Plus I'm very anti-social, don't like busy places and Pizza 'restaurants' are always rammed.

God, how humour can be lost sometimes, whereas I had a right giggle with Ali B on a similar issue yesterday (ref: Alcazar's Road Congestion thread)

Joz did express his rare hurt, and to tell you the truth, I still haven't a clue as to what exactly he was on about . I was hardly being serious with my jovial comments on a non-serious thread on pizza! I personally do not have any inclination, reason and time to 'keep' paying attention to the mods. I hardly complain about the moderation here, and if I occasionally do, they hear from me via an RTM, PM or in Policy section loud and clear. So, you need not take my comments on this thread as some kind of counter-victimisation victimising attack launched (again!) on the mods as a compulsory habit, because honestly, I'm not that type.

I think we need to lighten up a bit.

Pizza, anyone?

Okay, sorry Lisa, et al. (Although from a PERSONAL standpoint, that's the first time I've 'complained' about anything ).

The fact stuff like that is now automated makes it even more frustrating/annoying... "Computer says NO."

Totally agree, and I don't know what the problem is with peeps using caps/symbols.

Also, I wasn't trying to suggest there was anything wrong with complaining, of course there isn't. I was just merely pointing out this was not a nasty mod thing trying to interfere unnecessarily.

The only reason I multi quoted was because you both mentioned mods, I wasn't trying to imply either of you were regular complainers personally. But whether you guys notice or not, we are often blamed for stuff out of our control. It was more a general comment, so I hope I have cleared up that I wasn't 'having a go' at either of you.

Serious head off, back to pizzas.

Yep, I knew that's what you meant.


I'm fully aware that being a mod is a thankless task at times (can't do right for doing wrong, etc. -- as witnessed on many threads).

From that POV, you have my empathy.

A handful of mods couldn't possibly be responsible for that much bad luck....

Joz, I was hoping you'd get what I meant, and that no offence was meant by it.

To be exact, when on offer they go for £1.54. Need to look harder if you want a bargain.

The price is ridiculous from all the main outlets.When you think of the cost of the ingredients the mark-up is massive.Fortunatey we have a pub with a real wood fired pizza oven that you can order to take away.Thin,crispy & fresh base with real big lumps of fresh cheese & ham etc. & at half the price of the high street rubbish.

Best pizza I've ever had was a Calzone in Sorento - watched them make it and it was cooked in a traditional pizza oven and served with the most phenomenal local orange juice. Salivating thinking about it. Second best was an Italian restaurant on Malcolm X Blvd in Harlem - legend has it that members of the Ratpack used to eat there when in town and various gangsters would enjoy a slice or two. The walk back to our hotel was a bit hairy afterwards.

Pizza Express is on Deliveroo (as is Burger King lol). They do travel okay, TBH......But blimey is it expensive!

I do love their app's cool GPS/map tracking thing, though.

Pizza Express' Fiorentina isn't bad to be fair. I ordered one on a date with this posh bird when I was 18/19 and managed to drop egg down my best shirt. I didn't see her again.

lol

Can't beat uptight, posh bints.


- I remember my long-term ex used to order that one. With, as you say, the 'embedded' fried egg in the centre, and spinach and **** lol.

Annoyingly, they appear to have dropped their other classic, the Quattro Formaggi (Four Cheeses -- c/o The Two Ronnies. Or Audi. ).

Damn... I'm now sorely tempted to get the very same via Deliveroo.

Hmmm....

To echo Matt Damon, in SPR:
"Don't do it, Joz!...You're a young man!"
