Random fic related question

Is any actual occupation ever given for Bootstrap Bill in POTC? (Okay so I finally secumbed and have written POTC fic. In my defence however, it's gen Bootstrap Bill and Will's Mother)

Edit: A-ha, I've got it. It's going to take a little re-writing but...

From the script:Jack : I knew ‘im. Probably one the few who knew him as William Turner . Everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill.

Will: Bootstrap?

Jack : Good man. Good pirate. I swear you look just like him.

Will : It’s not true. He was a merchant sailor. A good, respectable man who obeyed the law.

GRRRRR!

Apparently I stress my mother out just by needing to eat.

I'm about this far from smashing Colin's face in.

And yes, those first two statements are related.

Can't I go back to uni yet? I hate being home.

Do you remember the strange kid in your school, who hated the holidays and wished school would last forever. I am that child. I've not got any better.

Of course according to Colin, he and Mum are the only ones that are stressed. And you know, I'd agree with him, if I hadn't woken up screaming at least three times in the last week. I might be fine, but my subconcious isn't. Unfortunately I woke Mum up last night.

Please let me go home to uni.
