Denis Waterman has croaked. Shame. Right. I’ll have a look.”

…coffee almost cold, finds himself on a celebrity website, looking at a picture of Rula Lenska fondling a baby elephant’s trunk. He thinks he might type “every cloud..” in a post, but thinks better of it. Glugs the last ounce of coffee, flicks the radio back on, and sings idly “I could be so good to you. Treat you like you want me to. Dah. Dat dat de di dah…
