Be Excellent To Each Other

Whoa my goodness, yes!!

me an minikov might have to go

Plane crash mystery solved. Gay demons did it.

FFS the press.

Gay demons again? Bloody hell.

What paper is that you're reading?

The point at which that Mcdonald's text is cut off is rather amusing.

Kid on the bus, no more than five or six, repeatedly chanting "slit your throat with a five-pound note".

They're not even that sharp.

You don't get five pound notes from many cashpoints these days.

Sorry, that was possibly the dullest thing typed on here since JC and chinny left.

Today I withdrew fifty quid and it all came as fivers, fact fans!

It's how you know you're somewhere poor

University cashpoints have them still, and there's a random cash machine that gives out shiny crisp £5 notes in town. I can never remember which it is, but if I chance upon it I usually go back and withdraw some more because they are awesome.

I'm trying to think of how to justify ever buying Dominos pizza. I always save the fliers, but have never ordered one. They are just so awesomely bad for you and every time I have a piece it just makes my head pop with amaze.

"The kid is asleep, I want booze and fuck cooking" or "Fridays"

Our office ATM gives out fivers, dude.

I pay using PayPal, which feels like free,so it's easy to justify

Dominos is vile.

Oh my goodness. They were all right about you all along.

That doesn't feel like free to me as it comes from my 'make and buy stuff for the house' fund, which lives in Paypal.

Mr Kissyfur: tell me your thoughts on Pringles.

I order my food from Chef Russell.

He's right though, it seems like a really good idea when you're starving and your enjoy it to a degree at the time but you feel really awful after eating one. And I say that as someone who would habitually buy their pizzas when hungover for ages before realising how much they sucked. Pizza Hut are much nicer.

*nod*

Ours does fifties.

Its like Pringles. Its sort of satisfying at the time, but you feel disgusting afterwards.

Papa John's pizza's are also okay but as they seem to think that violent-yellow garlicky bile is acceptable dip they don't get rewarded with any of my money.

Yes, we're a tiny outfit that is staffed by unemployed poor people.

Fat Tony's pizza in Stroud is legen

And yet you actually have an office ATM. I work for an investment bank and we just need to settle for a coffee machine.

Yes! Nice pizzas, but what the fuck is that dip all about? I've tried all of the ones they offer and they are all atrocious.

On an unrelated note, I've just come out of this:

http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2013 ... 013-review

It was much funnier and less annoying than that makes it sound and well worth checking out if it ever runs near you.

That stuff is utter poison, but the buffalo dip is ace.

Oh Christ, don't do that. Paypal are fucking tossers for deciding your account has "malicious activity' and freezing it for six months. They're not a bank, legally, so they don't have to do the legal customer service stuff a bank does. Never keep money in Paypal.

I can't bring myself to buy anything from them now as all I can think of when I consider it is the horrible consistency and taste of that shite. It's genuinely mind boggling anyone would think it edible, never mind actually worth paying for.

You work in canary wharf. I can't remember the last time I used notes and coins there.

Am I the only person that doesn't like the herb mix Papa Johns covers everything in? It's a bit... floral. And the dip stuff is weird. I can't even figure out what it's supposed to be.

Around here, there's a number of choices for first-rate "posh" pizza (e.g. basilico) but they're all thin-crust stone-baked ingredients-in-Italian authentic things. If you want something with too much cheese and too much dough and six types of meat, there's a number of third- and second-rate indie places, or the second-rate chains (Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns.) There's a gap in the market there I think.

Lol, that website is one of the smuggest, most ridiculous things I've ever seen. I have no doubt their food is delicious but fucking hell, what twats they are.

Also, having recently switched back to Swype from something else I remember anew how irritating it is to have to teach a new keyboard how to fucking swear. Even 'hell' was a fight there. Fuck sake.

Fuck sake. Should have got a cab. Bus will not drop me in time for train. fuck buses.

40 fucking minute wait for cab

Got another cab. Talked about Beeching cuts and the role of mass transit systems

Are you supposed to use cutlery at Pizza Express, or can you just grab the slice and stuff it down your throat? I never know.

"Slightly less guilty"

It's very well tuned to appeal to their target market, i.e. the kind of people I live amongst. I don't know that they are twats so much as cunning businesspeople (see also: the guys who opened the cereal cafe in Shortditch.) The pizza really is good though, so I put up with it. It's not like I stop to read the website on the way to the online delivery ordering page anyway.

Also, to give them some tiny amount of credit - they genuinely do use good ingredients, it's not just puffery. Proper buffalo mozzarella, great imported prosciutto and salami, Iberian ham, and whatnot. The exact kind of stuff I buy to put on my homemade pizzas, basically.

You make a good point that there's nobody making good quality bad pizza.

There's also almost nowhere doing Chicago style pizza pie or cornbread crust pizza, both of which is a damned shame.

I shall mention this to some people and see if there is a reason.
