"> > This just clicked - was this you and dems in the> CPT one day when I popped inThat was the one, we'd been to a party, then came back to the CPT and sat up with Candice all night and all morning. Think I did the hoovering before the pub opened. And I was probably pushing 30 by then.It wasn't a daily thing. But happened on occasion.I remember feeling a deep shame and self loathing when you walked in looking all awake and wanting to fill up your water flask or something.

???? Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 A bit sad that all of our examples of 'decadence' seemed to be linked with drink/drugs specifically around outside hours and locally...not very imaginative (or really that decadent).

MrBen Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 ...which sounds like sex to me.Are you saying that sex is inherently more decadent than drink/drugs?And what I meant was the luxury of simple pleasures...

numbers Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Loz if I'm honest, even the PROSPECT of a half decent cafe with good coffee and cute little pastries within walking distance would be sheer decadence from where I am sitting right now. As the wise Mr Ben says, simple pleasures and all that.

MrBen Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Indeed.
