There's a few places in Dublin that will make you chuckle....
- Wok on Inn (across from connolly station)
- Bachelors Wok (on Bachelors walk)

But that muffdivingclub as mentioned is really stupid. Like dont get me wrong, you laugh when you first hear it. But can you imagine running a business with that name?

Not a company name but a company slogan ********* Plumber '' Your sh1t is my bread and butter''

Always liked the Liverpudlian sense of humour. Everton FC have 2 official club merchandise stores. The first one is in their stadium, and that one's called Everton One. Right.

The other one is in the city, in the Liverpool One shopping centre. It's called Everton Two. Which gives it a postal address of Everton Two, Liverpool One...

Ah. IMO, that doesn't really work as you stress the first syllable of sofa ie. SO-fa. I'm thinking about this too much.

Anyone from Limerick will know about the rival stores - one guy set up a shop called Eureka and his rival ( were they brothers?) set up a shop nearby called Myreka....

I saw a Driving School car that had "L pass O" on the headboard thing. Hilarious.

That's in Dundalk and is a take on our "El Paso" reputation from the troubles.

We also have a Chinese takeaway in the village of Blackrock and it's name is the "Black Wok".

It doesn't exist outside of the internet, it's just some smartarse trying to me a few quid flogging t-shirts.

It's not actually a diving club, just a website that sells merchandise and "memberships."

It's actually a stroke of genius, comedians/tv shows used to pretend such a club existed in Muff as a cheap joke. Some enterprising folk decided they might as well make a few quid from it.
