Well I've passed 20.000 downloads... 20. 059 last I looked, and still counting. It mightn't compare with some of the milestones reached around here, but a few months back I'd never have thunk it...TWENTY GRAND, no less.
So many thanks to all who downloaded my stuff and pushed the count a tad beyond 1/5th of 100,000.

Seems t' me, me bucko, I be g'wen t' 'ave ter come o'er thar meself n' git t' tha cave me wot great, great, great grandpappy starkers told I 'bout... it be a secrit one wot still 'aves booty piled up t' tha stalagmites. I know of it cos tha map what tattooed on 'e's arse n' that bit o' skin wos 'anded down t' I. I muss admit, tho, I could ne'er decide wevver X marked tha spot whar tha cave be... or wevver it be that big 'ole in tha middle.

Funny thing you ask, my mother has just come back from Devon and brought the bloke she is going to remarry with her. He was was born in Cornwall, still has the broad West Country accent and made the comment that while I have some Australianisms, I still have the Devonshire accent, though not quite as strong as he remembered. My father and I used to work with him (Dave) as Sub-contract plasterers before we moved to Oz.
As fer tha Pirate-speak, I don't 'ave ter try very 'ard at all t' git it flowin' b'tween me kissers... tha West Country accent lends itself purrfekt like, don' it.
And again, thanks for the congrats. ![]()
