  1. Next door are having a barbecue, damn them. It smells amazing.
  2. @LucyWaters @Pink_Blaise @emmizzykay although a bit creepy when you read it as an adult, non?
  3. @allyablaze I totally agree! It's nice that women are unashamedly recommending it to friends - just a shame it isn't better
  4. @Pink_Blaise it's just not smutty enough - loads of insinuation, very little sex
  5. @PowerFairy It's BBC Radio London at 10pm on Saturday - not sure about podcast, will look into it
  6. @MuddlingAlong yes! Good call!
  7. @HelJo74 it doesn't improve :-(
  8. @miriamkc74 holy crap!
  9. @HarperEliot ageee! I keep thinking 'why this book'?
  10. @emmizzykay good luck! It's bloody long. Or just feels that way.
  11. @LesleyPearse too right! It doesn't deliver on any of its promises
  12. @MuddlingAlong that's basically the first half of the book
  13. @samaryd whereas for me, I imagine him as Cillian Murphy which is the best part of the whole sorry business ;-)
  14. @SarahTregear wow, that's impressive commitment!
  15. I really wanted to like 50 Shades because I hate the kneejerk rejection of any erotica - but it's just a crap book. Sigh.
  16. This is all because I'm talking about 50 Shades if Grey on t'radio on Saturday. As well as better Mucky Books.
  17. Christian Grey: get down to the caning already. You're all talk.
  18. @Pink_Blaise ah go on. Go on, go on, go on. It'll make you chuckle, I swear.
  19. @titianred @lintably @LucyWaters yeah, I've got a soft rule about that riding crop *vanilla face*
  20. @rankamateur yup, she says 'holy crap' at least once in every paragraph, which makes you stabby after, oh, three pages or so
