TRANSLATION: Today, (September 19th), is International Pirate Day. So celebrate, I have pirated the blog for the day, so enjoy it whilst it is still here. For those who are new to International Pirate Day, it was a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by two Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like pirates. So if you are feeling all nautical today, check out the Pirate Day website, or go and find the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD, and try to forget the travesty of part two.

Update: I have now reverted back to normal WilcosWorld theme mode, and so all that is left is a slightly fishy smell, and a screenshot for prosperity:
