“What are you on about? Am I missing something, or could you be a little more specific?”

“50 shades of Grey is a book one in a series of three. My wife and seemingly all of her friends on facebook and at school are raving about it. The main male character's very good in the bedroom department.”

“With their partner's what? Or did you mean 'partners'? In which case how many partners is a woman to have? I certainly hope that my wife has only me as her partner.”

“I meant their partner as in the singular actually sorry for the confusion. I guess the reading epidemic does not include any ladies that read posts on this web site.”

“I didn't find the post confusing - maybe it was me!!! To be fair I read a sample and didn't find it a book I wanted to read...... And I have friends who are of the same mind. Oh well - good job we're all a bit different methinks”

“Strangely my wife said that she thought it was quite poorly written having read the first chapter, however she persevered and by chapter eight where it all gets happening she was hooked.”

“Mills and Boon come to mind,trashy novels ?”

“I think the success of this book is down to clever marketing rather than literary merit.

It's just another fad that the female sheeples feel obliged to follow.”

“I know what you're on about now, and if you need to send "him indoors" for lessons in the bedroom it's a waste of time, you're obviously with the wrong guy!

Mine doesn't need any help in that department thank you, but if someone wants to pay him for lessons me and him will split it 50/50!”
