This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

Richard Branson can fuck right off
Virgin Media has a call centre in Liverpool. They announced last September that it was being closed down. Nobody there has had a pay rise in 8 years and in the same time, the average wage declined from about 18.5k a year to just under 13k.

Having essentially put everyone there through shit year after year for nearly a decade and telling them that they're all being made redundant, you'd think Richard B would be sympathetic - and indeed he was. Do you know how he tipped his hat to everyone? By giving them a copy of his new book!

Cheeky fucker had the audacity to put a "not for resale" stamp on it, too. Cunt.

So I think what I'm trying to say is, only cunts give books to people. Or something. And that Richard Branson's new book is shite. And that he's a cunt.

The whole thing is reminiscent of the “we’re ruled by wankers” speech in Trainspotting.

Actually it was just over a year
I was fortunate enough to get out of the place when I did, but I still have a lot of friends who work there
