Hotel Cipriani Court Ruling

hotel cipriani The High Court ruled today that the Venice owners of the Hotel Cipriani had thought of the same name first so it was theirs. What a mess!

The West End diner has to think of a new name and is required to pay costs and damages, and also print the court’s decision on its menu!

Boot steps forward

There is so much more on company names.

Yet another name comes in all the way from Hong Kong, a footwear shop rejoicing in the name The Lee Kee Boot & Shoe Emporium.

Davies puts forward a case for polygamy

London School of Economics director Sir Howard Davies is confident to call a SWINE a swine.

In the latest issue of Management Today the former chief of the FSA sent this message on the struggling European economies, and us: “We cannot expect the PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) to fly while their prime focus is on deficit reduction.

“The UK is also an honorary PIG, without the sunshine and cheap wine. It is not a good place to be. I’d rather be with a few wives among the crocodiles.”

Wives? Crocodiles? I think he was referring to a line earlier in his article about President Zuma and South Africa.

Newcastle Stadium by Another Name

Sandy Hutchens reports that Newcastle fans reacted with scorn Thursday after it emerged that the club’s St. James’ Park stadium is to be rebranded with the name of a dotcom sponsor.

The Magpies’ home is to be renamed as sportsdirect.com@St James’ Park until the end of this season, to plug the sportswear firm of controversial club owner Mike Ashley.

Some 16,000 people have signed an online petition protesting at the name change, while local MP David Clelland has tabled a parliamentary motion urging the club’s owners to reconsider.

“The idea of turning the history of St James’ Park into something that resembles an email address absolutely beggars belief,” said Mark Jensen, editor of The Mag fanzine, which described the move as “cheap and nasty.”

Club managing director Derek Llambias admitted the name change had been badly handled.

“We could have worded it better,” he told BBC radio, while defending the decision which could see the stadium changed to another name if an outside sponsor is found.

“If it brings in a good chunk of money to the club that goes straight to the team, it’s a revenue that we should look at,” he said.

“Newcastle United’s history is just incredible … people have to look at maximising their revenues. That’s one part of a stadium that you can use that is under-utilised.”
