    Thanks for reminding me – Prague estate agent:

    I’m sure they’re very honest.

    This company must be really rad and gnarly.

    Vietnamese currency is dong.

    100 dong is about 3 British pence.

    There`s a manufacturer of sensors in St Albans with their company name SICK proudly emblazoned down the side of their office.

    My kids always point and giggle when they pass it.

    Probably the same sick as above, logo looks familiar, used to work with their lidars.

    There’s a scaffolders round here with “specialists in large erections” on their van…

    With regard to the OP (TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR or AsSTR) you might want to check out http://www.asstr.org (not 100% work safe!)

    I believe the correct url is assm.asstr.org which may go some way to explaining the content!!

    It’s a cultural difference. In the US “spaz” is slang for wild and crazy, rather than over here in the UK where it’s more usually accompanied with a belm.

    There’s been a few campaigners kicking off about it over here. The company is on record as saying something along the lines of, “if an actual user of our products complains, which they haven’t, then we’ll do something about it. If a focus group complains, they can do one.” Which was fair enough I thought.
