...another of my Archers fantasies extracts - Well Shula is a pain isn't she? And as for Alistair! I think this beats (pun intended!) decorating the bedroom or family bike rides (remember them?!)to liven up their lives...
The following is part of what happens after Shula'd bonked Richard in the cricket pavilion

And as he pondered Alistair thought of the times Shula could be just a bit – well – smug and pompous… She did have a way of thinking she knew what was best for everyone. He couldn’t bear the thought of her betrayal but he knew she was really sorry and a repentant and subdued Shula was quite refreshing… Why, smacking her arse could be quite enjoyable… Purely to serve justice and make her feel better of course. Alistair could be as noble as Shula at her best. No wonder they loved each other despite the awful rift.

So purely in the interest of justice Alistair went away and thought about Shula’s punishment. To his astonishment he found his ‘research’ quite a pleasant distraction from the hurt, humiliation and anger of her affair. He’d always considered himself a ‘new man’ so other than as a schoolboy and just occasionally as a student he’d avoided ‘men’s magazines’ but he remembered the odd ‘spanking pose’… In order to further his research he bought a copy of ‘Fiesta’ at a motorway stop en route to a conference. He wondered if there’d always been this much about spanking… He could ring up and hear the babysitter being spanked (all the noises) or there was the college girl wife accepting hard punishment or ‘timeless tales of classic corporal punishment.’ Alistair was too sophisticated and too nervous to ring a premium rate number although he found himself surprisingly affected by the lure of “lower your knickers and bend over” and “Sally strapped across her bare behind”. He particularly enjoyed the “Timeless Tales” advert with its tasteful line drawing of a pretty young thing wearing nothing but stilettos and being caned by a professional man and then there was the drawing of a woman not unlike Shula… Only she was bent over a desk wearing stockings and suspenders with stilettos and her knickers around her knees...
