I have just given up being nice and gracious and tolerant with my ISP Virginmedia...they are about to get both barrels for such a poor service-- even though it might just be the box they provided. Dropping connection about 10 times a day is more than anyone can take.

So Lent starts on Wednesday and I wondered what you`re giving up this year? Added to the usual chocolate I will also give up crisps.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.

Had an interesting garage clearance find the other day and now looking at 20 to 25 year old boxes of unopened King Edward cigars 250 , plus about 200 other cigars and an unopened box of 200 John Player special cigarettes. I might give up being a non-smoker just to see what they are like after all those years!!

Giving up thinking bad things. Only positive thoughts from now on. Correct me if I fall by the wayside. Thanks

Well, you can all breath a sigh of relief now. Lent is over and I wonder how many are about to embark on a binge !
Were YOU successful ?
