Sacrifices, diets and lent: oh my!
With Lent starting at midnight, it seems a lot of people are aiming to give up various treats, consumables or habits - religiously driven or not!
I do not pursue the Lent period with religious intent, but as a motivational exercise that ultimately ends in a great big warm cuddle of self-satisfaction  ... if completed!This year I think I'm going to 'give up' online social-networking; no facebook, no forums, no twitter!  I think this will be suprisingly difficult considering the vast number of interactions that take place across these sites, but I also think it will be really interesting to see how much of a timesink they really can be otherwise!

 I won't be giving up anything for Lent but good luck to those who are trying to stick to it.

Do bear in mind Lent doesn't include Sundays, so you can use social media once a week

 In that case, sorry, the torrents of spammy posts will continue - but once a week!

Have fun whilst you're away dude
Don't think there's anything I need to give up. Maybe farting?

I think we all remember what happened when Homer wasn't there to vent the gas from the nuclear reactor Desmo.

Cheers dude - I'll be so busy with commitments that I'm sure it'll fly by anyway!
Don't think of it as something you need to give up, but more of a luxury you could try to go without... Do you consider your farts a luxury? I'm sure Sinead doesn't!
