In Hertfordshire there is a village called Nasty and just over the border in Essex is another village called Ugley. The local paper was thus able to run a story entitled "Nasty Man Marries Ugley Woman".

Any good town or village names down your way?

There is a town called Hell about an hour away from here.

There's a town in Tasmania called Plenty because when you go fishing there's plenty of fish there.

There is also a place there called Snug, which is kind of cute.

some of the aboriginal names for towns are pretty cool - like Wagga Wagga, which means "crow, crow", and my old town Toowoomba, which means swamp

Placentia, CA.

I knew a girl from Toowoomba once, in NY in the early 80s. She was loads of fun.

We've done this one before, haven't we? Dastoor? Help!

Harrietsham, Kent.

Appledore, Kent (and one in Devon, I believe).

Peasmarsh, East Sussex.

Shag point could be a contender, as Gore might be. I cant think of any juicy ones offhand. I will have to contemplate

Dildo, Newfoundland is one of my favorites. Middle Muisquidobbit (dont ask me to spell it right) Nova Scoita is another great one.

There's a village called Muff up in Northern Ireland.

And on the train to Camber Sands a station called Headcorn.

Headcorn: where I endured a long, cold wait for the train back to London (actually North West Kent, but may as well have been London compared to Headcorn) when I was about 4. Not an experience I want to repeat anytime.

Another one. There is genuinely a hamlet in Dorset called New Buildings.

I've always like Downers Grove, Illinois.

Cockermouth up in the Lake District. A lovely place too.

"Cockermouth up in the Lake District. A lovely place too."

Home to the best vegetarian restaurant in Cumbria. See also: best surfwear shop in Antarctica, best Christian bookstore in Kandahar, etc.

That's not fair. There must be somewhere in Carlisle ...

What was the comedy show that the line "Come to ------- Road (can't remember now), It's got everything you look for in a road" came from?

Here are a couple of good ones for you... Tomifobia... Cowansville, Fitch Bay Georgeville where Donald Southerland & a few others have mansions. :) Gale

There's a village called Muff up in Northern Ireland.

I've actually been there. It's listed in Let's Go, so it's better known among the American backpacker-tourism crowd than one would expect such a tiny village to be.

And the first person who mentions "Intercourse, Pennsylvania" will have to contend with a plague of cockroach-bears.

I always liked the name "Cucamonga."
