   "Is it a real pirateship??" asks the teenage girl
   "No." says I bluntly.
   "Awwww ):"
   "It's a merchant vessel" I explain

Nope! Graduated last year and moved to NYC! But I totally miss it! Bham is probably one of the most awesome small towns ever!

Being a landlubber, I always imagine cannons as being a lot bigger...
