......from which we must surely deduce that Mr MacGowan lost his in the French Quarter and that he is sporting third party shades in the photo.

They will surely in that case turn up on ebay.

Although of course the fact that one already has a pair is not absolutely a reason for not attempting to acquire someone else's. It just goes like that sometimes.

All I know is mine are safely in my pocket, although I could've sworn I kept them on until I sang "thousands" and I see we have only arrived at our attempt at "sunnyside" in the photo. Now that is a mystery.

Possibly Ross Duncan relinquished his shades to keep Shane focused on the stool?

Is there any chance that Mr MacGowan could have surreptitiously "borrowed" your shades for the photo then slipped them back into your pocket after, or is that pure fantasy?

Well, that would require a degree of hand/eye coordination which, I think it's fair to say, was not accessible to Mr Mac on the day in question.

I trot off to Mexico for a few weeks and all goes to Hell! I CAN envision The Pogues in Oaxaca for Dia de los Muertos however... Territa and I can be his minders because our Spanish is so good. ¡seríamos defensores diligentes!

Great plan, Kathleen. They might add a few suitable songs, Down in the Ground..., perhaps even throw in Mexican Funeral in Paris.

As long as you minders promise to keep them away from speedboats ;(
