Waitangi Day 2000, a group of cohorts and myself gathered into the mighty Triumph and headed up to Palmy to see this concert, supported ably by Betchadupa, Fur Patrol and Stellar. And lo, it was way cool, sitting in the sun on a hot summers day, and continuing on into the night enjoying good music.
From this mornings Dom Post, a flyer for new Domino's pizza flavours:
Is it just me, or is Meat Pie (mince, gravy, onions, peas (!), tomato, topped with pastry and tomato sauce in case you were wondering), a really freaking weird pizza topping? Ewww. Not at all appetising. An Irish co-worker of mine commented that as a nation, NZ appears to be obsessed with the meat pie. I'm not sure what this implies.Also, isn't "Fetta" supposed to be spelt "Feta"?
Still, the spicy chicken looks nice, even if it was generally agreed by my colleagues that Domino's is the least preferred pizza option available. 'Hell' appears most requested, with the late 'Eagle Boys' (formerly 'Stallones', bought out and replaced by Pizza Hut) coming a close second. The spicy chicken has black olives, which you generally can't go wrong with.
Wondering if comment like this is unwittingly part of Domino's marketing strategy.....

Went to our regular Wednesday night quiz fix at Murphy's Law tonight. It's a tough competition when you can score 92 out of 110 and still only come third. Still, there were only three of us in the team, so that makes us smarter on a per member average.

Seem to be having trouble controlling and editing font size. Reminds me of post defrost Austin Powers: I'm having trouble controlling the volume of my voice.

The best pizza has *got* to be the Meditteranean Food Warehouse Pizza - constable street in Newtown. MMmmmm
I still like Hell, but I think it isn't as good as it was when it was just the one dine-in place on Salamanca Road. Though that may be delusional nostalgia on my part. I also don't like the way they've acquired Loaded-style advertising and profile (they've got some Loaded-free ads on Alt TV, but that may be Alt TV's doing)
Don't think Eagle Boys/Pizza Hut is any better than Dominos, unless this is a post-meat pie assessment...
