Flimsy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 If you had to give up one of these pleasures in life, for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Music - you would not be able to listen to any song or piece of music either through the media or live. You would not even be able to sing or perform music yourself. TV/Computer/Film - you would not be allowed to watch television or use any kind of computer system again. Visits to the cinema are also banned. This could mean you have to change job as well. Alcohol - quite simply you would not be allowed to drink anything with any alcohol content, even a lemonade shandy or chocolate liqueur. Sex - all sexual activity of any kind would be banned. You would not be allowed to watch or look at sexual activity either in real life or through pornography. In any case er... self satisfaction would also be forbidden. Football - you would be banned from watching or participating in football. You would not be able to read, hear or talk about the subject. As far as you would be concerned the game would no longer exist. For all of the above you would still retain memory i.e. you could hear music in your head, remember films and TV programmes, recall the taste of alcohol, think about sex and remember football you have experienced in the past.

Erik Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 TV / computers / film. TV i barely watch anyway unless theres footie on. Computers I detest with a passion (even though I work in IT). Film is something which I only find appealing when I have a bird. Given that i'm single, i dont find it very appealing at all just now. Music bevy sexy and football. What else could you ever need!

Boaby Ewing Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Probably football tbh. If it was TV on its own, I'd have said that, but it'd be pretty hard to live without computers in this day and age, and decent movies do mean a hell of a lot to me. Booze and sex are a given. Music... I could probably live without ever buying a new album etc. but to go through life with no music at all, in bars, clubs, or pretty much anywhere you go just sounds too horrific.

Sherlock Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Alcohol. Being without the bevvy wouldn't be that much a hardship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 TV / computers / film. TV i barely watch anyway unless theres footie on. Computers I detest with a passion (even though I work in IT). Says the man with two and a half thousand posts on this board Football for me. I rarely go to The Terrace these days and when I meet folk who only seem to be able to converse about football I try a little harder not to. Can't play any more so won't miss that (and I don't count kickabouts with my sons in the garden - though I struggle even with that.) Besides, there are other sports to fill the void; there are no substitutes for any of the others. That said - I did once go about 2 years without booze (aged 22-24). I'd manage that again if I had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It's close between music and football for me. I'll go for music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Says the man with two and a half thousand posts on this board Lol i think that theres a couple of different ways to look at the question. Which would be easiest for you to live without..... or...... the way that I looked at it, which would you most like to give up. My answer to each would be entirely different - but the thing i'd most like to be able to cope without would be TV / Computers / Films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do The Dance Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Impossible to give up any of those just now (and thankfully I don't have to - well unless the alcohol gets me!!). I chose music though, although I won't give it up so there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say What Again Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Over 50% of JKBers would give up alcohol. Incredible. A weekend of listening to the latest music over a latte then home to watch some subtitled French film followed by 'lovemaking' (missionary position of course). I'm speechless The bohemian Hearts support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoody_06 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 think this should have been made a public poll, to see who gave up what !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flimsy Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 I chose alcohol because these days I only drink occasionally and in moderation. On a serious note, I thought it would be interesting for people to think about what really makes them happy in life. On a more frivolous note, it's really just an update of the kind of debate we used to have in the primary school playground. 'If you really HAD to would you rather eat a jobbie OR kiss the headmaster on the lips'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It's a bit like "Would you kill a whale to save a panda?" There's follow up question which is just too wrong to post, feartie that I am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tynie Bubbles Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 i could give them all up tomorrow ... but only if you added breathing as a sixth option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
