Shiver me timbers

It be talk like a pirate today, yarrrr!
OK, that's enough of that. But in honour of the occasion, and as I was forced to think up a fundraising activity for Family Fun evening, I wrote a piratical quiz. Which means I don't have to do a proper blog today! One colleague managed to get 8/10, but he cheated.
