Shoulders?-Stomach!

I was thinking about people who like a drink and a cig. You know, a toke, a cheeky flutter, a ritualistic use of prostitutes, a honk, a sniff, a vape. A damn hot cup of steaming joe, a box set marathon, a go on the nags (gambling not bestiality), a go on the nags (bestiality not gambling), a scratch on the old shittercards, a knit and bingo, a sweatpants and vest mmorpg sesh with full in game purchases. A cheeky Deliveroo. Crisps. A brew. Anyone got a brew on? Having a brew mate? Brew on? Brew?

How many vices have you got and how much do they cost you each month in £££?

When I say vices I don't mean sumtimez i have a crisp but something that's solidly wormed its way into your weekly ritual.

I don't gamble or do drugs, nor do I have an issue with overeating or food addiction. Outside of drinking beer I've got a pretty arms-length approach to most of these things, if not an outright disinterest. But everyone's got their own thing, at least one thing that's habitual. What are yours?

Masturbating - free.

CAB - a bargain at £8 per month.

Late night stress eating.  About £10 a week (my tastes are pretty cheap).  I've virtually stopped the takeaways, thank goodness, but crisps, nuts, chocolate, breadsticks and dips, and endless rounds of toast still remain.

Meals out - £20-£50 per week.  occasionally we go somewhere nice, but mostly just go to a random country pub or cafe cos I can't be arsed to cook.  At least once a week.

Scratching my balls - free.  Sniffing my fingers afterwards is free too, but I save it for alone time I'm not an animal.

Alcohol - just have a glass of random spirit left over from Christmas presents with fruit juice once in a blue moon.  or a pint if I'm out, but I never am anymore.  Less than a fiver per week.  Used to be 10-20 times that.  What am I going to do with all the money?

Ciggies/drugs - never, was only ever an occasional indulgence anyway.

No vices.

I spend more on coffee than is probably normal. But that's not a vice, is it? Not really deleterious to body or soul.

A financial advisor asked me what my biggest outgoing was, per month. I didn't have an answer (his chauvinistic allusion to 'liquid refreshment' earned him a withering look. What a prick).

After bills and all that - therapy. Not a fucking vice.

Sorry, got nothing.

Why would anybody post their vices in a thread started by somebody who appears to be one of the most judgemental people on this board; one who, for example, used to regularly rail against even the mildest drug users in lurid terms, has labelled people who practice BDSM as psychopaths, and has droned on about overweight people's lack of self-control?

I can't imagine you'll have many people queuing up to share their vices in front of your usual moral high-horse-ry, even though that probably wasn't your intention in starting the thread (although re-reading your OP's last paragraph, I start to wonder).

I mean fuck me, you even got judgey on me once for spending around £40/month on lottery tickets (1 Lotto & 1 Euromillions per draw), and I wouldn't even count that as one of my vices!

So no, thank you.


Despite all that, Happy New Year, you fucker! :-)

If not for my vices and my bugged out desires my year would be good just like Goodyear's tyres.

Drinking absolute shitloads of alcohol. I met a friend of mine last night who I'd not seen for, like , three years or something, great bunch of lads he is, dead ringer for Steve Lamacq so he is, too, and we went to this lovely little Armenian place, and we quite literally drank an awful lot of àlcohol, including vodka of various coloured hues, had a fucking brilliant time, so we did.
So, yeah,  if pushed, I would say my vice is alcohol. I would even go so far as to say that I'm a person who drinks a lot of alcohol.
Don't worry about what Ambient Sheep said, shouldy, at least as far as I'm concerened, be as judgemental about me as you like, you great big slaphead, couldn' t give a wooden wank about you and your opinions, mate.

QuoteDon't worry about what Ambient Sheep said, shouldy

While there's a time for discussing the merits/drawbacks of certain vices this thread was just meant to be light-hearted confessional.  I'm not sure hair-trigger personal abuse was what I was hoping for but hey got to start somewhere. I would probably calmly suggest that recalling certain things someone said 13 years ago when they were 19 as though they still believe that today is a bit silly.

Coffee - about £3 for a jar seems to last the month, don't really bother with takeaway ones

Beer - oh fuck.  Probably about £250.

Avril Lavigne

I told myself I'd tone down the drinking this year, so far I've been sober for 1 day.

When Wilbur Wright from off of planes died, his father wrote:

QuoteA short life, full of consequences. An unfailing intellect, imperturbable temper, great self-reliance and as great modesty, seeing the right clearly, pursuing it steadfastly, he lived and died.

If I were to die today, my own father could obituarise me with:

QuoteA short life, full of consequences. An unfailing intellect, imperturbable temper, great self-reliance and as great modesty, seeing the right clearly, pursuing it steadfastly, he wanked and died.

Well, don't laugh too much at the diet biscuits or you'll do more than seep.

Usually go out for 2 pints

Plus weekends, the odd one at home etc

The internet.

I fantasise about living without internet access in my home.

I used to live in a house without a kitchen so I'd call in at the co-op everyday after work and probably buy prepackaged sandwiches and crisps. At weekends I could easily total an entire box of cornflakes with about 4l of milk. All day cereal sessions are sorely underrated.

I probably drink the equivilent of a pint of beer a week - sometimes 2! And if I'm going to someone's house or meeting people out-and-about then I can do 250ml vodka in the process.

I used to buy 6 scratchcards for my weekend breakfast at a cafe but gave that up about 9 years ago and haven't missed them one bit. Never won anything of substance.

Sometimes when people tell me what they spend on shit, I'm like "whaaaat??". But then my car just hemorrhaged 900 in December and I realise how much better off I'd be without needing to drive the fucking thing. It costs me 200 a month without having to pay for repairs. When I don't need it any more, I'm totally getting hooked on all the drugs.

Lisa Jesusandmarychain

Writing massively irrelevant loads of old bollocks on various threads could also be said to be one of my vices , too. It doesn't cost me owt, though.

Just need top get a nonces head in one now, like in Casino.

Used to have a bit of a habit back when I was a lorry driver. Between the dates of February 1977 and November 1980 I attacked and killed 13 women in the counties of west and south Yorkshire.

Golden E. Pump

I go out twice a week and spend between £30-50 a night. That's up to £400 a month on alcohol.

I say this from the perspective of staying in all weekend, not drinking a drop and realising I need to cut down. I'm not giving up alcohol altogether, just having at least one weekend a month where I don't go out and fuck myself up.
