    Notice I didn't have any when I dropped in - your coffee has a 'reputation' even down here!

    Ackshully...

    This one is true.

    After 20+ years working for bread companies, including the one that makes Natures Fresh, I can tell ya that they do indeed deliberately make an odd number of slices for that very reason. Always have.

    First best invention was sliced bread

    second was an odd number of slices.

    Given the statements by Maha and BuzzardNZ earleir, I would suspect the coffee is actually a sales method.

    Sleep deprivation, which in Maha's case occurred for 3 days, is a well known method of torture. BuzzardNZ, who was more immediately affected, ended up with a new bike after simply blacking out.

    totally agree, and what used to piss me off when we had 5 kids in the house goin through 3 loaves a day and the little buggers would throw the crusts away, now this was back in the day of $1.00 loaves from couplands (I refused to eat the crap), that was 6 slices a day, at 18 slices per loaf every three days they were throwing out a loaf of bread, thats ten loaves a month equaling $10.00 a month meaning they were throwing away 2 40ounce bottles of rum a year, used to really get me jocks in a twist

    Rode it 60km to Helensville, where I saw a piece of o-ring rubber on the asphalt where I parked. Matched the other o-rings, which some of had completely disappeared and a few very sticky links.
    Tentatively rode back and asked what was up. Free replacement, since I'd just been in the day before. Same thing happened, they inspected more closely and came to the conclusion that my rear sprocket was bent. So I got a cheap as shit heavy duty chain.
    Same thing happened, but this time after 300km.
    I paid $120 for ANOTHER D.I.D chain and decided to fit it myself. I'm ashame to say that upon fitting, I had to adjust the left tensioner a whole SEVEN turns to properly line up both sprockets correctly. SEVEN!!!

    Been using that same chain since 21 thou ago flawlessly. I chalked this up to sheer oversight, not saying it was forgivable, but shit happens.

    I'm sad to hear you had issues, but I'm a lot more conscious of management not trying to please the customer at all, it seems.

    Two sides to a story, I guess.


    So a) you didn't realise your rear sprocket was bent, and one or two mechanics didn't realise either!?!? Bloody norah!

    and what is wrong with that ?
