PANNELL
Pannell…where to begin?
I’d seen him around y’know? Mutual friends in a town that drowned the meek…he was meek. At the time I was concerned he was a goner but before long his intrinsic buoyancy began to show…wit, perseverance, self-faith and most importantly the most simultaneously dry but warm sense of humour around among us 11-year-old “Haverhill Kids” of the nineties.
When I first talked to him I was surprised that he was cool…relatively cool at least. Eccleston had fed me fables of a geek, a loner of a brass band boy with little passion, direction or social skills…well that’s eccleston for ya, degrading and spiteful about anyone “better” than him at anything. Pannell had him wooped to be fair! Eccleston was fat to begin with and Pannell was only chubby, Eccleston was a fucker and Pannell…was a fuck.
I think the turning point in our union came at Linton College when we bridged that seemingly uncrossable void of mutual friends with the merging of me, Eccleston, Lewis and of course Pannell. Lunchtimes of football, lofted balls and silky almost womanly skills, hours apon hours of dissing in unison everything we would one day come to miss…everything that wasn pannell.
These days hes still a dude…he loves Haverhill and is the most naive person iv ever met but hes still a dude…he likes some real shitty music but hes still a dude…he touches kids but hes still a dude…he loves candy…and finland.
And hes one o my closest friends.
