There's a Bell End Farm about 20 miles away from me, we used to camp nearby when the boys were young and with fail were amused driving past.

[DS20]

To sell to Anne Summers, maybe?

Back to naughty place names. In West Sussex is Cocking (featured on TG), 1/2 mile west of there is Didling, and then to the north west is Balls Cross and Lickfold. There's also Titty and Knob Hills.

I grew up about a mile from Cocking Hill. I've got a photo of the local signpost somewhere I'll dig out.

My dad's workshop is at Balls Cross. Excellent pub there. We'd drive the untaxed/ unMOTed shite on the private* road there and back after an evenings work.

When I lived in Aberdeen I once went on a trip to Orkney for the weekend mainly to visit the village of Twatt.

[Richard]

There's a Twatt on Shetland too, but it doesn't have a sign you can pose in front of.

I have been through Muff (Co. Donegal) a few times, but there are no photos.  Sadly*.  

 

 

In other news, I am grinning because the Saab's rough running has been cured by a new rotor arm (cost: £9.00)  The old one had no visible damage or wear, so it was a speculative swap, but the car's performance is transformed - from a high idle speed and awful misfiring when backing off the throttle, to a smooth engine with plenty of torque and much better pick-up

Google Maps has got a Pacman button to turn any map into a playable game.

Amusing placenames, my favourite is in Germany.

The American writer David sedaris lives between ( I think) two villages in West Sussex called cock bottom and titty hill ( or is it fanny end?), anyway it's on bbc I player. Sounds funnier when he says it.

Got an actual proper bargain on ebay in the shape of a £6.49 glass TV stand. Was half expecting the seller to claim it was broken or refuse to sell, but the only problem was getting back from the car to my house single handed

[MrDuke]

I want pics of your glass TV, it sounds awesome.

[MrDuke]

This is awesome:

In the New Forest

[jakebullet]

I haz new phone. Old one had developed habit of randomly turning itself off and having battery life of an x factor winner's career, but still on contract till July.

 

Went back to tesco, and if I give them £20 I can have something new and shiny and start again. Win!

 

S3 mini plz young man with silly haircut.

Are you sure? These are old n a bit shit and bound to be discontinued soon.

Yup. It's the phone I wanted last time, but was too tight to buy. I'm not paying more for one with a big screen that I'll end up smashing.

Ok grandad. Do you need help setting it up?

Sod off son.

 

I also get even more texts n minutes. Should come in mega handy when my average is 15 minutes a month used. I can not talk to people even longer now!

I need to go to a mobile phone shop and shout very loudly while pointing and saying "I want one with proper buttons that goes ring!  Do you have one of those?  I don't like new things!" before smacking the assistant across the shins with my walking cane/zimmer frame.

[fairkens]

I did that the last time I went for a new phone, still ended up with an iPhone...

I wish I could find the charger for my Motorola flip-phone. It cost about £30 ten years ago, and doesn't even have a camera. I adore it.

There is a sign somewhere in the New Forest saying `Do Not Interfere With The Donkeys From Behind`

 

Wise words indeed
