Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I definitely need a pick-me-up as 2021 seems too much like 2020 atm

I’m in. See if I can do better than last year. Was having a rough time at work back then so that was my excuse! Now I’m (sort of) retired, I should be able to have a lot more fun with this. Did Sharkie say it starts today or tomorrow?

The Baroness explained very thoroughly star on page 2 - but I'll repeat every few pages for a while and stick a description in the side bar.

It struck me that while Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians* it has become an secular occasion for a season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all. The sap is rising, the birdies singing, acid green trees, blackthorn blossom, lickle lambs prnacing in the feilds

Alright Sharks we get the picture. That's enough.

* other faiths have similar times of year.

This year I am highly committed to NOT giving anything else up voluntarily. Enough has been taken away already by the sodding virus and the attempts to control it.

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
