Kent domestic services aka 'Javelin' from 2009 ...


Oh boy.. How do they discover these names. I know, in fact. A company
produces a list of up to 10,000 names (see Edsel at Wikipedia) and out
of all that detritis someone picks a name. Javelin. Because it travels
like an arrow straight to its intended destination at exactly the right
time. More like, Javelin, like a frozen streak of bat-**** like in that
Python sketch!


Don' see what the problem with the name Javeline is, it's certainly
better than 'Shot-put' or '200 metres hurdle'!


Wise words.
