They don’t, they eat pancakes before they give up something.

er.. I don’t think you’re going to get the Stasi kicking your door in if you decide you want to cook a pancake on any day except today.

I gave up giving up things for Lent for Lent one year. Managed to stick to it as well!

Cigarettes

again…

I am going to Munich in just over a week so I am going to acknowledge this special time of the year:

Lent might be a period of abstinence, but Bavarian monks decided centuries ago that drinking highly alcoholic beer helped their fasting.

Starkbierzeit has become such a fixture of Munich’s annual event calendar that locals refer to it as the year’s ‘fifth season.’ The supermarkets are stocked with the strong Doppelbock lager beer brewed only during this time.

The festival hearkens back to the fasting Paulaner monks who brewed the extra strong beer to sustain themselves between Shrove Tuesday and Easter. Today the beer is served only during Lent – but is now quaffed for less pious reasons.

Nah, life’s too short.

I might take up smoking for lent instead

As I do every year I will give up Easter Eggs 😀

for those of you ( and by this i mean most of you by the sounds of things) the catholic church this year has asked us to reconsider lent and instead of giving up something try to do something nice each day.. make some one smile, buy some one lunch, listen to someone with less than you.. so pucker up .. 🙂

Hookers and blow.

I think I’d rather be fat than miserable.

I haven’t had any pancakes and therefore I don’t have to give up anything.

I had pancakes followed by a Cadbury’s cream egg Easter egg and to top it all I will be giving up nowt, will the world implode.?

It depends. Was it a new and “improved” Creme Egg?

It was but to be truthful it’s been around a year since I last had one so I can’t really remember what the old ones tasted like.
