Decadence is.....

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

This just clicked - was this you and dems in the CPT one day when I popped in

Or just a daily thing?

Even before the kids came along I was done with the silly wasted evenings - they just weren't working for me and were a drain financially, physically and psychologically!

That 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.

[StraferJack]

It was baking hot outside and my mate was waiting for a bus back to Streatham - so we needed water badly

Where you were sat was far preferable

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).

...It's hardly naked girls carried in on a door covered in chocolate is it

[MrBen]

...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...

Why would you cover a door in chocolate?

[MrBen]

Each to their own Loz. As long as nobody gets hurt etc

...sitting alone in a quaint little cafe mid-afternoon* watching the world go by, having treated yourself to a good cup of coffee and a pastry, perhaps a new book (or two) to idly leaf through. Sheer decadence.

*has to be on a weekday.

Whoa. Steady on there, numbers. Two sugars in that coffee and wandering you're into full scale degeneracy.

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.

So basically - it's getting piss*d during working hours or staying up all night

oh, how Oscar Wilde must be on his feet applauding the richness and depth of our decadence

[ernesto]

seeing the kids off to school, then going back to bed, with kyle on in the background

Proper decadence would involve having no kids and quite a bit of money.

I can only afford decadence lite.

a.k.a. eating chips in the bath

[MrBen]

Indeed. I had an offline suggestion for this thread which was basically a hard hand shuffle to some bad porn when the missus is out, followed buy a hot bath and a bar of cadburys dairy milk
