 The Pirates! in an Adventure with Whaling - Gideon Defoe
 The Pirates! in an Adventure with Whaling - Gideon Defoe ... scientists, the pirates' boat has been somewhat battered by the rigours of ocean life. Her mast keeps collapsing, her wheel has broken off and several of the pirates have ended up with nasty splinters. Realising his paintings can only cover up the leaks for so long, the Pirate Captain decides he must pay a visit to Cutlass Liz's boat yard (Liz is 'famed for having the best face on the entire eastern seaboard') and trade his ship in for a newer model. Dazzled by the swan-lined curtains and tennis courts of 'The Lovely Emma', and frankly, by Cutlass Liz's lovely face, the Pirate Captain makes a rash decision and finds himself with a debt of six thousand doubloons, and very little time in which to pay it before the sands of Liz's hourglass run out and he and his crew are gutted like fish.Newest Review: ... yet deadly Cutlass Liz, the Butcher of Barbados; the pirates embark on a new adventure filled with Vegas stageshows, moving ... more ... monologues and an elusive white whale in order to avoid death from crippling debt!
Gideon Defoe's follow up to The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists does everything a good sequel should do - more of the same, but in many ways quite different. So the compact structure of an absurd Monty Python giggle-fest remains, as does the brilliantly nameless crew, and the Pirate Captain's clueless idiocy and good-natured human decency. Again, it's all delivered with whip-cracking brevity throughout. Devoid of grandiose...more |

THE PIRATES! IN AN ADVENTURE WITH WHALING It was whilst on holiday in Corfu that I had a fortunate encounter with the Pirate Captain. I was enjoying a chilled pint of grog when the door slammed open to the hearty roaring of the enigmatic scourge of the seas, telling his affable scarf-wearing chum of the dangers from not eating your lemons and limes. I recognised him immediately. If the pirate hat and his luxuriant beard weren't giveaway enough, then the words 'Pirate Captain' etched into his shoes certainly made the distinction. It was quite an imperious entrance - just a shame that only a bewildered barman and a drunken chap in the corner were there to share ... Read the complete review
