    I mean, Virgin Trains? I know trains couple and uncouple so they can't be virgin trains then. Do they lose their virginity if they go into a tunnel? And Eir? I don't know. What are they selling I give up.

    Virgin trains are a waste of time.
    They never go the whole way.

    Both in IT, as far as I know.

    If every hairdresser who named their place some sort of hair-based pun (Curl Up And Dye, Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow, etcetera) were closed down for crimes against humour, there wouldn't be many hairdressers left!

    Not a business name, but Virgin Media in the UK name all their vans with celebrity/character names that include a pun (not sure whether they have a fleet in Ireland or have continued the practice here but I used to work around the corner from a depot in the UK).

    Jean Claude Van Damme
    Van Morrisson
    Luther Van Dross
    Van Diesel (my favourite)
    Julie Vandrews
    Van Solo
    Obi Van Kenobi
    etc etc

    Yes, when using latex I find that active grunting is much better than passive grunting.

    I always have a giggle when I get into an elevator that is built by 'Schindler Lifts'. I can't help think about the movie with Liam Neeson in it about Oscar Schindler. I know I shouldn't laugh but i do.

    lol, I've got one of those from Switzerland. The driver got very annoyed when a whole crowd of scout and leaders started taking pictures of it. :)
