I also used to know a carrie hunt - just think of the hilarity when the first initial/last name is used, for example, on a piece of mail


I also have an old friend whose name is fiona clare king - the protocol for email addresses at the university where she working was first and middle initial with last name

I always wondered if there was actually anyone with the name Mike Hunt - too funny!

Drew Peacock is an awesome name. Seriously, do people not think before they name their kids?

Lol, hope there isn't an Ivan Itchianus.

There was a Mr P Enis in our telephone directory in england

LOL

Place names arent funny to you.....

Mutley in plymouth or relatives and friends in the states ask me if i live in a rough neighborhood or if we have street walkers or they say YOU LIVE WHERE OMG

i live on the Hoe in plymouth!!

There is a place down the road from me called Ventongimps which has always amused me...

I used to live in Mutley!

I lived in Ashford Road for about six months when my first marriage broke up in 1995 and it was a bit of a rough area. It's now considered an 'up-and-coming' place and house prices are through the roof.

Theres a town in Newfoundland, Canada called Dildo. Wonder if the town is run on batteries lol

there's a town here called 'Lunt' which is petitioning to have the spelling changed to 'Launt' (pronunciation would stay the same) because people keep changing the sign

There used to be a chain of sweet shops here called Fanny Farmers.

Knowing the UK meaning of the word fanny just changes things completely for me!

Here is a selection of odd place names around the world. Some are funny lol

And you think that fanny in the US meaning is ok for a sweet shop?!

You know your dealing with Americans and not British people when they are actually friendly in the TAX office

Ha ha! You went today? Aren't they lovely in the London IRS office? When I went, and owned up to not filing for over a decade, the guy behind the counter gave me a stern look, turned to his colleague and said, "Okay Mike, we got another one. Get the cuffs." And then he proceeded to help me get all the forms going back to 2004, and talked me through them.

I the London IRS guys!

Well, Fanny is actaully a name sometimes used for a woman here (not recently tho) so the sweet shop was named for the woman who started it, Fanny Farmer.

But can you imagine someone farming fannies? Oh the bizarre images that conjures!!

Yeah, they were sooo nice. I can't tell you what they did, they were so helpful that they made me promise not to tell anyone

And I went yesterday, on their busiest day of the year.

I worked with a Mr P Enis!

My mother recalls a guy in the local phone book when she was a kid named Dick Checker -- not so much a name as a vocation, methinks.

The priest who married my parents was called Harry Ball - I kid you not

Why are you guys talking about dirty names xD

I'll contribute anyway

My coach in high school, no lies, maybe could even find him online: Harry Dick Cox.

He went by Dick. I bet he thought long and hard about that one, which one of those two options is BETTER. Oh poor guy

I used to work with a lady named Joan Vinall-Cox. I couldn't believe that she didn't seem to notice.

I also used to work with a lady named Barb Boodhan. She had huge boobs, so we used to call her Boobs Bardhan when she wasn't within hearing distance. I was terrified I'd actually call her that to her face.

lol

MEGA-lol!

Yeah - it was a name used here a long time ago as well but still!!



LMAO!!!



Mr Tits-Pervert anyone?

Exactly!

How do you think I feel being in Kentucky?

I have a nickname for Cracker Barrel. I call it the Crack House. As does my wife now and my sisters in law. One of my sisters in law always promised to take me to Cracker Barrel and I said where The Crack House.

No one mentioned Corn Syrup

I asked my wife what Miracle Whip was and she said its Mayo but sweeter. Im like y'all add corn syrup to it. I could not stop laughing.

My wife won't let me buy corn syrup. She thinks im gonna put it all in my cooking .

How about the local commericals they look like they have been made on the budget of a dollar.

John Deere everythings John Deere here (hence I have the cap and t shirt)

Shopping on Sunday night something you can't do in the UK.

And finally a commerical for Vigagra or should I say Viva Vigagra.

Jay said why do you want to put butter in a sandwich Duh lol, he uses mayonaisse to spread rather than butter.

Oh yeah! Corn syrup!! I found some "authentic" Lea & Perrins and it had corn syrup... I swear the original doesn't!!

And my OH doesn't do butter in sandwiches either...

My Nan used to live next door to a woman named Pansy Pratt. My Nan called her "Old Pratty".

ha ha thats funny

They only have tiny jars of marmite and no big ones! the cheek of it!!

tut tut

and no one knows what a "jumper" is, lol

maybe you can see the tiny jars as like a nicotine patch for smokers... you can go smaller and smaller til you can finally wean yourself off the stuff

I prefer bovril anyway but I am going to make up a shopping list for mum when I get there and realise all the stuff I miss then get her to send stuff to me Anyone know anything about shipping refrigerated stuff?!

Is marmite that syrupy stuff in the green can i see in Tesco here? i asked my fellow shoppers what that was and all i got were blank stares!!! What is that stuff???

you may have a world market store near where your going they do a lot of english products.

Hehe, Marmite is a spread you put on toast or sandwiches. It's in a brown jar, with a yellow lid, it's a yeast extract, very very healthy for you. But I warn you, if you find it and want to try it, get a small jar, as you will either love it or hate it! you have been warned! hehe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite



Hehe! I get my mum to do that, but she just mainly sends me tubs of marmite which my sister gets for me from Macros. Is cheaper sending tubs that jars, because the tubs weigh much less.

I'm definitely a Marmite addict, you'd never be able to wean me off it, I've been eating this stuff for 23 years, it's my life!

lol maybe i should open a marmite factory, i love marmite crisps too, lol

Hmm - my brother has a macro card >< I wonder if they do bovril as well...

They may do, ask him to check it out!



oooh I never had those! ok, ganna have to make a list for my mum

to answer your earlier question, Jeraly - as far as I know, it's virtually impossible to ship refrigerated stuff, unless you're running an import business or something

That sucks - I know my mum has a friend who has a son in Georgia and I think she manages it somehow... other than that I guess it is going to be sneaky sneaky through customs

They never seemed to have a problem with cheese though which is a good thing I even got sniffer dogged once and begrudgingly owned up to my cheese - they seemed more concerned with vegetation and meat

Golden syrup?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_syrup



Does anyone else desperately miss Branston's Pickle?????

If I could wish for only one product that would be it..... and some proper cheese to make a sandwich!
