Lent

[HotDogAssassin]

Are you giving up anything for Lent?

I often give up one thing, but this year I've decided to give up crisps, chocolate AND alcohol.

 

[Val]

I give up something every year for lent, this year it should be drink again but having a stag night and wedding in March will require a rethink.

I hear Bomber is giving up posting threads about the Pope!

 

[Imurg]

I'm giving up playing shonky Golf......hopefully

 

[Farneyman]

Drink, chocolate, crisps and biscuits.

Done the same last year, for the first time in years, which included a drink free weekend at Machrihanish.

As a type 1 diabetic I should maintain this all year...but I don't!

I'm just after a feed of pancakes.

Religious nonsense, don't see the point of it myself

 

[Farneyman]

I'm not doing it for religious reasons.

Think I might give crisps and chocolate a bash although will keep a hold of the beer.

 

[Foxholer]

Same as every year for me:

Giving up giving things up for Lent!

I never said a thing about the old boy but we know what he has given up for lent.

I don't do lent anymore, lent one of my mates a driver and never got it back.
In fact come to think of it I might have lent big Val a fiver a long time ago....

 

[FairwayDodger]

Not for me..... I gave up chocolate, sweets and crisps back in November.... only beer left and I need at least one pleasure!

I'm also not doing it for religious reasons. What exactly was the benefit in that comment?

 

[El Bandito]

The benefit was probably nowt. It is however a forum which means people can air their views!

 

[Bigfoot]

With all the snow about, looks like I might have given up golf.

 

[GeneralStore]

Beer and red meat, do it every year

 

[Fader]

Well Booze is easy for me to give up as I don't really drink anyway.

So it's all forms of junk food, crisps, chocolate, and takeaways. Will cut out breads and starchy foods to.

I'm doing because a) i'm doing a lot of training for my gradings, and b) being from a catholic family we always do something for it.

the most extreme though was 2 years ago my brother gave up his wife for lent! he's never had so much spare cash as he does now!
