tompoland I think the Mitsubishi Pajero had a few difficulties as well (it means ‘w a n k e r’)

CoyoteOldMan - in Spanish speaking Latin America (e.g.: excluding Brazil) the aforementioned vehicle was renamed to Montero. I’m surprised marketing departments don’t think of the basics sometimes!
MediumRoastSteam I think they did that in Spain too…
DavecUK Somehow, it doesn’t sound quite as nice. Though I can assure you that caffé Segafredo got its fair amount of sniggers from us kids.
CoyoteOldMan - I bet they did! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was speaking from experience! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everytime I see these in European food stores makes me chuckle 🤭
Anyone want some salt liquorice flavoured spunk?
🤣 s.p.u.n.k is moderated 🤣
PortafilterProcrastinator I just downloaded a filter, clearly written by Barbara Castle 🏰
Car names have been fraught with problems for many years. Hence the popularity of numbers accompanied by a single letter and the Japanese preference for very silly meaningless names. “Bongo Friendee” for example, or the Toppo BJ…
It’s nice to see the amazing looking Ventus is still in the product line. No one ever seems to mention it on the forums that I patronise. Does it have “advanced” features to go with its unique appearance?
mathof2 No, it’s a basic dipper machine using a similar group to Londinium. It’s larger than it looks and direct plumb only.
Interesting to see your booth before and after. Its a lot of work, even just driving and setting up.

tompoland It was, left Naples about 1pm, Hotel at midnight to check in, away by 8pm to drive to Trieste and start setting up and unloading. The 2 ladies and the lad arrived by air at around 11am. It’s heavy work too. Most companies user contractors, but ACS are small and not rich, so we did it all ourselves. The days are long….what a holiday I choose!
