Nimrod Balls (no relation - Ed) popped into the British Museum to answer the call of nature
He happened upon the ancient lost city of Herculaneum, previously buried under 20 metres of ash
Nimrod identified with Herculaneum at once, paradoxically famous for being largely unknown throughout the world
He went to the loo and wished that he too would one day be rediscovered and become the subject of an exhibition
Nimrod Balls left the Museum, tripped over the legs of an Italian tourist sitting on the steps and landed face-down in an old cigarette butt
"Hallelujah!" he cried, although he wasn't a religious man - or hadn't been up until now
