I was looking forward to a life of piracy on the high seas. Rape and pillage, general drunken debauchery. Turned for inspiration to Librivox's tales of Buccaneers and Privateers. Learnt how to splice the main brace, read stories of captives walk the plank. Ticked the keelhauling box and even bought ...

I'm not meaning to be prudish. I can surely turn a ripe phrase or two, only too often. It's the way such words are used so off hand in the media that annoys me. In many circumstances the absence of swearing would be wrong. Couldn't imagine the likes of Scarface saying 'Golly gosh' However I can't ag...

I hope you tell your passengers about Librivox. I do indeed Ruth. Always have the current book in the cd player and often turn it on to give people a sample. Usually get very positive feedback. I know a couple of passengers regularly use LV now. Once listened to, most discs go to an old folks home ...
