He had this old blue van and on the side of it he just had his sir name in huge white letters and his details on the back.

I was driving along the A14 the other day and saw a van in front of me that said Munters on the sides! I took a picture on my phone :) (with both hands on the steering wheel officer!)

There's a company around my way called "Sofa King". Although to be fair they stole the name - it's far from unique. However, they have huge billboards all over the place "Sofa King Cheap", "Sofa King Easy" etc. It's an old gag, but how they get away with it I don't know....

Doing a slight "Daily Annoyances" crossover, they are the idiots who failed to put my name on a package and it got lost in my work's mail department for days :)

Koch Amps website here - [url="http://www.koch-amps.com/"]http://www.koch-amps.com/[/url][/quote]

I always thought they could have some of the best advertising ever, simply by singling out famous players who DIDN'T use their amps.

"Dave Navarro...has no Koch."

"Kirk Hammet...has no Koch."

"Yngwie Malmsteen...has no Koch."

And so on, and so on...forever :)
