Have you given anything up for Lent? (totally following on from the pancake day topic seeing as they're related.. In the way that Jesus and the Easter Bunny are related. )

Personally, no. As I had no idea it was lent today until someone told me at work. By that time i'd had a fizzy drink, chocolate, crisps, bread.. All things that would've made sense.

Eggy Bread!

Makes sense, it's an unhealthy vice AND as I usually only have it on Sunday it means I can still have it as Lent doesn't include the Sabbath. It's a bit like that retarded Ram-A-Dam fasting nonsense where you're supposedly not allowed to eat for a month, but as sun as the sun sets you can PIG OUT to your heart's content (well, not pig out, that WOULD send a dam rammer to hell!).

Nah I've done it before, 40 days is nothing. Plus next Wednesday is our final so no one will be going out :p

Yesterday, I heard Lent being described as "Kinda like Ramadan, but for pussies"

Obviously, I think religion is bollocks, and anyway, I've got bugger all in the way of willpower, so no.

Either cursing or porn :)wink:)

Nah it'll be cursing. To where someone will have to hit me in some sort of way (excluding the testicles) if I curse.

^Whenever people give up swearing, it always reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer gets a swear jar. He steps on a piece of wood with a nail in it and goes 'fiddle-dee-dee'.

Heh.
