Speaking of cons, take a look here
€50 euro for someone to make you a cv! :eek:

Got to love the way it says "I can do this and offer FREE advice and interview tips." then underneath my prices start from 50 euro. Like yeah you're going to give tips away for free.

Pro-Fit.
Nice for them.

The German lightbulb company Osram tried expanding into Poland before. Osram in Polish means "I shít all over". I think it's a slang term rather than a literal translation.

Shop on Liffey Street in Dublin
I thought there was something dodgy about their sale, it was going on for years

I was incorrect, the name of the store was Closing Down Sale or something similar to that

Like, you pay this person (a woman from the sounds of it) 50 euro. She types your cv up. Also doesnt seem to print any copies of it (no mention of printing)

for
50
euro :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

There is a flower shop here in Sligo called Guns N' Roses. Unfortunately they don't sell guns. Also, while not real El Banco Corrupto Grande in Vice City always gave me a laugh.

When my brother was in college he and a friend set up a mini events company that traded as 'Shit Waiters', which actually did pretty well for a small business.

I'm told that there's a shop somewhere down the country called "Bicycles, Lawnmowers and Chainsaws." I find it funny in a simplistic way.

Knobs & Knockers always gives me a chuckle every time I see it.

There's a company in Wexford called 'Kidd Lubricants.' :pac:

And a hairdressers that I see on my way to work is called 'Curl Up and Dye.' I think it's a great name!

Sunnyisland · 15-09-2011 09:06AM
