You'd wonder why they bothered building the site in the first place. I just took a peek and I notice the address fields are Building and Street. Living in the sticks, I have neither in mine. Sneaky the way the size selection for pizza defaults to Large. The site seems to be a carbon copy of the UK one. That's fine if you adapt it to the Irish context - they didn't. Sugar ~ That was the intention. Sometimes, when the light is just right, you an only see the wire. Scary! Sam ~ Agreed. But only if they were piranhas. That remind me of a song: <i>When you swim in the creek / And an eel bites your cheek / That's a moray</i><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5399','Primal Sneeze'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> EM Esq. ~ Yep.

When they first announced the online ordering system, it spazzed out when you put in an obscure placename like "Dublin" or "Ireland". Now, several months on, I can find my address on the thing, and they rather helpfully direct me towards the store that delivers to my area - only to insist, once I've picked out what I want, that it doesn't actually deliver to my area. I feel I'm missing the logical leap here.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('5395','emordino'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I would also nominate dominos.ie for the awfulness award.
