20 Pierrots

I was out a couple of nights ago with some folk celebrating the return of Ms Doyle from the Antipodes. It was a pleasant evening, but one that was particularly notable for the bizarre musings of Pandaman. He's getting married in October and his upcoming stag do was being discussed - this is taking place in the North of England's Liverpool late next month.

Pandaman admitted to us that he had experienced a vision of sorts of the theme of this stag event...Pierrots. You may remember - these were the sad clowns that inexplicably came back into fashion in the mid-1980s.

He wistfully described a group of 20 Pierrots at Pier Head, looking out over the Mersey, before being taunted by a team of teenage goths. A lone Pierrot at the urinal, before getting beaten to a pulp. He even treated us to an impersonation of a Pierrot every five minutes. However, he felt very disturbed that he had permitted himself to have this unusual idea. God knows why, because I thought it was quite wonderful.

Pandaman is a musician and illustrator of album covers of note, and I'm very pleased to know him.

Ms Doyle was also on form and has promised to lend me her DVD of A Dirty Shame when she next sees me. This will increase my trash levels by some margin, which is obviously a relief.
