    There are 3 peices of Iced Madeira Cake (with chocolate bits on top) in the fridge, I can have one if I want. BUT I promised myself that today was going to be a NO CAKE DAY (obviously that was before I knew about the free cake). :rolleyes: So do I eat the cake and break my promise or abstain and feel like a saint? :confused: The Lounge: I need your decision! :-D

    Fridays cannot be No Cake Days. It is an unwritten rule. Monday - Thursdays, yes. But Fridays, No! Take the cake.

        Now that sounds like a good answer to these tricky questions they have in the crosswords magazines. You know, the one where you say "Oh How didn't I think of that" after discovering the answer is 1000x more trivial that all you had imagined so far.

          You have two honest options: - eat cake, BUT work out tonight to work it of. - do not eat cake, do not think about it, go back to fridge work.

            Eat all three pieces of cake, thus save others from the moral dilemma, and feel good about that.

              If you don't pay for it then it doesn't count.

                                  Use the same counting method as I would when I go out to the pub. The only slices of cake, or in my case beers, that you have to count are the ones you buy. You see, if it's free then it has no value and so it can't 'really' exist. There is no cake.

                                        in a nice way of course. I would eat the cake and then tell everyone how good it was. ;)

                                          Use the same counting method as I would when I go out to the pub. The only slices of cake, or in my case beers, that you have to count are the ones you buy. You see, if it's free then it has no value and so it can't 'really' exist. There is no cake.

                                          Exactly. The same with cigarettes, if you smoke someone else's then you are a non smoker still.

                                          Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
