Thanks sweetie! It helps to offload! I've just had half a malt loaf with an inch of butter and feeling better already.  IP: Logged |

Wow, I learn something new every day, I actually thought they were a US thing that had been adopted by us.Malt loaf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Malt loaf is a common snack food in the United Kingdom. Soreen[1] is a popular brand, the name being derived from 'Sorensen' the name of the family that once ran the company and Aunt Ellen's is another brand. Both are produced in Manchester. Malt loaf has a sweet taste and a chewy texture like very heavy, soft bread. It is made from malt and often contains fruit such as raisins. Many eat it with a spread of butter, chocolate or cheese.
They are a tasty snack but never even thought of having it with cheese! I can see how this would work though. Bascially YFIS, I just ate about a gazillion calories. IP: Logged |

Maybe he needs reminding that he is addressing Miss WheelsofCheese, not one of his business associates. Mr Blue Moon sometimes does this kind of thing. Working in a high pressure environment with big money riding on getting things done on time, verbal aggression and impatient demanding is par for the course. He forgets himself every now and then, because it isn't a style that works when transfered out of that enviroment. If I get annoyed I will soon say. You know your boss and what approach is best to take. Maybe a quiet word, or perhaps like Mr BM, he quite secretly likes women who will call him out and say: don't speak like that to me, you w@nker. 'Cos that's what he will get from me.  Best nip it in the bud before you really lose it, and do something daft like walk out on your job or smack him one. I doubt it's personal. He just wants the job done. Even so, you shouldn't have to put up with unnecessary rudeness. Andy Murray is one set all in Dubai, btw.
