Ah, cool. I'm going to that. We should meet and watch difficult music.

Linky 31st May - 3rd June. Looks 'good', as they say.

Oh, Islaja are playing, is T&B going to mention how he thinks they're awful like he seems to do all the time forever?

I think it's pokkeherrie who has a particular dislike for Islaja. I'm sure Toilet does as well but I fell the dislike is stronger in pokkeherrie.

Yep, we'll have to meet up for sure. I'm not 100% sure I'm going but I'm fairly certain I will.

despite my distate for all things live and finnish (not including circle) i'm going to see islaja and paavoharju because they're supporting tony conrad in london soon.

pho shizzle.

and there's one in new york that's not a pun, but it's equally awesome...burgers and cupcakes.

I saw a bakers called "Show us your Baps" once. Or something to that tune.

Wow, I was just thinking about this today and considering bumping my own topic but I don't have to because DADABASE has done so with THE BEST FIRST POST EVER.

In Ottawa we have a marijuana shop called "HIGH WAYS". I thought it was decent. I like the one on South Park that's the lesbian bar "Les Bos"

Seen the other day on the street:

Muslin - A shop that sells linen and is run by an Asian family.

There was another 'best first post ever' that I've totally forgotten and can't seem to figure out the search jobby thing chap. This is also the best first post ever though.

Thanks for bumping this. Saves me searching for it. I walked past a shop the other day, one that I pass all the time, and I just noticed it's punning name. It was a shop that sold knitting type stuff and it was called Crafty Sew and Sew. One of my favourites.

I can't remember if it was mentioned previously, and I can't remember where it was, but I've seen a place sold fireplaces and such that was called 'grate expectations'.

there was a shop in leeds called the gloryhole.

I might start an off-licence and call it "Amy's wine-house".

'Tequilla Mockingbird' Mexican Bar & Grill in Ocean City

the only other one of the top of my head is an horrible attempt at a pun for a place called "Javabyte" internet lounge and restaurant

there is another shop in leeds that does kfc, 'kirkstall fried chicken'. kirkstall is a godawful part of leeds.

my freind works at beer ritz.

Not a shop, but a cement mixer-cum-lorry whizzing down the street with 'Jim'll mix it' emblazoned down the side.

'Balti Towers'. Indian Restaurant.

fishcoteque (a fish and chips place by waterloo station)

My favorite record store in Austin is called 'End of an Ear'... which is apparently also the title of a Robert Wyatt record.
Not a bad name, I think.

It might not qualify as a shop pun as such, but there is a shop near where I live that seems eternally closed and it's called Paul Simon. Underneath the sign, there is another one that says Fabrizio. Since you can't tell what the shop might sell or might have sold, I have decided that Paul Simon and Fabrizio The Grooverider are still disputing on this matter.

i know of a couple that haven't been mentioned. a record store called vinyl resting place, a hairdresser called "blonde dye bleach" and a chip shop called the cod father

theres a sandwich/deli place in kilkenny city called BLAH BLAH BLAH.

a blah is a colloquealism for a floury bread roll

We will dye for you - a shop that on first glance looks like your average tailors, but seems to have a sideline in dying leather for you.

theres a coffe place outside of jerusalem called Coffee Anan

I can't remember if I mentioned it but there is a Codfather in Cardiff. And Pete's Plaice which is next door to Hel's Kitchen.

We have one here called that too.

In Baton Rouge, there's a frozen yogurt place called Counter Culture.

"Holy Sheet"

: /

My hometown has a place called "Phở You"

Shit! I just remembered one!

Best breakfast burritos in Austin Texas. G'darn I miss that place.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The Orange and Brew

A Gator (UF) themed bar in gainesville... our colors are orange and blue. don't go there much because the people there annoy me.


see for yourself, here's the bar:

Docklands Tyres and Exhausts

it's just that that logo sucks.
their fault.

I got one of those too.
