Do you think they thought this one through?

Russia's energy giant Gazprom has signed a $2.5bn (£1.53bn) deal with Nigeria's state operated NNPC, to invest in a new joint venture.

The new firm, to be called Nigaz, is set to build refineries, pipelines and gas power stations in Nigeria.

A 'mobility' shop in Berkhamstead called 'Cane & Able'.
I know I've listed this in another thread, but it always makes me chuckle - firm of solicitors called 'Wright Hassall'.

Very Happy

My old gym used to use a cleaning company called GSM. When ever I saw their van parked outside I could never supress a chuckle, to me it said jism.

Probably just me then...

Righto...

I met a mate in town who was in the process of going self-employed, starting a cleaning company. He'd just got back from having his first 10,000 expensive business cards printed, and very proudly handed me one.

At first I thought he was joking. He had called his company by his initials, and followed by'Cleaning'

"Err, you do realise what it says, don't you, Adrian..?" I said, barely able to supress giggling like a girl.

"What? It says A.R.S. Cleaning...? What's up with that?"

Apparently, according to his missus, after I had pointed out how it could be read he went home in a right strop and threw 200 quids worth of business cards straight into the bin....

Very Happy

My company (Pro-Bel) recently merged with a company called Snell and Wilcox.

I was soo hoping the new company name would be Pro-cox or SnellBel or SnellyProcox, or ProQuox.

The new company is in fact called Snell which means that we've lost one of our major sources of office sniggering which is when the customer says to us:

"I think its a problem at the Pro-Bel end".
