I asked blythburgh if she wanted to see it but she says she's tied up Saturday night :?
Not sure but it seems hard to whip up any interest :o

Well would be rude not to give a copy to the star of the book.

I do own a whip. As a child we had horses (my Dad used to buy them at a horse auction and sell them on). Somehow I have kept the whip but no idea where it is currently. I think it is under the stairs underneath a pile of stuff.

On one occasion he bought 2 horses on the Friday and on the Sunday two women turned up on the off chance he had a suitable horse. He did and the deal was done. But she wrote the cheque on the horses rump whilst my Dad had kittens as he was not sure just how quiet the horse was. Thankfully the horse was very quiet and just stood there.

I still have happy memories of the mushrooms from the manure heap the horses and goats provided. The rotted manure was used on the garden (we were organic when nobody used that word).

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/fe ... tests-imax

it is the fact it could encourage violence/control by partners (mostly male but on occasion female ones) that worries me the most about the film. S and M if both are happy is one thing but if one partner is being co-erced then that is a boundary I do not want anybody encouraged to cross.

Apparently the film is better than the book but the author was on set every day and the director had to fight like a tiger to get her changes to the book on to the screen.

I've not read the book but my understanding is that a consensual relationship unlike. say, Straw dogs and/or Clockwork Orange which are both considered classic films
Maybe underdawg could start a poll :thumbup:
Haven't had one for a week or so

I swore her to secrecy about where the book came from. :silent: Maybe I should not have signed the message on the inside of the book. :think: But as it was only Raich I got it from a charity shop cheap of course. I would have opted for the hard back version Oxfam had but as I was not invited I got the tattier paperback. :lol:
