the Pirates were seen in New Brighton again today, where they were heavily outnumbered by a gathering of little landlubbers. Discretion being the better part of valour, they withdrew to appear another day. Informants tell us they will be back at the pop-up exhibition tomorrow at 11AM in the Village Green.
ooo-argh.
