Time for the Friday night game of how long is 1 hr in the world of Pizza Delivery, last time it was 2hr15. If all goes to plan I have pizza at my door in 25mins. Winner gets a slice (collection only) current time is 18:55 and I’ve had beer so if this doesn’t come then it’s going to get messy.

7pm? Where on Earth are you, Japan?

Ah, Canberra.

Tasmania, glad the STW tracking is spot on (imagines spooks like lab with lines all over a globe)

You do know why Cougar was groomed recruited for STW Towers don’t you?

I was only about 1 megametre out.

Might explain why your pizza delivery takes a while.

FFS won’t some one think of the children, just make you own..

TBH we have a different dilema, the local chinese will say 30-45min and turn up 10minutes later, really annoying 😉

go to shop, 10 mins, cook it 15 mins . . .

I paid £18 for my last takeaway pizza and it was very average (Pizza Hut), i’ve had just as good from the supermarket.

Probably stands more chance of pizza delivery in Tassie than Canberra!

Well, has it arrived yet? The suspenders are killing me.

loosen them off a bit cougar

Came in early a shocker

An unfortunate juxtaposition of phrases.

Don’t you have a local Pizza Express? Way nice than Pizza Hut and the crusts aren’t stuffed with dog turds either 😉

You’re not mikewsmith of Skipton origin, are you?!

local curry house always says 20mins, never been less than 40 tho. Collecting speeds things up a bit but not much, they say 20mins, so you turn up on time but I’m sure they actually start cooking your food when you walk through the door.

good food tho

Invariably, asking any local takeaway here how long delivery will take results in a one word answer of “halfanhourfortyminutes”. Actual delivery can be anywhere from ten minutes to two hours.

Then of course, you ring to chase after an hour and are told “he’s just round the corner, mate.”

No Alnwick, there might be more than one

More than one (I assume) ex-pat called Mike Smith who is into MTB and lives in Tassie?
A pretty good coincidence i’d say! 🙂

I got here a year ago so probably not me but I did once have chips in Skipton

Are you *sure*? 😛
Our Mike Smith also arrived about a year ago.

Hmmmm.

Sceptical Hippo is…. Sceptical.

*EDIT*: there’s some good chips to be had in Skipton!

where is your Mike Smith? (Tassie is a big place)

I think you’re bang to rights mate, with such an unusual name.

Now that I couldn’t tell you. I shall endeavour to find out!
I do know he drives a mk5 Golf GTI and likes Peugeot 205 GTIs.

Of course, all this information is *completely* relevant 🙂

It’s terrible when a serious thread gets derailed.

I’ll just look outside…

more of a transit driver here

Well it’s been a welcome distraction for me on a warm Friday afternoon – certainly beats work!

Ah, why get off your arse? 2 for 1 pizzas from Pizza Hut online too. It’s brilliant:
Lean across sofa, pick up iPad.
Find website, order pizza(s) (2 for 1 remember)
Sit and watch telly.
10mins later, door bell goes “Leave it there mate. Cheers”
When ready ease buttocks from sofa, walk (I know, it’s hard) to front door.
Now comes the difficult bit. bend over. Pick up pizza box(es).
Carry back to sofa.
Eat.
I love the 21st century.

Dez this thread has moved on now, we are into tracking down doppelgangers now

Right – let’s get to the bottom of this.

Mike: Do you sport much facial furniture?

(this is becoming more like a global game of Guess Who?)

Stonefly, Mt Buller (Stage 1 Bike Buller) by Mike Smith 79, on Flickr

Beg pardon.
How is Sarah Greene these days?

You’ve just ruined the game by posting a pic.

Boooooooooo.

Still, you actually look a little bit like Mike Smith 2!

were the yellow bars a give away, TBH the accusations of being from Yorkshire nearly made me flounce off

OH, our friend move to Tas a few years ago she’s called do you know her?

You think? 😉

Smudger – I take it you didn’t read *anything* else I had written? 😛

I accept that there might be other Mike Smiths in this world (shocking, no?), but Mike Smiths that are….

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiit a second! I’ll not bite 🙂

Tassie is a big place)

No it’s not. It’s a small island off the south coast of a big place 😆

It’s nearly as big as Scotland (64000Km2 vs 78000)

are we still awaiting the arrival of said pizza?

Mmmmm Sarah Greene……….

no that arrived ages ago, before we derailed into are you that Mike Smith, it was quite nice much better than any shop bought crap but not as good as my own, just a PITA to make Pizza’s when it’s just me in.
