to make use of Fifty Shades of Grey

[Lonelylou]

I'm using my half read one as a place mat for a hot cup of bedside coffee.

How about you?

Not sure if this counts, but I've used the money I didn't spend on it to buy some more children's books.

And I'm using the time I haven't wasted reading it to bum about on mumsnet.

Mine's on a kindle, I took great pleasure in deleting it :)

Lots of pointless threads on MN, don't bother yourself by not clicking, I think it's fairly clear from the title what it is about.

I'm using the brain function it would take to read it, to tell you YANBU :D

altinkum no one made you click on this thread. If you want a thread with a point why don't you make one yourself?

What did you expect to find when you clicked on a post with 50 shades in the title?!

YABU to start another thread about 50 shades of grey.

YANBU to use a book as a coaster, if you are trying to show a lack of respect for the book then you'll have to try a bit harder.

Hasn´t anyone said that they´re using it for bumf yet?

keep them, no doubt if a film is made people will be n a mad rush to buy them again. Ebay them at that time

If a film is made they'll release special edition ones with Robert Pattinson on the cover.

If you haven't already you must read this

Lots of ideas here. I like the Christmas tree one, I might give it a go and put some on the front of cards, making sure that you can see the part that says 'holy crap' to make it extra festive.

My quarter read one is gathering dust - maybe I should find a use for it.

I thought it was crap of the highest degree......dreadful and overrated shite!

Seems like I've also used it to start a thread to enable altinkum to vent whatever else she's cross about. She seems to be looking for a cause.

Could we call it using 50 shades for 'Anger Management'

On one of these threads the other day there was a link to an hilarious critique of the book with lots of small film clips. Any one got it?

TIA

I saw a woman in Sainsbury's at the weekend who had five copies of it in her trolley. Wish I'd had a good nose to see what else she was buying. The special offer batteries perhaps

LOL Tristessa

I saw a woman in tesco yesterday flicking through it...I told her it was utter crap and not to bother. I saved her £3.86 - twas my good deed for the day :)

She probably waited for you to leave then bought it anyway.
:)

I returned mine to Amazon with a strongly worded complaint about its complete and utter godawfulness.

They gave me my money back.

Now I am considering buying a shitload of them a filming my own version of the bucket list. 50 things to do with 50 shades thst don't involve reading...

1. Throw it in a volcano.
2. Feed it to a shark.
3. Bury it and its author alive.

And so on.

I am dying of laughter at that blog Trills!

My partner just asked me why I'm having a seizure - I practically fell off the chair laughing!
