    Their still doing their thing. You see the van knocking around the Finglas area a good bit.

    When I was an IT contractor I was contemplating setting up a Ltd company instead of paying a tax company. Would have liked to call the company RAM IT, sounds very ITish. Get to send an invoice to my old boss every month telling him subtly to ram it.

    When I lived in NZ there was a local off licence with a van on the road doing deliveries. Their company name was Beaver Liquor

    Not a company name but back in the UK I was a cadet. The VRT officer on the wing responsible for physical training was abbreviated to P-ED-O. One particular Flt. Lt. was know for being a bit of a character and said he was going to build up records of the best sports people on the wing and call it the pedo-file.

    Not sure the physical education officers are referred to by that abbreviation anymore.

    It's amazing how one of the greatest maritime disasters in history is used as a marketing tool up there, Titanic this Titanic that. The findings of the day layed partial blame on the shoddy workmanship conducted by H&W (sister ship Olympic found to be fitted with faulty rivets). It's not something Belfast should be proud of.
