at once.

After hearing seventeen subtly different versions of Lady Gaga’s songs at the club we dispersed into the night parading the giant Fork and Chef through the various fast food outlets of Old Street.  The rubber chicken tasted chicken flesh for the first time and we made friends with the ugliest kebab shop owner mankind has ever known.

On the night bus we shared the furry bounty of the night with different people heading south of the river.

One emotionally clad girl proclaimed that she would name her first-born (she wasn’t pregnant) after me as she loving caressed her new tashe in her bus-window reflection.  It’s kind of comforting to know there will be another Giacomo in the world one day.
