What did you give up...


...for lent?

I didn't.  At all.  Although I dont think I've eaten any crisps or custard creams in the last 40 or so days, so I'll go with that.  And caviar.  I gave up caviar too.  And um, champagne.  And I've stopped drinking diesel.  And I haven't made a single daisy chain.  Not one.

I'm so pious.

I gave up drink (because I didnt really drink much before but had got back into the habit in London) and I might just stay off it!

Very commendable.  I commend you.

I've given up actively not smoking and now just don't smoke. I'm not really seeing any benefits.

(Why is the font in my original post different to the test of the thread?)

It's funny but although I enjoy xmas (for the exchanging pressies with folk you love) the rest of the religious festivals and customs don't appear on my radar.

Furthermore in the Catholic faith in particular I think the whole confess your sins and be instantly forgiven thing a bit of a cop out, -erm

perhaps I better just stop there before this becomes a rant, did anyone watch louis theroux ?

It's not quite as simple as that, dude.  You have to say that you're really sorry and, more importantly, mean it. If you don;t mean it, you don't get forgiven! Actually, it is quite simple, I take it back. (It's worth noting that although I was brought up as a Catholic, I don't actually buy into Catholocism or any other religious organisation. Religion is a man made thing, like spoons and fairy cakes. You don't see me worshipping them now, do you? I do, however believe in the Main Man, the Big Righteous Dude in the Sky etc, etc...)

Anyhow... to answer your question... No.

Only just!  What happened to the man who said 'I'm not going back to it'?
