(joke note for non-UK readers - a ‘landing’ is the hallway at the top of the stairs. It’s a nice term, as it comes from the phrase ‘flight of stairs’, with the ‘landing’ being where you end the flight).
I never knew that was where “landing” originated.
The British are geniuses
Hmmm. Always use it as the mid-way platform where stairs extend or turn personally.
Pretty sure is says in the Magna Carta that if you’re British you’ll not allowed to say stuff like that, there’s a section on Deprecation Humour, just after the bit on a fair trial.
Canada gets the mix-album version of the English language, sort of ‘Now That’s What I Call English, Part II’, so I’ve found a lot of the terms sort of translate but quirkily different. If you said ‘jump to the pavement’ at an airport you can filter people in directions of where they came from. ![]()
Well you could count the two segments as separate flights and you can’t have two flights without a landing in the middle! Maybe we should call it a lay-over?
I read that and heard Basil Fawlty saying it at the same time. I about peed my pants laughing

I don’t know why the pineapple pizza/Italian thing cracks me up so much but i find it very very funny.
And tasty

Tell him!
One question and I won’t go on and on about it…
Have you actually ever tried it?
I have and I thoroughly believe it is an abomination before God. Truly the Dark One’s work. Ptooy!
IMO there are weirder things to put on pizza.
I don’t mind a Pizza Hawaii now and then. By far not my favourite though.

Concur!

I should probably have warned you before you moved here, but in Germany pineapple pizza ![]()
is perfectly acceptable for a LOT of people. In fact most Germans are probably unaware that it is a meme and that there are people who almost religiously oppose it.
You will hardly find any pizza guy who doesn’t sell it.
Same in the UK. Its very common as here as well. I quite like it as well but I prefer spicy stuff.
Side note. I have a bit of a “thing” for chilli, chilli sauce and growing and eating the hot stuff, not in a masculine “look at me” way, I just have a love and a high tolerance for it.
I have also turned tricking my wife into eating it into an absolute art form. She bought me some interesting looking carolina reaper sauce yesterday and I was intrigued as I have a couple of reaper plants growing at the moment and they look gnarly. Plus a 2nd attempt at Moruga scorpions which are just evil looking plants.
Anyway I cracked open the bottle and had a good gulp of it and it was more of a tomato garlic flavour rather than a HOT sauce. I immediately attempted to hoodwink the wife into eating it and absolutely nothing I could do would persuade her to eat it. Ironically, the first time she ever refused to eat it and it was one of the most mild ones I’ve ever had. I have an absolutely SAVAGE ghost chilli sauce which even I really struggle with and she had a go at that and it made her hiccup and cry.
I think she’s onto me.
