This week's challenge is show us your (or anyone else's) vice or vices. I don't mean a mechanical device for firmly holding an object; no, this sort of vice is the reprehensible type. Some vices, of course, may be considered pleasures also. It's up to you. Once again, have fun with this :tup:

The Rules for the weekly competition are...

By entering you agree to take responsibility to
Post a topic on the Sunday following your declared win

I took a couple of possibles this afternoon:

and in exactly the same vein:

In the absence of class A, or even class Z drugs for that matter, I made do with a bottle of Jack.

I have another concept in my head, a real groaner; we'll see.

H and I are, more or less, on the same line. This is probably going to be my entry. My 'Bit of Rough.' He wasn't bothered about being photographed, but I would have loved a shot of an open necked denim shirt with a medallion and some chest hair. All very tasteful of course. Alas, I could not find the right sort of medallion.

Before I enter however, I want to ask if someone will do the poll for me, just in case 'he' wins, as I'll be away from the 3rd of October till the 10th.


My Bit of Rough.

Ooooooo reinardina! You stole my idea haha. Dave my long suffering hubby has become obsessive about exercise and now has an amazing washboard stomach. What a 6 pack!!!! Sadly he wont pose topless for me wearing ripped jeans with top button open. Sigh. Back to the drawing board.

Will be too busy today to attempt the groaner idea, so I'm in with one of my two earlier stabs at the subject:

My Bit of Rough, and my holiday.

Entered my shot, but as I'm away from the 3rd of October till the 10th, I'm hoping someone will do the honours for me, if, that is, you all fall for him like I did!   ;)

I can add that as my second vice!

But would it mean anything, if I told you it's Jim Jones, Colin Campbell or Simon Smith? Or all of them rolled into one?

Well I'm in with a little reflection; after all, vices are only vices upon reflection.  ;)

I now have to walk past a camera shop with my hands tied behind my back but it doesn't stop friends, neighbours and even fellow dog walkers giving me  old and sometimes vintage cameras. This is my latest acquisition, a Kodak vest pocket camera (circa 1931-37 ), given to me by one of the ladies that I often bump into while dog walking, who saw me with another of my vintage cameras and we got chatting. I have yet to put any film through it hopefully I will soon.

What I meant was, is he a friend, a relative, a stranger, a lover, a fighter, a neighbour........
