Give up internet for Lent?

Yes, I saw that advertisement, and like the OP, was astounded to see, my fellow Corkonian, Derval O'Rourke, profess to the nation, that she was going to give up 'the internet' for lent. It reminded me of the time, in primary school, when the teacher went around to each individual student, enquiring, which one of our pre-pubescent vices we were willing to give up for (G)god?(don't want to offend anyone)

Anyhow, when it came to my turn, and being the individual that I am, I said "Cheese."

Now, let me tell you, at that time, I loved cheese. Therefore, in my mind, I was making an incredible sacrifice, one worthy of sainthood, but at the same time, was equally aware, that I preferred sweets.

Overnight, I became somewhat of a legend and the next day found my mother, inundated with phone calls from other boys' mothers, as they sought confirmation of my rather peculiar tastes.

My mother betrayed me of course.

Nevertheless, in relation to the original airing of the advertisement, did anyone else notice, that the only person who had his name printed at the bottom of the screen was, Danny O’Reilly, the Corona’s singer.

The advertisement has since changed, to include, all of the ‘personalities’ names at the bottom of our beloved screens.

I think if I was unemployed I could consider giving up the internet for 6 weeks. But c'mon, I have a job, be reasonable!

No way. I couldn't give up sex for six weeks.
