Decadence is.....

[MrBen]

....simple really. Sitting in The Great Exhibition with a beer. At 4pm on a Tuesday.

Eight hours sleep sometime would be really nice but one step at a time...

[steveo]

I was feeling slightly decadent in the Tulse Hill Hotel which is tres poncified these days

[StraferJack]

Is Jenny the landlady over in the THH?

Mr Ben. An afternoon pint is always good, kids or no

[MrBen]

The point is it's an afternoon pint on a weekday when everyone else is at work. You feel like you've won the pools.

[goosey-goosey]

Weekday afternoon pints? Divinely decadent, darling! As S Bowles would say. If she'd lived in East Dulwich rather than East Berlin.

[StraferJack]

To be fair Angie would be more likely to say she invented drinking. And pubs. And east everything.

[ernesto]

beer for breakfast is much underrated

[????]

I dunno I recall a decadent journey....

....We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive..." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?"

[maxxi]

Yes quids - that Isle of Wight ferry's a bastard.

[Salsaboy]

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Been there, done it. Had a blast!

[StraferJack]

Thumbs up for quids post

[uncleglen]

From The Boston Rag by Steely Dan- I was never brave enough to do his..."Lonnie swept the playroom, and he swallowed up all he found. It was 48 hours 'til Lonnie came around."

Chucking my disposable razor away after only 4 months of use

Not getting washed and dressed until late afternoon.

Smoking a joint and drinking first thing in the morning. Haven't done that for years, but it always led to an interesting day.

Hark at Sheryl Crow

..or that you're a borderline alcoholic

A couple of nights in a lovely hotel a half hour bus ride away.

That's gone over my head. Was it one of her lyrics?

[Otta]

Actually SJ, seeing you here has reminded me of a decadent night.

So, being sat at a bar completely wired, having not been to sleep when the pub opens on a Saturday.

God I miss my 20s.

"That's gone over my head. Was it one of her lyrics?"

yeah from The Big Hit - All I wanna do

"I like to get a good beer buzz early in the mornin' "

Don't worry Otta, once the kids have left home you can do it all again.

[Otta]

Yeah I'm not sure I want to. I miss it in theory, but think I'm probably blanking out the fact that I was miserable 80% of the time (when not off my tits).

Ah, okay. I don't mind a bit of Shezza, but ironic that that was her biggest hit. It's like Slash hating the intro to Sweet Child, which he will undoubtedly be best remembered for.
