Last book I read was "You don't have to be mad to work here" by Benji Waterhouse. It's a warts and all account of the first few years of a Psychiatric Dr's experience in the NHS. It's fairly funny and depressing in equal measure. Similar to Adam Kay's book. Went to Uni with the author who's a nice lad and a Newcastle fan to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually speaks about the choice with his therapist, in the book. Essentially a subconscious attempt to cling onto his childhood, or something.

Renton 24311 Posted July 25, 2024 Share Posted July 25, 2024 Using my first night alone to watch Kill Bill 1 and 2 double bill, probably for the first time in 10 years. The films themselves are 21 years old now. They are fucking brilliant though. They just don't make films as good as this nowadays. Tarantino is easily my favourite director even if his work is as rare as rocking horse shit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
