a view through my own eyes

This afternoon I decided I needed a kip at around 3pm, so off I went and crashed out. When I wake up I found that several hours have passed (so much for forty winks) and that mrspao has returned from work and also decided that a kip is in order.

Regaining consciousness a short while ago we decide to order food in as we are lazy. So going for a gamble we decide to try Dominos. I know people who have used them and have been moderately impressed since you can do cool things like online ordering.

So at the website we start going through the hoops and notice “any pizza any size 9.99″ bargain! “just choose meal deals 9.99 offer” fine – we can manage that. Except that the offer is not listed. Trying a postcode for somewhere else in the country it seems that those of us in the Canterbury area are not eligible. Oh well.

Not to be deterred we try and order something anyway, at which point “An error has occurred, please try again”. So we do, same message with added “Would you like technical assistance?” – actually no – I suspect that it is your webserver that needs technical assistance.

So much for online ordering.

Due to the power of Google and Adam’s Canterbury Menus page I have an online menu and a phone number. Excellent.

“Dominoes Pizza – we are busy” – beep – hold music.

Charming.

Give it a couple of minutes and I try again.

At which point the girl clearly rushes through order, the address with such speed that I am not actually certain whether I have ordered a pizza or not and most importantly whether she understood the “no cheese” bit. Allegedly my “order will be delivered in thirtfortyminutes” – CLICK.

We will see. At least they don’t have my credit card details.

In the meantime there appear to be some sausage rolls in the fridge.

UPDATE:

Roughly 20 mins after I posted the above, dinner arrived all correct and accounted for. Best of all the offer that I could not get on their broken website had applied anyway. Result.
