Lent

[BrilloPad]

I am giving up cakes and chocolate.

Maybe I should give up alcohol instead (I am almost teetotal).

[OwlHoot]

OK its Shrove Tuesday tomorrow and Ash Wednesday on..well Wednesday!
Anyone giving anything up for Lent or doing something extra?

I'll be doing something extra on Plane Thursday, sticking a small notice on the plane tree outside my building saying "lost cat, answers to the name of tiddles" and using several 10" copper nails (thanks for the tip MM) to make doubly sure it stays up, the notice that is not the tree ..

Actually I'll give up the following

Cheese
Red Wine
Guiness
Liver
Kidney
Mashed Spuds
Monster Munch
Skips
Lychees

I think that will do to commemorate Jebus

Oh and smoking

I thought JC was a wine lover himself? Of all his miracles it was the water into wine trick that could have persuaded me to be a christian.

I'm giving up being a ****.

Good luck with that.

But you have to balance that with the old Healing Peter's Mother-in-law trick. Now that could really ruin your xmas.

That has 3 letters surely

I'm not Xian, so I am not partaking of worship of the imaginary sky wizard, as usual.

me neither but I'll make damn sure I have my fair share of pancakes and chocolate eggs

[Board Game Geek]

Hang on...I just read that Lent is not a Xian ceremony.

The irony being that all the Xians are actutally following a pagan festival that has no basis at all in their scripture.

Brilliant !
