We will be in touch
YOu sit down at a busy cafe and at the uncleared table, there is a plate with a slice of pristine chocolate cake, the owner of which has definitely left the building..... would you?
Pics?
Yes (but blame someones elses dog / children)
only if you like being drug raped
Waste not....
As long as it haddunt been hanging around for too long.
duh, free cake!
Can't do pics, it's all gone now... Feel a bit woozy but I think that's the sugar... 😉
I would, I have done.
Yum.

Gosh.
Free cake? You're not wrong I would!
It would be verging on criminal neglect not to, IMO
😀
People are starving in Africa.
How about if it had been a plate of chips and half a burger though?
I don't eat burgers.
But if you did... It's half a one remember.
make sure you know what rhohipnol tastes like beforehand though 😕
Ahah, the naysayers are coming out of the woodwork.
Rhipnol tastes different depending on whether you ingest it or have it IV. Both times I have had it have been IV and it tastes metallic.
Never had it any other way, but I would imagine it would be either tasteless in cake or make it slightly bitter.
Either way, I'd probably go for the cake, despite the black look from the missus, but I'd give the chips and half a burger a miss. Chips are bad for you.
Which half of the burger ? a) The top half with the ketchup or b) the bottom with the mayo, or c) has it been half eaten leaving both mayo and ketchup but a layer of stranger saliva along the halved edge of the burger ?
a & b yes
c no.
Half eaten vertically rather than horizontally.
Oh, and how to you 'taste' IV anything? Surely it bypasses the tasting facilities.
Vertical burger?
This can only end badly from here on in......
With or without lettuce leaves?

Jojo... I don't know, but you do. Horrible taste for about a second, then you pass out.
Not sure about cake...but I know I've had a glass of wine left on a table in a pub!!...after a few though! (I only know cos MrFC told me I did!!) 8)
Was in the pub near our office once, playing pool and having a quick drink one lunctime. When we arrived there was the remains of someone's lunch on a table near where we stood - a fair size portion of mash, some gravy and an apparently untouched sausage.
Member of staff came to clear it away. "Bit of a waste, that" she says. Making polite conversation I respond with "you could always reheat it!". 10 minutes later she came back with it... reheated... for me... Nice :-O
FC, I used to be a veteran minesweeper. Can't do it these days, for numerous reasons, one being I've virtually stopped drinking or going out.
[i] Can't do it these days, for numerous reasons, one being I've virtually stopped drinking or going out.[/i] 😯 8)
eat the cake.
Depends if anyone was watching, Im shy you see.. 😕
No.
🙄
I used to work in a cinema and would regularly hoover up any left-over pic n' mix and remains of tubs of maltesers/minstrels/m&m's. Given how much they cost, I couldn't believe how much some folk used to leave! Never got ill, although I think it contributed to the 6 fillings and one tooth removal I had at the time... So, yes, eat the cake 😀
empty cafe?
abandoned cake?
I'd pick it up and rub it all over my face then go and buy some charcoal briquettes from a nearby service station, why? because I CAN! OK! OK? OK! 0K! O K!
rude not to.
only if you like being drug raped
and sex too ? SORTED!! (Actually, Barnes is willin without drug assistance 🙂
I remeber sitting outside a pub once, having a couple with some mates. A bloke sitting on his own at the next table gets up and ****s off, leaving an untouched pint there. After about 15-20 mins, bloke hazzunt come back. So, one of me mates just takes it and starts drinking it. The bloke's not coming back now, surely.
At least 10 minutes later, the bloke comes back! Asks us if we saw what happened to the pint he'd left there. Me mate who'd snaffled it say's 'oh, I think one of the staff mustuv cleared it away', whilst holding the very same glass in his hand. Bloke strides off to have a moan at the staff. We saw him through the window, having a heated argument with the bar staff. He comes back out. Stands there about 5 yards away, glaring at us. Me mate raises the now nearly empty glass, and gives him a nod. The rest of us are by now struggling to keep it together. The bloke snorts, turns on his heel, and storms off. We collapse into fits of laughter.
One of the girls comes out, and me mate confesses he took the pint, as he thought ittud been abandoned. She just laughs, and says 'oh, don't worry about it, the bloke's an a-hole'.
Now, me mate woon't ever have tooken it, had he genuinely thought the bloke was coming back. After 15-20 mins, you'd assume he'd have buggered off, right? He took his top and bag with him, so we'd assumed he weren't coming back.
Question is, where TF had he been for nearly half an hour? In the bogs, trying to squeeze/knock one out? You don't leave a brand new pint and **** off for that length of time, and expect it to be there when you come back, surely?
Strange behaviour, that. Always puzzled us.
Someone had ordered a burger and chips once, paid for it, then left. Girl came out, asked who'd ordered it, no response. So, I said, jokingly, 'I'll have it, if no-one wants it'. 'Here you go then', she said, and put it down in front of me! Result!
me mate woon't ever have tooken it
'tooken' - there's an underused past participle :o)
as in, "I never tooked it, it were im"
Tsk..
'Taked' it, or 'takeded it', Barnes... 🙄
Get it right...
I wouldner...
You have much to learn, Young Barnes; much to learn...
to quote superhans, the secret ingredient is crime
The cake was very tasty, if anyone cares. I left the burger though 😆
Great thread. Best this week, IMO.
Only because I like cake, mind!
😉
You have much to learn, Young Barnes;
that's rich considering I'm nearly twice your age kiddo 🙂
To be frank, I thought there would be more people on here warning about the possiblities of all sorts of malicious things like razor blades embedded in it or various bodily fluids. I did think about that beforehadnd, but reasoned that in the grand scheme of things these kinds of people are relatively few and that the chances of them having 'doctored' this particular piece of cake outweighed my desire to scoff the thing.
I've noticed people have different attitudes to food that may have been touched by others. Neither my ex-wife nor my son will consider food handled by someone else, but I'm not fussed and my daughter would happily browse from the bin when she was small (so we had to be careful not to put sharp objects in it 🙂
I honestly think I would have eaten the cake, and ordered more cream for it too.
Burger? I have a big weakness for them TBH. I could see myself eating the whole lot and licking the plate afterwards in a food enduced haze. Free burger and cake? The best day ever!!
I want some cake now. 😀
I always want cake.
I always want cake.
and by the look of you, you often get it Peter :o)
I've got chocolate cake with ginger and molasses to go with my lunchtime coffee ...
I had some lovely home made coffee cake and butterfly buns last night. Nom nom nom.
Did I say I love cake? 🙂
butterfly buns
unnecessary cruelty IMO - it must take 1000 butterflies to make one bun 🙁
humm cake
Remind me of baking a browine tonight if I am bored
Yeah but it's the real butterflies that give them the extra light texture. It's their rightful destiny anyway. 😉
Oddly some drugs that are taken by IV do indeed cause a taste reaction, I know this to be true from experience.
From http://www.chemocare.com/managing/taste_changes.asp
* Taste changes are common during chemotherapy. The exact reason for taste changes is not clear, although it is thought that it is a result of the damage to the cells in the oral cavity, which are especially sensitive to chemotherapy.
* About 50% of patients getting chemotherapy experience taste changes.
* Drugs most commonly associated with taste changes include carboplatin, cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, dacarbazine, dactinomycin, doxorubicin, 5-fluorouracil, levamisole, mechlorethamine, methotrexate, paclitaxel, and vincristine.
* Most people report taste changes involving a lower threshold for bitter tastes and a higher threshold for sweet tastes.
* Some drugs also produce a metal taste during the actual intravenous infusion. These include nitrogen mustard, vincristine, cisplatin, and cyclophosphamide.
* In addition, the association between taste of food and chemotheraphy may lead to taste changes. Chemotherapy loss of sense of taste can occur purely from the association of an experience of nausea and vomiting with chemotherapy.
* Taste changes may occur during therapy and last for hours, days, weeks, or even months after chemotherapy.
* Taste changes are also common in people taking biologic therapies such as interleukin-2, and interferons. Most people report taste changes involving a decreased threshold for spicy foods, describing most food as bland, bitter, like chemicals or medicine. Both the cause and duration of taste changes associated with biologic therapy is unclear.
I always want cake.
and by the look of you, you often get it Peter :o)
LOL!!!!!!
Ha hahahhaha!
(Cackles with laughter)
I wasn't going to say it...
Hey, respect to anyone who completes the TransWales....
Cake is good.
I wasn't going to say it...
OTOH, PP was very generous at handing out choccy bars when he came riding with us 🙂
I'm suprised none of you know the rules to this game,
