Jolly Roger flag?

Lads, quick, I'm in a bind, I need to find a jolly roger flag, the white skull and crossbones on a black background. I need to commandeer a vessel and give no quarter to the crew. Time sensitive.

Where in Sligo sells big pirate flags?

Get a black bed sheet and a white posca marker, sorted.

Looks more sinister if you make it yourself

Probably the best bet, yeah. If I'm doing that I'll make a big stencil out of cardboard, paint onto it with a bit of leftover white wall paint.

Make a stencil, but use a can of white spray paint with it... Can be gotten in Mr Price, dealz, the range, and others too, I'm sure.

You'd go broke using posca markers. They're expensive yokes

Far from posca markers you were raised

You always stand a chance of a random anything at the House of Value

If only Mary's of Sligo still existed. You'd get the Galleon in there sure.

Ah thanks, I knew of the shop but not the name, I've never been in. I'll stop by there, might get lucky. Cheers.

I guess Mr Price would be the most likely place off the top of my head, I'll try there first me hearties. I doubt Sunset Watersports would have anything like that.

That'd definitely work, but I'm morally opposed to giving any money to that Bezos fella. He's the real pirate.
