    Coffins?

    EDIT - beaten to it.


    There's a Chinese in Munich called Wok and Roll.

    Like that one.

    There's one of those somewhere between Sligo and Galway (can't remember the name). Bustards is another name I like.

    I like the slogan of this sofa company.

    There used to be a chinese take-away across the road from the Central Mental Hospital, Dundrum. It was called The Great Wall.

    (For anyone that is unfamiliar with the hospital it is surrounded by an enormously high wall).




    Wasn't there a video shop in Gorey called..."Gorey Videos"?

    There was one with exactly the same name on St Anne's Road in Drumcondra here in Dublin. Gone now though.

    Also in Drumcondra, the chipper known as the Perki Chick.

    Anyone ever see any shop names that made them laugh?

    One that sticks in my mind is a lingerie shop i seen in the UK called "Thong in cheek"


    My local hairdressers' is called "Curl up and Dye". Always loved that.
    I also heard of a take away here in Belfast called "For Cod and Ulster" but I have never seen it myself.

    I believe it is called the "Good Fry-day Agreement". Had a menu from that place but don't know where it is now.

    Edit: Here's the menu online.
