Omg! I must buy this now, how can I live without knowing what happens next????
I bet she gives him a blow job in the stationery cupboard at the office and Valerie walks in and is distraught because she's been lusting after the woman foe ages and so it ends up being a threesome but ultimately the love triangle is doomed and the atmosphere at work is not quite the same after that....

"Take me!" she cried, "Take me now! Take me to Paradise!"

David looked up from his newspaper and looked into Jane's laconic eyes. "Sure, love," he replied, "£1.70. But this bus only goes as far as Arnold Market. You probably want the 79B. 13 and 43 past the hour."

I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Wait, stop the presses, hold your horses, arrest those bosoms, goddamit!!!

Whew. Now then. I know I should give you all a chance to recover from my last post, but since 50 Shades of Grey has been mentioned, I just have to post this hilarious, profusely gif-illustrated review. Read it now. Trust me - you won't be sorry.

Miss Prunella Tadwalliger-Smythe looked disdainfully at Lord Edwin Roger Humperslut. "You, Sirrah, are no gentleman!" she exclaimed. Lord Humperslut grinned evilly. "It's no gentleman you're after!" he shouted, roughly grabbing her left breast in his gauntleted left hand, as he raised his riding crop with his right. "I'll teach you proper manners, you bourgeois shopkeeper's get!"

Suddenly the stable door flew open. Padrick O'Brien, the castle gamekeeper, stood in the doorway, surrounded by a nimbus of golden late afternoon autumn sunshine, his honest, ruddy face flushed with anger and his shillelagh gripped tightly in his hand. Prunella could see the rough hairs of his muttonchop whiskers glowing in the failing light. "I'm about thinking you've had one whiskey too many, yer Lordship", he said with quiet but polite menace.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
