7-11 2 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 What a fantastic name. I bet they got an eigo sensei to come in for consultations and he thought that would be a laugh. You sound like you're enjoying this Mr Wriggly. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Oh yes! Opens up the doors for lots of lewd humour, this one. I've got every sympathy for people trying to communicate in a foreign language and won't make fun of that, but naming or advertising your enterprise using a language you don't understand is just pretentious. It simply invites ridicule. Current favourites for the "J League" are the Camberwell Carrots. Link to post Share on other sites
