This is a game more aimed at the UK ( with our filthy humour!)
But anyone can join in: Bit naughty:1 point ( per my examples) dirty:2 points ( has to have a swear word in it - etc:bastard point, C.U.N.T creek....) does have to be a real place that can be googled!
I'll start:
Netherthong: place near to me
Upperthong: another place near to me!
Allcock and Brown: famous authors
3 points! Phnaar, phnaar!
( finbar saunders and his double entenrdres, for those who have never read VIZ)

Toff,
You must have a lot of time on your hands (like me). Just when i thought I could get away from the computer, you have to go and do this!
All right then, how about this. Sh*t creek.
Sh*t Creek is a well known location in County Clare, Ireland, a place which is a famous Atlantic surfing location. It is also an overused expression to display angst in uncertain situations. Or certain situations. Frankly, its one of the best d**n sayings ever - "Up sh*t Creek", sometimes "Up sh*t Creek without a Paddle".
2 point at least and I haven't even started.....
I don't know how this thread will progress, but just remember it was Toff's idea and not mine!
BTW I had to put in the asterisk to get it to post.

Okay.. 2 points, as Sh*t creek is valid. Well,so far,I still have 3 points,and I also have Huddersfield, which is blessed with 'naughty names'. For the offended amongst you I apologise, but double entendre's are a British thing, and once made VIZ great. If you cannot understand this simple premise, you are possibly a communist, or possibly an onanist, or even worse, some sort of 'ist...' no prize, beyond knowing you can use Google maps better than anyone else on this forum! Well done me, so far!  PS: Just for anyone taking me seriously: 5 beers and a sense of humour ( well, to me, anyway...) Play to win! |

Ah,
double entendre's, the backbone of English humour. Kenneth Williams was a master!
OK Toff, a couple more for you.
Nob End is the site of a former waste tip which is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Local Nature Reserve (LNR) near Little Lever and Kearsley, in Greater Manchester, England.
With seven miles of almost traffic-free cycling, the Crab and Winkle Way between Canterbury and Whitstable explores a delightful slice of east Kent, packed with history and nostalgia.
That puts me in the lead methinks?

While I am on a roll,
Upper thingyer is a small village north west of Eastbourne . It seems to have been created around the priory of Michelham .
Lower thingyer is a 0.12 hectare (0.23 acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in East Sussex, England. The site was notified in 1998 under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The site is a small, overgrown quarry approximately four kilometres north-west of Hailsham.
That is me on at least six points then.
Over to you Toff......

Toff, Have you stopped playing this game because I am too good for you?  (Ooh, now there was a challenge if ever there was one!) |

Thought I would join in with an American example. In South Eastern Utah, just West of a little town by the name of Hurricane Utah, sits a rather small mountain but with a rather prominent peak to it. Its name.... "Molly's Nipple"
A quick Google just sent me to a Wiki entry that states that there are in fact several geological points in that area that bear that name! Nice to know some of our early explorer folk had a sense of humor!

Perhaps Molly got around a little? Or her husband had been away for far too long? I'm surprised we don't have several places with shrubs known as "Molly's Bush" growing in them! (sorry, too randy for our family oriented forum?) |

(sorry, too randy for our family oriented forum?) Perhaps Molly had a really smooth landing strip? It seems that this is what lots of pilots look for. |

A true story:
In my home county of Hampshire there is a village called Upham, which is pronounced 'Uppem'.
Like most English villages in the good old days, Upham had its own 'village bobby', a policeman who lived with his wife in the Police House. He was 'the law' locally, dealing with most policing matters arising on his beat.
Village constables in Hampshire customarily answered the telephone with their surname and village - e.g., "Smith, Botley".
It was said that someone at Police Headquarters had a sense of humour, because the surnames of the village bobbies they posted to Upham over the years were, successively, Constables Wright, Fawcett and Bunker.
Thus, anyone calling the Police House would hear (depending on who was the constable at the time):
"Wright Uppem".
"Fawcett Uppem".
"Bunker Uppem".
(For best effect, read them out loud, in a suitably deep and official voice, just as the constable would have sounded.)

Ah,dear Toff, You concede victory too soon methinks. I rather enjoyed your latest post, however I must say that this is gleaned from a publication and will score you no points. Jolly good fun while this lasted though! |
