Spare a thought for those not a Captain . . . they'll all imagine they're a Baldrick
Poor attempt at a cultural reference there pops. Firstly, Blackadder was only a captain in 1 of the 4 series. Secondly, if players were imagining 'they were a Baldrick' based on season one they'd be imagining themselves as competent, indeed more competent than any one else in that season. Thirdly, why would they imagine themselves as Baldrick? Of the thousands of characters created for television, why Baldrick? Why would they choose to imagine themselves as this particular character?

I'd suggest you stick to pretending your a tough guy who knows nothing about league and leave the attempts at humour to others.

Addendum, you'd make a fine captain darling, darling.

Perhaps he was referring to a bloke named Rick who's bald?

Coffee, Darling?

Wow, how's that for a reaction . . . you made my day ol' mate

Baldrick was one of my all time favourite characters, as usual you completely missed the point

My surname actually means "son of Balderic", so imagining myself as a Baldrick isn't a stretch

To paraphrase the great Edmund Blackadder: 'Your stories are like a broken pencil - pointless'.

Too easy, shallow end, fishing etc.
