    Just The Edge in general. My parents know his father and told me his family actually call him The Edge when talking about him!

    Ahh here! :pac:


    Though his net worth financially speaking may have something to do with their calling him exactly whatever the hell he likes! The cynic in me says they know which side their bread is buttered :D

    Since I moved every take away has to call me to ask where I live, even if I specifically say the shop I live above. If I am lucky they will manage to find the place without me waiting outside.

    Due to my new address I am considered in the area for a different Dominos, got pizza from them twice. The last dominos would have the pizza at my door in 17 minutes and the online tracker was accurate. Now the online tracker doesnt get updated. The first time they didnt give the garlic sauce and the second time they added toppings I didnt order.

    Wait outside your door for your pizza? What's the point of that? The whole point of ordering in is so that you don't have to step outside, no?

    But if they can find you outside your house then they must be able to find your house and ring the bell???

    It's a bit easier to spot someone outside a house with a light on than to figure out house numbers somewhere you're not used to. Or worse, streets with house names.

    Er, if you've paid for a delivery then you've paid them to figure out where you live. Waiting outside your house waving a red flag just indulges their laziness. I don't work for delivery companies so I'm not prepared to stand outside my house. If people didn't stand outside their houses delivery people would have to become competent at finding houses all by themselves and that would lead to a better delivery service for everybody.

    I had a great day. A kind lady, who was ahead of me in a shop queue, let me go ahead as she had a several things, and I only had four. what a nice person. I did not meet one smelly fuucker or anyone who spit, pissed or vomited as I went about my daily business. I also found a tenner, I offered to the a charity at the checkout, but the nice man declined, he said already collected more than enough, but continue to pack the bags for free.

    GTFO :P

    The fact that everybody seems to be sick right now. Coughing and hacking and spraying. God's sake people will ye try to keep yourselves firing on all cylinders so that minor coughs and colds dont floor you? And if you do fall off your perch can you at least try not to spread your manky germs around? Gross :(

    Or say "we're pregnant" :mad:

    Be shot for this but the way newborns are not cute babies until after they recover from the birth. They're all covered in gick and that weird hair and dry skin. They are all exactly the same! Added to that the red, crinkled look - it's just not cool :) I often find myself wondering when I have a child, will I love it immediately or will I have to wait until it's ironed out and not so red anymore :P lol

    I'll put up with the "hassle" of putting on a light and standing outside so as to avoid cold food. I assume you're one of those people who doesn't tidy after themselves in a fast food place.

    That always made no sense to me either - I guess 'real German pizza' isn't as marketable of course, but... Dr. Oetker, Italian? You're no fooling anyone! :pac:

    I don't really like frozen pizzas to be honest, but they are actually very much on the better end of them if you ask me - and dirt cheap compared to most, too.
