judging by the fact we all post on a forum dedicated to buying obscene amounts of designer clothing its fair to say a fair few of us must suffer from addictive personalities. So aside from clothes whats everyone elses poison?
Personally I would say I am addicted and by that I mean I would struggle to go a day without -
black coffee - and not good coffee either freeze dried supermaket shit, 10 cups a day when im doing 12 hour shifts at work. smoking - 10-20 a day tried to cut down but made me feel suicidal. the internet - I cant seem to go 10 minutes with refreshing the guardian, offhand, facebook, twitter or bbc news at work.
I also used to place bets and play the roulette on william hill every day but for obvious reasons ive forced myself to stop that
1. Coffee and the fact i have to have out when out and about, works out roughly at £35p week spent on fucking coffee from shops etc. 2. Riding the bike - although doing 250 miles a week my appear to be a good thing, i am truly addicted to the endorphin and the rush. When not i'm cycling i am usually in pain where my body is trying to repair itself... "it doesn't get easier, you just get faster" 3. searching ebay for stuff i don't need. 4. refresh button on OH (good call Ry) 5. Spliffs - although i can do this in moderation, find it hard to wind down without one. 6. Getting pissed at least once at the weekend... probably a standard fare for most gents but still, can't help but get in a mad mood on friday or saturday night if there are no plans for a decent sup and some good convo. 7. spending money on jackets and footwear - no need for it anymore yet still continue to do so...
im with you on number 6, I dont feel like ive had a weekend if ive not been pissed at somepoint. Even if im not going out ill have a couple of cans or bottle of wine in the house. Dont really drink in the week though so wouldnt say im addicted to booze...yet
fags and stellai only ever drink coffee if im in a meeting at work therefore i need it to stay awake(hate the stuff too!) i am also quite bad at getting wound up when im driving, i can feel my blood pressure rising, it doesnt help that i drive at least a 1000 miles a week either and the refresh button on the internet, im scared incase i miss something
Never, ever, argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience
Records - feel like every time I go on line I spend an hour or two scanning through discogs etc looking for vinyl. Unlike clothes records seem like a small purchase so ten or twenty here and there doesn't seem to matter but it all ends up adding up. I keep telling myself that I'll have two weeks or a month where I don't buy anything but I'm really not sure it's going to happen anytime soon...
Tattoos, I need to stop thinking about what I want next. 3 years ago I hated them but within the last 2 years I love them and keep thinking what I want next.
I have a chest piece and a couple on my fingers, next step is my knees then back of my leg. I know I'll look stupid when I'm older but I can't help myself.
1 . G & T and Peroni - drink it every night . 2 . Chocolate - eat way too much of it , along with Chips , my diet is shocking . 3 . Clothes - spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much on clothing .
Looking in Charity shops for records. Internet - must be online through either phone or computer for most of the day. Most of the time I just end up reading pointless articles on Wikipedia.
I'd love to say sex......................but i'd be lying.
Always liked a few drink or two but of late i'm making a conscious decision to cut out all alcohol during the weekdays. Currently hitting the gym 3 times a week and i feel loads better for it.
My biggest vice atm is artwork, spent a few quid on them of late, keeps me occupied till the A/W gear hits the shop.
between me you and gatepost, mersons bookie is addicted to crack cocaine, the twang and having a dominatrix stub ciggies out on his chest. Sorry to publise your problems mate but think of this as an intervention....

I think i must spend an average of 3 hours a day on wikipedia and imdb just reading random things. I am very good at pub quizes......
I always find that when it's really late (2 or 3) that I just watch random documentaries for a few hours. I feel horrible due to lack of sleep but they just keep calling me.

hopefully now it's out in the open I can rely on my friends to help me beat these demons,
Can we start with The Twang first? Murdering them seems to be the only option
For all the Wikipedia time wasters, here are lots of good links for you, I got it off of another forum I was on, killed so much time with these it's great, some are not work safe but most are fine:
I read up on pointless things too, although some of the stuff interests me such as wars, serial killers (gents beware, i've learnt a few things), famous people, clothing brands etc. I have OCD, so that doesn't really help me in certain aspects of my life. I drink a lot of tea, can't start the morning without a cup, and always have three or four throughout the day. Music, can't not listen to it when I'm at work, just do it for three hours straight, especially Drum and Bass. Can't go a day without checking the transfer gossip on the LCFC forums, if I don't know whats happening then I go nuts. When I'm tired, and I know I have to be up early, I very rarely just go bed early, I normally just stay up late and deprive myself of sleep, silly I know. And lastly, football. If I don't go to watch Leicester for about two or three weeks I start to go insane, I hate the international breaks for this reason.
