well documented, most reassuringly by the late and truly great John Peel on
Home Truths, Radio 4. The article began with his confession that after a
fluroscein angiogram he would take delight in going to a public lavatory

watch the faces of all the other chaps as his luminous urine passed them in
the gutter. Ho ho.
But he also mentioned the asparagus effect, and I can sympathise with you
both.
