Oh, the year was 1778,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
A letter of marque came from the king,
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen,
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
For twenty brave men all fishermen who
would make for him the Antelope's crew
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
On the King's birthday we put to sea,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
We were 91 days to Montego Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
On the 96th day we sailed again,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
With our cracked four pounders we made to fight
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
The Yankee lay low down with gold,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
She was broad and fat and loose in the stays
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
“Ladies and gentlemen, Mister Heri Joensen.”
[Solo]
Then at length we stood two cables away,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
Our cracked four pounders made an awful din
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
The Antelope shook and pitched on her side,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the Maintruck carried off both me legs
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
So here I lay in my 23rd year,
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Halifax yesterday
God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.
Jau negana DELFI irgi nesiūlo aukščiausios kokybės, bet paywall'as mane provokuoja pereiti prie kitų alternatyvų. LRT, pavyzdžiui - mažiau naujienų, bet kokybiškesnis ir nemokamas turinys. Music'as tuo tarpu konkurentų vis dar, manau, neturi...
Tuo tarpu labiau klestintys tinklalapiai paywall'ą išnaudoja su pasimėgavimu. Aš mėgstu DELFI paskaityti, tai jie neprenumeruojančius skaitytojus terorizuoja vis labiau ir labiau. Jei prieš metus ar du po paywall'ų buvo pakišta 20-30 % straipsnių, dabar..
Silentist gerą frazę irgi pasakė. Šiek tiek siejasi su tuo, kad aš (ir ne tik aš, man rods ir tu, Rūta) tais pačiais 2014 metais siūlėmė įvesti mokamą narystę. Gal tai būtų buvęs pernelyg laiką aplenkęs sprendimas, bet dabar jis būtų taip madingas...
Turėtume ir žmogiškųjų resursų, pildančių duombazę, ir daugiau lankytojų generuotų didesnes pajamas iš reklamos, o ir apmokamą programuotoją galėtume daug dažniau išnaudoti geriems tikslams ir šitų nesąmoningų bugų tvarkymui.
Ne, vartotojai aišku negrįžo, nes priemonių buvo imtasi kokiais 6-7 metais per vėlai. Reikėjo kažkokios restruktūrizacijos imtis iškart, 2014 m. birželį (kai buvo panaikintos perklausos). Tada, praėjus lygiai 10 metų, mes turėtume daug geresnį tinklalapį.
svetainės su tiek problemų ir, kaip suprantu, 0 Eur sąskaitoj. Na, viena bėda dingo – niekas nebeklausia, ar iš sčia galima parsisiųst dainų. Kita vertus – perklausos grįžo (ir nemokamos), o vartotojai, deja, ne,,,
