[Misc] Judging company products by name alone.

You prefer your eggs melancholy...?

In all honesty, if we look at the poultry industry, and the history of human exploitation of chickens, SAD EGGS would be a more fitting name.

Solutions Inc was an amazing place that helped me on more than one occasion with Apple products. Much better atmosphere and customer service than the actual Apple shops. Plus, the place on OSR was way more convenient for me and saved me having to schelp into the centre of town!

Had my first proper job at Solutions Inc. back in 2003. .

I can't believe it's not been mentioned yet, Apple! I cannot stand the company. I have never and will never buy anything from them.

Edit. I realise this is not what the op meant but I hate them.

On a similar note because of the owners:
Dyson
Tesla
Ineos Grenadier.

I'd get cheesed off with this lot....

When Bozza calls you in for a ‘chat’ I’ll try to mitigate on your behalf but I’m not promising anything.

Either say you’ve been under a lot of stress just lately or claim your account has been hacked.

Good luck; for a first offence I reckon you’re probably looking at anything between 3 to 6 months ‘off’

Tbh, I am out of work and struggling with living in a cold country so you are not far off with the stress!

Perfect! I don’t want to get your hopes up but I can see you walking away from this one with just a final warning and a massive fine

And yet it makes some of the best cars on the market. I'd take numerous Skodas over their rivals from pretty much any car manufacturer.

Personal preferences an' all that.

I've definitely walked past pubs because the name makes it sound shit

Verbal manure was the name of a pub in Chicago. It certainly sounds like sh!t.


The phrase "verbal manure" is a metaphorical expression for nonsensical or worthless speech. Several sources use the phrase to describe meaningless or excessive talk. One LinkedIn post uses it to describe "mostly garbage" management development terms.

The origin of the word "manure" relates to manual labor and cultivating land, but this doesn't directly explain "verbal manure" as a pub name.

A pub with this name may exist, but it is not widely known or documented. The name would likely be intended to be humorous, provocative, or to evoke a sense of down-to-earth realism.

if ever there should have been a ‘secret rebranding’ to coincide with the massive improvements in the quality of their cars this was it.
Just changing the pronunciation to Schhhkoda, just doesn’t cut it.

I won’t eat KFC. For two reasons;

The customer base is ghastly
The food is ghastly

I won’t buy Primark clothes. The working conditions are appalling.

I won’t bank with NatWest. They are thieves.

Kudos for the double-ghastly usage.

Skoda

So wrong!
I would rather have a Skoda than any Ford.
