"Tally ho!"



Apologies if you were already fully aware of this, but I've only just noticed that the longlist has been announced for the Bad Sex in Fiction Award. As a public service, the Guardian has printed the nominated entries in full.

"less of a sauce, more of a glaze" is probably the best phrase I've EVER READ.

"Winkler" by Giles Coren must, SURELY take the gong.

Although Elton's "Tally Ho" and Theroux's "Demon eel" were both amazingly bad.

Never mind bad sex in fiction, what about bad sex in real life? What are they doing to stop that?
