Thanks for the French thinking, but i'm not sure it is a good idea, cause "Lead adventure" is almost "untranslated" ! I'm so sorry...


As long as it sounds good, that's all that matters.  :mrgreen:

And weighty is good. These are men with the weight of a thousand sins on them.

For now the ship shall be christened, Le Plomb d'Aventures because I think it sounds cool.  :lol:

And Chris' translation is even worse :wink: ! "Plombé" (leaded) is a familiar word to indicate "to be in a bad way" (as if you had recieved buckshot. ) A movie, for exemple, can be "plombé" by a bad actor.


YES! I WIN!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, I quite like "Aventure Plombée", it turns something which is pretty stale once translated literally to French (The Lead of Adventures) into something of a pun : The Doomed Adventure.

I like Nowfel's suggestion for the ship's name - poetic, and prescient - for what will happen to them Pirates when me Royal Navy gets hold of 'em!!

Of course, there is no space at present for Capt Sir Dominic Norrington on the Lead Adventure, but I'm sure he'll find a way to get on board in the sequel!! :wink:
