Spotted this on the Olympic site the other week…

Granted there were a couple of letters obscured

Frost Auto Restoration Technique!

We were at a wedding once where Penetration Disco was providing the evening entertainment.

When I was a trainee lawyer, we had to constantly form “shell” companies for a particular client (a **** big one too), which was continually restructuring. We’d have to pick temporary names ourselves, until such times as we got round to changing them to something more appropriate for the client when they were adopted. The aim was to see how far we could push it without getting caught.

There were a few good ones, but I can’t put them up here, a simple CH search would reveal them 🙁

It was all just word play stuff, nothing too outrageous, but still, that’s about as interesting as the law ever got for me!

Here’s a good logo:

A few interesting ones I spotted in Ulaan Baatar

A SEAT dealership in Madrid called FLICK.

Did the Leamington 10k and have a tshirt with the sponsor on, a local solicitor’s by the name “Wright Hassal”.

Roman Showers

Not a company name but there was a hotel in Benidorm old town called ‘Hotel Colon’ Shithole apparently.

How about… Pen Island!

There’s a Lovely Mattress Co. and Happy Welder Co. in Tapei

Taken outside a bikeshop in Cordoba, Spain… *Snigger*

That’s “Hotel Columbus” (as in Christopher) in Spanish. I always find the “Ars” cafe in Madrid airport amusing.

It’s a great service, but I always read it wrong when I see the van….

(sorry chap, if you’re reading this…. )

*You’re* sorry? Imagine how annoyed *he* is, having to field questions about bikes all day long.

In a similar vein there’s http://www.therapistfinder.com

Closer to home, I always wondered if http://www.hollandspies.co.uk was a Dutch espionage site.

And here was me thinking it was a site dedicated to vest storage solutions!

I once worked for a firm where we took over another that was called Letcher and Scorer.

Surprisingly, despite promises made, their name was quietly dropped from the headed paper rather swiftly.

I always read this as something other than Topspot.

The link should be to a hairdresser in sandy, beds

Ooh, that made me think of Sandy Balls.

That’s “Hotel Columbus” (as in Christopher) in Spanish

It is funny though…

Somehow I think it is they who think the name is (now) unfortunate.

Wright Hassal

Well known PI firm. Everyone takes the p*** out of them for this.

There’s a very well respected US law firm by the name of Morrison Foerster, whose website is http://www.mofo.com.

Oh, and delicately named Coon cheese company of Australia.

not Sandy Utah then? https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=sandy&ie=UTF-8

That reminds me, would you use this lot for your insurance?

Also, another well regarded firm in “what were you thinking” shocker.

delicately named Coon cheese

Probably a contraction of “raccoon”.

In field archery, night-time competitions are known as “coon shoots”. It’s an Americanism and refers to hunting racoons.

Probably a contraction of “raccoon”.

Named after the founder, I think, some chap whose surname is Coon. Only in Australia.

ah, i forgot about this one.

My mate Pez with his favourite cheese in a chairlift somewhere in Mayerhofen in 2006 during a K2/Ride test trip. That was the only thing to bring a smile to our hungover heads that day.

I once got a letter from a solicitors by the name of Careless & Co…

Those native to Huddersfield/Skelmanthorpe may be aware of Shat Travel and Shat taxi’s?

Another Bristol one…

Beaver Maintenance. Always serves as a good reminder.

Leicester late 90’s

Edit, they’re still going!

There’s a motorbike dealership on the Isle of Wight called Dave Death. Always thought it was an inauspicious-sounding place to be buying an inherently dangerous mode of transport from

“Mum, I’ve saved up my paper round money, I’m 16, can I buy a moped?”

“Who from?”

“Dave Death”.

“That’ll be right!”
