First the bad news:
Always on the cutting edge of fashion, Marcus has come down with this season's trendiest illness: the Winter Vomiting Virus. At least, that's what it sounds like. According to the BBC website, "The illness typically starts with an attack of vomiting - which can be of the severe, projectile variety. A patient can go from feeling fine to severe vomiting in a very short period." That describes last night perfectly. One moment we were discussing Viggo Mortensen in Lord Of The Rings, and the next he was hurling violently.

The worse news is: it's highly contagious.

The good news is: it may just be withdrawal symptoms.
