winning formula

As an accomplished plagiarist i would love to claim credit for this posting from another forum, but on this occasion i merely pass it on anyway ....

" I’ve done it lads -----After years of grafting for a meagre salary, I’ve come up with an infallible way of making a shed-load of cash. I’ve written a best-selling novel. Can’t fail.A gritty tale of sex, lust, depravity and torque wrench settings:
“Fifty Shades of British Racing Green.” Watch out for it in Smiff’s in a couple of months. In the meantime, to whet your appetite...

" It has some merits, but all the best novels open with memorable lines, so how about:

It is a truth universally held that, with one bound, he could be by her side. Norah would feel his … Or

Peter, I would stick to the day job if you have one, otherwise maybe you could seek some counselling...

Peter,
I understand where your coming from man! Like all that literary talent just waiting to burst out. Awesome. Real cool Dadio.

So I am starting a new thread for the likes of us frustrated novelists, I do hope that you will add your wisdom and panache to the endeavour, as you were the inspiration for the idea.

I am launching it under a new thread so as to keep it independent of your initial genius.

P G Outhouse.

Peter – calm yourself down with a nice cup of tea – as described in Private Eye

http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/private-ey ... 1343328744

Here is the first part - to ‘wet your appetite’

I skip naked into the kitchen, my body bursting with an insatiable craving - but what for? It craves one thing and one thing only. Something warm, gurgling, moist.
Yes! A Cup of tea!
Jeez. I need it! Badly.
The kettle is electric. I glide my forefinger over its bulbous protuberance.
I press it. Upwards, upwards.
It comes alive in my hands. It lights up and leaps into action, quivering, growling, simmering, then bubbling as - oh! oh! oh! YES! YES! - it comes to the boil.
As the kettle moans and howls, my naked body known instinctively what to do. The pressure is uncontainable, it wants to detonate.
Together, the kettle and I rush headlong towards the kitchen cabinet.
My needy fingers caress the box marked ‘PG Tips’. I dive in and cup a tea-bag oh so tenderly in my hand before inserting it, firmly but gently, into the empty vessel that lies - beseeching, yearning, avid - below.

Something simmilar to appeal to blokes has appeared on Twitter..see http://www.twitter.com/50ShedsofGrey

'Wait,' she panted, 'Did you remember to take precautions?' 'Of course,' I said, 'I closed the shed door.'

'Don't hold back. Give it all you've got,' she said bending over before me. I didn't need telling twice - I hadn't played leapfrog in years.

'Use me,' she whispered, moistening her lips with her tongue. 'Alright,' I said, 'Hold the ladder while I creosote the shed roof.'
