We had a nightmare NYE 2022. One of the best nearby Indian restaurants has it's own app for ordering takeaways. They sent a message out saying "please order well in advance as we expect to be busy". They weren't wrong. We put our order in at lunchtime for 8.30 delivery. No sign of any food by 9. Tried ringing, constantly engaged.We just plan ahead. Either not to drink and so collect or get a Chinese or Indian pack from the supermarket / M & S to heat up after a few drinks. You just get used to planning. I'm sure if I lived in a city, used delivery options and then came back to rural life I would be grumpier about it
9.30, still no sign. Went on their facebook page, to see loads of posts from folk whose delivery never turned up. 10pm, we gave up. Fortunately, the missus had cooked a chilli for the next day, so we had that.
It turned out that the app just accepted whatever orders were submitted, with no maximum threshold cut-off. The restaurant was completely swamped with orders and just could not cope.
Next day we (and lots of others) got a very apologetic phone call from the manager, and the offer of a free meal whenever we wanted one. He said it was was the most stressful (and expensive) night he had experienced in 20 years running his restaurant.

See all my bad experiences with deliveroo (2) where due to the actual restaurant mucking up
During COVID our Nandos was sent completely wrong ,but the order was correct on the bag so not drivers fault
This week restaurant missed one platter
At work we can't just leave so on nights and weekends take aways are frequent, if I'm on I organise them via deliveroo .. so much easier than using the restaurant themselves.. plus I'll find 4% vouchers.. which because our orders are £80 plus normally you get enough off to cover that service fee

what you do with an Alexa if it did not listen?

They probably have the same or a similar item to sell and want to see what yours goes for. I do it all the time, or they have multiple watches for the same or similar items.

Yesterday I went to our local sports centre for my cardiac exercise so I had this conversation at the reception
"Can you tell me how much it costs to play Pickleball please"
"£16 per hour"
"Does that include all the equipment"
"Yes, but we only have 2 bats, so if they're being used you won't have any"
"So I can book an hour, pay to park in your car park, but not be able to play it the bats are being used when we arrive, and I can't play as a 4 unless the other 2 already have bats"
" that's right"
" Best we give it a miss then"

Pairs comp on Saturday cancelled - replaced with a singles stableford.
But somehow they have also totally messed up the tee sheet and despite being in the pair comp, somehow I have been removed from the singles comp tee sheet.
Also everyones tee time zones have been totally messed up. (We enter 8-9am or 9-10am)
Comp sec's having a blinder....

Couldn't you boil a couple of eggs?

I could if we had eggs..
But we don't really have "stocked cupboards" due to having Gousto as our main source of food.
And - it was Saturday night!

Is that £3.99 delivery for every box?
Hi Uncle Venger
Does that make you one of the Venger boys?

Yeah I think its about that? Arrives every Sunday for us - covers tea across the week.
Annoyingly 3 years ago when we started delivery was free but as with everything in life, things end up costing more!
Class food though, love the variety of our meals and the quality of some of the recipes is amazing - the thai food especially.

We did this for a while. Then I just started collecting the recipe cards out of the box each week and now I just buy the ingredients and cook the dishes myself.
