silliness with cake...

[Fnaar]

So was that it? Just a game of draughts on some Battenburg I thought we were going to get some sordid details etc...

Yes, or perhaps a game of "Sponge Fingers", or "Who ate my brioche?"

Arch has already had this from me, but since there's now a thread for it:

Have fun!

Arch, you'll be needing to dispose of all that cake now you've finished your research. I volunteer to do said job for you (drool) at no expense (slobber) to you good self. I promise I won't leave (dribble) a crumb on your lovely carpet.

what kind of games can be played with a swiss roll?

Kiss and Tell perhaps?

Brilliant exposition of the food / game scenario Arch and Doc - lovely photos which are good enough to eat (which you probably definitely did) 10/10

Hide the swiss roll?

I have seen a Blue Peter-esque notion for an edible Dalek made of swiss rolls, icing and chocolate buttons. It didn't look so very realistic.
Bet it would taste OK though.

On the other hand, hoorah for kids' shoes that go up to size five, and are VAT exempt....

Lol - my Wife has the same problem when buying shoes... except she's only a size 2!!!

Excellent - loads to choose from in the kids section...
Bugger - yet another pair with a butterfly/flower/unicorn on the front/top in pink thread.

Guy at work is very short and schoolboyish in stature. We have a friendly dig at him, saying he buys his clothes in the kids' sections, and that his smart shoes have flashing LEDs on them.

He's cool about it.

I'd like a pair of those shoes with the flashing lights in, but they don't seem to come in size 10.

And those shoes with the rollers in, too. They'd be great for the long corridors we have at work.

No I want the ones with a compass in the heel, or a small car hidden in the heel compartment.....

......which reminds me, the last time we went through US customs they made a point of taking a picture of my son's shoe and showing the other customs officials because the shoe could have other purposes if you take the car out.

Sounds like the (possibly apocryphal) tale of the airline employee who was stopped from taking a metal fork onto a plane (it was in his lunchbox) in case he should attempt to assault the crew with it.
The chappie in question was part of the crew - specifically, the pilot...

Blimey. What size are your feet? Handy, though, to have a car always to hand... or to foot.

Ah. <Light dawns> A toy car?

 

[Amanda P]

How did we get here from cake anyway?

 

[TheDoctor]

Cake's the only thing that can prevent Arch-shaped stroppiness in shoe shops...
*hides*

Oi!

He's right though....

Anyway, I polished off the last of the battenberg with my sandwiches at lunchtime today I'm afraid...

Oooh, mind you, there are some chocolate buttons left...
