I heard Buncey say on his podcast that his book ''the fixer'' is out now, yet on amazon it is only available for pre order?:twisted:
I'm being serious. I said to Bunce i'm not interested if there's no 'Mills and Boon' style stories in it to which he promised there was :rofl
You know those bad sex awards for corny scenes in novels? Do any bookies do odds on them? Maybe Lee from the podcast can help us out here. Faulks, Wolfe, Mailer........Bunce? I think the big man belongs up there with the literary heavyweights :rofl 1993: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvyn_Bragg"]Melvyn Bragg[/ame], A Time to Dance 1994: Philip Hook, The Stonebreakers 1995: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Kerr"]Philip Kerr[/ame], Gridiron 1996: David Huggins, The Big Kiss: An Arcade Mystery 1997: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Royle"]Nicholas Royle[/ame], The Matter of the Heart 1998: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Faulks"]Sebastian Faulks[/ame], Charlotte Gray 1999: A.

That is a powerful list of men and women - It would be an honour to be in their tragic company. However, the sex scenes mirror the sex in Blackpool/Las Vegas...a business deal in/on a thong/limo/jacuzzi/shower/lift/sushi counter/golf buggy/kebab skewer/ dune/tram/donkey/fish counter/pier/magician's rabbit. Bishy, boshy and bangy. By the way it is out on April 1. Adios.
