Bad sex scenes in books shortlist

There are some corkers!

Quote:
“He tips her back and lays her on the dissecting table. She takes off her skirt, spreads her legs and tells him: ‘Fuck me like a machine.’ And while her breasts spill out, Simon begins to flow into her assemblage.

Leeds Armoury is awesome. I know some people who have been to handling sessions there - getting to hold and wave about genuine bits of antique kit - and they had a cracking time. Also, there is a suit of armour for an elephant.


My friends saw "The science of Zombie Killing" where the armourer went to town on gel heads using katanas (waste of time), axes (pretty pro) and halters (fuck! Yeah!) And said it was great.

I have never been :(

Popped into see Monsieur Aris today in between Amazon shifts for a cuppa. Got to see ALL THE PICKSULZ of his new 4k Xbox and even shoot his gun. He also gave me a muffin. No dog though. :(

I’ll definitely take you airsoft if you’re actually interested. It’s kinda stupid painful fun.

I'd tag along to that, espesh if it's an urban site. And if it's not too cold. I've still got a few pew-pews lying around.

Jem'd probably be up for it too.

It's Saturday morning and as usual I'm sat in the waiting room while my girls are dancing. There's a woman in here who hasn't stopped talking and the guy she's talking to has the patience of a saint. He's responded with "yeah.." and nothing else for 40 minutes now. She's really annoying!

There's also another woman who clearly doesn't like her daughter. She's done nothing but look on her phone and shouted at her since she's got here.

The girls are enjoying it though. They're dancing to Moana which amuses me as it's sung by the same guy who threatened to turn things sideways and stick them up his enemies candy asses in the early 2000's.

We have taken to swimming as a regular Sunday fixture. Two hours in the local brine pool followed by a drive to a National Trust place with 30-60 minutes (nap occurs here).

Couple of hours split between buggy and a walk and then we’re good to drive home for a short relax, tea and bed.

Currently testing a new system for children's care and as such have been creating many dummy records. Had some trouble setting up a carer (Mother Hubbard, of 'A Shoe', Cornmarket, Oxford). Email exchange:

IT support: Which child are you trying to place with Mother Hubbard?
Me: Genghis Khan.

I was creating dummy records for a system last week and had to stop myself from using my usual 'John Smith' as a contact, as the brewery we're building the system for might think we're taking the piss. Although Genghis might have made a mean landlord too.

Your periodic reminder that, before you put comedy values into test systems, you should think hard about what happens if those values leak into prod.

circa 15 years ago...

"Why does my website have "arse" written in the top left, Gareth?"
"Oh, that was just a debugging thing I put in and must have forgotten about - will remove it now, sorry!"

Fortunately it wasn't on anything particularly important or customer-facing...

...and obviously now I just use "banana in disk drive error"

While testing email filtering rules, I made a redirect loop, and crashed Cardiff's COMSC email server with millions of emails with a subject line of something like "why doesn't my fucking procmail work".

'banana' was always my go-to word when I wanted to test something would display on-screen. :)

Or comments in an install script about teabagging someone’s mum that get left on the desktop of a customers server.

I did something just last week, it was a kind of workflow thing for new starters, it was a bloody nightmare as it works its way around about six different departments depending on all sorts of crap. Anyway it sent out about a dozen notifications to payroll with the subject line something like "payroll action needed - name - blah blah blah" and then just "blah blah whatever" and a link in the body of the email. Fortunately I know them all pretty well.

I once created a calendar system for logging when charity events are occurring in our stores, and what's been done and how much has been raised.

They, unbeknownst to me created a little flash video of how to use the system based off the test data instead of the live data, and so the whole company still sees the sample events "Duck Hunt", "Duck BBQ", and "Duck Feast".
