I visited this one last year driving from Atlanta to Memphis and fair to say they have a high opinion of themselves (also a Brilliant rain storm while we were there)

There are many places here in Ireland that have great names but two that I know well are...
Man O' War! (Near Balbriggan) and...
Prosperous.
But one in the UK with captured my imagination and made me laugh, was the Cheshire village of Lower Peover. or it's neighboring village of course 'Upper Peover')
(For @Alan, this is pronounced as 'Peever')
But my all time favourite was in France at the side of a mountain, with a long drop to the left, was a sign posted to (at the bottom of the drop, 'DIE'. (Pronounced 'Dee')
So I got great mileage out of telling the kids who hadn't spotted the sign, 'Hey Kids, don't want to frighten you, but if we go down this winding road on this mountain, we're all gonna DIE!!!'
Of course we all took photos when we entered the village 30 minutes later.
 
There's a house a few hundred yards from me with a large stone above the front window with the name of the place - Bell End House
 
My friend teddy came round for tea last night, he didn't eat much and when I offered him more he said he was stuffed.
 
I asked my mum why she had called my sister Teresa

"cuz it's an anagram of Easter, and I love Easter."

"Now be quiet, your dad named you, Alan!"
 
Just been asked by some kids outside the co-op to get them 20 Richmonds, wasn’t happy about it, but did it, the abuse I got when I came back and handed them over.
Told them next time buy your own fucking sausages
 
I got fired from my job at the keyboard factory today.
