They are sooooo behind the times.
This little booklet first came out in October, for National Bookstart Day, which took the theme of Pirates. The National Bookstart scheme, for those of you who aren't aware, is aimed at introducing a love books to under fives.
If playgroup leaders had gone out there teaching kids to find humour and fun in the antics of drunks, then they'd have had complaints from the other end, viz, a vocal minority of anal retentive parents.
Sometimes, you can't do right for doing wrong.

Intoxicated sailor (perfectly normal socially acceptable professional) replaced with a pirate (antisocial criminal). How is this more politically correct?
I have long wondered at the way pirates are portrayed in literature and movies. Much better our children become pirates than sailors or course.
Why not grumpy sailor if they don't like the drunken bit. What is it about sailors that is so undesirable?

Since the matter of the pirates in Somalia has been brought up.
Watching them hack open the container that held the ransom, and then escaping in their open boat, got me thinking.
Why couldn't these tankers have a weapon of a fair sized caliber hidden away? It could then be brought out when the pirates vessel was well away from the ship, and then used to blast them out of the water.
The ransom would be lost of course but it is lost anyway, but at least the pirates will have received their just deserts.
