Always trust Delia
Since I started my job in IT support, I've found myself becoming more and more...Manish. As the only girl in my team, I've found I can now hold my own in conversations abound porn, reflect on why Lewis Hamilton/Ronaldo/that hunky man in the perfume ad is an utter twat-head, and watch with apt attention as a rare specimen of woman wonders through the office.

Anyhoo.. I decided I needed to woman-the-f*ck-up, so randomly I made some super girly Nigella-esque cakes for the office - complete with pink icing and little silver balls for maximum clunge-clout.

I wanted to make them really fluffy so when I put the baking powder in I thought the more the better. Delia Smith said 1 tsp would be sufficient.. but I figured I would forsake the spoon and just shake a whole load in.. Baaaad idea.

Brought the really rather beautiful cakes in, and everybody stood in awed silence at the sheer beauty of my little flour (and butter and sugar) babies.. Until Neil the Tier 3 guy took a bite out of one and promptly spat in out, "Tastes like Megatrons bum".. Indeed after sampling the cakes for myself they did just taste like metal :-(

For that description alone you get a clicky.

This just begs the question
Has Neil been rimming Megatron or something?

Megatrons bum.
That is the single geekiest thing I have ever heard.

As you command, Megatron
I wonder just how sycophantic Soundwave could get? Gets a click, anyway.

there's nothing wrong with being a bit manly
i'm about as feminine as a checked shirt. i watch top gear, mythbusters and deadliest catch, i make fart jokes, i loathe and despise the colour pink, but i'm still a girl!

That gets teh clicks for the Megatron comment alone, and possibly for making a genuine man-mistake during food prep!
