Re: What’s everybody reading in Chit-Chat

I didn’t say it was a bad book, Spaceball, just somewhat overated.

Re: What’s everybody reading in Chit-Chat

Currently reading Too Kill A Mockingbird. Bought years ago in a charity shop and I’ve only just got round to reading it. My mate read it for his GCSE’s years ago so I thought I’d give it a go. If that book was to be written today it wouldn’t be like it is when it was published 50 years ago - would be dumbed down a bit, but its a good book and its praised deveresed, unlike, say, Catcher in the Rye. Good book but overpraised and lost its rebel credibility once it hit the school sylibus.

Re: What makes YOU a special Therapy? fan in General Therapy? Topics

Tattoos, albums and gigs aside, here are my reasons -

I was into them when they were popular
I was still into the band when they got written off
And…I’m still into them now.

Here’s another thing, which might border on the bad - supporting T? is like supporting football teams in a way. You defend them in a conversation with whoever then curse them when they put out an album that didn’t match the previous…then look back and think, bit harsh but had a point.
