Are you giving anything up for Lent?

[BrianW]

The most religious person I know says that Lent is superstition. But feel free to give up stuff if it makes you feel good.

But you can do that at any time of your choosing, why wait for lent?
Edit: seen your later replies re no religion so I will leave it alone.

For God’s sake

Ban-jani, are you including beer as a fizzy drink? And is it only potato crisps, or all crunchy snacks of that sort.

If your beer is fizzy you are drinking the wrong stuff, Bass Charrington cornered the market in the 70's but fortunately we moved on from that shite.

Cigarettes (already been stopped a month so not specifically for lent).

I am torn between daytime fasting and giving up sweet foods/drinks for lent itself.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Not a goddamn thing!


And by the way, one of the very best movies ever made.

Soft fizzy drinks only.

My Mrs is due in a few weeks so I’ve got two weeks left of the good stuff until I am taking 2 months off anyway, so just unhealthy soft fizzy drinks, as I’m not doing 3 months off booze.

Two points to start with:

no I am not trying to go head to head against @worsleyweb for shit threads, although I appreciate this is a contender.

let’s not have a religious discussion.

Now that’s out of the way, are you giving anything up for Lent or are you giving up anything just generally at the moment?

From Wednesday I am going for crisps and fizzy drinks.

I did consider booze but with us being in lockdown and it being so boring and the fact I am a few weeks away from not being able to drink as the Mrs is due soon, I sacked that idea off.

Will be giving up fizzy drinks and crisps from Wednesday to black Saturday April 3rd.

What’s in it for me?

 

[manimanc]

Yeah.
Lent.
