The fact that they answered the phone with "G'day blue" didn't ring alarm bells?

The fact that it seems impossible to buy bread of the correct dimensions to ensure my toasted sandwich maker actually makes toasted sandwiches that (a) don’t leak and (b) get toasted.

I rang Farmlands last week.

The person answering the phone picked it up and just said “Yeah?”

The issue is more than adequately explained right at the start:

Speaking on Newstalk ZB’s Marcus Lush Nights

Next thing the Herald will be running stories based on what a drunk in a bar said. "Don't tell my mother I write for the Herald, she thinks I play the piano in a brothel".

i am in the middle of painting a 6 foot 30 metre long fence, i have 2-3 metres to go and i have run out of fence stain, the only problem is that the stain is only sold in 10 litre tubs. expensive last couple of metres, roughly $25 a metre to finish. Sigh.
