Re: modern day pirate
Shiver me timber's.
Good luck to the guy. Its a bloody disgrace that it cost £20 for a decient bottle of Malt Whiskey, in this country. Yet if you go to the continent it will cost possiblt half that for a larger bottle. 
Bloody money grabbing government.

If you're referring to posting a link with an underlined text, yes it is easy. Go to advanced posting, click the little ball icon, and you get a popup that allows you to post a description and a link.
If that's not what you mean, then I haven't got a clue as to what you're after.

Re: modern day pirate
as danielf posted look for the little globe with the chain links under it when you post your reply , the first box you get will be what the link will be called , the second box will be the link itself , i.e. www.jkfgkukfj.cod , ok

Trouble is I think most people ignore "post titles" (I had to look twice before I could figure it out! )

Re: modern day pirate
Thumbs up to the guy - but what's to stop another 'real life pirate' pulling up alongside him and robbing him blind??

Re: modern day pirate
Now that we've sorted out links, going back to the main topic.
I say good on the guy.
1) He spotted a gap in the market.
2) He took time to check it was legal
3) He had the guts to invest and actually do it.
Now he'll have to fend off unfriendlies brought in by the publicity.
Let's hope he's not sunk without a trace in the near future.

Re: modern day pirate
Thats a coool idea. Not that I smoke so wouldnt be much use to me, but certainly a good business idea.
Fair play to him.
I'd love to own a boat, that would be cool.
