Literary corner : 50 sheds of grey

The novel “Fifty Shades Of Grey” has appently delighted women – but baffled blokes. Now a spoof, Fifty Sheds Of Grey*, offers a treat for the men. The book’s author, Colin Grey, recounts his love encounters at the bottom of the garden. Here are some extracts…

*Amazon,£6.99, or £0.74 on Kindle

 Fifty Sheds Of Grey

“We tried various positions – round the back, on the side, up against a wall… But in the end we came to the conclusion the bottom of the garden was the only place for a good shed.”

“She stood before me, trembling in my shed. “I’m yours for the night,” she gasped, “You can do whatever you want with me.” So I took her to Nando’s.”

“She knelt before me on the shed floor and tugged gently at first, then harder until finally it came. I moaned with pleasure. Now for the other boot.”

“Ever since she read THAT book, I’ve had to buy all kinds of ropes, chains and shackles. She still manages to get into the shed, though.”

“Put on this rubber suit and mask,” I instructed, calmly. “Mmmm, kinky!” she purred. “Yes,” I said, “You can’t be too careful with all that asbestos in the shed roof.”

“I’m a very naughty girl,” she said, biting her lip. “I need to be punished.” So I invited my mum to stay for the weekend.

“Harder!” she cried, gripping the workbench tightly. “Harder!” “Okay,” I said. “What’s the gross national product of Nicaragua?”

“I lay back exhausted, gazing happily out of the shed window. Despite my concerns about my inexperience, my rhubarb had come up a treat.”

“Are you sure you can take the pain?” she demanded, brandishing stilettos. “I think so,” I gulped. “Here we go, then,” she said, and showed me the receipt.

“Hurt me!” she begged, raising her skirt as she bent over my workbench. “Very well,” I replied. “You’ve got fat ankles and no dress sense.”

“Are you sure you want this?” I asked. “When I’m done, you won’t be able to sit down for weeks.” She nodded. “Okay,” I said, putting the three-piece suite on eBay.

“Punish me!” she cried. “Make me suffer like only a real man can!” “Very well,” I replied, leaving the toilet seat up.

“Pleasure and pain can be experienced simultaneously,” she said, gently massaging my back as we listened to her Coldplay CD.

Looks like it’s the ultimate “must have” book for the loo this Christmas -Ed

 

The Duchess of Cambridge – The blog goes fearlessley into battle!

In a surprise move, which has left Fleet Street gasping in astonishment, the Blog has secured and published a full frontal picture of the Duchess of Cambridge. Remember, you saw it here first!. Click to view (over 18’s only)

Condolences

The Blog was sad to learn of the recent deaths of Sue Howell whose funeral will be at Horsington Church on Monday 29th October at 1200 and  Rosemary Hitchman whose service will be held at Yeovil Crematorium at 3pm on 22nd October, both after  brave battles with cancer. We send our condolences to their families.

If anyone would like to write an appreciation of their lives, we would be happy to publish them. Please email the editor – editor@idnet.com

Another Quiz night -21st October

Half Moon
Sunday 21st October sees another pub charity quiz at the Half Moon. Usual rules – teams of 4 -(ish) 8pm. These quizzes are very popular, although the last one was marred by suggestions of cheating. We urge participants to leave their mobile phones at home, and for Andrew to turn off the pub’s Wi-Fi during the quiz.

Ploughmans, puddings and “Call my Bluff” – 6th October

This Saturday, 6th October, is the Harvest Supper in the Village Hall.  Guests are promised Ploughman’s and puddings, which sounds like a load of delicious cheeses and some lovely home made puds.

The organisers do not say whether drink will be provided, so the Blog’s advice (we always err on the side of caution) is to take your own. You can always donate it as part of the harvest!

The after dinner entertainment is Agricultural Implements “Call My Bluff”. The mind boggles. Best to take a safety helment and some wellies.

The evening begins at 7pm . Set the video to record  Strictly, and get down there.

More details and tickets from Anne Jones Tel 370626, or Rosemary Wigley Tel 371478
