Whats everyone giving up for lent??? I'm giving up indian takeaways... i love them! Don't know if i'll survive;)

Absolutely nothing.
I don't need to give up something because of some old religious tradition.

tman · 25-02-2004 12:23PM

life is crap enough without its little pleasures.

Take up smoking again! I did!

Krusty_Clown · 25-02-2004 01:06PM

Giving up fags...

Not because of the religious roots associated with Lent, but just because it's a good 'givey-uppey' time.

My kids will be off sweets and chocolate too, which is no harm!

I am MAN · 25-02-2004 01:13PM

Does that mean it's OK if you eat them at the restaurant?

I'm giving up nothing. What did Jesus ever do for me?

Beruthiel · 25-02-2004 01:40PM

I'm giving up nothing

when I die, I intend to give up everything to make up for it...

His religion may be important to him. Or perhaps he watches too much TV and spends too much time on the net, a break from that sort of thing can be good for you once in awhile. Although, how long is lent? It might be a bit extreme.

You shouldnt be listening to other peoples conversations anyway, you fuggin stalker!

Barry Aldwell · 25-02-2004 01:56PM

I was going to give up listening to idiots prattling on about stuff they know nothing about for hours on end, but then I wouldn't be able to go to school.

AL][EN · 25-02-2004 02:03PM

I gave up beer last year for lent, and managed to do it too (even stayed off the drink for paddy's day too) but i wouldnt do that again. I like the odd beer every now and again helps me to relax and chill after a stressful day at work so i wont be doing that this year,

Instead of giving up something this year for lent im going to take an active interest more in religion. go to mass a bit more, pray a little bit more n stuff. i agree with most people here (even though im a practicing catholic) in that i dont see the reason why we have to give up something we like i know the reason behind lent but it seems old fashioned so im not going to give up anything this year that makes more sence to me.

Grom · 25-02-2004 02:09PM

user he probobly knew you from boards and thought wow and easy troll.

On a side note im giving up going to mass

Mossy Monk · 25-02-2004 02:15PM

Im afraid not, no meat only fish.

2 basic(small) meals and a square meal for the day.

"Don't eat pork, not even with a fork. CAN'T TOUCH THIS!"

"Marge, are we Jewish?"

"No"

"Wahoo!" *picks up whole pig and starts to eat it*

ahh! so i've had a small breakfast, small lunch so only 1 meal left?!!! Ahh I'm screwed!

MidnightQueen · 25-02-2004 03:30PM

Lent sucks for some people but not me!

I cant see da point in giving up something unless it was something u regret doin each day. Like smokin! I dont smoke, alot of my frends seem 2 enjoy it, but deep down i dont think they do!

Senor_Fudge · 25-02-2004 03:32PM
