Yes, it's very enjoyable. A humorous account of the author's experience as a junior doctor in a hospital, balanced with a few sobering and sad experiences that go with that line of work. Quite easy to read, it's written as a series of diary entries over this time in the UK hospital system.

True stories of politicians (mainly from the UK) on the sauce.

This book is a lot like a Reagan-era equivalent of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury", except it's written by one of Ronnie's former chiefs-of-staff.

Re: What are you reading now?
Obviously have a fair interest in the topic, very interesting look at international diplomacy through sport. Fair to say, things have changed a bit since it was written!

Picked that up too the other week, but have only read through a handful of the stories.
Always thought it would be great to have a book of around 10 old SANFL players from the 80's telling their stories and anecdotes, say 50 pages each, where there mightn't be the market for a full book individually. Macca, Salisbury, Grenville, Scruff Hanna, Kevin Harris or Max Parker.
