Giving, but not taking, ad-vice

My favourite vice has to be the big one my dad used to have fixed on a huge workbench. I crushed loads of inappropriate things in there when I was little. Plastic animals were the best, because they came out looking like they’d been in a terrible car accident, so I could then play with them in my animal hospital. As far as I know my dad never found out I did this. Probably just as well. I’m actually quite a nice person now.

Failing to keep red wine promises, although my wife would say "playing that bloody song too damn much!"

My favourite vice is going to the Sunday sessions at my local pub The Half Moon, which don’t end til around 2AM ... a vice I always regret when I have to get up at 5:30AM on Mondays for rowing practices! Though, as Samuel Johnson points out: "Music is the only sensual pleasure without vice" ... so maybe I can be forgiven... :P

My favourite vice used to be lust, but I’m now too old to remember what that is!

Hard times made a biker of me
Carried away on two spinning wheels
Behind me the city was fading away
The unknown horizon was calling
With a grin on my face, I said my goodbyes to my hometown

Chorus
So goodbye to the rat race
Now I feel alive
I’ll keep you in mind, but I’ll leave you behind
As I head for the road

We have a love, my motorbike and me
Of the winding road and open country
Of hillsides and moorlands and forests and fields
We ride ’til the sunlight goes down
Vowing to come back and enjoy this again and again

Chorus

After two hundred miles the wind turned around
And a tired biker now for her home was bound
The long day was over, I rode to my door
With an ache in my heart I came home
I put it away and vowed then to ride out the next day

Chorus

My favourite vice is manufactured by the Edel Machine Tool Company of Salzburg, Austria and contains SIRI voice activation technology. Every morning when I go into the workshop, it greets me.

My favourite vice is making lame jokes about how I like vices - as in adjustable mechanical clamps used for woodworking - as opposed to vices in the sense implied by the competition, which is the immoral or depraved, opposite of virtue sort of sense. I particularly like it even if the joke has been done several times before.

Before that it was smoking, but I gave that up.

Chocolate is my vice but I am currently denying myself for Lent so I am desperately needing something to distract myself!
