    Funny place names

    Obviously Muff is one but that's an old one really. On my way to Waterford the other day we passed through a place called "Granny" and I also saw a sign for "Kilmacow"

    Anymore?

    I've always found Nobber in Co. Meath and Termonfeckin in Co. Louth quite amusing.

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Stillorgan. Maybe they should consider twinning with Big Bone Kentucky.
    It's claim to fame is Big Bone Lick State Park, which includes the communities of Beaver Lick and Rabbit Hash!

    I'm not making this up!

    Tubbercurry in Sligo has amused some people I think.

    a few towns in Saskatchewan that make me laugh

    Kandahar, Seamen, Elbow and Climax.

    In fact i think Canada is a haven for funny place names. Also in this province are Moose Jaw and Uranium City.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Many a drunken Thursday night going into the 4 Lights asking for a
    Big 4 Special and a large Tubbercurry.

    I've friends from around there but I can never remember if they're from
    the Tubber side of Curry, or the Curry side of Tubber

    I always though Stoneybatter and Stepaside were funny enough.

    Effin in Limerick. I was at a wedding in Adare a few months ago and
    the mass was said by an Effin priest!

    Place outside Melbourne called PooWong which made me giggle.

    My home village Killashee isnt funny. Until some wag adds a 'P' at the end.
    Cockfosters in London i always find funny when said on the tube.
    Stoneybatter when said in a knacker Dub accent is always fun too.
    Ballsbridge and Killala are great for amusement too.

    Staines outside London is quite funny.
    Even funnier if you mention that Cockfosters and Staines should be twin towns.
