Good guys, bad guys - like rilly evil Johnny Depps....
Pirates of the.... um.... some sea near... um.... Africa?
Time to clamber aboard HG Wells' Time Machine and traverse back through the centuries.

Well, ain't that the truth Jan. The magician is distracting us to look here while the action there is where it is at. Pirates of the Caribbean was a big favorite in our house with the children and I always used to point out to them that it was the big bad ugly East India Company that was the ugliest pirate of them all. Just like today.
