Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

    What?

    :D
    Younger people are generally too busy drinking by the time the cake is cut. A few sambos and cocktail sausages does the job.

    Wedding cakes have tiers, the top tier was traditionally reserved by the hotel and the couple kept it for the christening of their first child. Nowadays the first child generally doesn't arrive within 40 weeks (or suspiciously less than 40) of the wedding, so the top tier has less significance.

    There might be a regional difference here though!

    Grannies maybe. The couple used to keep a tier of a traditional fruit cake when contraception wasn't used.

    To be used as the christening cake wasn't it ?

    For what I ask you, actually don't answer that :D

    A cake is a great barrier method of contraception! Haven't you heard??? :pac:

    I've been drinking so excuse the random and obscure meaning.

    Actually it's not really crazy. Thankfully I didn't have to look at Google maps to reach that conclusion. I don't think your lifting of covid restrictions opinion belongs here, but that's for others to decide.

    Has nothing to do with covid restrictions

    Yes that's right. Tiers held up on little sticks and the top one for the Christening. They were always fruit cake as well. Basically a Christmas cake. Back when I was a child and mam and dad would be going to weddings they would bring home a slice and they were always wrapped in thick linen napkins.

    I'll be happy with your cupcakes Leg :p

    Just dragging my arse outta bed, pretty much stayed there for the previous 24 hours. Guess my body was telling me something.

    Not sure if it was a dream or a real phone call, but I have recollections of the missus telling me that she broke the door handle off our truck. Have to wait until she wakes up to see if this is real :)

    Ah, the "joys" of coming back to work and finding over 200 new emails in your inbox. I was only gone a single day, for crying out loud! :eek:

    Sorry about that :D

    Feels like I was never gone, lots of new training to do :)

    Lunch side :)

    Wasn’t a dream, she did pull the door handle off our truck :):)

    Just spent the last 3 hours attending an online training course, it was identical to last year, same slides same blurb. Total waste of time :(

    That truck is causing you some grief. I would plead a faulty handle. Can't image how it would come off otherwise.
