It's taken so long

After eating a Chinese Takeaway I became terribly ill and was worried for my life. At one point I had a vision and it went a bit like this;

A dark tunnel
Light, light.
Take me there. I float, I swim through the colourless air towards the opening of a great chamber filled with light.
It is a giant all you can eat Chinese restaurant.
On each table are men and women who died long long ago, back in the 70s and 80s.
They each hold a silver goblet and drink clear blue liquid like it was going out of fashion.
Babycham.
I am attracted. Oh yes I am, but I resist. The pull of life is too great.
I open my eyes to see a pool of vomit all round my weak body, the remains of a shrimp swim to the surface.

Martha Wainwright is on the radio.
Ned Sherrin talks of wristbands and David Davies.

Goodbye
