    Lent (otherwise known as that fecking time of the year again)

    What's everybody giving up?

    It's the ol' fags for me... it'll be interesting to see how long i last... quite possibly until i wake up tomorrow morning......
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    As Ardal O' Hanlon once pointed out its, great being a Catholic sometimes - other religions, for example Muslims, have to fast from sun rise to sunset for the best part of two months, us Catholics? We decide that we'll have to forgo Crunchies
    Where am I now? I'm over here,
    I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
