Pat opens Episode 8 of the Monkey Scribbling pod by declaring ‘the suffering is imminent’ in a letter dated 1 March 1993, though what this boils down to is doubts about his choice of university course, an averagely-graded essay on The Deer Hunter, almost getting into a drunken fight with Ivan Lendl, and attending a couple of crap parties. His lifelong tennis partner, Jeff is compelled to point out that it’s not all doom and gloom – that 58% isn’t a disaster, he’s received a Valentine’s card from Gigi Fernandez, and lives in relative harmony with Lendl and Philippoussis, the latter of whom introduces him to Irish punk, neo-psychedelic, garage rock band, The Golden Horde. Also featuring Freud-bashing, FBI men in sunglasses and a French bloke dancing in leather pants, the latest Monkey Scribbling is guaranteed to shock, confound and amuse you in equal measure – or your postage back (terms and conditions apply).
