Gimcrack hospital (PG) where the nurses are pretty and the Doctors are pissed.
Is an occasional dose of WTF such as advising about Charlotte’s polishing regimen or visions of vulva, or how about a travelling chinaman called bruce or even grand master revivified.
There is even advise on caring for your neovagina

WTF indeed. The entry about the white rulers of Sarawak alone managed to boggle my brain. Then there's the almost endless parade of fascinating filthy trivia. I don't envision much work getting done today over here, damn you, Nurse Myra.

Ahhh Tha most charming of Despots....Sylvia Brooke. From the Telegraph link: -
Ride a cock horse
To Sarawak Cross
To see a young Ranee consumed with remorse.
She'll have bells on her fingers
And rings through her nose,
And won't be permitted to wear any clo'es.'
