Rod the Sod Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 You have to love it. During Lent you give up booze (if that is your thing) and at the end of Lent you booze away to your hearts content. Simple you would think, however not here, where you drink throughout Lent and then can't buy a drink when it ends. Champion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
