some banks feeling threatened much???

I saw their billboard and thought it was a KiwiBank ad. As I read the 'spin' above all I thought of was KiwiBank.

We believe being a kiwi bank is more than having "kiwi" in your name.
Hi [Me]

If you've been wondering why we've been calling ourselves a Kiwi bank, it's simple. It's all about doing the right thing for customers like you, our team and the community we work in. Because we believe that's what every good bank should do.

* It's why we partner with St John and Starship to help a thousand Kiwis a day, young or old, when they need it most.
* It's why we're teaching Kiwi kids about money through School Banking and our GetWise financial literacy programme.
* It's why we set up our billion dollar Job Creation Fund to help businesses stay in business and keep Kiwis in jobs.
* It's why, this year alone, we'll invest $10 Million in the community we're part of.
* And it's why we keep our call centre right here in New Zealand, because no-one does customer service better than locals.

And that's why we believe we can call ourselves a Kiwi bank. But it's nothing new. In fact, we were the bank that invented community giving, over 150 years ago.

You can read more about it http://www.asb.co.nz/kiwi Or just pop into any branch and talk to our team - they love nothing more than a good conversation. Because that's what Kiwis do.

Best regards
Some marketing spaz

*gag* :vomit:

Is it not owned by a big Australian Bank? In which case I am sure any profits are still heading off out of NZ!

Screen on my 3 month old phone chucking a spazz

I'm sure the seller will sort it. It's just the hassle of having to getting across town to drop the phone off, sorting an interum replacement and collecting it after the technogeeks have fixed / pronouncing death & approving a new replacement

Meh, when suppliers give me the run around, Backorder a pair of bars..., wait 3 weeks..., call them again..., ask when's the shipment due....,
Oh, it came in last week, there weren't any of them in the order.

Doh! Not the ideal way to complete the Rage... and you probably put a bunch of training into it too!!

Time to do a mechanics workshop??

Nah, knew what I was doing but breaking the tool didn't help and we were so close to the start that the support guy's were not very far behind the last guy's. Was interesting riding with them tho, they do a great job for not much thanks. 1 poor bloke had to get choppered to Nelson with leg injuries so I "borrowed" his bike and rode with some of the tail enders on and off for a bit of encouragement and to keep them company. Met some cool people and it was a different experience.
But it still sucked :crazy:
