Could be worse - the could provide 'turnkey solutions'.

Please fk off over there and when you get there, fk off a bit more!

..and I'm in marketing! It's my life long aim to cut out all this bks.

The guy I bought my house off described it as a "turnkey house" as part of his negotiating shtick - that and settling on 199,999 made me wonder why he didn't just deed poll his name to "S. Alesman"

some are good, intel jingle for example.

Written by the band Edelweiss, and the Windows login sound was written by Brian Eno. Random crap you learn in pub quizzes

Sorry to go off topic, but Mike Oldfield sued over the intel jingle as it's the first four notes of Tubular Bells. He now gets the royalties IIRC.

From a quick Google, this appears not to be true.

I see these Bibby trucks around a lot. Bibby - Logistics without limits....

Err. What about limited by roads, driving hours/tacho, fuel load, disaffected agency drivers, H&S, RTA laws etc.

It's just bullst dreamt up by a retard in marketing on crack cocaine. It doesn't make me think: Professional or a company I want to use. It just makes me think: tts.

Or the sort of people who over-promise. Feel sorry for their drivers.

The gym in where I live just now:

Easyfit - Take it easy

For a start, it's in English, in Germany. And also, take it easy in the gym? Surely the one place you take it least easy? Morons

Not a slogan as such but I was following a lorry with one of those "How's my driving" stickers with a phone number on it. Got my girlfriends 11 year old to ring and when answered she told the operator that the lorry was nice and clean and the driver indicated well.

The operator thanked her and said she would pass the info on.

Doubt she did but it was funny at the time.

The miles must just fly by

From a quick Google, it appears you are right. It seems he claimed they'd nicked his tune but Intel deny it.
