- The Unexpected Exorcism of St Bagnes the Bilious: Part 1Warning: This is going to be long tale (even by my standards) so I’m going to break it up into two or three parts.

- The Insufferable Persistence of St Bagnes the BiliousYesterday was a day of toweringly high hopes and immense disappointment. I had an appointment at the hospital for them to check out the workings of my gallbladder and see whether my percutaneous cholecystostomy (a.k.a. gallbladder drain, a.k.a. St Bagnes the Bilious) could safely be removed. I’ve been stuck with St Bagnes for six weeks… Read more: The Insufferable Persistence of St Bagnes the Bilious
