There is nothing wrong with pizza express, I'll defend their pizzas to anyone.

I believe his position can be summed up as
1) Such a regular customer that they email you to wish you a happy birthday

and

2) Prosecco

POW!

My retort can be based summed up as
1) customer database
2a) A good prosecco is actually a nice drink
2b) 'Free' booze.

Yeah, don't go there hungry though.

Don't get me wrong I don't mind a pizza express pizza at all...
...it's the parochial excitement at some nasty freebie at a slightly above average chain restaurant that is depressing. And on your birthday as well : (

There's an awesome little Italian place in Kensington I know
Go there. Their Barbera is far nicer than any prosecco that PE will give you.

Have you got a voucher code?

(PsychoChomp, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:44, Reply)

What?
No. Don't be ridiculous.
( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:44, Reply)

In that case I'm not bothered.

( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:48, Reply)

So rather than go to a really nice place
you'd rather go to Pizza Express because they do voucher codes? I don't understand.

Because Chompy

Yeah, my thinking is fucking retarded.
Rather than going to somewhere about an hour and 20 mins away and ~£30 travel for a full priced meal recommended by some french prick off the internet I'd rather go to somewhere I've been before within walking distance that's going to give me a free bottle of wine.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:55, Reply)

Well no, it's not retarded.
Just cheap and narrow-minded.

There's a exceptional chinese in central milton keynes
you should do the 3 hour round trip rather than go anywhere around you or you are narrow-minded.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:57, Reply)

You should be more wealthy, like Battered or Nakers.
What the fuck is wrong with you man?
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:58, Reply)

And I should waste my time on trains and tubes for a pizza.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:59, Reply)

I'm trying to suggest you go ad do something nice for your birthday
rather than going for a fucking pizza.
( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 13:00, Reply)

I don't consider a evening trip for a pizza in kensington "something nice"

(PsychoChomp, Wed 15 May 2013, 13:02, Reply)

Oh, well there's your problem, then.
I also said "Italian", not "pizza".
( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 13:03, Reply)

Kensington is fucking bent

The Italian's really good, though.
I don't understand why he's getting so cross at me suggesting something nice to do on his birthday.
( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 13:08, Reply)

No, you misunderstand, the "I'd rather go somewhere I've been before, a boring, but familiar chain restaurant"
is the narrow-minded bit. The three hour round trip comes under the "not retarded but kind of cheap" heading.
( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:59, Reply)

I'm really into experimental fucking pizza.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 15 May 2013, 13:00, Reply)

I said it was really nice and worth doing.
Not that it was experimental. You're just making stuff up to be annoyed by, now.
( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 13:01, Reply)

It's the presumption on the part of Pizza Express that I don't like.
It's his birthday, he's going to want to do something special.
( Kroney, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:39, Reply)

They are realistic enough to allow him 60 days to use it.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 15 May 2013, 12:41, Reply)

They are too small and too expensive.
My local spot does top quality thin-as-crepe Napoli style pizzas that are a good 14in across and they're about £7.

Plus: 'dough balls' are a bent idea

Also, I think it makes sense to get a voucher for PE - they are far too overpriced for what they are.
