John Paul decides to not get the stitches done again and goes home with the canary girl. Ahmed sits in a corner and goes asleep with his hand over his head. One of the homeless guys has found a copy of a John Le Carré novel. As we leave he clears his throat as if to spit then shoots a long stream of puke right across the centre pages. He wipes the page clean with his sleeve and keeps on reading.And in that, perhaps, lies the lesson.You can chase a whole sorry life away searching for something to fill the 2 AM - 6 AM weekend void, but nothing will ever complete you quite as well as a decent page-turner and a nice clean stomach.
