I have never knowingly narked off the Wench. I am many things but I'm not THAT daft.  eeek:


On the subject of cakes I made a lovely chilli chocolate cake a while back but 'accidentally' forgot to warn the greedy lardarse who would always help themselves to a triple portion first time around.....  whistle:
