Found this in quarantine. Probably legit marketing about sheds, but kinda glad I couldn't see the picture.

Reminds me of a time (about 20 years ago now!) when Northampton Saints were having a new stand built, on the fans forum it was nicknamed "Uncle Keith's magnificent erection" after the then-chairman.

 

He obviously read the forum, as he did the unveiling he said something like "and now to officially open this magnificent erection..."

At first glance I thought this product was aimed at "working girls".

I saw this at a Harley dealership one time.  Was tempted to buy out the remaining stock.

Let's remove our tidy slatting and throw in a bunch of junk?

I'm not sure this counts enough to be included in the thread, but...

 

General Precautionary Phrases... WHAT?!

 

So, some phrases, that are precautionary, but just in general...?

 

Not WARNING.... Not STATEMENTS... Not SPECIFIC...

Comment on a classic car forum I follow:

I have had a similar high pitched squeal on my 1981 998 Pickup, turned out to be a failed front wheel bearing (original front drums), but the sound of it made me swear it was water pump, alternator or fan belt issue, apart from the fact the noise disappeared when stationary even with the engine running. Took a lot of head scratching before I found the dodgy wheel bearing, esp as there was no play in it at all. When i took the shaft out the balls just fell out on the floor.

Link: Great North Run medals show Sunderland instead of Newcastle - BBC News

 

 

Quote

Great North Run organisers have apologised after medals given to participants in this year's event featured the wrong city and river.

 

About 60,000 people completed the 13.1m (21km) half marathon on Sunday with each of them handed a medal incorporating an image of what was supposed to be an aerial view of Newcastle, Gateshead, South Shields and the River Tyne.

 

However, acknowledging the items actually showed nearby Sunderland and the River Wear which have no involvement in the event, the Great Run Company admitted it had "made a mistake".

 

In a humorous response, organisers said "Wear [sic] sorry!" and that "eagle-eyed" people had spotted the error, which also featured on clothing...
