Back home from my holiday with little (and expensive!) internet, so I am in catch-up mode.

I have just waded through The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan to refresh my memory, not having read either for a very long time. I agree, WT Sharpe - chemical compounds do seem to have had a role to play! Definitely weird, but some great imagery all the same.

And turning back to Adams, Mariner did make a great model for his ghost, including finding himself a wedding guest.

I love the way that Adams was able to juggle so many balls in the air at the same time, and was clearly having enormous fun while doing it.
