    Default The Last Temptation of Planet Skaro

    How good at you at resisting temptation, and what are your greatest temptations in life? And how often do you succumb?

    Si.

    It depends on mood doesn't it - when I'm happy with life I find it easy to avoid temptation to things I should avoid but if I'm a bit down then willpower is much weaker.

    This particular point in January is when I find my ability to be a self starter in my job very poor indeed. Being a "self employed employee" I need to get myself moving and I struggle - the temptation to be work shy is very powerful yet when I'm on full throttle I find it easy to get into work and make things happen. I guess it's the psychology of targets for year end and starting from zero business on 1 January.

    I guess therefore being lazy shying away from clients to discuss financial services in January when I should be contacting them is my current temptation.

    Having chocolate in the house is a temptation I find I have to fight to resist also!

    On the whole though my mood is generally optimistic throughout the year so I usually pull through all life's little negative temptations!

    My real big temptation is simply to be lazy. I think, in general, I'm not and I'm usually doing something but it's a constant struggle and an actual conscious effort.

    Bargains are tempting and I usually succumb.

    Sainsbury's Chunky Belgian Chocolate Chip Shortbread. I only discovered them last year, but am now absolutely addicted to them, and get through two packets a week right now. It's not good for the waistline, but dear god they're lovely.

    Also: Cigs (though hopefully I'll give the up soon), and tomato ketchup (which I never will!).

    Yep, I've got a few temptations, and sadly I usually succumb to them.

    I don't think I should go into any sordid detail, though.

    Oh my!

    Oh I'm always tempted. Cakes! I love cake. Bread- oh bread is just yummy and as Steve would n doubt tell you my favourite snack is a slice of bread- just bread, none of the butter or marg on it.

    I'm very good - take this diet I've been on for 3.5 months now. Didn't touch a single mince pie or chocolate the whole of christmas, only two glasses of booze in all that time too. Even turned down free food at work (where people must think I don't eat by now given that I rarely stop for lunch).

    On the other show me a piece of tiny shiny tech and my wife has to sit on me to stop me reaching for my wallet...

    Personally I think about Futurama where Bender says "I don't have an addictive personality", then smokes a cigar, and drinks a beer.

    I feel like Bender a lot of times!

    I can resist anything except posting comments on PS that are guaranteed to cause offence. Then I just delete them and pretend it never happened.

    That and ketamine; they're my two vices.

    Oh, and lying.

    Anthropomorphic would be the term I'd use, but that pretty much sums it up. Although note that's only one of many sordid temptations. And yep, bestiality itself is an absolute turn-off.

    And after you've gone and done it already, I suppose I might as well given in to temptation and post one a pic of my own that I had in mind on that matter... although I've no intention of posting anything quite as explicit as the one you posted.

    I believe that's known as a "furry".

    I came to post on this thread in all innocence; then I realised I had already written some silly drunken rubbish and forgotten about it. Diabolical.
