Wow, I love this. Shades of the man who taught his asshole how to talk. But it also reminds me of "A Case of Drowning Sorrows", one of my favourite episodes of my all-time favourite radio sitcom (and frequent comfort blanket) The Blackburn Files. I hope you might be able to find half-an-hour to listen to this at some point because, well, I hope you might like it too: https://archive.org/details/BlackburnFilesR4/303+A+Case+of+Drowning+Sorrows.mp3

I'd read some of the person's articles before I knew and they were superb.
