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.
 
I've given up Oysters for lent.

^I gave up oysters last year.

I'm giving up white truffles this year.
 
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!).
 
TUESGAY WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME.
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.
 
I've already given up carbonated beverages. So now I am going to give up candy. Oh this is going to be hard :(.
