Lent?

[Boris Bajic]

Pancakes tonight.... Then the hard bit.

In our family we go without one thing and start to do another.

Anyone doing anything cycling-related for Lent, or is it all a bit archaic now?

This year the thing I'm giving up is Cyclechat.

I think the thing I start doing might be connected with domestic cleaning... whatever that is.

Posted for remembrance. See you in several weeks.

Giving up alcohol. Never tried that before (other than the mid week abstinence). If I was going to start something useful ... it would be to be more organised ... can't see that happening somehow!!!

I shall, as every year, give up the booze during Lent. Except on Sundays, which are not part of Lent, when I shall only imbibe with a meal and then in severe moderation, or when to refuse to do so would be what St Francis of Assisi called 'a sin against hospitality'.

My intent in Lent is to commute to work by bicycle, come rain or shine, every day when I'm in the office and to try to ride a bike, even if only for 20 minutes, every day when I'm not. I'll start by cycling to Mass on Wednesday evening.

I'm giving up sex it will be very hard easy as I can't remember what it was all about in the first place

No more base jumping for me. I like a realistic target for lent.

I commenced abstinence last night, just as I went to bed.

Tonight I'm giving it up for Lent

I asked my daughter once what she was giving up for lent - after a whole millisecond's thought she replied "Lent"

Beetroot again, have done the same one for as long as I can remember and have always succeeded. All you need is willpower, self discipline and a hatred of the thing you are giving up, which in my case yep! you got it.

I'm giving up giving things up.

I'm giving up giving things up.

Which sounds fine in theory, but if you follow it through, you'll have to go back on it as soon as you declare it. It is simply not sustainable.

This state of flux will cause a rift at the core of your immortal soul and fry your brain in the searing oil of the time-space continuum.

I'm just saying...

I'm going to give up stapling raccoons to pub ceilings

I'm just wondering what my boss would say if i told him I was giving up work for Lent.

Or would he even notice

What would the pope do?

Resign?
