The day when the religiously observant of the more orthodox branches of the Christian faith go to have ashes placed on their foreheads and a lot of the less religiously inclined decide it is time to give something up for lent, for the possible good of our souls or our waistlines. As we said on the blog recently, giving up chocolate for lent may not be altogether healthy. Giving up alcohol might also be a bridge too far given that we are not far into the Six Nations, and that great day on the drinkers calender, St Patricks Day, falls within the period. Sex could also be a problem given that we all know what a young mans, and often womens fancy turns to when the spring arrives and we all know that in the modern age, youth lasts until about seventy. So what can we usefully give up without causing too much physical or emotional distress ?.
Perhaps I could give up writing this blog for forty days but I suspect that some people would have something to say about that. Perhaps I will just restrict my abstinance to making no mention of Double Deckers for the Lenten period.
