And don't diss the cardi :o)<BR/><BR/>paul - Sandy was always quick to hone in on things like that :o) I used to work in a predominantly male environment years ago, but didn't discover a masculine side!<BR/><BR/>spiralskies - Absolutely. Can't go wrong with cake and cardis - unless you're a messy eater :o)<BR/><BR/>fiona - Chainsaws! You're so right. My husband likes talking tanks and axes as well.<BR/><BR/>lane - I put on a couple of pounds every time I read that recipe - even M&S won't have cardis in my size at this rate :o)<BR/><BR/>jj - Fridge cake, that's it! Far too easy to make for my health :o)<BR/><BR/>bfs - I have asked my husband about this and you're right. They NEVER discuss relationships. His best friend recently got divorced and didn't tell anyone 'til it was all over!!<BR/><BR/>anna - There are definitely worse places to work :o)<BR/><BR/>tam - Working with unpleasant morons is never a good thing. Try plying them with heart attack cake!<BR/><BR/>patp - They say truth is stranger than fiction, and it certainly seems that way sometimes!<BR/><BR/>fionnuala - Thank you - likewise :o) <BR/><BR/>alis - It should. My daughter made it and I could only cope with a small mouthful. I could feel my arteries protesting!<BR/><BR/>womagwriter - Ooh, that sounds like such a sensible idea! I might introduce that...<BR/><BR/>amanda - Well it's better than making people cry!<BR/><BR/>cait o'connor - Yes, there're always customers to talk to, which is nice. I have tried the cake and it's...dangerous :o)<BR/><BR/>mickmouse - Well as long as they don't get sacked for it, I suppose it's alright!<BR/><BR/>fpduck - Interesting stats.

The rest of us talk politics and general chat.
