The Seven Deadly Sins... - Page 4

Since indulgence in or culpability of any one of the Seven Deadly Sins can get you consigned to Hell for eternity,(in theory). And since I am a firm believer in the maxim that one might just as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb. I have signed up for all of them. My only dilemma now is...which one should I start with first?

you could always go in alphabetical order, but I think you should start on the more active ones...Lust, gluttony....and I know it isn't active in the real sense of the word....but sloth is a good one too.
Envy and Pride seem just a bit tame....now Wrath....that might also be interesting...but please A-B don't practice on me.

Ohh! As if I would, The very idea!

But thanks for the pointers. I think I might make a start with Gluttony. I've just peeled a huge pile of Maris Piper's and they are going in my Gran's brown dish with some onion, stock and best mince and the thickest, shortest pastry top you have ever seen. I have soaked my own mushy peas and with lots of red cabbage and Brown Sauce I shall have swelled to the size of Clayton by seven o'clock.

I'd suggest leaving Sloth till last or you'll never get started on the fun stuff..

Suprisingly Audrey Hepburn had terrible B.O.

Was it a sin, to tell you this?

If so, which one?

What time are you serving up A-B.......it sounds delicious.
Oh, forgot....gluttony is where you are starting...there won't be any left then?

I've just had Granny Acrylic on the phone, in tears.

Apparently Acrylic-bob stole that brown dish, after coveting it for years.

Not normally a sin but sometimes Honesty is not the best policy...

Didn't know about this, she "emanates" chic and class in a photo.

I personally prefer Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle - to keep my person smelling "nice".

Coveting a dish?
I suppose it's better than coveting....no I can't finish it....I am overcome by sloth.

Have just given myself an extra spray of eau de "toilet"-the secret to wearing a perfume is to layer it.

The No.5 is for night-time - Marilyn-style.

No, sometimes you have to employ little fiblets.........or you could just say 'Oy you, your deodorant has stopped working'......suppose there is a better way to deal with it....a la....'have you tried this lovely new perfume'...now that's diplomacy at work.

Margaret Pilkington · 18-11-2011, 18:04

hmmmm, are you encouraging the sin of lust? Or maybe exhibiting the sin of pride.

That's why it suprised me.

Her being the epitome of style, and elegance.

When I was running my tape round her lithesome frame, and my nose neared her underarm area, the stench was putrid.

She did have the tiniest waist though -you can't have everything!

(She had serious issues with food all her life after nearly dying of starvation during the war in Belgium -probably this led to the niffy smells..)

Lol, it honestly crossed my mind, if it had something to do with the war, and there not being much spare soap in Belgium, and the Netherlands.

Rank underarm or not, she was very charming.
