veronica 2 Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I think we had this last year, but I just wanted to ask as there are lots of new people. Anyone here lower themselves to give "giri choco" on 14th Feb? I am actually being TOLD TO by some colleagues but I just refuse, it's pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites

cheeseman 1 Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 I think that cheese would make a better gift than chocolate on Valentines Day. Not only is is more delicious than chocolate, but it is more nutritious too. And fun for all! Link to post Share on other sites

Snowhaus 0 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 we don't bother with giri-choco at my office, but the office ladies have been at me for months to make more lamingtons (the last round was over a year ago). I'm up to my eyeballs in chocolate sauce and coconut as we speak. Valentines Lamingtons for all the office means I get into everyones good books Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 You should see my boss now. He thinks he's popular with the girls. In reality, they generally dislike him and he's a smelly, greasy-haired (or wigged as the case may well be), sukebe, tobacco-smelling, very unattractive ojisan. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I thought with my sexy avatar, I'd be getting tons of choccy from the gals on this here forum - but zilch so far. Come on girls? Lost in the post? " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> Link to post Share on other sites
Snowhaus 0 Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Nagoid, Lamingtons are a popular Australian cake. Its a sponge cake covered in chocolate sauce and coconut. Sometimes people put cream and jam in the middle like a sandwich. I make mine with kahlua cream and strawberries. I brought in 5 big cakes for about 50 people, and am now the most popular person in the office. I guess its kind of like giri-choco, but I really like everyone in my office so it doesn't feel like giri to me... Besides, I've now scored some big brownie (lamington) points with the two most important people in the office - the boss and the lady who approves my travel expenses!
