Lol.
There are lots of 50 shades jokes going around, but this is fairly funny from an old mans point of view.
The missus bought a paperback,
Down Shepton Mallet way,
I had a look inside her bag,
It was "Fifty Shades of Grey".
Well, I just left her to it,
And at ten I went to bed,
An hour later she appeared,
The sight filled me with dread.
In her left she held a rope,
And in her right a whip!
She threw them down upon the floor,
And then began to strip.
Well fifty years or so ago,
I might have had a peek,
But Mabel hasn't weathered well,
She's eighty four next week.
Watching Mabel bump and grind,
Could not have been much grimmer,
And then things went from bad to worse,
She toppled off her Zimmer!
She struggled back upon her feet,
A couple minutes later,
She put her teeth back in and said,
"I am a dominator".
Now if you knew our Mabel,
You'd see just why I spluttered,
I'd spent two months in traction,
For the last complaint I'd uttered.
She stood there nude and naked,
Bent forward just a bit,
I went to hold her, sensual like,
And stood on her left t!t!
Mabel screamed, her teeth shot out,
My god what had I done?
She moaned and groaned then shouted out,
"Step on the other one"!
Well readers, I can't tell no more,
About what occurred that day,
Suffice to say my jet black hair,
Turned fifty shades of grey.

Very well done to everyone who is making savings and contributions to their pots. I'm just dropping in as I haven't been on for a while due to work commitments. I have been potting a very healthy few NOTES and pound coins in the last few weeks
Pots are starting to feel like they mean business. They're almost screaming at me to put change in!

Hi all, what's been happening? Hope everyone is doing well. Still quietly potting away and my pot is about 3/4 full. No idea how much is in it but I've just been emptying all coins from my pocket every night, so hoping its a reasonable sum.0
