The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Which one is your weakness,are you brave enough to admit to it? Is it more than one?

Are Accywebbers typical sinners or not....


You can vote for more than one option as some, like me, may have more than one failing.

Mine are:
Gluttony -I love fine food and wine -would kill for oysters and champagne at times.
Lust - only virtual, i have a fertile imagination!
Sloth -leave things till the last minute , am lazy.

Link below for a description of the 7 sins.

The Seven Deadly Sins

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Wrath...for obvious reasons, didn't know you could vote for more than one when i did it

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Feel free to vote again -my fault for messing up the original post will see if neil can sort it -yet again!:)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Lust, and gluttony.

I'm glad to say.

:D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Gluttony yes, wrath sometimes.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

PRIDE - No, in case I fall.

AVARICE (GREED) - Nope, as you can't take it with you.

ENVY - No, consider it a waste of energy. Energy that could be better used to achieve what it is you admire, someone else has.

WRATH (ANGER) - No. Again it takes too much effort, and time, that could be used tackling what might irritate you.

LUST - Yes, great fun. Though not something you can have a great deal of control over. It makes the world go round, and is the reason we're all here.

GLUTTONY - Yup, if something gives me pleasure, I'll happily fill my boots.

SLOTH - No. I may test myself, by leaving things until the last minute, but I always do everything I want to do, to the best of my ability, and on time.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Can't be bothered to vote.

Sloth?

;)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

None of them.......now does anyone know where I can get this blooming Halo cut off?....it is crushing my brains :D.


Seriously though, I am human...so probably all of them at some time or another.
I think my worst sin is to have impure thoughts. And by this I do not mean the ones that involve carnal pursuits. I mean the ones where I think 'if he leaves that cupboard door open again, I am going to kill him'.
I'm sure I am not alone in this......and you can, I am sure think of ones of your own.
Mobertol, perhaps you would file this under Wrath, but to me it isn't in that category, because frequently it isn't 'heated - or angry'....it is just exasperation.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

so i'm in wi a load of baddies am i ? i'm perfect.

None of the above, I have a superb imagination and will always be tempted by original sin(s).

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Pride - no chance

Averise - no, quite happy with what I have

Envy - no, don't give a toss what anybody else has

Wrath - occasionally;)

Lust - the minds always willing the bodies always weak:D

Gluttony -not really these days, I used to drink more than my share of ale at one time:rolleyes:

Sloth - na. can't stand being late or leaving things for another day

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Great answer Less, sure you can be very original at times.

I identify totally with Margaret when she says

Can't be too bad though if you can put up with it and still smile.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I deal with it by allowing himself 10 faults per day........my design fault in this method is.....I lose count easily :)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

What number you upto now Margaret:D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Oh and having impure thoughts might be a sin, but they won't lock you up for it as long as you don't translate thoughts into actions! :D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Today we are up to number 4.......but it is only early yet
If he goes down to the bowling club then there are two hours of his day where he can't get into much trouble...well not with me anyway.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Makes it sound like horse of the year show... four faults for knocking over a fence...

Question... does he get his oats if he's been good? ;) (absolutely no need to answer!)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I will draw a veil over that answer. The method must have some merits, we have just clocked up 45 years of marriage......I think that is only because I feel I am too knackered to begin training another man...dogs are a lot more compliant. :)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I hace gathered from your posts that you are a feisty lady!;)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I know exactly what you mean -I have been the same all my life -watch out for the promised "up-rising" (see thread on Birth Order!) -enough is enough!
Not wrath actuall, for me it translates to Sloth -how do i get there -well for a quiet life, do nothing about it -let sleeping dogs lie. Time for revenge - woman bites dog!!:D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Never Let The Baddies Get You Down!!;):D

The oldest definition of "perfection", fairly precise and distinguishing the shades of the concept, goes back to Aristotle. In Book Delta of the Metaphysics, he distinguishes three meanings of the term, or rather three shades of one meaning, but in any case three different concepts. That is perfect:

1. which is complete — which contains all the requisite parts; OK

2. which is so good that nothing of the kind could be better; Maybe

3. which has attained its purpose; Possibly



'Fraid you're not the perfect 10 quite yet Cashy -not far off though -keep trying...:rolleyes::D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

:eek: Margaret's halo has just cracked!:D:eek::D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Thank God for that! It's only the blooming halo....for a second there I thought it was my spine.
Now, I'll get the halo made a bit bigger.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Obviously a Saintly lot Accywebbers -245 views and only 23 replies -

Puritans all....:rolleyes::eek:

Quite a few of them are mine too....

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I am ashamed to say that my 2 main sins have to be Gluttony and Sloth.

Gluttony - I love the finer things in life, good food and drink, great entertainment and experiences. If all of these things are provided by someone else and I do not have to seek them out for myself, then all the better.

Sloth - I just can't be arsed sometimes. I am happy to be apathetic sometimes in order to keep the peace, especially at work. I am often full of good intentions but lack motivation. In other words, my get up and go has got up and gone.:D

I am not perfect and being the Glutton that I am probably explains the Gallstones that I now have (although I am not overweight). I happen to like the fact that I am not perfect, I think it makes me more interesting.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Sorry to hear about the extra stones you're now luggin' about Lettie.

I'm a bit envious. Nay, jealous even.

I'll take 'em off you. x

:D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Oo dusti think tha kiddin,training another man, most women think like that. Just how much have you actually trained him, and how much of it is him being crafty mekin thi think tha winnin. :D:D:D
Does he sit up for biscuits like the dog.:D:D:D:D:D
By the way thas missd one off thi list Selfishness.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Ive got an old iron hoop of a barrel, is that big enough.:D:D:D:D:D
Retlaw.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Got little bits of all of 'em ... depends on what's happening in my life ... I like Sloth sometimes, and wouldn't mind having one of them as a pet.;) Just checked out the seven virtues ... kinda boring, particularly the fides, spes, caritas stuff ... I think that's Latin for "feed us peas and carrots":)

I wonder why there are only seven ... surely a creative species such as ours could have come up with another three, so that we could have a nice round number, ten ... like in the ten commandments.:alright:

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Oh dear Retlaw! I am not going to enter into a discussion about how I have trained him.
As for sitting up for biscuits...no, he just goes and helps himself to them:D

And if you knew me....I mean really knew me, you would know that I am the least selfish person you are likely to meet.
If I were as selfish as you think I am I would not spend time doing the things that I do for other people.
You have cut me to the quick.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I know what you mean Eric.I have this massive inferiority complex.

I keep thinking other people are as good as me.:hehetable

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

That reminded me of a time when we were having a discussion with the boss after he'd cocked up big time, after a heated exchange, my mate said Geoff if I had to call you a **** you'd sack me would you, yes I would was the reply, but if I had to think you were a **** you couldn't do anything about it could you, well know not really, well Geoff I think your a ****, I'll let you use your imagination as the the word which was used:D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

:eek: I never said tha wur selfish, I said thas missed one off thi list of deadly sins.
As thi mam probably said. tha wants puddin in a bag and shakin up.:D:D:D
Now dry thi eyes an uncut thi quick.:D:D:D

Retlaw

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

It wasn't my list of sins...and I don't need to dry my eyes.
Once something is cut, it stays that way until it heals...now, have you got any elastoplast or not?

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Use duct tape:D The handy man's secret weapon:alright:

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I use super glue when I cut myself, saves avin tu go tut meat factory, to get it stitched.
Retlaw.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

All of them - I can resist anything but temptation!

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I will bear that in mind the next time I want to shut someone up!

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

There are far more uses for duct tape than merely sealing someone's gob.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Lol, cheers Rindy, you are welcome to my stones. According to my scans, they are rather large. My gluttonous attitude means that I have been cultivating them for quite some time. When I have them out, I am wondering if they will polish up and make decent jewellery. I have promised my niece that she can have earrings...:eek:

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I had cufflinks made out of mine ... can't for the life of me figure where I put them:confused: (No, not in my shirt cuffs ... don't do shirts and ties any more; I'm into the dishevelled look;)) They don't polish well; but you could clearcoat them.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Good luck with the jewellery angle of your stones......when I was in theatre, I was washing a very nice handful that the lady said she was going to have made into a necklace....they crumbled into sand and went down the drain in Theatre 2.
I had to visit the lady on Ward 3 and tell her what had happened to her stones...and why she would not be wearing them around her rather ample neck.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Was there nothing else hanging about in theatre, which had been recently removed, you could have given her, to make her dreams come true?

:rolleyes::D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Oh God! No.....couldn't do that......eeeew, would you want to be walking round with something hanging round your neck that had grown in someone else's inside?
Anyway she didn't need anything to draw attention to her neck....that may sound very unkind, but it was true. You accentuate your best feature to draw attention away from your failings...don't you?

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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?

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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. :)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Suprisingly Audrey Hepburn had terrible B.O.

Was it a sin, to tell you this?

If so, which one?

:rolleyes:

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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?

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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

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

;):D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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.:D

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

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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

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

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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.

:eek::rolleyes::D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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..)

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

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.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Roman Holiday - favourite Audrey film - 'cos Gregory Peck was in it..I would have given up the crown though;):D

To keep on thread - that's Lust with a capital "L".

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I prefer her blind, and terrified.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

How about dressed as a Nun? Peter Finch looked pretty good with a sweat on...:eek:;):D

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

I like a good novice's tale, yes.

There's not many of her films I dislike.

She didn't sing a word in My Fair Lady. She tried, and it was dreadful.

I'm suprised M. Hubert de Givenchy didn't tell her she stank, when he was running up her frocks in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Didn't realise until today when talking to Charlotte about our shared lust for Jeremy Brett, that he is actually in My Fair Lady and sings! Don't suppose you could find it on You-tube for me - this is one i'd really like you to give me...final pressie -will ask for no more!

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins...
 

The character Freddy Eynsford-Hill was portrayed by the British actor Jeremy Brett. Although a singer in his own right, his singing voice for the film was dubbed by Bill Shirley, an American singer-actor.

Sorry.

All this take,take,take -begin to wonder if I am greedy -Avarice?

As another Freddy used to sing -"I want it all, I want it all, I want it all...and i want it now!" :D
