Sooooooooo, it's Tuesday night and I am rather pissed again.
I know Tuesday night is our regular Lads Night (because all of my mates are married and Tuesday is the only day they can all get a pass from their respective wives) but I have enjoyed tonight more than normal. I really needed it and it is quite a shame that the evening had to end.
I am gently swaying from side to side and picking at the remains of a particularly large pizza I started eating earlier this evening. But there's a problem and I am just about to sound ungrateful:
I am a regular customer of the local Pizza Hut. So much so that when I phone them to order my take away all I need to say is "Hi, I should like to order a take away" and they are all "Hey, MRO, how are you? The usual?
So, today I phoned up for a medium deep-pan cheese feast with extra pepperoni and pineapple. My fave. They gave me, at no extra charge an upgrade to a large pizza and a free garlic bread covered in cheese. My gripe, however, is simple:
1)I live on my own so I have no one to share the large pizza with. Whereas I can manage a medium size one all to myself almost half of the large deep-pan pizza is going to waste because it is too much even for a gannet like me
2) I am allergic to garlic so there is no point in giving me garlic bread because I will only throw it in the bin as soon as I get home.
I don't wish to sound ungrateful because it is nice of them to think of me but how do I tactfully say "Please don't upgrade me and could I have free chicken wings instead of free garlic bread"?
Anyone want to finish it off for me?

Edit: I would have thought that a buying them a six pack with a note not dissimilar to the one in your journal might do the trick!
