It's historically part of the Christian festival of lent. You're supposed to give things up for lent; the tradition of pancakes relates to using up all the ingredients that you'll no longer eat over lent. I take it you won't be partaking?

Ah. Its a stupid religious bit of bollox. But I will partake. I will give up sprouts. :roll:

You're not allowed to give up sprouts. it has to be one or more of the following: alcohol; chocolate; pies; sweets; puddings; biscuits; cakes. There are 1 or 2 other possibilities, but not sprouts.

Yes, tabs is another one.
I noticed for the first time last year that Lent is actually longer than 40 days...and then I discovered that only weekdays count, and that you're allowed to break your fast on Sundays. Another piece of useless information.

That's very useful information, especially if you're (or you're wife is) planning on giving something up for lent!

Oh for fooks sake..................isnt life too short for all this religious nonsense?

Tell ehr to have a word with herself................god wont fookin mind. :roll:

I knew that would get you! The religious angle is just a convenient reason. Mr Marx needs to give a few things up to stop him looking like Mr Dibbs!

But, life would be much longer if you gave up pies, cakes and alcohol. You'd have all that free time

Right after tomorrow, and we go top of the league, I will be giving up Pools for lent.

Maybe not, I'll try something easier, how about Alcohol.

Maybe not let me have another think about this.

katcha · **Posted:** Tue Feb 20, 2007 1:12 am

it's just another load of old bollocks - fook it - give up giving up - eat chocolate, crisps, smoke fags, get pissed, piss yourself, shit the bed, do drugs, be yourself it aint gonna change your life whatsoever - any fooker who is doing owt for lent can have my piles in an ommelette.

mugs

it's a cop out for all of the religious loons who have got any fookin willpower except for the lord - weekends dont count by the way some will say - welcome to the board and read darwin - not something written 1100 years after 'the event' happened - mmeeeeehhhh
