I once mentioned to a couple of colleagues that it was my birthday the following day, but I was unlikely to be marking it in any way. My colleagues then informed me that I would be celebrating my birthday, and they were going to help. I ended up coming in an hour early after a half-day, so I could go to the pub with them at lunchtime.

We also used to get doughnuts or biscuits several times a week, because someone happened to be going shopping. Also there was one lad who used to buy bacon sarnies for the whole office most Fridays, because there was a cafe in one of the other units. And management used to pay for cakes every time anyone had a birthday.

This was the last job I liked - the one where I still keep in touch with the people. Strange thing about that place though, was that almost no-one liked chocolate o_O.

This is something that's confused me all my life - how do you not like chocolate? Chocolate - all chocolate, including the dark stuff - is chocolate, or in other words, good stuff.

I'd also make the same argument for pizza and pasta dishes. People are weird. :confused:

When I first met the Boyfriend, he didn't like pasta. Or jacket spuds!

He's seen the error of his ways since then, of course ...

Actually disliked, or did the whole 'permanently on a diet' thing?
